Overall, reviews for Au Vieux Duluth show a mix of solid value and flavorful dishes alongside occasional service hiccups and uneven execution, with many praising fast, courteous service and large portions, a few standout mains like Surf n Turf or steak and a pleasant atmosphere, and others warning about slow service, salty or bland flavors, missteps with orders, and a few rude interactions; the venue is described as clean and accommodating with BYOW and good desserts, and despite some disappointments, many would return.
Don't order from this restaurant the owner is very rude & hangs up the phone on you & & I'm gonna try to get him thrown out of the store because he has no politeness. I'll call the head office tomorrow & complain about him because he's not very not normal.
It was our favorite restaurant until the last few months. We use to go there once a month . I don't know if they change the chef cook or the management, but the service is now too lacking, as well as food qualities.The calamaries dish is now smaller & tasteless. The salad doesn't look fresh & fish also is tasteless. About the service, we have to wait over 30minutes to ask for parmesan or the next meal, the waitress has 3-4 tables to serve (for 2hours) but pass more than 20minutes talking with an acquaintance. For the tipping, I thought that the law ask to calculate on the subtotal (without the tps/tvq), but the 15 % was calculate on the total, which make it 17% instead. We don't mind to pay 17% but it should be indicating the right thing (17%)

I ordered the bakaliaro/cod with garlic mash/skordalia, which was their'special' for Greek Easter. & I wanted a Greek salad instead of house. I was served 3 small fish stick style cold cod fish, a literal scoop of mash like a school cafeteria, 5 pieces of pickled beets from a jar, & a side house salad with 3 pieces of the cheapest feta, 1 tasteless hard tomato, sliced in big chunks the green pepper sliced in big chunks with some seeds still attached, a few olives & cucumbers on top of the house salad & they charged me & additional $4.50 to replace the house salad for the special price of $37. Absolutely appalling!!!! Oh & my food was served cold. I ate because I was starving & with a big group. I should have sent it back & taken a picture. But hopefully I can stop another person from this cafeteria style meal! Brutal! Do not order, stick to their staples.
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).
