    Fried Quail
    Angie Y.

    If you're a foodie who appreciates innovative, thoughtfully crafted food without the pretentiousness, Odd Duck is an absolute must. This farm-to-table gem does an incredible job of taking fresh, seasonal ingredients and turning them into dishes with unexpected flavor combinations you didn't know you needed in your life. Everything feels intentional; not overly fussy or "frilly," just creative, flavorful, and beautifully executed. We had the cast iron cornbread with grilled onion butter (a must-order), the fried quail, and what might honestly be one of the best restaurant desserts I've ever had: the icebox oatmeal cake. The house-made pickled seasonal vegetables were also incredible and added such a fun, fresh element to the meal. Service also notably added to the experience, everybody from the person who took our order to the ones who brought out the dishes were friendly, attentive, and incredibly knowledgeable. Our server gave great recommendations and clearly had experience dealing with first timers. Highly recommend ordering: The cast iron cornbread with grilled onion butter Fried quail House-made seasonal pickled vegetables The icebox oatmeal cake (seriously, don't skip dessert) They also have really fun cocktails and mocktails that pair perfectly with the food. The atmosphere is intimate and slightly moody, making it the perfect spot for an elevated date night, while the patio offers a more relaxed vibe with cozy string lights and a great outdoor feel. This was easily one of my favorite meals in Austin. Make a reservation ahead of time, and be sure to give yourself extra time for South Lamar traffic.. I'm telling you it's worth the trip.

    Odd Duck is a perfect setting for a nice (but not too upscale or too casual) dining experience! I came here with a few friends to celebrate my birthday, and loved all the little touches that made for a wonderful dinner. They printed "Happy birthday" on the menus they served us, which was so thoughtful. We shared 7 dishes amongst the 4 of us, and it was a good amount of food. I didn't care much for the braised goat pizza, but everything else ranged from pretty good to great, and my favorite dish was the cabbage pakora. I think this was my first time trying chicken heart, so that was a cool experience as well. I wouldn't say every dish was a 10/10, but I appreciated the variety and like that they have a rotating menu so I can try different things during different months/seasons. I don't remember which cocktails we ordered, but they were all solid. The service was wonderful, and I loved the sorbet champagne they gifted me for my birthday. Lovely ambience and interior. Would definitely come back!

    Sister restaurant to Barley Swine and Sour Duck, Odd Duck certainly is certainly not to be outdone by her siblings. A mix of fine dining and casual dining, Odd Duck boasts the delicacies of upper echelon cuisine while without its gaudiness. We had the grilled wagyu, pork belly chalupa, fried quail, cast iron cornbread, the ceviche, and the fettucine. Odd Duck delivered spectacularly and there were no misses that night. Standout dishes for me were the cornbread and the quail, definitely must-orders. Quail may seem unorthodox, but the sauce at the bottom fleshes out the taste in such a way that I found myself spooning the sauce after the quail was demolished. We went for a birthday and the service was fantastic, the atmosphere was perfect, and of course the food was spectacular.

    We came here to celebrate my best friend's birthday, and it ended up being one of the most memorable meals of the trip. What I loved most is how creative everything is. It's not your typical menu, but somehow every combination just works. I ordered the kimchi alfredo fettuccine with shrimp and pork sausage, and I won't lie, I didn't know what to expect. But it was so good. Rich, flavorful, slightly unexpected in the best way. As a table, we shared a few appetizers, and the standout for me was the cast iron cheddar cornbread with grilled onion butter. When I say I could've eaten three of those by myself, I mean it. It was warm, perfectly textured, and that butter melting into it... unreal. Of course we had to do dessert, and I tried both the strawberry profiterole and the oatmeal icebox cake. Both were incredible, but in completely different ways. Light, indulgent, balanced, everything you want to end a meal like this. The whole experience felt fun, elevated, and just different enough to make it special. Definitely a place you go for a celebration or when you want a meal you'll actually remember.

    We had great service and view, we were in the patio but ac and covered so we can see the city. Food was not basic, it was different but tasty. Ceviche, and cornbread were so good. We wouldve gotten a second cornbread if we werent so full. Mains we got pork chops and wagyu, so soft and tender. Drinks were strong so i needed the carbs. They were so great and wed go back. Valet is complimentary.

