My favourite place to go in Shelburne and the owner is really nice.

I got the Jerk burger with french fries, burger was overcooked and burn (charcoal edges)and the fries from the frozen bag,my friend burger was the same, my wife ordered Toscana style pasta that tasted like nothing,we added extra chicken, but can't find any ? and I believe the sos was from the can, nothing to do with home made food, otherwise very interesting place and friendly atmosphere.

First time at The Duffy and loved it. The food was fantastic and the service was amazing. We will definitely be returning. Brisket is to die for and the tacos are mucha buena. Looking forward to trying the hamburgers. Oh yah....the baked brie starter....ohhhh it was beyond word...a must try.

We had a private event for 20 people and everything was excellent. The food was great! We had mac and cheese, wings, flat breads, cesar salad and spinach dip. It was hot and home made! Chris and Greg could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Highly recommended if you are in Shelburne. They also have a nice outdoor patio although we had the entire inside reserved and it was perfect. Thanks !

We ended up on the patio of this gem and could not be happier. The Owner was very nice and accommodating and let us know about their process and thought behind the establishment. We had a few beers and some of the best nachos I have ever had. We liked the food so much, we ended up getting a few different plates to take home for later. They had run out of a few smoked items but we will definitely be going back there to try them!

Have been stopping here when we go North, never have been disappointed until today. This establishment had always prided itself that everything is fresh, well I can guarantee that the chicken burger was definitely a frozen patty, didnt even come close to filling the bun. The owner was handling the tables, husbands draft came with a fruit fly, (that he had to point out.) His replacement was not completely full, not pulled properly. While the owner brought condiments and drinks to tables, he never took dirty dishes or glasses back inside, first rule as a server, never go back empty handed. The result is several tables covered in dirty glasses and plates that attracted hoardes of flies. After we left continued our journey and noticed a young girl clearing the tables, so he took the tips and left her to clean up the mess, regretting the, while be it small, gratuity we lefr. Won't be back until the reviews improve, if at all.

Yikes, that was rough……
The quality of the food was unbelievably poor. The staff unfortunately did not have an idea of what beer was on tap when asked (basic knowledge that ought to be known - ie, “is it a lager or an ale?”).
They didn’t have coke/pepsi on the long weekend for service. Likewise did not have 4x BBQ mains, that essentially was a reason we decided to dine there. Ordered the Nashville Honey Chicken sandwich for dinner. Ended up waiting over an hour for a “Janes” chicken patty drenched in pre-fab condiment sauces. Fries that accompanied were pitiful, not fresh, in a small portion soggy, and clearly out of a frozen food isle.
Rough experience all in all, that did not even come close to justifying the 20-25$ price.
You could essentially see the shame on the staff’s expressions when dropping off the food at the table and subsequent check-ins, in that, they knew how poor the quality of food was. I know I couldn’t stand by that kind of product with any enthusiasm either.
Such a shame for a lovely location, and patio. Would not recommend, not until they remedy their issues within the kitchen.

Truly slop. The reviews praising the food must be used to eating reheated frozen garbage for premium restaurant prices. My ribs were sad and definitely not smoked (coming from someone who ran the smoker at one of the GTA's best BBQ joints). Mashed potatoes were bitter for some reason and the cowboy caviar was mushy and flavorless. Worst of all was the 1.5+ hour wait with only two other tables seated in the place. They didn't have half the menu, just truly depressing vibes. The smoking section of the patio is also definitely not allowed, hope they shut that down. Stay in and cook at home, it will be faster, cheaper and significantly tastier. This was a second try for this place after seeing the good reviews, but it's just as disappointing as ever.

The worst chicken burger i have ever had. All of our food was frozen. They make it sound on the menu that its all made in house, the chicken burgers are definitely a no frills or janes patty. They didnt even have coke and many things on the menu, on the start of a long weekend. We waited easily over an hour and a half for food. My sister got a half rack of ribs that was smothered in what tasted like diana sauce. Mashed potatoes were bitter. Fries were cold and frozen. Came here with my family to have a good dinner before my sister moves away and it was the worst experience. My parents have lived here for a long time and figured to give Duffy another chance due to the recent good reviews. We were hoping that despite the wait, and being told our food was coming in a few minutes (many times) the food would be worth it. It was not. I couldnt even finish my meal. 10/10 regret going here and recommended to anyone reading this, they dont either.
We drive from Aurora to eat here whenever we get the chance!
