molly's in soulard

bland tasting burgers :

this place was slow at lunch today from 11:30 to 2 pm only 12 other people came in for lunch...
and this place was cold inside ....

we both ordered burgers (medium) i had it with a salad and my buddy had the fries.
the burgers are over cooked, and the buns fell apart in our hands the salad comes with red onions & dressing couple of cucumber slices and that's it..
the dressing is the only thing about my meal that was tasty.

the service was also very slow...

this is not our kind of place for lunch way to many other restaurants to eat at in this area... just walk across the street much better food and service.
this is one of those place's we wish we would have walked out of....

we walked around outside and this place is awesome some remodeling is going on  inside and they have a huge outside seating so they must be doing something right .you might want to read other reviews before you go here to eat... drinking might be fun..

wonderful. had our engagement party here and it was absolutely fantastic. can't stop raving.

worst food in soulard. i had dinner at molly's in soulard. this place sucked. i had to send back my food, it was wrong. my partner's citrus salmon was completely dried out. and we ordered dessert and coffee, after 20 minutes we asked for the coffee and never got the dessert. man, please do not eat at this place. we spent $83.00 dollars and the food and service was terrible. save your money and go somewhere else.

watch your bar tab on the patio!. this past weekend i was overcharged on my tab by $60.00. not sure how 4 beers adds up to to that? then i was accused of lying and was told i just had to pay it! funny thing was there were 6 shots on my tab and i don't drink liquor! when i refused, i was then told that they can't void the order, bs. in the midst of me arguing i witnessed another individual at the other end of the bar asking how her tab was $85.00 on 6 beers! rediculous and down right absurd. just becasue your service sucks and the tabs are not that big, don't try and make up for it by screwing people that you thought were drunk. never again will i return! learn the lesson the customer is always right not the d-bag bartender!

perhaps it was that we came at the right time to be seated at a comfortable outdoor table, that our server was warm and welcoming without being chummy, that our food came to the table hot, that our tab was pleasingly reasonable. we enjoyed molly's much.

november 2017: returned and again much pleased. shrimp and grits satisfying and the little tomatoes riding on top gave lovely brightness to the warm comfort of grits. we are fans of mitch’s serving skills and style, so rare these days.

molly's is the best in soulard!!! definitely a great experience. we had four courses of goodness once, i don't know how we had room for desert after all that food but we did it... also, i love that they keep up with their great quality and awesome service every time.

stopped in for actual food for the first time. food was pretty good, i highly suggest the fried green tomatoes! had the chicken spedini for entree, was also delicious. max n cheese was tasteless though.

great service, neat ambiance, delicious food.

loved it!. never been there before. we're from central illinois and stopped in for lunch after visiting st. louis for the day. best fried green tomatoes i've had outside of the very deep south! and i'm from illinois. husband had pulled pork sandwich and really liked it also!

be prepared to wait. we arrived there at 10:30 am and waited for thirty minutes to be seated in an area where all the tables and booths were open. then waited another hour on our food, then received our ticket which could not be split up and of course had 20% gratuity included. bottom line, food is decent but their service is terrible. this was my second and last time eating there due to terrible service.

fake city bar - overpriced lousy service
terrible experience.....go anywhere else in soulard but molly's

excellent food!. we stopped in last friday evening for supper. we were promptly seated and served glasses of water by the hostess. we were greeted by our waiter and he took our drink orders. we ordered the paneed alligator for our appetizer. i have never had alligator before and what were served was delicious, but was a bit pricey at $12.95. i ordered the jambalaya and my wife ordered the shrimp and crawfish etouffee. we were both very pleased! we will return!

we went to molly's this past friday night. food was excellent. the alligator rangoon were crazy good and the étouffée was just right. we finished with beignets that were perfectly done. it wasn't too busy in the dining room but the patio was a little hectic. i will definitely go back.

avoid. not worth the money or your frustration. now that the weather has finally cooled down, my husband and i were really looking forward to our dinner on molly's patio. unfortunately, we just paid $50 for what is probably the worst meal we've had this year. we arrived around 7:00 and were immediately seated. the patio was wide open and only about 6 other tables were occupied.

