Malone’s Fish Market

* Warning, this is a very long review about a glass of Merlot in an airport restaurant.. :) I don’t like to give a place low stars that without the reason but I do wanna make sure I write a review because it really bothered me and it ended my short trip to New York on a sour note. This restaurant is located near GATE B where my gate was and I had a good hour and a half before I had to board Guysso I wanted a glass of wine to cut my nerves for the plane. The bartenders seemed very nice and they were working their butts off, I have to say, but when I ordered a Merlot, they just came over with the credit card portion no itemized receipt (which is I believe not legal to) It started getting busy so I reluctantly signed the credit card receipt of $29 (what the) and of course that doesn’t include tip so I only gave a $2 tip because I was a little taken back and confused. I did feel bad about the low tip, but I noticed that there was a 3% surcharge for employee retention so I assume these employees also get that %? I’ve never seen that employee retention charge in my life by the way. As I sat there drinking my wine, it bothered me so much. I was trying to figure out why I was charged about $30 for a 9 ounce glass of mediocre Merlot and a plastic cup. I came across the Google reviews and it appears that I’m not the only one that was confused by this restaurants hidden pricing! I’ve really felt the need to warn others, but I do realize that I could have done a little bit of research before I went to this restaurant I definitely take responsibility for that. Again, nothing against the workers there and was nothing at all that I felt they did bad although I can can’t say that they went above and beyond. I’m sure they work very hard.

I really wish I had checked the reviews before ordering here—because if I had, I definitely wouldn’t have. I ordered the Jersey Shore basket, which set me back over $30. What did I get for that steep price? A sad, overpriced basket of uninspired, lazily fried fish, shrimp, and fries, accompanied by a pile of ketchup packets and sauce. It felt less like a meal and more like a cry for help. I understand that airport food is expensive—tight margins, unpredictable foot traffic, all that. But if you’re going to charge premium prices, at least serve something that feels remotely worth it. This was airport food at its worst: overpriced, underwhelming, and utterly forgettable. Bottom line? I can’t recommend this place. If you’re hungry, save yourself the disappointment. Walk over to the B40-B43 gates, grab something healthier from a vending machine, or pick up a sandwich next door for half the cost. Your stomach—and your wallet—will thank you.

The breakfast report: $5.50 for coffee, out of the urn, not a whisper of flavor. None. The breakfast potatoes at $9.00 are ok and shareable...I asked for a fried egg on top...3.00, and got an egg patty of some type (pictured) On the plus side, the staff is capable, pleasant, and efficient.

$34 for three small cod tacos. Sign said it came with chips and a pickles so ordered it. After I got the food and asked where the chips were, the cashier said the tacos don't come with the sides, they're just in the same section as the items that do. Said the sign was just wrong. $11+ per taco 🤯

Yvette, and Angela were flipping fantastic bartenders. I was Privileged to be served by both, with fantastic attentive service. It was a Thursday early afternoon, price for beverage was great; beer and shot, and the food wasn’t disappointing. I had the Greek salad , and lobster roll. I took a picture of the roll because you never know what to get with lobster rolls. I’m truly happy with these two fine women taking great care of the bar; maintaining cleanliness and attentiveness with the guests

I had the Greek salad without feta and with chicken. It was a solid 3-star okay. Was not disappointed, especially for airport food. It does take a while to get your food, so not a good place if you are in a rush.

Unquestionably one of the most terrible airport food establishments this side of Old LaGuardia circa 2015. Depicted: $15 "martini" (none yet consumed). $18 "chicken Caesar", which consisted of greasy, cold chicken that had been momentarily dunked in a deep fryer, limp iceberg lettuce and 2 salad dressing packets. $8 "home made" fries that were clearly reheated in the same vile grease as the chicken. Avoid at all costs, just save some money and have a sad slide at the slightly less bad pizza hole next door.

Bartender was friendly. Host that took orders not so much. Fish & chips were good and filling, heavily seasoned.

I wish I had come to the reviews before I ordered. Nice but incompetent staff. Overpriced fast food and cocktails. Never will I ever spend a time here. This place wants to profit off of your desire to eat.

