Maloney's is classic West Virginia. Good food, good people, good prices, and West Virginia University Mountaineers! It's a great place to come catch any game that's on. They have all the sports packages so if you can get the game in WV, it will be on at Maloneys.
Their food is great. The Maloneys Burger and their BBQ wings are my favorites.
The staff is very friendly and attentive. This place can get quite busy on the weekends but the bartenders and waitresses are always attentive and friendly.
On our 2d visit, it seemed as if we were in a different restaurant. After seating ourselves, we waited at least 5 mins. For a server (bar keep). It was obvious that even though there were 2 other servers, they were too busy talking. Bar keep was unfamiliar with menu. After placing drink & food order, we waited at least 30 mins. for a cheese burger & a shrimp poboy. Same as ordered on our first visit. Since the place is small, one can hear all that is said by the kitchen staff. Became very obvious that only one of the kitchen crew knew what was going on. He kept barking orders. I.e., onion rings 8 minutes. Fries.....
Quality & presentation was no where as good as they were on our first visit.
We will give them one more shot, but not anytime soon. Price? You judge. Cheese burger, fries; shrimp poboy, onion rings; 2 ice tea. $27.
I didn't have the pleasure of visiting pre-fire, so I can only talk about my experience over the Thanksgiving break.
We went to watch the WVU game with some fellow crazies. My wife, brother, and I were able to snag 3 seats at the bar - SCORE! - and we had a great view of their multiple HD TVs. It was loud, but not too loud. They had a local craft beer on tap from Fayetteville - SCORE! - and the usual suspects of course. No liquor, but it wasn't missed.
We tried a couple of their fried appetizers. They weren't super greasy and both baskets were pretty much empty after a few minutes.
It was too cold to enjoy this day, but the real gem of this place is the back deck. It's huge and also has a nice TV and bar setup. Would be an awesome place to hang out on a nice spring day.
Maloney's is a great place to grab a beer and watch the game. Â As out-of-towners from St. Louis, we were searching for a place to watch the Thursday night Rams/Cardinals game. Â From a referral in-town, we ended up at Maloney's because they were the only place in town that had the NFL network. Â
We were immediately welcomed by the bartender and the locals. Â They had a great selection of beers and the prices were reasonable. Â Lots of TVs around the bar itself and around the tables, so everyone had a great view. Â We had dinner before we went to Maloney's, so I can't rate the food, but from what we saw it looked great. Â
My favorite part was that everyone was friendly and welcoming, as opposed to another bar that we tried earlier that evening. Â The bar even stayed open until the game was over, even though we were 2 of the last 3 people there. Â If we're ever in the area again, we will definitely stop by Maloney's!
