Odd Duck had been on my list for a while since I’d gotten great feedback from friends that it was one of the best restaurants in Austin. Finally got to try it this weekend and it did not disappoint! Everything we ordered was delicious. Love that the menu changes every month based on what’s available locally. Portion size and prices were very fair and the service was great! Reservations are required. I will definitely be back!
This was an incredibly fun and memorable dining experience. The food completely lived up to the excitement and went far beyond expectations. You can immediately tell that the chefs truly care about flavor and take pride in every dish they prepare. Each bite was thoughtfully seasoned and beautifully cooked. While everything we tried was excellent, the grilled chicken hearts were the real surprise—they were outstanding and unlike anything I’ve had before. It’s refreshing to find a place that delivers genuine quality rather than just hype. I’d happily return and recommend it to anyone looking for bold flavors and a great overall experience.
Found this spot via the Michelin Guide and went by myself and sat at the bar (did make rsvp). Was helped by Terrance who helped narrow down my choices and that man did not steer me wrong. The Antelope Tataki will live in my head rent free. The Fried Quail was pleasantly spicy which was rather surprising but exceptional. For dessert I had the oatmeal something (don’t remember) and their scoop of the day; if you’ve ever had an It’s It, the combo tasted like a luxury It’s it. Would HIGHLY recommend this spot.
Cocktails were perfect. Food was FANTASTIC. The chef balanced all the flavors perfectly and the sauces were all perfect. No other phrase except it works and everything was delicious! All the wait staff smiled and joked and shared the knowledge expertly. Excellent experience overall.
We had an incredible time here. The cast iron cheddar cornbread was the perfect sweet-and-salty starter—even better with the butter.The fried quail was a total standout: perfectly crisp, juicy, and the apple chutney was a genius pairing. We also loved the baked tofu, which was surprisingly flavorful and a must-try. The vibe was great, but the friendly, awesome staff really made the night special. We’ll definitely be back!
