I ordered a veggie Enchilada and Chile Relleno! It was outstanding! Hubby ordered his standard BLT served with steak fries and he said it was great. Service was awesome, and manager visited our table! We will go back!!!

Sunny day on a beautiful tree-shaded deck overlooking town...priceless! Carne Asade Tacos were fabulous, although sorry to say the Winthrop red wine..not so much. Friend had a burger that was 'just okay'...serves him right for ordering American in a Mexican restaurant!

thank you so much, jacque, for taking the time to provide a review. we take all feedback seriously and strive to reverse the negativity associated with this landmark from the past several years before the new ownership began in 2012. there's no prettier place to eat in winthrop, we agree! part of the overhaul of the restaurant was to find...

We did not stay at the hotel, we only ate at their restaurant, twice for dinner in our three days in Winthrop. We had Mexican food both times which was great. The waiters / waitresses we had were courteous and helpful. Would eat here again.

hi ed w, thanks so much for your kind words. the menu itself needs revising as the descriptions (and the many errors) do not do justice to the food nor the high quality of the meals. though the duck has many mexican items on the menu, there's something tasty and fresh for everyone, including seafood, pastas, vegetarian (and many items...

The rooms were small, no music system, no TV, no fridge…it's like Sharia law had hit Winthrop! The Mexican cooks had bought this place and it had changed dramatically since our last stay. The rooms had increased from $69 to $85 and the food has gone downhill…they even screwed up a salad and the breakfasts had been under the heat... More

our experience: the owner did indeed address this particular guest, but not in the manner claimed above. upon arrival, the guest asked, then demanded, to check in at 10:30am and was very annoyed when he was told he could not do so due to other guests occupying the room and also because the policy states check-in is at 3pm. the...

Heard this place was under new ownership so was up to giving it another try! The bed was hard as a rock, no TV although there was a shelf and cable hook up in room. Everything was just "used up" - I know it is supposed to be the ambiance of an old hotel, but this was bad. I think... More

We were here last week and still like the Duck Brand. I think the menu leans a little south of the border, but the food is tasty and came out fairly quickly. The waitstaff was spotty with service but were all friendly. The rooms are rustic but clean and they inexpensive too, and I like that combination.

The short version........poor food, ONLY bottled beer available ("Draft beer didn't work out for us. It ain't that kind of place"), and terrible, slow service. We should have known it might be a problem when we realized there were only two other customers for lunch. We had lunch here during a previous visit to Winthrop a couple of years ago,... More

We stayed for one night, a family of five. Got a huge room that accomodated all five easily, including a roll out bed. Room has rustic design, with high wooden ceilings. We found the room clean and comfortable. There is no TV, but we considered this a plus. We ate both dinner and breakfast at the restaurant, they have a... More

We have eaten here other trips a few years ago for dinner only. Back then, it was still the old-west style inside with antiques, low lighting, dark wood, etc. We understood this place now has new ownership, management and we saw that the inside had been remodeled. The remodeling is fresher, lighter and opens it up a bit. But, it... More

My wife and I visit Winthrop for a week at least once a year, from Kelowna BC. We stay at Sun Mountain Lodge, and often drive down to the town for breakfast or lunch, at the Duck Brand Inn. We've been doing this for years, and have always been delighted with the place. Excellent Mexican food served piping hot will... More
