Molly O'Brien's - Restaurant in Hot Springs - 8913 Park Ave, USA

Cute Irish themed restaurant with Italian and bbq menu items. Not gonna lie, We found this just driving around and was a lil bummed to not find any Irish fare like shepherds pie, bangers n mash or even some Scottish eggs. It seems to be heavily known for pizzas and pizza joint menu items with a few bbq options oddly enough. I was happy to see they had draft beer, even if it was only two options. I wasn’t in the mood for Italian or bbq really so I went with the only option that was neither and got the bone-in wings. We also decided to just try the boneless ribs since we were pretty hungry and that’s why we stopped. Honestly, I hate saying this but I wasn’t a fan of either app. I ordered the wings plain bc I find that most wings aren’t marinating in the sauce you pick anyways and it tends to keep them crispier and less soggy. These came out with sauce all over them but the waitress did apologize and said we got a sauce on the side anyways… but since the sauce was on them that wasn’t really necessary but I see they were trying I guess. They looked good, a lot better than the photo on the napkin holder I will say, but as far as texture, not my fave. They were really squishy on the outside and didn’t have really a hardwood smoked flavor other than the basic buffalo they came covered in. They were decent sized at least and none of them were deformed like some places serve so that was a plus and the meat was decent but nothing to write home about as far as wings go. Now the boneless ribs. Mannnn, I don’t know what to really say other than it was pretty amusing to see a tiny plate with two small slabs of sauced meat on it as an appetizer for $9. I mean, we really didn’t know what to expect honestly bc the menu said it came with three and we almost didn’t order it bc that’s an odd number to share and it wasn’t like we were in Spain ordering tiny plates. The waitress also apologized about it without us even saying anything bc she said they actually go by weight, not by what the menu says. Alrighty. Well I think regardless it was more of a $6 app at most and for $9 at least throw a crudité on it like a bed of lettuce or a cute dollop of their Cole slaw, nothing too crazy. As far as the two bite experience, it was decent. The texture was tender but the flavor was mostly the bbq sauce and not the meat itself. Now I will say, I will definitely come back one day to try the pizza bc looking around at other tables, the pizza looked bomb. I can’t say for sure but being that this Irish looking place has a ton of Italian specialties and most of the reviews are positive, I bet the pizza is the front runner here. Speaking of front runner, that was definitely the draft pitcher of beer and at $9 I was happy about that. The atmosphere was pretty cozy and on a nice day I would definitely sit outside on the front porch and watch the cars roll by in the countryside.

If my family had stopped by here before we decided to move, we may not have moved. They have great pizza and lasagna... too bad I didn't get to try more!

Not a bad little spot. We went here on a Sunday around 430 pm. We ordered the hot wings and ravioli. The ravioli came with a salad. All of it was fresh and tasted delicious.

Ordered 1 Chicago crust with Italian sausage & mushrooms & 1 regular crust with pepperoni n Extra cheese. Pizza was Great!! only 1 issue, Both were regular crusts. The Chicago crust was definitely missed by me..

I normally would not leave a bad review but I was definitely left with the impression the staff ,(especially the lady taking orders and payments at the counter had no interest in our experience tonight she was very rude) we have been here many many times like back when they used to actually serve you but the last several times were slow service like never did receive the “free” garlic bread, if you want ranch you must pay for it, if you need an actual pizza box to go you must pay for it, (they do provide smaller styrofoam containers for free) I understand things have gone up we all feel it I do believe it would go over better with customers to just go up on your prices instead of posting signs all around the restaurant about the extra things you must pay for. The place is busy no busier than any other time we have been there or any other place I have been to if you cannot take care of the people in your dining area maybe take the phone off the hook and don’t do call in orders? This used to be a favorite place to go when in the area we will not be back I work too hard for my money to give it to people who could care less we are spending it with them. That being said the food has always been good it seems to be the staff they did not look short handed even if you are short handed you can still be nice.

Wow, what a little treasure! Located just 3.5 miles from the HSV East gate. We had pizza & Lasagna and both were delicious! Nice crispy crust on the pizza and golden, toasted cheese atop the lasagna. YUM! Add to that, endless garlic bread and a sample of their marinara. ALL we’re excellent. Thank you Molly for the great food and hats off to our waiter Ethan. Well done, we will be back. 🤗

First time to eat at Molly O’Brien’s! Really good pizza and looked like a local favorite! Great and friendly service!

Five star service as with every visit. We order here about twice a month and our experience never disappoints. Consistent, friendly, affordable, and convenient. We love Molly's! ❤️
