Support the independent voice of Dallas and help keep the future of Dallas Observer free.
These folks, at least, love the catfish and hush puppies at the Duck Inn in Lake Dallas; then again, the joint has been around since World War II was still raging, so, yeah, it's probably not so bad. (Says the family that's owned it since the joint was nothing more than a three-bedroom house: "The Duck Inn's devoted clientele travels from all over the country for the incomparable catfish and famous hush puppies.") So, guess what: It can be all yours, for the low, low price of $639,500.
Only, be sure to have your negotiatin' shoes on: Says the site: "The secret recipes are still owned by the Howard family, and can be negotiated with the sale." Sounds like without them recipes, the Duck Inn is little more than an old three-bedroom house near Willow Grove Park. Come to think of it, that sounds nice too. --Robert Wilonsky
Keep the Dallas Observer Free... Since we started the Dallas Observer, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Dallas, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Dallas with no paywalls.