the waitress was friendly and came over quickly to take our drink order; she suggested a pitcher of mango mojitos for $24 which we ordered. she was back with the pitcher just a few minutes later, but left to give us more time to look at the menu. 10 minutes later she returned took our orders: one hamburger and one chicken sandwich. then we waited... and waited... and waited. two other tables were seated and ordered and served. and still we waited. the waitress came by and one point and said "it won't be long now".

we waited 45 minutes before we finally received our food. my "kitchen sink" burger: cold. the pulled pork on top: cold. the cheese had cooled enough to re-solidify and would no longer qualify as 'melted'. the fried pickles and fried onions were actually cold - as in, just came out of the fridge. even my sweet potato fries were cold. my husbands chicken sandwich: cold. it just boggles the mind. all we could think is that the food must have been delivered to the bar where it sat until someone finally asked "does anyone know where this is supposed to go?" our waitress finally came back over to check on us. we told her the problem; she seemed irritated and confused that i wasn't going to eat a cold $11 burger. then she apologized but made sure we understood she hadn't cooked the meal (as if that had ever crossed our minds), and asked if we wanted anything else. umm.. no. i wanted the meal i ordered, only this time hot.

so then we waited some more. the table next to us got their meals and when the food runner came up he said, "who got tonight's special: the salmon". whoa. there was a special tonight? who knew?

another 20 minutes and we finally got hot food. considering the state of our first meal, i honestly expected to see a manager or a supervisor or something. nope. just the food runner who wasn't even sure what he was delivering; he came to the table and said "who had the pulled pork sandwich?" it was hamburger with pork on it, no bun.

the pitcher of mango mojitos started out cold and refreshing, but we were a little disappointed that you couldn't tell there was any alcohol. by the second cup we were seriously unimpressed. there was so much ice in the pitcher, with the heat of the night it had melted and completely watered down the drink. the refreshing, light carbonation in our first glass was now gone. it's as if they'd premixed a huge cooler to serve pitchers quickly, but had been sitting around long enough to go completely flat. very disappointing. by the end of our meal the pitcher was more water than anything else. we didn't even finish it.

when the waitress came back with the bill, we were surprised that nothing was taken off. by no means did we expect to get our meals for free, but we did expect something - even 10% as a gesture. nope... we paid $50 for dinner. but had to wait more than an hour to finally get a meal we could eat.

we've had good experiences before at molly's and love how inviting they are to bringing dogs on the patio. unfortunately, with prices that high and service that low, we won't be back. next time we'll head to the hard shell across the street.

exceptional food, affordable pricing. my wife and i both loved this restaurant. the ambience of the place, with its outdoor seating and french quarter interior, was inviting and unique.

more importantly, though, was the food, which was exceptional. we had the fried green tomatoes and shrimp, followed by an oyster po' boy and jumbalaya, then finished with a slice of pecan pie.

the tomatoes were fried in a fine cornmeal breading while the shrimp, unfried, shined because of their freshness. it was paired with a red creole and remolaude sauce. it was perfectly balanced.

because the oysters on the oyster po' boy were fresh (the freshest i've ever had in the st louis area) the sandwich was minimally dressed in a little lettuce, tomato, and a spicy white sauce. again, they used the cornmeal breading. the flavors were simple and amazing.

my wife enjoyed the jambalaya, every ingredient of which was made from scratch. they even make the andoille sausage in house. i tried a bite. rich, tomatoey, spicy, savory, complex-i think i finally understand what it's supposed to taste like.

lastly, was the pecan pie, which came with whipped cream. we devoured it. though sweet and nutty, as you might expect, there were some other spices in play that made it out of this world good.

in closing, i think this is probably the best meal i've had in several years. everything, from beginning to end, was top notch. i've paid twice as much for food half as good. with their unique atmosphere, friendly service, and amazing food, i'll be back soon.
