About this restaurant

  • Neighbourhood gem
  • Great for happy hour
  • Good for groups
Mallards is serving up award winning seafood & Cajun fare with southern hospitality. Born and raised in Kansas City Missouri, southern hospitality is on the top of our list. It’s more than tradition. It’s ice cold beer, key lime pie, and a party in our backyard. Our family wanted to turn passion into a reality in 2013, so we came together and opened Mallards. With Dad in charge of the menu all of our favorites started showing up! From Jambalaya to Tennessee Hot Chicken, our story finds itself on each and every plate!

    We ordered the boudin balls for an appetizer. They were delicious! I ordered the shrimp and grits and my friend ordered the fish and chips. Both entrees were really good! I don’t remember our servers name, but she was friendly, attentive and funny. Our experience was wonderful!

    Great menu great drinks and the service is beyond exceptional from everyone on the staff. We sat in the bar area to watch the Gophers beat Iowa. We spent 4 hours and never felt rushed to leave while enjoying our drinks, meals and visiting with cousins we see once a year. Highly recommend Mallards.

    The chef needs to go south to check out REAL Jambalaya. Mallards is a shrimp/chicken (no andouille in mine,) with cooked tomatoes. Forgot the seasoning, or it was overwhelmed by the tomatoes? The salad was so over dressed that I missed the subtlety of what should have been a lovely salad.

    The food was really good. We had lemon chicken, meatloaf, shrimp and steak Alfredo. We also enjoyed an old fashion and a couple beer. Finished off with chocolate cake and apple pie.
