Best Kid Friendly Restaurants in Brown Deer

I was pleasantly surprised to stumble across Mallard’s when we were looking online for somewhere different to eat. We were unaware it had opened at the beginning of the year. Surprisingly quiet for a Saturday night. More marketing is needed because the food and service were great and the prices are reasonable.

Micah was great ... wings were good ... good Craft beer selection

Great place for the family. Good food and great service

Total experience was first-time great! We had a reservation and were succinctly offered a lovely table for our party of 4 that felt intimate and close, while still in the middle of an active scene. We were celebrating the night before our wedding with friends that couldn’t make it the next day, so we wanted a very casual, cozy evening and they delivered! Cocktails were up first and just right. We got the fries on a whim and are still talking about them in the group chat two days later. Pizza menu is super exciting and it’ll obviously take us several visits to even comment on what’s the best. Our party had some dietary needs and they were handily catered to. The service was so, so great! So many different people tended to us, and never short on anything we needed. We’ll come back again and again just for the beaming personalities and attention to detail. And an easy hop-in after work in its location!

Food was good to very good, except the three cheese truffle flatbread, which was very plain, missing any truffle flavor and seemed to be topped with the cheapest grated parm. Service was ok, could be better. I don't think a single finished plate was cleared until we left the table. Service was courteous, at least. Admittedly, I was annoyed that they claimed not to take reservations, even though I had a reservation on OpenTable. It just wasn't a good look for our birthday dinner, kind of embarrassing and awkward. We enjoyed the outdoor area; firepit, giant jenga, giant Connect 4, bag toss, comfy seating, live music. Overall, good.
