Reviews of Mallards Restaurant
Dezi Johnson
Nice seating and the servers are great. Good draft beer selection and wine choices, especially welcome is the choice of ounces on the wine pour. Food is pretty good I think it's overpriced. Avoid the Maryland style crab cakes. The Korean meatballs are not a hit they're way too sweet. The Brussels sprouts are the win. Just come here and order a couple of beers and get about a bale of brussel sprouts. The Tennessee Hot Chicken sandwich was simply okay. The spice is nice. The chicken is a chicken breast so of course it's dry and sad. The sauce that is provided on the table will make everything okay.
Marissa Scherer
Loved our experience here! We arrived shortly before 6 pm on Friday and were able to take advantage of the happy hour ($2 off all drinks). The wine was delicious! I can't remember which one but it was the featured cab for $22). I had the clam chowder and was very impressed and the jambalaya which was also very favorable. Our server was attentive and friendly. We definitely will be back!
Don Smith
Still waiting on the food, but I thought I'd leave a note now on the extremely "pleasant" hostess that admonished us for not having a reservation. We explained that when we called they said no reservation was needed. She told us she "prefers if we do" whatever the hell that means. I'd prefer she do her job without a bunch of attitude but we can't always get what we want can we? There was ample seating available. Here's hoping the food's better than the greeting.
Food overall was good even if the portions seemed a bit meager. Caesar salad was well dressed and the dressing was tasty. Fish fry was fresh and crispy although aesthetically it lacked that GBD exterior. Fries were solid and the coleslaw (which is often the weakest link in fish fries) was good as well.
Amanda Drews
The lobster quiche was the best quiche I've ever had! Lobster bisque was pretty good as well. The lunch special is a good deal. Nice, upscale atmosphere, friendly waitress. I'm not a fan of their lobster rolls but I'll be back for drinks and pie!
Denise
Atmosphere was welcoming. The Mac & Cheese was too runny for me. The French Toast was nothing spectacular. It was still good food. I would definitely go back and try some more menu items. The “drinks” were tasty too.
Nicki Urlaub
Great service, nice atmosphere and good food. The lobster roll was good, although the bread was kind of ordinary. The cocktails were pretty decent as well. I’d consider the restaurant in between casual and nicer dining, but not quite to the fine dining level. I’d come back to try more things.
Pat Lealos
Wow, this is my new favorite restaurant in south metro. I was furniture shopping in Bloomington and stopped by for a drink and a few apps. Ordered lettuce wraps, crab cakes, Brussels sprouts, and Seafood Campechana. Everything was great. I’m excited to return for dinner some time. Parking was easy.
Brian Osweiler
This place was a great value. All the orders were generous portions, but still good quality and price. The staff was great and very efficient. The bar area was nice, with reasonable seating.
Jill Schmaedeke
The hot Nashville chicken tenders were perfect! Crispy and spicy and not at all greasy. Staff was great, not too busy at lunch so it was easy to get a table.
Mia West-Tourner
This was a great place to have dinner. The food was delicious and so flavorful. The server was the absolute best. This was my first time eating here and if I am ever in the area again I will be eating here.
Austin Sanders
Went here for Mother’s Day Brunch, took a little while to get a waitress but that wasn’t a big deal as we just started browsing the cold bar. Service was prompt and accommodating, the food was alright, nothing special but not bad either. Overall we had a good experience and my wife enjoyed her breakfast with the family which is most important!
Megan Reeves
Honestly the best meal I’ve had in a long time and we travel all over and eat out all of the time! Bartenders were great (Robb… with two B’s), overall vibe of the place was great. People working here are all in a good mood and food was delicious! What else could you ask for! I got the Salmon and it was seriously the best. Order it! My boyfriend ordered the Jumbalaya and loved it.
mira Jang
My husband took me for early ❤ Day. Food was excellent and serves was on point. Definitely gotta come back for the other menu.
Jon Ross
Fun hangout spot in Bloomington, they have pull tabs here along with an ATM. Easy location to get to and delicious food. Bit spendy but I guess everything is right now. Cheers to the next drink here!
