Came here to celebrate my little sister's birthday since she has been wanting to try this place. I ordered the corn fritters, not sure that's the exact title and the crab cakes and the sangria from the happy hour menu. She ordered the shrimp and grits. Everything tasted pretty good, but would agree it was slow service even though it wasn't busy. Definitely a place to try.
We tried Mallards at Bayshore for the first time this week. This place has really flown under the radar, I'm at Bayshore somewhat frequently and didn't realize they were even in this spot. The restaurant is large, spacious, and well decorated. We had a group of 8 and were seated right away on a Wednesday. We got there in time to order a few $5 apps from the happy hour menu. We all liked the elote fritters! The walleye and crab cakes were also good. We all tried something different. Between the NOLA Salmon, Ahi Tacos, Shrimp Cobb, Spicy Pasta, and even the cheeseburger sliders. Everyone really enjoyed their meals. They even brought out an Apple Pie for my dad's birthday! The only complaint I had is it was very slow. From ordering, to getting our food, and the longest wait was for our bill. With a 1.5 year old, we were eager to get going but waited about a half hour after finishing dinner to get the bill. Prices are pretty fair for the quality and quantity you get. Definitely would still go back, just not if we were in a rush!
Took a really long time ~ 1 hr to make the food. I think they're overall understaffed. They left a pitcher of water at our table to serve ourselves. Clean and well lit place though. The shrimp and grits is decent flavor but the grits are clumped into a bar. Definitely just take it home, add a bit of butter and cream and mash it back up so it's a creamy texture as opposed to a coagulated block
Haven't been to Bayshore center for a while. Decided on this restaurant at the last minute. It was near the location that a music performance, later on that evening. So between the location, and menu, we took a chance. Glad that we did. Made a 6pm reservation and got right in. The place was about 1/3 full. The place is very spacious, with lots of different areas, and table options. They also have outdoor patio seating, which would be a treat during nice weather. The noise level is good, and allowed us to have a quiet conversation. Our server got to us right away with water and menus. Wasn't interested in a drink, but a hot tea on a cold night was a good choice. The menu had a nice selection of starters, salads, sandwiches and entrees. There were some excellent sounding choices, so I asked our servers for some recommendations, which she was happy (and almost excited) to help with. We decided the Elote Corn Fritters, I got the Mallard Melt (new item), and my date got the Blackened Fish Tacos. The corn fritters arrived after a short wait. They were absolutely amazing! The flavors were bright, spicy, but not hot. The inside texture was both moist and crumbly. A very yummy start. After another short wait, the patty melt and the fish tacos came. Both of these were the right temps, flavorful, and good portions. The garlic toast for the melt was nicely grilled. The pimento cheese, bacon jam, and nashville aioli were also tasty, but they tended to overly blend with each other. Instead of chips, I had ordered the veggie fries, with are pan grilled beans and carrots. That was a nice change for fried chips. The fish tacos were nicely plated, with good portions. Lots of interesting flavors from the avocado cream and hot sauce. It was a very good last minute choice. The menu selection, service and atmosphere were better than I might expect. Would definitely come back again. And for sure, get those tasty Elote Corn Fritters.
We had a great brunch! The bottomless mimosas were such a great deal and our server Shawn was amazing. He took care of us and had us all laughing. Its the best restaurant experience I have had in Milwaukee in awhile. The food was pretty standard, but the service and prices made it exceptional. We will absolutely be back for the brunch!
I enjoyed the prices on the happy hour menu. The St. Croix Margarita is very sweet, but good if you only plan on having one. The bartender was friendly!
Always love Dad & Daughter dinner dates here! Food is delicious, location is great, and will certainly be back!
This was my second visit in 10 days. I must say it wasn't quite the same as the first visit. Maybe the server was new, maybe they were shortstaffed I'm not sure, but it wasn't crowded and our table of five felt rushed and almost suggested that we leave by bringing the check without even asking if we wanted another round of drinks or any other food! The corn fritters were kind of dry and not what I remembered less than two weeks ago. I must say the Wally bites were delicious and fresh and lightly breaded. The shrimp tacos were kind of a spicy hot surprise. All I could taste was the heat, but the shrimp were very sizable and tender! My dining companion couldn't even eat hers as They were so spicy. The crabcake was probably also a top favorite as the sangria really hit the spot!
