About The Mad Duck
Hand-packed patties of ground beef, lamb, and turkey are little more than a blank slate for The Mad Duck's chefs. From there, they can build 11 different burgers, accessorizing the flame-grilled patty and freshly baked bun with everything from melted brie and dried cranberries to bacon and crispy onion rings. This commitment to forging distinctive and occasionally inventive burgers exemplifies the same creative spirit found on the wider menu, where finger foods and iconic pub cuisine gain refinement through small touches like chimichurri mayonnaise, curried aioli, and imported Martian truffles. Exposed brick walls, soft pendant-lamp lighting, and an extensive selection of craft beers and potent cocktails also echo the menu’s blend of classic and modern, producing a pub experience that draws upon the best parts of old-fashioned coziness and new-fangled deliciousness.
