Mallards

My brother and I got the Turkey Club and the Thai Peanut Chicken Chop salad. Wish I had taken a before pic, but all I could do now is two empty plates. Well, the salad was enough for two people, so I have half to take with me. (We are up here for work so this will be a great lunch tomorrow on the RV.) Both had great presentation and excellent taste. We also sampled a few different beers before settling on one for each of us. If I was in the area, I'd definitely come here again. The bartendress recommended the Lobster Roll. Do I need that for lunch tomorrow or leftovers???

Was impressed with this big restaurant, very clean and had a cool open kitchen concept. Bartender was friendly and service was pretty quick. The bar had a few large screen TV's with various sports on and there is a big (separate) game room area for kids to be occupied while parents can enjoy a drink. However I did find it weird that the men's bathroom has a one way mirror that overlooks the playroom while using the urinal? A few reasons I couldn't go higher than a 3 on this experience. First of all it has to do with the "quick" service. I ordered a bowl of soup, which was huge! It came out hot and pretty tasty... but my main course came out only minutes after. So I had to make a decision... power through my soup in hopes to still have hot food when I was finished. Or eat them both at the same time... I chose the latter. For my main course I had the Fish and Chips. 3 pieces of fish, two that were stuck together, served on top of a small pile of over done fries. The fish was crispy on the outside but a bit mushy in the inside. the bartender, who was very nice and friendly, was way too busy to refill my drink because she was busy making drinks for the entire restaurant. I finally stopped a waitress to get a refill. Judging by the atmosphere and the relatively good crowd, this seems to be a well liked local place. So I have to believe that I maybe my fish and chips were just a one off. I also thought that the entree was fair priced at $15, but $10 for the soup was a bit much. (And now that I look at the menu (the next day) the soup is listed at $5.99...makes me wonder why I was charged $9.99??). Maybe the $6 is for a cup? It doesn't offer a cup or a bowl on the menu, just a price of $5.99. Shame on me for not noticing and asking I guess!

Staff is great. Jambalaya is amazing. Chilly temp in the winter. Bring a sweatshirt. But it's worth it! Food always good!!

Wow - great food and excellent service - 4.5 stars!I stopped in for lunch with a friend. We ordered a lot of food including drinks, appetizers, lunch, and dessert. Every mouthful of food was good!I don't hand out many 5 star reviews so I'm calling Mallards a 4.5 - right now. But if everything is just as good when I stop back for dinner, I'll probably upgrade them to 5 stars.Much of the food is made in-house from scratch. And it shows. They flavors were all wonderful. I particularly liked the potato soup, the hand battered shrimp, and the salmon plate which had some wonderful savory items like capers and an awesome cream cheese spread. The apple pie with vanilla ice cream & caramel drizzle was excellent too.The restaurant is really big too. They even have a balcony area for special events and overflow seating. There's a big arcade area in back. It even has a little put-put golf area. Cool!Thumbs up!-Daddy Maxx Retro

Mallard's is sadly to say not even close to the one that closed at Bayport.The menu is a regular menu with nothing outstanding and as usual at restaurants that don't have to much creativity deserts are always the same. I am not saying going to the extreme vanguard food which is sometimes too little and too eccentric and even expensive. The other issue is that almost everything in the menus is hot and extra hot. I wrote before. "Being around at restaurants for long time I am seeing more and more and more the tendency of putting into the dishes and uncontrollable amount of hot, indescribable, inexpressible, ridiculously hot spice ingredients in the preparation of the food. The restaurants use as propaganda the "gluten free". Now, the medical situation with gluten affects only 1.4% of the world population but 15% of the world population has peptic ulcer ( GOOGLE it) and 30% of the population gastritis. The hot spices like jalapeños, Chocula, schug, and many more in those quantities will produce more damage. The Celiac disease is not a game nor the rest of the diseases mentioned above. Therefore, please, be more open minded and when preparing the food leave the option, Gluten Free or Spice Hot FREE, thus everybody can enjoy the delicious food, and the great service."Besides all of the above, the service was very nice and the bar is very well stocked.

Great fun place. The food was fantastic. Service was excellent Loved the ambiance Will definitely go again.

Decided to give Mallards a second try again tonight. Last time my wife and I both got fried cod dinners; both had obviously been fried in dirty oil and were extremely greasy. Tonight, it was slightly busy and took 15 minutes to get a glass of water after being seated immediately on arrival. The only saving grace tonight was our appetizer, which was amazing. Our entrees were subpar. My wife ordered the filet mignon Alfredo; the steak she received was well done and approximately 3 slices. I ordered the Salmon New Orleans; their menu indicates the salmon should be topped with lump crab, however mine was simply sprinkled with the smallest amount. It was drowning in butter, like a butter soup. After two tries, I don't think we will be returning

Enjoyed salads, crab cake appetizer, and tuscan pasta between my wife and myself. Quantity was sufficient for two. Resturant is clean, food choice excellent, food quality very good, ambiance good, service good, on this Sunday night. I particularly appreciate menu choice which is above and beyond what is available in rural Wisconsin.

Tried Mallard's in New Richmond, WI, to check out the lobster roll and the fish & chips. Both were awful. What little lobster was in the roll was chewy and tasteless; the overcooked, leathery fish was the toughest cod we've ever had, encased in burnt batter. Service was slow (one server for the whole area) and, considering the bad food, the prices are ridiculous. Maybe it's just this location -- some friends love a different Mallard's near them -- but this one is a definite no-go.

Hosts,waitress's, bartenders, and staff in general have little or no concept in what a bar restaurant service should be. On our arrival there was a bucket with a mop in it up at the bar next to the bartender sitting at the bar playing on their phone ( this was 5:30 PM) Waitress took our drink order but couldn't deliver the drinks because she wasn't old enough to serve drinks. My thoughts are maybe the owner doesn't understand the concept of running a bar restaurant.