What to change?!! Other than the rather sweet woman working the register, EVERYTHING. I understand that the joint is located in Newark's airport, but that's no excuse for food that tasted like what I'd imagine a the underside of a dogs nutsack would taste like. Where to begin? The fried cod was mushy - zero flake at all. Thr cod within tasted, even worse than the the heavily over-battered texture. I belive that they are using recycled motor oil to fry their food in. Shrimp were more of the same. The clam strips were chewier than 27 year old gum that one would find under a seat in a sixth grade homeroom class. The fries were limp, oil-drenched and flacid like a...., well, you know. And since when did bad, cheap, pasty mayo with a few sad diced pickles pass for tartar sauce? The whole $29.99 "Jersey Shore" box is an embarrassing nod to the Jersey Shore. Disgusting, and I mean that. Had I checked Yelp before ordering, I would have realized that their current 2 star rating is a gift. This is a cautionary tale to all. PLEASE dont risk eating as this place, EVER. I dont review often. I also regularly overlook sub-par meals or service. With the exorbitant prices and miserbale quality of food, I simply had to call this place out. Do better FFS.

Was at Newark Airport for a connecting flight and had some time due to a delay. I always love a good lobster roll and you can never do wrong with homemade chips. However, I wasn't as happy with this meal. Now, it was a good amount of topping on my roll, but the flavors were not the best. The roll was what seemed like a hotdog bun. The homemade chips were a little on the over done side. For $25 for one person, it was way overpriced. It did take a while to make, they were busy, so maybe they need more help in the kitchen. When I was waiting to order, Veronica never acknowledged me for a few minutes as she was packing up orders. This happened to several others after I got my food, as well.

Date: Tuesday, May 7th, 2024 Time: around 7:45am Party of: 2 What: Morning Beers *Bud Light *Stella Artois We had some time to kill before our flight. One in our party was hungry, so he went to the food court to grab some eats. I staked out a table by the bar. Once he came back, I decided to grab some beers before our flight. I got the light beer, while my friend got the stella. I didn't get an itemized receipt, but our total with tax and tip for two drafts beers was $25.37. So I'm guessing they were like $9-$10 each. The drinks were what you expected. I managed to finish my pint quickly since I was boarding first. I didn't get any food, so I easily finished my beer. If flying Alaska at a nearby terminal, one of the only options open in the morning for some liquor. REVIEW #3416

It would be nice to actually stay open until 10pm like they say they are. The workers shut everything down by 9:30 and tell you nothing is available way before 10pm. SMH. When you ask them about it, you will be told "we close at 10"...well it's only 9:45pm

This is located in the Delta terminal in a small food court. For fast airport food this is not a bad option. Definitely the better choice among the other options Pizza and Subs. The service was on par with airport food service. Fast, in and out, next. Please know what you want before getting up to order. Not much on the menu so don't treat it like a making a career decision. It was a good size piece of chicken but for that and a drink it was $27.17. So with the limited seating, high prices I had to give it 3 stars overall but the food was about 4.

This place is a RIP OFF. Holy heck. $45 for two sandwiches, two drinks & a fry. Lady working at the counter was the most unpleasant person I've ever encountered. We simply tried to substitute fries for the kettle chips (like it says you can on the menu) and it was a whole huge argument. The worst part was after our horrible ordering experience .. we got our food and there was literally like 4 pieces of shaved beef on my husbands "cheesesteak" and two tiny, thinly cut pieces of pork roll on my sandwich. I have never felt more ripped off in my life. DO NOT GO HERE!

Looks good from afar. Massively overpriced in comparison to the businesses right alongside it, and massively disappointing. Had their cheesesteak and it was sloppy and not too tasty. Their chicken and avocado sandwich? The chicken was rubbery and tough. I would probably accept this from a busier restaurant but we were the only ones there and it was not busy at all. Better off getting a sandwich at the Firehouse right next to it or a pizza from Little Tony's. Absolute waste of money.

The burger, while overpriced, was pretty decent. To add, the chips they had weren't kettle chips out of a bag. Also nice to have a space to sit down and work on my laptop.