Erin Mills
Great location right next to Home 2 Suites. Was late Friday evening when we got here. Wasn't too busy very laid back atmosphere. Had AMAZING service by Billy. Our first time here Billy suggested we get the bread for starters ( I don't remember the name) anyways just get it. It was so YUMMY! Husband ended up getting the Tennessee Chicken sandwich which was spicy he loved it. They also have different seafood options. Very good beer on tap as well. We really liked the Mango beer. We had great service and a great time. Thank you Billy you were GREAT!! When we come back to the area we will make a stop here again.
Heather Hammond
You think I lost my mind taking my parents here from the Pacific Northwest for some seafood...in Minnesota. Yet we were all pleasantly surprised and ecstatic. Amazing brunch with incredible pinch yourself prices, kind staff, and legit good seafood in Minnesota. Went back for dinner tonight and from the catch of the day to the fish and chips, everything was amazing and delicious.
Jerred Witte
Tried the new Grammy's meatloaf for an early dinner today. The mashed potatoes are made with skin on red potatoes, they are seasoned and mashed to perfection! The green beans have a crunch and great flavor (mushroom in the sauce for those allergic to them. The meatloaf leaves something to be desired. Without the sauce, seasoning is somewhat under-enhanced. With the sauce, I can't get past the breadish undertone of the meatloaf. The sauce on it is ketchup based and just a bit too sweet for my tastes. Excellent service and a nice scene/atmosphere to enjoy a meal or happy hour.
Jody Clutter
Everyone that works at Mallards is amazing! From the hosts to our server, Charlie, to those that bussed tables. The entire staff was friendly, professional, kind, and genuine. Charlie gave us exceptional service and we chose to dine outside. The food was delicious and Charlie made great suggestions. We even took dessert home and I couldn't believe the flavor. I highly suggest the pumpkin cake! We will definitely be back sooner than later. If you're looking for a new place try, stop by Mallards, you will not be disappointed!
Nicholas Olson
Excellent food. The server was helpful, the decor was really nice. Very friendly staff.
Dave Burton
Stopped in a little after 5 for an early dinner - the bar was packed but the restaurant was wide open. Drinks came out fast and the wait staff were attentive. Both my wife and I ordered the fish and chips which again came out quickly. The crust was crispy and the fish wasn't over cooked. Definitely will be going back.
Janet Kensicki
Ate at lunch. Friendly staff, attentive service, attractive setting, nicely varied menu. We had the tropical seaside salad, which was attractively plated and a delicious blend of flavors. The pumpkin cake dessert was also delicious. A friendly, relaxing place for lunch.
Jennifer Brook
Consistently good food and service. A staple in our restaurant rotation.
We had a group of six who have all been to Mallard's before. I had the Harvest Salad, which was excellent, and the Mac and Cheese, which was sub-par. It was very runny and pretty flavorless, so I won't be getting it again. We also shared the key lime pie, which was not good either. Crab cake and walleye appetizers were wonderful and everyone else enjoyed their meals, so the two disappointments aren't concerning.
Not Exactly
Must get Elote Corn Fritters! Layers of flavor . Perfectly cooked. Crispy outside then fluffy inside. The salmon topped with crab was absolutely delicious! My server was kind and attentive. It was so dang good that I am nervous to try it again. Can anything top this visit or even match it? Lol. Thanks for the quality.
Eric Massie
I would have given 5 stars as the food was pretty good and I'd go back, however, the garnishes on the drinks all looked like they had seen way better days. From the limes they looked like lemons to the mint leaves and strawberries... Honestly, if it looks that bad, you are better off not putting it on at all. Sets a bad tone for what to expect from the food.
Timothy Denehy
Superb meal!
The service and meal were wonderful, corn chowder and fish n chips, delightful.
The chips(fries) and fish were excellent quality.
My server Ava was awesome!
Will be back 😁
Sylvia Morgan
Came here for a friend’s birthday brunch. We sat at a high-top in the bar so we (really I) could watch football. It was all-day HH and bottomless mimosas! Nicholas, our server/bartender, was phenomenal! Will definitely be back!
Dee K.
Former Red Robin is now a renovated Mallard's. Cuisine has something for everyone! I recommend the lunch combo with the turkey club and lobster bisque. I look forward to going back for dinner sometime.
