★★★★★ 5.0 The Crafty Eater · Jan 2026

I remember coming to duffers when I was a little kid and I was able to recently make it back when I was a full grown 30s something old adult. Surprisingly enough nothing had really changed in the decades that I hadn’t been at duffers. There was a very warm nostalgia when entering the restaurant Made only more apparent with the decor and the carpeted dining room floors. The food was pretty much what you would expect at a family owned American type of restaurant with salads, burgers, chicken fingers, those sorts of things. But the real stand out had to be their ice cream! If you come to duffers and you get a sitdown meal you have to follow that out with some delicious dessert. You could either get that at the ice cream shop adjacent duffers, which is still owned by them or you can get it rig

We went on a Monday night around 830pm and was told a 30 minute wait. Since there's an arcade on sight it wasn't difficult to pass thr time. When it was our turn to be seated, I ordered the caramel apple sundae. It was delicious, but the apple pie and caramel mist have been very hot because the ice-cream melted. The caramel added a great touch too. I'd order this again. My spouse had the strawberry stack. It was 2 thick slices of pound cake with a pint of ice cream in the middle with strawberries on top. We ordered a strawberry scoop sundae off the kids menu too. Definitely recommend. The servings are huge so this is meant to share or be prepared to eat it.

We love duffers. The food is delicious, the miniature golf is fun. But I gave 4 stars for service because both times that I have been there food was brought out for half our table and we had to wait well over 5 minutes for the rest of our table to receive their meals. So those of us who received our meals early feel awkward eating in front of those still waiting. A table should be served together. They should wait until everyone's food is ready at a table before serving. Other than that, everything was great.

Homemade ice cream. I picked chocolate soft serve as the homemade flavor I wanted was out. (Nutella). They did not have Kit Kat topping 😞. My hubby got the Cookie Monster and Cookies & Cream. It was all very good. A little on the expensive side, $17 for ice cream. The servers seemed bored. They were not rude but they didn’t go out of their way to be friendly.

Great, just great. The atmosphere is awesome, and the service is great, and the food was excellent. The chicken cutlet bacon club sandwich was so good and so big it could have feed 3 kids or 2 adults the chicken was so juicy and the bacon cooked to perfection I could eat there everyday if my pockets could offered to not saying there expensive prices are great for the portion you get. The salmon sandwich was ridiculous so big so juicy so tasty my son has expensive taste buds lol but he really enjoyed it, so that's what makes me happy that he loved the sandwich. I didn't get a chance to try there amazing sundaes I was so stuffed from dinner I didn't save room for dessert 😫 but from what I saw there bowls of ice cream look like they are a meal in it self there huge cups they come in. See you
