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! read more

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??? read more

Had a reservation for today. Been here an hour and 40 so far. No food. Sat 10 minutes before a waiter even came to the table. Drank our drinks have had to ask for refills. Can't comment on the food has not come yet. This is an absolute disaster compared to last year. Won't do Mother's Day here again. Also my drink glass was chipped. Let the waiter know. He took it refilled wife and daughters drinks and I have no drink or glass now. So food came complete disappointment. Fries were cold and dry. Food had been sitting under the heat lamps while they served others. My family and I have worked in the restaurant business over 30 years. Just wanted to tell them. Dump the plate and start over. At least you'd have served hot food even if was a 2 hour wait. Oh well. So summary Food terrible, service terrible, and ambiance was non existent. You all sat the bar so high last year no way possible I thought you could fall this far. But you managed to do it Mallards. Good luck. Won't take much effort to improve over this. read more

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. read more

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 read more

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 read more

Extremely full restaurant, but staff made room for us in minutes. Food was delicious and hot even with so many customers.

I was impressed by the layout of the restaurant and everything. We ordered the meatball appetizer, which was amazing and very flavorful. I ordered the steak alfredo, I was disappointed with the amount of steak that you receive with the order including the price and the flavor was poor. My significant other ordered one o the tacos and he enjoyed them. Overall, I don't think that I would come here again. read more

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

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

So delicious. The crab cake Benedict, pecan crusted walleye, and the keto bowl were the standouts at our table. The grits were good, but didn't have much verity. The employees were kind enough to make a grilled version of their fried shrimp, which turned out excellent. read more

Honest review here. We were actually planning to go to a restaurant down the road from Mallards, but we arrived to find a sign on their door saying they were opening a couple hours late. So we did a quick check of Mallards menu and decided to give it a try. What a great find! We started off with cocktails. They make a nice Old Fashioned. We ordered the meatball appetizer thinking that if we didn't like it we would try somewhere else for dinner, but those meatballs served with home made marinara and ricotta where undeniably terrific. We looked over the menu again but were having trouble making a decision so we asked our waiter, Hansen, for a suggestion. He named three items: the lobster roll, jambalaya, and Nashville hot chicken sandwich. We opted for the jambalaya. It was great: shrimp, chicken, andouille sausage, onions and green pepper in a smokin' hot sauce over risotto is a wonderful fusion of flavors. The dish is spicy without blowing out your tastebuds. It is a generous portion. We split the dish and could not finish it. Mallards is a fun place. It is casuals with eclectic music playing in the background: The Beatles to John Mellencamp to Luke Bryant. The menu is atypical which makes it fun. With lobster rolls, fried walleye, shrimp and grits, and blackened salmon folks who prefer fish will be happy. With surf n turf, blackened filet, Korean chicken tacos, and meatball marinara those who prefer meat or poultry have plenty of options. The service is good and friendly. The food makes you want to come back. read more

Sarah was our waitress and she was amazing. Good server and managed to greet every customer as they walked in too. She's good. Now on to the food. Had bisque, again taco wraps, house red wine, tennessee sandwich and the barramundi Rodrigo fish with risotto. Super delicious. Normally we get the jumbalya but changed it up. read more

Had breakfast at Mallards in New Richmond this morning and was thoroughly disappointed! Service was very slow and unorganized. Food took forever to come out and 75% was cold when it did come out. Nashville hot chicken sandwich had good flavor and lots of potential but was cold when it was served. Only bright spot is the biscuits and gravy which is just as good as other locations. Other Mallards locations have been great very disappointed in my first experience at our local Mallards. read more

Had dinner here last night. Service was horrible [tip reflected that]. Had to get our own silerware and ask for refills on the drinks. Never once did she ask how everything was. Save your money. Walleye bites was our appetizers-frozen and gross. jambalaya was good, buger was good - would have been better with mustard [had to ask for that half way through my burger]. Just all around bad service..wasn't even busy so you can't use that excuse! read more

This is the type of restaurant New Richmond really needed. We have all kinds of fast food and bar food but good, "home cooked" meals are few and far between around here. I wouldn't say this is your typical steak house type vibe but it's kind of a more laid back version of that. The food is really good, more seasoning and flavor than you receive at a fancy steak house. Portions are more than enough! I like that the servers wear more casual clothing, it's more fitting for location. The prices are reasonable for the type of food you're getting but it's definitely not a place most people could afford to feed a family at too often. Overall, I think this restaurant is a good fit herb We will be back for sure! read more

This is one of our "go-to" restaurants. We live in Hudson with plenty of choices but Mallards is worth the drive. We've always had great service and amazing food. read more

Worst food. Mashed potatoes were cold, lobster Mac and cheese was ice cold and no flavor. My steak with the surf and turf tasted oily and was the size of a half a deck of cards but that might be too big. Waited over 30 minutes for our server to come back to the table but I had to hunt him down and told him that my husband's meal was cold. No apology nothing. I will never return and spend my hard earned money elsewhere. read more

First time trying Mallards. Had the oven fired pizza and my husband had a burger and chip both were excellent. Big shout out to Sarah our waitress, so friendly and above excellent on our service. They were out of A-1,my husband eats this on his burgers, and Sarah went next door bought a bottle from the neighboring restaurant. Now that is excellent service. We will be back. Thanks Mallards for a great dinning experience! read more

Our second time going since we moved to new Richmond and the food was phenomenal once again.

Wait staff was all very friendly and attentive. Will be eating here many more times. read more

I can't attest to the service here, because I've always ordered takeout due to COVID. Each of the three times I've ordered the barramundi, it has been overcooked. The last time, it was so overcooked it wasn't edible. It's such a shame to take a beautiful piece of fish and ruin it. My experience with cooking a filet like this is 2 to 3 minutes, tops. It's expensive, so I won't order it again. read more

I've always loved the Forest Lake location whenever I've been there on work, and this time work took me to New Richmond. I wasn't disappointed! At the Forest Lake location, I've only ever ordered the jambalaya, because it's absolutely phenomenal - one of the best jambalayas I've ever had. I couldn't help but order the same here, and it was just as good. I ate at the bar, and the service was a tad slow, but I could tell it was for good reason. The bar was packed, and the main bartender clearly had her work cut out for her. It might have been frustrating, but I could see that there was at least one bartender who appeared to be in training, so they're clearly working to alleviate that issue. With that said, I can't complain one bit! Outstanding spot, and I'll definitely be back. read more

We have always enjoyed mallards in Bayport, but living in new Richmond it was not the most convenient dining choice. Now that's all changed!

So went to Mallards in New Richmond WI. Came in it was busy,I understand that. When we sat down we had to wait 10min for water.

Won't be coming back. read more
