Gary's was great once again. We had a very good experience. Popovers and Shortrib nachos were very good. I had the Fillet and my wife ordered the walleye and both were excellent. I ordered the sautéed mushrooms and onions and an order of Brussel Sprouts. Needless to say all were very good. It was too much food, we took home lots of leftovers. It was a wonderful experience although the dining room was very loud. As the evening progressed, fewer diners made for a quieter atmosphere which was welcomed. Always a great experience, highly recommended.

About the restaurant

Mallards is serving up award winning seafood & Cajun fare with southern hospitality.

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 had a great time. The food and drinks were delicious. Service was a little slow, but I imagine they were short-staffed. Our waitress was delightful and we weren't really in a hurry anyway.
