"Odd Duck is one of the highest-rated restaurants on our site, and it’s Austin’s original trailer-to-restaurant success story. There’s a distinct Texas twang to everything about Odd Duck, which helps to separate it from the 10,000 other “farm-to-table” small plate restaurants that have popped up across the country since the mid-2000s. And the menu changes constantly, so no two visits are ever going to be the same. How to get in: Reservations here aren’t too difficult to get, but if you want to secure ideal seating during SXSW, you should probably grab something now. " - nicolai mccrary
