“A Consistent Favorite”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed July 10, 2012

We've been enjoying the Mad Duck for a couple of years after they dropped a Groupon and we discovered them. Great burgers and especially great Cobb Salad which can be split between two (this is what my daughter and I do and then split a sandwich). Really great selection of beers and an upbeat, energetic atmosphere. Never disappointed here. It is extremely noisy so if that is an issue, save it for a day when it doesn't matter. I'm not up for the noise all the time and you can always count on it. They have a nice outdoor area for dining but usually someone is smoking so it's not really for the non-smoker. Dining inside keeps this from being an issue.

“Cozy Pub/Restaurant with Delicious Food”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed April 4, 2012

My husband invited me to join him for lunch at this place. It was our first time there, and we will gladly come back in the future. The place was not busy at all, for it being lunch time during the week, so we were seated right away. There's a wide variety of appetizers, from fried pickles, chicken strips, sweet potato fries to deviled eggs. I chose the steak bites with chimichurri sauce, which is an appetizer, along with french fries. The steak was perfect "bite" size and an ideal size lunch for one. The sauce is so good I dipped my fries and steak into it. My husband ate the spicy shrimp baguette sandwich. It wasn't spicy at all, and the shrimp was drizzled with a marinade sauce that's also inside the sandwich. Yum!
We're so happy we ate here and look forward to visiting again! Good times!!
ps...It's a perfect place to grab a bite while shopping in the adjoining shopping center on Herndon and Willow.

“Good burger, but small!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 19, 2012

My first time here, the food was good, but the burgers are small. I expect more beef for a $9 burger. The small fries were plenty to share, and very tasty. The service was good and friendly. Overall a nice place, just need to make the burgers bigger!!
