Very friendly wait staff. The atmosphere was very amazing. The food was really superb.

We stopped for lunch on a Friday while passing through from KC to Springfield. They had a good size crowd but service was fast, friendly and efficient. We started with cheese curds that were good. Then mahi mahi sandwich and French dip special. The mahi was grilled nicely - flaky tender texture, not dried out. It came with a garlic aioli but was good in its own with grilled flavor and generous squeeze of lemon. The French dip had good quality meat and was better than average. We chose coleslaw for our sides. It was flavorful - a bit creamier and heavier dressed than our personal preference - but tasty. The rustic decor has charm and the currently displayed Christmas touches are festive and cute. We have driven by this place many times without stopping but that was a mistake! It's a great place to have a solid meal. read more

Best food ever! Service is awesome friendly smiling and welcoming! I will always stop here!

Steak was overcooked Rolls tasted stale. pork tenderloin iwas ok Service good and nice looking restaurant.

I tried their famous tenderloin. It must be famous for all the breading. It wasn't very good. My wife had the boom boom tacos. They were pretty good. I wouldn't go back but I'm not a local. read more

Good service. A little short on barbq options, but overall tasty food moderately priced as well. read more

I was in town visiting family and wanted a pork tenderloin. The reviews were good so we gave it a try. Service was good, the place inside was nice/rustic. Green beans and roll were yummy. The breading on the tenderloin was super thick and the potatoes were sticky. Overall it was good. read more

Stopped on the way to KC with our grandkids. Fast friendly service and the food was really good. We could have split the pork tenderloin sandwich 4 ways! Loved the seasoned French fries. Will definitely stop again. read more

The decor was nice. The service was very good. Our waitress kept our drinks filled and checked on us frequently. I ordered the tenderloin plate. The tenderloin was hand breaded and very good. It was a hefty portion. I didn't care for the mashed potatoes as they were overloaded with garlic. Green beans were okay. read more

The ambiance was great and the food delicious. I had a salad with Cajun fish, spicy and good.

Nice customer service and the steaks are so good. Love the decor. Usually ask for custom alcoholic drinks and they're made well and not watered down. read more

Possibly the best chicken fried chicken I've had. My husband recommends the brisket salad. The seasonal sweet potatoes fries with marshmallow fluff dip were a hit too! read more

Delicious! Pork Tenderloin was worth the trip and the burgers are also fantastic. Great service and a fun atmosphere.

Good atmosphere, friendly waiters, food preparation was lacking quality. Soggy bread , way too much thousand island dressing on a Rueben.

Nice pub and restaurant, good food and good service! Chicken fried chicken was good, nice crust cooked perfect!

The service was very good and the food better! We will be coming back here for sure!

Wow! This is a blast from the past; a genuine roadhouse with huge servings of down-home cooked staples. I've hunted all my life, but the B&W hunting pics in Mallards take me back to the glory days of a bygone era. My Chicken Fried Pork Tenderloin was enormous, tender, and delicious! The Green Beans and Mashed Potato sides were also tasty. My wife loved her Chicken Sandwich, w side of Baked Beans. No room for dessert; I was barely able to waddle back outside to our jeep. The service was good and the restrooms were clean. I wanna go back for a drink at the bar! read more

Great stop along our journey. Great food and wonderful service. Also loved the way the seating area is arranged. There were a lot of people but you never felt crowded. Will definitely come back the next time we are in the area! read more

A LOCAL favorite! Home cooked food was very good and filling! Great prices. So glad we made the effort to stop. Wait staff could be a bit more welcoming but did ok. Could be a five star stop with a bit of pizzazz. Gravel parking lot just off the highway. read more

Food was good. Was pretty slow getting it. Cute place. Food was good but not very well seasoned. We will give it another try in a month or 2 read more

Great service and good food! The patio was wonderful for kids! Will return again on the way to branson!

I found this place a few months when I registered for the Historic Clinton 5k and Marathon. Then everything got postponed. Today I picked up my race packet and knew I would eat there. I had their catfish with hush puppies and French fries. Mini Molton Lava cake for desert. Mallard's is just as the other reviewers say. On the inside it's rustic (kind of like the restaurant on Meramac River near the caverns. Caverns. Besides the inside being beautifully rustic, the food was so good. I've eaten at a lot of places in MO. Especially around the Ozarks. I would put this in the top 10. The food was delicious. The service was dead on. The staff wore masks and are very aware of masks, distancing and things going on right now. I absolutely love this place and will return when I am in the area. read more

The food is iffy once again. But I sweat. If the waitresses pull their leggings up their butts anymore they will be tasting it for days! I don't understand why they think it's work appropriate attire and why they think that it'll give them more tips. But it's outright ridiculous! The ladies who work here think they are all high and mighty and can treat you like your stupid. What a shame read more

Always delicious, quick service, AMAZING fries. 100% recommend. I've yet to have anything that wasn't good. Their drinks from the bar are also perfectly poured. Boom boom shrimp is my go to, but also love the mahi mahi, tenderloin, pulled pork, salads, anything honestly. Such good grub, you won't be disappointed read more

This Place is Wonderful. Pickles were nice and the BBQ Combo Sandwich was tasty. Overall good and id eat here again. 4 Stars.

Green beans were very good. Bake potato was small and definitely not a baking potato. KC strip steak was thin with grilse and fat. The $45 porterhouse was thick, and it was a good steak. Everything else was average or below. Service and mixed drink were lacking. Poor parking. Underwhelming, it was my first and last trip. read more

I went in for berger and decided to get the fish sandwich instead and I must say it was so ridiculously good! I have not had such a good fish sandwich ever! I will definitely be back read more

Got a recommendation to try this place on the road back home from work. Really pleased with the quick and pleasant wait staff. Ordered the cheese curds and Ribeye. Both were fantastic. Would definitely come back here again. read more

This place is fantastic. If you have the opportunity you should not pass by this place! Homemade food. The pork tenderloin sandwich was huge, hand breaded and fried to a thin and juicy perfection. So tasty. The prime rib sandwich was the daily special. Husband said the caramelized onions were so sweet and good. Came with a real horseradish sauce and au jus. Cheeseburger was a typical Cheeseburger- we however, are beef snobs- eating homegrown butchered beef on the daily so most restaurant beef doesn't impress us. The ranch dressing was the best the family has ever had. Customer service- excellent. Decor is rustic but clean and well maintained. Price is from $10 and up. Prime rib sandwich special was $11.99. Food is so good-- definitely worth the cost. read more

Pros: prompt service and a nice atmosphere. Cons: my medium steak came out rare. I liked my daughter's kids meal better than my main meal. read more

Yum is the best way to describe the burgers here! I had the bbq bacon cheeseburger which consisted of goodly sized patty cooked to perfection and dripping with tangy bbq sauce and melty cheese galore. The bacon was nice and smoky and overall the burger was substantial. The fries were seasoned well but not overly so. Cheese curds were pretty good as well. The interior of the place was nice and cool and it was a good break from the road with friendly attentive waitresses and clean restrooms. read more

Great food, atmosphere and staff. I had the Ruben , which my GF pointed out was the special that day posted by the host stand. It was delicious!! I'm a baked bean lover (try whenever on the menu).. Have to say, better than most bbq restaurants. I will definitely stop again when I'm passing through. Highly recommend!! read more

The food is overpriced for the mediocre quality. They only get away with it because they don't really have competition here. A similar place could open up with the same mediocre food and reasonable prices and this place would be gone in a couple years. The portions get smaller every time I go in until it just wasn't worth it anymore. The front entrance smells like urine and vomit no matter what time of day you visit. The service is hit and miss. read more
