And don't forget to order the Fish'n'Chips.

I had the pleasure of meeting a very cute dog who was celebrating his 18th birthday at the bar along with his two furry friends and their owners. Loved that the people at the bar were friendly and conversational even though I was a newcomer. We ordered some $5 Happy Hour cocktails, which were really great as they are made with brand name alcohol such as Stoli, Deep Eddy and Tangueray rather than no name alcohols from the well. Food happy hour specials were great too - The Waygu Beef Hotdog was served on a buttered and grilled roll and hot the spot. The fried pickles were good as well, although next time I'll ask for them extra crispy. Great place with friendly customers and employees, excellent service, and good food.

We sat at the bar and were handed menu's and our drink order taken. The bartender was friendly and pleasant. She clearly knew the other occupants of the bar as they discussed their families, co-workers and local news. She wasn't quite as verbose with us, but why would she? We had more than enough time to make our selections, and even though we weren't in a hurry, it did feel like a long time. Still, the longer we stay, the more we drink. Right? So that works for tips. ;D She did eventually come over to take our food order between chatting, refilling drinks, welcoming more locals and taking care of bar set-up duties. So she was busy. This is a bar more than a restaurant, and the food was good. There seems to be one person on the bar and one in the kitchen. At least at lunch time. Our food came out at the same time, was warm and well prepared. The bartender put things we may need on the bar top near us: ketchup, forks, etc. and left us to it. She did check on refills during our visit. There is a small restroom opposite the bar that was clean. The ambiance here is neighborhood bar where you come to drink and spend time with your neighbors. Friendly. Not really a 'family' atmosphere. Especially with some of the language. Just FYI. It's a fair sized space and I suspect would be busy on a weekend evening. Definitely a lively spot.

Well, I'm happy that they were because dinner here was SOOOO good! The bartender helped us choose a bottle of champagne to start. We shared everything. One of each of the deviled eggs each. The maple cranberry was interesting. The sour cream chive one was to die for! The ricotta gnocchi was elegant and fluffy. The sauce made it over the top. The ribs were good, but I'm a Midwest girl. They just don't compare to back home. The clam linguine was seasoned perfectly. It was quite filling. We ended with the Apple Olive Oil cake with maple ice cream. The cake itself was quite dense and dry. The ice cream helped. I would not order this dessert again. Service was quite SLOWWWW, and for no reason as they weren't very busy while we were there. There were long gaps between courses and then once we were finished we kind of just sat there for a while. The food was worth it but something is not running efficiently and could be improved. Still giving 5 starts because it was so good and everyone was welcoming.

I think the overly critical reviews from pompus people are funny. I've been coming to Herbert's since it was located elsewhere. I've had nothing but positive experiences and great food. The staff has their off days...the reality of this fact is what makes this place more comfortable and homely. Unlike the others who have written before me...I don't walk into a restaurant in a shopping plaza and expect five star food for two star prices. I'd give them three stars. Thank you for reading. read more

Just on the corner, you can people-watch during your meal. The space is currently decorated for the holidays (yes, it is January), but we loved it. The menu is fantastic with a variety of breakfast and lunch options. If you cannot find something to order, there is something wrong with you.

Of course, you walk in to a large display case of muffins, cinnamon rolls and other bakery treats. But today, I wanted pancakes! Eggs, baked beans and pancakes! The beans were incredible.

For food, they serve up a selection of appetizers, wings, loaded waffle fries, salads, soups, chowder, chili, sandwiches, tuscino sandwiches, mac & cheese, risotto dishes, steak frites, chicken tenders, baked haddock, braised short rib, and desserts. The bar offers 9-10 draft beers, can libations, wine, cocktails, mixed drinks and non-alcoholic options. This Molly's in Dover is not connected with other similar named establishments in NH such at Molly's Tavern & Restaurant (New Boston) and Molly's Restaurant & Bar (Hanover), both more than an hour drive away. I stopped by Molly's in Dover for dinner recently on grand opening weekend. I opted to sit at a small high top table in the bar area which had great views of the TVs. I was given a menu to look at. My server Molly (lol) took my drink order as I decided on food. I placed my order for 2 starters and an entree. The Chips & Salsa ($3 plus tax) had crunchy corn tortilla chips with lightly seasoned salt and a house salsa (pureed tomato salsa), enough for a group. The French Onion Soup ($7 plus tax) served in a crock, had a dense mix of caramelized onions & herbs in a hearty beef stock (onions less broth) topped with a melted cheesy (gruyere) garlic toast. Both starters were great. For an entree, the Italian Deli Tuscino ($16 plus tax) was a baked folded flatbread (pizza dough) sandwich stuffed with salami, melted mozzarella cheese, prosciutto, capicola, pepperoncinis, lettuce, tomatoes & pickled red onions served with crunchy warm homemade chips. The sandwich was very hot to the touch and a bit messy to eat. The warm potato chips were perfect and not overly seasoned. I requested a box for half of the entree so I could order dessert. For dessert, the Cookie Skillet ($9 plus tax) took a bit to come out freshly made and hot out of the oven, served in a very hot 9" iron skillet, which had a fresh baked soft chocolate chip cookie topped with a scoop of hard vanilla ice cream and lots of chocolate sauce. This dessert could easily be shared with 2-3 people, but I finished this decadent dessert by myself. The check with Toast QR code was dropped off, which was $37.98 with tax and before tip. I was able to pay on my phone and head out as the place was getting busy. Overall, tasty food, good portions & prices, and service was attentive. I was checked on during the meal by the server and manager and ice water was refilled. I would definitely come back here possibly to catch a game on the TVs and for more tasty eats.

And honestly -- the pizza is still some of the best on the Seacoast. That crust is unreal. Back when Patrick was managing, the vibe was incredible. He made a point to connect with people, let us sample new beers on tap, and made the place feel like a neighborhood hangout you actually wanted to support. Since the management change, though, the experience has taken a real nosedive. The current manager is frequently outside chain-smoking on the front patio, tossing cigarette butts on the ground, then walking straight back inside to serve tables without washing his hands. On one visit, he brought my food to the table absolutely reeking of cigarettes -- which completely killed my appetite. Service is hit or miss now. The one consistent bright spot is Jade at the bar -- she's fantastic and the only person we reliably get great service from. We also really miss Thursday Bingo. It used to be a fun excuse to make a special trip just for dinner and a game. It's such a bummer because this place used to be a favorite. The food is still excellent, but the leadership, cleanliness, and overall experience need serious attention.
