Been to Mallard’s several times, never had a reaction. The menu was recently updated and some of my favorites are no longer available, but there are still a few items to choose from. The fish tacos were good! Flourless chocolate cake on the dessert menu is GF. Menu is clearly marked and the servers have been knowledgeable about gluten free options.

Amazing. The server came out and explained that she has Celiac and gave us all the info we needed help our son ( who has Celiac) make the best choices. He felt good afterwards and told us that was the best shrimp he has ever eaten! We ALL enjoyed our food- we are definitely going back.

I’ve been here several times. Each time I have been very impressed with their knowledge. A few servers have celiac, so they are very informed and helpful in making safe and delicious choices.

Review
Great food and staff as reported by others. I got the Shrimp Campechana and the chef working at the time, who reportedly also has celiac disease, prepared the shrimp special to ensure it didn't have cross contamination. They did fried tortillas for me instead of chips, since the chips are fried in the common fryer, and that was awesome. Even with softshell corn tortillas, the dish would have been very tasty. Like a taco. Very happy with the accommodations at this place.

Review
Amazing place & amazing staff. Reasoning for low review is because I had a reaction. Menu says GF for “gluten friendly” not “gluten free”
Ate the fish tacos and seafood campechana , so reaction could have been from either, who knows. Definitely worth a try though!

Gluten free items on the menu were marked. I had the Blackened Salmon with Crab and Mashed Potatoes, and it was very good. Service was 11/10

Review
I was excited to find Mallards as menu is marked for GF items. We started with the SEAFOOD CAMPECHANA which was yummy. I hadn't had anything like this dip before. For dinner I had the
BARRAMUNDI RODRIGO, which was served with coconut lime risotto. My husband had the
JAMBALAYA, which was very tasty, though a bit different than others we have had. My son had the Blackened Salmon, which melted in your mouth over homemade mashed potatoes.
Service was fantastic. There are a lot of GF options including tacos and pot roast with a burger available as a back up. They even have a flourless torte for dessert.
