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

Sour Duck Market - SMOKED TURKEY SANDWICH - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

Showed up moments before an actual torrential downpour and still had a fantastic time so I hope that's evidence enough! The setup is cute and has a great indoor spot for a more intimate setting, and a covered patio or outdoor section for larger groups. They had music playing and all the staff seemed in good spirits. We got the brisket sandwich (GENUINELY PHENOMENAL- my only note will be to order extra mustard next time) and the gnocchi on special (also great but heavy on pecans for my taste). Hand cut fries were good and came with what seemed like a house made ketchup, but the flavor wasn't for me. My only other 'knock' was that the drink menu didn't have some of my staple favorites but I understand I'm in the minority there and I love that they support local. Also a fun touch was being able to buy a staff member a beer! Between service and quality they MORE than earned it, especially with the crazy weather. read more

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 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'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 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

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

Sour Duck Market - FISH 'N' CHIPS - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

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

Sour Duck Market - Double Waygu Cheeseburger and Fries - Bakeries Near Me - Austin, Texas

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

((((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

I dropped in here for a quick bite before going to a show at the Moody Center. You order from a QR code, and then they bring your food/drink. I ordered the $6 smash burger and an Arnold Palmer. The food was delivered quickly. My burger was very good. The brioche bun was soft and the burger had the crispy edges you expect from a smash burger. I sat outside, which had a nice vibe to it. I think next time I'll grab one of their pastries, because they looked delicious! read more

Food was great! I thought the price was great for an Austin location. I paid $40 for a taco, breakfast sandwich and burger. The food wasn't oversized but I felt satisfied. They have limited indoor seating but their outdoor space is set up with umbrellas, fans and water station. It's not really a place where they are serving you and checking in on you, you order online and they come to you. I went with my baby and the gravel wasn't too bad with the stroller. Parking can be tricky. Will be back to try their coffee. read more

Great spot for a pre-baseball game bite or drink. Parking options around the street and nearby neighborhood. There's plenty of seating in the bar area and in the backyard. They were quite busy, yet still managed to seat a table for 15 in ~20-30 minutes around 5pm on a Friday. Food and drink ordering is fast and all done through the QR code system. Plenty of local brew options and a solid happy hour (top pick for our table was the $9 for a double smashburger). Really appreciate the children's area to play and run around outside! Lots of shade and fans for sunny/warm summer days. 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

My husband and I came to the cafe side of the Sour Duck Market. We ordered Mushroom Philly Focaccia sandwich, salted Caramel Latte, Mocha Latte, and Sweet potato cake. Everything was very good. My husband and I both loved loved the focaccia sandwich, it was just amazing. And the coffees were very tasty as well. All the staffs were very nice and welcoming!

I can't think of anything to rock a star for. The food was great. Fresh and came very fast. Everything was delicious. We had the chicken sandwich, brisket sandwich, smash burger, kids smash burger, fries and queso. Everything was enjoyed! It's a cool concept. You scan the QR code on your table and when your food comes it just comes straight to your table. Their ketchup was unique and I'm guessing made in house. It was great! read more

I would give this [3.5] but espresso martini helped here to bump to [4]. I really enjoyed my espresso martini, it was surprisingly one of the better ones in town. As for the food, it was just okay..? There was nothing really eye-catching on the brunch menu, but the didn't have dinner menu available during brunch hours. Bummer. You order via a QR code at the table, and they would bring it over to you. Gotta get your own water at the station, just a heads up. The redfish toast was pretty fine. I also snatched a bite of the burger and it was just a burger. It was pretty good quality food, Restaurant was pretty busy on Saturday brunch but we got to have a table for two right the way! read more

Had a great early dinner at Sour Duck Market. We visited during happy hour and got burgers. I got it in the gluten free version which came in a bowl with plenty of lettuce, a pimento type cheese, awesome delicious homemade pickles and a smashed burger patty with cheese. It was delicious!!! I devoured my whole meal. Looked way better than the burger alone. Instead of fries, we ordered the pretzel with cheese which was also very tasty. Everything is ordered on a QR code so just find a seat. There's plenty of outside seating with two indoor areas either in the coffee lounge or bar area. While I enjoyed my food, the happy hour drinks were a gimmick. They took "mini" to another level. Absolutely bamboozled! Too bad. The margaritas were ok taste wise. read more

Came here for lunch yesterday with my boyfriend and we both really enjoyed the happy hour deals here. I got the double wagyu smash burger and it was very good! (it does not come with fries btw) I was very impressed by the quality of ingredients here. That being said, everything tasted very good but was so close to being great. I would say that their sauces could use a little bit of work and their fries were almost perfect but seemed a bit overcooked. I sound super picky writing this but I'm promise I'm not I really enjoyed the meal but me and my boyfriend both agreed that if they tweaked a few things it would be perfect. I also loved how much seating they have here and the service was great! read more

I've only gotten the pastries here but man, I thought I wasn't going to like it bc how picky I can be. I got one of their buckwheat muffins and it's so good and filling!! Picture for reference;) I only ordered for delivery so I'm not sure what the ambiance looks like or customer service. 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

