McDuff's Potsdam Reviews
A great place to stop for pub food in Potsdam.
Good food and service! Leah was very prompt with drinks and food.
Amazing experience! Food was all fantastic. We got truffle fries, a few burgers, and pizzas. Fast and friendly service! Highly recommend!!!
First time at McDuffs and it was great! Bartender was amazing and so were the drinks and food.
Me and my friends visited from Canada, and this place quickly became our favourite! The food and service is simply a great experience!
Everything absolutely amazing , bartender kept us all fed and hydrated 🤘 great place to stop in have a drink an a set of wings
My father and I went to the pub around lunch time. The place was very quiet. Since the place was quiet, our server, Jaedyn was able to take our order near immediately after sitting down. I had ordered boneless wings with Guinness BBQ sauce, they were absolutely amazing. Overall I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this place to anyone who’s in the area
While living in Potsdam for the summer, I've checked out McDuff's a few times - for Stanley Cup hockey and weekly Wing Night. I've enjoyed every visit and can recommend them to you! A very clean and friendly village tavern overall. I can now expect cheery and friendly service from the bar, especially Brittany. The wings are very good and I have liked every sauce I have had. Coming from Western NY, I am a bit of a wing snob, and I have not been disappointed. The homemade blue cheese is tasty. They tend to serve it room temp, which I am not a fan of, but it isn't necessarily bad. Stop in and have some beer and wings! No better combination.
Great spot to hang out. The food is great and so is the service and atmosphere. If you like Margaritas, then you definitely have to try the blackberry one. By far the best Margaritas in the area.
our server Leah was absolutely amazing and so nice loved her. love the atmosphere of the bar as well good vibes all around. the food was spectacular on top of everything too! overall great experience! :D
I really enjoyed trivia night, which happens thursdays at 7:00pm. I would recommend getting there early for trivia, though, as I arrived 15 minutes early and there was only one table left. I ordered the pickle chips and they were quite good! I got a cocktail and it was tasty, and the servers/bartenders were very nice. Looking forward to going again.
wonderful corner pub full of history i remember from my college daze in the 1980s. very recently renovated under new ownership, the food is excellent! open for lunch on weekends, now, which is my sweet spot. cheers to McDuff's 1986 in 2025! pic: Bartender Moody makes 4 leaf clover in Guinness head 😋
I walked in and immediately loved the environment. Their winter menu is on the smaller side, but their Signature Pizza made up for it. The spicy maple syrup on top of a freshly sliced pepperoni pizza was to die for. The Caesar Salad was okay. The dressing was a little heavy on the anchovy, though. Maeve was an absolute joy to interact with. All around a wonderful experience!
The kitchen is open again and the best poutine in Potsdam can be had for $10.79! Friday happy hour is the place to be for a good cold drink from Elijah, hot meal, and a round or three of darts with good friends. The college crowd starts drifting in around 9, just as the kitchen closes, so plan accordingly.
I went to visit my bf in NY, we went down twice, once for St. Patricks Day night fun. Which let me tell you was an awesome time. Such fun atmosphere and the locals are friendly looking to have a good time. Staff is super friendly and know how to make a drink. There was live music that night. Lots of fun. The second visit, the place was much quieter, staff still on point, we tried the bangers and mash, we had not had this dish before, it was delicious, we were both happy and full when we left.
Very good food and nice menu. Took awhile for food to come out but worth the wait.
Have only been twice, but each time the staff have been so warm and welcoming. Great service and good food!!
Continuing my journey through Potsdam eateries after watching Clarkson Women’s hockey, stopped at McDuff’s for the first time. Place is kind of oddly laid out. Didn’t really have the cozy Irish pub vibe. More sports bar. Waitress seemed to on her own with a decent sized crowd which slowed service some. The Buffalo Chicken Poutine app was huge and had a very unique flavor. It had a bit of a kick to it, so if you don’t like hot (spicy) food you may want to pass on this one. I enjoyed my signature Reuben, however the fries weren’t good. Kind of soggy. Grease might need to be changed. They have a few televisions on the wall with various sporting events on and a couple of electric dart boards.
if you're a young girl, i'd stay away. the "bouncer" shannon that works here wasted no time making my party uncomfortable with weird sex comments and wouldn't stop staring.
Absolutely awful experience start to finish. Waitress looked high out of her mind and couldn't get the order right, meals came out as appetizers, burgers were undercooked (essentially raw when ordered well done, pic for reference), the beer cheese that came with the pretzel looked like baby vomit and tasted even worse, all that and a tab over $100 with no compensation for all the screw-ups. Never coming back here, don't let the good reviews fool you!!
