I used to come here all the time and everyone has always been really cool but tonight things took a turn for the worst. We sat outside and wanted to close the window because the amps from the band were very loud that we couldn't hear each other talk. The owner, who was very intoxicated, came outside and was very aggressive and screaming, accusing us of trying to break the window. Will bring my business where it's appreciated. read more

If the glitter of Delray's Atlantic Avenue or Boca's Mizner Park is not your scene, or you just need a break from them, you may want to waddle over to The Duck Tavern for a very earthy change of pace. The mixed crowd is laid back, the staff is friendly, the beer selection is plentiful and the kitchen cranks out a surprisingly wide variety of very decent, unpretentious grub. Head to the bar to place your order. They'll find you when it's ready. The haystack, a shaved rib-eye with mozzarella, tomato and horseradish is a tasty, if not lavish, sub that hits the spot. There's also a wide-range of 1/2 lb. burgers priced between $6.95 and $8.95 that should satisfy most hamburger cravings. Salads, pizzas, wings, quesadillas and hot dogs also liven up the very reasonably priced menu. I didn't see or hear it during Happy Hour, where most drinks are 2 for 1, but The Duck reportedly cranks out some great live music during the evenings on a regular basis. A YELP check-in will also get you 20% off your bill, although not during Happy Hour or other specials. The Duck attracts a loyal neighborhood crowd that had the small place fairly full at 7pm Wednesday night. Several TV's tuned to sports ring the room. You will find your share of smokers, although the doors were wide open and it wasn't a problem at all this cool night. So, if you want to head down to Federal Hwy, just a bit north of Yamato, you may find the very casual scene here just ducky. read more

honestly, kind of creepy. the waitress was so nice, but i wouldn't come back because the overall atmosphere made me uncomfortable. the place was old and just like your average pub-restaurant, and the people were also creepy. the calamari tasted like they came out of a package and so did the mozzarella sticks; they made my stomach hurt afterwards. the pizza was good, i recommend, just the crust was a bit burnt in some parts. they had darts which i saw some people enjoy as well as other games. bathrooms were scary too and it seemed like it wasn't made to be one, but whatever. read more

Since the Duck is not near my 'hood it was off my radar screen. Boy I am glad that some friends took us there on a Friday night to hear Scott and his band. Keep yelling out your favorite song and the band could play it and play it well. Everything from Southern rock to Pearl Jam. No pressure to buy drinks and a friendly crowd that starts out older('40s and '50s) but gets younger('20s) as it gets later. Just a fun place to have a good time and escape the Boca scene. I deducted a star because of the cigarette smoke. Will return read more

Always a great last stop of the night. People are friendly bartenders are in the weeds constantly but manage the chaos well. They will get to you you've just got to be patient. Food was pretty good, nothing to rave about but bar food. read more

I love this bar.Lilly , all the bartenders and the owners are the coolest people .they make everyone feel at home and welcomed. Anyone who has a problem with them can blame themselves. The workers do not kiss everyone's butt when they are spoken to disrespectful, and rightfully So. The customer is not always right especially when alcohol is involved. read more

Serving...Rotten freezer burnt chicken wings, was refused by a customer, the elderly man explained to the arrogant barmaid and half witted cook, numerous times that food was rotten and the dead part were pulled off the chicken wings after thawing out in the open then deep fried...after 8 times of being told he was wrong he called the barmaid stupid, only then did she understand that he wasn't going to be paying for the I'll fated food...he payed for his drink and left being told never to comeback because he refused to eat the rotten door...this place was cited 5 times with health violation just last Feb. Beware of the dirty filthy kitchen food can cause you to be sick...all staff also do not where any masks...yuk dump...Avoid this scummy classless dump. read more