We came back to try again. And yes, just as good as before. We had for appetizers: Chicken Wings with Korean Bbq sauce and Cheese Curds.Drinks were 2 raspberry lemon drop martini, Chardonnay. Main entrees: Meatloaf, Mushroom Pappardelle with chicken, Barramundi Rodrigo, and Salmon New Orleans. Everyone liked their meals. My meatloaf was good. Their meatloaf is more tomato based over the meatloaf while I'm more of gravy on my meatloaf. But the food is good and I'm sure we'll return.a great place for 4 to sit and have a conversation Our server Chaz was great. A great asset to the restaurant.
Overall, nice spot for a date, but not necessarily the most foodie place. Our server was very, overly enthusiastic, spoke superfast, and long. As nice as he was, I felt more like I was listening to my professor going over the semester, then a server going over the menu. He explained that they made everything fresh, in house. Including their bread. I was under wild by their freshly made bread, which came toasted on my pasta dish. It didn't feel as fresh because it had come toasted with burnt spots. They also have a Brandy that the restaurant gets special made for them. This one was really good. Our bartender had to leave due to sickness before starting on our drinks, so our server said that he made the drinks himself. Unfortunately, the bartender would have probably done a better job. Well the drinks that the server made wasn't bad, it was definitely not quite as professional as it could have been. For example, there are certain drinks that should not come with ice, since it's supposed to be shaken. The food is all good. Solid. But not what I would call excellent. Actually, the shrimp and lobster pasta dish I had was excellent. Had this been the only thing I had gotten, I would have raved about it. Very mind though, that this dish was $25. But Hubby had the fish and chips Which was again, good, but just that. Nothing spectacular. And there was pretty much nothing else that my friends had that looked especially exciting. So for the price and the service we received, I'd say the place is solid, but not necessarily my go to. I will go with a group, but not sure if this would be my date place.
Date of visit: January 24, 2025 After a long week, my husband and I wanted nothing more than some relaxing conversation with our closest friends accompanied by good food. Mallard's succeeded on both fronts! Shaun took wonderful care of us, letting us know right at the beginning of the meal that the kitchen was very busy and offered us soup or salad to help pass the time, a wonderful offer that went a long way towards ensuring the entire experience was a five-star one! The gratis soup, by the way, was an excellent clam chowder, served with crackers (as all soups should be), and was quite good. We started with the Daily Bread. Dear reader, I would snatch this loaf from an old lady like Seinfeld it was so good! Partially sliced to make it easier to share, it came with three sides: a pimento cheese, a jam, and a honey butter. I skipped the pimento but the other two somehow managed to elevate the bread, which I didn't think was quite possible. I had the Turkey Club and it was decent, but not amazing. I prefer my clubs to be a bit more warm, especially the bread--though the cranberry bread it was served on was excellent. Everyone does something different with their clubs so I'm not docking them for my personal preference. The side of chips were good, though I would have perished and ascended to the heavens if they had been salt and vinegar chips! Bayshore--really the North Shore in general--has been a restaurant desert, so excited to have Mallard's helping to fill the void and I hope they continue to do great things.
There's been some changes at this location at Bayshore over the years. Decent places but nothing special. Mallards is the most promising of them all. The staff, both times I went, was great. Very friendly. The first time I went, with my wife, I had to step outside multiple times to take calls because of a family emergency. The server couldn't have been nicer about it. The menu has a nice range of options and everything I've had thus far has been excellent. From fish to Nashville hot chicken to clam chowder...all the things we've had were tasty! We live very close to Bayshore, and it's great to have a high quality option so near to our home! Been there twice already and will be back soon!
What a lovely experience. Friends and I went for a girls night on a Friday night they weren't too busy. Good for casual night out w family and or friends. The menu is majority seafood but there's still options for those who don't partake. The happy hour was nice, I enjoyed the St. Croix Margarita and the Elote Corn Fritters, I loved the fried texture. Our waiter Anthony was new to the establishment but was super friendly, we had conversations about many cool ideas and concepts. He was truly amazing! I had the shrimp and crab pappardelle but after leaving I realized there was little to no crab. The food overall was really good, I would like to come back and try more from the menu. Prices were fairly decent. Paid about $35 for an entree, and a drink and app from the happy hour menu. read more

