"Got a chance to try several different options on their menu and although everything was pretty good there was definitely a few things that stood out. For starters, that smash burger was absolutely excellent and would alone bring me back. The duck burger on the other hand was pretty good but in comparison just couldn’t outdo the beef in my opinion. The smoked chicken was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend. Waffle fries were solid although very crunchy if that’s not really your thing. Caesar salad was top notch and a welcome of some greens with all the meat! We also tried the pork chop and pork bellly both were excellent. The only real miss was the grilled oysters, definitely skip those and go for the classic. Overall an excellent spot with a nice vibe and great service!"

"What a brunch gem! From the moment you walk in, you can tell this place takes pride in what they do. The Duck burger and loaded hash browns were outstanding - you can taste the quality of the locally-sourced ingredients in every component. They work with several farms in the area and it really shows in the freshness and flavor of everything. Service was excellent throughout our meal; our server was friendly, knowledgeable, and had great timing. The atmosphere hits that sweet spot of being polished but not stuffy. It's the kind of place where you can have a business lunch or celebrate an anniversary and feel equally comfortable, (or bring a semi feral toddler to run laps around the patio). Highly recommend!"

"I arrived for dinner at 8:15 and the restaurant closes at 9:00 so I was thankful Black Duck was able to seat our party of 5 (my wife and three kids) Overall, I enjoyed this restaurant. The food was fantastic, but I was a little disappointed with the level of service at a fairly expensive restaurant. I know restaurants make money on alcohol and my wife ordered a glass of wine, but I stuck with water. I think he may have given me a dirty and disappointed look for not ordering alcohol. Oh well. As I type this review, it’s 9:34 and our family is the only patrons left in this restaurant. Okay, our server totally forgot about us. Anyhow, great food, but don’t expect top notch service. Pretty disappointed with really crappy service. I would highly recommend the food, but unfortunately I will not be back here because of spending $175 with bad service. ••I am adding a followup to my review after going home. My wife and oldest son agree with my review of bad service. After receiving our meal, the server never came back to check on us to see if everything was okay- which it was, but it would have been kind to ask. At 9:35 pm, the bartender actually came to ask about boxes for leftovers. We coincidentally had dinner on Black Duck’s one year anniversary. Yay to them. I just hope your experience is different than mine because the food is fantastic, but the bad service ruined it for me."

"Drinks were phenomenal, food was delicious, service was great. Would rec the chef's bar side seat. Definitely will be back."

"Came here for brunch, and it was pretty great. We got the chicken fried steak and eggs, a biscuit with house made jam and the stuffed hash browns special. The service was very good and the patio was beautiful and spacious. Street parking was also plentiful."
