Molly’s Tavern
Molly’s Tavern & Restaurant in New Boston, NH is far more than your average neighborhood spot. Locally owned, it’s about crafting a warm, genuine gathering place for the community.
Molly’s occupies a site that long belonged to what was once known as Neville’s Mill that produced axes and sharpening tools. Over time, the mill’s original operations ceased, but the location retained echoes of its past. The restaurant’s water gardens use parts of the old mill’s sluiceways, and the green lawn and brook visible from the deck are reminders of the site’s natural heritage.
The relaxed mix of dinner in the main dining room, casual woodsy vibes in the Tavern, a spacious outdoor deck, live music on weekends, and a sense that whenever you step through the doors, you’re among friends means that Molly’s has something to satisfy everyone.
Our Favorites
Buffalo Mac & Cheese
Molly’s mac & cheese is already a comfort classic — cavatappi pasta coated in a creamy house cheese blend, topped with breadcrumbs and melting mozzarella. But when you add the buffalo chicken upgrade, the dish transforms into an experience.
The tangy heat of buffalo sauce cuts through the richness of cheese, giving each bite a delightful contrast. Chunks of tender chicken meld into the pasta, so you get both texture and flavor in every forkful. For fans of spicy comfort food, it’s a perfect balance: bold but not overwhelming, rich but not cloying.
If you’re visiting Molly’s on a night when you want something soothing with a twist, this Buffalo Mac & Cheese is a winner.
The Cannon Burger
Burgers are often judged by their “extras,” and the Cannon Burger at Molly’s doesn’t disappoint. This is no barebones patty — it’s an 8-ounce fresh burger (on a Kaiser roll) stacked with cheddar cheese, crisp bacon, onion rings, and finished with a chipotle aioli.
Imagine biting through a juicy beef patty into melty cheddar, then hitting the crunch of onion rings, the salty chew of bacon, and a smoky, spicy aioli that ties it all together. That interplay of textures is what makes this burger stand out. With a solid side (fries, chips, etc.), it’s a meal in one hand.
For burger lovers who want flair and flavor in every bite, the Cannon is a go-to.
BBQ Slow Cooked Ribs
If you’re looking to get your hands saucy, Molly’s BBQ Slow Cooked Ribs are where it’s at. Available as a half-rack or full rack, the ribs are served with classic sides of coleslaw and French fries.
These ribs are slow cooked, which means the meat has the time to break down, becoming tender and just shy of falling off the bone. The BBQ glaze brings a sweet, smoky layer that complements the natural richness of the pork. Pairing them with crisp coleslaw helps refresh the palate between bites, and the fries round out the comfort factor.
If you’re in the mood for a “stick-to-your-ribs” kind of meal, these ribs deliver.
