- JJenniferVIPGrand Rapids / Western Michigan •16 reviews5.0Dined on Oct 19, 2024We sincerely enjoyed our dinner at the MidwayDuckInn! The staff was friendly from the moment we walked in. Our server went the extra mile to make sure our date night was fun and tasty. We enjoyed our drinks and were happy to see the adaptogen options for those of us who do not drink alcohol. We loved the fritters in both the pumpkin and regular corn flavors. Even took some home as they were beyond delicious. Lake Superior Whitefish was so tasty. Had mashed potatoes and carrots too. So yummy! My husband tried the fried chicken and it was hot, fresh and cooked to perfection. We will definitely be back!More infoMidway Duck InnPrice: Moderate• American• Peoria City•4.8
