Our Story
At Molly’s, we celebrate the deep-rooted memories of a passionate culinary journey inspired by Molly’s family heritage. With a heart full of love and nostalgia, Molly embraced the opportunity to make it her own, blending the vibrant flavors of the past with fresh, thoughtfully sourced ingredients.
Growing up in South Minneapolis, Molly found her greatest inspiration in her mother and grandmother, Bess. Bess’s farm was a place of warmth, filled with the delightful aromas of home-cooked meals. Cherished summers spent on the farm contrasted with the bustling energy of city life, fueling Molly’s desire to attend culinary school.
Though her grandmother is no longer with her, her spirit lives on in every aspect of the restaurant. Drawing from family traditions, Molly is committed to showcasing seasonal dishes that reflect these cherished recipes. From heartfelt specials to creations inspired by comforting Midwestern fare, each dish tells a story.
In addition to honoring her family’s history, Molly is passionate about giving back to the community that has supported her throughout this journey. At Molly’s, we strive to be more than just a restaurant; we actively engage with local farmers and artisans, sourcing ingredients from those nearby to foster relationships and uplift our community.
We also dedicate time and resources to community initiatives, hosting events that support local causes and bringing people together around the dinner table.
At Molly’s, we invite our guests for not just a meal, but an experience: Celebrating the flavors of home, the essence of thoughtfully sourced food and drink, and the spirit of community.
