The weekend following our trip to Cincinnati we went to the Eagles concert in Lexington, Kentucky. As planned, we arrived in Lexington with plenty of time to eat a nice meal before the concert. It was very nice in that my wife’s two sisters and their husbands went also.  (I did not get a photo of us so I attached one of Malone’s Steakhouse when my wife, daughters and grandson took my Mother out for her birthday)

Malone’s offers a very relaxed atmosphere with a warm, friendly environment.  The dining room is lined with wood and stone, as well as framed autographs  of people who have dined with them.  I have eaten at Malone’s many times and have yet to find anything that I did not like.

Malone’s is best known for their steaks but they offer a wide selection of food to choose from.  The appetizers include some of my favorites:  the sweet and spicy calamari, spinach dip, and oysters Rockefeller.  My brother-in-law had the colossal shrimp cocktail which comes with shrimp more than twice the size  that you would get in other restaurants.

Malone’s also offers a wide selection of salads, seafood, house favorites including chicken and pork, and sandwiches.  The star of Malone’s menu has to be their steaks.  If you select a steak the price includes an all-you-can-eat Lexingtonian salad and one side item.

On this visit I chose the nine oz twin filets Rockefeller Au Gratin with a baked potato side.  The twin filets were tender and hot.  The Rockefeller Au Gratin was hot and covered the filets with its cheesy flavor.  This was the first time that I had tried this, and I did enjoy it, but on my next visit I may return to my old favorite: the twin filets with Kentucky Bourbon BBQ.

My wife had the  six oz filet with a side of asparagus.  Her steak was great and was well-seasoned. The only down side to any of the food we ordered was the asparagus.  It was very thick and was bit woody closer to the base.

It was a great dinning experience with the good steaks and the good wine.  Most of all it was wonderful to be able to sit a enjoy time with our family.  The six of us have been together for close to forty years. We have raised our children and are now blessed with grandchildren.  So I guess we have earned a night out with a good meal and a concert.
