We've brought countless friends here to try it and it's a heafty feat! You get around 40 to 50 pieces of shrimp, around 10 things of potatoes, six things of corn, and sausage too... it's humongous. You really get your moneys worth! If I'm being honest I haven't tried anything else here but I can assume it's equally amazing! I'm really looking forward to coming back here in the summer and enjoying this on their outdoor patio. But so far really love mallards and will always recommend it as it go to spot for anything seafood related! At our most recent stop our waiter was kind gave us lots of recommendations and was quick to refill our drinks or ask if we needed anything throughout our entire experience. This goes for each time we've been here, the service has always been wonderful. I find it this location really unique and it sits on upscale while also being able to be casual. Thank you Mallards for a wonderful time!

Seeing that there was a bar and grill right by my hotel I figured with all the reviews that this…read moreplace was worth checking out. I came here during the football night just to see what this place was like. They had a light food menu since they were showing down the kitchen a bit early so it was mainly appetizers no biggie on my part. Their food menu was atrociously overpriced. Like $9 for a plate of fries and there's nothing special about them . Apparently they had a beer special too so i was excited about that. I had some non-alcoholic beer that was featured which is a great thing for them to have. I didn't realize that when I got my check that each drink was $9 each which is the most I've ever paid for a non-alcoholic beverage regardless if it was on a special or not this is like Los Angeles, California pricing! This is just a typical Bar and Grill establishment and I personally think there's no reason for them to be charging these astronomical prices. They do get Stars for having very nice service and a clean establishment with modest restrooms. There's plenty of parking with easy access to the streets. Overall, I was not impressed at all

I imagine it would be really nice in the spring/summer as there is a horse track right outside of the restaurant which would provide a great view to a race. It definitely got a little loud just sitting inside They had a large variety of options to choose from on the menu. They also offered a great and surprisingly extensive Happy Hour Menu which we got there in time to take advantage of.  We got the burger and thought it was very tasty, we love a good caramelized onion. I thought it definitely needed some ketchup to balance out the heaviness of the onions and cheese with a little bright acidity. I also thought the patties themselves were very good, thin with a slight crisp to them with a soft bun and melty sauces and cheese. Since it was a happy hour option the burger did not come with any sides like it would have as an entrée. We also got fish tacos and we were a big fan of the slaw and pineapple mayo which brought a balance of sweet and savory to the dish. Only came with two tacos (at least for happy hour) which might not be enough food if you're hungry. The hot smoked salmon was one of the more unique items we tried. The salmon itself was super tasty - salty and smoky just what you want. They use the smaller scraps of salmon that wouldn't work in their Wood-Fired King Salmon entrée and incorporate it into this appetizer which is great sustainability-wise! The salmon came with a creamy ricotta, salty capers, crunchy crostini, and sweet and acidic pickled red onions. We liked this combination a lot but felt it could have used even more sweetness/acidity, maybe just adding a couple more onions to the dish. We really enjoyed the 'Garganelli' pasta dish. It was creamy and indulgent with pieces of lobster and freshly shaved parmesan on top. The chili added a really nice layer of heat but wasn't overpowering. The server was nice enough to split up everything we had over the evening to share (which explains the two small portions in the photo). MN Mule - 8/10 Pretty average but solid mule. However, it was served in a plastic spam cup which elevated the whole experience. Margarita - 9/10 Very good margarita - we were told it was a house made margarita not from a mix. Very bright and fresh flavors that definitely let the tequila shine. Overall would definitely recommend!

It was very…read morebusy so it made sense. at some point they had us stand to wait near the entrance, but we felt like we were obstructing the path of the servers and other people coming through, so I didn't think that was a great system. Once we were sat, our server was really attentive and friendly and would come by often with refills on drinks, which was really appreciated! I ordered the 6 ounce sirloin, medium rare with buttered corn and mashed potatoes and gravy. The mashed potatoes and gravy were really tasty and the sirloin was cooked medium rare. I did wish that it was cooked at a slightly lower heat because the outside was very very cooked and smoky. also, I had water with my meal and it had a very particular taste which I was not a fan of. Small thing, but if you drink a lot of water you'll notice it. I know people love the rolls and the butter, but as someone who doesn't really like sweet flavors much I wish they also provided some regular butter for the bread.