(Drank 12/12/22 MO @ 6:00pm): Maybe there was fish found at this market... but I was only interested in a beer! I arrived somewhat early for my Alaska Airlines flight to Los Angeles (my Lyft driver took a wrong turn at the airport and had to circle back in heavy traffic) in order to settle in, have less stress, and relax into my usual pre-flight drink and meal (I actually wasn't hungry this time around) which I found at Malone's Fish Market. I was still new to this airport and terminal, so basically all the eateries were foreign to me. I walked down the passenger pathway only to backtrack to this place by default because other options were too busy or simply didn't look appealing to me. Was my default choice the right decision, or was there something fishy why this joint wasn't bustling!? PURCHASE Goose Island Beer Co. IPA Beer 16floz Draft 5.9% ABV ($11.95): Rich amber color, light hoppy sweet aroma, light hoppy sweet flavor, low body, drying finish, and hoppy sweet aftertaste - a simple not-overly hoppy brew. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=E4bc20D5vAp7AybtTbwLIQ&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw SERVICE After about a five minute wait in line, I was greeted by a friendly woman behind the counter who was multitasking (he was mixing a drink and grabbed a food order, too), she quickly took my order, provided me with a nicely-tapped brew, I paid, and off I was to the nearest table to enjoy my libation; easy-peasy - cheers! PARKING (Varied; N/A this instance) I was traveling through and had no need to park. However, the airport provided parking lots and a garage that offered both short- and long-term options with various fees that ranged from $4.25 - $65.00/daily. However, this airport had a very good transit system that consisted of buses, taxi cab service, and Lyft or Uber stations. Because this was located within Terminal B of departing flights, you had to already be an outgoing or incoming passenger to even get here, so parking would be a moot point. ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE Located deep into Terminal B towards Gate 40 and beyond, within the Jersey By The Shore Food Hall, it was a rectangular floorplan with several communal wooden tables/chairs throughout the middle, a few high tables along the edges/walls, and two order counters on either side once you entered. A very clean modern look with little to no decorations. There was minimal natural lighting while plenty of recessed, hanging, and soul-sucking fluorescent electric ceiling lights filled in the rest from inside and the passenger walkway. There were a couple TVs up on the wall behind the order counter, but I couldn't recall any background music from all the chatter that surrounded you. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?select=pAWGHYjtnnu3Lg5PvxzDUw&userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops... if it weren't so freaking cold! OVERALL Malone's Fish Market satisfied my needs among the several similar offerings in this part of Terminal B. Because their beer selection was the standard vanilla variety you found at most terminals, I just went with a tried and true beer I loved. Mixed drinks and wine were also available. I saw some travelers dining on food (unsure of any fish), but I honestly had no idea how their menu was, so maybe next time I'd give it a shot if I had more time. The service was straightforward which worked for me. I imagined the food pricing was comparable with any airport eatery while the beer prices were really priced well comparably-speaking. And heck, I met a couple gentlemen to chat with while we drank our respective beers before we each departed in separate directions. I found good value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $13.00 BEFORE any discounts and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 3.0 STARS

Closed down at 8:00 on a Friday night. Doesn't make any sense. Even tho last flight is at midnight. Rude staff.

Literally what why didn't I just go to Starbucks. $20 for a small salad that contained large pieces of leaves, some soggy tortilla chips and dressing that tasted like it came from my college dining hall. A ripoff, even considering that it's airport food.

Have you ever been on a strict diet and really really hungry in the airport? I was in just such a predicament today, so I ventured into Malone's Fish Market in the Newark airport and ordered up the Greek salad. At $17.23, it was already overpriced. But, needing some protein, I decided to splurge and spend an additional five dollars on chicken. They served me up the driest most flavorless shoe leather chicken I've ever paid five dollars for. My $23 airport salad came with kalamata olives, tomatoes cucumbers and feta cheese. Plus the world's tiniest portion of salad dressing. The greens and veggies themselves were pretty good - fresh and freshly prepared. The thimble full of dressing was flavorful. Please don't waste your money on the chicken. If you need protein, go to the news stand and buy some jerky, it would be more tender and flavorful.

