Wow, recently ate at MCC and it was terrible. The server was beyond terrible. Not going back for a holiday meal or any other meal.

I was the one that posted on nextdoor about Mallory CC. Yes I worked for SYSCO for many years, the owner can say what he wants but that was not real turkey. Plus, most people can tell when its a formed and proccessed turkey breast. Taste was not good.
That's unacceptable for what they charged.

I sent an email to them but got no response. I had a polite conversation with the manager Saturday evening when we were there for dinner. She really had no idea what they served, thats what she said anyway.

I was lied to on 2 occasions prior to Thanksgiving when I asked about this and was told it would be from a whole bird.

I sold to restaurants that served the real thing on Thanksgiving. They just cook them in advance. Obviously the owner took the easy, low cost low quality route.

Thank you for pointing this out. Maybe (hopefully) this practice at Mallory might change.

Thank you for posting this. I wrote a review on Yelp and was immediately contacted by the owner (I posted his reply in an earlier post here, but it might not be showing up). His response was: "We cooked whole turkeys and that's what you were served" and he wanted me to call him to discuss it.

As I mentioned in a previous post, I have some experience with this and the owner was flat out lying in my opinion. My response to him was: "No thank you, I'm not good with gaslighting".

Not local.

Well it used to be part of a whole turkey until it was not.

Wouldn't turkey, processed or not, have to originate with the whole bird? Just pickin' nits over here, but "not real turkey" implies that it was some other meat, vegetable or concoction labeled "turkey" but with no actual turkey in it. Artificial. Tofurkey? If so, wouldn't that be fraud?

While going out for a holiday meal sounds great, there is almost always something that makes me wish I hadn't bothered to go out. For the holidays, give me a turkey burger or a hot ham and Swiss on sourdough, a cold beer and let me eat in peace in front of the TV. I'll give thanks for home sweet home.

BrianL99 - So did you call him as he requested?

Did anyone eat out on Thanksgiving at one of the other country clubs & were happy with the turkey they were served?

I did see the Glenview / grouper post, but I was hoping to find a bright spot in the Thanksgiving traditional fare.

Thanks!

Last time we ate at Mallory’s for Christmas, it was like eating a glorified Swanson Dinner. But if it is like what I am hearing, then maybe I will give another try

I ate Thanksgiving dinner at Palmer Legends, in 2022 & 2023. It's not an exaggeration to say it was spectacular.

A friend of mine's family, owns Hart's Turkey Farm in NH. It seats 500+ people and has been a landmark for 70 years. They know how to do turkey. Palmer's Thanksgiving dinner was as good as any I've ever had at Hart's.

Ummmm, processed parts is parts processed turkey meat with instant fake mashed potatoes smothered in canned gravy. Homer Simpson’s favorite!

After he tried to gaslight me? I know what I was served and he claims I was served something different. There was no reason to call him.

We have lived here since 2007 and I have always liked Mallory as an option to the standard chain restaurants. Never expected or tried anything considered cuisine. Was somewhat used to their Sunday fried chicken dinner. Seems like chickens were getting smaller over the last two years. (apparently their supply of Chicken does not come from Sam's) Then got hooked onto their Saturday Hamburger special , Hamburger and a beer for $7,99. Great Burger and a good snack after golf.
Change of management, no hamburger, kitchen problems, and attitude change, and no longer a draw for us.

Their Faux turkey and apparent misleading claims regarding meals has caused us to cross off Mallory as our go to place.
