Such a beautiful place. Just had a drink there. Everyone is very nice . Definitely recommend. read more

First time in for a while. Sat outside on a beautiful day. Service was super friendly. Only issue, one gal was covering bartending and serving outside. Slowed things up a little. Still good service. Food was so so. We both got burger, mine with a GF bun. At $17 and $18 respectively, fairly affordable. Didn't charge extra for my GF bun which was either an oversight or not ? Fries were fine, burgers were not great. Patties were inconsistently cooked. Mine was well, wife's was pretty rare. Bacon was barely cooked. Had a definite Sysco feel. Kind of odd flavor. Neither of us finished our burgers. Wife's tougher pretzel bun led to lots of burger sliding out. Not a lot of appealing GF options so probably won't return read more

Food has been good! Their burgers are great and the poppers are so good! Service isn't consistent. The ambiance is the best part whether inside or out! It's spectacular! read more

I ordered cheeseburger and onion rings on the side. I thought it's gonna be a mediocre burger since it was really affordable knowing that everything around Mt. Hood is almost expensive. I was surpised by the quality of the food. It was really tasty. I enjoyed it while looking at the beautiful scenery. The server was nice as well. I also like the vibe inside the bar and the teal-colored wall. read more

Staff is welcoming and the menu has something for everyone. Everything we tried was fresh and tasty.

It is a huge and wonderful place to hang out with friends. I really like all the nature and the views there. And it's pretty cool to play golf there, to have an open bar so early and late. The food is also good, served fast and fresh. read more

Mallard's is such a beautiful place for outdoor dining on a sunny day, even if you're not a huge fan of golf. It's tucked in a quiet pocket at the nine hole, and the view is GORGEOUS. We go here pretty frequently and it's not unusual to see deer having a snack on the green. Something is always blooming here. It's lovely. In cooler months, the indoor restaurant / bar works, lots of windows brings the heavily treed vibes inside. A nearby fireplace gets roaring when it snows. Awesome ambiance. My favorite food items on the menu is DEFINITELY their shortribs, halibut fish & chips and the resort cheeseburger. Yum! My Daughter enjoyed their salmon ceaser salad today. Nicely cooked & a good sized serving. Staff is always kind and attentive. **Not sure why their rating is so bad as of today (8/19/2021), this place deserves a chance. I've never had a bad experience here.** See you again soon! read more

After our round of golf, our friends joined my wife and I for lunch on the lawn looking out on the beautiful view. Breanna Fry graciously served us drinks, took our orders and brought our food. She is an excellent employee who creates an enjoyable dining experience at Mallards. read more

Ignore the negative reviews, the food is great and the view is even better! We got the chicken sandwich with sweet potato fries and the halibut fish and chips, both were excellent! I was expecting the worst after reading the reviews, but the fish was white, flakey and the batter was cooked to crispy perfection. The waitress was so bubbly, friendly, helpful and had excellent customer service! You can't beat the view of the golf course either, it's beyond gorgeous. read more

Miss the old bar seats, kitchen not open yet so using Altitudes menu. Amazing view, new game room for kids

We were staying at the Resort at the Mountain and our room rate included a continental breakfast; problem was they stopped serving the continental breakfast so they gave us vouchers for breakfast at Mallard's. I never expect much in these situations, but of the three meals we have eaten in this area, this one was by far the best. We both had a simple eggs, potatoes, meat and toast breakfast of which I gave my bacon to my husband. The eggs were cooked perfectly to order, the potatoes were not greasy or overly seasoned and they had quite a few options for the toast. Even if we didn't have a voucher for breakfast tomorrow we would definitely return. read more

Do. Not. Eat. Here. After reading other reviews & seeing the dilapidated condition of the building interior, we were not expecting a stellar meal but what we received was beyond horrible. Cheap food is an understatement. Wilted lettuce, half over cooked half uncooked onion rings and the saddest excuse for fish & chips I've ever seen! Spouse spent the night throwing up. I am sure this place was lovely before Covid shutdowns took its toll but sadly, even though the ONE server who was working was very kind, I can not advise you to run away enough!! Also, they are working off a menu of mostly fried food with maybe 10 items. You have to go inside to order & (in our case) wait 40 minutes for food. Oh, I also had to bus my own table prior to sitting down as the poor solo server had zero help! read more

