The wait time was a bit long (30-40 minutes), but the food quality made up for it. The bang bang shrimp was okay, though the sauce had a unique flavor—like sweet mustard with a hint of spice—that didn’t quite resonate with me. However, the locally sourced burger was excellent! Highly recommend giving it a try.

Had one of the best meals ever here!! Can’t get over how delish their seasonal rigatoni with butternut squash and sausage was. One of those meals I will think back to and wish I could travel back in time and eat again. My mom and I had a great experience here, great food, atmosphere, got seated quickly and very kind service. Was visiting from out of town and Molly’s did not disappoint!:)

We were so pleased when we stopped for lunch here. Despite how busy it was when we arrived, the hostesses were super friendly and we were seated within 20 minutes. The drinks were great, the spinach artichoke dip was ABSOLUTELY the best we've ever had, and the chicken carbonara was amazing too. The waitress was pleasant and attentive even though it was slammed during our Sunday visit. Wish we were local because it would definitely be a go-to place for us. One thing to note is that there's no waiting area so it was a bit crammed at the entrance, and they do not call/text after they put your name on the wait-list.. so you just have to wander around and check back periodically.

Cozy vibes. Food and serious came out fast. The wait was only ten minutes for two people. Staff were very nice. Came twice over during dinner to ask if we were good! I didn’t see a wheelchair accessible entrances. The bathrooms were located on the lower floor with no ramps or elevator. Bathrooms were clean and well taken care of!

It was very crowded we didn’t have a reservation but we only had to wait 20 minutes to get a table and when we got one it was really comfortable. The waiter was really nice and made sure we were good. He made good recommendations about what we should order when we weren’t sure. Even though he was probably stressed he still took a picture for us. The food is amazing I had the Tacos and I can definitely recommend. The portions were perfect not too much and not too little. Would definitely go again. It was also cheaper than expected.

The food overall was pretty ok. It wasn’t bad where I couldn’t eat it but wasn’t great where I enjoyed eating. Maybe I got the wrong thing from the menu. I got spicy tuna and steak and sprouts. Restaurant vibe is good and cute. I don’t think I would come back unless this was only open restaurant in the area while I am here.

Excellent food and service. Started off with the spinach dip....delicious. I got the chicken carbonara, which was fantastic. My friend got the sherry tomato rigatoni, which she loved. I also brought a rigatoni with steak home for my husband. He really enjoyed it. I noticed that they had carrot cake, so I also took home a piece of that. It was a huge piece and delicious. If ever in the area again, I'll be back.

Avoid takeout. I ordered a single slice of cake for $9 at 7:22 pm that said it would be ready at 7:52 pm. I arrived and then waited and waited at the hostess stand. I checked in several times with the hostess, and was assured they were working on my order. I finally left at 8:42 without my order. It was a busy night and I was refunded but clearly something is wrong.

I met a good family friend who is a student at Dartmouth. We had heard from him about Mollys and it was a great place to meet. The chicken breast - minus the bun was a good choice and the cole slaw was excellent. Definitely worth stopping by. Dietary restrictions: No problem asking them to hold the bun for keto friendly. Parking: Got their at 4:30 and paid $.75. Thats cents!

Giant waste of time. Waited over a hour for a table with the most unorganized process I have ever seen. Seated was served flat sodas that we sent back and came still flat. Waiter basically ignored us for 20 minutes. We left without ordering food because it was a giant waste of time.. 2 hours of my life I won t get back.

They were clearly not prepared for family weekend at Dartmouth. Crazy busy and accepting walk-ins. There was no way to notify when your table was ready. They just told us to come back in about 50 minutes to an hour. There needed to be a better system, because it was completely disorganized. Preferential seating to 2-tops versus larger parties. We eventually accepted a table on the patio, just to get seated. As we walked through the restaurant, I noticed at least 3 empty (and clean) 4-tops that we could have been seated at. Once on the patio, we were brought flat sodas. Sent them back and got still flat sodas. The mug for my tea did not look like it had been washed. We received these drinks and then were ignored by waitstaff for over 15 minutes, even though we had informed them we were ready to order. They would glance at our table and then check on another table. We got up and left. Everyone in my party has worked food service and we agreed that this was unacceptable, despite how busy the restaurant was. Next year, I hope they are more prepared.

