Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We returned here recently for a romantic dinner and had a fantastic time.the food, service and location are terrific! The food was exceptional and inventive. A lot of the produce comes straight from the farm.the service was attentive and the waiters seemed to know the menu well. Great cocktails as well.
Will definitely return! Thank you

Having been to the restaurant three times previously, I found my experience last night at Three Blue Ducks disappointing. Though there were obvious set backs due to Covid restrictions, it was not the atmosphere that was most lacking. The menu was not nearly as interesting as always and we found the food clunky and akin to food served at a function. The pork dish, in particular, was disappointing as it was quite dry and served with an enormous heap of leathery, unchewable greens that were so watery they diluted the other flavours on the plate. Upon our enquiry, the waitress was unable to clarify what the greens were. In fact, though kind, the waiting staff did not meet a standard one would expect in a restaurant where the prices are so high and though I get the atmosphere as being fairly rustic, dirty fingernails are not sightly on any waiting staff. One great thing was the guy playing the guitar and to their credit, the waitress took the price of a side dish of greens ( which, by the way we ordered as she said there were no greens with the pork!!??) off the bill. Hopefully this was a one off as it is usually quite a good restaurant.

Wow! Was recommended this Restaurant by a review on another restaurant "don't go here, go to The Farm (Google it)". So I did. The place was packed. As soon as a table was vacated it was filled again. Easy to see why.
The food was amazing. As a result of Long Covid I have developed an allergy to "yeast" which is in vinegar which is in EVERYTHING! I told this to Maria, our amazing waitress and she told the Head Chef, and he said that vinegar was in the Entrée but not to worry the Chef would make me something else. On a Sunday night, with a Restaurant that is absolutely packed, I do not expect that. That is going above and beyond. The Entrée he made me tasted amazing.
Then the Sunday Roast arrived. It is absolutely huge. So much food, it was so delicious. So much flavour. Farm made stock from ingredients grown in the garden. Vegetables from the garden. Beef so tender and just melted in your mouth. Thankyou Maria and Head Chef. No wonder your Restaurant is packed.

As a local coming here once every few years, this time was the absolute worst! I will not be returning. The dining room was loud and chaotic, staff were rude and stressed. We waited over 25 minutes to be seated by the awfully incompetent Maître d', only to be served over priced food which was seriously lack lustre, and underwhelming. This place is trading on a gimmick and feels completely devoid of any character or authenticity. They even charge you an extra $1 for a marshmallows on your baby chino. Speak to any local I know and they will happily tell you how lame the farm is.....I am of the same opinion after my last experience.

We were really looking forward to our brunch, we were soon disappointed. The restaurant was loud and chaotic, the staff seemed extremely stressed and unorganised. We waited over 30 minutes for our coffees which were delivered wrong, another 10 mins for them to return, wrong again, we gave up and just drank what they brought us. Our food looked extremely sad and underwhelming, it tasted worse, dry and bland. We were expecting a quaint rustic restaurant serving quality food. We got extremely bad food, bad service and a chaotic space that has got way too big for its own good.

It’s Monday, B team, It’s only 2 coffees and a piece of toast. Why bother, or even metaphorically turn up. Getting seated took time, enough that the French would have been preparing a small riot. Ordering via the sparse staff more time. The coffee, notably saving on ingredients more time. However the toast, just toast x2 + butter + condiment 40min to not arrive. A polite ask revealed that the kitchen were saving the toast orders for a group toastup . When it finally arrived………no evidence of toasting at all.
Not the first time like this at Three Ducks. Completely defeated we decided to leave the limp bread for the Ibis. We could have walked out, no one at the desk for ages. Foolishly we waited to pay swearing yet again to never darken the doors again, something we had done in the past but forgotten. NO more memory lapse.

We visited as part of a Balloon Aloft package.
This meal was promoted as a gourmet breakfast.
There were three options including poached eggs and avocado on toast, a bacon and egg burger and don’t remember the other, plus a small coffee. I was charged $30 per additional adult guest for this.
We have lots of great breakfast venues in this area. This experience did not impress.
Gourmet? You are kidding yourself!

We were looking forward to the Sunday roast dinner with good friends. However, it was a disappointing evening. We booked early because we wanted an early night and did not receive our mains for 75 mins after ordering. and this was a set menu so everyone was eating the same thing. Other tables who arrived well after us were served before us. We were offered one dessert between 4 of us to make up for this!
When the food did come it was quite salty and two of us felt unwell during the night to top things off.
The ambience was pleasant - however, the live music was a bit too loud at times. There needs to be work done to improve the food and service overall.

Our second visit in a year while travelling up north and we were looking forward to a repeat of our previous visit. Not to be, service was ordinary, food was okay and atmosphere was spoiled by uncontrolled children racing around tables and knocking things over. My chicken dish was tough and failed to impress for the price asked. My partners market fish was a bit better but again failed to have a positive impact on her taste buds. The glasses of Camel Rose GLS was nicely chilled but was little sweet. After an ordinary experience we were not tempted to stay for dessert.

We had a breakfast there, and my wife ordered hard eggs with her avo & poached egg meal - the eggs were super-runny and not eaten. The coffee was a very small glass (latte) and not very hot - both coffees were ordered with sugars and my wife had finished her cold (to her taste) coffee before the sugar eventually arrived. The bacon & egg roll was quite good but not worth the price. Disappointing.

To all the staff and team at 3 Blue ducks Byron Bay you SMASHED it. Not only did our clients have an awesome lunch, their comments were that the food, the drinks, the service was all sensational.
Given they were from Melbourne and London, 2 hot spots for food they would definitely recommend as I did to them and come back again. Lucy even took a photo of her steak as it was cooked to perfection. Part of a great Byron Bay experience All round so thank you.

Visited the Three Blue Ducks after having such a great experience in Sydney and was disappointed to say the least. We visited to celebrate my sons 10th birthday, the menus was limited to 4 items, none geared towards kids. Kids ordered from the bakery and my husband and I ordered the avo dish and pesto eggs on toast. Needless to say the meal was substandard - sloppily put together, halloumi was cold and burnt, pita was the wrong bread to have with the dish and was soggie and avo dish was a bit like baby purée ... unimpressed- the food was not prepared with any care. Kids enjoyed their baked good , recommend ordering from the bakery only.

The restaurant service was great and everything arrived quickly but the food was disappointing and lacked seasoning and flavour. Also the topping on the cabbage was very hard and rock like. Meal sizes are very small too. The fresh bread was good but the butter is salt free and salt was needed.
Strangely, we visited the cafe the day before and the breakfast food was delicious, maybe something could be learn from their menu?

Fresh, local (mostly grown and raised on site at The Farm), ethical, creative, delicious every single time (15 visits and counting), seasonal menu, consistently good service, plenty of options for GF, DF, vegan.
Most outstanding for me would be the blends of local spices/nuts/seeds to accentuate dishes, and they have a gift for making the ordinary taste extraordinary. The beef brisket, on our most recent visit, was outstanding in both flavour and tenderness.
Excellent value for consistently high quality.
Combined with a visit to the surround and iconic The Farm, you couldn’t ask for a better day out.

Came for lunch and selected their signature "Feed Me" option. On paper the menu sounded a bit different and interesting, but what turned up just really wasn't very pleasant to eat. We had two glasses of wine that they proudly serve "on-tap", and they weren't terribly pleasant either. An expensive lunch and memorable but not in a good way. Maybe the breakfast options are better.
