    Cheeseburger and fries
    Elena P.

    Service was amazing. Food is great. The Korean portal is spicy and tasty. Burger is done to perfection. Fries are good as well. Would highly recommend.

    Had to call multiple Mad Ducks to find Honey Pot in stock as they are again struggling to stock beer. Was excited to find Clovis had it. Surprised to find the new service fee they are charging...... where is the discount for every-time we dine and can't get the beer we wanted because it's out of stock? Come on guys no one is coming in for the food. We come in for the beer.

    Almond Brown Ale

    One of my favorite places to enjoy some very tasty food and beverage, living close by is a convenient bonus ;-) This day I treated myself to a fantastic lunch because of a healthy update from the doctor sooo I ordered something special, the tacos were very delicious and the Pub Ale was and is my current favorite, service was quick (I sat at the bar) and being familiar with the menu aided in my ordering, they had sports and movies rolling and the decor is reflective of the diversity of those who regular this business...I like it here

    Ceviche
    Rochelle D.

    I've been frequenting Baby Duck since they first opened. I love the personalities of each of the locations but I like this one most if I'm in between meetings but don't want to go home...I pop into this location to grab a bite, cocktail, and work on my laptop. I enjoy ordering off the monthly specials menu to switch it up. This visit I had the ceviche with plantain chips. It was the perfect amount for me to finish there without feeling like I had too much. The flavors were so good and I loved the combination with the plantain chips! The bartenders are always friendly and although I didn't get a cocktail this time, I feel like I've tried most of that list and you can't go wrong with anything :)

    Goat cheese plate 7-27-23
    Sara B.

    Came here with a group of 5 for drinks and some food. I ordered a pineapple passionfruit milk punch. It was pretty good. I then ordered a pretzel for an appetizer and bread pudding to share. Coworkers got the goat cheese plate and calamari. The pretzel tasted stale. Like it had been in the freezer awhile. But I still ate it! The calamari was quite generous portion from my previous experiences of ordering it at the Marks/Herndon location. And the goat cheese plate looked amazing. I tried a few pieces of the dried apricots. They primarily have beer for drinks but they had a few wines available. I wish more breweries would take us wine drinkers into consideration. They did not have any Moscato on menu and no sangria. Their only margarita was not a blended one, just on the rocks. But the pineapple drink I got was sweet enough for me. Bread pudding was heated through and tasty. Are servers were prompt and friendly. They made sure our drinks and water were full.

    Cute little table for two the kids sat at

    Came here after two cities marathon. Service and food were fantastic. Loved the ambiance and the waitress let our kids sit at their own kids table! 10/10 recommend.

    soooooooo delicious!

    I always love coming to Mad Duck. I have been a patron for years now! I just saw there's a second location, which is awesome. I highly recommend everything on the menu. You can't go wrong!

Parking is exactly what you'd expect for downtown, so just make sure you lock your car and don't leave anything visible. We went around 5 PM on a Thursday. It started fairly quiet and gradually got busier throughout the evening, but it never felt overcrowded. They do have a rule that if there's a waitlist, your time may be limited to about two hours so they can seat other guests, which is reasonable for a place like this. The drinks were fantastic. I honestly didn't have a bad drink all night. They offer cold drinks, room temperature drinks, hot drinks, and just about every type of spirit you can think of. The cocktails are very creative, and the bartenders will actually warn you ahead of time if a drink has flavors they think you might not like, which I appreciated. The bartenders were excellent and really knew what they were doing. We had a spicy margarita, mojito, whiskey smash, an ube cocktail, and a few others, and all of them were great. Prices were fair for the quality, creativity, and overall experience. Not cheap, but definitely not overpriced either. One thing I really respected was that they had Narcan and fentanyl test strips available on-site. You don't see that often, and it shows they actually care about people's safety. If you're looking for craft cocktails in Fresno, this place is definitely worth visiting. I'll definitely be coming back.

We were greeted immediately and asked for a reservation as this place was packed! It thinned out about 10 minutes to closing as they were still seating people. Anywho, our server was ever attentive.

The compound tofu was very flavorful. It wasn't mushy. The tofu was firm and all the seasonings paired well with it. The dude enjoyed his meal with the steak and purple rice. The rice was pretty good. I did not try the steak as I'm not vegetarian. But he really enjoyed it as it was butterfly pea rice. Our cocktails were delicious. Balanced not too sweet. It hit the spot. We were very impressed with this place and really enjoyed our time here all the flavors popped in every dish we had was delicious even the appetizer of the spring rolls. Very crunchy light and not greasy. Overall, this was a great spot to grab a delicious meal, date night, or celebrate. I would come just to come again definitely will be back.

Overall, the menu leans a bit outside of the traditional Thai flavors I'm used to, which made the experience interesting and different. The space itself is beautiful and makes it a great spot for a dinner date or a night out. The staff was also incredibly friendly and welcoming, which always makes a difference. I'm already eyeing the drink menu for next time Overall, it was a great experience and everything was beautifully plated. I'd definitely come back to explore more of the menu--especially dishes with bolder, more pronounced flavors.

We had no idea what to expect, but it ended up being such a fun night. There were five of us in our bay, and from the start the staff was super attentive. Since it was our first visit, they walked us through how everything worked and made sure we were comfortable using the system. We had a couple small hiccups figuring things out, but every time someone came by, they checked in, helped us out, and made sure we were good. The bay system itself is really cool lots of sensors and very interactive. That first swing is a little intimidating because you're not sure how hard to hit or where the ball will go, but once you realize you can swing freely and the system tracks everything, it's actually a blast. We ordered food, and honestly, sometimes bar-style places are hit or miss with food but not here. Everything was really good. We ordered sliders, onion rings, bruschetta, and it all came out hot and tasty. My daughter also ordered about three or four Shirley Temples and everyone kept checking in on refills and food. We had the bay for an hour we did not know what to expect but we could have booked it for more time! During our hour were given a heads-up when we had about 10 minutes left, which we appreciated. We actually went a little over while waiting for help moving our food to the dine-in area, and they were very kind about it no rushing us at all. After the bay, we moved to the dine-in area, finished eating, and chatted with our server, who was incredibly friendly and genuinely excited about the place. He explained memberships, told us about the upstairs lounge, and even allowed us to glance around. The upstairs area overlooks the bays and bar and would be great for events or just hanging out it's a really nice setup. The space itself is deceiving from the outside. It looks small, but once you're inside, it's very spacious with deep bays and plenty of room. Noise level was perfect not too loud, music was at a great volume, and we could easily talk, order food, and enjoy the experience. They also host games and fights, with TVs at the bar. As we were leaving, the kids tried the putting area, which was another fun surprise. It has laser-style visuals that show where your ball is going, and they loved it. We probably spent another 10 minutes there just letting them enjoy it. Overall, from the games to the food to the service, everything was excellent. We left with leftovers, happy kids, and a great experience. It's been a long time since we've had service this attentive, and we truly appreciated it. We'll definitely be back. Additionally the decor and vibe is really nice inside! Classy upscale location.
