Duffy's Restaurants

Oh my!  We walked in the door and the greeter handed us our menus and said as he pointed any table over there!  Wait staff friendly, fast and courteous.  Our food was hot...well French Toast 3 pieces with a small piece of apple for garnish no meat offered  with it.  I ordered a side of hash browns...which weren't even grilled oh yes one burned spot was otherwise the were semi raw.

For many years, as a kid, I visited Duffy's, with my grandparents, or other family members. It's pretty much the same place I remember, same setup, same menu, etc.

Pretty good service, with ok food. Not much to complain about, but nothing to write home about either.

The best things to order here are their breakfast items, as they seem to be consistent. Other items, such as dinner stuff, is a little less difficult to predict. My mom ordered prawns, and her baked potato came out ice cold. The server was gracious about it, and fixed it, but still... kind of hard to believe the cooks would send it out that way. My sliders were just that, standard slider burgers. No fries come with, which seems a bit odd, but that's fine. My pops ordered an omelet, and he said it was really good. Like I said before, breakfast items seems to be consistently good here, but everything else is a toss up.

Overall, this isn't the first place, nor the last place I think of, when pondering spots to hit up for dining out. However, it's pretty likely I'll end up back here again, sometime in my many moons on the Harbor. I won't say I'll be thrilled to go back, but it's not the worst of places, in a town where there aren't many options. Kind of Meh, but mostly OK.

What a joke!

We were in the area on our way home from Ocean Shores when we stopped into this place.

First impression was that this place was family owned and was a mess. When you walk into the front door, the bathrooms are to your right and just past that is a wall of books and garage sale type items with price tags on them. To the left is a wall lined with Lotto and pull tab machines that end at a doorway to the bar. (I didn't enter into the bar) Just past the doorway to the bar and the wall of junk is a register sitting on top of a glass cabinet also full of "junk".

Two ladies (Old enough to know better) stood behind the register as a customer attempted to buy an apple pie. Once that transaction was complete, neither "lady" said anything to me, "can we help you?", "Welcome", NOTHING....

When Buzz exited the restroom and came up to the desk, we stood for another 5 or so minutes and finally asked for a menu. One female acted as if we interrupted her conversation and curtly turned the other way. Finally another "lady" appeared-beginnng to see the demographic here?) and took us to a table.

In all actuality, nothing on the menu looked appetizing. The restaurant advertises itself as Irish, but there were NO Irish dishes on the menu at all and the prices were unbelievably high.

The waitress that sat us acted like we were more of a bother than customers and did not come and take our order for almost 15 minutes.

At that point we were disgusted. The place had an odor that wasn't bad, but wasn't inviting, the menu items were not appetizing and were priced for a higher echelon of people.

The atmosphere wreaked of low class outdated decor and the entire place is screaming for a Gordon Ramsey visit. Better yet, I think this place needs Robert!

This critical Yelper will not return to this establishment not even for a restroom break or a cup of water. The staff is very "seattle-esque" (attitudinal) and is choosy about their customers who "Deserve" their kindness.

If I want to be ignored, I'll just go to Seattle and save a few bucks on gas.
If I want to buy garage sale items, I'll just go to a garage sale.
If I want Shit food, I can find that around here at a few places
If I want to pay $14.00 for a tuna Melt, I'll just go to the Queen Mary in Long Island CA.
Also, just because they claim to be Irish, doesn't mean they are...

I think you get the point...
