Odd Duck

“The couple next to us was cleaning every plate!!! That’s when we knew we were about to be wowed! We ordered the cheddar cornbread and the onion butter had us wanting to eat every crumb. Next we had the summer salad and the antelope tataki. Both were equally unique and mouthwatering! We finished with the braised goat pizza and this is cooked in a wood fire oven and is absolutely amazing! My advice order everything!”

“Our dinner last night was a flawless progression of bold flavors and local ingredients, all tied together by top-tier service. ​To Start, ​we kicked off with a perfectly balanced Old Fashioned...not too sweet, perfect. Then, an adventurous spread of appetizers: ​Chicken Hearts: Tender, smoky, and expertly seasoned. ​Ceviche: Bright, acidic, and incredibly fresh, acting as the perfect palate cleanser. ​Antelope: A standout dish that showcased the kitchen’s skill with wilder, leaner proteins. ​The Main Event ​For the entrees, we went with two heavy hitters: ​Wagyu Burger: Rich, juicy, and elevated by a bun that holds up to the decadence of the meat. ​Redfish: Flaky and perfectly prepared. ​Vibe & Service ​The atmosphere was exactly what you want from a South Lamar staple: Energetic, unpretentious, and "good shit" all around. ​A shoutout to our server, Emma. She was fantastic—knowledgeable, attentive, and made the EXPERIENCE seamless. If a local or just passing through, Odd Duck is a must-visit. We’ll be back. Don't skip the skillet cornbread... legendary!”

“I loved this place! We came here to celebrate a friend’s birthday with the tasting menu, and it was such a great experience. The service was amazing, the food was superb, and we genuinely had a wonderful time. The patio was beautiful and had such a relaxed atmosphere—it was easy to have conversations and really enjoy the evening. Everything felt fresh and thoughtfully prepared. You can tell they truly care about the quality of their ingredients and the intention behind each dish. One of my fav Austin restaurants so far.”

“Food is really good. Main portions are a little small, but the food is meant to share so 4-6 dishes for two people is optimal. We loved the dishes we ordered. Our server was wonderful and very knowledgeable and attentive. He checked in on us often and gave very good food recommendations. The whole experience was pretty great and we can’t wait to go back!”

“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!”
