    Lobster Roll

    Swung into Mallards for lunch with some friends and had a great meal. The server was great and took the cues that we were a chatty group so was attentive without interrupting a lot. The space is open and bright, and there was a good amount of seating including and active bar. It was Friday so probably busier than a normal weekday, but we didn't have a wait for our table at 1PM. The lobster roll was delightful. Great flavor, love the large chunks of the lobster meat. It was a little tricky to eat as the bun didn't quite contain the innards but easily solve by using a knife and fork. The fries were also top notch! Perfectly crispy! My friend had the lobster quiche which she said was really yummy too. Great crust and the side salad was a nice light balance to the richness of the quiche.

    Visited Mallards with a friend on a Wednesday evening at about 4:45pm. There was a ton of seating so that was nice - our server took awhile between visits but it was ok. We both ordered the chicken strip basket with the hot sauce on the side (warning the Nashville hot sauce is HOT HOT not just a pleasant hot but like VERY SPICY HOT). All of the food tasted really good, even the coleslaw and I'm not a huge fan of it. The restaurant is clean and wasn't too loud so it was very pleasant. Would definitely visit again.

    Got the crab stuffed lobster tails. A piece of one the tails was visibly raw (translucent). Chef came out and loudly insisted it was cooked through, but it definitely wasn't. The chef came across as aggressive and rude, and a bit defensive. Our server, a young blonde boy, was super nice though!!

    They are known for their seafood & Cajun flare! They are located in Bloomington, Forest Lake (highlighter in this reel), Inver Grove Heights, New Richmond & Shakopee. Some of their most popular dishes: Lobster Bisque, Walleye Bites, jambalaya & their lobster roll! This is one of my go to restaurants! Always great food and service. Love the outdoor patio in summer and a has a soft lighting ambiance inside with lots of seating next to large windows!

    The food was great! Happy hour rocks and the servers were nice. Make sure you have an hour because the food takes a bit. Ambiance was good.

We were about to get seated quickly in a booth. There was a big group of high school basketball players and parents near us. It was nice to see all their food come out from the kitchen so I see/smell things before I ordered. Sis decided on the Whiskey Burger and that was a part of the 2 for $20 deal. So we looked over our appetite options. Mozzarella sticks are always a solid choice. I decided on the new menu item, the O-M-Chz burger. Both entrees came with fries. Whiskey burger was a classic cheeseburger with bacon. The Whiskey bbq sauce had chucks of bacon in it too. "Very good". OMC came out pre-cut in half, cut end side down, sitting in a sizzling melted cheese sauce. And on a hot plate similar to fajitas. I thought delicious. And I would call it a open faced Juicy Lucy. It came with a hot honey mustard sauce. I am glad I asked for it on the side. It would have been too much flavor if on the burger. Overall, a successful visit for lunch. Staff was friendly and checked on us the right amount of times.

I spent my 20's as a server at an Applebees and am not easily impressed. Applebees is not a usual choice, but Becky may have changed my attitude. Well done. Becky is a gem.

I chose pancakes, chicken fried steak, fruit and scrambled eggs. Everyone ordered something different, and we all thought our breakfast was yummy and scrumptious! We really loved and enjoyed our food, only wish there was a Village Inn closer to where we live, but I guess this way we can look forward to our visit here in Wyoming whenever we visit Pine haven Farm. Thank you so much for a wonderful meal and time at your establishment!
