A little comfort food, a little feel good, and a whole lot of flavor.
January’s People’s Pick specials are still going strong at Dog & Duck, and every bite is helping support our friends at Charleston Animal Society 🐾
For the entire month, we donate $1 from every People’s Pick item ordered and match the total at the end of January. It is an easy way to enjoy dinner and give back at the same time.
This month’s picks bring bold flavor and great value, thanks to our new Spicy Dill Pickle dry rub and two guest favorites you can feel good about ordering.
🍗 Appetite for Dillstruction
Hand-breaded chicken nuggets and crispy fries tossed in our Spicy Dill Pickle dry rub, served with cool ranch and dill pickle chips for a crave-worthy combo. $8.95
🥬 Talullah Chicken Salad Wrap
House-made honey balsamic chicken salad, crisp Romaine, and a savory garlic herb tortilla, served with limited-time spicy dill pickle pub chips. Fresh, satisfying, and perfect for an easy night out. $8.95
Not a pickle fan? Both items can be ordered without the Spicy Dill Pickle dry rub and still count toward the donation.
Swing by tonight, order a People’s Pick, and help us make a difference for animals in our community.