Went here for lunch with my finance on her 1 hour lunch break. There was no wait and only 1 other couple in there. Without bashing them I'll just be simple about the experience: The service was really slow (took 60+ min to have lunch as their only customers), the food was decent "bar food". I had a Gyro which had kinda dry/crusty meat, and instead of traditional gyro cucumber sauce that the server told me it would have, it was obviously just sour cream with a little bit of cucumbers cut up in it. The wifey had a salad which was good. The atmosphere was ok. All the doors were open air and the other couple was smoking. So not a great place if you don't like eating second hand smoke for lunch. The big surprise was (the 10 min long process) when we were paying the bill; They didn't know about the Yelp check in special for 20% off the meal. The manager (or owner) didn't even know it was on there saying "I thought that expired". I'll stress that they DID honor it and I was grateful. I'd consider going back there only if I'm in that area for some drinks and catching a game, but not as a meal and certainly not on a business lunch break. read more

This place is conveniently located on the corner off of federal. We walked in doors open and cigarette smoking inside. Not a fan of that. They had great happy hour deals! We had two beers and its was less than 5 bucks . Unfortunately, the service was terrible. There was one bartender who just complained about everything and everyone! I was going to order food and she mocked me. Someone else order a beer and she called them names once they left. It was just on and on. So we left. Terrible. read more

1/5/2020 Awful service, Bartender was rude and unapologetic when our pick up order was 30 mins late

Decent neighborhood bar. +: friendly bartenders, great beer selection. - smoking is allowed. read more

Not a bad place to head in for a beer. The staff is extremely friendly which makes for a nice atmosphere. There is a TouchTunes jukebox in there with wifi capabilities so you can play songs on it right from your phone. The tap list is great, offering many local beers as well as the usuals. I only had the appetizers when they but I can tell you that the chicken strips were great! I wouldn't come here for a full dinner though, this is more of a "meet the guys for a round or two and watch the game" type of place. I recommend trying it! read more

I really love the duck and have been coming here for years. Unfortunately my last experience was really bad. There's been talks of a bartender being rude and uncomfortable with customers. I've always avoided her because I didn't want to ruin a good time but last night Lisa said some really rude comments to me that felt out of no where and unnecessary. I was so uncomfortable that I left. Again we love this place but when you're out trying to have a good time with friends that last thing you need is for a bartender to be nasty. I didn't want to give the duck a bad rating because of one bartender but I did want to bring this to attention. read more

We were really excited to check this place out. Its close to us, and always packed when we drive by. But we walked in and apparently its a smoke friendly bar.....i didnt even know places were allowed to have indoor smoking these days. Needless to say, it was unpleasant so we left. read more

Horrible service, dirty, lousy food, please save your time and money, and avoid this place like the plague. It used to be a nice place, but it has gone downhill fast... read more

Local former dive bar without table service, but bartenders are attentive, and this is the locals' spot if you're into live music on weekends and a good crowd. read more

Come to this sports bar awesome place great burger stop and see Alana the bar tender she is great gal lots of fun

Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. This place is wow. How nive to be here. Good food. Wow. Wow. Ill be back

This bar is way toooo smokey. Don't care to eat thru a smokey haze. Had jalapeño poppers which were average and served with a sweet chili sauce which does not go with poppers. Ordered a Chicago Italian beef sandwich which they should be embarrassed to name it that. Take it from this Chicago girl this isn't even in the ballpark of a Chicago Italian beef sand which. Also what they call gardinera isn't gardinera. It was pickled vinegar vegetables. A gardinera from Chicago is packed in oil not vinegar. Please change the name of your sand which or just stop serving it it's embarrassing to Chicago. I do not recommend eating here. Also there's no table service. read more

I was looking to find a place to order some good wings for the football game last night. I had heard that The Duck Tavern had good wings. When ordering, I gave instructions that I want them extra crispy with the sauces on the side. When I got home all of the sauces were spilt in the bottom of the container, the wings were not crispy at all and were tasteless. I had to throw them out I couldn't even finish them. I hate to write a bad review but they were disappointing. read more

This is a great neighborhood bar that when people ask me how to describe the Duck I tell them it is just like cheers. The Duck has a Great crowd of people of all ages, great specials and amazing bar food. On Thursday-Saturday they have live music and like others have stated they have a huge beer selection. I have never had a bad experience at the Duck and continue to keep going back. They have dart boards and on Wednesday and Saturday they host All-In Free Poker. Hope to see you all there! read more

