Duckworth’s Grill & Taphouse

I just ordered Nachos to-​go (through Postmates) and I am literally appalled. I will NEVER go back to Duckworth’s again. My nachos and cheese are burnt and completely inedible. I can’t even fathom what restaurant would EVER send something like this to a PAYING CUSTOMER.

We decided to go here during the Taste of Charlotte festival. My daughter had a cheese pizza kids meal which looked fantastic. She enjoyed it too because she ate it and it’s a pretty decent size pizza for a kids meal. Probably the same size as the small in the regular menu.
I had an appetizer, the chicken tenders with fries. The chicken tenders were pretty good, I had them cooked in BBQ sauce. The fries were hot when served but they were ok. I didn’t really eat them because I didn’t care for them much.
My mom had a Caesar salad and it was tasty and fresh for her.
Our waitress was friendly and prompt. She made sure she kept refilling our drinks regularly before they got empty, which was pretty good since we kept drinking them quickly. We were very thirsty since it was around 95 degrees outside. The only reason I’m not giving a 5 was because of the fries. I’m just picky about them.

Beer and appetizer wonderful, main course had to send back because it was not cook completely (bbq chicken) potato was warm. When sending the bbq chicken back, they returned the side to me, which would be cold waiting for the chicken to come back to me. overall experience would be, coming back for drinks but that would be it.

I’ve frequented the Duckworth’s in Ballantyne and service and food has always been good.
I recently decided to call in an order for pick up at the North Tryon location and went I came home and started eating my blackened chicken ceasar wrap, I noticed a light brown strand of hair lodged in my wrap (I have jet black hair, btw.) Needless to say I threw the rest of the wrap away. Wasted my $ 10.
Won’t eat here again. Maybe the chefs should try pulling their hair back and wearing hair nets, because there’s absolutely no excuse for this. Disgusting.

Great place for a game, not for a dinner. TVs are the main star at this restaurant, not the food.
Staff was attentive and friendly, no complaints there.
Restaurant has a great selection of beers and is presented on an iPad so it makes it easy to select. A decent selection of mixed drinks is offered as well.
Food was average and no thought is given to presentation. Food is much like a Chilis or a TGiFridays. We ordered cupcakes for dessert and they did not have all of the flavors in stock, so really instead of getting four distinct flavors we had to have multiples of one.
Bottom line: great place to watch a game and grab a beer, not for the serious foodie.

Another one of my favorite places to eat in Charlotte. They almost have too many great things to choose from — ALMOST. My favorite dish is their meatza pizza. Great fresh tasting ingredients on an amazing crust. Fun atmosphere if you like a bar feel. Great location in uptown. Definitely a place to check off your list to try! Oh, and please try their potato skins — they are A-​mazing!

Burger in tots were amazing and the drink prices are wonderful. Sunday’s evening is the best time to come, make sure you bacon is on the sandwich tho

I Love this place it’s the most friendly place and uptown Charlotte North Carolina. It’s such a wonderful place we had to come back every single night we were here and we had the most amazing server Darius, He is wonderful!

I’ve never been to a Duckworth’s before, but it was late, it was open, and they had food. The ambiance is nice, although the walls of TVs seemed a little over the top. The iPad for the beer list was kind of amazing, as, evidently, was the beer list itself. I’m not much of a beer guy, but evidently their tap room was a connoisseur’s dream.
The food was okay, nothing too great. The sweet-​and-​bold wing sauce was decent, but I’m not sure if it should be a best-​of-​Charlotte winner. The pulled pork was dry and didn’t have as much flavor as I would have expected. I had to drench it in barbecue sauce in order to get it chewable. Their coleslaw was the highlight of the evening — I could have taken a couple of pounds of that home with me and eaten it all night. The menu itself was comprehensive, but it could stand an iPad or some better organization. It was tough to find what I wanted, especially with each page having different side items that wound up being specific to the page.
The service? Holy crap. The service would make the Baby Jesus cry. Our server, Lex, is the slowest human being on the face of the earth. She has the attention span of an ADHD puppy and the trundle speed of a very dizzy baby turtle. It took one of my dinner companions more than thirty minutes to get a beer and it took me an hour to get my food. Well, most of my food. She forgot two different things and had to go back and, I’m assuming, got lost navigating the Maze of Trials that leads to the kitchen and back. We asked about a specific beer on the list, only to receive «I haven’t really bothered to learn about beers. I’m not sure how long I’m going to be working here anyway» as our response. What the shit, Lana. After we kept asking her to refill our drinks (a process that took ~15 minutes each time), she really let her ghetto come out, giving me an attitude that was worthy of Medea.
All in all, they put effort into this place, which was nice. I might try it again when I’m back in Charlotte, but I’m going to try my best to avoid Medea’s younger sister if I do come back. Food? Decent. Service? Absolutely worthless.

