    Souvlaki Salad with grilled shrimp! It's the BEST salad!!!
    Dolores A.

    This spot is such a hidden gem tucked away in the English Creek Shopping Center in Egg Harbor Township, I'm back! It has a small‑town, cozy vibe with booths and tables that make you feel right at home. I've been here several times and everything I've tried has been consistently fresh and delicious. Most recently, I ordered a garden salad with grilled chicken, even though I originally asked for a side salad, what came out was a huge, vibrant plate full of fresh veggies and perfectly cooked chicken. It was absolutely amazing. I've also had their tuna & turkey sandwiches, BLT and subs & all excellent. But my absolute favorite is the Souvlaki (Greek) Salad. It's outstanding every single time. I usually add grilled shrimp or chicken and you just can't beat it. It's huge, flavorful and always satisfying. They offer a wide variety of breakfast and lunch options, including vegan choices, and there's plenty of parking since it's in a plaza. Friendly staff, great food and a welcoming atmosphere, definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

    The food was good. There was no hot lattes bc the machine was broken. Got iced latte and were very light on the espresso/coffee flavor. Service was quick.

    Stopped by this spot while in the area and was not disappointed! Pricing was reasonable, food was ready quickly, and the staff was friendly. Got a ham sub and chicken tenders with fries- both yummy. We will definitely be back!

    Vegan breakfast options.

    Great breakfast spot that offers a variety of vegan options! Conveniently located in the ShopRite plaza, don't let the location fool you. Plenty of space inside, with additional seating around back. Why did it take me so long to discover this amazing gem, located right here in Egg Harbor Township, NJ? I had heard that the vegan options were good and I was happy to finally give it a try, but I wasn't getting overly excited. Ha! Was I ever surprised...and in the BEST way possible. They have vegan options for breakfast and lunch (see pics). I went with the French toast and an omelette (w/ mushrooms, onion, spinach + cheese). Comes with potatoes, which were cooked to perfection, and a choice of toast, English muffin, or bagel. I opted for an everything bagel (w/ vegan butter) and it was fresh, chewy, toasted perfectly, I mean-really good. I can't say enough about what a great experience I had. Our waitress, Danielle, was helpful with our order and explained that they are very careful about vegan orders, cross-contamination, and allergies. Breakfast for 2 for under $50 (we didn't have coffee or other beverage) and we had plenty to take home. Can't wait to go back again!

    Chicken Sandwich and onion rings

    Nice local diner. Souvlaki salad is a big portion. Grilled chicken was seasoned well and juicy. We would've eaten twice as many red onion wings. Crayons and kids menu provided as well as an courtyard for passing the time with the kiddo while we waited for our food.

    Pork roll, egg, and cheese.

    Diner style restaurant serving up unique dishes for breakfast and lunch. I went for breakfast and wasn't too impressed. They have a serious coffee selection but I wasn't blown away with their breakfast fare. I got their pork roll, egg, and cheese on a roll and a side of scrapple. Ive had better breakfast sandwiches at bagel shops. They up charge for a side of breakfast potatoes/hash browns which a lot of other actual diners don't. Overall, wasn't too impressed. I heard good things about their lunch dishes so I'll have to come back and try that.

    First time being here. Booths only in the front and then there is table seating in the back. Was seated right away. If you have a hard time walking, from the parking lot to the door is a pretty good distance. Definitely drop off those who can't walk far at the door before parking. First impression, looked clean. But the floors are extremely sticky! Like disgustingly sticky. Ceiling tiles also look very dirty. There is ripped booths in the back. Menu was small enough but had a lot of choices depending on your dietary preferences / restrictions. Ordered the breakfast quesadilla. Order came out fast! Hot! Best breakfast quesadilla I have ever had in my life! Even asked if the tortilla were homemade. Waitress said no. Service was absolutely perfection! So happy we were recommended to come here! Will be back and start making our way through the menu! Regulars were addressed by their first names. Just pleased. (Does need a good cleaning though. But other then that, great place!)

The draft beer selection is great and they have a nice variety of wines and specialty cocktails. The service this time was unfortunately lacking, although the server was very pleasant and efficient as much as he could be. The problem is that he was the only one serving in a very crowded table area. I was going to give four stars for this review because of the service, but I know from past experience that this was not the norm.

The inside is simple, with cafeteria-style seating and a big, clean kitchen, but the warm welcome from the staff sets the tone right away. The menu is an all-day affair, loaded with breakfast, lunch, and dinner options. While the dining room was quiet during our visit, the constant stream of DoorDash drivers picking up orders made it clear this spot is a local favorite. They offer both bottled and fountain drinks, keeping things easy and classic. We kicked things off with the fried pickles. I'll admit, I am not usually a fan, but my dining partner insisted. At around $10, these were worth every penny. They were hand-battered, not frozen, and came out steaming hot with a side of ranch. The portion was huge, and to my surprise, they were excellent. If fried pickles are your thing, these are a must-try. For the main course, I nearly went with the fried flounder sandwich, but at the last second I joined my friend in ordering the Jersey Devil Cheeseburger. This beast of a burger was an 8-ounce spicy patty cooked to order and topped with Thousand Island, crispy bacon, lettuce, tomato, fried onions, and mushrooms on a Kaiser roll. At $11.99, it came with a pickle and a side dish, and I went with the slaw. It was fresh and tasty, though my friend thought it could use a little more vinegar. The burger itself was fresh, huge, and delivered on its promise of heat. It even came crowned with a whole roasted jalapeño pepper as garnish. For me, the cayenne packed a little too much punch without much flavor, and I think smoked jalapeños might make an even better choice. Still, my friend loved it, and we both left full and satisfied. Molly's Kitchen is the kind of place you want to have in your back pocket. It's simple, friendly, and serving up hearty food that feels made with care. If you're in the Northfield area and looking for a great bite, don't pass this place by. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm nearby.