Decent spot for brunch - for some reason, the name of this place gave me super fancy vibes; like new french cuisine impression, however, Sour Duck is a LOT more casual and does not serve any french food lol. They offer pastries as well as an assortment of american food. I wasn't too hungry so I only got the kid's wagyu cheeseburger, and it was solid. Good flavor in the patty, but the patty is a bit thin (perhaps also because it was kid's size). I like that you scan a QR code and place your order online - it allows a group order function, so everyone can submit what they want to the order! Very small parking lot, so be prepared to street park - should be able to find free street parking nearby without much issue. read more

I thought this was a really cute spot, that was able to accommodate my larger work group very well. The casual QR code ordering service made it easy to casually have people order for themselves as they wanted, and service was efficient. I just got their TX Farm Salad, and it was a really solid salad. The granola was a good source of crunch, and kept the salad gluten-free which I adhere to now. I took a peek at the pastries inside and their array was also quite impressive. The Russian honey cake I specifically haven't seen anywhere else in Austin, when it's really quite a treat I would recommend anyone try. They also have a solid happy hour which we were able to take advantage of. read more

GREAT place for happy hour. Cheap, good food and an awesome vibe! I got the $6 single burger and the $3 chocolate softer serve. The soft serve was pretty large too! My group of 3 shared it and was perfect. The burger was decent! Not my favorite, but well worth the experience. I would get it again! The soft serve was my fave. It's a steal! Great quality and quantity. I really enjoyed the pecan cinnamon roll. I would definitely recommend checking out the bakery after happy hour. read more

I had a group brunch here and really liked this place! I ordered the fried chicken hash and really enjoyed it. The chicken was tender and crispy. The potatoes were delicious and the tangy sauce was addictive. Others for the goat brunch special, the chilaquiles, and a burger. Everyone enjoyed their meals and drinks. This is a great place for groups since you all order and pay individually from a QR code. Even though we ordered at different times because we were talking, the food came out very fast that we still pretty much got our food together. There are two small parking lots and some street parking. I was lucky enough to get a spot in one of the lots but it was full when I arrived and cars were waiting for my spot when I left. read more

Some days call for fine dining. Other days call for a smash burger and a salty foam Paloma on a sun-soaked Austin patio. This is the latter -- and it delivers. Let's be clear: it's just a smash burger... but it's the kind that reminds you why smash burgers exist. Crispy, lacy edges. Juicy center. Perfect cheese melt. No unnecessary frills, just straight-up flavor done right. It's humble. It's confident. It's the main character. Pair it with one of their salty foam Palomas (because balance ), and suddenly you're living your best "unicorn weather in Austin, TX" life. The huge patio makes it even better -- plenty of space for your fur babies and your actual babies. And don't skip the honey cake. Layer after layer of flavor that somehow feels light and indulgent at the same time. It's the sweet little encore your smash burger deserves read more

The burger was one of the best burgers I've ever had it's really good and the breads good

You have to order with a QR code at the table, so you never have a server go up to you. wasnt sure how to get a refill, so I never got a refill. Never had anyone ask if everything came out okay, and the food runners didn't bother asking which plate belonged to who, they just sat it down and left. I wanted to get ranch cause their ketchup was gross, but again, nobody checked on us. I also didn't understand what the tip option was for unless you got an alcoholic beverage. I would not recommend going here. read more

This is a perfect place for casual dinner with friends. The outdoor patio is spacious and has sprinklers for hot summer days. Ordered the chicken burger, the smash burger and Samosa. Chicken was very crispy and cooked perfectly on the inside. Smash burger with the secret sauce was a hit too! The samosa was not a traditional samosa, but flaky pastry with potato filling. It was delicious! We also had a peach salad, and it was really good too. Service was quick. There are a lot of local beer options as well. I'll be back to try the pastries! read more

Stopped into Sour Duck Market for brunch and had a great time! We grabbed Wagyu burgers and split a bottle of champagne -- solid combo if you ask me. The burgers were juicy and flavorful, and the laid-back vibe made it even better.

Grabbed a quick bite at Sour Duck Market, and it was so delicious! The spot has a really fun atmosphere with both outdoor seating and indoor seating with a bar and cafe area. We went on a rainy day and were still able to sit outside comfortably without getting wet. The ordering process was quick and easy since you just scan a QR code and order directly to your table, and the food came out pretty fast! We ordered the fried chicken, which was fantastic. The chicken was perfectly crispy and juicy, served over a bed of sweet potatoes and topped with a fried egg. We also tried the kouign-amann and the honey cake. Both were great, but the honey cake was the standout! It had many layers, making it fluffy with the perfect hint of honey. We also ordered the Mexican latte, which was unique and had a subtle hint of chili. Overall, it had great vibes and really good food, definitely worth checking out!! read more

As always, Sour Duck is a hit! After the East Austin tornado/freak storm, I needed to find a place that had food, AC, and outlets to do some work, preferably indoors. Sour Duck fit the bill perfectly. Plenty of free parking in the little lot and the overflow lot out back, too. Sour Duck has outdoor seating, which is perfect for bringing your dog/pets, kids, families, or groups. The restaurant also has an indoor bar area with plenty of tables and barstools to sit at. This is completely enclosed, so the AC is pumping (in a really good way -- this Texas heat is no joke!). There are also outlets in several places, and there are always a few people WFH. Great atmosphere! Not quiet, but not noisy, either. Service is quick and friendly. There are QR codes on each table, so you can start your tab and get food delivered straight to the table. Wifi password is "sourdough" in lowercase :) read more
