Notable Picks
#2
The Duck Inn
8.6
A Bridgeport neighborhood tavern with a serious duck-driven identity—rotisserie, crispy wings, and duck-fat comforts—anchored by a bar program that keeps the room lively. It reads as gastropub-first, but the cooking has real finesse when you order the signatures. Strong for date nights or small groups who want a relaxed dining room without giving up craft.
Must-Try Dishes:
Signature whole rotisserie duck, Duck Inn Dog, Duck fat fries
What makes it special: A duck-first American tavern built around a signature rotisserie duck service.
8.6
A modern Vietnamese dining room in Pilsen that leans into shareable plates and bold, fish-sauce-forward flavors rather than a pho-only playbook. The kitchen’s best hits land with real wok char and punchy herbs—order a tight spread of a few signatures and let the table eat family-style.
Must-Try Dishes:
Fish sauce wings, Crab fried rice, Green papaya salad
What makes it special: Modern Vietnamese small plates with signature wings and crab fried rice in a polished room.
