“I think there is a potential for 5 stars, but our experience, while not the worst, was not the best either. Service was slow even though when we got there, there was a 6 top that was waiting for others and was waiting to order, and one other 4 top besides ours. There was 6 people at the bar, but the bartender was there for them.Once we did get service, our waitress was very kind. We were able to put in our drink orders and food together. We got the meatballs and crostini, the loaded baked potato with pulled pork, and 2 orders of chicken fingers for our kids. The meatballs came out piping hot and had excellent flavor. My loaded baked potato was hard, and everything on it was freezing cold, including the pulled pork upon being brought out to our table. Both of our kids' chicken fingers seemed like they were just cooked in the microwave instead of being baked or deep-fried because the breading was soggy. Overall, the idea and the flavors were there, but there were just a few things that missed the mark and could use improved upon. I did let our waitress know about potato and asked her to make the chef aware. Another thing is, they didn't have any salt or pepper on the table, nor were we asked if we'd like refills on any of our drinks.I must say though, the ambiance was wonderful, and I loved that they had a whole game section and blackboard for kids to play. It makes for a very inviting, family friendly atmosphere. I would absolutely go back if were back that way.“

“A great brewery in small town PA. I had a great experience sitting at the bar. The service was top notch with great hospitality. I ordered a flight cause many of the beers sounded really good. The food menu was just as good too. I ordered the fried goat cheese burger with chips. It just melted in my mouth. Probably the best burger I've had in a long time. I can't wait to come back!“

“Food was quite tasty and filling! Service was satisfactory. Location was nice and nice my wife and I could walk in and get a table on Friday evening. The place wasn't too busy but was noisy. We appreciated the funny "bar signs" on the wall. Nice convenient spot and nice to check out as part of a "beer trail" I'm going through. The beer cheese burger was delicious and filling and my wife enjoyed her large plate of nachos with pulled pork. Tried and true, had heard of the restaurant before, and see it's been around for 30 years when we visited.Parking: Plenty of street parking around town and it was easy to walk around town and find this restaurant and other bars and dessert places around town. Nice place to visit.“

“As a Dickinson graduate, I always found myself at Molly Pitcher. The people there are incredible and lighten the mood of the restaurant. The menu isn't overly large, they are pretty consistent with what they know and are good at, but I always loved getting the House Salad with Tuna, for whatever reason I loved this salad.“
