    I came to Malone's with my daughter and grandson for lunch today. The food was amazing as usual. Two of us had the Cheddar Burger and the other the Lexingtonian Salad with chicken. Everything was delicious and cooked perfectly. The icing on the cake was the service provided by Trever. It was above and beyond! He was so considerate, efficient and accommodating. It was such an enjoyable meal and we will definitely be back!