    Everything was amazing!! From the hostess to the bartender/server, to the drinks, the ambiance, the staff and of course the food!! We ordered everything that was recommended on the reviews and oh boy!! They were right. If you were to ask what my favorite was, it will be hands down the jalapeño cornbread. Recommend eating it while it's warm, it will melt in your mouth.

    Great dinner spot. Came here for dinner on a Monday night with my partner. We had a reservation so we got seated right away. The place was pretty busy even on a Monday evening so I'd recommend getting a reservation ahead of time. Started off the evening with their housemade Ginger Ale. The ginger flavor is quite strong so I waited for some of the ice to melt and even ended up adding some water to it. For dinner we shared the Redfish Ceviche, Beer Battered Romanesco Broccoli, Cast Iron Cheddar Cornbread, Pork Belly Chalupa, and Braised Goat Pizza. My personal favorite was the ceviche, the coconut lemongrass broth was delicious. My partner's fave was the cornbread, which was a very close second for me. The rest of the dishes were great as well. Glad we got to try this place!

    Corn bread
    Ruben C.

    10+ years in business. Do they still have it? Ten years ago today, 2/9, took my now wife on a date to Odd Duck. Was worried that, like with all restaurants, quality and service declines. We arrived and they greeted us and congratulated us on our anniversary and thanked us for returning. We sat at the bar and the server was such a cool, dude, who also congratulated us on our anniversary. To start, the restaurant gave us some bubbly which was great. We then ordered the Texas Pickles, the cast iron corn bread, pork belly chalupa and grilled wagyu eith tater tots. Everything came out as it was being cooked, all perfectly timed. The texas pickles were a variety of veggies, all pickled and all absolutely exquisite. Next up was the cast iron cornbread and Jesus F Christ, it was amazing! We demolished it. The pork belly chalupa was next and boy was it a treat. Loaded with pork belly, veggies and salsa, it was one to remember. Our final entree was the wagyu steak and tot. I don't even know what to say. It was just phenomenal and just melted in yiur mouth. The house made tots were unlike anything I've seen but so perfectly and deliciously crafted. Perfectly square crunchies with soft, pillowy inside. Whenwe thought we were done, to celebrate our anniversary, they brings us a strawberry ice cream dessert with olive oil croutons that was so good, it left me speechless. It was just magical and everyone should try it. All our servers were just such a joy to speak to them. All had great attitudes and eager to help. The staff made this evening even better. Still worth it? Absolutely. Possibly even better than 10 years ago. Impeccable food and impeccable staff.

    Easily one of my top three favorite farm-to-table restaurants in Austin. I always try to grab a seat at the bar or chef's counter because that's where the energy feels the best and you get a closer look at the care that goes into each dish. The menu is on the smaller side, but that only makes it feel more intentional. Every dish is thoughtfully executed, beautifully presented, and cooked with so much precision. I always order the espresso martini because it truly hits differently here, along with the chicken heart skewer, which is incredibly rich, tender, and full of flavor. From there, we usually add another appetizer and a protein entrée, whether it's steak or fish, and I honestly haven't had a bad dish yet. Everything is consistently cooked perfectly and feels unique enough to make the meal memorable every time. Overall, this is one of those restaurants that always feels special, whether you're stopping in for a casual dinner at the bar or celebrating something more meaningful.

    Food is amazing. Shareable portions and great ambiance. Ate by the bar and everyone is so friendly, service is great, would definitely come eat here again.

    We made reservations through Resy pretty seamlessly for a date night. Not sure if the parking was valet only, it seemed like they had so many cones around a fairly empty parking lot. We were able to find street parking easily As we walked in, we were greeted friendly and seated very fast. The vibes inside the restaurant is super nice with a diverse set of seating options available. The menu is variable and since it's a farm to table restaurant, the menu items will change by the season. The waitress suggested that for two people, 4 menu items would be sufficient, and that's what we got. The food quality and flavor are definitely above average, but we weren't absolutely blown away by the flavors, and the portions are rather small. Nice for a good casual date night. Happy hour seemed decent. Service was great

    Pork chop

    The Odd Duck impresses with creative dishes, strong execution, thoughtful and warm service (thank you John), and quite delicious (and balanced) cocktails. Recommend sitting at the chef's counter to watch the well-run kitchen at work. Redfish ceviche my wife and I both thought it was one of the best things we had eaten recently Pork Chop with fish caramel extremely creative dish with very strong depth of flavor. I loved it but my wife thought it a bit pungent Antelope Tataki nice and tender, meat forward, lacked the depth of flavor of the other dishes Carrot cake incredibly delicious and I don't even like carrot cake 5/5 would go out of my way to visit

    Strawberry shortcake
    Samantha H.