I had read the Chicken Parm was good and luckily I paid attention! I did ask for extra sauce and…read morethere was p l e n t y especially for the pasta underneath. The sauce was rich and flavorful, the chicken cutlet crunchy on the outside, moist and yummy on the inside. There was lots of gooey, melted parmesan cheese. So good. The garlic "toast" was disappointing. It was spongy, soft, and had zero flavor. I couldn't even save it by scooping up sauce because the spongy texture was off-putting. This entree comes with a side garden salad and I ordered the blue cheese dressing. The dressing tasted like mayo with no hint of blue cheese. On my third bite, I uncovered a dead, slimy, rotten piece of arugula and that did it for the salad. Ugh. I definitely recommend the Chicken Parm. Maybe after this they'll tighten up their salad greens and wrap the toast separately from the entree.

This will be a new staple for us!

These burgers are some of the best in the TC! Walking in, a very nice woman told us to grab a booth! This place feels so retro! They haven't made upgrades and that gives it a classic feel! We loved the vibes from the moment we walked in! This place has a minimal and simple menu! The wait staff here is very quick and almost too pushy. My boyfriend and I agreed it was very "diner style ladies" like if they knew you, they were nice but otherwise their main mission is to get you in and get you out! The wait staff was attentive, just not out of their way to be friendly. We both ordered the California with cheese which add lettuce, tomato, onions (fried or raw) and cheese. You can do a single or double. Oh my gosh these burgers were perfection! The perfect ratios and it basically melted In your mouth! These stand up to the hype! Along side we got the 1919 rootbeer, it was good but almost tasted flat. We also got a grape soda which is in a bottle and is a local brand! It was very tasty! The fries were a bummer. Tasted like they were from the freezer section... I honestly would skip these and get the bigger burger! Overall this place was nostalgic and worth the burger hype! It's a classic burger done right!

It does get pretty busy, so I'd definitely recommend joining the waitlist on your way there. That said, even during peak times, the service is consistently top-notch. If you're looking for a place to catch a game, this is it--there are TVs everywhere, plus frequent 2-for-1 deals that make it even better. Overall, it's the ideal spot for a lively, reliable sports bar experience.

Don't expect accurate information if you have to wait for a table here…read more Called to reserve an outdoor table and was told it would be a 20-25 minute wait. We were about a 15 minute drive away, so would have been near perfect timing. After arriving, we waited a bit and then weren't seated - asked the hostess if our table would be ready soon, and she says it's actually been closer to a 45 minute wait all day. Not sure why the person on the phone lied to us. GM replied to my Google review and basically blamed me for calling to reserve instead of using the clunky, outdated online system. Glad the Twin Cities have many patio offerings with better service at least.

This place is a great spot for families or large groups- with a lot of seating inside and out! We love their malts, but sometimes I wish they had even a smaller of size- a half is HUGE! Definitely shareable! I got the Graham Cracker, Caramel & Cinnamon- SO good! (I do wish there was chunks or graham lol). The onion rings are always a staple, beer battered and soo tasty! The portions are also really big for only being around $7? Again, a great place for groups to share. Overall, I was really impressed with their new spot and I look forward to trying it in the summer!

I believe this is right around the time when there were new owners. We were seated right away and our waitress was quick to get our order! As our food was being cooked it got super smokey inside the restaurant- we asked to be moved out on the patio, I think something was wrong with their ventilation. The food was ok- I was a little bummed because a few people had told us such great things...I was really expecting better. We got the golden egg rolls which were super crispy in the outside and pretty decent for an egg roll. Green curry- was expecting it to be a little more spicy and more flavor but just wasn't doing it for me. Chicken pad Thai was decent. Pad Ka Pow- this was probably my least favorite- the meat tasted like jimmy deans breakfast sausage that was smoked. Not really impressed :(
