Reviews

Great little spot only a couple minutes off the highway. Sandwich was top notch! Lattice tasted like it came straight out of the garden! Definitely worth the small detour.

Found this quaint spot on my drive down the Eastern Shore of VA. You do have to take a little detour onto Route 13 Business through Historic Accomac. While there really isn't any retail or other eating options on this route (at least none that I noticed driving through), this hometown cafe offers a great alternative to fast food. I ordered "the Clerk" sandwich but subbed the Honey Ham for the Turkey. Everything was fresh, from the soft wheat bread, to the alfalfa sprouts, sliced tomatoes, and crisp lettuce. And the flavors blended nicely with the cranberry mayo. I initially planned to take a bite or two and then hit the road, but instead I sat in the parking lot for an additional 10 mins and ate half the sandwich! The young lady was very kind and hospitable. Bathroom: Clean: Yes Changing Table: No Bonus features: None to mention Add'l Notes: Because the cafe was originally a house, the single bathroom seems to be a jack and jill bathroom connecting two different rooms. So I would suggest making sure both doors are locked . There's still an old shower but it is closed off by a curtain.

Sure a comfortable shop with a relaxing feel to it. I loved the sandwiches names. I had the lawyer a Mediterranean tuna salad that had olives and feta. The combination was delicious. Its locally owned and the safe were so nice!

Cute little place just off US 13. Ate lunch on the front patio but there were seats inside. Great sandwiches and salads. Much better than fast food chains.

Reminiscent of the gourmet sandwich shops in the 70s and 80s. Top notch ingredients, courteous staff and good atmosphere. I had the clerk and it was delicious and I can’t wait to go back and try another one

I am do excited to share my story about this wonderful discovery! I have been loving on Folly Creek in Accomac for 5 years but visiting here for almost 45 before that when my folks lived here. Guess what - my first visit to Mallards Sidewalk Cafe took place only a month ago! Are you kidding me!?!? I took my wife there today and she absolutely fell in love with it! The sandwiches are yummy and so big that the little woman could only make it through half of hers (she had the rest for dinner tonight). It was so great that she wants to bring our friends, who are visiting from Pennsylvania, here for lunch tomorrow! Bye the way, the “Clerk” was her sandwich of choice and she loved it so much that I plan to order it tomorrow!

This little deli is a very quick detour off 13 but definitely worth the stop. I ordered the Clerk, a turkey sandwich, which was delicious! The bread tasted fresh as if it was homemade and I've never had cranberry mayo but it was a perfect complement to the rest of the sandwich ingredients. All sandwiches are served with a bag of chips. My sandwich was made so quickly, I didn't even get to the bathroom before they handed it out the window for me to take. Staff was friendly too.
