I've only lived up in Fresno for about 7 months, but I have to say The Mad Duck is by far my favorite restaurant and it's not even close. The food and drinks are great, but what sets them apart is their incredible customer service especially the manager Savanna. She is always smiling and I applaud ownership for putting her in a leadership role. I would definitely consider her for an even higher position because she possesses all the qualities you want in management. I also have to say as far as servers go, Julia and Dani are absolutely fantastic. They are so welcoming and always make a point to come over and say hi and I think that's so important. If I could give more than 5 stars I would for the phenomenal service I get from those 3 employees. read more

Came here to have fried pickles and they made me so sad when they said they haven't had them for over a year. Bring them back please I am so Great server!!! read more

Totchos (tater tot nachos) for the win! They have separate meals available for lunch and dinner as well as a menu that runs all day. Pesto chicken & turkey club sandwich is great. Servers are always kind and friendly. This is their small location, take note of that! Overall a lovely experience at Mad Duck. read more

I have a new found love for mad duck and it has everything to do with the chicken Caesar wrap with crispy chicken. An easy place to pop into. This location is smaller than the others and gets busy at times, making it my least favorite location. But they have indoor & patio seating available. Chill, casual ambiance and a really good happy hour! read more

We visited mad duck on Saturday with a small group and really enjoyed ourselves. All of the food was good. We really enjoyed the calamari, fish tacos, and burgers we got. Our server was Adisyn and we absolutely adored her, we will definitely be back for our next family outing. read more

My absolute favorite location! Staff is always nice. Food is top quality and always fresh. The atmosphere is always chill and inviting. I've been coming here since it first opened, and it never disappoints. read more

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 read more

The service and environment was wonderful but the food was Meh! We got a burger which was $20, expected a decent burger but it was on cheep knock-off brioche bread, more like something you would get from Walmarts bakery and they used cheep velveta cheese on both burger and Philly cheese steak! Who would want cheep fake cheese on their $20 burger? Also had no flavor! Probably wont go back.... read more

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. read more

Love this place! Whenever we have guests from out of town, they always ask to go to Mad Duck! Just wish they didnt get rid of the Lulu Burger-- it was my favorite! read more

Sunday I went in to have dinner and my server named Malachi was so attentive. He was very friendly and made my experience very nice. I went in alone. So it was nice that he interacted with me. Also the food is always delicious. Great job Malachi . I train on customer service so it is always very pleasing to get exceptional customer service from businesses. read more

1st visit here was very nice. Great food, drinks and service. Comfortable setting. Will definitely be back!

Service was great. Food was good. Love the atmosphere but one thing that bugged me was one of the bartenders (not ours) with long dark hair and a butterfly tattoo decided to work her hair into a ponytail right at the bar area. It always grosses me out to see someone touching their hair and especially flinging it around near a food and bar station. It's just not sanitary. . I hate to give Mad Duck a poor score because it's a great place but management needs to set boundaries about what is allowed and what's not. read more

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. read more

This is the second time either myself or my husband has gotten food poisoning from the chicken here. Please do better

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 :) read more

So I got there at around 8:30, starving, and this filled me up pretty good. I got the steak bites which was seasoned to perfection and buttery. Tater tots are also a must. Even though they closed at 9, the kind waitress let us stay past closing. I'm only taking a star off because it's a bit pricey, otherwise a great meal. read more

after a bad experience I was contacted by the manager. He apologized for the service and made it right. I will give them another try.

We went to the Mad Duck for a late lunch and this place was amazing: great ambiance, great food, stellar service from our multi-tasking server Carissa. As soon as we walked into the door, we were greeted by Carissa. She took our order, delivered our food and drink, came by to check after us more than once, always with a radiant smile on her face while multi-tasking. Yes, Carissa was multitasking and handling it wonderfully. I wondered how Carissa could do all that and more. As a matter of fact she was the only person on the floor tending to all 7 parties there at the time, not to mention she also mixed drink (bartending) and answered the phone, even bussed the table for the next party . I observed her while eating my food and was amazed by her efficiency and her professionalism! She never stopped working! Only after we finished our food that another person joined Carissa on the floor, and the bartender came on his shift, probably back from his lunch break. We will certainly be back to the Mad Duck when we are back in Clovis again on our next business trip which is every two weeks! I would like for the Mad Duck manager or owner to take note of my comment and value Carissa as their "must-have" employee! For me the good food and great service come hand in hand. Good food alone is far from being enough if there's a lack of great service. read more

