The Duck Dive ⭐ 4.2 (1,261)

Duck Dive is a gem! The adobo chicken tacos were hands down the best tacos I’ve ever had. The cucumber lemonade was so delicious and refreshing—perfect pairing with the meal. The atmosphere is fun and inviting, with TVs for games, and the staff made the experience even better. Definitely a new favorite spot!

While I like to be in PB during the week and never been to their weekend brunch, this is one of my go-to spots! The chicken tenders are ( in my opinion) the best in all of San Diego! I recently learned they hand bread them to order which explains why they’re so good. Their cocktail list is really extensive -both with classics and their own signature concoctions. Always great service, especially when Lauren or Michi are bartending! 10/10

There are no words strong enough to say how disappointed I was in this place. Tonight my father, who is visiting from out of town wanted to visit this spot for the 1st Nebraska football game of the season. He found the place online & was so excited about it. From the moment we walked in we were met with rude & unhelpful staff. we were told we could sit outside or at the bar. There was one option for outside but no tv was visible, so we sat at the bar. After sitting down, a male bartender starting telling us we’d have to stand because that spot was reserved, despite there being no sign or indication of it being reserved. As he was speaking, he THEN pulled out a “Reserved” placard and slammed it on the bar in front of us…absolutely disrespectful & uncalled for. My father & I said alright and went to look again for different seating, however 95% of the seating was “Reserved” despite being completely empty and us arriving 2 hours before game start time. As we got up from the bar, the same disrespectful bartender said, “that’s how reservations work”…again so uncalled for. He continued mumbling under his breath & rolling his eyes. There is no issues with reservations, we’ve all been on this earth long enough to understand how reservations work…but say that. The reserved sign should have already been there. We should have never been told to “sit where we’d like” just to be berated for doing just that. Please understand, if you are a Cornhuskers fan through & through, this place is NOT for you. It’s for locals and the smug employees . This place is not about community or customer service. The male bartender is the epitome of hateful & will do nothing but tank this establishment. He needs to learn how to speak to people & I truly hope one day he gets what’s coming to him. Extremely disheartening experience & I wish the staff would have handled it better.

We had already ordered a full bottle of mimosa for the table, and I simply asked for one extra empty glass so I could just have a small taste since I was driving. Shockingly, they charged me $14 just for that empty glass. It’s unreasonable and feels unfair — instead of doing this, they could have just said they needed $14, and I would have gladly handed it over. Charging for an empty glass when we already bought a whole bottle is unacceptable.

I have a espectacular morning breakfast at the Duck Dive. It feels like a movie. The perfect morning. The star it was the bloody mery. It was one of the best I have tried in SD.
