    Out of town visitor and my second visit to this Malone's - the first being several years ago. The service was absolutely outstanding. Two different managers stopped by the table, and our server and his assistant provided perfect service. The food was good, but not great. The calamari could have been great though if it weren't drowned in sweet chili sauce. The rings themselves were tender and fried perfectly, but after the first few, the sauce had made them soggy and while the sauce is good to dip a ring, it got old fast when the whole plate was covered. The BLT I had was good, but I should have known tomatoes in Feb wouldn't be great. They took away from what was otherwise a tasty sandwich. Overall a good experience and I'll be back when back in town. It's hard to find a nice place for a relaxed lunch with great service, but Malone's fits the bill.

    Went here for a new year day dinner. The food was presented well but the flavors were just off for our tastes. I ordered chicken and it seemed to be undercooked, my opinion. The service was excellent and the offerings were varied. Ate here in the past for brunch and was super pleased and will continue to come here for weekend brunch.........try it. Overall worth a try.

    This gem has become our go-to spot for consistently outstanding dining experiences. The menu strikes that perfect balance of quality and value – you get generous portions of expertly prepared dishes without the eye-watering prices you might find at similar establishments. The atmosphere hits all the right notes – vibrant enough to feel energetic, but you can still carry on a conversation comfortably. The dining room has a warm, welcoming buzz, especially during peak hours, with a mix of families, couples, and groups of friends creating that perfect restaurant hum. What really sets this place apart is the staff. From the host to the servers, everyone seems genuinely happy to be there and goes above and beyond to ensure a great experience. Even during busy rushes, the service remains attentive and personable. We've been regular customers for a while now, and the consistency keeps us coming back. Whether it's a casual weeknight dinner or a special occasion, they never disappoint. It's refreshing to find a restaurant that maintains such high standards across the board – food quality, service, atmosphere, and value. This place has rightfully earned its spot as our favorite local restaurant.

    Our meal was delicious, cooked perfectly and beautifully presented. Our server Shelby and her assistant Katie took excellent care of us and made us feel welcomed. The highlight of the evening was having the manager D.J. check on us throughout our appetizers and entrees. We are looking forward to another dinner at Jeff Ruby's soon! Thank you and Merry Christmas!

    Delores was the BEST server we’ve had at any restaurant in a long time. She understands how to speak to people which most do not know how to do these days. We appreciated her and will definitely request her every time we go.
