I stopped by Duffy’s Tavern and Grille and it felt like a classic neighborhood sports bar — lively but comfortable, with TVs on, cold drinks flowing, and a friendly crowd. It’s the kind of place where you can show up in jeans, grab a seat at the bar, and instantly feel like a regular.
I ordered a burger with fries, and it was exactly what you’d hope for: juicy, flavorful, and satisfying without trying to be fancy. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh. It’s solid comfort food that pairs perfectly with a beer.
Overall, Duffy’s has that dependable, laid-back energy that makes it easy to come back. Good food, casual atmosphere, and a welcoming vibe — sometimes that’s all you really need.

This bar is a hidden gem as far as I am concerned. It’s never too crowded (as far as I’ve ever been in it) and the service is nice and efficient.
My husband and I had their pizza, which was great. We got their chicken pizza and it plus an appetizer was plenty for the two of us. I will say, their fried pickle appetizer had a rather smallish portion but was yummy.
Their prices for beers and cocktails were average, but happy hour prices are very nice. They don’t have a huge draft selection but they have the regulars you’d expect to see.
The staff was super nice. I left my keys there by accident and someone saved them and put them in the manager’s office. I was able to come the next day to pick them up.
They have lots of tvs, as sports bars typically do, and the staff was happy to change the channel to a game my husband wanted to watch while we ate. Overall, I really enjoyed eating here the few times I have and will be back!

Walking in, I thought we were way not cool enough to be there. The bar looks very trendy, but the bartender was so nice, we felt incredibly at home. Husband and I are from out of town, and by the time we left, we felt like we were leaving our neighborhood bar. Drinks were reasonably priced and the pretzel bites were great (A+ cheese dip!) I’m a little bummed we don’t live here, because Duffy’s has a TON of events advertised, everything from trivia to plant sales to karaoke! I’m bummed I won’t be able to go to these events, so you should go and review them so I can read about them!
I think our bartender was called Mike? I know he’s 36, and his favorite Postal Service song is This Place Is A Prison. If this sounds like you: you were a wonderful bartender and person!

Duffy’s Tavern was a great spot to watch the Bills game. The bartender being a Bills fan made it even better… right up until the playoffs broke our hearts . Food and drinks were solid, vibes were perfect, and we only cried a little on the way out. Would 100% come back — hopefully next time for a win

What can I say? The place seems great, the people working there seem friendly and are doing their best.
Now, when you wait 1h30 for 1 fried Italian beef, you’re sure you should have 2 or 3 of them, seeing other people get their orders. In contrast, they ordered half an hour later than you and got it half an hour before you, when the order was not even properly made and was cold, and you got it because you asked 3 times for it. I mean, at some point, there’s a problem. Maybe if the cook spent less time trying to hook up with customers, it would be seamless, and everybody would be would be hapitbout that. Really disappointed here.it We gave a try for something else, undercooked, no sauces for the fries o,r tenders not even a ketchup bottle. Paying for that is a disgrace.

A group of us went to their New Year’s Eve party last night and were incredibly disappointed. The flyer advertised house wine and a champagne toast with the ticket package, neither were available.
We used to come here for Tuesday Trivia but they switched companies and switched days without any notice. Our trivia team were the ones who ended up notifying the trivia host. Very disappointed with the changes and won’t be back

Been coming here for so long for Michigan and Lions games since i’ve moved here. Really truly loved making a community here. Tonight at the
Rams v. Bears game this man here who harassed multiple women including myself with zero consequences, until the game was over. Was buddy-buddy with bartenders and only got a warning about getting thrown out after he banged on the bar table. Completely unacceptable the staff and management did nothing to remove this man from the bar after clearly seeing how he was behaving. Very disappointed and will not be returning.

We’ve been coming here for awhile for trivia and dinner, and I would have rated it 5 stars in the past…. But they changed their menu, and it sucks. The salads are gross and overpriced for what you’re getting, the portions were drastically reduced, food seldom comes out hot anymore, and they’re always “out of pizza dough” whenever we try to order pizza. Their southwest salad, the fish n chips, and the grilled cheese w/ tomato soup used to be the best things! But they’ve changed so much and/or have been removed from the menu. Please go back to how things used to be!

This place hasn’t changed in 20 years except the prices have sky rocketed. Place is still a dump. Dark, scray, smelly, definitely would not order food here. But it has an understated charm of drunken years past. I would definitely not go here if you’re over the age of 25. Have some respect for yourself and go somewhere else. And Duffys, I know cash is rare but charging a “Service Fee” of 3.99% even when I paid cash, come on. You are just pathetic and sad if you have to do that to survive.

Loved it! I truly appreciated the staff. Celebrated my birthday here. The best brunch ever! Buffet style brunch, unlimited drinks for 51.50 includes taxes and gratuities! will return every year.
