We stopped at Sour Duck Market before a concert at the Moody Center and it ended up being such a great choice. We got there during happy hour, which runs daily from 3-6, and had the burger and fries along with the open-faced summer sando. Both were amazing- the burger was so good, and the summer sando was fresh, flavorful, and a nice lighter option. We also shared a bottle of rosé, which was perfect before heading to the show. They also have a really large outdoor patio, which gives the whole place such a relaxed, casual Austin feel and makes it a great spot to hang out when the weather is nice. I also love that they have an in-house bakery and make so much from scratch. Everything we had was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and we'll definitely be back. read more

Really unhelpful staff. First we were told we could look at the menu on the wall and order drinks with them if we wanted. We all picked out cocktails and then told us cocktails can't be ordered. Would have been helpful to know that in the beginning. I asked about items being vegan. They were no longer serving the melon and cucumber salad. I asked if they had the summer squash sandwich available and she said yes. I asked if anything else could be vegan and she said "I could try" After waiting 20 minutes our table was ready; we go to order, and the sandwich isn't even listed on the menu to order. I got up to ask how I can order the sandwich she stated they had and she said I couldn't because they are only serving brunch right now. Same person I asked previously mind you. We got up and left. So rude and inconsiderate of other people's time and really unwilling to be helpful in any manner. You can have no vegan items and be polite and communicate that all up front. Maybe even with a smile on your face would be helpful. read more

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. On the patio that have read more

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. read more

My friend and I came for a lunch catch-up session this weekend with the goal of trying their infamous Wagyu Double Cheeseburger, and I can understand the hype now! Even though these were smashed patties, it was a generously-sized burger for the $14 price point, and their "secret sauce" gave it a unique, delicious edge. Although the burger does not come with fries by default, we of course ordered a side of fries in order to also try their house ketchup, which had a refreshing tomato profile and didn't taste processed or too sweet. However, I wish the fries were a bit more airy and crispy. I also ordered the Breakfast Taco, but I unfortunately did not enjoy the fries as a topping. I understand that this was their version of the "potatoes" that usually come in a standard breakfast taco, but I felt like the fries took away from the rest of the taco. Overall, I was impressed to see that this establishment was a combination of a bakery, cafe, AND beer garden haha! Food was quick to come out and the overall ambiance is casual, giving it the perfect relaxing vibes nestled in a cute neighborhood :) read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

Do yourself a favor and go to sour duck!!! My partner & I love sour duck so much. We will go to eat there or order it in, and every time it's delicious. Their pastries are some of the best pastries I've had in Austin hands down. My favorite is the cinnamon roll, it's insane. Their coffee is solid as well. And even their burger is delicious too. Everything tastes very fresh. When we do dine in, it's a nice outdoor ambiance, the service is fast and the mobile ordering makes it easy! read more

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. read more

Sour Duck Market - Smoked Redfish Toast - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

I've driven by this place countless times but finally came to give it a try recently. Once the order is placed via QR code, service is quite fast. We managed to grab a nice table under the roof on a gray and rainy day which made for a charming vibe. I got a quiche which was delicious- the pickled peppers on top really balanced out the cheesy egg underneath. The only thing is that I noticed an after taste similar to the crumbs of one of the apple pastry desserts- it wasn't that unpleasant but wondered if it was a result of their oven or kitchen. Excited to return for their famous burgers. read more

Vibe Was looking for a nice pet friendly spot to grab a bite near UT Austin on a Monday afternoon, and happened upon this establishment . It's really tucked away and no up front parking so we were unsure what to expect. They do offer parking at the south of the building. We walked into a very unique and quaint restaurant. The inside is welcoming, airy, green and eclectic. While on the smaller side for indoor dining, the outside more than makes up for it. There's a plethora of shaded seating with fans that offer an extremely nice breeze. The natural light , greenery and music playing at the perfect pitch is an entire vibe! Not to mention they had a really nice crowd for a Monday at noon! And the food did not disappoint! Their chicken sandwich was delicious and unique, fries were fresh, seasoned and crispy and don't get me started on that house made dipping sauce! We also tried a piece of lemon pound cake from the bakery and it was scrumptious with a perfectly balanced glaze. All of which was priced fairly. The staff was nice, attentive and made us feel welcomed. We were really impressed with the overall atmosphere and dining experience! And our pup demolished her plain beef patty! If your looking for a nice vibe, good food and atmosphere look no further! If you have larger group you'll seat comfortably! Can't wait to go back! Happy Eating :) read more

My favorite happy hour in town!!!!!!!!! I'm gluten free but their smash burger I eat anyway... I savor every bite and I have never been disappointed. They serve batch cocktails that are sold and creative but truly the burger is a must try. read more

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 read more

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. read more

Sour Duck Market - Burger and Fries - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

