Playful breakfast spot with creative dishes & 80s/90s decor
"One of James Beard Award nominee Mason Hereford’s New Orleans–rooted stalls at the food hall, noted for slinging bacon, egg, and cheese biscuits in the morning before another of the chef’s concepts takes over later in the day." - Janna Karel
"A Magazine Street breakfast concept from Mason Hereford offering playful takes on morning classics, highlighted by items like a Grand Slam McMuffin stacked with sausage patties, American cheese, grilled onions, and house-made English muffins." - Janna Karel
"If Turkey and the Wolf is the successful sandwich firstborn, and Hungry Eyes is the drinks and snacks ‘80s wild child, Molly’s is the breakfast middle sibling of this restaurant group’s family. But make no mistake: this spot in the Garden District doesn’t play second fiddle to anybody when it comes to the morning meal. That’s because plates of country ham with hollow cheese puffs, fried chicken biscuits, and their take on a grand slam McMuffins studded with an American flag are so good. Plus, walking in feels like you set a time machine to 1991—there’s so much ‘80s and ‘90s ephemera scattered everywhere throughout the dining room. You’ll find a Nickelodeon “Guts” Aggro Crag trophy on the long shelf, a Michael Bolton READ poster from the American Library Association on the wall, and a life-size E.T. statue standing watch over the kitchen." - megan braden perry
"Turns out the follow-up to nationally buzzed-about Turkey and the Wolf is not to be missed, also — it offers a similarly unexpected approach but this time for breakfast. Dishes range from an on-brand Grand Slam McMuffin (pork patties, hashbrown, onions, American cheese), to less expected options, like the carrot yogurt, a light and refreshing bowl of yogurt, granola, fruit, carrot marmalade, herbs, and lemon zest. Both are customer favorites that have stayed on the menu, but expect swaps and specials here." - Beth D’Addono
"Part of Mason Hereford’s portfolio of restaurants; Mason Hereford was named a semifinalist in the Outstanding Restaurateur category that recognizes operators overseeing multiple successful establishments." - Clair Lorell
