Malone’s Steak & Seafood - Review - East Point - Atlanta - The Infatuation
"Malone’s Steak & Seafood in Hapeville is where you go when your flight lands early, your Airbnb isn’t ready, and you just want to sit down and eat. A few minutes from the airport, it draws families, just-landed friend groups, and locals who come for the chill, no-pressure vibe. The space is huge, and you never have to wait for a table (another win if you’ve spent your whole day in boarding queues and TSA lines). The menu’s big too with mostly steak and seafood and some Southern staples. Out-of-towners should get the fried green tomatoes and red velvet cake for a decent intro to ATL. The ribeye is just fine. And the seafood pasta is a smart filling option since it’s a massive portion loaded with plump, blackened shrimp. Malone’s isn’t flashy, but it’s reliable and relaxed. RESERVE A TABLE Food Rundown Angus Ribeye This $40 steak comes with two sides. It’s seasoned well, but there’s a good amount of gristle to work around. Garlic Knots A wise move—they go with everything from pasta to steak to fish. Soft, garlicky, and about the size of a racquetball. Blackened Chicken Alfredo Exactly what you’d expect from a place that doesn’t specialize in pasta. It’s fine—cheesy, heavy, and loaded with thick, well-seasoned chicken strips. Grilled Grouper This is pretty good. Char-grilled and served with steamed green beans and mashed potatoes that are salty and garlicky. Malone’s Pasta A big bowl of blackened shrimp and chicken in a buttery garlic sauce. It’s rich, filling, and definitely big enough to split." - Jacinta Howard
