Mallards At The Wharf

Mallards and Chef Johnny Mo were incredible. We went for our 18th anniversary and I had emailed ahead and asked for a special request that meant the world to my wife and the Chef absolutely delivered creating a custom appetizer for us and then delivering a 4 course meal for two that was amazing.They saved the table overlooking the wharf and Lynn made our service and night as perfect as we could of hoped. The entire staff were friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed every bite of dinner. I would highly recommend Johnny Mo's specialty, his crab cakes, the beef medallions melted in your mouth and the key lime 7 layer cake was something I've never had before and would drive 2 hours to eat again!

Had a business lunch there and it's so quaint. Wonderful water view too bad it wasn't nice out to enjoy it more. We had a great waitress that my associate was making nuts on choosing a beer. She handled it well!

If you want a beautiful view, history, and delicious food, this is the spot! We sat outside and had the poke, singlcrab cake entree, and the crab spring rolls. everything was delicious, the plating was beautiful, and the service was great. Highly recommend this spot!

Food portions extremely small, which could be excusable if they were made with prime ingredients (the store bought sauces and dressings do not signify this). Beyond that my husband ordered a catch of the day with 3 soft-shell crabs, he got 2 and a quarter sized third with 6 green beans and a quarter cup of mashed potatoes. The food is good, it is not gourmet. The service was deplorable, we had to go up to the bar and ask for cutlery, we ordered an appetizer that was never put in, had to wait a ridiculous amount of time before flagging down our waitress to submit our entree, then had to ask for the check. The setting is beautiful, which in my opinion this business owner leans far too heavy on to justify the prices. The drinks were excellent, the bus people did well, the view and ambiance were spectacular. All in all I would love to give this business a second try in hopes that this is not all they have to offer.

On the way back from a weekend in New York and we were craving something filling and satisfying. The reviews of this place were what caught our attention and ultimately we choose to stop here for lunch.The hype is real!!! Wished this place was closer to home and not 3 hrs away Everyone loved their meals, the fried green tomatoes were so good on my BLT that we ordered them as an appetizer. I absolutely loved my BLT, a straight 10/10 meal.My bf's dad is allergic to seafood (don't ask why we stopped at a seafood restaurant), and got the pulled pork sandwich and completely demolished it. He's got a specific taste and knows when good food is good food and highly rated his meal.My bf loved the swordfish filet and side soup, and the desserts were also amazing! Can't believe this spot is not only in a quiet area with waterside outdoor seating and has a specialized and curated menu, but also every part of the meal was great experience. The young gentleman who served us was sweet and quick.We will be back for sure!! This place is clearly a neighbor favorite and a hidden gem to tourists who are passing through.

This place was hopping on a Wednesday night, great view along the waterfront. It is dog friendly, so we sat at the bar outside. Sara helped us and filled our beer glasses and brought water for the pups. Mallards sells a cup for $15 which includes a beer, subsequent refills for beer or crushes are $5. However they only have ONE beer on tap. For dinner, I had the crabmeat stuffed avocado which consisted of lightly dressed crabmeat in 2 avocado halves, perfect for a light dinner on a sweltering day. My husband had the shrimp sandwich, he ate the shrimp only because the roll was INEDIBLE. I've never seen him leave a roll behind, it was bad! We decided to go back the next day for drinks only, so we could use our cups. It was 90' outside so we opted for a beer. They had issues with the keg, so the cups were 1/2 filled and warm. The server immediately rectified the situation and offered us crushes, not our thing but refreshing on a hot day. I do wish they offered more beer options. Unless you are local, or plan on drinking lots of refills, the cups really were worth it. It's a cute momento.

Soup of the day is delicious! Crab stuffed avocado is excellent!! The avocado is ripe and perfectly filled with crab salad.... The wrap looks great and no complaints from my partner! Cole slaw was good. The building is full of history and decor is lovely!Service is superb, (even with one waiters' first day) . Worth the drive and what a cute small town, worth Big beautiful homes!

Great food and reasonable prices. Beautiful fun place. We ate dinners there two nights in a row. Between the chef's stories and his dad hosting us we were quite well taken care of. Best price on crab cakes anywhere on the bay.

My boyfriend and I were incredibly disappointed with our recent visit. We've been frequenting this restaurant for years and I am sad to see that the portions and quality have declined significantly.We both ordered the meatloaf and it was hardly enough food to satiate us. The meatloaf itself was scantly the size of a large meatball and the mashed potatoes that come with it were just a smear underneath it.The side salad comes with some sort of watered down ranch and barely any veggies other than the base spring mix.This is a meal I have ordered in the past and enjoyed, but unfortunately it seems to have been a victim of "shrink-flation". Definitely no longer worth the money.I have nothing bad to say about the service or the ambience; the staff has always been friendly/professional and the setting is gorgeous.

The food and service were fantastic! We drove 2 hrs just to come for lunch. The setting on the water was so beautiful. We were lucky enough to be there for their soft crab tacos. Sooo flavorful. Fat crabs. We also had a salad with perfectly seared tuna. Also had to try the MD crab soup and the crab dip stuffed egg rolls. Also had the fried green tomatoes with pimento cheese. Still drooling...The egg rolls could have had more crab dip and the aioli overpowered the crab. Drinks were amazing. The prices were so good for everything.