Stopped by on 9/5/21 after golfing. Ordered beer and food. After waiting over 45 minutes, went to server to check. Was told they were the only one working and needed to work behind bar and couldn't get out to deliver food. Asked if we could just have our food credited because we needed to leave and with a little attitude agreed to do it. 2 weeks later it's never been credited and the resort won't respond to my email request. Obviously under staffed, but if you can't provide the food service at all, you shouldn't be taking orders. And it would be cool if they could at least honor the credit. read more

Ugh. I've learned over the years that I shouldn't expect much here. Yet they have a monopoly so there really aren't other places to turn to so I keep coming back when at the Resort. This time, I found the layout of the cafe changed and not for the better. All of the seating was placed right when you walk in - very odd. The side room, which previously had dining seating and was much more pleasant, was just filled with big couches this time. As usual, the service was SO SLOOOOOOW. We got our food and it was ok - burgers were fine and the fries were good (though it was a small portion). Prices were pretty steep for what you get. Staff were friendly enough but just didn't seem very with it - almost like they were brand new and didn't know how to operate. They really need to step this place up. Like the rest of the resort, it has potential but they just aren't living up to it. read more

Requested no cabbage on my food, everything else was ordered off the menu without changes. My son got mac and cheese and fries instead of fruit as listed. Also did not get his juice with meal as he was supposed to. When they brought out his fruit, their was a hair in it. My food came with cabbage. She brought it back when I mentioned it and it came out with lettuce instead of cabbage, rather than no cabbage. (I guess possibly my fault for not saying no cabbage and no leafy green replacements?) By the time my food came out, my wife had looong finished her meal. Also, there were like 5 ants crawling on the table... All of these things individually would have been insignificant, all added up it was quite unenjoyable and did not feel the server had any acknowledgement of how it ruined our experience at the restaurant. read more

Well, we were pretty disappointed with our experience. Upon arriving, it was confusing where we were supposed to go, finally someone saw us and told us to go find a seat. We walked outside and picked a table. It took about 8 minutes before someone came over to bring water. There was one waiter to serve and bus 6 tables. He was completely swamped and it showed in his attitude and service. Apparently there's been quite a lot of turnover in management. 30 minutes after ordering, our food arrived. The appetizer showed up with the main course. There was no refills offered of any of our drinks and we didn't dare call the waiter over as we watched him scramble to get to each table. The order ended up being incorrect and the fries were soft, almost soggy. The view outside is beautiful and that's probably all they have going for them right now unfortunately. Also, Not kid friendly at all - no kids cups or coloring or boosters. read more

Pathetic. This is a resort. You make your living by creating good customer experiences in the hopes that they become repeat customers and refer others to your resort. This restaurant on the golf course has bad food, and worse service. I am guessing the people they use for waitstaff are actually the food service people for the golf course snack shack. None of them acted like they knew anything about actually waiting tables. Nor did I get the impression that they cared one way or the other. Food was expensive considering the poor, poor quality. Sunday morning in late summer should be your 'A' game day. Felt like they had the practice squad in. Everything was bland and had that texture associated with sitting around too long before being brought to the table. My toast actually came out cold. Not cool, but cold....like they made it when I ordered and let it sit on a plate while they cooked the rest of my meal, and let THAT get cool before bringing my almost cool omelette and cold toast to the table. Our waitress was obviously put out that she had to come in early for the burden of diners, when she probably had a hard day of handing people hotdogs and chips ahead of her. The concept of how earning a tip works was clearly beyond her. We could see our waitress in back drinking coffee and complaining to everyone in the back. She was gone so long we finally asked the only waitress who seemed to want to work if she could just get our bill for us since our waitress didn't seem inclined to come out until her coffee was gone or her shift got over. Won't go there again, don't waste your time unless you want something from the bartender or a hotdog for the golf cart. read more

