Au Vieux Duluth draws mixed feedback: several reviews highlight generous portions, good value, and solid dishes such as steak, seafood, authentic souvlaki, calamari gratin and the house salad, with BYOW noted and service that is often friendly or professional, while other experiences mention slow or inconsistent service, salty or bland flavors, and occasional order or side mix ups that are fixed quickly. The atmosphere is described as clean and pleasant, though seating can feel cramped during busy times, and a few encounters describe rude or inattentive staff or a disappointing experience that would discourage a return. Overall the restaurant is seen as a viable option with some standout dishes and reliable elements, but consistency and service quality vary across visits and some diners indicate they would not return.
Very rude staff. They were aggressive & impolite while I was simply trying to book with them & give them business. They even hung up on me for no reason at all. I would never go back.
Unbelievably rude personnel.
Tried to reserve on the phone, & was met with a very unprofessional rude person to say the least.
Would Not go there, if it was for free.
Shame on this behaviour.

Don't respect the menu that is valid across all Québec says two free refills no mention of fountain or can only says two free refills but here you pay for a drink & only get one saying the free refills is for fountain drink only
Je souhaite offrir tout mes compliments au chef pour les mets suivants : Authentique souvlaki, Manhattan steak , calmars frits, escargots gratinés & la salade maison. Tout est extrêmement délicieux.
Très mauvais service d'une vielle snob serveuse qui se prend pour ? Service le plus lent de toute ma vie. Nourriture très ordinaire & le service encore terrible. Allez ailleurs si vous pouvez.
Always a good place for good consistent food. Shrimps, steaks, chicken, All side dishes. Everything was very good. The restaurant (Marcel-Laurin) was very busy & our table of 13 was a bit cramped, but otherwise, good. Service was fast & (almost) acurrate: out of 13 people, a burger was missing the meat (!), & a few plates has mixed ups with side dishes. Everything was fixed promptly. Very yummy desserts too. The cost of the meals were very reasonable. We will return. (Not my photo, but meal looked the same).

The place is nice & clean, the service was good with a friendly staff. The food was bland & lacked flavour. You're cooking it, might as well make it tasty.
The service is good .The food is horibble the shrimps are over cook they were even chewy shell completely stuck on shrimps they gave a half garlic butter that was half full & I think was used before the salad vinegar spill ,the chicken brochette no seasoning dirty dirty restaurant .we have done over 30 Vieux Duluth we love greek food this restaurant is a real shame .
Pire Service à Vie & fils du propriétaire Tony âgé environ 37 ans qui se fou des clients!
Notre repas a commencé avec une serveuse âgé environ 65 ans cheveux blond au épaule (code 013) qui ne voulait pas être là & voulait partir donc le service a été bête!Nous somme arrivé à 19:00 donc la moitié de notre section était vide.Nous ont aime relaxé quand ont va au resto. Ont commande une entrée & plus tard le repas principal.Mais là , la serveuse n'a pas arrêté de mettre de la pression pour commander le plat principal.Tellement que je lui ai dit que lorsqu'on sera prêt je lui dirai . Mais elle est encore revenu nous mettre de la pression! Donc nous étions très insatisfait! Donc à la place de laisser 0$ pourboire j' ai laissé 1$ & là elle voulait m'obliger à donner 15 pourcent! Je lui ai dit non & expliqué pourquoi & là elle m'a donné des bêtises!! Le fils du patron Tony agé environ 37 ans est arrivé je lui ai expliqué la situation & à donné raison à la serveuse!!!! & il nous a dit de ne jamais revenir!!! De traiter les clients comme ça, c' est incroyable! & c'est sûrement pas la première fois qu' ils le font!
