Mallards Restaurant and Lounge

Thank you Dylan for fantastic service and fixing my burger order for me. It’s a little loud in there. Busy place because the food and service is outstanding. It was hard to find parking on a Saturday. We circled the lot a couple times until someone left. The peanut butter smash burger was delicious! It’s only a dollar to upgrade to fries. Which i did. My daughter got the fish tacos which were too spicy for her. We will be back for their great happy hour. They have nice t-shirts and sweatshirts for sale.

This was a great experience. We were sat down immediately and our server was great as well. I had been here once before but played it safe and just ordered a burger .This time around I had a crab cake which was probably the best I’ve had in a long time. Plenty of crab, seasoned to perfection, nice size, the sear on this crab cake was flawless, just a sear not burnt, it was juicy as well not over packed with filler and dry and the Cajun sauce on top the best. I probably should have gotten more lol, but it was just the appetizer. Next I had the Blackened Fish tacos. The walleye was delicious so flaky, nicely seared and flavor was lacking a bit but the lemon vinaigrette , Pico and avocado cream helped. I did still need to add a bit of salt. Now there is a hot sauce on the tacos that I over looked so I didn’t like that but I don’t like hot sauce at all. Over all , it was really good. My husband ordered the fish and chips. He liked its but out of ten it was like a seven. He didn’t like the batter too much but still enjoyed the food . I would recommend this place if you are looking for a nice happy hour or an elevated seafood experience not Oceanaire but just the every day experience if that make sense.

We had such a wonderful family dinner at Mallards! The food was delicious, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The seafood boil with shrimp, crab, potatoes, and corn was amazing!

Our server, Melissa, went above and beyond. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed. The patio seating was the perfect spot for us to enjoy the evening together, and it really made the experience feel extra special.

Fantastic location in Bloomington! Their service is amazing. The food is delicious as heck. Love the vibe. The restaurant has. Definitely will be coming back. Not much to say here other than we ordered more than 10 different things on the menu and everything was delicious. The one nice thing is that they can also accommodate for allergens like gluten-free which someone in our party needed and they were more than happy to accommodate.

Our server Sam was awesome! The food was great, we had the Korean meatballs 12/10, the spicy shrimp pasta, the meatloaf and the corn bread, everything was fantastic! GET THE CHOCOLATE CAKE, you will not be disappointed! Will definitely be back!

Another winning Sunday Brunch with my group! I always check the menu before we go and the majority of the things I wanted were “spicy” so I stuck to the happy hour appetizers which were spectacular the elote fritters are a definite tease so get two orders…just saying. The crab cake sauce had a lil kick to it too. I needed some hot sauce for my walleye fingers which were delicious by the way. I ordered the crunchy French toast and a side of bacon as well. The Bloody Mary was right on point and I tried the refreshing sangria. Most definitely have to make a return trip with the family. Samantha was awesome thank you for taking care of us. All in all it was a great place to gather, eat, drink and enjoy ourselves. Thanks for having us 🥳

Elote Corn Fritters were great. Blackened fish tacos were good. Jambalaya was pretty good. More of a stir fry. Desserts were amazing! Hot apple pie a la mode & Key lime pie. Would definitely try this place again.

John was an amazing server. We had the best experience here and looking forward to our next visit. Food was great as well. Has the shrimp and grits, fish tacos, lobster roll and fish and chips. All were amazing. We will definitely be back and will be asking for John!!
