It's bright and airy but also cozy. Staff is INCREDIBLY friendly and accommodating and the food And drinks were amazing. Went for brunch @ 1pm and some bowling to celebrate a birthday. Lanes are super close together (duh) so the room is limited. I recommend 2 lanes if you're doing more than 6 people. 1 hour was enough time to play one game with six people at a casual pace. Table space while you're bowling is limited so we usually bowl with drinks and a group appetizer and then move back to the tables to have an actual meal. Lots of fun with good food in a friendly atmosphere. Get the blood Mary "all dressed up" (yeah I know it's $24 but it's well worth it) We tried the Crying Johnny Smashburger (tastes like POWERS used to. IYKYK), the chicken TENDIES, and the red velvet pancakes they have for brunch. We drank the PB & J old-fashioned, a Paloma and that bloody Mary that I would seriously consider trading my teenager for. Today was our 2nd time in 2 months and we plan on going back sooner than later. Give it a shot. You won't be disappointed.

DO NOT blind book a little kids birthday party here. You will find out very quickly that isnt tailored towards kids. This is a swanky, yet family friendly establishment but it isnt designed for several kids to play like its chuck-e-cheese. Things are very shiny, new and expensive. The layout is 100% open, so your kids are able to venture to the bar, they can even wonder into the kitchen. Servers are in and out of the kitchen and struggle to perform when little ones are running everywhere. They will do all they can to accommodate you and will soar above your expectations, but you will leave embarrassed if you decide to do so. At one point the manager grabbed his laptop, sat by us and just watched as the place turned into jungle georges. I imagine there will be a policy implementation soon. Overall the place was spectacular, and its plenty of free parking in the lot west of the building.

Ducky's is such a fun environment and family friendly! Bowling in the building and outdoor games make the wait for the food well worth it. You can tell the food was made by hand with love and care. The staff is very friendly and attentive, and the food is delicious and worth every penny! I highly recommend the brunch bloody mary piled high with delicious goodies.

We went to Ducky's and the brunch was definitely top notch. The chicken and waffles had a spicy kick to them but not over powering. The portion size was excellent and well worth the money. The bread pudding French toast was rich and creamy but not overly sweet. All in all it was very well balanced. We had the bloody Mary, very well blended and balanced flavor. We will definitely be back, highly recommend.

Ducky's is a great addition to the downtown space. Located in the new Pearl complex, it is easily accessible and parking is plentiful. The space is a classy, slightly upscale bowling alley with modern touches and throwbacks to duckpin's hayday. The drinks were strong and flavorful, service was great all around. The food prices are a little higher, but about average for downtown. We didn't have a full meal here, but the appetizers were fresh and unique but tasty. The highlight is the duckpin bowling, which has a great digital system and even various game styles to play. We reserved early for an hour, ($32/up to 6 people per lane), with 2 people we played 4 games through casually. I do wish they had the prices for bowling and more general info regarding it on the website.
