"You’ll never have the same experience twice at Odd Duck, an upbeat South Lamar institution that gives classic American dishes a Texas twang. From day to day, week to week, every item is subject to change, either because of seasonality (hell, they even have their own farm), the chefs’ whims, or how the wind’s blowing. Their gigantic burger, for example, might have fried beer cheese exploding out of the center or a soft-shell crab perched on top of the patty, which says a lot about how hearty (and delicious) the menu is no matter what’s on it. This is the kind of place you return to over and over. It’s as appropriate for an intimate date night as it is a celebratory group dinner." - matthew jacobs, nicolai mccrary
