Duckworth’s and other restaurants
Despite the pandemic, Duckworth continued to open new restaurants.
Earlier this year, Duckworth opened the third and largest Link & Pin at The Arboretum after opening a second location in fall 2020 in Huntersville.
Link & Pin serves a mix of scratch-made menu items from chicken and waffles, burgers and lobster roll for lunch to artisanal cheese and charcuterie appetizers, and steak and seafood for dinner.
Duckworth opened the first Duckworth’s Grill & Taphouse 18 years ago in Mooresville. Other Duckworth’s Grill locations are in Ballantyne, Huntersville, Rea Farms and uptown.
Six years ago, he opened The Cellar at Duckworth’s, a sports bar and speakeasy in the basement of his uptown restaurant.
