If you are looking for an awesome pizza, this is the place! We ordered the bbq chicken pizza, and it was excellent. The person who took our order described the sauce as a cross between bbq and sweet and sour. It was spot on and very tasty! The corn was unexpected and very good. We definitely recommend this restaurant the next time you are in Petoskey.

Got checked into hotel (Petosky area, 5 min drive to bar/grille) Sunday 8pm, looking for a restaurant that was open & had good food. I stumbled onto Duffys, it was well worth it!
We ordered Mushroom Swiss Burger w/ beer batter FF (+ upcharge from regular FF); Good Fella Grinder w/ coleslaw; And spinach artichoke dip w/ chips (appetizer), the total came to $43. The food was real good, the spinach artichoke dip is addicting, so good! 1 hour before closing ran in to grab our take out, this bar/grille seemed super clean, well taken care of, friendly staff, and the (male) bartender working 10/04/20 was absolutely amazing.
I'd highly recommend this place!

Was here in July while Covid was in full swing. Wanted a place that had outdoor seating. Even after 6pm on a Sunday (day after a huge storm came thru the area) there were people waiting to get a table outside. Server Adrian was helpful and kind and provided helpful suggestions about food choices. Always appreciate that. BBQ grinder was very good and personal pizza, Mediterranean Goddess was as well.
Had been here a number of years ago but really enjoyed our evening this time too.

We walked around town trying to find a place to eat and decided on Duffy’s. We asked for outdoor seating in the shade and it just didn’t seem very clean. Those metal mesh tables might be hard to clean but it kind of turned me off. I got the small Duffy’s salad with grilled chicken and my friend got a meatball grinder. The food was actually good and good size portions. Our waiter was okay but not great. We got our food five minutes before he remembered to bring us silverware and napkins. He didn’t check on us very much either.

We tried the Good Fella pizza and it did not disappoint! It was hard to choose as they all sounded great. The next day we stopped in for happy hour while out shopping and enjoyed 1/2 price drinks and the Arctic dip. That was also delicious. Served in a bread bowl with tortilla chips. We will be back!

First time we went around 5 pm & there was a 30 minute wait for a table inside or out but we were able to sit at the bar immediately.
My hubby & I ordered the Mushroom & Swiss Burger that came with fries ($12.50). They were ok but the bartender told us to order a pizza next time.
Next time we arrived around 3:30. We wanted to sit outside on the upper deck & had a short wait. We took the bartender’s advice & we built our own pan pizza. He didn’t steer us wrong - the pizza was excellent & the views of the lake were great.
They have some amazing specialty pizzas on their menu too.
Staff & service was great. Go for the pizza & if you want to sit outside, go early.
FYI - currently they are closed on Wednesday & Thursday.

Beautiful views, ok service (could be better) but food was disappointment. My daughter order shrimp fettuccine Alfredo and vegetables were cold, almost frozen inside. My steak and cheese sandwich was dry and over salted, fries over salted too. Not going back.

They have a fairly diverse menu (keep in mind some items aren’t available at lunch). The patio views are pretty good if you are into that. The staff was fantastic both times we ate there this trip. It does appear that they are still not open 100% as many tables were empty at dinner time, but the service was fantastic for the tables they were using, so I won’t complain about that. It’s better to run at high quality with fewer tables than half quality at full capacity. We will be back when we are in the area.
PS. Two picky kid eaters were happy, so if you have some in your group, there should be something for everyone.

My husband and I stopped here for supper on our get-away to Petoskey. I ordered a small Della Donna pizza which had spinach, roasted red peppers, artichoke hearts, tomato, basil, and feta. It was SO yummy! My husband ordered the Chicken Parmesan and just about licked his plate clean. We enjoyed the food, the fun garage/man-cave decor, and even the '60s-'80s rock music playing in the background.

Placed a take out order. Our food was incomplete. The grinder was meat and bread missing ingredients that they advertised on their menu. Our GF pizza was cheese and no sauce. When I called to ask what happened I was told the owner was really busy and would call me back later. Not helpful at all, food was mediocre and service was a total let down. Never going back.

We enjoyed this place tremendously! The service was great and mindful. We sat outside in the lower level balcony, but should have gone upstairs for even better views of the lake.
We ordered some appetizers and drinks to start. The bruschetta included an unexpected amount of balsamic. We enjoyed a gluten free turkey club grinder that was very crisp and delightful. The real sugar lemonade was a pleasant departure from the usual corn syrup stuff…and delicious. The Alfred was good, as was the calimari, veggie salad, and the anti pasta salad.
Several people around us ordered the pizza, but being Chicagoans we do not order pizza anywhere else, but this stuff looked homemade and good. Worth a try.

Duffy's sits on Petoskey's main downtown thoroughfare, which is very busy during the peak summer tourist season, although they are a year round operation. Its decked out in automotive memorbilia and is quaint enough to be called cheesy. The food is good, I tried their olive burger and beer batter fries which were hand cut and quite yummy. My date had the pulled pork with home made slaw - the pork was good, and the slaw was fantastic. It is a fairly large establishment with an upstairs dining room and an outside deck which has a pleasant view. From the looks of it, good bar food is their main asset. The servers were very friendly, albeit they were crazy busy. It appears there is a queue to get seated during peak times so plan for that if you go.`I liked this place.

We visited Duffy's last night for my husband's birthday and the food was excellent. Our waiter was also on top of our service, had a great sense of humor and was quick to refill our drinks. All 5 people in our party loved their food. If you're looking for great food, a chill atmosphere, and fun times, check out this place!

If you go with a large party (12 or more) plan on only limited menu of pizza. They would not let us break up into smaller groups as no one wanted pizza and said we all came together. We did not stay and eat, their customer service is terrible.

Fun at and grill that gives you a view of the Gaslight District and Little Traverse Bay. Service was fast and friendly, food was tasty and reasonably priced. I recommend the Chicken Tortilla Soup and their pizza. They serve Brix soda and the Cane Cola is soooo refreshing!