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! read more

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. read more

Loved the evening patio vibes - plenty of seating. Got the banana trifle, crispy chicken sandwich, and salad with smoked chicken. Would recommend the chicken sandwich of the three - tasted like Korean fried chicken with fresh veg/pickles. However we enjoyed everything! Would recommend! read more

We stopped by here on our way into Austin because the food looked good and there was room for our kids to run around after being in the car all day. It was a great choice! The food was amazing and there was plenty of space for the kids to run around. My husband and I shared the spicy chicken sandwich, the chicken salad, fries, and a cookie. The smoked chicken on the salad was delicious! The entire salad tasted very fresh! I did ask for extra dressing which I would recommend. The chicken sandwich had a little kick and it was nice and crispy. The ketchup tastes homemade and had a great flavor! (My 4 year old didn't like it) There was a giant chalkboard that my daughter enjoyed drawing on! I will definitely be back. read more

I've heard about this place being related to Odd Duck, but didn't check them out until recently! They have indoor and outdoor seating but whenever I see outdoor seating, I usually opt for that in good weather. Dog-friendly! They have WiFi for guests (password is on the napkins) and they have parking in the front and back of the market. You can order from the QR Code at the tables or head inside and get a whiff of their pastries. Water is self-serve. When ordering, you start a tab. If you forget to close out, they'll automatically charge you 20% tip. I ordered the honey cake all to myself! I probably should've shared it since it was pretty filling, but it was so delicious! Unfortunately, since I sat outside, there were a bunch of leaves and flowery stuff that kept dropping on it. Not sure if I ate some with the cake but it was still good haha! I would like to go back to try a full meal or even their happy hour. read more

I have been to this market quite a few times now, but this was my first time doing a pick up order and then deciding to drink coffee while at the location. I strongly recommend ordering an iced coffee drink while there because it does seem to be a bit bigger in size and also the customer service is incredible. I ordered the double Wagyu burger without any cheese and my order was perfectly received. The fries were limp and not cooked fully, but they were edible and had a nice seasoning on them. The Mexicano latte was the highlight and I recommend getting it with oat milk and iced. My friend got a black tea iced and it was really good. Go check out the pastries indoors and don't feel scared to order over-the-counter. read more

I believe I finally have had enough trips to Sour Duck Market to write my review. Here's my take, why just go once, come back for more of their menu. One thing I take seriously are my reviews and giving any place the opportunity to show me consistency and all around goodness. First and foremost, I will like to compliment the friendly staff. They are extremely friendly, helpful, and everyone seems to really enjoy working there. Whether offering seating or sharing more about their menu:) That said, Sour Duck Market is a great place to come for a relaxed atmosphere and enjoyment. They have seating out back, some spots out front, and inside. I come here to study, but it's also a great spot to have a time with family and friends. The true yelp topic, however, is the food. And let's just say I'm on board with what others have said. I have tried the burgers, fries, sweets/pastries, and of course the drinks. My favorite of all these is a brisket sandwich with their fries! The brisket itself has an amazing sauce which I heard is made in house. This sauce is also used on the burgers and if you order either with their amazingly seasoned fries you won't be disappointed! As for drinks, I loved the Mexicano latte, that's my personal favorite. The spices and the espresso is well balanced and is my go to drink. That said, it is my favorite. They also have a caramel latte, but it is on the sweeter side. It's good, but sweeter than my liking. As for any pastries you get, I tried some of their fan favorite which include the honey cake and wow! As a baker myself, I quite enjoyed this cake since it was moist and the frosting itself was the perfect consistency and texture. It was also not too sweet and not overly powerful, but added what it needed to the cake. Anyways, I come here often, and would recommend to those looking for a sweet spot to enjoy with family. It's by the UT Austin baseball field, so if you're coming for game day you should stop by and enjoy their offerings. read more

A relaxing restaurant to enjoy a small meal or have a coffee or beer! Or all three...find an open table, sit (or stand) and scan the QR code, review the menu and choose your temptation. A server will be with you shortly to bring you your order...pretty simple! There is lots of seating both indoors and outdoors. The music was Country Western providing great vibes! Our server was polite and available if you needed them. I had the double waygu cheeseburger with fries and a cup of drip coffee. The burger was very nice and the fries were cooked well. My coffee was hot but not scalding! A perfect place to dine after a nice walk in the park! read more

For a restaurant like Sour Duck, I wish I had 10+ friends willing to eat out with me so that we can try more of the menu (in particular the pastries here!) It's not the usual style/ambiance for our family, but I felt "at home" in the social environment. After a large family left the table behind us, noise level got better. It's so cute to see babies and dogs enjoying the energy as well! I got the honey cake to share, as well as the fried chicken hash for my entree. Both were great. Portions were surprisingly large -- the style of cooking definitely reminds me of Odd Duck. I haven't been to Barley & Swine yet though. Water is self served, as are the takeout containers and extra cutlery. Parking is scary but we made it work in front of one of the stop signs at a street behind the restaurant. read more

