DuckTales Kitchen

DuckTales Kitchen opened in Sept. 2009, since then I have eaten there many many times both for lunch and dinner. I must say its been a long time coming to have a restaurant like this in Vancouver, WA. The atmosphere is quaint, family oriented (they have a kids menu) and just all around FUN !

The servers are excellent and are not pushy, they let you relax and enjoy your meal. This is a must for lunch and dinner. Oh by the way they have a cake of the week as well as, FRESH apple pie can you say YUMMY.

Steven and Jane have a homerun here.

We have experienced Duck Tales Kitchen 5 times since the opening and each visit has been excellent. The food has always been prepared and presented perfectly, the service has been excellent, and the atmosphere is relaxed. Steve and Jane Waddle have opened a winner here and once you visit you will be hooked.

We came upon the Ducktale Kitchen on the third day they were open very much by accident. The place was so new, the menus were still sheets of paper stapled together! But aaaaaaaahhhhh! The food was as though someone in the kitchen has been at it for years! The lobster bisque and brocolli/cheese soups were fantastic as was the salmon and chicken cordon entrees! This is definitely casual dining with an up-scale menu and presentation! Vancouver, it would be very much worth your while to visit this restaurant!!

Went for dinner at DuckTales Kitchen last Friday and to my surprise they now have Prime Rib on FRIDAY evenings. This is a 10oz portion cooked the way I wanted it. Served with a baked potato and all the trimmings, vegetable, salad or soup all for $15.95 WOW !!!

The prime rib was cooked to perfection really tender and flavorful. I love baked potatoes so I was very happy they had them, seasonal vegetables were also perfectly done – not over cooked like you may find in other restaurants.

For dessert I had the upside down gingerbread pear cake, served warm with fresh caramel sauce and a scoop of ice cream – YUMMY!

I was told that they will be opening for breakfast starting Dec. 4th on Saturday and Sunday morning’s from 9am – 3pm. If the lunch and dinners are any indication of how the breakfast will be, I know I will be a frequent customer since you can’t get a REALLY good breakfast any where in Vancouver. Steven the owner is from the Waddle family, I’m sure he knows how to do breakfast and do it right!

My wife and I dine out a lot, since my business is investing in restaurant companies. Ducktales has captured us a frequent guests for many reasons, ranging from the enthusiastic greetings, prompt seating, creative and tasty food, quick and attentive service and terrific value. We’d recommend Ducktales to any diner wanting a first-class dining experience at very affordable prices.

My wife and I have been to your restaurant twice now and both times elated. Last year we spent our Valentines Day (same friends as last night) at Mortons in Portland and yours was better. The salsa, salmon cakes (WOW), Mahi Mahi, Chicken Oscar everything was just great. Will be back soon and I am spreading the word. And, what’s best is your are located in Vancouver.

At last a restaurant with great food—the best I have eaten in years—and all that at a reasonable price! This is the best food in the pacific Northwest. The chef, Jason, is the best there is. The salmon is to die for. Jason cooks veggies to perfection. The chicken Cordon Bleu is the exquisite. The chocolate pie has REAL whipped cream! Wow. Go now for dinner while you can still get a seat—it will soon be reservations or w…ait and wait— Jane and Steve have a winner here. No wonder! Steve’s father owned Waddles! He knows how a restaurant should be! We go about once a week! Can’t wait til next time!

Having read the two 5 star reviews on Menuism, I decided to give Duck Tales Kitchen a try. The short version is – the other reviewers were right. Here’s my review.

Duck Tales Kitchen is a small restaurant in a strip mall. When I walked in I was immediately impressed by the artwork on the walls and the general overall nice decor. You would not feel out of place either dressed up or casually attired. I was also impressed by the number of customers. It was around 12:30 and the place was packed. There are booths, tables, and a bar. I opted for the booth after a short wait.

I will offer only good impressions here – there just weren’t any bad ones. The menu was well thought out, the food was prepared perfectly, the quality ingredients reflected the overall philosophy of the owners, and the price was below what you would expect to pay for that level of quality. The owners were on premises, not only overseeing the help but cleaning tables and taking food orders too – always a good sign. Not to say the staff was incompetent – they weren’t – it was just a busy lunch rush. My waitress was there with menu suggestions, my food, and refills whenever I needed it.

Overall, I’d say this is one of those few places that gets everything right. Hard work and dedication from the owners on down make the DuckTales Kitchen a place I’ll definitely be going back to try.

Well, so much for my diet! You would never know this restaurant was there tucked away on the corner fo Devine & MacArthur (kind of behind the unenjoyment office). But wow! They had two of my favorite dishes on the menu and I had them both – Chicken Fetuccina Alfredo for dinner and chocolate Mousse for dessert – both exceeded anything I’ve had anywhere (and I lived in San Francisco, CA for several years!). It’s about time “The Couv” had a restaurant where you can go and be relaxed but still get fine food at a fair price. The owners treat everyone like friends coming to their house for dinner – what a treat!
