Molly’s Rise and Shine

If Turkey and the Wolf is the successful sandwich firstborn, and Hungry Eyes is the drinks and snacks ‘80s wild child, Molly’s is the breakfast middle sibling of this restaurant group’s family. But make no mistake: this spot in the Garden District doesn’t play second fiddle to anybody when it comes to the morning meal. That’s because plates of country ham with hollow cheese puffs, fried chicken biscuits, and their take on a grand slam McMuffins studded with an American flag are so good. Plus, walking in feels like you set a time machine to 1991—there’s so much ‘80s and ‘90s ephemera scattered everywhere throughout the dining room. You’ll find a Nickelodeon “Guts” Aggro Crag trophy on the long shelf, a Michael Bolton READ poster from the American Library Association on the wall, and a life-size E.T. statue standing watch over the kitchen.
