This place is awesome very clean with a welcoming staff.. they have a lot of cool nostalgic decorations like walking into a different era!
What an awesome place! Huggin’ Molly’s has such a great vibe—it’s like stepping back in time into an old soda shop. The classic soda bar and the Western Union station in the back were really cool touches, and the amount of antiques and memorabilia throughout the restaurant is second to none. Now the food… absolutely on point. We started with the fresh-cut onion rings, and they did not disappoint. Then we split the Rockhill Club Sandwich with fries—the sandwich was fantastic, and while the fries weren’t my personal favorite, that’s just me and nothing against them. For dessert, we split the Golly Molly, swapping the fudge for caramel, and wow… it was sooooo good. Oh and I cannot forget our excellent waitress. She kept us topped off and ready to go If you’re anywhere near Abbeville, this place is a must-visit.
We had a group of 21 Stilettos On Steel that came for a visit yesterday. I called ahead earlier in the week and when we arrived, they surprised us with having us set up in their private room. They heard us pull up and was waiting at the door with welcome arms and a beautifully set room. The service was impeccable and the food was amazing as always. Our server was delightful and handled 21 women without a glitch. We met the head chef when he came in and checked on us and what a wonderful surprise. Thank you for making our 299 mile round trip from Georgia just to visit you so special! We love HM and we love your town!
My husband and I have been eating here for many years, traveling thru Abbeville. We absolutely love this place. The burgers are made to order, my husband ordered the half pound burger, medium, with a fried egg and bacon. I had a "make your own pasta", with linguine with sun dried tomatoes, olive oil, and shrimp. But I have to focus on our appetizer which was the arancini with polmodoro sauce. I could have eaten it for an entree if it wasn't just two. 😂 But we honestly really enjoyed them. Our server was friendly as they come and asked the kitchen when she didn't have the answer. It is good to go back to a place you have gone to for years and the food is just as good. (I forgot the ice cream is a must try.)
A luxury type dining here in my opinion. Plus lots of sweet treats to choose from. Loved the vintage vibes the aesthetics gave.
This was such a nice surprise walking into this town. The neon lights everywhere, made it feel like you were stepping back in time. The hugging molly ghost tale just adds to the charm of it all. My daughter got the pesto pasta and fell in love. I had a classic cheese burger and you could tell the beef was fresh. My dad got the shrimp plate and the shrimp were perfectly grilled and more than enough to fill his belly. They welcomed my service animal without a question. Our servicer had the sweetest accent and was from the town. The owner of yellawood owns the town and is making it his own. He's doing an amazing job with the aesthetic of it.
Wonderful classic experience! Was able to walk around the restaurant while waiting for our meal to look at all the vintage art and objects! Wonderfully friendly staff that are attentive. Thanks again to Naomi for being amazing! Will be back!
Nostalgic restaurant. Great antique toys, posters, memorabilia. Soda fountain counter. Serves up milkshakes and malts. Daily soup and lunch specials. Appetizers. Soups. Sandwiches. Burgers. French fries. Onion rings. Desserts. Today the special was a fried pork chop with loaded mashed potatoes and green beans. The mashed potatoes were full of sour cream and butter. The candied pecan chicken salad was excellent. The fried onion rings were large and hand battered. Served with comeback sauce. So tasty. After you eat, you need to walk around the wonderful area that is like walking back into the 1950’s. So many great neon signs.
I had a burger it was delicious. Wife had the Chicken Salad and it was very good. We shared the blonde sister for dessert and omg it was so good!
A great place surrounded by a cute downtown area of Abbyville, AL. Atmosphere was 10/10 and the turkey Ruben was to die for! The story of Hugging Molly is so strange, I love it. If you're in the area, definitely give this place a shot.