Not kid friendly. We didn't end up eating. After we were seated with our three kids under age four for 20 minutes is when we were told it would be 30 minutes for food because the tickets are cooked one at a time, in order. We saw two other tables that sat down after us have their orders taken before us. So we asked if we could just get yogurt or a piece of bread quickly, since a toddler hunger riot was about to ensue. "No, our chef would still get out the yogurt once he gets to your ticket." To get quantitative, there were two couples and a family of three outside and another family of three inside before us waiting for food... so if you're considering eating here on a Saturday in the summer, expect to wait 50 minutes for every 10 people before you. We drove a block down the road and had the most delightful pastries and donuts from the bakery and fed the family for $12. So I guess thank you, otherwise we wouldn't have found that great bakery! read more

Best clam chowder I have ever had ! Sorry MO's but this was incredible ! But It might be short lived we learned tonight that the resort at the MTN where this kick ass chowder is located just SOLD TO RESTAURANTS UNLIMITED INC. the owners of many places such as Stanfords !! PLEASE OH PLEASE KEEP THE CHOWDER $6 bucks a bowl, going back before they take it from Me . read more

Mallards Cafe & Pub - There it is ! The best chowder I have ever had ! - Burgers Near Me - Welches, Oregon

We came here three days in a row because breakfast was included in our hotel stay. We found the service to be very disappointing and inconsistent. We experienced decent service the first day, and horrible service the second day and the third day. There is no Front of the House management - we waited over 30 minutes to be seated when there were many empty tables waiting to be cleaned. Other patrons ahead of us were so frustrated they just left. On our third visit we waited over 10 minutes before ordering our food and another 15 before we got our food--and was not prepared correctly. I should also mention that we ordered room service for dinner one night and our ravioli was so sweet and creamy we found it to be inedible. It is unfortunate because the staff were all so friendly and nice but they just seem mismanaged. read more

3rd time is a charm! I usually don't post for a local place until I have more than one good experience. We have had 3 great weekend lunches at The Mallards since they changed their menu. All good! NFL games, really good food, and happy hour prices on Sunday. Abraham and Candy do a great job! Great to have this place back on its game. read more

Awful service. We asked multiple times if they had dr. Pepper, each time we were told yes and then given root beer. Even after pointing out that it was root beer and that we asked for dr. Pepper, we were then given some kind of artisanal, more expensive, root beer! And again we brought attention to the mistake and were then finally told that they do not have dr. Pepper... This happened every time we came here during our stay at the Resort on the mountain. And just like the resort and the other restaurant available to us up there: inconsistent food preparation and presentation. Overworked and confused staff. The food was good. I thoroughly enjoyed the fried pickles. Would eat there again if stranded at the resort. read more

STAY AWAY!! My husband and I decided to try Mallards because they advertise having the NFL ticket. First off there were only 2 TVs so good luck on watching your game. Second, when the bartender finally came over to take our drink order (20 minutes after seated at least) he acted like it was an inconvenience. Third, the manager was sitting at the bar watching the game and when a customer asked for help he got up and said he was busy. Fourth, we had to refill our own drinks. Not a way to run a restaurant we will not be back. read more

This place SUCKS! No service, bad food (that costs more than it is worth) and no sign of management. All of this presented for your eating pleasure at a "golf resort"......LOL. The only reason there is one star is because I feel sorry for the SOLE wait staff provider, trying to serve. read more

The food was plentiful but of mediocre quality at lousy prices. The service was slow, but they appeared to be under staffed. Would recommend leaving the resort to explore other nearby dining options. read more

Sat at bar. Bartender could only be described as miserable. Couldn't be bothered to help me. I'll stop short of naming names, but if this were my restaurant I'd be more than a little concerned about staff that exhibit such a poor attitude to people paying the rent. Beer (Deschutes Twilight) poured flat and I'm suspicious about the last time the taps were properly serviced. Food was typical average golf clubhouse food. Towards ok/average. Nothing to write home about. Coupled with poor service, it'll be my last visit here. I'm sure something at the end of the block would be a better option. read more

There haven't been any reviews for a while and the restaurant changed ownership 5 months ago. However, I'm disappointed to say the current average rating is accurate. I'm giving 2 stars for the 2 out of 5 meals we ordered that were good - the French Dip and Berry Salad. We had to send the pulled pork back because it was burnt, the blackened salmon should've been sent back and the macaroni and cheese didn't come out until the rest of us were finished eating and was mediocre. Our overall experience felt very unprofessional, not in line with the "resort experience" at all. A lemon with a bug on it, a dirty glass, a forgotten meal order that wasn't verified until other dishes were being served, and when the check came, I expected a comp'ed meal or beer for all the issues, but nothing. It just seemed like they didn't care about our experience. I would recommend the management take a hard look at how they want this restaurant/bar to tie into the rest of the resort before recommending it to guests, as they did with my family. read more