The only reason this place gets a 3 is because of the beer selection.
Bartender Boe is a pampas ass and lacks customer service and tending skills. He was not up to date on drinks, infact i had to explain to him how to make a Godfather.
Casey is a 360 of Boe, so if you have a choice, go with Casey! If Boe is the only one here… rum as fast as u can to SIP (down the street) and see Marti! I had to explain it to her as well but at least she made it with a smile and it was tasty!
BTW, the «MerBear Rye IPA» is decent…

Beautiful establishment. Pulled pork was seasoned well. Loaded tots were as the boys say…“life”. Best cheat meal a man could imagine. But…
The…
Nachos…
Amazing. Make sure you have enough friends too eat them tho, or a giant and your wife like I did.

Duckworth’s delivers exactly what you want, if you planned to go to Duckworth’s. They have great bar food, especially their wings (mommoo’s & sweet bold and gold) and a giant beer selection. There are so many breweries in Charlotte, but Duckworth’s is really no slouch when it comes to beer selection and quality.
If you have been to the other Duckworth’s on Park Rd., then you may like this one better. There is way more space, so you don’t have to stand awkwardly in a cramped space while people whack you with the door on the way in.
Oh…and you may want to bring sunscreen, because the radiation from the 10,000 TVs may bake you while you eat.

I’m a sucker for the typical guy things like brick walls, lots of tvs and lots of beer. Duckworths takes it to all new heights though. Well over 100 beers on tap — Ipad menus — jam packed rows of flat screens. For some it can be a bit overwhelming and others a feast for the senses. I was also impressed with the amount of natural light in the main bar; it’s nice to be able to see who you’re talking with.
The beer list is well selected. I enjoyed a Tropical IPA from the Sierra Nevada Beer Camp series that had all three of my favorite hops in it. Our waiter was friendly, brought beer samples and didn’t pout when we just ordered drinks. I don’t even mind the «we card everyone policy». I have yet to eat at Duckworth’s (the main dining area) but it’s definitely on my «to do» list. If it’s anything like the food they serve in the Cellar portion, I’m certain it’s good. As for the rest, I could sit and drink here all day long without running out of choices.

Cool place, lots of TVs. Went for lunch so I don’t think I got the full effect like watching a game there or having dinner Uptown. Overwhelming is one word I would use to describe this place though. Both the beer list and menu were so large it was almost stressful to decide. When our server came to take our order I just spouted something out that wasn’t even one of my top contenders. I had the fish tacos and would not get again. There was too much fish on them, I know thats not something people normally complain about but they were hard to eat. I also didn’t like all of the pineapple and mango in the salsas. I should have went with the buffalo chicken philly. I will definitely go back to try! We started with the fried banana pepper rings which were really good and my brother really liked his cobb salad. Will go back, just order differently!

THIS is what Raleigh Beer Garden should be like! Although Duckworth’s doesn’t have the Guinness World Record for Beer Taps, they do come very close! I really enjoyed that I was able to leisurely go through the beer list from the comfort of a provided iPad, which had options to display beers by brewery, location, and even style. It was easy to understand, easy to see my choices, and therefore easy to order.
We went early on Saturday to watch the UNC v. State game, and found very few people inside. The space is large and comfortable, food was filling, and the staff was attentive and friendly. It’s a great sports bar, with almost more TVs than beer taps (I kid), but there’s a channel for everyone and every team.

What a great place to watch a game, they have a crazy amount of TVs! We came here for the first time on Sunday to watch the Panther’s game. Come early, its always packed on game day. We had to wait for seats, luckily the patrons watching the earlier game happily gave their seats to us during the last minute of their game. Our server, Amanda, was awesome, very attentive and was close by whenever we needed her. The staff as a whole was also very helpful, the game wasn’t running on a TV near me but a server was happy to quickly change the channel to the Panthers game.
Duckworth’s has a great selection of beer on tap, it was pretty fun to check out the variety on their iPad system. I stuck with a Hefenweizen all night while the bf had his Bell’s Two Hearted Ale, we were pretty happy with the drinks. I switched to rum and ginger ale in the last quarter of the game, reasonably priced for game day. We also ordered a 10 piece boneless wing order and a regular size of garlic fries, I wasn’t a huge fan of the food but it did the job. The garlic fries were greasy and needed seasoning. The wings were crispy but lacked the heat we were looking for in wings. It was more of a mild than hot sauce. Neither of us finished our food, but we weren’t really here for the food. It just would have been nice if it was out of this world.
All in all, we had a great time and will be back for more! Cheers.

