Kev SkinnyFebruary 20, 2015Get 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.
- Mike WinstonFebruary 20, 2015Everything 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
EaterJanuary 3, 2014Odd 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.
Thomas KnüwerMarch 24, 2017Farm 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!
Daniel BarnettJanuary 18, 2015Sit 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.
ChristinaDecember 21, 2016Really 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!
RaniaApril 10, 2019Go 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.
Tiffany PalusoApril 12, 2014Tater 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.
Terry ChenSeptember 19, 2014A 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!
Men's Health MagFebruary 4, 2015A 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
Ana Desivojevic SchweizerDecember 20, 2014So happy we finally tried Odd Duck- Barley's Swine brother. Amazing food and cocktails, amazing service. Everything what was recommended to us was WOW!
Katie BrownApril 15, 2019The menu changes often so you can’t always count on an old favorite, but the food is always great. Make reservations for the patio.
Justin MartinNovember 10, 2021Scallops 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!
Jessica CutrerMay 25, 2014Odd 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.
Mike Ottavi-BrannonFebruary 5, 2022The 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
Art CostelloMay 17, 2015This 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
Austin ChronicleFebruary 13, 2014This 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.
Sabrina MajeedOctober 23, 2015Food 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.
Lia KoutelouMarch 14, 2015Everything we tried was amazingly good and the service was absolutely awesome! Try the goat lasagna and the sweet potatoes, just two of my favorites!
Greg GordonJune 19, 2016Skip 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.
Amy LawderMarch 21, 2014Super awesome! Ate on the patio. Service was impeccable. Food was great and the drinks were also suberb! Highly recommend.
Kevin HarrisDecember 15, 2013All 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.
Nicole GerszbergDecember 30, 2020Each dish was a treat! Farm-fresh with many flavors. We especially loved the beets, ceviche with green curry and pork belly
Russell HirschornMarch 2, 2016Not 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.
- Kathryn YuMarch 23, 2011Get 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.
- AmateurConciergeJuly 11, 2019Farm to table casual American fare. Burger was excellent. Really liked the chicken taco salad as well
Jori BellJanuary 19, 2021Best all around dinner we had in Austin, and on par with amazing NYC restaurants we normally eat at 😍
Sam DDecember 11, 2021Farm to table amazingness, the kale beignets were a great way to kickoff this meal.
- Tiffany PalusoApril 12, 2014Ridiculously fantastic! We waited 10min for a server BUT they flee deemed themselves w/ 3 complimentary appetizers, top notch service & impeccable food. Devine! Must go!
Nada AlshamiAugust 15, 2017Don't be scared to try the Tamarind fish head.. very flavorful.. with the sushi fried rice.. yum
My wife are foodies. We eat in many great places. Odd duck is in the top 5. Everything is great!!
Jole PJanuary 29, 2016Such amazing food try the chefs prefix menu and you will be in heaven. The house made sodas are also op
Rachel WenzlerMarch 8, 2014Sit out on the patio so the sweet smells from the kitchen don't influence what you order. Dive in, it's all good here!
Travel ChannelMarch 5, 2012Chef 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.
Jason FryMarch 10, 2023Wonderful food and warm, friendly service. One of the more impressive meals I've had in some time.
B WNovember 26, 2014Amazing patio and amazing small plates. Good Moscow Mule on the happy hour menu (all day Sunday).- AbeApril 2, 2014Everything is amazing! Especially the carrots, sweet potato, pretzels, the rolls, brisket... Did I mention the pretzels?!
Israel OrtizJanuary 23, 2014Enjoy! Menu rotates, so trust your waitor with recommendations and share the small plates.
MarionApril 17, 2016Great service and deliciously unusual flavours, like pork belly with pecan jerk sauce and pickled strawberries.
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- vidya sagarJune 26, 2014Probably the best Margarita in town . Bartender Dave's recommendations are reliable and excellent . Very friendly and great to chat with .
Fernando CovasMay 11, 2014The 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.
- John RegoMarch 14, 2015Farm to table. They have a way of coaxing flavor out of everything. Portions are a little small for the price but very delicious.
