    I go to The Thirsty Duck every Wednesday with some friends from work and to sing Karaoke. The staff there knows me and always treats me like royalty. If you treat people well, they treat you well.

    The food is great, the first few times I tried the food, I went with safe things like Fries, Popcorn shrimp etc, which were all excellent. The oil used to cook everything was very fresh because all of my food has always been golden and delicious.

    I highly recommend the pizza. You go in thinking generic bar pizza but what you get is a real honest to god small town pizzeria fare. Very good.  I recommend the All Meat Pizza. It costs $14 and easily feeds two people. (I am a big guy)

    They have two-fers before 6pm (get there early because their clocks are set a little earlier).

    Their clientele does tend to skew a bit older, I am in my 30s, The older patrons tend to leave at around 8, except for the regulars and they are all pretty chill.

    The atmosphere is dark, but it is a bar, not a dance club, not a casino, not a family restaurant. It is a true dive and I love it.

    I go to Karaoke on Wednesday nights but they have it multiple nights a week, plus live shows from local and sometimes even touring bands. The prices are fair and the drinks are strong. it is my kind of place.

    I give them 1 star because since we are a family going to eat there doesnt mean you shouldn't completely ignore us! Wait staff stared at us when we walked in and didnt even acknowledge us. After waiting for 10 minutes we up and left with absolutely no service and not surprisingly there was only 3 other tables which were getting service. I absolutely do not reccomend this restaurant to anyone who actually wants to have a decent time.

    Loved the sweet n sassy older woman working behind the bar. Won $130 on a fracking themed slot machine in the back and got a little too trashed listening to a cover band who did "I Want it That Way." Heck yeah this place is cool.

    was one of the worst experience. over 2 hours for food and had to remind waitress 4 times about food. one person never even got their food and my order was messed up. I never even got my second drink. wasn't even that busy. doubtful I'll ever ever return. this isn't the first time I've been there with issues before

    I came here on a Wednesday around 6. The outside looks nice so I was optimistic.

    I was not impressed when I walked in. I don't know what was going on but several tables were reserved. Not a big deal, we found another table in the back. This place was very dark and not welcoming. I had no idea who the servers were nor did I even see them. It smelled weird and the chairs are torn. Maybe we came here on an off night but my group walked in and then right back out. They have about 5-6 dart boards and a small stage set up in the corner. This place has potential and I didn't try any drinks or food so it may be good! We were just not in the mood for that kind of atmosphere and headed elsewhere. One more thing- an older crowd was there. My group was 22-24. Just a little heads up! I hope this helps the next group!