Guaranlam
Awesome lobster roll.. pull tabs available
Daniel Lenort
Breakfast is a new offering. In the hour plus that we were in the restaurant we only saw two other patrons. Service was exceptional, food offerings are unique with a Mallard's twist. We will go back.
Nicole C
First visit on a weekday at 2pm for lunch with my daughter. Service was very, very slow and it wasn’t busy. Got incorrect sandwich, but it was a fast fix. Didn’t get checked back on until we were well done waiting for check. Food was decent, but very overpriced for portion size.
Patricia McNutt
Awesome breakfast, great customer service. I will return again. I was looking for a great breakfast besides Perkins or fast food. They did not disappoint
Karen Virta
Hostess was distracted and unfriendly. Our wait person messed up our order. Food was pretty good but not spectacular. Overall not great but not awful. We'll try again on a different night.
Invader Erc
I really like this place. Great food for a decent price. Service here is always stellar. Our waitress was phenominal the last time we went.
Craig Andrews
Turkey and bacon sandwich was great
Side salad with spinach was uneventful
Italian dressing was exceptional
Young man with dark hair was really good,
attentive and kind
alysha bellamy
We had the Nashville “Hot”chicken sandwich, ( was hot loved the heat level),Lobster roll,( was worth the price, the lobster was cooked well),and a cheese plate. Over all bright and clean space. Don’t really understand the spinach, balsamic, candy nut pile on the cheeseboard. The cheese choice was good.
NoPlace LikeVintage
Good food! A tad spicy for me but not for my husband. Definitely will be back.
toni hell
Not the best experience. We arrived and stood at the front waiting to be seated. No employee greeted us for at least 5 minutes. We were seated and was greeted by waitress Samantha and were given water. I asked for a drink vodka cranberry with a lime. It took 15 minutes to get drink, that looked watered down with no lime and a cherry in it. The person who brought the drink we asked if we could order because our waitress hasn’t been back to table and we were unable to gain her attention while she was cleaning tables. We were unable to gain attention of staff to get the lime that was missing so my mother went up to the bar, no employee was there so she grabbed some limes with a tooth pick. The drink didn’t taste correct, and when the food arrived I informed waitress that it was wrong and so she brought me a new one. Food was good and that’s the only reason I gave 3 stars. I wanted another drink , and informed waitress when she dropped off bill. She never asked if we wanted anything else before bringing bill. This experience was at 7 pm on Wednesday 5/18/22. It was not extremely busy at this time.
Foley Files
Went there with a group of 5 for the firs time the other night. Everything was good. Nothing totally blew our socks off, but nothing was bad. Service was fine. No complaints, a solid experience, we were just hoping for more somehow. We will try it again since the menu does have a lot of fun looking items on it.
Lisa Duncan
Since things are better than others. I ate there once and I enjoyed it the second time the food wasn't as good. The customer service is great and the ambiance is adorable... I will definitely try it again- third time is a charm.
H.S. Bramanti (Shawn)
Fairly nice place. They appeared to be overwhelmed staff wise although it was not super busy. Our waiter acted new and gawky spilling water on our table twice. For the money i expected better.
Robert Galle
Great service and tasty food cooked perfectly. Our go to place for casual dining. Did I mention the daily bread?? 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟 🌟
Bridget M
AMAZING FOOD, AMAZING SERVICE!!! Honestly did not expect to find a place that makes shrimp and grits in MN let alone it being sooo delicious and very decently priced! The service was also wonderful and engaging. Definitely recommend!
Jennifer Halama
The food was fantastic! Service was pretty attentive. I would definitely return again.
Nick Lanners
Korean fried chicken tacos and bloody Mary were tasty. GF and I randomly stopped here looking for some brunch on a Saturday mornin, turns out the best day for brunch is Sunday.
Jeff boyce
Fantastic service, great food!
Paul Luoma
Stopped for a beer while the challenger got a tune at the dodge dealership. Good for what I needed at the time. A little to fancy and expensive for no reason in my humble opinion
Jim Norman
Stopped in for a quick bite and was greeted by a friendly bar keep. Ordered the fish and chips. Fantastic! The first thing that I sensed when I came in was that this is a friendly, "Real" environment. The manager, Heather, was talking to a vendor in a straight up and friendly manner. After overhearing pieces of the conversation, I finished my meal and approached her, commending her on her tact and professionalism. Folks, these people are great! The prices won't break the bank and you will leave satisfied. I will be back!
