I was really excited to try “Duck and Drake” after I saw some reviews online about it. I live on the corner of “The Drake” which is their second store which I have been thinking about to trying soon. I love an origin story so I canceled my original plans and decided to go try “Duck and Drake”. When I pulled up to the property, I saw a small food truck in the corner and at first I was like this is it? I contemplated leaving because I found it hard to believe that the quality of food I heard about came out of such a small truck. But I had already committed. I looked over the menu, They had some nice options and before I ordered, I wanted to look over where I would be sitting. The inside is very nice open in spacious comfortable seating mix variety of bar lounge, high top and patio. An array of wine bottles is throughout the inside with an additional private dining area, again arrayed with bottles of wine.I chose to sit outside since it was a beautiful day. I asked the kitchen for recommendations and got three of their items and one of my choosing. I got Wagyu sliders, crispy shrimp bao, truffle fries, and their pizza. I am saddened to say that nothing impressed me. I wouldn’t rate anything over a 7. I also wasn’t told that the wagyu sliders and shrimp Bao came with fires. If I had know I would have asked for a different side or skipped the truffle fries. My table looked like a mountain of potatoes. When I went back to the truck to see if they can give me another side, I stated they didn’t let me know that everything came with fries. they suggested I just get another side and pay for it. Which I wasn’t doing because everything I had was mid at best to me at this point. Everything was a decent portion size I just wasnt undone by the flavor. The wagyu sliders, taste like regular prime beef. Dijon mustard heavy. The Truffle fries were good. I just expected better based off what I’ve heard. The crispy shrimp Bao was probably my favorite I give that one a 7 if I ever join some friends there, I would order that. The pizza was crispy cheesy and spicy all the things that I like but the flavor profile just didn’t work for me for some reason. I can see how some people would like this place. I just happen to enjoy really good food, and this just doesn’t hit anywhere on my list. Idk if I will try The Drake based off this experience I get 20% off from living in the neighborhood and I just don’t know. personally wouldnt recommend to a friend who knows the type of food that I eat. My wife and I got boxes, packed it up and went somewhere else to eat. We gave our leftovers to a person in need on the way.Ambience 5/5service 3/5Food 3/5Parking: There are like 7 parking spots in front of the dining room idk where is there preferred alternate parking lot but the need one asapKid-friendliness: It was slow when I went so I let my son roam around. They did not have high chairs to my knowledge but I didn’t ask

Absolutely phenomenal. This is the elevation that Orlando needs. I’m an appetizer, salad, meal, drinks person to get a full understanding of a restaurant and The Drake delivered. Service was above and beyond from Sydney and the food was everything I could ask for. The trio was a perfect way to start, the Fire Roast Chicken and NY steak brought FINALLY TASTE to a menu. I’ve been so waiting for something to TASTE good and The Drake delivers the whole gambit. Thank you.

Phenomenal. Had chicken sliders, hummus, duck wings and truffle fries. Super friendly and everything had perfect blend of tastes!

I can't explain it well enough here but the Duck & Drake is OUTSTANDING! From the veggies with the hummus (unexpectedly flavorful and I generally don't even LIKE veggies) to the HUGE plateful of truffle fries to the Fungi Joe (?) mushroom pizza (I am talking covered with mushrooms) to the Wagyu sliders - I mean, are you starting to get the picture here??? This place is incredible and I am officially addicted!

It's a double edged sword, yes I want this place to succeed and have it's own restaurant in the future but no I do not want to have to fight other reservations to get to it! The food is so darn good and don't even get me started on their risotto. It's the epitome of what a risotto should be. I will savor the moments I have with them being a food truck for now
These plates are on another level, beautiful presentation to unique tastes. I would highly recommend to anyone.

Omg D&D is one of the best places I have ever been to man I can't express in words how great the food is you have to experience it for yourself, the presentation is beautiful and I believe each dish is well put together the flavors and textures compliment each other even something as simple as corn dogs are elevated to the next level.✊????

Best meal I’ve had while dining out in awhile!! Try the duck confit summer bap. So many delicious flavors. Can’t wait to come back and try something else.
