Stopped into Mallards in Forest Lake for dinner and came away impressed. The nautical theme gives…read morethe restaurant a fun, laid-back feel, and the service was friendly and attentive throughout the meal. I ordered the Red Beans & Rice and the Jambalaya. The red beans and rice had a rich, smoky flavor that tasted like it had been simmering for hours. The jambalaya was loaded with shrimp, chicken, and andouille sausage in a flavorful Cajun butter and wine sauce with plenty of peppers, onions, and tomatoes. The only thing that caught me off guard was the menu describing the jambalaya as being served over risotto. Mine was served over regular rice in a thinner sauce, so it wasn't quite what I expected. It was still a good dish--just different from the description. Between the food, atmosphere, service, and prices, I'd happily stop back. If you're in the area and looking for solid Cajun-inspired comfort food, Mallards is worth a visit.

Friend had a breakfast sandwich and I as well, loved the arugula on it and the overall flavor, wish it had a little kick to it in spice but feel like I could have just asked. Cinnamon roll was also very fun. One suggestion for consideration do the management staff is if it's going to be a place with books, maybe some nice lamps for more ambient lighting rather than the harsh fluorescents? Either way I am happy to have a new coffee shop to look forward to visiting when I am in the area!

Well here's how it went: We ordered the food came and the waitress didn't stop by once to see how our meal was. My eggs were runny and I had to get her attention in order to ask her to please get me eggs over medium. I received the eggs and she didn't come to the table to follow up. I needed water and I had to call to another waitress and asked her if she could get me water. The young lady was polite however not following up with the customer is not a good thing. The ambiance is never the problem it is the service.

Time. That doesn't even cover how wonderful the staff there is! Just really great people who are keeping it real. No parties larger than 6, this is a hard rule and needs to be respected. I have seen people argue with the owner. It's a small place and he values his staff so much that he will not opt for income over his staff's mental health or stress level. I admire that so much. All the more reason to take your close friend and enjoy a real down to earth local business!!!

The menu is large with a variety of selections. It was difficult to decide what I wanted, finally decided to try the MN Favorites sampler; which consisted of Tator tot hotdish, chicken pot pie, & pouting. The puff pastry on top of the pot pie was "hard", not what you expect from puff pastry. The poutine was so rich I wouldn't order it as a meal, but definitely something that could/should be shared. Everything had great flavor and was delicious. One friend ordered the Hot chicken sandwich w/bacon and the other ordered the Hearty curry bowl. They both thoroughly enjoyed their meals as well. They also have a large dessert case with a great selection of cupcakes and macaroons. I ordered a variety of the macaroons and a cupcake, to go. They were all yummy! I definitely plan to come back and try more of their delicious food & desserts.