Mark Zimmerman
Had the jambalaya and it was amazing. My wife had some deconstructed chicken pot pie thing and it was fantastic!
Aric Bertram
My wife had the lobster roll and it was better than Smack Shacks. The cheeseburger was juicy and the fixings seemed fresh. The beer list was tilted local and not super extensive, but there was something for everyone. Decent wine and cocktails menu too. Might be that I am not out much lately and don't understand the inflation, but the total was more than I anticipated. Seemed like the staff was not communicating well, as we waited quite a bit after being seated before the server knew we needed help. Good first visit, we'll go back.
Shirley Neuk
We loved this place! I had the Mediterranean Shrimp Pasta which was amazing. So flavorful. My husband had Surf & Turf, our friend had Jambalaya and both were very happy with their food. Our server was great…attentive and fun. We will be back!!
Steven Rindsig
We arrived 15 minutes before closing time and nonetheless were cheerfully greeted and seated. The menu offered plenty of choices, all with surprisingly modest prices. Our food was promptly served by competent and friendly wait staff and was hot and delicious. We were treated to cookies, still warm from the oven, that arrived with our bill. We certainly will visit again the next time we are in the area!
Pat Lehnherr
All four of us love our food. The brussels sprouts were excellent and the Tennessee Hot Chicken Sandwich was phenomenal. I docked a star because the chicken wasn't very hot (Our server said it would be 7 out of 10 on the heat scale...I'd give it a 4, max) and the guy who brought out our apps was kind of creepy. He made a weird joke about his body odor which is not what we want to hear before we eat.
Kristine Lynn
We came in on 4/13 and had very good service. Friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Great selection of drinks and an a nice sized tap beer menu luckily we were in time for happy hour. The food menu has a very nice variety of food selections. Can’t wait to go back to try different items.
Amy Bosch
We have eaten here twice and were very impressed both times. It is our go to now when we fly out of town. The food and atmosphere do not disappoint. The menu has something for everyone and is very creative. We also had the best service provided by Jenn. We will def be back! Thanks much!
Steve Doree
Late dinner, the food was good, server was pre-occupied or less than attentive ~ empty drinks and water....
Daniel
Absolutely wonderful. I got the Blackened Fish Tacos which were amazing. My Uncle, who was visiting from Texas, was amazed at how authentic and delicious these tacos were. My mother absolutely loved her chicken sandwich. The waitress was very very kind, helpful, and made sure we enjoyed our meal! This restaurant was amazing and I’ll be visiting again.
Greg Ruff
Great Food and Great Service! My wife and I went out for dinner here just randomly and had the best experience! Amanda was our server and she was great. It seems like it's hard to find good service anymore and Amanda was absolutely perfect! We will be going back! Highly recommend.
Julie Fiedler
The fish sandwich was huge. Also had half of a sandwich and a cup of tomato soup. It was a good meal. We will be back.
Ronnie V
Very impressed. Went for mid afternoon lunch on Saturday. Probably the best fish and chips I've ever had. Very spacious, I'm guessing they must do a good bar or late night business to fill that space.
Joe Nabil
Very nice restaurants
Variety of food
Great quality
Nice patio
J Rosenb
Great happy friendly service. They have a big menu and it’s all good..
Erick Severson
Great food, decent price, staff was quick knowing I was heading to the vikings game
Mark Ogawa
My family enjoyed a dinner at Mallard's in Bloomington, MN. Everyone enjoyed their meals. It was my first visit to the establishment and they served fish and chips so I had to try their rendition. I rate it a 4/5 as they were very similar to those I tried at both Park Tavern and Granite City Food and Beverage. The fish was plentiful and cooked perfectly. The fries (chips) were above average and the Cole slaw was average. The the tartar sauce was so-so but fine as a dip for the fries. The one deficiency was the wimpy fried batter on the fish. Although it had decent crispinness, it was not coated evenly on the fish and gave little support when trying to eat the very flaky fish. A big plus is that they had malt vinegar which is a must have.
Our server was great: knowledgeable about the offerings and with just a bit of cheeky banter.
