Sour Duck market is a sister restaurant to Barley swine and Odd duck restaurants. It is located on Martin Luther King Dr. near IH 35. You might think of this location as a three in one experience first you have the Coffee and Bakery Shop where you can also have meals as well. Second, you have a outdoor covered patio with a stage, which is quite large where you can have beverages and and food. Then there's a third building with a bar with additional seating where you can have food and beverages. The hubs and I went to Sour Duck Market for happy hour. We ordered they're famous Smashburgers and fries. The Smash burgers were $6 each and fries were $4 dollars respectively you can also order a double meat Smashburger for $9, which is also a reasonable price. The smash burger bun was somewhere between brioche softness and pastry bread. The meat itself was flavorful with the special sauce and pickles, which was a winning combination. The fries were dusted with some type of Cajun seasoning...perfectly executed. Our meal was quite delightful. We definitely will be returning. Service was friendly and efficient.

Came during happy hour and the outside was so lively! Ordered the single patty burger and it's a great burger! I was a little worried that the two types of cheese would be too overpowering but the balance was perfect. The burger has three thick slices of pickles and a juicy, smashed patty. Not pictured, but we also ordered the fries, which were okay. Do not skip out on the ketchup! I think it's the best ketchup I've ever had. It tastes a little bit like tomato basil. I will definitely come back again to eat this burger when I'm craving.

My first time at Sour Duck Market before heading to Moody for Kacey Musgraves with a girlfriend! We split the burger and a bottle of their still rosé and everything was delicious. Not too packed to grab at seat at the bar and the bartenders were all super nice! Can't wait to bring my husband and sit outside - they have a huge patio.

hash, ginger beer

Lovely patio area, nice staff and a great menu, I wanted to try one of everything. The chicken on the fried chicken hash might be the best I've ever had, so juicy and I loved the sauce. Can also recommend the turmeric mule, super tasty. I think I missed out by not getting anything from the bakery, but it's on my list for next time.

SMOKED TURKEY SANDWICH
Kristine L.

I love sour duck! Portions are huge and it's a great spot to grab a quick lunch. I came with a friend on a Monday. There's plenty of seating inside and outside (also lots of birds). You order at your seat and the servers will bring it to you. It doesn't take that long at all. I got the turkey sandwich with fries. It was very filling! I wish the sandwich was toasted though - would add more texture. Overall a great spot for lunch!

Smoked Redfish Toast
Michelle Y.

I ordered the Smoked Redfish Toast. This was surprisingly incredibly delicious and filling. It was a tad on the sour side with the dill and lemon, but I still really enjoyed the fish and texture of the toast. Be careful of the birds here. There are a lot of birds that hang around, and one swooped in and stole the bun off my friend's breakfast sandwich LOL. Our waiter was kind enough to bring her a replacement bun, so don't worry if it happens to you! There's a lot of seating too. I would definitely recommend coming on a sunny morning as the seating is essentially all outdoors. Overall, good vibes.

Mimosa and IPA

A very hopping, trendy, busy place! Parking is very limited so go early. They have 2 tight lots available, the rest is street parking. Outdoor patio has a smaller section that is covered with fans, remaining picnic tables throughout with umbrellas with a gravel surface. It is pet friendly. We got there at 1130ish but did not order til after 12 waiting on others. They have a smaller section bakery section indoors in one building and the bar in the other. Bartender was rude. We were informed that we could go to the bar to order drinks so when I went, she rudely commented that she was not taking any orders, we will have to order at our table. Other guests arrived so we ordered. I had the migas quiche and 3 others had the wagyu burger, with side of fries, mimosa (very small 6-8 oz glass) but light on the OJ which was perfectly poured so it kept me quiet. The food was good but disappointed while ordering in the app that other lunch items were not available, just the daily and brunch menu. Maybe that's all they offered, IDK. We drove 28 miles to try this place and am not sure it was worth the drive. If you're in the UT area, you can give it a try and you can be the judge.