TL;DR: I went at happy hour and indeed was quite happy with everything! $6 burger, $6 drinks, good vibes. Will come back. Food: I went during happy hour, and I ordered a smash burger ($6), a paloma ($6), and an aperol spritz ($8). The burger is nothing extraordinary (just a patty and cheese), but it has a good flavor to it and is not greasy. I would totally order the paloma again: it has a nice subtle grapefruit flavor to it. Aperol spritz is a classic, but I would rather order another paloma! Service: You just scan a QR code to order, and you can open/close a tab easily. Love that it accepts Apple pay. Food came like 15 minutes before my drinks did, so there is definitely a bit of wait with drinks. Ambiance: I love the vibe out here -- it is essentially just a ton of benches with umbrellas to vibe at. A very chill outdoor experience, and all of my friends had positive things to say as well :) read more

Tried brunch at Sour Duck Market recently. It's self-seating and you order through your phone, so service is pretty minimal overall. I went with the smoked brisket chilaquiles. The chilaquiles themselves and the egg were solid, but the brisket was extremely dry, very lean and chewy, which was disappointing and kind of took over the dish. Other dishes at the table seemed to be better received, so it might just be a matter of ordering differently next time. I'd be open to giving brunch another shot, just with a different entrée. read more

((((WOW)))) The best breakfast sandwich I have ever had so far!! Freshly made bun(so airy), delicious avocado sauce, and generous sausage slice. All the veggies added, made a perfect combination of flavors. The outdoor seating added to my wonderful experience here. My cappuccino was also a great compliment to my meal. Purchased a sour dough bread as a souvenir to take back home! Now I'm back home with my sour dough bread, & the first bite I took of a slice brought back memories of the delicious sour dough bread I had in Ireland!! That's how good their bread is. If you are from out of town & a connoisseur in breads, you won't be disappointed visiting their restaurant. Don't expect a fancy place, this place prides in their food, & you can taste it in every bite!! read more

First time at Sour Duck Market, and it was such a great stop before our dinner plans! We came in for a light bite and some coffee, and it ended up being the perfect choice. I ordered a salted caramel decaf latte with almond milk, and my wife had a mocha with oat milk -- both were delicious, cozy, and beautifully crafted. For food, we shared a vegetarian sandwich on focaccia (mushroom Philly-style -- I forgot the exact name), but wow, it was amazing! The pickled onions, flavorful veggies, mushrooms, and that subtle hint of mustard all came together perfectly. We finished with the spiced potato cake, recommended by the staff, and it did not disappoint. It paired so well with my latte! We'll definitely be back again. Cheers! read more

This was absolutely amazing. Upon entry a little confusing. You're supposed to order by QR code but I didn't see it anywhere. Those are for the tables in the back. Not if you sit up front in the coffee shop. So I ordered online but guess I didn't need to. It smells amazing when you enter. This food is drop dead good. I can't wait to come back and try something else. Good thing it's a stones throw from where we are staying. My friend got the cashew vegan cheese whiz on broccoli with apple slices. And he was amazed. He's a cheese lover and normally doesn't like imitation cheese. I got the red fish open face with a tiramisu flavored cold brew. The food like I said was amazing. It was totally different than what I'm used to. Finished it off with buckwheat cranberry muffin. Holy $h!t. Normally I want to try new different places but I know I'll hit this place more than once this week. The place is so cool inside. Playing hip hop. Looks great. Exposed beams. Not too much stuff. Just enough. Shirts are only $20. * went for the second time this week. Got a smoked Turkey sandwich. It was the best one I've ever had. Smoked and peppered turkey on sourdough. You gotta try it. read more

Great time celebrating birthdays with OG yelpers last Saturday. The place: It's got a 50s diner vibe from the outside as viewed from MLK, but that opens into a vast outdoor beer garden with covered seating by way of permanent structures and folding umbrellas. The vibe: Austin laid back. Don't dress up. It's meant to be come-as-you-are. Great place to go with large groups of friends. The service: It's self-paced ordering via ToastTab. If you have a question about your order it's hard to flag down someone to ask. The menu resets with happy hour specials, but I was told sometimes you have to remind them. Food and drinks come out fast due to a highly competent kitchen. The food: At happy hour prices (everyday 3-6) you can't complain too much about the Waygu smashburger although it's awfully thin. The fries were crispy but unusually small. The drinks were good. The bakery items unfortunately were hit or miss. We got the lemon pound cake and it seemed like it did been at the pound for a few days--stale. The bakery ran out of some of the cookies while we were there. The prices: Again, happy hour is fantastic and makes up for some of the baked goods not at peak quality. The verdict: A keeper, especially at happy hour. read more