First time there visited from Louisvillle Enjoyed a regular margarita tasted like green juice and water. Tried a cinnamon margarita and it was better. Tried the Lobster Bisque definitely had better. It was very watery and not a lot of lobster. My friend had the red beans and rice and was not impressed. Service good. Ambiance great. read more

I've been to Mallards twice, the first time I was thrilled with the service and the food. And the second time months later there was a lot to be desired in both areas. I brought my family thinking the food would be good and most of it was cold and bland. We did like the appetizers- walleye bites and boudin balls. There were some big groups dining at the same time which may have impacted service but either way I was pretty disappointed with the experience. read more

We dined at Mallards on Monday and below is my take away for this restaurant. Food: 4 stars. The elote corn fritters comes 3 on a plate and I have to say they were amazing. They came out hot and when you bite into them they were so moist. Not sure what I was expecting, but very good. I ordered the Shrimp Cobb salad and if you like avocado, bacon , and shrimp you should like this salad. My friend got the surf and turf and said his food was really good. Service 3.5: where's the manager or host? We lucked out and got seated right away while we saw others wait a few minutes to be seated. Not sure if there was a manager was there or a host, but not a great look for a new restaurant and people waiting to be seated when it wasn't that busy. Our waitress Meagan deserves 5 stars. She hustled and apologized for the delay. The only delay we had was our appetizer maybe took a little long, but we didn't even notice. Mallards has the potential to be a great restaurant, but they need to work out some kinks in order to prevent the curse of yet another restaurant in this location going out of business. read more
Went to Mallard's with a friend for the first time and it was really good! We got the seafood campechana as our free app and I ordered the Tennessee hot chicken sandwich with fries. The seafood campechana was super fresh and delicious and my sandwich was flavorful! The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. I'll definitely have to come back to try their other dishes! read more

Beautiful bar area. The bartender asked if we needed something right away. They had bowling and basketball game on the tvs which I loved. We were here to pick up our order from Charley Cat Hot Chicken. The server was great and offered to take our order instead of sending us to the bar. We were left wanting to dine in at Mallards. Hope to be back soon! read more
Just had a great lunch at mallards today! Went out with my nana and she can be pretty picky so the fact we're rating this 5 stars says something! She loves it because everyone is friendly, it's clean, and it's comfortable. Our waiter was so nice and knowledgeable on the menu. My nana got the 1/2 sandwich and salad, the croutons are homemade and delicious. I ordered the mallard melt-- so good! It's a little sweet and spicy. You have to get the veggie fries too they were salty and YUM. We also shared the cheese curds that come with 3 sauces-- the berry jam is AMAZING. I will come back for sure! read more

A Great find in the Bayshore Mall area! Our reservation was honored promptly. The restaurant ambiance, dim lit dining room and decor complimented our experience. The menu offered many creative dishes with second thoughts on what to choose. Shrimp and crab boil was an amazing starter appetizer. Seafood Gumbo and Lobster Brioche Roll with warm butter as our main courses were absolutely delicious! We dared for dessert with sharing of the warm homemade apple pie (with ice cream if you like) every morsel pure decadence. This hidden gem is a great visit in the Bayshore Mall area of Glendale Wisconsin. read more
The food was OK. The shrimp tacos the tortilla was cold and hard. The Elote fritter tasted like I was eating corndogs still good, but not what I was looking for in regards of flavor. The crabcakes taste was good but it looks more like just something that was dropping into the plate not an actual form of a cake or consistency. The Mediterranean bowl with the blackened chicken it was average OK the description said that it has some quinoa but mine has absolutely none. The chickpeas inside the salad seems like were just drop out of the can into a salad nothing special to it. Service can improve definitely more attention bringing at least water to the table a little bit faster while we sit and wait for 20 minutes to get drinks a table next to us came in later and sit down got their drinks and food fairly quickly while we were just getting our meals by the same server after them. The restaurant looks fine. I know they open not too long ago so there is a couple of things that they could improve in regards of the service and food overall if you're hungry and you want to get something kind of decent to eat this was OK read more
