Mallards Restaurant and Lounge

John was an amazing server. We had the best experience here and looking forward to our next visit. Food was great as well. Has the shrimp and grits, fish tacos, lobster roll and fish and chips. All were amazing. We will definitely be back and will be asking for John!!

Happy hour prices on a great selection of tap beers and appetizers. The Elote Corn Fritters were tasty. We ordered Fish & Chips for our main entree. They were crispy, flaky and hot. Hot Apple Pie for dessert and it didn’t disappoint. Hats off to Jenn our server.

This is honestly, theee absolute best breakfast I have ever had. I ordered the crunchy french toast and instead of individual sides I had the breakfast burrito without a tortilla. The french toast was crispy on the outside, super soft and sweet inside. The syrup is nice but it was also sweet without. The “burrito” was *chefs kiss* spectacular! Flavorful, juicy, and well presented. Melissa and Anna were super cool. Didn’t even bat an eye when I said I was about to make this complicated order. I came with a friend who saw it on IG. I can’t wait to come back with my family for brunch another weekend.

First time coming here. The atmosphere was very nice. Very open, and great windows to look out and watch things going on outside. We started off with the Elote Corn Fritters. Which were wonderful. The hint of lime was very refreshing. My friend had the smash burger. He enjoyed it stating the pickles were not your normal type of pickles. I had the Harvest Salad with a grilled chicken breadt added. The portion was huge. The taste was even bigger. We had Key Lime Pie for dessert. This was the best Key Lime Pie I’ve ever had. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a cool refreshing dessert. Overall, this was a great experience, and would highly recommend this place to anyone wanting to try something different.

I sat at the bar on a Friday night during Lent and the place was BUSY! Britt and Billy were pouring drinks and serving the bar area so efficiently while still being attentive to each other and all the guests on their section. They were both friendly and provided excellent service despite being pretty slammed! My lobster roll was awesome and all the drinks looked amazing! I would definitely visit again and opt for a bar seat! 11/10 would recommend! 🙌

We finally came in to have lunch . And how surprised was I to have Jon be our server . If you enjoy great service he is your guy ! I would follow him to any restaurant . People buy from people , be true , personable & nice . I’m buying what Jon is selling . Our meal was good . I’m looking forward to trying the Lobster next . We go where we know we get great service .

Great place in Bloomington. Went on a Sunday and they had all day happy hour. Got the walleye bites, very good and had a flavorful seasoning on it and nice and crispy.
Tried the fish and chips and the Tuscan pappardelle. Both were delicious. The fish in the fish and chips was a little soggy on the bottom but overall it was crispy and cooked well.
Tuscan pappardelle was flavorful and the sausage in it added a great flavor profile.
The service was okay but this was probably because they only had 2 and it was sorta busy. But the service we did have was not bad.

We went there for lunch today and everything was amazing. I had the shrimp and grits, which is absolutely to die for. The service was great, love the atmosphere and the ambiance. 10/10 would definitely return!

Return Trip Sunday 3/2/25:
Our server was Brittany (I wanted to leave you a review when you left your card because that’s so cool. I made this one a couple years ago so decided to just add to it because when I scanned, it opened up my previous review. 💜 Thank you again, you’re great a server.)

2 Crab Benes
1 Lobster Roll
All 3 to die for!!!
We will be back! 🦀🦞
