Midway Duck Inn

First time dining here tonight. The food was great and service was wonderful. I had the crispy chicken sandwich with nashville hot added to it. My husband had the philly cheese steak sandwich. Then my kids had the mini corn dog kids meal and mac-n-cheese kids meal... they both cleared their plates and said they'd want to come back again (we don't always get that answer from them - so it's worth noting). Very large portions, additional sides, and complimentary rolls to start. We didn't have reservations for a Saturday night. It was good we showed up before 6 because it really started filling up.

Burgers: 9/10
Cod horseshoe: 8/10
Corn fritters: 10/10
Overall: highly recommended!

While out for a drive we stopped in for lunch because we'd heard good things. We were not disappointed. This is a great local dive and diner. Unlike many diners, this was very clean and not musty smelling. The atmosphere was vintage yet authentic. We asked for recommendations and the very helpful server mentioned the burger and cod horseshoe were excellent. They were. We also ordered corn fritters and were they a treat! I would definitely recommend this for lunch and I'm sure dinner would be even better!

Delicious food
Amazing people
Love eating there anytime we go

I thought it was a very nice place. The dimly lit atmosphere was comfortable and the staff was friendly. We were on our way home from a long hot day of softball and felt very comfortable there although we were under dressed. I think it can be a spot for a nice dinner out or some drinks and appetizers. Our food was very good. Panco chicken sandwich, chicken strips, fries, fried sweet corn fritters and a filet sandwich. A very nice surprise and enjoyable experience.

The entrees of ribeye and chicken and waffles were very good. The ribeye had nice flavor but a tad on the chewy side. The seven layer salad with chicken was excellent. However, the lobster french frys are outstanding. I could make a meal out of the lobster frys alone.
The wait staff was outstanding.
We will be back soon

Always loved this local been going for years. I do think ownership has changed. The inside is a bit nicer now but louder. We ordered the fried chicken. Cooked to perfection and largest chicken I ever had. The fritters are excellent. I ordered extra not knowing came with the meal. Great service from the waitress. So overall excellent. Only negitive it is a bit loud and where we sat busy with traffic. But great food and service.

Hadn't been here in a year place has been redone inside and looked great. Still the same feel but freshened up. Our server was very friendly and very attentive. Had corn fritters for an appetizer not too many places have these yet alone do them right. They do them right, very good. My Cheeseburger with bacon added was excellent and huge. If there was any downside it would be that my dinner partners tenderloin had changed since our last visit (which was our reason for going there) she said it was still good just not like it was before. The menu has also been refreshed and we look forward to returning and trying other things.

Awesome meal the salad is top notch. I got fish and chips wow it was awesome!!!! Thank you!

An excellent afternoon with great drinks, food & service. Reasonable too!

Amazing place. Their jerk chicken is fantastic. One of our favorites is the pan fried chicken. Great flavor and large size pieces. AuGratin potatoes are the best I have ever had and you can't go wrong with the corn fritters. The whole family agrees this is one of the best restaurants in the area.

It was delicious! The best chicken ever! Service was great, drinks were good. If ever back in this area, it is a must!

The hostess, waitress and all were very friendly. I enjoyed it tremendously and it was my birthday and I got an apple fritter with whipped cream on top. Amazing!!

Went in with a party of 13 without notice and they were able to handle our group very well! Food came out hot and fresh and the beers kept coming!

this place is awesome! i love the atmosphere and the service. Fried chicken is the bomb! corn fritters are 2nd. don't come in expecting to get this chicken fast it's made per order so expect to relax and enjoy your time.

I live in Sheridan, Illinois and make frequent trips down to Bass Pro in East Peoria and been meaning to stop in one day. Stopped today and I'm glad I did. The service is great. The food is awesome. Had the fried chicken. Delicious! Had the duck tenders, those are amazing with their homemade sauce. Definitely will stop again when I come through.

The pan fried chicken is excellent. I would recommend this restaurant, all the food and fritters are really good.

My sister and I went for the fried whole catfish dinner. It was excellent! Perfectly cooked, and a nice size. The side salad was exceptional with mixed greens and chopped fresh veggies. I liked the honey mustard dressing. The augratine potatoes were a nice change from the usual potato choices. The fritter that comes with it was huge and delicious! The service was excellent: very friendly and efficient.

My husband and I had dinner last night for the first time at the Duck Inn. We went all in and got the steak and lobster tail special. It did not disappoint!! It was by far the best meal I’ve ever had! The steak and lobster was delicious as expected but the sides of au graten potatoes and corn fritter were omg crazy delicious on their own! Even my salad was amazing! We will be back!

We dined here in July with 6 of us. Fantastic service and food selection. Enjoyed the décor as well. What a gem of a place worth the drive and stop. Reminded me of when we lived in Minnesota w/décor and hospitality. Might be one of my favorite restaurants to eat at when in Illinois. Freshest salad I've ever had!

Been to this place several times now. Always outstanding food and service. Just tried the onion rings. They were wonderful. They serve magnificent catfish too.
