Partick Duck Club Reviews Summary

Food Quality

Pros:

• "The food was absolutely delicious, the duck more or less fell off the bone and such a tasty sauce."
• "Brilliant brunch location although choosing between the mouth watering menu options is quite hard."
• "Food was unreal couldn’t fault anything, Duck was fall off the bone and the burger was banging toddler even ate my salad."
• "The food is awesome 👌 So enjoyed the duck bun and the duck fat friend chips were a little bit of heaven."
• "Duck is a rich and flavourful meat and difficult to cook in order to bring these flavours out. The Duck Club does it right."
• "Very impressed with the food! Quality ingredients, beautifully cooked and presented."
• "All three courses I had were absolutely fantastic! The Orkney crab and cheese custard with the sourdough was flavourful without it being too rich."
• "The food is high quality and excellently executed, there's seasonal rotation in the menu, and the combinations are creative."

Cons:

• "Sorry but we felt totally fleeced.... Shockingly stingy portions."
• "Service is a little bit distanced but friendly. Duck bun burger bbq is too spicy to taste the special meat. Meat was a little bit dry."
• "Starters we had the Cheese souffle, and boneless wings. The Soufflé was lovely, boneless wings were ok."
• "Food good, bit overpriced. Cooked breakfast almost £15 tea not included, but nicely presented."
• "Nice enough but the food isn’t as good as they seem to think and we honestly found it overpriced for the quality."
• "Too expensive in my opinion. Stopped for a glass of wine with the sister and grandkids, £50...won't be back."
• "Burger was tasteless unfortunately, Ndjua sauce tasted like cold tinned tomatoes with no seasoning... Not a good plate of food."
• "Disappointing service: we arrived for breakfast with our son in a pram and couldn’t have been made more unwelcome."

• "The only thing I’d say is that our booth was very small - quite uncomfortable at times."
• "The card machine was down so left sitting again the waitress apologetic and nothing from the manager until I asked."

Ambiance and Location

Pros:

• "Wonderful breakfast if you want something a little different."
• "Beautifully presented and deliciously flavoursome breakfast which we ate whilst sitting outside the restaurant."
• "This place was fantastic when it first opened but now has gone weirdly fusion and only has 2 duck dishes on the menu."

• "A massive improvement on the old bar that this replaced, and my new favourite place for brunch!"

Cons:

• "I didn't think it was worth the money compared to other places nearby."
• "Very good ambience, staff were attentive and tried hard to accommodate a strict vegan, which she did!"
• "Its great!! Went in today and the staff were super attentive and friendly, the food was insane."

• "Disappointing service: we arrived for breakfast with our son in a pram and couldn’t have been made more unwelcome."
• "Despite showing up with no booking, we had a short wait at the bar area before we were given a table."