Unfortunately this was one of the only restaurant options at this set of gates in Newark airport. It currently has an overall rating of only 2 stars and my experience was also no better than that. There's a bar here where you order, pay and take away your drinks, and also a Malone's fish market and 2 other fast food restaurants with counters where you order, pay and take away your food. It's set up sort of like a food court with several tables and high tops where patrons can sit and eat the food and drink they've purchased from the various vendors. Because this is one of the only food options here, finding a table can be a struggle for sure. I had a steak sandwich from Malone's; It was mediocre at best, served with homemade thick cut potato chips and cost more than $20 before gratuity. Overpriced and not great quality, but it's an airport...Where else you gonna go?

The front help did not want to be there. Service was slow. I ordered the chicken strips and a ranch dip. The chicken was fine but they forgot the ranch dip. The chips were homemade, but had no flavor. I wouldn't recommend this place. I know I ordered chicken at a seafood place, but it shouldn't matter. The service is why they received two stars.

The rip off plus worst drink ever!!!!! When you asked for some water, staff told you it is out of sink even though you paid $20+ for a simple cocktail that came in plastic cup. Unfortunately I had to give one star in order to leave review....

I wish I read the reviews before buying my food. the worse breakfast I've ever had. Coffee was terrible. My Breakfast wrap had NO TASTE. No flavor. I had to throw my food away and walk somewhere else to have a decent cup of coffee.

This place is a trap but you know these places always are. I'm just glad the cashier and the other staff are aware of the rip off they present. I got the breakfast wrap and didn't see any pico whatsoever. I promise the bacon isn't "smoked" but similar to microwaved Boar's head. Anyway, it served its purpose. I saw that if you order a beer, any decent liquor shot is $7.99. I can't imagine spending $16 on chicken tenders or anything else beyond that point here.

2 1/2 stars Located in Newark airport, the is actually a bar and a counter for a take out "seafood restaurant" The only seafood options were a lobster roll and lobster salad. As most airport places are, it was very expensive. I opted for a Greek salad with chicken and my son had a Caesar with chicken. My salad was good. It was a little strange as the greens were spinach but it kind of worked. The cucumbers and tomatoes we're minuscule but the dressing was tasty. Surprisingly, the chicken was moist and flavorful. There just wasn't too much of it, especially in my son's salad. I think there were three little pieces of chicken in his $14 salad. There are not too many other options in this terminal. You might be better off with Firehouse Subs or the pizza place.

The breakfast wrap was small and flavorless. I would have been happier eating out of a vending machine

Good food, but the workers need help. Placed the order, asked for bbq when placing the order. Received order without it. Went up to politely ask for it. Tell me why this b came at me sideways "I asked what sauce you wanted?!" Yeah and i fuckin asked for barbecue, tf

I get it's the airport. But who knew I'd be so much better off going to Starbucks next door. Cheapest ingredients, coffee is disgusting, for the price point it's just ridiculous. EAT AND DRINK AT STARBUCKS

Two cups (9 oz) of wine cost 45 US dollars. This is a robbery. There was NO price tag on the wine menu and when I got the bill I was absolutely shocked. I felt sorry for the cashier so I tipped him 10 dollars, because he probably has to hear the complaints from many unhappy customers. Avoid this place at any cost.

Terrible. No service, dirty, terrible food, terrible wine, expensive. Total ripp off . It is just about taking your money without any respect of costumers Who is the owner ?

Worst lobster roll ever! I love a good lobster roll. This one was no good at all. The bread was OK, a potato roll I think. Inside the roll was a lot of lettuce and a small amount of small, shredded pieces of lobster. No mayo, no butter, no sauce of any kind. The lobster had no flavor whatsoever. It was like eating a roll with lettuce and shredded pieces of paper. On the positive side, the kettle chips were not bad. But for $30 including a drink it was pretty disappointing.

$7 draft new years special $15 clam strips Airport spot. Drink special was awesome. Food as expected.

