    Excellent food with lots of flavor. Great place to meet up for a drink and dinner. Prices are reasonable. The locations is great. And there is a decent amount of room inside. Definitely worth checking out.

    We are glad to finally make it to The Mad Duck. Such a casual spot for lunch and beer. Chris provided excellent service and made sure we felt welcomed. They have a great beer selection and the food is so good! The fried pickles are a must! We look forward adding The Mad Duck to our favorite list. They will also have a st. Patrick’s Day food menu from 3/11-3/17.

    Good food and beers. good service. Very nice atmosphere. Best turkey burger I've ever had for those turkey burger lovers. However I highly recommend the steakhouse burger!

    I have come here twice within the past month and a half and have been impressed with the service. Today, when I visited, the table at the booth I was going to sit at had what looked like animal hair on it, and when I asked for it to be cleaned, it was cleaned right away. The food was delicious, though the tater tots have been cold each time I visited.

    Always great food, great beer, and mixed drinks. Service is great, never have had to wait, food is served timely, and they refill drinks! Portion sizes of food are large, not large enough that I’d want to share, but I can’t ever finish all the food served. The pretzel in the picture was really good.

    Perfect day to sit outside and enjoy the weather. Service was great food even better. Tater tots were super salty. When I told my server she made it right.

    "The establishment offers fast service and serves delicious food, making it an ideal spot for casual gatherings on a Friday night. However, it may not be the best choice for a romantic date due to its more casual atmosphere. The space was uncared for and lacked cleanliness, the bathrooms were in much need of attention. Malachi provided excellent service by attentively checking on tables, but unfortunately, the other servers displayed rudeness and lacked adequate menu and drink knowledge."

    Amazing! Large selection of modern bar food, great drink selection and fantastic service. If we lived nearby we'd be here at least once a week.

    The Gilboy was honestly the best burger I've ever had! My husband loved his burger too. I got the tots and he got the curly fries... Both were good. Service was on point... Seriously-go here! Yumm

    First time getting the pulled pork sliders and they’re delicious! The baguette is perfect for this cold weather! I would definitely recommend this place! The drinks, food, and ambience are amazing!

    The food here is alright, it’s good, but nothing out of the ordinary. It’s a nice place to go that accommodates picky eaters as the menu is quite simple, with a good amount of variety. We came when it was quite busy and our server was wonderful, but busy. I had the beet salad and have had the burgers before, it was all good. I would come again for a simple meal with friends.

    Decent food. Cool idea having their own beer. The bartender should not be a waitress as well. Between socializing at the bar and maintaining customers around it, stood for a very long wait time even during slow hours

  • 5/5 Adam R. 11 months ago on Google
    Well worth the small wait. Food is great. Got the poke lettuce wraps sweet potato fries and a apple blue salad. Yumm!

  • 5/5 Pax 4. 1 year ago on Google
    I really don't know what to say. This place has figured it out. Food is terrific, the drinks are top notch, service is always excellent, place is always immaculate. I just like the vibe of this establishment. Will always keep on my hot list of places to go.

    Great food, but very crowded, had to wait awhile to be seated or even acknowledged. Then got seated at a high -stool table with my elderly mother. We were offered to wait for a booth but we didn't have time. Then had to flag down the waitress multiple times for a refill, the check, to pay...it was disappointing service but the food was worth it, so good 👍 😋 I had the Gilroy burger with broccoli salad and my mom loves their fish and chips.

    Our family loves the OG Mad Duck and we go about once every two weeks for a little family outting. The food is always on point and very satisfying. My husband loves that they use their own beer to fry the fish in for the fish & chips meal. He said he really tastes the ale, and that is hard to find. My son and I usually get burgers, which never disappoint. They have amazing white meat turkey patties to sub for ground beef, if you're like me and can't eat beef. My youngest daughter is in love with their curly fries and, I would say, we always leave there with smiles on our faces.

  • 3/5 Robin K. 1 year ago on Google
    This location is much more a bar than a restaurant. The majority of the tables are 4 top bar tables with bar stools with backs. They do have 4 - 6 booths along the wall. The service was mediocre at best. Food tasted great as it does at all locations. This location is in a strip mall and very small. It would be a great place to go have drinks after work but not a great place for groups or families.

    I always get the chicken or steak salad. Sometimes the beef is tough but you can't go wrong with the chicken. They even let you substitute grilled for breaded. Delicious. Can get packed at night but they also have outdoor seating.
