Sour Duck Market

It's fine. Nothing I would go out of my way to have again. If I lived in the area and it was in walking distance, I would probably go there as a 3rd place. Great atmosphere.

Sour Duck Market in Austin absolutely knocked it out of the park. I ordered the Peeler Farms Wagyu double smash burger and it was unreal. Two perfectly smashed wagyu patties with incredible flavor, melty American and pimento cheese, crisp pickles, and their secret sauce all tied together on a soft challah bun. Every bite was balanced, rich, and insanely satisfying without being over the top.

The season fries were just as impressive. Perfectly crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and seasoned exactly right. They held up great with the burger and were impossible to stop eating.

This was hands down one of the best burgers I have ever had and easily top three of my life. If you are a burger fan and in Austin, Sour Duck Market is a must visit.

Stopped by for lunch with a friend and ate in the second building (the one with a bar). Place was pretty slow so we got our food pretty quick which is great! Ordering and payment is done using a qr code/ your phone which is convenient, no talking to staff unless ordering a drink form the bar. I got the wagyu burger, fries and the pretzel to share with my friend. The burger was decent but not great for $15 (just the burger) the fries were amazing however, I could live without the pretzel it was kind of stale. We did end up grabbing coffee in the other building next door and it was excellent. Could definitely see myself swinging by to grab another cup but not to eat.

First time at Sour Duck Market, and it was such a great stop before our dinner plans! We came in for a light bite and some coffee, and it ended up being the perfect choice.

I ordered a salted caramel decaf latte with almond milk, and my wife had a mocha with oat milk — both were delicious, cozy, and beautifully crafted.

For food, we shared a vegetarian sandwich on focaccia (mushroom Philly–style — I forgot the exact name), but wow, it was amazing! The pickled onions, flavorful veggies, mushrooms, and that subtle hint of mustard all came together perfectly.

We finished with the spiced potato cake, recommended by the staff, and it did not disappoint. It paired so well with my latte!

We’ll definitely be back again.
Cheers! 🥂

We had plans to visit NADC when I stumbled across a Reddit post listing Sour Duck as one of the places in Austin that had much better burgers, so naturally we pivoted and went--I don't know if it's better, but it's delicious and their fries are outstanding. Definitely not average!

i lazily ordered two loaves of bread to my hotel from here and loved them both. got the sliced seeded sourdough and the baguette. the baguette really impressed and the organic flour sourdough was rich and tangy, just the way sourdough should be! didn’t expect austin to have such a gem, but then, i would have known!

This place is so quaint and has very delicious food. The fries were well seasoned and the Smoked Turkey Sandwich was Devine! We went for Happy Hour and the sandwich was not on Happy Hour but we split it and we were satisfied. They make the turkey there, and the bread. Ben was at the bar and really was so friendly. He told us all about the food and he really was passionate and proud to serve such great food. The other bartenders- sorry, I didn’t get their name - but super friendly. I love this place and will tell all my friends.

I’ve been going here for years and the food is always amazing, and the staff genuinely cares about the food and the restaurant, and hence the customer experience. Easy to seat large crowds in a come and go basis so excellent for meetups and happy hours, or a quick delicious lunch for two inside the back bar.

Popped in for some breakfast as my partner and I were headed out of Austin and im so glad we stopped through! My partner got the breakfast taco, it was so good she went back to order a second! I got the breakfast sammy and an order of fries with the most amazing ketchup (im assuming housemade) I've ever had. The breakfast tacos have a very layered but balanced flavor, the milder cheese option works better here. The breakfast sammy (sausage) was well seasoned - the fresh onion, arugula blend and cilantro avacado sauce were just that added touch of creamy, herby flavor. The fries were most definitely cooked in beef tallow and tossed in a zesty seasoning blend. We also got a cocktail and a tequila sunrise, both were delicious. The atmosphere was cozy and if I lived in Austin id go back for dinner and some cold beers on the spacious patio area. When im back in town, ill most certainly be visiting the restaurant again.

Let me tell you about my first impression. I walked into this little gem and was immediately blown away by the sweet aroma of fresh bread and coffee. As a cozy girl who loves to coffee-hop around Austin, I can confidently say this will be my new go-to spot.

Not only was the food amazing, but the people. I was warmly welcomed by the baristas, and the open kitchen concept was such a neat touch. I ordered the spicy chicken sandwich, and it was the perfect level of spice: flavorful, enjoyable, and crispy in all the right ways. Every bite had me thinking, “Yeah… I’m definitely coming back.”

And the fries? Oh, the fries. Not just salted, actually seasoned with a delicious blend of spices. I scarfed down that sandwich so fast I didn’t even have leftovers to take home.

You’d think that was the end of it, but no. I treated myself to a slice of their honey cake, and it was instant serotonin. After six hours of studying, that slice genuinely revived me. Honestly, if they made it as a whole pie, I’d choose it as my birthday cake next year.

To top it all off, one of the managers, Justin, noticed my pure bliss and surprised me with a box of pastry samples. I know it sounds dramatic, but it genuinely made me tear up. It’s the small things.

Thank you, Sour Duck, for making my Monday a whole lot more tolerable and the kindness that reminded me how a simple gesture can make someone's day.
