The Duck Inn's Duck Fat Dog is a the kind of mad scientist genius diners have come to expect from Kevin Hickey . The hybrid beef/duck link is a welcome addition to Chicago's hot dog landscape. Read more

Kevin Hickey 's personal passion project has garnered local and national accolades even the chef/owner didn't foresee. Don't miss the duck fat hot dog , the rotisserie duck , or the cocktails . Read more

Try the cheese curds and duck wings ! Also, I didn't eat this but sat next to the kitchen (which is fun by the way) and the toast hamburger looks scrumptious!

Zoe

The menus [actually] always changing which keeps you coming back & for the back patio in the warmer months. They have a knack for anything fish . Always order the duck fat fries , hotdog on the side.

Sure the duck seems obvious but the burger sandwich and duck fat hot dogs are great. Great cocktails and beers too.

Chicago Tribune

The dining room is closed Sundays & Mondays, but paradoxically, that's a good time to visit. If you want to sample the duck-egg carbonara or Buffalo duck wings , these days are your only opportunities. Read more

The Duck Inn has the soul of an indie neighborhood joint with the polish of a big-deal backer—a direct result of the Hickey-Rockit Ranch collab. Come for drinks and a hot dog at the bar . Read more

Burgers , duck wings , egg rolls , cheese curds , desserts , drinks, and service were all top notch. I can't wait to come back.

The hamburger sandwich has Brun Usstro cheese , a Finnish-influenced cheese made in Wisconsin that's born to melt, and it's served on rye bread with dijonnaise. Read more

Everything here is amazing! Try the roast duck and the duck egg carbonara ! Avoid the duck & foie tamale , it's too much dough

Zeke Franco

Definitely recommend eating and drinking at the bar . Amazing quality cocktails , delicious food, and great service.

Chris Steele

Call ahead to reserve an order of rotisserie duck for your table. Each bird amply feeds two. Wash it down with a Duck Out cocktail for the full fowl experience.

Todd Kuna

Decadent food options, with great beers & cocktails in a spot where you also find the local Sox crowd grabbing a high life after the game.

AJ Etsch

Duck fat dog , cheese curds , rice cake fingers, and delicious Bloody Mary are all great. Couple it with a nice patio and it's a win

Chicago Tribune

If there’s a better bird than the sized-for-two roasted duck at Kevin Hickey’s Bridgeport hangout (in a former pre-Prohibition tavern), I’ve yet to try it. Read more

On colder fall days, the Duck Inn will fire up its pit to allow folks to enjoy their back patio . Read more

Matthew Garchik

You can't go wrong but some automatic wins are the duck wings and cheese curds also the duck and shrimp egg role (my favorite)

Jon B.

Very yummy Bridgeport restaurant . Be sure to order ahead by 3PM for the duck specialty. Had the Italian beef , which was dynamite.

Service industry discount Sundays - 50% off entire check.

Curtis Hiller

Too expensive for the quality. Service was not acceptable. I eat a lot of duck , and the duck here was not good--dry and flavorless. The atmosphere was loud . Truly nothing redeeming. Go to Publican.

Jane Blank
