    Molly Os is a great addition to the downtown Belmont area. It's spacious and there's a ton of seating without feeling overly cramped. Our group of 6 shared 7 dishes and we got Irish car bombs. The standout dishes were the fish and chips, spicy Irish nachos and sausage roll. Staff was friendly and checked in on us often. Parking can be difficult during dinner hours but we were able to find street parking within 5 minutes.

    I went in to watch a Liverpool game on a weekend, and the place was open even before their scheduled time. Ian (I think that was his name), a Newcastle fan, was a great host and got me seated as soon as I arrived. I ordered the Eggs Florentine and a coffee. The hollandaise sauce was light and flavorful, and the eggs were perfectly done. The side of potatoes was also surprisingly light. This is a great local spot to get together to watch games or even just grab a bite. Definitely check it out if you're in the area!

    You know even though I do not live in this town, I spend some time here. And honestly, we went up and down the street looking for a new venue to try. Went with my cousin Rick..and we finally decided we land upon this gem. Our server was a great guy, with family that hails from Ireland..Aiden is proud of his history, and rightfully so. Hands down, clean place, friendly staff and the food was great. Alright so it is an Irish pub, but I was in the mood for something typically Irish and Pub, outside of my Corona beer :-) We started off with an appetizer as my cousin suggested, we had the Appetizer platter which was great. It came with sausage rolls, potato skins, onion rings, chicken wings and quesadillas.. ok not typically Irish. But them I had the Fish n Chips for the main with slaw and it was perfect, crisp..fresh and just great. My cousin had the Bangers and Mash!! So hands down I would come here again. My other favorite pub that has a similar first name is Molly MC Gees in Mt View in the S Peninsula. Now this is my favorite Irish Pub in the S Central Peninsula. I will be back. Cheers!!

    Nice family owned Irish bar tucked in on San Carlos Ave. My friend and I popped in on Saturday to grab a bite to eat. The places wasn't too busy so we decided to sit at the bar. The bartender was welcoming and friendly. We ordered some sausage roll, fish and chips and a couple of Espresso Martinis. The martinis were about the best I've had. The food was equally delicious. Fish was lightly battered, tender inside and crispy outside. The chips were French fries, I prefer the larger potato cuts, but these were pretty good. They also have several tv to watch sporting event and live music on certain days. I think it's a great place to go and hang out with friends.

    Molly O's seems to be a relatively new addition to the comforting San Carlos Laurel St. area and I'm so glad I've discovered it. I can't put an exact pulse on whether it is a bar or a restaurant but it sure has an Irish Pub vibe. Slightly dark, lots of wood, a Guiness dispenser, and a relatively bustling scene. Now this certainly isn't your true Irish Pub or an alcohol first place like Marvin Gardens down El Camino. It makes a great balance of beer and food and that's what you exactly need in a family-centric area like San Carlos. It shouldn't be weird to walk into Molly O's with another colleague or a date night drink, but also it is perfectly comfortable to take your family with kids. A restaurant business in San Carlos cannot survive only trying to serve the office / night-out crowd as that is the minority. And thus, San Carlos residents always struggle when you just want a quick night out with your buddies or adult chat. And like I said, Molly O's manages to create that Irish Pub but not neglecting families. The food is obviously comfort-food style. Good portions. Slight Irish twist such as Fish and Chips and Irish Stew French Fries. Again, tasted fine and way above average for a pub. And they seem to be serving breakfast, lunch and dinner as well as everything in between so this could come across a bit dubious whether they'll get even one of them right. My visit as a pub earned my seal of approval. Will absolutely return again and try it out as a restaurant for a proper meal. Stay tuned.

    Corned beef sliders!! YUM!

    Love it here!! Such a fun vibe and we loved the staff, we went for lunch and didn't want to go back to work we had so much fun! I highly recommend them! I've also been there for breakfast too! Definitely go see them and you have to try these corned beef sliders! AMAZING!!

    Crab Louie salad, really good!