Tonight I visited Mad Duck and my server jesze was absolutely amazing he made sure we had everything we needed and was well knowledgeable on the menu, the food was also amazing and will definitely be coming back. read more

I have visited this restaurant a couple of times. Today, was exceptional! Dani & Savana were our servers. The food (Asian Chicken Salad, Cobb Salad & Gilroy Garlic Fries) Absolutely delicious!! The service was spot on. I also believe the pricing is a nod of acceptance as well. I recently returned to Fresno/Clovis after living in Phoenix. Happy to be living near this friendly establishment. Oh, the Central Valley is home to this senior. I'll be back!! Thank you Mad Duck!!! read more

Food is outstanding: Ahi lettuce wraps and chicken sandwich were great. Refreshing drinks and great variety. Service is friendly and efficient. Great for a group or a couple as there is ample indoor, bar, and patio seating. read more

BEST MAD DUCK EVER. I've being coming here for a long time. The consistency is amazing and the customer service is always great! The food is top notch as well as the ambiance. read more

Great local spot. We like this location over the one next to Fresno State just more welcoming in general. We come here often and the service is much more personal and welcoming. Today we tried the Sam's Buffalo Chicken Dip that our bartender Jorge recommended and it was sooooo tasty. Also the Ahi Poke Lettuce cups were fire!! The menu has some great options to choose from and it's like a treat every time we order something new. Only downfall was I was trying to watch a local baseball game and their remote controls were not working But will return again read more

I have been to the Clovis location several times and every time was worth the trip. The worst part of each time was deciding what delicious menu item to order. The one item on the menu I can't seem to get away from is their sweet potato fries with curry aioli. A few other favorites are the Walnut & Field Green Salad, Beet Salad and the Nashville hot chicken sandwich. The Deviled eggs are also pretty awesome. The restaurant seating and lighting are very pub-like and the staff are friendly, helpful and usually smiling. Please don't take my lack of beer review as a slight for the Mad Duck--I don't drink beer ...ever. read more

The dude and I decided to get Mad Duck for dinner around April 2020. As many restaurants due to COVID-19 no dine in is available only take out. This is the first time we tried out the Clovis location as we would frequent the one by Fresno State. Anywho, I called in the order which due to the pandemic they got rid of a lot of menu items like the Chef Pub burger which was my favorite. I got something similar but with Turkey patty as I don't eat beef. The dude got a burger as well which was beef. We also got their signature Blueberry Elderflower alcoholic beverage which serves two. Very delicious as always! We also got an order of ribs which was delicious but not the best but it was tasty! The dude who took my order was very patient but was not aware of some menu items and had to go check. Overall, the food is good as always! I do wanna try dine in once we are able to! Good food! You won't be disappointed at all! read more

Surprised I've never entered a review for this Mad Duck location-been here many times. Great for parties of 2 maybe 4, if you have a bigger group try their location at Campus Point close by. Our most recent visit was in May 2023 -Monday afternoon beers and tater tots. Delicious tater tots! Tried one of their seasonal spring beers-great! Good service sitting at the bar, we got there right at opening time. There Buffalo chicken dip is so good! Deviled eggs are great too. Great place to stop after/before Target shopping too, in the same shopping center. read more

Love The Mad Duck. Beer is good, staff is great food is always good (one exception). Lulu burger is a favorite with us, steak bites and reveled eggs are great little meals for those low carb-ing it. I've been eating there for years and have only had one thing on the menu to disappoint me, twice. The French Dip has a very odd taste. Not only that, first time I had it most of the meat was inedible, mostly gristle. Waitress gave me a new one after asking why I hadn't eaten it. New one had better quality meat but still the odd taste. Flash forward about a year... forgot I didn't like it and ordered it again at lunch with my wife. Still odd taste, no gristle. But I still couldn't eat it. Pretty horrible actually. So, I really do like the place, just pass on the French Dip. I hope I remember that I should pass on it next time. Getting old sucks. read more
