We love it here!!! We had the fish and chips, steak medallions, and bison burger. Appetizer was the giant pretzel and sausage. Dessert we had the toffee brownie. Incredible! Our waitress Juliana gave great suggestions. We went with every suggestion and weren’t disappointed.

Food is absolutely fantastic! The service was also just as excellent. We had the fish and chips and brew house burger. They were both amazing. The ambiance was perfect. Don't pass up the old geezer pecan ale!

I was very impressed with this restaurant. It is a true gem and worth making a quick detour if your in the area. Craft brews made in house and fantastic food. Indoor and Outdoor seating, just across the street from the walking trails by the creek. The Duckomo Tropical Ale was a stand out. The Panini, Salad and Fried Green Tomatoes were all exceptional. I will definitely stop by again to try more of the menu.

Absolutely incredible vegan burger, full of flavor, perfectly cooked, and super satisfying. You’d never guess it’s plant-based. Friendly staff and great vibes too. Highly recommend!

Came here on a Saturday afternoon with a large party. We didn't have reservations, but was luckily able to be seated within a few minutes at an outside table. There is less seating inside, so that would've been about a 30 minute wait. It was hot, but there's fans everywhere to help cool it down. Service was very friendly. Started off with a few drinks and a beer Flight as they had a nice selection of beers on tap. Also, had some Shishito Peppers and Fried Green Tomatoes for the table. Those were great to share and a good start to the meal. For the meal, ordered about 6 different dishes ranging from a burger to a salad to seafood. Surprisingly, all were very good, but my surprise favorite was the Fish & Chips. I would've been happy with any dish though. For dessert, ordered the Brownie and Creme Brulee. Once again, both were good. It was nice sitting outside enjoying some good food and drinks.

Great, cozy, little spot for a nice lunch. We arrived a few minutes after they opened and got right in. By the time we left, about 12:30, they were pretty full. We started with the giant pretzel and sausage. There were 4 of us, and it was early, so it was plenty for an appetizer. Everything was fresh and tasted great. Definitely try the fish & chips. It was perfect!

My wife and I had an absolutely wonderful evening at The Dodging Duck Brewhaus. The service was phenomenal — friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming from start to finish. Our server made us feel right at home and never missed a beat. The food was fantastic. The Reuben was stacked perfectly and full of flavor, the burger was cooked just right, and the homemade-style chips and mashed potatoes were a great touch. And that dessert… unreal. Rich, warm, and indulgent — the perfect ending to the night. The atmosphere is cozy and relaxing, especially on the patio with the lights and heaters. It made for a perfect night out together. We’ll definitely be back. Highly recommended!
