The Duck’s Diner breakfast menu, which is available all day, includes omelets, pancakes, country ham, steak and eggs, corned beef hash and a breakfast burrito, as well as the restaurant’s signature banana-stuffed French toast with butter pecan sauce. The lunch menu features burgers, po’ boys, wraps, chicken tenders, a ribeye steak and a Rueben sandwich, along with another Duck’s Diner specialty, Gouda cheese grit cakes topped with grilled shrimp, grilled tomatoes and a Creole sauce.
