Creative New American small plates with global influences and Texas twang
"An eccentric small plates joint drawing inspiration from Korean, Vietnamese, and various Middle Eastern cuisines." - Sharan Kuganesan, Oset Babür-Winter
"This New Texan restaurant and Eater Award–winning restaurant appears on the Bib Gourmand list." - H. Drew Blackburn
"Odd Duck on South Lamar has the whole “as it comes” small-plate timing down to a science, with a pacing that never feels rushed, making it a fantastic place to linger and celebrate the passing of time and your own mortality with an exceptional cocktail or three. With a casual but upbeat vibe, a constantly evolving menu of creative riffs on Texas cuisine, and some of the most cheerful service staff in town, Odd Duck is equally perfect for two at the bar, or for a group willing to play a game of table-Tetris. Reservations aren’t that hard to come by, but do plan in advance for primetime hours." - nicolai mccrary, raphael brion
"There’s a distinct Texas twang to Odd Duck. It’s wood smoke, fire, chiles, game, and Gulf Coast seafood, with a menu that riffs on classic Texan dishes like tamales, cornbread, green chili pork shoulder, and icebox cake. The menu at this upbeat, semi-casual restaurant gets revamped at a rapid-fire pace. From day to day, week to week, every dish is subject to change, either because of seasonality (hell, they even have their own farm), the chefs’ whims, or how the wind’s blowing. It’s the kind of place you go back to over and over again, and it never gets old." - arden shore, team infatuation
"A creative small-plates restaurant offering globally inspired flavors and shareable dishes designed for exploratory, communal dining." - Elaine Glusac
