Odd Duck

At Odd Duck, we're passionate about serving an ever-changing globally inspired small plate and shareable menu featuring local ingredients. Our commitment to creativity, collaboration, and constant development has produced a dynamic and ever-changing restaurant that offers something for everyone - omnivores, vegetarians, and vegans alike. From our humble beginnings in the Bay View neighborhood to our current home in Walker's Point, we've remained dedicated to providing an exceptional dining experience.

Our Story

Odd Duck was born in early 2012 from the partnership of Milwaukee restaurant industry veterans Ross Bachhuber and Melissa Buchholz. Their vision was to create a space where people could come together to enjoy delicious food and great company. Over the years, we've built a reputation for our innovative menu and exceptional service. Today, we're proud to be a beloved Milwaukee institution.
