Stepping into Molly’s Diner reminds me
of my high school days. Manager Jamie
Grantham’s friendly greeting and the
’60s blue-and-white tile floors and
matching booths are a retro blast back
to a time of familiar foods and music.
Even the walls of Molly’s are covered
with posters of all that was great about
the ’50s, ’60s and ’70s —
Sinatra, The Rat Pack, James Dean and
the Beatles, they’re all there. Eating
a great breakfast — available all day
— while listening to my favorite
Beatles’ tune also takes me back.
When you just want to get something to
eat (not really knowing what you want),
this may be the place. Molly’s offers
a menu that covers all the bases. If
it’s 6 p.m. and you’re craving
breakfast, try one of the specials. The
one I enjoyed was a bountiful platter
filled with everything good about
breakfast — bell peppers, mushrooms,
onions, fried potatoes, ham, bacon,
sausage and scrambled eggs all topped
with sausage gravy and cheese served
with toast ($4.95). If your dinner
companion is inclined to want typical
dinner fare, try one of the many
old-fashioned comfort dishes such as the
Swiss steak dinner with mashed potatoes
and gravy with a side salad ($6.95).
Molly’s offers a children’s menu
that includes a kids’ cheeseburger
with fries ($3.50).
Molly’s Diner was opened in mid-2002
by a group of investors. The diner
was named after one investor’s (Gus
Nicolaidis) mother. In January of this
year, the group sold Molly’s to Ali
Ismail, who carries on the tradition of
good home-style cooking at modest
prices. Molly’s Diner is one of those
neighborhood places where you’ll see
familiar faces and welcomed newcomers.
