Went there for a casual date night and really enjoyed ourselves! We got the Caesar salad, buffalo wings and two pizzas. The drinks were very tasty and the salad was so flavorful. The wings were tossed in like a very thick sauce which wasn't what we were expecting. We thought it'd be like a normal coating of sauce but it almost felt too gloopy on the wings. The pizzas we ordered were the MVP and the vegan cheese. The MVP was so good and flavorful. The vegan cheese was pretty tasty too. Only comment would be that the vegan cheese is very sticky and only really enjoyable when really hot. Both reheated very well the next day. We came on a Saturday night and the initial service was a little slow but once we caught our server, it was fine. She came back to check on us a couple times and gave us the check quickly after we asked. 8/10 recommend read more

Lucky Duck - Caesar salad with espresso martini and dirty gin martini - Beer Bar Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Met up with my boyfriend for Happy Hour here last week. I had my car, so I chose this place hoping the garage parking could be validated. Spoiler alert: they don't validate so parking will cost you $9.60/hr or something. But let's not dwell. The experience of the restaurant was lovely! The happy hour pasta we got was a wide noodle with an Alfredo sauce and bacon, which was delicious. We also ordered a shrimp cocktail which they served well, and after HH ended we also split a pepperoni & hot honey pizza. The pizza had the thinnest crust I have ever seen- I almost wonder if it was made from rice flour or some other gluten free recipe because it wasn't in any language's definition of a bread product. But that's ok, it was tasty! I really want to come back with some girlfriends and order the Caesar salad and fries, the salad looked about 8" tall! The service was a little weird- seat yourself during happy hour but go to the bar to order- that's not the weird part. That's fine but if you order food for 2 people, then a food runner brings it to you, the food runner or a server or someone, should also bring plates and silver for each person at the table. When the pizza came out we were given a single share plate. Like what??? So twice during our meal we had to personally go to the station that looks like a server station for silverware, share plates, and water. It isnt clearly labeled if that is the expectation or if that is supposed to be only handled by staff- we felt weird grabbing it ourselves because we know having worked in service that's not usually what you want- guests hands in and all over the clean table setting stuff. They were playing good music and had a tv or two with sports on. All in all I really enjoyed the vibe, most of the food, and I'm sure I will be going back there again. read more

My first time here, I've never heard anything bad from my friends who've gone. The space is beautiful and the vibes def give bar/tavern but not in a trashy way. I sat at the bar since it was a walk in and for a late night it was packed (not a bad thing). Service was good, bartenders were friendly and checked on me and other people at the bar frequently which doesn't always happen when you sit at the bar of a restaurant. The food was good, it came out faster than I anticipated but also not a bad thing! The house favorites are the favorites for a reason. Overall had a good time. read more

Great views, solid half Caesar + fries and deviled eggs, but the mortadella sliders stole the show. Seriously, those little guys were the MVP of the night--savory, delicious, and very much worthy of a second order. read more

I had been wanting to try this place since it opened and finally had a brunch reservation - and it didn't disappoint! The entrance area is a bit small so it can get crowded quickly but luckily the wait wasn't too long. Beautiful restaurant - gorgeous view of the river and thoughtfully designed. It was a gorgeous day when I came and all the doors and windows were open. We were sat inside but there's so much flow between the outside and inside. I got a delicious cocktail and the breakfast pizza. The pizza was so unique and delicious - perfectly crispy thin crust. Extremely friendly staff as well. I'm already plotting a trip back for dinner! read more

The cutest spot right near Northern Liberties opened up just in time for summer! I had the best lunch here this weekend. The food is SO good (they do brunch every Saturday & Sunday) and it was so nice to look out along the water Highly recommend coming for a girls day or date night, and make sure to get the fries they were the perfect combo of thin and crunchy! read more

Lucky Duck - Such a relaxing vibe - Beer Bar Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Great views of the Delaware River and nice landscaping. We sat in the seat yourself area and ordered brunch from the bar. Their espresso martini is very good with fresh orange. Beer list is limited. Servers were pleasant. Fries were seasoned. Pork sausage was too heavy on sage for our liking. Eggs were cooked perfectly. Pizzas on other tables were very thin. Get there early if you want a good seat. read more

4 stars mostly for ambiance, location on the water, and the drinks. Food was lackluster, especially the $38 steak frites. Fries were over-seasoned but had good crisp and the steak was tough. The caesar salad was the best thing we ate. Maybe better to try the pizzas and small bites during happy hour. read more

Very disappointed in my experience at Lucky Duck. I came in with high expectations after hearing glowing reviews from friends and family, but it just didn't live up to the hype. We arrived for happy hour at 5pm on a Friday, and it was packed. The bar was extremely loud; so much so that it made it hard to even have a conversation. The whole resturant was loud even when we sat down at our seat! For happy hour, we ordered the chicken fingers, Caesar salad with fries, and the tuna tartare. The standout here was the tartare; it was fresh and flavorful, but the portion was comically small and mostly guacamole. The chicken fingers were pretty standard, nothing special but still enjoyable. The Caesar salad, however, lacked flavor. The fries were a highlight; super crispy and well done. I also really enjoyed the espresso martinis; the drinks overall were solid, and the servers were all lovely. We were seated for dinner just before 6pm and ordered the pepperoni pizza, duck bolognese, and mortadella sliders. The pizza was actually very good; thin, crispy, bar-style, and definitely something I'd order again. The mortadella sliders were also a win. I loved that they were served on focaccia; great flavor and a fun concept. Unfortunately, the duck bolognese was a major letdown. It had almost no flavor and was shockingly overpriced for the quality. Overall, I wouldn't rush back. If I did return, it would likely just be for drinks and the view, not the food. read more

