Malone’s Steak House at Hamburg

Before going to the University of Kentucky football game, my daughter and I went to Malone’s Steak House for a good meal.  As we do most of the time, we went to the Malone’s at Hamburg.  The address is 1920 Pleasant Ridge Drive, Lexington.  It has a great environment and the staff and management are always friendly and informative.  We started the meal with one of my favorite appetizers, fried Calamari.

The Sweet-n-Spicy Calamari as it is listed on the menu, is made up of calamari, red peppers and banana pepper fried with a lite batter. Malone’s serves them with a sweet and spicy chili sauce.

For our meals we both decided to have the twin filets which come with hot bread a bottomless Lexingtonian salad and one side item. I ordered my filets with a Kentucky Bourbon BBQ sauce and Crispy Onions.  It was one of the best steaks that I have ever eaten.  On my last visit to Malone’s I had the twin filets with Rockefeller Au Gratin.  The Bourbon BBQ is by far the better choice in my opinion.

My daughter ordered the Twin Filets with Blue Cheese Au Gratin.  The Filets were served with the crusted Blue Cheese on the top of them.

Both of our orders were cooked to Medium Rare as ordered.  The steaks were as always, tender and juicy.  For one of the best steaks in Lexington you must go the Malone’s Steak House.

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.