I will likely return when in the area and try some of the other dishes.
Deluz Nova
Lobster rolls are so delicious. The servers have always been kind.
Ashley Way
Stopped at the Inner Grove Heights location on a road trip and had the Lobster Roll and the Nashville hot chicken sand which.... I have eaten Mallards take-out 3 days in a row ever since... So thankful that they opened this location in Bloomington. The food is so amazing and such great prices for the quality. Another favorite of mine is the cheese plate. The staff is wonderful! I placed an order to go during a busy time, and they had the food ready extremely quick. So happy I found my go-to place for lobster rolls!
Jake Artz
Update: After having an issue at this restaurant a couple weeks ago for over charging my credit card… I wanted to update my old review. The manager (Heather) contacted me right away and wanted to fix the problem asap. She was very professional. She not only returned the money that I was over charged…but also invited me back to try them again with a gift card (that I was not expecting at all!). The part that impressed me the most was the sincere apology letter that was included. I can tell Heather is truly a great manager and will probably give this place a second chance because of her. Kudos to Heather!
Beware of this place.
I visited the Bloomington restaurant on 2/15 at about 6:45pm. We had dinner and then paid the bill. The bill was $40.30 and I left a cash tip. I have a charge on my credit card for $50.30. There were two pending transactions…one for $40.30 and another for $10. There was something fishy with how my credit card was handled, either by the server or the credit card machine.
Randy Nibbe
What a great dining experience. Taylor was an amazing server, so attentive and provided great suggestions. She made us feel welcome and appreciated.
The food was delicious, we both loved what we ordered and saw so many options we would love to try.
Highly recommend this gem.
Gina Giombetti (Mama G)
Mallards Restaurant is a fabulous place to go for dinner or lunch and drinks. Pull tabs too! A bar if you choose and the best food ever. I had a great experience for the first time. Customer service is excellent and it's fantastic all the way around. It's in Bloomington so close to home and I will be back again and again!:)
Ruth Radermacher-Yurick
Fantastic service, quick, friendly. Thank you Billy and team. Tasty food and nice dining experience overall!
Maura G
Had the amazing fish tacos and lettuce wraps. My to-go order was packed with care and attention. Great service! Amazing food! Lots of gluten free selections! Really enjoyed my dinner, my server (Sam I think?) was really great!
Kris Sorrell
First time here and the food was amazing. The restaurant is very clean, servers are friendly, and the food was hot, hot, hot! (In a good way lol) Even my kid enjoyed her chicken tenders and fries, which doesn't always happen.
They were not very busy, new restaurant and all (July 2021), so the food came out hot and fresh. The blackened salmon was so juicy and cooked perfectly. We had the Thai chicken lettuce wraps as an appetizer and they were delicious, a little spicier than I normally like things but so worth the burn.
I can't wait to go back!
William Foss
Beer prices were ridiculous. $10.50 for a pint. Food & service were great.
Jean Anderson
We were excited to see the opening of this restaurant in Bloomington. Our group of 4 had jambalaya and fried shrimp and fries. The shrimp were cooked perfectly with a very thin light batter. The jambalaya had lots of shrimp and sausage. BUT, the restaurant is SO LOUD the servers couldn’t even hear our orders or questions. We left quickly as it got to be almost impossible to converse. The food was good, but only if you are alone with no desire to talk to others at your table.
Sonia Merten
We loved their Nashville hot chicken sandwich! I've had the real thing in TN, and this is the best one I've had in MN. Would also highly recommend the Korean tacos. Portions were good too. I'd caution against the lobster mac and cheese though. Ours was very liquidy and more like a soup, which diluted the cheese flavor. Would definitely come back for the first two items and try others. Service was great!
noskatehate
Came here for mothers say brunch. The food was quite good and our server was phenomenal. She was always on top of everything and very friendly. Will definitely come back to another time.
Bruce Gustafson
The shrimp & grits were awesome. The shrimp pasta was too spicy for 2 of our party
Tyson Archer
Fantastic! I got the Nashville hot chicken littles and my wife got the catch of the day (parmesan crusted walleye) and we were both very happy with our choices. The chicken was very juicy and the Comeback sauce it came with paired perfectly with the hot chicken. My wife's walleye was light and honestly one of the better fish entrees I've tried. Glad this place is in town!
