    Met my family and extended members here. There were fourteen of us. We did call ahead and asked about having a big party. They said they could do a large party and what a great choice. They handled our party efficiently and everything was timely. The service great and friendly. The food came out efficiently and warm. They have a great variety on the menu and a great alcoholic and nonalcoholic variety of drinks. Everyone had a wonderful time visiting and no one felt rushed. They had no problem dividing up the checks when time to settle up. I recommend this restaurant for large parties but there is plenty of space and recommend for small tables as well. Located on the river and easy to access it was a wonderful find and will keep this on our list of great places to meet up.

    went for happy hour $4 margaritas which were light on the booze but tasted good NOMd: - cajun fries ($5) perfect crisp and soft ratio. a little too much of seasoning for our liking and the sauce was too pickley. would get again and ask for less seasoning i wanna come back to try more food

    sunday morning brunchin' first timer at Mallard's location in Bloomington. some pros: loads of parking available onsite , speedy service , and one of few MN seafood-driven menus . plus, I'd say everything was pretty budget-friendly. some so-so's: ambiance was just okay -- felt a bit more dinerish than I anticipated, which I guess worked out given our reservation for brunch. ‍ the benedict was good - perfectly runny, but wasn't as in love with the crab. food across the table was pretty average overall -- I'd come back for brunch, but maybe not as impressed for dinner. we'll see!! our s featured: crab cake benedict ‍ wild mushroom scramble nashville chicken & waffles

    I love Mallards. Love their new menu (old menu was fire too), love their service. Love the crab leg special on Thursdays. Love the Sangria. Love the basket of daily bread, brought to your table warm, multiple toppings, and probably with a prayer. Love the shrimp boil for two. Loved my surf and turf - perfectly prepared filet with NoLa shrimp. Love it all. Frequent patron. Ok, so why the 4 stars? I am so tired of restaurants charging 3-4% for using a credit card. I've also yet to see a digital cash payment option, anywhere. Are we supposed to carry couple of Hundos in cash everywhere. STOP THIS MADNESS. Mallards - for you specifically, your menu is a decent value already. Find the right price point and eliminate the CC surcharge. The CC fee is a pure cash/money grab. 4%? Enough! Do you know how aggravating it is for you to spin it as a "cash discount?" It definitely is in my head as I factor in the tip, and I'm a generous tipper. This practice has to take money from your servers overall. Food was great tonight as always and your servers hustle with a smiley. Get rid of this financial foolishness so I can go back to giving you the glow up you deserve.

    Berry jam old fashioned

    We had a terrible experience on our first visit here and my previous review reflected it. On this visit the service was spectacular, the food was great and the drinks were great as well. I ordered the chicken and waffles and asked for it be made as hot as possible and my wife ordered the peanut butter jalapeño smash burger. I got the berry jam old fashioned and she got the espresso martini. When the food came the extra hot sauce was on the side for my chicken. It was a good thing because if I used the whole cup I'd still be sweating. The burger was really good and the Cajun fries were tasty, but had obviously came out of the fryer a minute or two before the burger was done. Those drinks were great especially the old fashioned, I really appreciated the spirit forward cocktail with the fruit taking away the spirits burn.

    I ordered the Thai Peanut Chicken Chop and it was kind of a mess. The sauces with it tasted like salt blocks, the chicken was really dry and the chop is basically cabbage. I like cabbage but it really needed something. Cole slaw dressing took care of that, so a fail on the "Thai" bit. The veggie fries are amazing; tempura batter, lightly fried, yummy green beans and carrot firs with a delicious dipping sauce. I could eat these every day. My takeaway is don't order That food from a non-Thai restaurant, lol.

    There was parking on the street. We made reservations and were seated right away. The waiter was very friendly. I had a cup of lobster bisque and a lobster roll and fries. The service was fast - under 45 minutes to order and eat. We'd go back again.

The bartender is usually the server on this side of the house. He's always extremely welcoming, helpful, and makes a stiff drink. Fri-Sun they shop runs a "backdoor burger bar" after the normal po' boy shop house and you know I had to get the fried cauliflower. The dish is, more or less, the same as the one from Little Tijuana so I had to get it. This version seemed to have been made a bit more "edina" by removing a lot of the spicy ginger flavor from the original that I love so much. It was still really good, though. Perfectly tempura'd florets with kewpie and a sweet soy-based sauce like hoisin. I'd get it again (I always do) but recommend getting the full Little T's experience if you get the chance

I won't lie the poboy was good but what made it amazing is the lemon aioli that I added to it. The boudin balls were chicken and actually tasty. I give it 4 out 5 and I will definitely try again.

Delivery was reasonably fast, as the restaurant wasn't far so the food arrived within about 35 minutes. The temperature was moderate, so just heated it up but the dish itself was fantastic; moderate amounts of clam meat and thankfully half shell clams were included. They had the clam broth on the side in a separate container which I appreciated. This allowed for you to add as much broth as you wanted to your meal. I highly recommend and am looking forward to ordering this again when I'm back in town.

    We've eaten at Smack Shack in Minneapolis several times, and I'd give it five stars every time…read more This led me to expect a similarly positive experience at other Smack Shacks, and that's where things went off the rails a bit. Don't get me wrong: the lobster roll is just as terrific as the one downtown! But the service was a disappointment, and the quality of prep work leaves something to be desired. We watched two other tables, seated after we were, get waited on and receive their food before we could finally flag our waiter down to place our order. The crab cakes on the Niçoise salad were perfectly sized and delicious, but the potatoes and beans had not been adequately trimmed. Note well: if your order contains olives, some of them may have pits. I don't blame the kitchen for this -- it's always a risk with olives. There's a hefty amount of industrial plastic covering part of the kitchen. This was evident on the way to the restrooms. So perhaps they're experiencing growing pains, or equipment replacement, plus Operation Metro Surge has not been kind to the hospitality industry! I'm hopeful that things could improve. In the meanwhile, though, we're sticking with the original when we want that perfect lobster roll.

I came here during the football night just to see what this place was like. They had a light food menu since they were showing down the kitchen a bit early so it was mainly appetizers no biggie on my part. Their food menu was atrociously overpriced. Like $9 for a plate of fries and there's nothing special about them . Apparently they had a beer special too so i was excited about that. I had some non-alcoholic beer that was featured which is a great thing for them to have. I didn't realize that when I got my check that each drink was $9 each which is the most I've ever paid for a non-alcoholic beverage regardless if it was on a special or not this is like Los Angeles, California pricing! This is just a typical Bar and Grill establishment and I personally think there's no reason for them to be charging these astronomical prices. They do get Stars for having very nice service and a clean establishment with modest restrooms. There's plenty of parking with easy access to the streets. Overall, I was not impressed at all
