| - I have been hearing about Duckworths for quite some time so my wife and I decided to give it a shot. We were not disappointed.
The place is a little on the small side, just one aisle of booths and tables. There is also a seperate small bar area at the front of the space. Several TV's. Not big on the atmosphere. The only saving grace in this area is the outside seating.
The food is decent. We split a full cheesesteak, and the blue cheese chips. Not the greatest cheesesteak but not bad at all. A good value for the price.
The waitstaff is pretty good, they seem to be on top of things. Checked in on us often, made sure we had everything that we needed, and weren't too pushy.
Duckworths is a beer-centric place with a great beer menu. They currently have 20 beers on tap, and are constantly rotating their tap list to keep it interesting. Another thing that I really like is that they know how to serve their beer, in the correct glassware, at the right temperature. They are not serving Natty lite in a frosted mug. They have a very good list of bottles available too. They have great specials too Mon & Wed is $2.50 local (N.C.) drafts, Tues & Thurs is $2.50 all drafts, Fri, Sat & Sun they pick 2 or 3 draft to be $2.50.
I understand that they are in the process of moving into a larger space on Park Rd. I believe they said they should be operational by the end of May. I am told they will have 60 beers on tap, and 3 casks
All in all a great place for a beer fan, a family, or just someone looking for a decent meal at a reasonable price.

UPDATE
Duckworths has recently opened their new location on Park Rd. and it is terrific. The place is much larger and more up to date than the previous location.
The service is as good as ever and now they have 60 taps with some great craft beers and a cask engine. Really the premier spot for craft beer in the Charlotte area.
I am really impressed, I am usually there at least once a week and have never had a bad experience.