Huge restaurant, usually pretty full. Food is overpriced and menu is a little out there but they have great pasta. I didn t love the Asian inspired dishes so much. The burger is standard, and the salads are in my opinion very expensive (and sometimes the chicken in them is burnt). Overall they are decent if you know what to get and what to avoid. Kid-friendliness: They are kid friendly

★★
September 22, 2024

Charged me $12 for an perfectly ordinary draft beer. I asked if it was a mistake--it was not. Thats a reasonable price for a NYC airport bar in the year 2065, but kind of nuts for a small-town dive bar in 2024. Food was mediocre and the entirety of the atmosphere was overhearing the bartender complaining about her customers to another customer.

We enjoyed this restaurant. It has a pub atmosphere. The food was very good. My husband and I both had fish and chips. It came with a big piece of fish and two smaller pieces with fries, cole slaw and tartar sauce. He had a beer and I had a pomegranate Margherita. A mini loaf of bread before our lunch came was so good. Would definitely go back. The tab was only $54 before the tip.

Food is good but service is terrible. Sat outside and elderly waitress kept yelling at us from across 3 tables, interrupting our conversations, forgetting stuff from our order. She rushed us in general, because she wanted to go home. Of course they always still want a massive tip, regardless of their bad service. Not sure I should keep eating here.

My wife and I ordered the Turkey BLT($16) and Fish and chips($19). Her fish was good, and the coleslaw was great. Her fries, like mine, seemed old, but still warm. Probably been sitting out for quite a while. My Turkey BLT which was supposed to come on a toasted brioche bun instead arrived on toasted tasteless white bread cut on the diagonal . No explanation from waiter. The fries were just like my wifes, old but warm and chewy. So, BLT means BACON, LETTUCE, and TOMATO. Well, bacon was present - a half piece maybe - on one side of the sandwich and the single small tomato slice - about 2 inch in diameter had been exactly centered in the middle of the sandwich so each side got a one inch piece of tomato. Lettuce was okay. Turkey meat was standard deli fare, nothing special, and stacked an 1/8 high. Wow!! Thats all for now. Hope they decide to reexamine what a sandwich is - its NOT two pieces of bread with nothing in the middle.

July 22, 2024

I was there for two hours and all I got was appetizers, if I would have ordered? I probably would ve to bring my luggage. My waitress was the epitome of apathetic. The nachos were cold and anemic. Chicken fingers were meh! I would have ordered a lot more if the service was better. Other tables got their orders in after us and got their food before us. After ordering appetizers, she walked away and didn t even give us time to order our drinks. I had to stop her the next time I saw her 15 mins later!

Atmosphere, food and drinks dont disappoint, except on this trip, our waitress was rude and abrupt with me, hence my 1 star for service, otherwise I would have rated it a 5 as per my usual visit. I hope she was having an off night, and was typical. Parking: Street parking available where possible, or a shirt walk since its on a T junction with traffic lights.

We ordered another round after dinner and the server rushed us out before we were even halfway finished. (She literally said something like you need to leave so I can make money ) I would understand if we were really lallygagging but it couldn t have been more than 5 minutes after she brought us the round (that she suggested).

Had the most amazing lunch there last week. Im low-carb no-sugar, so finding a good meal in a restaurant is difficult for me. So I asked our very-helpful server for a breadless Philly cheese steak with sweet potato waffle fries. The meat, onions, peppers, and mushrooms all tender and warm were absolutely delicious. AND instead of melted cheese being the topper for the mound of meat and veggies, it had been stirred through and made every bite a delight. Checked all my boxes. My husbands burger was also perfect, a little pink on the inside and nicely browned all around, accompanied by a side of coleslaw. We left the restaurant completely satisfied, and plan to go back often.

