Duck Inn Again — Restaurant in Lake Dallas

Atmosphere - very small space with big tables so it felt crowded with only about 10-12 patrons inside. Service - our server was very very nice but did not know much about the food prep. I asked about the potato salad and all she had to say was she'd had no complaints (😆 being day 1, I guess that was true). Food - was not bad and has potential once they all get in the groove of things. I was disappointed that baked potatoes aren't served until 5pm and I didnt recall seeing that on the menu. The potato salad was bland and potatoes slightly undercooked; most of the potatoes in mine were too firm. The fish is good but would have been much better if they had been fried about 2-3 minutes longer. They steamed on the plate so the crispness was lost to the very lightly fried crust. The coleslaw tasted good but overdressed so it was goopy. The best thing .. the hushpuppies that are supposed to come with the meal, but we had to ask for them. And no sweet tea. 😒 This is Texas. Sweet tea is a must. We may go back once they've had a chance to practice the food prep because they do need that opportunity. I guess in remembrance of the Duck Inn years ago, we were somewhat...

I stopped at Duck Inn Again to see what all the fuss was about and was absolutely blown away! It definitely meets the hype and tastes like the original if not better, who thought that was possible? The fried catfish was perfectly crispy and seasoned just right, the hushpuppies were golden and delicious just how I remember, and the pea salad was fresh and full of flavor. Everything was just like home cooking should be. The service was excellent, friendly, fast, and welcoming from start to finish. You can really tell they care about their customers. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for great food and great people but most importantly, fried catfish. It's hard to find quality fried catfish these days but there's a spot Again 😉 in Lake Dallas. Can't...

My wife and I had been anxiously awaiting the opening of Duck Inn Again. We have wonderful memories of the original Duck Inn as children. Unfortunately, when we visited on Friday, October 24, 2025, we were terribly disappointed. The first thing that caught my attention was the high cost and small portions of the catfish filet's, baked potato, salad, and coleslaw. Another disappointment was the excessive charge for the hush puppies. We often eat at Hucks Catfish in Denison, Texas and found that Duck Inn was about 30% to 35% more expensive for comparable items. The hush puppies, catfish, and salad dressing was very good as we remembered. Lastly, we felt we were being hurried to vacate our table due to people...
