Odd Duck Austin Reviews
Odd Duck Austin, at the Chef’s Counter: A Night of Personal, Palate-Driven Play.
From the moment you sidle into Odd Duck and slide into the chef’s counter, the meal feels less like a dinner and more like an edible conversation with the kitchen. The kitchen’s intimate choreography—flame, fork, and ferocious curiosity—sets

While in Austin for a few days, I decided to check out The Odd Duck, proudly holding a Bib Gourmand since 2024. Their menu is built around local farm ingredients, changing with the seasons and you can truly taste the freshness in every bite. The res

The corn bread is so yummy! We placed our order and it didn't include the corn bread, but the table across from us ordered it and it smelled so wonderful, we added our order! It is like dessert! My daughter and I shared an assortment of dishes
One of the best in Austin!
We have eaten here many times. We always return. Why? Because it is one of the best in Austin. The service is excellent. The food is amazing!! We haven’t found any place here or in the DFW metroplex that compares! You will not be disappointed. Even
This is such a fun and fabulous place to eat.
We sat at the chef's counter and it was enjoyable watching their meticulous preparations for every bite leaving the kitchen. True artistry. Every staff member was so attentive from the valet, hostess, server and kitchen staff. We even had a s

We met with a friend to enjoy some bites at Odd Duck, happily surprised that valet parking is free (tip-based). Our waiter was beyond accommodating to our needs. When my fiancé told her his dietary needs, she returned with the seasonal menu marked u

Like so many well-known Austin eateries, Odd Duck had its humble beginnings as a food truck. They publish yearly the Odd Duck Almanac which features recipes and stories from chefs and oddly enough the odd duck community. The friendly host led me
Meh, expensive ok food.
Burger and the cornbread was the only hit, others were hyped up small portion with high prices for no reason.

We got 4 items from the happy hour menu and 4 items from the regular menu. To my surprise that even the sweet cornbread is spicy for my 5 year old. Not too crazy spicy for me but I def taste the kick even as a grown up let alone my 5 year old. Even t

Definitely a place to visit for happy hour and it's ok to repeat since their menu is seasonal. Some of the dishes from the night were the melon salad, goat pizza, cornbread, and tres leches. The cornbread was the best thing there, and apparently
Amazing 10/10 all around.
Food was delicious! We ordered the Blackened Redfish, Thai salad, and cornbread. Every dish was perfect,, that blackened fish is a MUST HAVE! Service was amazing. Our waitress, Missy, was so kind and patient with all our questions. I could sense a st
Always a solid upscale food spot.
Complementary parking is a plus. Interior design is sleek and inviting. Service and drinks are awesome.
Good food but they are heavily overpriced for the amount
Good food but they are heavily overpriced for the amount that you get. This is a good option for a date night, I do not see myself going there again because of the small amount of food for the price.
The BEST Palomas.
... Need I say more ? Everything here is always fantastic. We had a lot of incredible dishes but the chocolate masa cake that was next level AMAZING (I'm still dreaming of this cake). Can't say more great things about Odd Duck but I love th

Wow! What delicious food, outstanding service, and a wonderful atmosphere. The wagyu burger was excellent.
Odd Duck never fails to impress.
If it's your first time dining here, I encourage you to just trust your server to guide you through the evening. Even if you think you might not like something on the menu the way it's described you'll be blown away if you just try som

Best restaurant in Austin, consistently
We eat at Odd Duck a few times a year; they occasionally miss the mark with a dish or two, but generally over 2-3 visits a year for the past 5 years, they are consistent, with delicious food and friendly service, at prices that we feel good about, fo
Farm to table done right
Amazing farm to table restaurant with rotating menu based on seasonal ingredients. You can’t go wrong with the pork chop and ceviche but the real star was the cast iron corn bread. Drinks on great as well, highly recommend
Good food, annoyed service
I was excited to bring my partner after loving my experience a few years ago. The food was excellent, as remembered. The service was not. The bartender was extremely curt and seemed annoyed by basic questions about things. The pacing of our food was
Batting for a high average after all these years.
I’ve been dining here since it opened. The consistency and creativity are simply amazing, especially considering the context of the wanna be Austin restaurant scene where inconsistency, disappointment and large tabs without large satsifaction are
Hungry? Plan to eat before or after you visit this place
I finally figured it out. On this second (and, dear Lord, I hope it's the last) visit to Odd Duck I realized that this place is some kind of running joke where people test out whether their dining companions are going to play along with the &qu

We went there for an early dinner and for the new happy hour prices. The cornbread was so good! We also had the salmon and the quail. The flavors of both were amazing however the portions rather small for the price. Good service and love the setting
First visit - Loved it
Excellent dining experience. We opted for the bar and were provided great service by Joe. We had the chicken hearts, head-on shrimp, quail, and redfish. Favorite was the shrimp for sure but all were very tasty. They also have a selection of uniqu

Our server, Robert, really set the tone for the evening.
He was witty and friendly and our group had a blast interacting with him. We tried 7 different dishes and a dessert and literally every single one was delicious. Our table was in awe of the watermelon chalupa, cornbread, wagyu burger, pizza, and Thai
Fine dining flavors in a casual atmosphere.
Sign me up every time. Everything is locally sourced and fresh which means the menu item may not stay long so if you have the chance to go.... Try everything! Although I loved everything my favorite was the crawfish ravioli and corn bread.