David Anderson
Very nice conversion from red Robin, kept most of the design and layout that worked but upscaled it a bit with a new color scheme.
Walleye bites were tasty crisp and delicious. The accompanying tarter sauce was bright and flavorful.
Lobster quiche was decident, with just enough lobster to not be overpowering. The salad it came with was well done but nothing I'd write home about. The fried goat cheese ball was a welcome addition to the plate adding a bold flavorful note to go with the lobster.
My partners tomato basil soup was amazing, surprisingly thick but it worked well. Her accompanying sandwich was well prepared and Im told it was good too but didn't try it.
Cokes felt a bit watery and under charged, not the best soda mix but I'd just order something else next time rather than dock them a star for it.
Very attentive staff, never wanted for anything but they also were not very busy.
Piet Browne
Always a great meal . The staff is always friendly and accommodating. I've never had a bad meal. The ingredients are always fresh. I can't wait to stop again.
Benjamin Simpson
Some of the best well priced sea food you can get in Bloomington. Great view of the business area.
Patrick Vossen
Overall a wonderful dinning experience. Very excellent food and the staff friendly as well as fun. I fully endorse this restaurant for your next meal. Just don't sit at my table in case I show up. LOL!
IPhone
Burger was so good, aioli was on point. Great service as well.
Tj Prall
The food was alright but needs to be better. My husband ordered the walleye sandwich which he said, "overall was dry." Came with a sauce on the side but unsure if it was for the smashed up potato chips on the plate. I ordered the lobster quiche which was ok as I saw tiny pieces of lobster and tasted a little of lobster. I discovered shells in the quiche which is unpleasant. The salad was nice but the dressing needed salt and more excitement.
The three stars is because the service was slow and the waiter walked around and not paying attention. He gave us the wrong check and waited longer than we should have.
Robert Tarango
Easter Sunday brunch was amazing. Staff was great, the ambiance , decor, and the food was great, All around great experience. My wife and I will definitely be back. If your reading this, I highly recommend
kurt eismann
My kids took me here for Father's Day. Nice atmosphere and really good food. Wait staff was very friendly and reasonably priced. Thanks kids!
Frank
This is the 4th Mallard's to be opened around the Twin Cities Metro. I've always heard good things, so when the Bloomington location opened I figured, why not? Let's give it a shot.
The staff is amazing, friendly and helpful. Huge space, nice patio area and good food.
I am writing this review after my third visit, and I will say this. The food and drinks are city prices and oftentimes come with large portions for the price.
It has a pleasant decor but gets loud on a Friday night. It has the feel of a chain restaurant but higher quality food (which comes with the price).
If you're looking to try some place different and money isn't a big deal I would check this out. There are items that are not as expensive. And out of all the items I've tried, I would say 85% have been worth ordering.
Brett Gillespie
Been here twice and got the lobster roll both times. Absolutely delicious. Atmosphere is really nice yet they also are able to easily accommodate little kids.
Kelly Anthony
Our server was perfect, even offering to leave items on the side that might be too spicy for me!!! Food was so great- from fish and chips to Korean bbq tacos. Great atmosphere.
Nicole Neist
I brought my friends to Mallard’s Bloomington after another friend of mine introduced me to their lobster rolls. We were served by Roberto D. He was very attentive, made sure he revisited our table before our drinks were empty. The food was delicious and Roberto made the visit very enjoyable’
Greg Sweet
The food was really good! Great place for lunch.
Punkin G.
OMG!! Amazing food, amazing service and very generous pours. My wife and I are always trying new things and this was by far nothing we thought it would be. Big ups to Tom (bartender). He even let us get a sneak preview of the new fall drink.
Mike Harris
The quality of the food was OK. They are doing I think a pretty good job for midwestern seafood, but were absolutely great when it came to customer service. I will be trying this location again, as it definitely hit the spot for a lobster roll that didnt break the bank
Cecelia Sheffield
Always delicious! I have never been disappointed. Love this place! And Jen is perfection! We had a group of 5 women celebrating a birthday and she made it so fun. Bloomington location!
Chris Jensen
We were very happy with our meal. I got the pecan crusted walleye and my wife got the lobster roll. Our server was great too. We will be going back.
