On January 12, 2023, my husband and I met a friend at Mad Duck in Clovis, CA. We arrived at 6:30PM. The restaurant/bar is located within a shopping center and is surrounded by a sandwich shop, Starbucks a cellular phone store, and other retail stores. The parking lot directly on front of the restaurant was full, but there was ample parking around the side/back of the building.
Upon walking in, I felt comfortable and enjoyed the ambiance. It was very small and cozy. There are a handful of booths, a handful of high-top tables, and a bar area for seating. There are a few televisions around the perimeter. Music could be heard faintly. All tables had been taken, so I started for the bar, where there were three or four chairs open. My husband observed a waitress cleaning one of the booths, and we decided to wait for that instead.
Our waitress was very nice and attentive, for the most part. We did have to flag down another waiter and waitress during our stay in order to receive attention. That was due to just how busy it was. The menu choices were limited. There were appetizers, salads, burgers, and sandwiches. There were few plated entrees. We asked about the advertised "select cocktails" that were on special for the day. The waitress did not know exactly which cocktails were included with the special.
For drinks, I ordered a Manhattan, and my husband had one of their IPAs. The waitress called it the Standard IPA; however, it was listed as IPA. For food, we ordered a bacon cheeseburger and a broccoli salad. My husband really liked his beer. My Manhattan was a little weak in the alcohol department. The food was good, though. Our friend ordered a spicy chicken sandwich, which my husband and I tried. It was spicy, very crispy, and delicious.
We enjoyed our dinner and drinks at Mad Duck Clovis. We would definitely return.