    We grabbed seats at the chef's counter, and it made the whole experience even better to be able to watch the team prepping and thoughtfully plate each dish. Of course we ordered the legendary cornbread, and it absolutely lived up to the hype: unbelievably moist, packed with flavor, and perfectly complimented by the green onion butter. The ceviche was bright and refreshing, with a hint of lemongrass that elevated every bite, and the broccoli was perfectly cooked with incredible texture and depth of flavor. The staff was warm, attentive, and paced the meal beautifully so nothing felt rushed. Even though we were completely stuffed, we couldn't skip the strawberry shortcake and I'm so glad we didn't. The whole restaurant had cozy, homey, comforting vibes that made us want to linger and come back again. I was recommended this place by multiple friends and it was absolutely delicious and the best experience!

The bartender claimed I was drunk and cut me off anyway. I was at the bar talking to a girl while waiting to get a drink (the wait was long because the service is very slow, despite the bar not being very busy at all). She was clearly into me, and the bartender kept jumping in trying to talk to her too (instead of doing his job making drinks). He was doing all sorts of things to try and flirt with her and make her laugh: pulling out and showing her buckets of pre mixed cocktails, running and sliding under the bar, etc. She was engaging with both of us , and right in the middle of that, I get cut off out of nowhere. No explanation other than claiming I looked drunk, which I very clearly wasn't. It felt very clear what was going on--he wanted me out of the way. I left and asked the bouncer on my way out if I seemed drunk. This was literally two minutes later. He said no, not at all, and asked me why I would even ask that. I then told him exactly what happened and asked him to let the owner or whoever was in charge know about this extremely unprofessional conduct so they can discipline the bartender. His response was that the bartender has discretion to cut anyone off, and let me know the bartender is supposedly married so he couldn't have been flirting with any of the customers. Well, sounds like his logic is flawed--not only COULD he flirt with his customers, he WAS, and was therefore cheating. I hope his wife finds out. This is perfectly representative of Austin customer service lately and not normal in other places. I was in Tampa for an entire month earlier this year and this would've been unthinkable there. I'm not coming back.

There's plenty of photo ops, jenga, corn hole, pool, foosball, connect four, pacman, and a few other arcade games. This place is completely filled with 80s, 90s, and early 2000s' nostalgia. It's the perfect spot of tourist and for native austinites. There also a lot of vintage signs from old stores and restaurants that were local to austin as well. I would say this spot is worth the hype! I also give bonus points for the shops & food trucks outside of the bar. The perfect place to hang out with friends and have some fun.

This is gonna be located on the fifth floor in the JW Marriott. You have to walk through the pool area as this is on the west side of the building. Well, we didn't have a reservation and we were able to get sat right away. I forget the name of the individual who assisted us by placing our order. I ended up getting the espresso martini, and then my other person got an old-fashioned. I was asked if I wanted a shot of Bailey's with the espresso martini and that to me would've been way too much. The martini itself was almost kind of smoky. Not your typical kind of very crisp espresso martini had a nice foam on top of it. We also ended up ordering the sliders to go along as we had dinner reservations, and that bacon jam on there is magnificent. The sliders were all juicy and very well put together bun was very soft and the flavor of everything was really good. I would totally go back just for the sliders. Overall the service was great. The views were also quite stunning of downtown and the ambience overall which is very chill. The front part of the bar was actually closed due to a private event so I can imagine getting to take photos on that corner would be really pretty to see.

    My friends and I had a FABULOUS time here. The ambiance is beautiful and so cozy! Without a res on…read morea Friday evening (around 6:30/7) we were able to get a nice, big cabana area. The couches were so comfortable and the ambiance was so pretty. In terms of the drinks and food, it was okay! Got the job done, but nothing to rave about. I enjoyed the sliders the most. I enjoyed my drink as well (5th Floor Cooldown) once we added the extra sweetener we requested. Without it, I wasn't a huge fan (wasn't sweet, despite being told that it was). Valet parking is only $15 (for 2 hours) with validation. I appreciated that, as it made parking not a headache.
