Odd Duck is a rare gem for gluten-free foodies in Milwaukee, with a menu that's not just creative, but remarkably celiac-friendly—think globally inspired small plates where over 90% can be prepared gluten free. Staff here seem genuinely tuned in to celiac needs, regularly asking about allergies, marking menus clearly, and even offering a dedicated gluten-free fryer (a game-changer for safe fried treats). The kitchen isn’t fully gluten free, so there’s always that little flutter of nerves, but recent reports show impressive staff knowledge and an earnest commitment to preventing cross-contact. If you’re searching for a night out where you can relax and savor bold flavors without feeling like you’re rolling the dice with your health, Odd Duck is absolutely worth the reservation.
