White Duck has some very unique tacos, and most are delicious. Some of our group were less adventurous in their tastes and were frustrated by the lack of more conventional options.

The food is always great here. Unfortunately, our family had a terrible experience with one of their staff member, Lily. She is incredibly disrespectful and rude. Great experience if you don't run into her. Everyone else is lovely!

I'd give it 5 stars. The atmosphere is great; bordering on the Johnson City Railyard. The food was impeccable (more please!) And service with a Tennessee smile!

We really like the food. It seems like the staff behind the counter feel like they are a little too cool to be working there, but don’t let that bother you. It’s a fun place!

Well now, I reckon I oughta begin by sayin’ that when a man’s been drivin’ clear across this grand nation with three rambunctious young’uns in the back hollerin’ over who touched whose elbow, and a wife growlin’ about the gas station beans in Arkansas, a good taco can feel like salvation in tortilla form. That’s precisely the brand of miracle we found at a little joint by the name of White Duck Taco Shop.
Now don’t let the name fool you — ain’t no duck with an apron waddlin’ around servin’ you, though I admit I wouldn’t’ve minded that one bit. What is there is a menu that reads like a travelogue written by a hungry pirate. Chicken tikka masala tacos? Shrimp po’boy? Steak-and-cheese that’d make a Philly boy cry into his soft pretzel? Lord have mercy, even the duck taco had me questionin’ the moral uprightness of poultry.
My wife, who has developed a sort of holy reverence for legumes, declared — between bites and narrowed eyes — that the beans were transcendent. And let me tell you, when a woman uses that word for food, you better believe angels are somewhere singin’.
It’s the kind of place where kids get quiet — not from threat or bribe — but from sheer chew-induced bliss. A rare and blessed silence. For that alone, I’d’ve given ‘em a medal.
So if you find yourself somewhere between Where-the-Hell-Are-We and the Eastern Seaboard, do yourself the decency of stopping at White Duck Taco. It’s a fine respite for the weary traveler, the picky child, and the wife who’s done enough car parenting to deserve beans that move the soul.

This is our favorite go-to place! Food is great, beer is great (Yee-Haw Beer is in the same building), and the atmosphere is great! We're able to relax while the kids have a little bit of space to mess around outside. When it's cold and the fire is going it's the best!

All the tacos are à la carte, either 4.75 or 5 bucks. They always have adventurous flavor profiles. I’ve not experienced a bad meal here, and Yee Haw is next door. Beer and live music most every night.

We love this place and go several times a month. I get the fish taco and chips and queso and a Vol lager from Yeehaw. Love being outside, very chill, food comes out fast. Pretty affordable.
Great food and adjoining the brewery which made things fantastic.

Some of the tacos are fantastic but others are not that great. I'd eat there again, but I'd definitely make sure you pay attention to what you are getting.

Shrimp Po Boy tacos were the definite favs of both of us! Pork BBQ taco was good. Great evening to sit outside for tacos and Yee Haw beer! Thanks Johnson City for a great week!