New addition to Columbus Blvd. Beautiful river views. Very vibrant and bustling on my visit. I recommend checking this place out when you're looking for a nice range of good beers on tap and decent food menu. The pizzas looked good. I just had a Guinness and fries. The Guinness pour was awesome! The staff were very professional and accommodating overall. I can see this place doing very well due to the location and a really nice alternative to some of the other bars/restaurants nearby. read more

Went here for a dinner date and was very excited. The atmosphere is incredible and the view is amazing even on a rainy day. The restaurant is very cute as well albeit a little crowded. The service was very friendly and pretty quick. There were out of some of our top options which was a little upsetting but the others items were still good. The drinks were mostly good as well. The sour cream and onion pizza was very unique and would recommend trying it as it is so different. Overall a good time but nothing super crazy. read more

Lucky Duck is a beautifully designed, perfectly located New American bistro that I can already tell will become my local go-to for great vibes, scenic views, and excellent drinks. I stopped by for a quick look during their soft opening, and it only made me more excited for what's to come. It feels like the perfect spot for almost any occasion--from casual meetups with friends to a more intimate first date or date night. The staff was incredibly friendly, happily showing me around and greeting everyone who walked through the door with genuine smiles. It left me confident that the service here will be just as great as the atmosphere. read more

overall this restaurant and experience was okay and mediocre at best. since it was summer it also had lots of flies and bugs so beware... don't get seated next to the walls haha.. we got steak frites which was fine, but pricey for $40 when it was nothing special and this was also not a fancy restaurant so not sure why they charged this price. pizza was ~$20 and was p decent but i'll prob only ever come back for pizza, if i do. service was fine. not sure if ill come back but if i do ill give the cocktail a try. fyi there is no free or validated parking so be prepared to pay around $10 for two hours read more

The ambiance is perfect for drinks with friends or an elevated dinner. We started with the prosciutto chips and the mvp pizza, which were both great and perfect for sharing. My favorite was the Caesar salad with chicken milanese, the chicken was super thin and crispy. The duck bolognese wasn't my favorite, as it lacked some flavor to me. It was a busy Saturday night, so service was a bit slow for our bigger party. read more

We came for happy hour and got a table outside. Service was great! They have limited vegetarian options. So we got the Caesar and fries and the MVP pie. The fries were okay. The garlic aioli didn't taste like garlic. The Caesar salad was okay. The mvp pie was good. It's a super thin crispy pizza. We got the pink slip for drinks and that was good too. I'd say I'd return just for the drinks and mvp pie and a spot along the river on a nice day. read more

Fun and lively. The indoor space around the bar was nice on a hot Sunday. The line to get a drink was kind of long, but the drinks were so good. I had a dirty (filthy) gin martini which was soo delicious. The duck vending machine on the way out was also fun and on theme. read more

Such a great experience at Lucky Duck, I'm so excited to check it out in the summer with their patio and huge doors that open up onto the Delaware! The space is huge with tons of seating, the place was packed when I went and the tables are a bit close to each other which makes it a little loud, but nothing too crazy. Our server, Iyana, was ON IT. Checking in on drink refills often, without being overbearing. She was so friendly and recommended great dishes. Our drinks we're delish, the espresso martini was AWESOME! The price for drinks is what you expect out of a nicer spot here in the city, about 12-15 bucks a piece. The breakfast pizza was absolutely insane, I've truly never had anything like that. It's covered in sausage, bacon, HASHBROWNS and this delish garlicky sour cream drizzle. I love that the pizzas are cut up into bite size pieces, rather than full slices. Perfect for sharing! The rest of our food was great as well, I'd probably skip the steak frites next time, but everything else was really stand out. read more

Ive been waiting to try this place and Im glad I finally came! Such an awesome view by the river and the interior is well decorated, plus they have darts! We shared oysters, pizza and wings, raspberry collins mocktails and graham cracker honeycomb ice cream. Everything was done really well and the flavors were there for sure. Service was great and I will definitely be returning for drinks on a warmer night when they have the big doors open. read more

I had went here on Sunday afternoon for an early lunch and it was SO good! The location is great, the vibe is immaculate, and the staff is super nice! Our bartender was honestly the best! We sat in the high top bar area so all service is through the bar. The bartender made sure we were accommodated for everything we ordered. If they didnt have something we wanted, she went above and beyond to ensure that she made it work for us. The food was super good too. I would definitely recommend their pizzas and the tuna tartar. I cant wait to go back again!! read more