    What in the Emerald Isle is going on here?! Soooooooooo happy the area got a proper pub here in the hood! FINALLY!!! You're greeted immediately by friendly staff accommodating your every pub whim AND...traditional Irish music playing at a nice level so you can talk and enjoy the music. Overall, great atmosphere. For sports fans...there are multiple flat screen TVs all around so you won't miss out. Love, love, love these beautiful people and their beautiful, supremely clean Irish Pub! It's really beautiful inside with the chandeliers hanging above the rich, dark brown polished wood bar, floors, tables, chairs with nicely painted walls adorned with Irish framed artwork. The bar area is gorgeous and everything is very clean and sparkly. There's an upper floor for group/parties or when the downstairs gets crowded. I dined during happy hour (3-5pm daily) and the first thing I said, "Could I get a Smithwick's, please?" My all time fav beer on earth. Gorgeous red ale is so smooth and the taste is chef's kiss perfect. I could drink 10 of them they're that good. The red ale is from Ireland where I was first introduced to the sudsy delight. Next up! I need some pub grub. I ordered the Sausage Rolls to start. These are a must order when you stop by. They're homemade Irish deliciousness. I also ordered the Crab Louie salad with some proper Irish breads and butter. The food is all delicious and very nice quality ingredients. My order total set me back about $48 before tip. I ordered quite bit expecting to take home my leftovers for later. I believe they have live music Thursdays through Sundays in the evenings. From what I've read, they're super busy nightly, which I'm happy to hear. I hope these folks stay around a while. Definitely will return soon and I highly recommend going alone, coupled or with a group, you'll be treated with great hospitality! Nice peeps and great food. Their menu is huge, too. There's something for everyone. Not just pub bites, full entrees as well. Fish tacos were the special of the day. You have street parking and 2 free of charge parking structures within brief walking distance; behind the Sam Trans building and under the condos back behind Blue Line Pizza. Cheers! Order Smithwick's, you'll love it!

    Shepard Pie
    Stacy W.

    Service was great and food was yummy! Very laidback pub. The onion rings were yummy, batter wasn't too thick, crunchy and gave huge portions. The stew was very heavy, a bit too salty for me but overall was good. Had loads of potatos (of course! ). Shepard pie was flavorful and somewhat light? Heavy because of the potatoes but the meat flavoring was light

    Salad
    Jack R.

    Another bar? Why not! Get the potato skins, they're delicious. Get the crab melt, also delicious. Service here was great, and this bar was clean and felt welcoming. This had more of a calm restaurant vibe even though they had the game going on and multiple people wearing their favorite jerseys. This was a great lunch spot. My coworker got a salad, and you can see by the lettuce that it was fresh. My salad was also fresh and good. Great place in San Carlos to swing by and get some grub!

The atmosphere was anything but that of an Irish pub: extremely bright, loud, nothing warm nor inviting about the place. The food was nothing more than horrible. Wife ordered the Grilled Marinated Chicken Breast - it was a flat, overcooked, flavorless, chewy piece of chicken, similar to what you would find in one of those frozen Costco bags. To "compliment" the dish were 4 long green beans and a "mound" of mashed potatoes that would more than fit into a standard ice cream scoop. I'm all for simplicity, but this was a joke! I ordered the Irish Stew. Every bite was an explosion of flavor. Unfortunately, the only flavor was salt! Again, failure in simplicity: Beef stock, beef, mounds of salt. Grade: A for concept, F for execution.

The whiskey selection is, and I say this with complete authority and only slightly blurry vision, "surprisingly incredible". The cocktails are also dialed in, they've got concoctions on the menu that you may have never heard of, or just pick the vibe you're going for and trust the process. I trusted the process.

They melt the American cheese on the sliced roast beef, then placed on the sesame seeded bun with shredded lettuce, mustard, MO's special sauce and lots of lovin'. When I took my first bite, I said out loud, "Am I eating a Big Mac?!" Very creative are these folks. The chocolate croissant speaks for itself. It's fully loaded flaky croissant goodness and it's huge! Head over to Mo's for an excellent sammie experience! Plan for to-go as it is very tiny, however, there are tables and outside area, too. The location used to be a Subway for years. Very nice new flavor in town. I believe they opened in 2024. I will definitely return!