I was super excited to try out Duckworths! My boyfriend has been here before and he loved it, said they have awesome wings! So when myself and a few coworkers were planning a lunch on Saturday I suggested Duckworths… we were not too pleased.
Overall, the food was just average. I got the summer salad. It was first brought to me without any dressing so I had to ask for it. Once I added it to my salad, I wish I hadn’t. It was too oily and kind of ruined the «summery» taste. And they also forgot to put the Gorgonzola cheese on it, bummer. My friends burger was good, but she asked for sweet potato fries sweet sweet and they weren’t brought out that way. So she asked for new ones and they did bring out another order but they looked the same. Another friend got the blue cheese chips which weren’t terrible but thy were drowning in blue cheese with no where near enough chips. Once the chips were gone, there was almost a full bowl of clue cheese. So needless to say, we weren’t too impressed with the food. Maybe we just ordered non popular items.
The service was odd… our waiter was super awkward and every time he came over it felt like he was waiting for us to initiate the conversation. I’ve been a server for a long time and that’s definitely not the most effective way to get the attention of your tables! After one of our friends left and asked for her check early, he brought it but never came back for the rest of us. It had been about 45 minutes before we had to flag him down for our checks, which was okay because we were talking but in any other situation, way too long to wait for a check. Service was mediocre at best, especially since it wasn’t even busy!
The atmosphere was great! Tons of tvs, decorated really nicely, and beer taps everywhere which was cool. It was a fun environment and definitely a good place to watch the game or go have a few beers at the bar. I’ll probably try Duckworths out again just because I’ve heard so many good things and their menu is huge so I’d like to test some other items out.

Top 3 /​Review Summary
1. Televisions galore. I challenge you to find a spot where you can’t see a television. Restrooms don’t apply to this challenge.
2. Beers galore. A broad selection of ales on tap that would impress the most discerning beer snobs
3. Sports galore. Looking for a specific game, odds are it’ll be playing at Duckworths

Sensory overload, but in the best way possible. This place is plastered with TVs and has a beer list a mile long. Seriously, if you can’t find a beer here you want, well then the problem is you.
The beer menu is on an ipad. You can even search keywords. This makes my quest to drink #allthepumpkin beers much easier. I’m a huge fan of Duckworth’s philly cheesesteaks and pizza. I should probably branch out and try other things, but I just can’t seem to quit you buffalo chicken philly.
This place is perfect for football, basketball, baseball, and any other fill-​in-​the-​blank sport. We spent four hours here Saturday with a group of seven people. Seven people who all had parlays. What does that mean? Well, they were able to watch all 42 384 729 837 948 272 games they needed to see. When the 3:30 games ended, they even changed four TVs for us. Don’t worry, we all made sure that no one was watching those screens.
Service has been kind of hit or miss for me. Saturday our service was fantastic. We watched the Cubs wildcard game here a few weeks ago and it was a cluster. I felt bad for everyone working there because it was obvious they weren’t prepared for the crowd.
This location has different menu specials each day. Looking for late night food? They serve their entire menu until 2am.

Stopped in to meet up with friends and enjoy some football on the TV. The place was packed but after a brief wait a table opened up and all of the seats at our table had a view of at least one television tuned into the game.
Duckworth’s has the right snacks for watching the game. We had a chicken quesadilla, some boneless wings (two flavors) and a plate of the chicken nachos. The quesadilla and the wings split up nicely but the plate of nachos was insanely huge. A LOT of chips, cheese and chicken on this monster platter. Excavating around the edges worked well because the chicken and «stuff» was more inside than on top.
Where Duckworth’s wins is their amazingly organized beer list. Sure, some places print stuff out. But no, not this spot. They have iPads for the table that list their beers, provide descriptions and prices. So if you’re looking for something different that perhaps you’ve never had before, this is the spot.
We enjoyed our time. Decent service and way lots of televisions.