I have never written a review before & I felt the need to for this place. TLDR; the place is gorgeous, the deviled eggs were about a 6/10, the lattes were sent back, & the food was MAYBE subpar, especially for the price. This place would probably be great for an occasion that you'd sit at the bar, have a drink & enjoyed the interior design/ambiance with some friends. The location itself is beautiful. The decor is lovely & it is gorgeous inside. I was here with my partner & we got the deviled eggs, French vanilla hot latte, bananas foster latte, soft crab Benedict, & the chicken and French toast. The coffee drinks were genuinely gross. They had a very weird flavor and took longer than the food to arrive. The deviled eggs were good, they had a meaty flavor to them that was fairly unique but enjoyable. The chicken & French toast was okay too. The chicken had good flavor but was fairly dry & the French toast was good on its own. The crab Benedict was just very poorly thought out flavor wise. It had a lot of different flavors that just didn't blend well at all & the crab itself was genuinely just gross. I don't even want to use that word but I had a bite of the crab by itself & it grossed me out so much that I didn't eat the rest of my meal. After all of it, our waitress did take the coffee off of our bill & it was still $60 for VERY average food. I wouldn't recommend this place, but it is very beautiful inside. read more

Lucky Duck - Sour cream and onion pizza - Beer Bar Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

The Cesar salad is very good. The tuna tartar is good too. The pepperoni pizza would have been really good had they not put pepper relish all over it. I would ask for it without the relish next time. The biggest problem with this place is the noise level. It is the loudest restaurant I've ever been in. Every table around us was complaining about the noise level. I saw multiple tables get up and leave before even ordering. Huge issue read more

This place is great esp as the weather gets better. Nice spot on the water and the setting is really nice. The service is great and all the servers are fast and attentive. We tried a few things on the menu including their pizza, chicken nuggets, ceasar salad, and their cocktail special. I would say their food is more on the saltier end but if they put less salt i think it would be really good. As a note, no kids after 7pm. read more

Go for the bar pies, Caesar salad, and fries, which are the clear standouts. Skip the mortadella sliders and wings. The wings are average at best, and the sliders feel like a chopped Italian sandwich where no single ingredient really shines. A grilled mortadella slider, in the spirit of Anthony Bourdain, would be the right move here. Otherwise you're just paying for a quarter of an Italian sandwich. Service is still finding its rhythm, which is not unusual for a new restaurant. Plate clearing in particular could be more efficient, as it tends to happen in multiple, somewhat disruptive passes. On a recent visit, the chicken Milanese was served without a proper cutting knife, something that should be set in advance for that dish. The space also runs quite loud. That energy works at the bar, but for table seating, a slightly more controlled volume would improve the overall experience. I do think this place will get better over time. They won't have a choice as this is a destination restaurant for most. read more

What a view and what a beautiful bar !!! A million dollar view with friendly and thoughtful fare done to perfection.

Had an early dinner for my daughter's bday. Table for 4 indoors, but totally open to the outside including the Delaware river - beautiful and sunny, but shady out on the patio. Everything was great - Spicy Pepperoni pie as an app - razor thin crust, but totally crispy. Caesar was really crunchy, not too much dressing, and nice light parm curls. Got the wings well done - sort of an Indian spice plus herbs - yummy and cooked perfectly. Had the mortadella sliders - better than I expected with a nicely toasted bun and great flavors. Our server was excellent (Noah?). Even brought us a birthday candle for this mini cake we brought. Really attentive. Great vibe there - will definitely go back. read more

Great Phila. venue next to the water. Our party of four tried a variety of food and beverages from beers, cocktails and mocktails. Cosmo-naught was tasty! Apps included the Chips and Prosciutto and pizza. Entrees included Chicken Milanese, steak frites, and paperdelle in duck bolognese. We shared and each entree had its own delicious, distinctive flavor, accompanied by a specialty sauce that complimented the dish perfectly. The apps were also addicting. So enjoyable, you mindlessly nosh away. Whether you live in the Philly area or are visiting, a great spot to try! read more

Went opening day, felt like they had been open for months. Had zero issue with reservations made online, was seated immediately. Servers were nice and attentive. Food and drinks came out quick. Was incredibly delicious with the tartare as a real standout. The interior was lovely and great energy. We were seated near the large glass doors with a great view of the water and bridge. In warmer weather we will be back to see the doors open. All in all, a new staple for us along the water! 10/10 read more

Overpriced, bad portions, and the food is just poorly reheated Sysco junk. Staff delivered the wrong drinks, and both our appetizers and entrees were lukewarm despite not going on a busy night. The gimmick is it's on the water but there are other places that do this without sacrificing quality. The city is filled with tons of restaurants and this might be at the bottom. Ownership really dropped the ball on this one and now the prime real estate has gone to waste. Avoid. read more

I will start by saying first impressions are everything.

Never got to even try the food or see much of the space. Was turned away at the door with little explanation. We were told they're not seating anyone else after moving 3 or 4 parties in while we waited and that the bar was at capacity. No offer to put us in a queue or even given an expected wait time. Would strongly suggest utilizing a pos that offers queues when you're full instead of turning people away read more
