Mallard’s Restaurant

Mallard’s owned by white people? The reviewer who stated this is delirious. The guy is Asian and he got put into jail. Which helps the point of the other reviewer about adding to the stereotype for people of color. (no offense, i’m asian too)

It’s actually a zero star.
Mallard’s, you’re HELLA closed.
Thanks for adding to the stereotype statistic that people of color are:
[x] money launderers
[x] hustlers
[x] kleptos
[x] and can’t drive well
You suck!

Mallards is now closed, and boy oh boy was I disappointed about that fact last weekend. I spent the previous week thinking about Champagne Brunch, but now, never again. Oh, Champagne brunch, how much I’ll miss you– unlimited champagne, hours outside on the patio because our huge group was too noisy for inside, omelette bar, crêpe bar, etc. Once in college, I got in a car accident on my way to Mallard’s to meet friends, was traumatized, and had a friend drive me to Mallard’s anyway because my car was totaled and I was distraught. Probably one of the either the dumbest or most awesome things I have ever done. So sad. So sad.

I absolutely love the food here! The service is excellent. everything is prepared fresh and served hot. It’s a very nice place to relax and enjoy.

WHITE PEOPLE IN THE HIZ-​OUSE!!!
Are you white and successful? Did your great great great grandparents arrive on the Mayflower? Are you fresh out of church wearing a pastel Oxford shirt and pleated slacks?
…then head on down to the ‘pond and enjoy a scrumptiously pricey Sunday brunch. I indulged with «my people» yesterday dressed in my standard LA weekend uniform… vintage jeans and a sarcastic graphic tee. Let’s just say I felt more than a bit self-​conscious. At any rate, despite having been raised in this environment, I was very very creeped out by the provincialism of it all.
The food was awesome though. I loaded my plate with a healthy pile of lox, piled high with a mountain of capers; shrimp cocktail; crab legs; and sweet battered cod and rice pilaf. I really wish I had brought a hefty appetite with me, but I just didn’t have it. My social anxiety was on overdrive, and it drove the hunger out of me.
We obviously didn’t get our money’s worth, but the good news is our money was spent well on making the white people who probably own Mallard’s $ 50.00 richer.

Last time I was here I threw a chair into the river, pulled out marigolds and saw a girl fight.
Oh wait, I meant last time I was here in college.
Now that I’m grown-​up I finally realized the champagne that ever flows clouds your brain — and I saw that there was actual food. To eat. In a Buffet.
Who fucking knew?!

I had the Sunday brunch here today with the family. There was a lot to choose from and we all definitely left full. They seemed to do a lot of items average instead of a couple main items really well in my opinion.
I thought the best was the lox, and the tri-​tip was pretty good as well. The crab was pretty flavorless as were the e-​z-​peel shrimp. The service was excellent though and it seemed like every time I got up to get a new item my mimosa glass was full. needless to say I had a good afternoon nap!
If you are in Stockton and are looking for a nice brunch this is a decent option. If you can make it up to Sacramento though, the Delta King Sunday brunch is by far superior.
Overall the brunch was as expected and I left satisfied.

brunch at mallard’s: a rite of passage for every student at uop. 3 stars for the ever-​flowing champagne. no stars for the food (and the difficult to locate soy sauce near the sushi… boo)
ok, 1 more star for the sandwich i had there on my last day of work. granted, i had tossed back quite a few with my fellow now-​unemployed coworkers, but i remember loving the mashed potatoes.
i love mashed potatoes.

So, what I remember most about Mallard’s is that it seemed that I always went here for prom and formal dates in high school. This was rarely fun for me for a myriad of reasons that I don’t need to go into.
While the food here is just fine and sometimes great (considering that this is Stockton) the service was always terrible when I was younger. This is one of those places that thinks that they are doing some great charity work by even allowing someone that is under 21 to eat food and charge them an arm and a leg for it. This being the case your young ass isn’t getting more bread, water and someone that wants you to be happy with your meal. You are getting water, bread and maybe someone to write down your meal request when ever they damn well please.
I think that I really just don’t like prom. Sorry Mallard’s your bunch is one of the best in town.

Sunday brunch here is splendid in terms of service and food. Parking available; crowded but rarely a wait. Omelettes on request, variety of fare for the serving-​counting, health-​conscious population, as well as the hearty-​bowl American breakfast options folks.

$ 20 all you can eat, all you can drink Sunday Brunch… don’t think we didn’t take advantage of this for 4 years! Thanks mom and dad… what a great education I got!

Their Sunday brunch is highly impressive. Usually crowded but worth it. Kinda reminds me of the big casino buffets. The restaurant could use some updating.

Service was good food was fine nothing struck me as out of the ordinary. Just the usual American fare; steaks, salads, etc. Good location and the service is great. I like their Jack Daniel’s Whiskey Chicken.