The Duck Tavern is a staple in Boca, a local fixture. With it's expanded menu, it's literally impossible not to find something up your alley. And don't even get me started on the drink selection. Well over 100 beers available, and a healthy selection of ice cold favorites on tap, any beer drinker will be quacking, and a fully stocked bar will keep the rest of your crew quenched. The superb quality of the food is surprising for a bar, and you'll notice lots of regulars stopping in to take food home. Yes, it's THAT good. The new wings are a homerun, and the chicken tenders are the best we've had, maybe ever. No, ever. They're the best we've ever had. In fact, I've worked up a thirst & healthy appetite just talking about it. See you at the Duck. read more

Love this place! Yeah, the food is your averaga Pub Grub, but the staff is awesome...especially Loretta! They also have great bands like "The Duck Band"...who know every song ever written! And now a new rockin' band called The Adequates! The drink prices are great, the crowd is a good local mix and it is really a friendly vibe. I am becoming a regular! read more

Been coming here almost 10 years my favorite bar in the area by far always have great specials everyday an oddly impressive food menu and specials for a dive/locals/neighborhood bar even though anyone is welcomed also have almost 200 different beers to choose from if you are a beer snob it's happy hour as I type this just come in and see for yourself oh ya you can rip cigs in here too BUY ME A DRINK! read more

Super cool place! Great food, reasonable prices, good service, and amazing music. Alaina, Hillary, and lily are awesome! So are the other bartenders and the patrons as well. Great atmosphere with creative people. Duck, duck, silly goose! read more

Good hangout for locals, great if you want to watch Sunday football. Regular bar offerings, but did offer empanadas which were very good. Our server was also the bartender and she was attentive and helpful during our visit. read more

Great food and great deals but it stinks like smoke. You can sit outside the french doors but then you're sitting on a noisy parking lot. Still, the mahi mahi sandwich was excellent! read more

Great place with a laid back vibe and tons of beer from around the world! Complete the 100 beers around the world and get your name on a brick in the wall. I think thats pretty cool and their beers aren't heavily priced. Go around happy hour and sure enough you'll get drunk -- watch out for Boca cops tho, they sometimes wait just outside. This bar seems to be quite eventful as well. I've run into bachelorette parties, bday parties, poker games, and a plethora of other interesting stuff here. read more

Nice little hole in the wall, that has live Music on some nights. Great place to get out for a little while and relax. 4 Stars!!!

Stopped in for lunch. Elena was terrific. Great service. She really takes great care of her patrons. Lots of locals in the bar. All friendly! Food was amazing. I had the Lobster roll, my husband had fish and chips. I would definitely recommend this spot! It's a hidden treasure. read more

Good place to hang and drink. The bartenders are all pretty cool. They've upped their beer selection which is good. Don't come here late at night if you don't like cigarette smoke. I don't mind though. read more

This is a small place. Sometimes small places are the most fun. Everyone here is laid back. Good type of people and crowd. No fakes. Good choice of drinks. read more

WARNING! THIS IS AN ALL-SMOKING BAR! There may be food, but that's incidental. We like dive bars, but should have known when the sign outside said "smoking allowed". We don't smoke, and don't like the smell of cigarette smoke, but we figured how bad could it be. Real bad! The ash trays on every (dirty) table were filled with butts. We got some menus from the bar (no servers that we could see). But after a few minutes, the smoke was just too much. Perhaps the food is great, but we'll never know. read more

The Duck Tavern was okay. Bartender was nice and helpful. Wings and beer specials on Wednesday pretty good deal but by the time you pay for the extra not much of a special. read more

Great happy hour! surprising good food for a bar.I'm a none smoker with the doors open not bad.but if you can't take the smoke it's not the place for you.still I love the people and the place read more

DO NOT GO! LET ALONE GIVE THEM YOUR CARD TO HOLD!!! I went for their wing night told the bartender Brian i was going to pay cash. When we cashed out and tipped him cash not only did we not get a receipt but my card was charged the total amount plus he took the liberty of adding his own tip!!!! Save yourself the frustration! read more

Great place. Burgers are excellent. Sweet potato fries are great. Beer selection is extensive for the size if the bar. Staff was awesome only had to say the order once despite the noise. Would definitely go again. read more
