The Black Duck is a unique gem of a restaurant, hidden away but well worth seeking out. The staff is friendly and accommodating, adding to the charm of the place. With a rich history as a former barge from the Lincoln presidency era, the restaurant has a quirky lean that only adds to its appeal. Customers rave about the whole belly clams and oyster po' boy sandwich, while the atmosphere and live music make it a favorite spot for locals and visitors alike. The bartenders are attentive and the service is top-notch, with standout servers like Laurie who go above and beyond to ensure a pleasant dining experience. Overall, the Black Duck is a must-visit destination that truly captures the essence of good food and good times, Black Duck Cafe usually has an average rating of 3.5.