I really like Mollys. Great place to take kids/family, but reservations are highly recommended unless you want to wait a while. They usually have a great beer selection, and cheap (but eminently drinkable) margaritas. They have an extensive menu with good options all around. I like their pizza, sandwiches, pasta dishes (esp their mac and cheese), salads... Basically havent found something I really didnt like yet, at least within the spectrum of things I usually order.

An honest review after dining several times over the past few years: Consistently poor service - having to ask for water, silverware, bread, etc. Some food options are okay (tuna avocado, chicken quesadilla), others are quite awful (Mac and cheese is more grease than cheese) and the brownie has less flavor than boxed brownies. Apparently the Mac and cheese was voted as New Hampshire s best - please someone do a wellness check on that committee (if they exist). The servers are often unknowledgeable regarding beer on tap / specials. For the price, I would expect a lot more. Unfortunately, there aren t many other options in the Hanover area. Murphy s is a better option for ambiance, similarly priced food and drink.

January 22, 2024

Was here on Dec. 30 at about 7pm and they were out of many ingredients to cook the food properly. After picking a meal we were interrupted by the waitress telling us that they were out of cheddar cheese or gluten free crust for pizza. Just not the experience we were looking for.

★★
January 22, 2024

I had dinner with a friend at the restaurant on 1/4/24. The server seemed like she might be new, but she was nice enough. There was a table seated about 10-15 minutes after us and their food arrived 10 minutes before ours. We had only ordered a pizza and tacos, so it shouldn t have taken too long as the restaurant wasn t especially busy. The tacos were disgusting. There was a bed of bland, seemingly straight out of the bag slaw at the bottom of the tortilla, topped with overcooked, dry and lukewarm fish nuggets. The quality of the food has unfortunately gone down significantly since the last time I was there. After our meal, it felt as we were being rushed out of the place as the server asked if we were ready for the check when we had barely finished eating. I planned to order dessert, but then a large party of college students was seated right next to us (there were at least four empty tables in the dining area), and the entire bench and row of tables we were in was full so it was difficult to hear my friend. We settled with the server and went to the bar area to order dessert where we could hear each speaking. I ordered a decaf coffee and dessert, while my friend ordered a regular coffee. It seems the server didn t pay attention when he served the beverages because it s nearly 4 in the morning and I am wide awake. It s not only annoying, but caffeine gives me heart palpitations, which is scary. All around, the service was subpar and the food wasn t good. Save your money and eat elsewhere, especially if you ve been to Molly s in the past and expect the same quality of food.

Ordered an avocado chicken sandwich and boneless wings from Snackpass. Food took 20-30 minutes longer than expected and the sandwich was missing the avocado and some other ingredients. It was very plain and dry. The wings were stringy and soggy and got thrown out. Served with comically huge chunks of raw carrots, like rabbit food. I ve had better meals at Mollys before but this was such a disappointment, I d never go back.

Stopped in after a quick hike in the area. I had the Mac and cheese, which was very good, and Rob had the short rib rigatoni, which was also good. He also had a side salad which was a pretty good size salad. I had a small side salad with balsamic dressing that came with the Mac and cheese and my only gripe is that it came on the same plate as the casserole dish that just came from the oven and was very hot, so half of my salad was warm, which wasnt ideal. But overall, were very glad we stopped there and had a great meal. I also had a strawberry lemonade which was very good (I dont like them super sweet or super tart and this was very nice: more tart near the top and a little sweeter near the bottom where the strawberry was).

