Born and raised in Kansas City Missouri, southern hospitality is on the top of our list. It’s more than tradition. It’s ice cold beer, key lime pie, and a party in our backyard. Our family wanted to turn passion into a reality in 2013, so we came together and opened Mallards. With Dad in charge of the menu all of our favorites started showing up! From Jambalaya to Tennessee Hot Chicken, our story finds itself on each and every plate!

    We have done experience like this before and this was the best one to date. The selection of meats and the salad/sides were incredible - I have no qualms coming back just for the salad/side only portion. The service was great and the number of different meats served was really great!

    I truly enjoyed the Turkey Reuben with fries, and my wife had the delicious Chicken Littles on scratch-made biscuits accompanied by Loarded Potato Salad. We also enjoyed the generous Classic Cheese Curds - ummm ummm! The night we were there, they had a host leading free Bingo games with prizes! Really a fun atmosphere and great all-around experience!

    Food and ambience were great. The steaks were beautifully prepared. But the halibut had the most amazing sauce. My favourite was the raspberry point oysters from PEI. They were the creamiest and cleanest-tasting oysters that I have tasted. I had to order a second serving. Definitely will return here on my next trip.
