Odd Duck was born in early 2012 from the partnership of Milwaukee restaurant industry veterans Ross Bachhuber and Melissa Buchholz. Their commitment to creativity, collaboration, and constant development has produced a more dynamic and ever-changing restaurant than either could have imagined at the inception. The original Odd Duck location was on Kinnickinnic Avenue in Milwaukee’s Bay View neighborhood where it remained for a decade, becoming a beloved Milwaukee institution. In 2022 – after surviving the global coronavirus pandemic – Odd Duck flew north to the Walker’s Point neighborhood, where it makes it’s home today in a much larger building that once was the union hall for the United Electrical Workers of America Local 111 for Allen-Bradley Company. We continue to cook for you proudly in the shadow of the iconic landmark Allen-Bradley Clocktower. Chef Ross can most often be found in the kitchen, and Melissa in the dining room – stop and introduce yourselves at any time!
