Ambiance is an old school dinner with a flare of modern. The staff are so friendly.

Even if it's your first time you'll feel at home with smiles and laughter.

Excellent food, service, ambiance, and prices - 5 stars!…read more We didn't know what to expect. The 3 of us had pretty low expectations. But our visit was great. In the end, the three of us agreed that we definitely had a 5 star experience. We arrived at opening and we happened to be served by the owner himself - a really nice guy. He gave us a brief history of the bar, which is extensive. The Old Saloon has been around with the current name since 1975 (the building is a lot older). The current owner has been at the helm for 30 years! Obviously, he's knows what he's doing. Our food was excellent...everything from the Ellsworth Cheese Curds, the wings, the salad, the burger, the Chicago style hotdog, and the savory mac & cheese soup! Of course, since this is Wisconsin, they have a great selection of beer on tap. The prices were amazingly reasonable to. We probably would have paid double in the Twin Cities. The décor is cool too. Apparently, the owner's wife is the chief decorator and she does a great job. I particularly love the vintage and antique stuff. They have some very old and rare original neon signs, an old Schwinn Phantom, and an antique penny scale. There are a few reproductions here & there but most of it is totally original. Cool! Thanks for a great experience! Thumbs up! - Maxx

The beer selection is very thought out and the staff is friendly and inviting. The atmosphere is warm and cozy. Notice the old Brunswick Bar that sets the stage for very cozy feel. Highly recommend this place. I travel a lot and the Old Saloon is always a pleasure to visit with family, friends or just a beer to relax. Most authentic and unique restaurant/Bar in New Richmond. Just stopped by the Old Saloon. Truly the Green Dragon of this Shire. Really what a wonderful place and great food, beer and the staff and owners are gems. Highly recommend The Old Saloon Once again, stopped by the Old Saloon and it was delish. Very warm community pub.

They have an award-winning burger, menu, delicious Wisconsin drinks - like the Brandi old-fashioned and bloody Mary. I enjoyed a burger, onion rings, and an old-fashioned. I love to sit at the bar because they have really awesome friendly staff. The other great thing about this place is they have a huge selection of their own cheeses. They make nearly all of them in house and have won a lot of awards because they're absolutely delicious. My favorite is the feta cheese and I will go out of my way if I need some.def recommend!!

My husband was sick a couple of hours later. Timing was terrible as it was the week leading into Christmas and we were visiting the area from out of town. Two people sick, throwing up with one hotel bathroom was brutal. It's been a week now and my husband has only kept down 4 meals. I did call the restaurant and left a message, but no one called me back.

Wow - great food and excellent service - 4.5 stars!…read more I stopped in for lunch with a friend. We ordered a lot of food including drinks, appetizers, lunch, and dessert. Every mouthful of food was good! I don't hand out many 5 star reviews so I'm calling Mallards a 4.5 - right now. But if everything is just as good when I stop back for dinner, I'll probably upgrade them to 5 stars. Much of the food is made in-house from scratch. And it shows. They flavors were all wonderful. I particularly liked the potato soup, the hand battered shrimp, and the salmon plate which had some wonderful savory items like capers and an awesome cream cheese spread. The apple pie with vanilla ice cream & caramel drizzle was excellent too. The restaurant is really big too. They even have a balcony area for special events and overflow seating. There's a big arcade area in back. It even has a little put-put golf area. Cool! Thumbs up! -Daddy Maxx Retro

Still, it wasn't too far to walk. The menu was HUGE. It was hard to pick. The vibe was nice and the waitress was attentive and patient. Hubby and I were waiting for friends and being hungry, ordered onion wings. They were good, nice and crispy and not greasy but I didn't like the whiskey flavor (I hadn't noticed it when ordering). Friends showed up and they ordered cheese curds. A huge pile of very lightly battered(?) curds and they were delicious. I had a whiskey bbq burger (I know, don't ask) and it was excellent. It came with what seemed like homemade chips that were also excellent. The burger had a WB brand on the bun = nice touch! Others had chicken tacos, gourmet grilled cheese and I can't remember what hubby had. But I do remember we all were very satisfied with our choices. We will definitely be back if we are ever in the area again.
