Odd Duck

Farm-to-table dinner restaurant built on locally sourced ingredients, with a wood-fired grill and a menu that rotates with the season.

Odd Duck is a dinner restaurant opened by brothers Bryce and Dylan Gilmore, who started as a food trailer in 2009 with a mission to serve only food made from locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant grew out of that trailer, earning Bryce national recognition as a chef and helping put Austin's local food scene on the map. The dinner menu features dishes like fried quail with boudin, braised goat pizza, pork belly chalupa, blackened redfish, and grilled wagyu, alongside desserts and a full cocktail, beer, and wine program. Odd Duck is a sister restaurant to Barley Swine and Sour Duck Market. Reservations are accepted, and no takeout is currently offered.

Odd Duck was founded on a commitment to sourcing ingredients exclusively from local farms, a principle that dates back to its origins as a food trailer. Bryce Gilmore has sourced whole hogs from a local farm and used them snout to tail throughout the week. He sources eggs from a local farmer he has worked with since the trailer days, and was an early regular at Austin's Saturday farmers market at a time when local farmers did not yet sell wholesale to restaurants. Named farm and producer partners include Richardson Farm, Broken Arrow Ranch, Flameleaf Farm, Barton Springs Mill, Good Flow Honey, Texas Olive Ranch, Mill-King Market & Creamery, Houston Dairymaids, Windy Hill Farm, and others.
