Get one of everything. And buy the kitchen some beers . They deserve it. Loved the service and detailed description provided for each dish. Fish head was a knock out. Don't be scared of it.
Everything at this unique restaurant is absolutely incredible. Hard to go wrong, but don't miss the Pretzel , Lamb Sausage , Ceviche , and Goat Confit . Read all about my visit on WinstonWanders below! Read more
Odd Duck features a huge open kitchen and lots of homey touches like mismatched plates and country kitsch on the walls. Check out the chicken fried egg , kholrabi soup , and the whole roast chicken .
Farm to table is the concept and the kitchen truely delivers : we enjoyed every course. It's a tapas concept, so you should take more than 3 courses, but you won't regret it. Bummer: it's way too LOUD !
Sit at the bar and chat with Max about Austin. You'll enjoy a memorable meal with a friend, that you won't forget anytime soon. And get everything on the menu which changes daily.
Really enjoyed our meal here. We had the sourdough bread , kale salad , fried chicken , and short rib . All fresh and tasty! I also really loved the apple cream soda !
Go hungry and during happy hour . Everything we tried is amazing. The chocolate dessert was so good and light we ordered a second one and wiped it clean .
Tater tots a winner, pretzel !! a must have, the beans w/ LAMB bacon , hello! Brisket w/ sweet potato purée , OMG! Cookies youve never had in your life! I'm in heaven.
It's almost impossible to recommend 1 or 2 things here. Order *everything* (anything) and your taste buds will thank you. But if you have to choose ONE or TWO, get the Carrots & the Spiced Redfish .
A great farm-to-table restaurant that serves delicious food and drink. I enjoyed every dish; definitely get the lamb ribs if it's on the menu!
Expectations were sky-high for Bryce Gilmore's second restaurant , and Odd Duck has surpassed them from the magnificent large format dishes to the playful brunch pastries . [Eater 38 Member] Read more
A locavore’s paradise in downtown, Odd Duck invented one of our favorite all-time bites of food: grilled potato salad with chorizo , corn and roasted peppers . The patio scene is aces. Read more
The menu changes often so you can’t always count on an old favorite, but the food is always great. Make reservations for the patio .
So happy we finally tried Odd Duck- Barley's Swine brother. Amazing food and cocktails , amazing service. Everything what was recommended to us was WOW!
Scallops are a MUST, fried quail is a wonderful experience in texture diversity. The pork had too much gristle & wasn’t great, & all deserts rock. The specialty cocktails are top notch. A-score!
Odd Duck is a sweet new restaurant on South Lamar that does lunch , dinner , and as of today, brunch . My husband and I went and had the andouille sausage as well as the fried egg sandwich . Fabulous.
The cornbread and kale beignets were phenomenal. Scallops were delicious and savory with a bit of smokiness and the ceviche with chips was a refreshing twist
This is not a restaurant but a culinary experience!The flavors to savor are divine,the staff knows how to put it all together.The menu changes daily based on what local fresh ingredients are available
This shiny, ultramodern brick-and-mortar matches the adventurous, farm-to-table cuisine. The superlative wine , beer , and cocktail list harmonizes with the whims of Bryce Gilmore's daily changing menu .
Food was delicious, my favorites were the noodles and braised goat . Ryan was a great waiter ! Hostess who took our drink order was very awkward and told us she knew nothing about the wine we ordered.
Everything we tried was amazingly good and the service was absolutely awesome! Try the goat lasagna and the sweet potatoes , just two of my favorites!
Skip the host stand. They are offensive every time. I feel like their goal is to get you to go away. The food is tasty. The experience at the host stand is atrocious. They do not make me feel welcome.
Super awesome! Ate on the patio . Service was impeccable. Food was great and the drinks were also suberb! Highly recommend.
All of the meld are awesome. I recommend the pretzel filled@with ham . Cocktails left a lot to be desired. Drat Moscow Mule is good. Local beer selection is good too.
Each dish was a treat! Farm-fresh with many flavors. We especially loved the beets , ceviche with green curry and pork belly
Had the roasted carrot salad and the ceviche tostada . Would have ordered more since plates are small but kitchen closed! Highly recommended despite portion size
Not good for groups , if you are hungry, or if you dnt want to spend 100/person. Otherwise, the food is super delish and cocktails on point.
Farm to table casual American fare . Burger was excellent. Really liked the chicken taco salad as well
Best all around dinner we had in Austin, and on par with amazing NYC restaurants we normally eat at ????
Don't be scared to try the Tamarind fish head.. very flavorful.. with the sushi fried rice .. yum
Get the pork belly slider with sauerkraut and shaved turnips and aioli , goat cheese grits with a poached duck egg , or venison sausage with sweet potato salad , if they have them. Arrive early.
Ridiculously fantastic! We waited 10min for a server BUT they flee deemed themselves w/ 3 complimentary appetizers , top notch service & impeccable food. Devine! Must go!
My wife are foodies. We eat in many great places. Odd duck is in the top 5. Everything is great!!
Farm to table amazingness, the kale beignets were a great way to kickoff this meal.
Such amazing food try the chefs prefix menu and you will be in heaven. The house made sodas are also op
Sit out on the patio so the sweet smells from the kitchen don't influence what you order. Dive in, it's all good here!
Chef Bryce Gilmore owns the popular gastropub Barley Swine, but he got his start with a food truck called the Odd Duck. It still exists and sometimes he still mans the grill.
Wonderful food and warm, friendly service . One of the more impressive meals I've had in some time.
Fresh food , amazing flavors, friendly and accommodating wait staff .
Amazing patio and amazing small plates . Good Moscow Mule on the happy hour menu (all day Sunday).
Everything is amazing! Especially the carrots , sweet potato , pretzels , the rolls, brisket ... Did I mention the pretzels ?!
Enjoy! Menu rotates, so trust your waitor with recommendations and share the small plates .
Call ahead and have an allergy free or paleo menu ready... Or go through the menu with a waiter . They pride themselves on being allergen aware
Great service and deliciously unusual flavours, like pork belly with pecan jerk sauce and pickled strawberries .
Odd Duck offers separate menus based on food allergies and preferences: dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free, Celiac, Pescatarian and Vegetarian . Read more
Try everything on the menu! It cannot / will not disappoint.
The best old fashioned I've had in town . Hands down. Super smooth.
The hype doesn't do justice to the quality of the food, atmosphere, service, and ambiance. A memorable meal in a casual and well-priced restaurant .
Probably the best Margarita in town . Bartender Dave's recommendations are reliable and excellent . Very friendly and great to chat with .
This gourmet, small plates trailer is changing the way Austinites think about food trucks . The upscale truck changes its menu daily, so check their website. [Eater 38 Member] Read more
Go for happy hour. Gouda dumplings with pickled veggies are so tasty! Delicious drinks as well. Solid burger, but only get during happy hour - it's $10 v. $16. - Trasee
Pretty restaurant w/ a wonderful seasonal prix fixe menu. Simply gorgeous. - Nom Nom PR
Wow - one of the most amazing meals I’ve ever had! The chef tasting with wine pairing is phenomenal - Allison Niksich
The food trailer next door, Luke's Inside Out, offers a yummy selection of creative sandwiches & snacks. Try The Chicken, my favorite sandwich. - Mary Helen McNally
Delicious, just make sure you're ready for sweet and ready to dig in (ideally as a group). Any given order is 1,200-2,000 calories, easy. - Hari Raghavan
I loved the vast spectrum of sweet and savory flavors. The staff was very helpful and kind. Forget Amy's. - Logan Fountain