Inside bar area

Open faced summer sando was light, the oyster mushrooms sent this Sammie into sensational. Smoked half chicken, the juiciness of this bird was something I have never experienced thus far. Seasoned perfectly, with the spring salad to balance this meat dish. Now, my favorite of our meals...Peachy Italian sammie, with some goat cheese to schmear on. The focaccia was an exhibition in itself, with the softness and the thin crunch, just yum! Arugula slaw, sweet peppers, the meats....this is just a beautiful dish. Fresh ginger beer on tap? GTFOOH.....what a treat on a summer evening. So glad we chose a new place for us to dig in at, it did not disappoint. Backyard patio was just adorable, but we sat inside. Staff was exceptional and friendly, with kind and lovely smiles!

Breakfast tacos
Rachel S.

This is a cool spot for lunch or brunch! We stopped by for lunch and it was starting to get warm outside. We saw that it was pretty crowded with a long line inside the restaurant so we walked outside where they had many tables with fans. You scan a QR code to place your order so we decided on a breakfast taco for each of us as we weren't too hungry. A server brought out our food pretty quickly and we quite enjoyed the fries and egg inside the tortilla. The taco was overall pretty good though we did agree we've had better tacos before. However we found all the employees really friendly and the outside area was laid back and nice. Seemed to be a great spot for hanging out with friends or family on a relaxed weekend and they let you bring pets!

TOMATO SALAD
Maya J.

The food feels oddly simple, but SO good. I didn't realize when I was eating it, but I would crave it so hard later. Definitely a new go to with a great happy hour menu. I have to recommend the turmeric mule and amazing salads and sandwiches. It's a smaller menu so I was more prompted to order something I wouldn't normally but was happily surprised. Also love the outdoor vibes! Only thing I would change is that you order through QR code which I think is efficient for this type of restaurant but I do wish it was a little bit more interaction

Burger and Fries
Michael M.

My wife and I had a great time here and enjoyed their happy hour specials. You simply can't beat the deals. From 3-6 pm daily, they have $6 single burgers and $9 double burgers. Also, they had $6 Paloma's and $3 snaquiri shots. They offered other beer and cocktail specials as well. The place has nice ambiance and outdoor seating. It's definitely kid and pet friendly. They serve food and drinks quickly. The staff were nice and kind. You seat yourself and you can scan the QR code at your table to order items. They deliver everything right to you. So, it's pretty easy and effortless. I would absolutely return here again.

PEELER FARMS WAGYU DBL CHEESEBURGER no American cheese spread
Karen C.

Did my order thru Uber Eats. Was craving a good smash burger and did not disappoint! Wow! I did remove the American cheese. So they do allow modifications on Uber Eats. The double patty burger was so large and so tasty. The Pimento cheese spread was a wonderful tasty addition. The pickles were just right. They were thick and crisp and fresh! Did order the fries as a side. They were a tad over salted but cooked very well. The spicy ketchup went well with them. A non regular ketchup is always a plus! Very impressed with how the portions were wonderfully sized. The service of the proper modifications to the burger were appreciated and spot on! Thank you!

SMOKED TURKEY SANDWICH
Nikki H.

I've been here several times and am never let down I've had many of the pastries, if I can find the photos of them in my camera roll I'll update my review. Breakfast Sammy is always so good--sausage is high quality and egg is perfectly cooked. Goat memela has been good both times Smoked turkey sandwich was pretty good, I thought it needed acid but I'm an acid freak that needs pickles on everything. Counter service or ordered from a QR code at the table and they bring it out to you. Never met with any rudeness. I usually sit outside. They have table fans for bugs and mister fans for when it's hot, heaters for when it's cold. Overall, always a good experience.

Does Sour Duck have heat lamps outside?

Yes they do have outdoor heaters

Are there gluten free options or substations?

