The Wild Duck is a neighborhood American restaurant and pub in Brunswick that's found new life under recent ownership. The kitchen turns out solid burgers and classic pub food that keeps people coming back. It's the kind of place where families show up on weekends, regulars have favorite rooms, and the staff generally makes you feel looked after.

• Burgers that regulars keep coming back for.
• Clean, bright room with a neighborhood feel.
• Staff that remembers you and takes care.
• Works for families and group dinners alike.

Order a burger. They're the signature item and guests consistently praise them. Chicken tenders are solid if you're bringing younger kids. The pub has a private room (the Bullwinkle room) that groups rent for events. Before you order, clarify what comes with your burger and what costs extra, especially cheese.

Bright and clean with multiple rooms, low noise level. The space feels casual and welcoming without being loud or cramped.

One thing to watch: the burger menu has some pricing quirks. Cheese is listed in the description but charged as a $2 add-on, which catches some guests off guard. Service seems to vary depending on who's working, though most recent visits mention staff who are attentive and friendly.

Guests rave about the burgers and say the food quality has improved under new management. Service gets mixed reviews. One recent visitor called their burger experience "very good" and noted the space feels welcoming to families. Another guest praised the "impeccable" service at a private event and plans to return.
