Molly's Restaurant and Bar is an awesome family restaurant on the Dartmouth campus with a wide selection of options including hearth-baked pizzas, a friendly atmosphere and super-inexpensive $3 house margaritas. It's the kind of place that you want to walk into and spend time at as you view it from the sidewalk. Molly's is gorgeous on the outside with actual ivy climbing up its brick walls. And then you go in and if they're baking pizzas in their hearth, it smells especially inviting. Their service is excellent: I've always seem earnest and efficient staff, here. Their sweet potato fries with honey mustard are awesome. I've really enjoyed their salads and noodle bowls. The pasta dishes are satisfying. Never had a burger there. The thin crust, wood-fired pizza - though on the smaller serving side - is truly a thing: hot, melty and perfect texture and crunch. The Buddha Bowl, Bang Bang Shrimp and Gochujang Chicken Bowl are all hits. There are so many more things on their menu I would still like to try! Get the carrot cake. Yum. The desserts are: carrot cake, mud pie, brownie, lava cake and churro cheesecake. And it appears by the menu wording - Make it a Shake or Make it a Hot Fudge Sundae - that you can get these dessert ingredients actually made into a shake or a hot fudge sundae, which is creative. The Molly's Restaurant environment is classic with nods to historic Dartmouth College moments. The bar is a fun place and good to visit after taking in a movie at The Nugget. I especially love the handwritten blackboards in the bar area with chalk art and drink specials, etc. I have never felt that I was invading a campus scene dominated by deserving collegiates, here, instead - welcome. I've sat next to families with kids and seen them drawing on the paper table cloths, while I was doing the same. :) I have seen groups of students, many non-students and older college staff dining here, so it is welcoming in that way. I once dined here alone in the snow and looked out of the windows to see storybook icicles gracing the front windows. Not being from here, I actually thought they were decoratons because the icicles were so big. No: they were real - gigantic and gorgeous - icicles here. You often see parents and students dining together and this is what makes Molly's a Dartmouth gem!

Service was okay, maybe because it got super busy? On a Sunday evening? Nice New England charm, funny signs for the decor. My wife said the cosmopolitan was the best she's had in a while. Table bread and butter was delicious. I had the turkey burger and sweet potato fries. My wife had the avocado and apple salad. Everything came out quickly and tasted marvelous. We took some carrot cake to go...it was okay, could have skipped it. But would definitely recommend it if you're in the Hanover area.

Got the mac and cheese. Disappointed, tasted gummy like pasta wasnt fresh. Was so quick in was likely in warmer.

We enjoyed a leisurely lunch on a rainy day. We got there before the noon rush and stayed well after. Service at the bar was spot on. Food was excellent. I had the fried chicken taco special. It features a slightly sweet hot chili sauce. Quite yum, only wish the shell had been corn rather than flour... But it's New Hampshire. My companion had a burger made of local grass-fed meat with Boursin cheese melted on top. She was happy with it. The $3 house margaritas satisfied, not particularly potent, but that's AOK for lunch. Server was flawless. Would go back.

Gave me truffle fries when I specifically noted there was a truffle allergy and to keep all food away from truffle.

First time coming here. It was delicious. Everything is made in-house. The spinach artichoke dip was amazing. The short rib pasta was divine. I look forward to my next trip and trying something new.

First off, the waitress needs training. Took a little bit for her to take our orders with barely anyone there. We had to ask for plates for the appetizer and she plopped them down and walked away. She never checked on us at all after bringing our order.

The food was ok. I had the fish tacos and it was filled with dry coleslaw at the bottom.

The wife had the fish and chips that was undercooked.

The bathrooms are just gross.

Sorry, we will not be back.
