Review Ducks Eatery - New York City

Alvin Ho
Nice place, small menu but great service and food! Went with two friends and shared all the food. We had collard greens, the ribs, goat neck and dirty rice. All the food came quickly and was great. Music wasn't too loud either. Although the place can get cramped. Note, the restaurant can be difficult to spot from the sidewalk. Very easy to get to from the 1st avenue L train stop.

Good selection of meat options. Goat neck is their most popular dish and once you taste it, it's clear why. The meat is super tender, juicy, and flavorful. Sizing is definitely appropriate for two people. Unfortunately, we didn't order their famous watermelon ham though...

Great place for some good old BBQ dinner. Smoked brisket on Tuesday was awesome, and the dirty rise smoked lamb and smoked whole goat neck were simply delicious. We came here because of the BBQ watermelon internet meme, vegetarian BBQ, now that's a great innovation, but unfortunately you have to order it in advance. The tabe next to us had it though and it looked great! The cocktails and the Apple cider were also very tasty.

Went here for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed it. Their coffee is French pressed, juice is fresh squeezed, and the food is delicious. The staff is friendly and the service was relatively good. The only thing keeping it from being five stars is that it's a little pricey for brunch, and the food took quite a while to come out. Otherwise, this is a unique little place with and interesting menu and really good food.

Great little place....and my brunch was awesome! As always I start with a hot cup of coffee....pressed and divine! I asked the chef if he could do me a solid and make pancakes for me.....OMG, I got quite a few of them, silver dollar size and I ate each and every one of them....he got a great tip. I also had a side of andouille sausage...sliced open and grilled....can you say YUM??? Ok, ok......well I was happy with my meal. My sisters joined me and one had the avocado toast and the other had the poached eggs, thick cut bacon and awesome roasted potatoes! Can't wait to go back!

UNREAL! We came upon this restaurant as we strolled by and decided to stop in - so glad we did! The menu is small but with plenty of options. We had eggs benedict with the thickest cut bacon we've ever seen! Be warned - the dishes are hearty, big, and rich. We fell into quite the food coma when we came home! Service was excellent as well, and my delicious french press coffee was served so nicely! Worth a visit!

The most delicious food you can taste. No it is heaven. A small cute little restaurant in the lower East side that you easily miss but don't. You must try the goat neck. Like omg !!! Delicious.the pudding desert with the smocked cream .. like how did you think if it ??? Go go go.

Saw this had a decent review so decided to give it a go for brunch. The restaurant is decorated in the distressed look, not too large an inside space and some outdoor seating. Consequently, noise levels were fine to hold a conversation without needing to raise your voice. We started off with the Beignets & Chocolate, which were okay, but the Beignets weren't as puffed up or airy as we've previously had. Still not bad, very hard to go wrong with donuts and melted chocolate! For our mains we had the Benton's Bacon Benedict and the Benedict De Marie Laveau. Both looked practically the same, with the main difference being the meat and extra ricotta cheese in the latter. Both tasted lovely, especially liked the sweet potato home fries. Nice and crispy, rather than soft, which sweet potatoes tend to end up being. The service was fast, attentive and friendly. A nice place to go for a meal.

I’ve been dying to visit Manhattan for the sole reason to dine here again. I will never forget how amazing the food tasted and what an amazing experience it was. The tartar was to die for and is a must when it’s on the menu. The drinks were fantastic too.

I saw it on triple D and I went there llooking to try the same food that Guy got, I was a little sad that two of the dishes were out of the menu (you can not beat seasons) so we ordered some unexpected food and the goat neck... OMG, I have to come back... the goat neck was amazing!!! and the nori fried chicken was a beautiful discovery... Obviously, I need to double check the cocktails
Julie Qiu
Goats neck was superb. Nori chicken was excellent. Great drinks. Duck salad and garlic bread were okay.

If you're looking for a spot where you can eat seasonal fatty fall off the bone deliciousness and something new for your vegan friend go to ducks. This is rich good for the soul cooking.
Reed Whitmont
Well paired flavors that are bold enough to be interesting without getting in the way of the simply good food.

This is my third time eating a Ducks Eatery and it's always a pleasure every time I go. The brunch was on point.
Eve Chou
Great spot for dinner. You can get solid drinks and food. The brisket plate was shareable and definitely opt for the fatty brisket. The crust on the brisket was peppery just like it should be. Underneath the crust, you find the pink smoke line and that clog your heart fattiness. It's to die for, totally worth it. The trout salad was a nice complement, heavy on the dill. The dressing had a nice fresh brightness. The trout was flavored well and you can even finds bits of crispy skin. Wish it was in my neck of the woods.

Whole smoked suckling pig dinner w/ a group of 10ppl. Pros: This family style dinner comes with salad, rice and collard greens. The meat (pull pork style) was so tender and tasty, I also love the crispy pig skin. Friendly staffs and pretty good service. Cons: This is a small restaurant and tight spaces between tables. Not sure if it was because we went on a 3rd straight day of the summer heatwave, the place didn't seem to have strong enough AC. It was way too warm inside and we were all sweating during the whole dinner. However, I still give 4 stars because the good yummy food made up for it.

Great place & great staff! Very cool place to check out for a drink and apps or full entrees- they've got an unusual menu, but everything is delicious! Give it a try! I'll be back-

One of the best local places in Downtown Manhattan. Check their "Bites" menu for the Deez Nuts (no joke - highly recommended) and the Shrimp Chips. Their Red Beans ‘n Rice are exceptional... true Southern cooking and perhaps the best to be found here in NYC. Next on my list is their Smoked Brisket. Along with great 5-star food, the service is excellent, and don't be afraid to ask them for recommendations if you can't make up your mind. You won't be disappointed.

The Goat Neck was amazing!! This is from someone who does not eat Goat. Great staff and the Chicken Wings we're succulent and incredibly flavorful. Will definitely be going back.
Ryan Willard
One of the best restaurants in the city. The food is just as amazing as the vibe and service.
Christopher Roemer
The best brisket in NYC hands down. Will be a regular here any time I am in NYC. Service A+, drinks A+, food out of control
Tracey Starace
Fun, quirky, accommodating, great staff, goat neck didn't disappoint. Wings looked great . We will be back .
Josh Mazza
I don't want you to come here. I want to have elbow room while I'm pounding down the best wings in the universe.
James Cosenza
Always a favorite spot to hit. Suggest the duck and waffle and a duck buck to wash it down
Eric Alba
Incredible food, great drinks, and the best staff in the biz. Will and Julie are absolute gems!
Roger Romaine
Tiny place , zero room between tables. Very limited menu. Totally unimpressed. Would never go back.
Chris Rousseau
Only had dessert but everyone was so friendly and the dessert was amazing. Would definitely love to go back and try some of the entrees.
Andre R Robinson
Great food great people great staff. Will is a damn genius this guy is out of this world. I appreciate people like you for the gift of food.
Jack Canter
Everything was eff-ing delicious. Me and two other people shared the jerky, mussels, wings, ribs, and the goat neck. Goat neck was the highlight but everything was on point. I also enjoyed the laid back atmosphere and the ambiance. I'll be back next visit to NYC and will definitely spread the word.
Damian Smeaton
Smoked Goat Neck...... 5 Stars...... Best meal I had in NYC...... That is all.
Mohawk Drumlin
They make their own Pastrami. It is So. Incredibly. Delicious! Go eat!
Edmund Tu
This place was way overrated. Food was mediocre at best, but closer to disgusting. Refer to my review on Yelp.
Melanie French
Esteban is the best bartender I have ever had. Bar is fantastic. You must go here
