Don’t go here for breakfast unless you want to be treated rudely and wait forever. Waitress right in front of us ignored us at the entrance. Walked by ignoring us again. Came back to the podium ignoring us again. I asked “are we going to get seated?”

A pint of beer served in a plastic cup? This is a sit-down, table service restaurant/bar priced accordingly. Serving micro brews on tap in a plastic cup is not classy.

I’m loath to post a negative review. As my mother said, if you don’t have something good to say, don’t say anything at all. But this has to be the worst run restaurant I’ve ever been to. We went back two days back to back. The first day it was not busy but yet the service took forever. The next day we went for a parent event, the kitchen and bar were so backed up, we could barely order a drink and they informed us that the restaurant was at least an hour out for anything. We had to leave and it was so backed up I couldn’t close my tab. So I asked the bartender what would happen if I didn’t close the tab and she assured me they would charge a 20% tip at most and shook my hand on it. I woke up to a 60% tip deducted this morning. Needless to say we will never be going there again.

Good atmosphere but a little loud. Service was terrible! Took over an hour to get 3 egg Benedicts 1 omelette and took 20 minutes just to get a coffee refill. We saw our food on the counter for 15 minutes but not a single waiter picked it up. Food was really good. Would highly recommend the original Benedict. The potatoes that come with it were a little hard but still tasty.

Wild duck, more like wild suck. Honestly do not go here. The staff are very rude and condescending, got our order wrong. Terrible vibes and service I would not come here again. Cocktails were pretty awful and then meal was almost as bad. Save your money and go elsewhere.

We were excited to try this, they have a good menu. Unfortunately it was a terrible experience. We chose to sit the the big table at the bar (actually a pool table with a cloth over it) as we were told it would be the fastest. Our party of 4 took over 1 hr and 20 minutes after ordering after waitress kept assuring us it was on the way. We saw several tables served before us that had arrived after us. Not sure what was happening in the kitchen, but she never once came by to tell us what was happening. In addition the the long wait and terrible service, the TVs were so loud that we had to scream to talk- no one was watching the baseball game why does crowd noise have to be playing at full volume a busy bar? Long story short worst $100 I ever spent. Now I know why they want you to tip BEFORE the “service”. Terrible practice.

New Wild Duck owners Charles Haasenritter and family, including his son Kilohana, a duck running back, have restored a traditional hangout while decades old stalwarts such as The Pad, Taylors and Duffy’s shuttered their doors. After joining the others and closing in 2022 after COVID, the Wild Duck reopened in September of 2024 with new owners, the Hassenritter family, who brought a new menu with Hawaiian selections and over 30 different other dishes from burgers and fries to eggs Benedict. A little after a year since reopening with the expanded menu, beer, wine and liquor selections and a number of new decorations including Ducks, scoreboards and other one of a kind memorabilia, the free parking has also been expanded making sitting under the famous mural featuring Ken Keysey and the Floydian Slip a must when I visit Eugene. At former Duck football coach Don Read’s remembrance in April, we gathered to remember 50 years ago below the mural and drank cold beer and ate delicious food, unlike the dorm food 50 years ago. We joined a Hall of Famer at the event I will always remember! Even though the crowd packed the place and our food took a while longer to arrive, every wing, fry, pretzel and artichoke dip bite was warm, crunchy and delicious. GO DUCKS!

Stopped in at Wild Duck Cafe and had a really good experience. I went with the jalapeno burger and it was very tasty, packed with flavor. The fries were nice and crispy, just how I like them. The atmosphere has a relaxed vibe and the service was friendly, which made everything smooth. Definitely a solid spot to grab a good meal.
