“ PSA: THEY DO NOT DO TAKE OUT. They have another outlet not too far away, be sure to go there if you intend to do takeout. Outstanding poutine, amazing vanilla milkshake with REAL vanilla. Super flavourful and aromatic. Highly recommended ”

“ Bring in the DUCK! Duckfat is awesome! our friends took us here on our way north because they remembered it being so delicious and it didn’t disappoint! A recent review mentions some fried being soggy… I have to admit some of our batch was… and I’m not sure if that’s intended or not and what to expect from “Belgian Style Fries” the only way I can associate it and relate is if you ever had boardwalk fries down the shore, where they par cook and fry the potatoes and sometimes the oils just cold enough it doesn’t crisp up but not too old were the grease seeps in… it’s like that. But either way we devoured our basket and weren’t just hungry! They were great! and well seasoned! (Some crispy too so maybe we were hustling unlucky; or maybe that’s how it’s served!) we had a nice server who was attentive and the food runner was great too. We really appreciated their attentiveness to a food allergy we had in our group. You don’t always see that level of seriousness which we truly appreciated! Sauces were great! We also enjoyed some duck which was cooked to perfection. I had a sandwich with the tomatillo and it blew me away. For my first time in Portland I’m glad we waited to try this place. Our friends knew their stuff and they too were happy it was good as they remember! We sat outside which was also nice. You could tell they really cared about their service and their place. I recommend trying the old style root beer! Oh and the donut holes! you can’t miss those! Absolutely divine! Perfectly fried outside with the hot steaming pillowy inside! 10/10. Coffee was great too! I love they also are openly inclusive! There’s love and food for everyone! You won’t be disappointed if you go to Duckfat and it’s worth the wait! ”

“ About five years ago, we visited Duckfat for the first time. To be honest, I don’t quite remember which sandwiches we ate or which beers we drank. What we do remember, though, are the fries. The Belgian-style fries were magical—delectable, crunchy, and unforgettable. We even brought home T-shirts and told anyone who would listen about this fantastic spot in Portland, insisting they had to try the fries. Fast forward to today. This time, my memory is much clearer about the food we ate, the service we received, and the exact beers we enjoyed. And then there were the fries. They weren’t bad—worse, they were ordinary. No different from fries you’d get at any place serving burgers. They were common, underwhelming, and about as far from crunchy as could be. We weren’t angry, and they certainly weren’t terrible, but they also weren’t what we had come to expect based on our first visit. The service was still excellent, and the food and beer were great. But the fries—the item they’re so proud of—felt like just a shadow of their former glory. ”

“ This place is the talk of the town. Especially for people who are visiting Portland for a few days or so, you must visit this place. They don't take reservations. The food here hits the sweet spot for me. One of the best fries I have had. And I would recommend getting their flight of sauces along with the fries. Even the ketchup they serve with it is elevated with truffle oil. We ordered a cream of tomato soup, a wild blueberry milkshake and a brisket sandwich as well. Absolutely loved the soup. The milkshake was thick but felt very light on the stomach. And the sandwich was decent. It's a small cozy place with indoor and outdoor dining. The staff here is very friendly, polite and you will always see them smiling. ”

“ Cozy little place. Place was slammed but the staff were amazingly friendly. Poutine and cubano were melt in your mouth. Washed down with a shake that wasn’t heavy but perfectly tasty. Don’t pass this place up if you’ve got the chance. ”
