Blue Duck Deli — Restaurant in Ludlow

We were in the area looking for a brunch spot and found this place. The exterior was very cute and quaint; loved the garden out front with huge sunflowers and various flowers. There was a parking lot but we had already parked on-street prior. The interior was cute; there was a cafe and a few tables. On the other side was the kitchen area; they brought out the food to us on the cafe side. The place got busy after we got there; seems to be a hot spot for lunch.

We got there around 10:50, they weren't serving food until 11. This was fine since they served coffee and that was priority to us at that time. I had a medium iced maple latte and it was good. For my meal, I had the chicken and waffles sandwich which were decent; there was crispy fried chicken, cole slaw, in between freshly made fluffy waffles. It was overall decent, but something was missing; I think that was some maple syrup or some hot sauce. My child had the fried Mac and cheese donut; it's a Mac and cheese shaped into a donut; this was good and a cute way to present food. Overall, a good spot to get some...

I was blessed so have two turns at the Blue Duck...I was there for their Opening Night - 5 course Chef's tasting and I hosted my husband's birthday dinner there last night for our closest friends and children. They didn't disappoint for either event. The food, the presentation, care in which it is all put together is more than amazing. Bex and Craig put so much thought into everything they do...I ask that we sing to three people, we didn't just sing, they made three separate cakes, so that each person felt as special as my husband, as special as the care given to each course. The waitstaff, is the same...The fact that they can pull off salads and sandwiches during the day and switch to tablecloths and cocktails (with a full bar) at night is amazing. If you don't get a table there, and we let this gem slip out of Ludlow's finger's we will miss out on one of the most talented chef's this area has ever seen. I can't wait until the Patio is open and I hope they forever keep a table...

Our first time enjoying a lunch at Blue Duck. First of all, the atmosphere and setting is gorgeous with fresh flowers and spacious seating. I chose the Squash Buckler Salad, fully loaded with delicious fruits, Veggies, seeds, and greens. Amazing. My husband chose The Uncle- shaved Robbie Farms beef with ample toppings and fresh bakery focaccia. Amazing as well! Make a plan to go. The hostess and co- owner greeted us and shared their background story from 2023 flood survival to a total remodeling. Plan to go! It’s a...