One of the best restaurants I've ever been to.
Every bite was pleasant and full of flavor. The service was impeccable and overall this is an amazing place to hang out with a group or on a date.
Everything we had here was fantastic.
We sat at the chef's counter which had a great vibe and great views. Drinks were great- good selection including wine, we enjoyed a crémant de loire. The cornbread was easily the best cornbread we've ever had (split it so you don't fill up on just t

First time here. Louder, mostly bar, seating. Small menu consisting of about 12-15 items all family style. Cocktails were excellent. Wine by the glass was nice. Service was good. All the food was excellent to amazing other than the Pork Chop To

This was where me and my husband had our first date in Austin, so we love taking visitors and celebrating special events here. We sat on the covered patio which I was relieved was well air-conditioned. Our server was friendly and funny, and was helpf
Amazing place! The ceviche was fabulous.
Loved the chichi tones on the salad, though the sweet potato ravioli was good too. Corn ribs were fantastic. Definitely coming back for more!
Excellent Group Dinner
We had a family dinner at the Odd Duck for our daughter’s birthday. For groups of 7 or more (we had 9) they serve a fixed menu family style. The farm-to-table food was excellent and varied. Service was also top notch. Everything went like clock
Great food. Very casual joint.
Such good food. Loads of flavour and nothing on the menu was short of excellent. The venue is super casual and loud with a cool vibe. But not at all upscale. You could probably roll in here on your way home from the gym. So if you’re wanting to h
Great dining experience
The pork shoulder mole dish was one of the best restaurant dishes I’ve had in a very long time. The cornbread was delicious too. Cool vibe, great service. High praise for the financier dessert too. Enjoyed the meal!

Go!
The first night we went to Odd Duck, we sat at the Chef's bar and it was great. I am a veggie but my friends is not. We had a fab wait staff and well a great night. The second time (we went back) we sat in much the same place and the food was fin
A MUST visit when in Austin!
Is this the best meal I have ever eaten? I’m saying yes. We went to the Odd Duck in September 2023, on our honeymoon trip across the US, and honestly the food was out of this world. We sat up by the bar as we booked quite last minute, this was such
Simply AMAZING!
Like an original farm-to-table, or how great food is supposed to be. Had a superb meal of 4 menu items - grilled summer squash, cast iron cheddar cornbread, kimchi butter, capellini pasta (with corn butter, árbol chile mushrooms, TX cheddar), Wagyu

AppointmentTrader is a community-driven platform where users can exchange their reservations or leverage their personal relationships with Odd Duck Austin. Buyers can make informed decisions using automated seller ratings, which reflect past transactions and reliability.
Each posting on AppointmentTrader shows you which user submitted it and along with that provides a trackrecord of that user which indicates how much experience

If there is no user posting that fits your schedule, you can bid on your preferred time.
Let's say Peter has a great morning and decides to take his three friends to Odd Duck Austin at 6 PM the same day.
He checks the restaurant's website and sees that no reservations are available. He then looks at the Odd Duck Austin page on AppointmentTrader, but finds that there are no user postings either.
That's where the community-driven bid process comes in.
Peter can place a bid on AppointmentTrader, which serves as a reward for any community member who chooses to work on securing the reservation. AT then notifies experienced users who may be able to help.
Step-by-Step Process
1.) Setting a Reward (Bid)
* AppointmentTrader uses historical data to recommend a reasonable reward amount for securing a reservation - let's say $100.
* Peter really wants to go, so he increases the bid (or reward) to $200.
* At this stage, the reservation does not exist yet.
2.) A Community User Picks Up the Bid
* MaternalRecord73, an experienced AT user, has a strong track record of successfully securing reservations and low refund requests, they receive a notification about Peter's $200 bid.
* MaternalRecord73 picks up the bid, meaning they will now work on securing the reservation.
* Peter can now talk to MaternalRecord73 for any questions Peter may have as MaternalRecord73 user fills the bid.
3.) Finding the Reservation
* MaternalRecord73 now uses their connections at Odd Duck Austin to secure the table.
* If they successfully get the 6 PM table for four, Peter receives a confirmation that the reservation has been secured.
* If MaternalRecord73 fails to secure the reservation, the bid is returned to the pool so another user can try.
4.) Payment & Protection
* Once the reservation is secured, MaternalRecord73 receives the $200 reward which is credited to MaternalRecord73's AT balance, where users manage their own funds and can withdraw via available payout options such as bank transfer, PayPal, or Zelle.
* Peter can now enjoy the dinner with his friends at Odd Duck Austin!
* As with all transactions on AT, disputes and no-show fees are handled through the platform's community-driven resolution system. Users with a strong track record are incentivized to fulfill bids successfully, and community members can report issues to maintain trust in the marketplace.