A Mean Clean
My favorite place for dinner. Love the Daily bread and the fish options.
Chris Meyer
Food is tremendous. Had the family favorite “Stringer Cabernet” which is a gorgeous Napa wine. Servers are very attentive and knowledgeable. Beautiful space and decor inside restaurant. Mallards never disappoints.
Sarah Kendrick
After driving by out enough, we finally decided to check it out. We were both very impressed by the food and the great service tonight! A fun mix of food, and a nice restaurant to check out. We'll be back!
Jerred Nelson
Been twice once for a few drinks and some apps that was maybe two stars. Then went for brunch and it was 5 stars, that's why I landed on 4 stars for the review. I feel pike long story short its kinda hit or miss
Brenda Gilsrud
Great flavor! We had a walleye sandwich, and 2 people had the fish tacos (also walleye). Our server was excellent. We will go back for sure!
Matthew Koch
Great food and service, a little spendy. A good location to get a quality bite of americana or seafood. The gumbo was spicy and delicious. The burgers were good. The spiced mashed potatoes side was pretty yummy.
Andrew McGrath
Cozy New England feel. Good food and friendly staff, great for a quick bite or watching a game. Highly recommend the Nashville Hot Chicken or the Lobster Roll.
Jerry Wheat
Good brunch, I had the Shrimp & Grits which was the best I have had. The mac and cheese was good but not as good as my main dish. My wife had crab cakes and I can recommend them.
D Hampton
Clean establishment flavorful food. Not a long wait. Had the fish tacos and the Tennessee hot chicken sandwich it was all delicious.
Christi Pete
Staff were tremendous! Fantastic service, clean restaurant. Had an issue with my food and we were comped 1/2 off that item and also given free dessert. Food was average, which is the only reason I gave 4 stars rather than 5. We will be back again.

The bar guy Tom was very pleasant and a really nice guy. Made a great recommendation on the Jambalaya. It was great. If you are a Jambalaya purist it is slightly different but measures up well.
Guy Chetrit
Had their Thai appetizer and drinks. It was all done well. Service was good. Prices were reasonable.

Chili was excellent. Cod sandwich was bit mushy on the bottom side of the fish. Could have been done a little more, but good anyway.

It was a slower time of the day when we arrived. It was after the lunch rush had already been done. So we had the place to ourselves with about 6 other tables. We ordered a couple of lunch combos that were 1/2 sandwich & soup/salad.
The sandwiches were absolutely delicious. They were Chicken Salad and Turkey Club. We will be making this one of our regular stops.
Chelsea Olafson
I thought I had already written a gushing review about this place in the begining when I first went.
4th or 5th time there and this was for sure the best experience yet (the rest were all excellent btw). Carly is definitely one of my fave servers for life. I like a lot of diff foods but am also picky. She picked my tea, my martini (I'm sick but also needed to celebrate lol) 2 apps and my entree and literally I couldn't have been happier with any of them! So go there and get her if you can 🤩
Dr. Dean Grabinger
My colleague Stephanie and I had lunch there on Friday, February 3rd and our server's name was Britt. Britt was an exceptional server and took very good care of us. We were also helped out by another server named Jenn who was equally as exceptional. The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious! We will definitely be back!
lauri wald
Incredible staff helped us with choices for our first visit here The flavor of the slaw that's served with their appetizer meat balls was outstanding! I'll be getting the meatballs again for sure! Lobster roll is better than Smack Shack. They serve the tender crab cold...just state you want warm crab if that is your preference. Loved the flavors of the bruschetta pesto pasta! What a unique idea! Drinks are uptown prices if not on happy hour, but made deliciously. Warm apple pie had an insane buttery crust. We will definitely be going back to try different menu items!

Beautiful experience and convenient location
Emily Jackson
We've always received great service and excellent food at a decent price.
Bram Visser
(Translation) The starter came along with the main course and the dessert came very quickly too. Could have been a little slower pace but didn't detract from the quality of the food.
(Original)
Het voorgerecht kwam samen met het hoofdgerecht en het toetje was er ook erg snel. Zou een beetje rustiger tempo mogen hebben, maar deed niets af aan de kwaliteit van het eten.