As of yesterday (2022-09-04) there were precisely TWO items labelled as GF (a salad with cheese and a cold soup appetizer (very small)). This place is NOT a good place for GF folks. Moreover, you order through a website and have no means to ask…

I'm a girl who prefers no pickles on burgers so that's my own bias but even my partner stated he felt the burger was very pickle forward. The waygu beef was suppose to be star, especially at the price point for this ($40 for two burgers, a diet coke, and a shared order of beast fried), and it simply wasn't. Both the burger and fries were well cooked but my feedback is slapping what seems to be sliced cheese that will only melt to the top layer of fries and leave the rest without any toppings feels like a missed opportunity. It makes it harder even grab fries because they are conjoined together by the cheese. I like consistency in each bite, once the top layer of fries was gone they were just plain Jane fries. I think if the burger had some crunchy / crispy to just break up all the soft textures that would be nice as well. Like subbing the grilled jalepenos for raw ones. I can't say I'd go out of my way for this spot again with other competitors like Buddy's being closer and less pricey but it was still a well cooked burger. But if you like pickles, this is the place for you! It's bar/ high top dining only so definitely a casual, quick bite stop.

It's been a while since we've been back here and since then, they've moved and this is their…read moreSECOND, new location. Whoa! I studied their website before we went as a review session and they have a section with ingredients and options for food allergies and special diets. I got there prepared and the owner was there and I found out that website hasn't been updated in about 2 years. Many things have changed, but not their website. Our go-to Meati Sandwich is no longer on the menu. But I must say I love the new place. Bold, clean, awesome. Other than that, not too much has changed; they still have a lot of mouthwatering items on the menu... and my family can only eat one burger on the menu. We're allium-free vegetarians and there's alliums in sauces and certain proteins used. Thankfully, we were speaking to one of the co-owners and he was super helpful and patient with us, even looking up ingredients and letting us double check. He is aware of the Jain diet. They also have a kids menu and we actually ordered off of one for the first time for the kids (just a simplified version of the regular burgers), We ended up ordering: MISSION BURGER ($16.95): a classic burger with 2 Impossible patties. Having said that, the patties were super thin and smooshed flat. The guys got this burger. Took out onions and subbed out the house sauce with ketchup and mustard. JR MISSION BURGER ($12.95): same as the regular with only 1 of the smooshed impossible patties. My sister and I got this. A very good burger and it's such a nostalgic feeling eating a burger (that I didn't make myself for once). The burger was perfectly filling but I could definitely also eat a regular Mission with no issues since the patties are smooshed down. KIDS' CHEESEBURGER W/ FRIES (1 with a gluten-free bun), both $11.99 so no additional cost for GF: both my kids got this with nothing added in other than cheese and the smooshed impossible patty. The saddest looking burgers BUT they ate it! The gluten-free bun is a bit... flattened, but my kid ate half of it there and finished it on the car ride out of Austin. Then asked for another one. In fact, he's still asking for another one and it's been almost 2 weeks. My other kid (picky, no allergies) likes it as well, but didn't finish and not as much as her brother. But she definitely loved the fries. SMALL FRIES ($3.50): almost every order of burgers came with a side of fries. These are perfect, stayed delicious, and were perfectly seasoned. If you are gluten-sensitive or have a wheat allergy, do know they use a shared fryer for ALL their fried items. My kid with the food allergies couldn't eat them, just to be safe. COOKIES AND CREAM MILKSHAKE ($11.95): This is made with their soft serve and regular Oreo cookies. SO GOOD. My daughter and my vegan sister got one each. Not too sweet, hit the spot perfectly. I would like to suggest they offer a gluten-free version made with GF Oreos if they can figure out how to significantly eliminate cross contamination... or just use only GF Oreos. VANILLA SOFT SERVE ($3.99): fun fact - these are lentil protein based! Got this for my kid with the food allergies (he's allergic to wheat, eggs, peanuts, tree nuts, avocado, pineapple, kiwi) who prefers real dairy and he ate almost the entire cup! It's a pretty hefty serving. I had a taste and it's pretty good. Very close to the dairy version. We were thrilled with our visit. Everything tasted great! I loved how there isn't an additional cost for a gluten free bun (it's a little wonky shaped... irregularly flattened on top). My food allergy kid asked me to make him a burger because he misses the one he got here and he specifically requested for buns with a round top so it's apparently a sore spot with him. I also love how I could actually talk to someone and make well informed decisions on what we could order... and we ordered everything we could have (aside from desserts). I'm a bit sad Mission Burger is so far away, but I guess it just means we'll have to stop by Austin when we're in Texas again. Thank you for another amazing experience!

