Mallard's Roadhouse - Clinton, Missouri

The servers were extremely friendly. The all around service was very quick. The food portions were huge and priced well. My food was very flavorful. I randomly pulled in here while traveling through and was not disappointed!

Best chicken fried chicken I’ve ever had! The breading was crispy, even under the white gravy. The green beans were amazing with bacon and onions in them and coleslaw was the best we’ve ever had as well as the french fries. The breading was so crispy. Everything was just amazing. We will definitely be back next time we pass through Clinton, Missouri. Decorated in bass pro style, Johnny Morris would be proud of this place❤️ Our only complaint is that they did not tell us there would be a credit card fee when we paid.

Late lunch meal (Monday). Place was rather full with customers, minimal delay until we were seated and our orders taken. Clean inviting environment.

Entrees: Catfish, fish sandwich, chicken strips, and boom boom tacos.

Catfish - good stuff, minimal seasoning allowing each consumer to season to taste.

Fish sandwich, Cajun style - minimal Cajun taste to the fish let alone the fish when eaten as a sandwich. Toppings and bread were terrific (fresh toppings, nice crisp on the bread).

Chicken strips - dry with way too much breading. Much of it was dry and stringy.

Boom boom tacos - the shrimp are NOT deveined, free shrimp poop for all. Not deveining larger shrimp is a huge red flag, I’ve never heard a customer request shrimp poop and I’m unsure why any restaurant would give us free shrimp feces, completely not ok (pic of shrimp poop included in pics).

Fries - about one out of seven fries were partially frozen. Fresh made fries would either be all cold or all hot, strongly suggesting the fries were frozen and reheated/microwaved then taken out to our table.

Coleslaw and baked beans both tasted good and were enjoyed during our meal.

All food came out room temperature at best, much was cooler.

We camp @ Sparrowfoot frequently and have driven past Mallard's every trip and never stopped until today. Wanted a tenderloin sandwich so googled "near me." Mallard's came up, so we took the chance and THANK God we did!!! The staff was amazing.. went in and asked if they did to go orders she said yes, handed me a menu... I looked it over and, within moments, placed an order to go, got an iced tea, and waited at the bar for my order. They were busy, as it was lunchtime, but SUPER friendly staff kept my drink full and chatted with me while I waited even though I was only getting to go.
Spoke with a gentleman eating at the bar (learned he built the place), and it came up how I googled to find a tenderlion. He said could have just asked Google the best place to eat in Clinton and Mallard's will be top of the list- did it while eating our food at Katy Trail park and he was correct #1 was Mallards and I can see why... the food was delicious and the sandwiches were so big we ate half and brought the rest back to camp to warm up for dinner.
As I walked out with my food, he said, "You'll enjoy it, and you'll be back." And he was right on both counts.👍👍

Restaurant was as expected based on other reviews. Clean, nice decor. I asked the waitress what the special was and she told me a Prime Rib sandwich with one side. I asked the cost and she said she thought it was about $12.50. It turned out to be $14 so that is why I gave service 4 stars. She should have know the price of the special. Otherwise the waitress was nice and service was good. Husband got a burger with a baked potatoes as he couldn’t eat the fries due to them being breaded. The baked potato was old and been reheated and not very warm. He said the burger was ok. My prime rib sandwich was ok. A little over seasoned with onion powder. I got a side salad which was good. There was a $2.00 up charge for the baked potato and for the salad. Overall we were under impressed and probably won’t be back.

Mallard's is a great stop! Pork tenderloin dinner and Catfish Strips. The service at the bar and the food were spot on! Thank you Mallard's for what you do! Keep it real..... And Katie was amazing!

My husband & I went to this little restaurant for our 31st wedding anniversary. Very clean, nice little restaurant. The food was very good. Home cooking taste. Service was lacking though. Our waitress was attentive at first until some guests that she apparently knew came in and then it went downhill from there. We asked for a small go box when she brought our ticket. She left and after a bit then proceeded to the table with guests she knew… she was sitting there chit chatting with them while we were sitting there still waiting for our go box and for her to collect the check. She finally noticed my husband flagging her down and that we were still waiting and came to ask if we needed a go box and the check again… no just a small go box was our answer. She brought back a large go box and another ticket… she took the first ticket and money… other than the distraction of guests she knew the experience was not bad… like I said the food was very good!
