Thirsty Duck

Not busy. Great bartender and great music. Very friendly 😁

This is the typical hole-in-the-wall local hang out with great food so do not expect 5 star accommodations. However, the Duck far exceeds your typical bar food. It was great to have a place where you could eat and listen to a live band. The staff did a great job making sure we were taken care of and kept the food and drinks flowing. We can't complain about the amount of food or drink you get for the price. I was not expecting much from the outside but when have you ever found a dive bar with Duck Bacon Wontons? 5+ stars on the wontons by the way!

On the bad side though, it was somewhat disappointing to have such good quality food and a unique place with menu choices were somewhat lackluster. I travel a lot for work and I have eaten all over at diners all over the US. This place is so close to going next level if they could develop their menu just a bit more. There were some great and unique choices like the duck strips, duck bacon wontons and everyone raved about the Cajun alfredo. After that, the uniqueness of the menu kind of went flat. Best fried pickles I have ever had though!

With that being said, everything we had was excellent and very good quality. I had the Prime Rib Stacker and my wife had a HUGE burger that was very good. I would definitely go back and recommend you check it out. It is unique to Sioux Falls. With a town so full of chain diners and restaurants where all the food taste the same, the Duck is a good find. I love finding spots where my hard earned money supports the locals. Keep up the great work!

I love this bar duck tenders are a must if you never have tried them always a good time