Wow! Did not expect how good this place was. I have always passed by this place and over looked it…read more Definitely wished I tried sooner. First walking in I was greeted by the staff and they were so welcoming and sweet. We got offered a cookie while ordering, which definitely sweetened the deal for me. The staff answered all of our questions and even let us try some of the items as we were in between the Mac n cheese with brisket or not. First off, the bbq brisket is CRAZY good! It's made from mushroom and cooked so well. I got the brisket with Mac n cheese. The Mac n cheese was very creamy, but I would not say cheesy. I really liked the mac n cheese, even though I usually do not gravitate towards it. My favorite item other than the brisket would be the onion rings. It was savory and rich, and has a great crunch to it. I recommend getting it with the ranch, but there is also an option for bbq sauce. We also got the Carne Asada Steak Quesadilla (weekly item) and a Jr. Mission Burger. It was good to try but when compared to the brisket and onion rings, it ranks lower on my list. The items did not stand out to me, but were a decent choice. Overall, I would definitely come back and try their other items on the menu. Loved the team, they definitely made the experience for me!

This burger spot is essentially just a food truck, but the food is solid, and the service is great…read more The food truck itself is nice and clean, and there's a big signage out front. There is some picnic bench seating if you care to eat there, but each order is ready to take home You can also find a menu and other information posted on the outside. The menu mostly offers burgers, but there are a couple other offerings like a cheesesteak, partner, etc. The staff were very friendly and precessional. I really appreciated that they double checked everything in our to-go bags against what we ordered just to make sure we had everything. Everything was bagged, and the orders had the individual order and special order requests written on top Everything tasted great. The burgers were classic burgers, slightly messy, but very flavorful. The fries weren't quite as crisp as I like, but they were seasoned well and tasty Some tips: Consider ordering online so you can have your meal ready when you arrive The burgers/entrees don't come with fries, so, consider ordering a couple fries to share. One order of fries is more than enough for 2 people to share. To do this just make your meal a combo on the ones you want to have fries. Combos also come with a drink, but it's not a fountain drink it's in cans which they also bag for you Cheers!!

When I chose to eat here, I checked the reviews and there were way more positive reviews than…read morenegative, so I thought the odds were in my favor. The few negative reviews mentioned bland burgers, but the positive ones say these are the best burgers in town. I thought I couldn't be unlucky enough to be in the minority and receive bland burgers, but, boy, was I wrong! NO SEASONING IN THE PATTIES!! Not even salt? If they had just seasoned the patties like they seasoned their fries, my experience would be completely different. An easy 5 stars. But nope. A solid 2, only because of everything other than the patties. We came at around 8pm on a Saturday night and were the only customers, so maybe that should've been a sign. Also the lot felt kinda sketchy in the dark. Idk if I would have wanted to be there alone at night. Food was also ready in 10 minutes, like the guy told us. FRIES: Thick cut, well-seasoned, good. Looked like a steak seasoning on the fries. I liked it, but since they were thick, the center of the fries were bland, unfortunately. Maybe it would've been less noticeable if we ate them right away. Large serving though. My bf and I only got one combo and couldn't finish the fries with each of our burgers. The burgers are big, at 4 inches wide. THOUSAND ISLAND BURGER: I liked it at first because of the thousand island, but for the bites that didn't have it, I noticed that the patty didn't taste seasoned...like at all. I was shocked at how bland it was without the dressing. MUSHROOM BURGER: The mushrooms had no flavor, probably weren't seasoned at all. The burger, overall, was also very bland. Unseasoned patty here too. The ingredients felt fresh, but it was missing the flavor we were expecting. Really disappointing. They gave ketchup packets in the bag, but we didn't remember they were in there before finishing our burgers. It probably would've really helped, but the burgers shouldn't have needed it to be good.
