   Blue Duck was very good. Nothing was mind-blowing, but it was very good and we will be back. It was crowded and noisy but our portion sizes were just right and the value was great. I also love that it's BYOB.

   The menu offers multiple choices as well as daily specials ... all cooked to order, great presentation and delicious. Appetizers also delicious. It is a BYOB so you don't end up spending a fortune on drinks. Staff friendly, service excellent and it is in the neighborhood, so you don't have to travel far for a great lunch, dinner or a Sunday brunch. Reservations recommended because they do fill up and we've been disappointed when we arrived without a reservation and couldn't get a table.

   I went there for lunch with someone from my church and there was explicit music playing pretty loud in the background.

   Fantastic experience as always! We have been here for lunch and dinner and cannot wait to try brunch. All time favorites are the Quack and Cheese and the Pork Roll Burger. My boyfriend usually will get the taco special of the night as well which have always been a hit! Definitely give this place a try for eating in or take out.

    Nice, casual option for good food. Burgers and duck fries were both way under seasoned and salt was not available on the table. I would go back but wasn't wow'd.

    Met a friend for dinner and had a FABULOUS meal at the Blue Duck (as always). The specials were all so mouth-watering it was difficult to decide what to get! I ended up trying their butternut squash soup, which was so good! My friend agreed that it "tasted like fall" and was the best butternut squash soup either of us has ever had. I went with an old favorite, the fried chicken platter, a generous helping of chicken with delicious home-made mac and cheese. The service was impeccable. We will be back soon for sure.

    Food was great! Duck fries to die for !!!! Wing with the blue moon real good! I had the fried chicken which was well made. I would ask for all dark meat next time. The white piece was very dry. My husband had the tacos . He said they where very good would have liked the fish chopped. It was falling out all over. Where coming back!!!👍🏻

    I heard great reviews about this restasurant and it did not disappoint. In fact, it is one of the best restaurants I have ever been to. The flavor combinations are incredible. The ingredients are of the highest quality. The service was perfect, they anticipated anything we needed before we asked. I can't say enough great things about this restaurant. I'm only disappointed in myself for not getting there sooner.

    We are from New Jersey so this was a little bit of a drive from us, but it had great reviews so we had to try it out! We were not disappointed! The crab risotto was AMAZING for our appetizer! For our entree we both got the porkroll burger, that was pretty incredible too! They were busy which is always a good sign! Loved the nice/ casual atmosphere! We took our two year old and it was a great setting! Plus you can see the cook line from the table and our son loved it! Definitely reccomend going here for dinner !

    What can I say about blue duck? This place is just fantastic. My wife and I eat here quite often. It's close to our house but even if we lived an hour away we would find a way to get to blue duck on a regular basis. The standard menu is great but they always have interesting and appealing specials. Service is always great and management is always very attentive. We try to get all of our friends and family to blue duck. Most are now regulars.

    If I were a Food Network chef, this restaurant would be my entry for the show "The Best Thing I Ever Ate". I've been twice, both experiences included incredibly polite and helpful staff, mind-blowing specials, and friendly chefs. Can't say enough good things about the food, also it is BYOB which ends up making for a very cheap meal since you don't run up a tab on drinks.

    Ran out of a few entrées. Waffle was gummy like from the microwave.Creamed dried beef was too salty and soaked into the waffle fries,more like a sauce than an entrée. Coffee was bitter.

    My reservations was for 6:00 PM...My guest and I arrived at 5:45. The hostess immediately noted that we were 15 minutes early and that our table was not available. Looking around the restaurant I see two tables marked "reserved". At exactly 6:00 PM I approached the hostess and asked if our table was ready. She pointed to a table that was occupied by four people and she told me that as soon as they were finished, we could be seated. I responsed to her by stating that I had made a reservation for 6:00 PM and that my table should be available and that I should not have to wait for other customers to finish. I asked to speak to the manager. The manager informed me that since the restaurant is a BYOB, they have no control on how long customers will stay in the restaurant. I asked why then, were there two other tables labeled "reserved" and yet my table was NOT reserved. My response was a shoulder shrug. We waited to be seated until 6:25 PM and had to stand at the door while people were coming in and out. The hostess did, however, ask if my guest and I would like something to drink and advised us that we could sit outside while we waited. (It was 98 degrees that day). Once seated, the table that occupied the four guests was split into two and my guest and I sat extremely close to another couple and could hear their conversation as well as all the noise throughout the restaurant. This occasion was a surprise birthday dinner which turned out to be a disaster. The food was ok but surely not worth the money spent. Three (half-dollar size) scallops as an entree for $23.00? A duck breast which consisted of four pieces approximately four inches long which half of the thickness was skin which could not be eaten. Not once did we get an apology nor were we offered any complimentary drink or dessert for our trouble. I will never recommend this restaurant to anyone!!!

    Awesome place! It's tiny and loud inside so we opted to sit outside (basically just on the sidewalk), but food was so great we didn't really mind. Duck Fries were incredible!! Would go back just for them.

    The food has been great both times I have been but the service is exactly the opposite. I figured I would try again this time because I enjoyed the food but I don't think I will be returning. This is a small restaurant so it is shocking each time we have visited that the water can't manage to be refilled and the wait staff comes around once to ask how things are. Instead I watched wait staff and chefs standing around talking for most of the night while I was stuck repeatedly drinking my husband's glass of water while I was aired for someone to finally come around. We were seated late for our reservation because the table we were about to sit at had been given their bill (and I watched them put their money down to pay as soon as we walked in) and no one bothered to pick up the check for ten minutes.

    Really good food. Creative food. Good for a last minute dinner date with friends. I think they should look into a larger space as their popularity grows because when I was there our table had less than 6 inches between the table next to us.
