These 4sq tipsters just ooze pretension and entitlement. Duckling is what it is: a VERY good craft beer bar with a limited food menu. Killer burger and thin sliced fries. Welcome addition to Smith St.
Anastasia BelozertsevaAugust 26, 2017Fantastic local gastropub! Wide range of beers on tap (rosé cider is a good choice for a summer day), delicious food, and lovely ambience. They play premier league games! And, the service is great!- New ownership. Service and menu both continue to improve. Draught rotation has much more local focus nowadays. Duckling has even turned itself into a nice little sports bar on game days.
Awesome beer and food selection! They have serious beer variety with 30 taps, including their own specialty Ugly Duckling draft. And the food is fantastic -- highly recommend the chicken and waffles!
Billy Strawter JrOctober 18, 2015Chicken and Waffles. The omlette may say brisket, but it does not come with brisket. They will make an accommodation and add brisket if you ask. Made a beermosa special for us midwestern folks.
Andrew GordonNovember 24, 2014Don't follow the pretentious reviews. It's a great bar to begin your night, end your night, whatever. Had their steak and would say it's one of the best steaks I've had from a non steakhouse.
Andrea MartinezJuly 27, 2014Amazing food!!! Order the ugly dukling burger; it is to died for. Finally we have a great place to hangout in this neighborhood
LOTS of beers on tap, live music on the weekends, all the games. Richie will take care of you.
Melody GambinoAugust 22, 2014Chicken and Waffles heaven, plus fantastic beer selection. The scallop tostada and poutine are also must haves.
Best Vegetarian Pasta I've had in many years. It's a great new spot and I hope it stays.
Zucchini RoseJuly 31, 2017Very tasty shrimp & grits, chicken and waffles disappointing. Nice staff, good beer selection on tap.
Fernando EscuderoJuly 31, 2016The burger was good and tasty. And our server Dennis was super friendly and very welcoming.
Connie ChiuSeptember 13, 2014Good beer selection. Beignets are good! Ugly duckling burger was only okay. Love the decor and big open store front.
Daniel McDonoughJuly 12, 2014The Ugly Duckling Burger is good. If you don't like your burger pink order it medium well. Medium is just a touch too rare.
- Like any good sports bar, very accommodating on the TVs for the game your looking for.
Joe MontesJune 23, 2019Got the chicken and waffles for brunch and they were pretty good, but way overpriced. The brunch options were average. Service was awful. The lost our order and were not apologetic at all.
Gregory PAugust 24, 2014suburban, airport bar, haphazard, chain restaurant, disappointing, polo shirts: all good words to describe this joint.
- Emma JacobsonJuly 13, 2014Thoroughly mediocre. Underwhelming food, haphazard beer list, derivative decor, overpriced. It feels like a chain restaurant's take on Brooklyn. With so many better options on Smith, don't go here.
Chris HardinJanuary 21, 2016Very long wait for both service and food at brunch and not much (if any!) apology.
