| - I was super-excited to see that Duckworth's was opening nearby. I've been to the Mooresville location and was a fan of the place, particularly the beer selection. Having a location close to home is great, as Duckworth's makes for a good casual place to have a casual dinner and beer.
We headed in on a whim at around 6:30 on Wednesday night and the place was hopping. The interior was a bit too loud at first, but our table ended up being away from the bar area and was much quieter. While it's a sportsbar feel, it's still a family-friendly place and there were plenty of kids running around.
Despite the heavy customer flow our waitress remained attentive and did a great job.I initially assumed it was so busy because it was still relatively new, but the Wednesday $3.50 draft special was probably the reason. The beer selection is expansive, and almost a headache to read. The front cover does mention which craft beers to try based on which of the more well-known commercial beers you prefer, and is organized alphabetically by brewer, along with the type of beer it is (stout, lager, etc.) Most of the drafts are usually between $5-7, and most of these can be used for the $3.50 Wednesday special (though we were only charged $3.24 for whatever reason.) I just wish the beers were better organized. I would love to see them separated by type of beer, to make it easier to find the kind of beer you are in the mood for.
The menu is all over the place, and reminiscent of something you would find at an Applebees or Chilis, but with better quality food. There are burgers, wraps, sandwiches, salads, fajitas, tacos, steaks and plenty more. I ordered the Chicken Bacon Wrap ($10.99) which was some chicken breast, bacon, lettuce and honey mustard in a wrap. The chicken wasn't dry or rubbery like you get at some chain restaurants, but the bacon was like those canned bacon chunks as opposed to a nice thick strip. The wrap itself was a good-sized portion and I was content with it. As a side I got the vegetable fried rice which was some rice cooked up with peppers, corn and some other veggies. It had a good heat to it, which only made me drink my beer faster.
The missus' got the Vegetarian Fajita ($9.99) and it came out on a massive plate. There was a huge helping of rice and veggies to stuff into the flour tortillas. She really enjoyed it, and had a ton of vegetables leftover for dinner the next night.
The Chili's across the way is going to be in trouble with Duckworth's now in direct competition. Why go to some huge chain for mediocre food when you can get slightly better food but waaaaaaaaaaay better beer? Next time we're in a last-minute pinch for a cheap meal Duckworth's will be the place to go.