Hope you don't mind spending $40 on two breakfast sandwhiches with two juice drinks. Also- it doesn't even come with sides. Go anywhere else.

This is what $17 gets you Before they subtly ask you for a tip. Didnt know take out food required tips now. About 6 bites of egg whites on a plain wrap missing the pico de gallo that was mentioned. Last time I paid 15 for breakfast at an airport I barely finished my huge frittata. This is sad.

So apparently these guys don't do wraps? Horrendous spot for food when your in Newark - $45 for two egg sandwiches and a water. No thanks - don't give this place your business.

Breakfast is an ABSOLUTE RIP OFF! I understand food is expensive at the airport but to charge $10.99 for a Taylor Ham, egg & cheese sandwich is CRAZY when they only put 2 paper thin slices of ham on the sandwich. Get your s--t together Malones!

Imagine wanting to keep it healthy while you're on the go so you pay almost $10 for an egg white wrap with feta, pico and spinach and this is what you get. Over cooked and burnt egg whites, way too much feta cheese that I gagged, some black stuff on my burnt egg whites and to finish it off, a nice soggy wrap! I want my money back but I'm already on the plane!

Terrible service for over priced food. I couldn't even get extra sauce for my burger. Food is mediocre too!

Everything about this place was bad, especially the food for the price you pay. I felt robbed eating here. Hopefully, they put a better spot here at the airport.

I just paid $12 for what I thought would be at least a decent Mac and cheese but what I actually got was what looks like Craft mac. For another $9 I got an egg white wrap. The egg white was definitely from a bottle but it tasted... weird? There were no wraps so they gave me a bun instead. At worst is was a soggy mess, at best a barley palatable sandwich. Please do not order here until they start selling something that's at least worth 1/4 what's charged. Usually airport food is over priced but overpriced and at least decent and some of it is made fresh.

This place is too pricey to be serving Fish sticks! You can tell it was still frozen when it hit the grease because it's gummy (See Pic) The fries are super hot and enjoyable. I refuse to waste money on anything else on the menu. Ultra disgusting cod fish stick wedge. Also the cashier has no idea what type of fish it was. Only until I said you don't know did she go and check. They don't even have tarter sauce, they give out ketchup

worst ever . $37 for a burger and an egg sandwich . they gave the burger no toppings and on a Taylor egg and cheese sand didn't include the ham . I bet they figure if people take good to go get in the plane they can't do anything about missing food items. it's shameful the cost and quality . and the workers were rude and aloof . dudnt even try to rectify we had to argue for our food . 5:30 am on 8/21 staff

Avoid at all costs. Horrible. I watched them tell a lady her credit card information disappeared so they had to recharge her card fifteen minutes into her meal. Miniscule food portions, burned fries....

Lobster roll was a joke !! Chopped up " lobster" onion and celery. More of a look and taste of tuna fish sandwich

Best cheeseburger I ever had. I don't always eat junk but when I do I know good stuff! And this places burger stacks up very very high on my list. Props to the grill person. Obviously it's overpriced it's the airport! Fk this people that places a bad review bc of the price. Complete knobs.

Average food, overpriced. I played it safe and got the burger, not bad, definitely not life changing. Definitely a frozen patty, fresh lto, freshly toasted bun. Kettle chips were homemade but a little stale.

I travel through EWR very frequently for both business and pleasure. Unfortunately business is not an option at his point in time. On the way to Detroit last week I had to a chance to check out Malone's Fish Market for the first time. I'm not a seafood guy, so I went with the Jersey Diner Greek Salad, hold the feta cheese. Crispy, moist greens, properly brined olives, and tender chicken were my reward. Their excellent customer service ensured that my order was completed correctly and quickly so that I didn't worry about my departure time. I look forward to trying out the Lobster Cobb Salad on my next go-around.

Awesome spot to grab a drink and a sandwich! Jersey Pork roll was delicious and staff was friendly.

Food was okay , but huge attitude problem. Asked when they opened and was told " when the lights turn on", very rudley. Also the woman at the front that takes orders, Betty , is very rude. Not polite what's so ever.