Came here for Saturday morning brunch. Food was 4 stars. Service was 2 stars, not for lack of effort but for understaffing in the front and back of the house. Even with a lackluster first experience I'd give them the benefit of the doubt and try it again. The seating on the patio was very nice. read more

Close to home with a new and improved menu. Classic menu items with a twist and almost all of it can be made to fit your dietary needs. Unique items such as duck sliders and deep fried Twinkies. Prime Rib Tuesdays and sports on the TVs. You can mingle with locals and hotel guests. Beautiful location in the heart of the forest nestled next to a golf course. Come experience it yourself. read more

The service is a complete joke. They usually have one person working trying to service 5-10 tables. The wait time to get a breakfast burrito is over an hour. This is inexcusable for a "resort." Especially since they close the main restaurant at 10am. read more

We came here on the hottest day of the year. In an effort to escape the heat we ate inside although seating on the patio looked nice and would have been the better choice. I get they are up on the mountain and might not need AC very often but it was HOT in the dining room. Service was slow and I think the forgot our food but once we got it we did like the food. I had the blue cheese bacon cheese burger and fries. My wife had the home made corn dogs. It came with two huge corn dogs. If you are at the resort this seems like a place to eat and the food is good. Maybe have a snack before you come though... read more

There's no host at the host stand. The bartender was missing. I sat on the patio and the server showed up after 15 minutes to take a drink order and never came back. I got tired of sitting on the patio that smelled like urine so I left. read more

I must say I'm pleasantly surprised at the depth and expertly prepared food. All of the experience was a good one. The greeting at the door to the bartender serving us. Awesome food. I will be back. Thank you so much for this today. read more

Mallards Cafe & Pub - Burgers Near Me - Welches, Oregon

OMG stay away. Ate there last summer and it was outstanding. Went there last night with my wife and two daughters. Place looked deserted. Seating was terrible. Food was so bad. We ordered fish and chips w/siracha tartar sauce, chicken strips and bean burger. My wife and I "upgraded" to garlic fries. I got my order and it was laughable. My fries were the same as my daughter only with a minced raw garlic clove. Everthing appeared to have come from the freezer aisle at Freds. No siracha (which was listed on the menu) and to top it off the one inviting looking seating area is near the bar and we were asked to leave because of my daughter's age. The next room with a fire place etc literally has a pool table and arcade games. Then we arrived at our table in the deserted part of the restaurant. We saw the server maybe 4 times who was nice but unavailable because we were seated in another wing. I live down the street from this place and frequently eat at area restaurants. Not here again. BEWARE OF THE MALLARDS at the Resort at the Mt. read more

Bad upper management. Overworked staff. If the new owner gets their s. Hit together, I'll change my review.

Ate on the opening night for winter dining available on Thursday-Friday. We had the steak special and blackened salmon on Caesar salad. Steak was very good. Cooked as requested and tender. Salmon was also excellent with taste of clam chowder. Entrance into Mallards needs to be more inviting and welcoming. Very dark and gloomy. We will definitely be back. Also the server Cory was friendly and welcoming. read more

Great food, but totally disorganized. If you can finally find a server to seat you, eventually you might get service. Unfortunately, your options are fairly limited at the resort, so most likely, if you are staying at the resort, you will end up eating here. On the good side, they do have outdoor seating that has a fabulous view! read more

Impossible to find. Look for golf course bag drop and walk around to other side. Lovely lawn tables. Happy hour 4-6. Drinks and food so so. Relaxing spot. read more

Really, really great food! We had the strawberry salad, Mac and cheese, and blackened shrimp carbonara! All were excellent, fresh, flavorful, and very reasonably priced. Wine suggestions were also great! We ate on the patio, which has a brilliant and beautiful view of the mountains and gulf course! The service was probably the best part of this restaurant experience! A young waiter from our hometown from Livermore, CA was very nice, helpful, attentive, and respectful! All in all, great restaurant! read more