The food was worth every penny (especially the pastas!) and the unique vibe of the restaurant elevated the entire experience. The staff members were kind, helpful, and accommodating. Kid-friendliness: There are crayons and butcher paper on each table! Wheelchair accessibility: Wheelchair ramp access available at the back entrance

Food was great. Everything we tried was good and flavorful. A genuine exception to most of the food weve had in the upper valley so far. A great surprise. Prices are too high on everything except the margaritas. Which are an amazing deal. Highly recommend.Service was moderately lackluster. Atmosphere is mixed? Its kind of a mix of dive and fancy. Silly sayings on signs just hasnt gone over well for me since like 2000. Vegetarian options: They have a beyond burger and several veg options

Out of towner here on a work assignment. Stopped here after a long work day. Sat here for ten minutes and not a soul came to offer water or take my order. Instead, they all hung out in the back chatting. Will never suggest this place to my business colleagues. Seated at Murphy s now. It s down the street in case you have a similar experience.

Loved Molly s. A bit of a wait to get a table for two for lunch on July Friday afternoon after 1:30pm, but worth that wait. My non-strict vegetarian daughter had delicious Mac and Cheese which was presented with a side salad, and I had the Chicken Avocado Sandwich served with bacon and hold-the-cheese. So hungry and eager to eat, I was halfway done and only then realized that I had to smear the avocado onto the sandwich, it being served on the side. Fries were too good to skip for my diet. The topper her is the Famous $3 Margarita which is a real thing! and served salted was great. Jessica the waitress was super and we had a seat with a view of the pedestrians outside. Would/will definitely return if daughter attends Dartmouth (on the coach to finish the pre-read and to extend the support for her sport, and she d commit today), but I could see locals hanging for hours at the bar and spending a lot of time and money here myself was this in my back yard.

Its been 30+ years since I visited Mollys (then called Mollys Balloon) and it is nice to know that while the name may have changed, the atmosphere, service and food remain as good as ever. Our waitress was quick, friendly and genuinely seemed like she was happy be there, and our drinks, appetizers and main courses arrived precisely when they were supposed to. Everything was fantastic, and we even got a prime booth next to the window to people watch while we ate and drank. Well be back!

We ve been coming for years. The faces change but the food quality and service never disappoints. There s a respectable beer and cocktail selection and enough variety on the menu to please all. This kid friendly establishment is one I would recommend. It has a decent outdoor patio area as well. The staff is properly trained and very courteous. This place is worthy of a visit if you haven t been.

A really fun bar/restaurant in Hannover. They say the margaritas are the way to go - but a great selection of local beers was hard to beat. And the steak tacos were fantastic! Fun environment - super helpful staff! A spot that every college town needs!

Service was okay. They were quick and efficient but not too friendly. I got the almond salmon and I was severely disappointed. The dish didn t even taste like salmon, the arugula was soggy, and I didn t like the quinoa. The only good thing was the bread and maple butter. The drinks were delicious though. The atmosphere has a very homey feel and I like the seats by the windows. Would only come back for drinks and bread/appetizers next time though.

The food is first rate. Fresh & delicious. The Pad Thai had a coconut cream sauce I loved. The avocado tuna appetizer had lots of tuna and a spicy sauce. That app could be a meal itself. Definitely worth a visit. Parking: There is parking on the street but this was a holiday weekend. We went around to the back where there was paid parking.

We were in town for a long day of heme/onc get established appts at Dartmouth and decided to get takeout on our way out upon recommendation from a friend. We ordered online which said food would be ready in 25-30 mins. It ended up not coming out until 50 mins after ordered and was lukewarm when we got it, and cold by the time we got it to the hotel 10 mins later. Too bad because the food would have been good hot and the atmosphere seemed fun had we been able to eat there. I only write the review because I have a feeling the online order app grossly underestimated the time until a 6p order was ready.

An iconic restaurant in Hanover. $3 margaritas which are always a deal, they have a brick oven which makes delicious pizzas and nachos. With this place being so popular right next to Dartmouth college, its always very busy. So if you want to come here, Id come earlier than later. Sometimes because of how busy it is, the service can be pretty bad. For the most part they do a great job though.
