Molly Pitcher’s American Grill

ALocal Must-Try Local Favorite With a Historical Twist

With its cozy, wood interior and a tangible warmth that embraces you with positivity from the moment you step through the door, Molly Pitcher’s is our April destination-ofthe-month for couples looking for a night out together, knockyour-socks off eats, and cold beers that make the perfect finale after a long week of parenting.

Five years into its success as a beloved destination for locals, this family-owned restaurant is co-owned and operated by husband and wife restaurateurs, Chris and Suze Graham. The duo emphasizes that their goal has always been to create a place where locals can come, relax, and feel like they’re at home, a place where everyone is welcome to stop by and break bread together. Try their all-too-popular shrimp and grits, mouthwatering fried green tomatoes, and not-to-be-missed pulled pork sandwiches, or indulge in a Crabby Patty or Po Boy sandwich.

Historical Inspiration + a Modern-Day Message.

The restaurant gets its name from the legendary figure “Molly Pitcher” a folkloric, revolutionary war-era woman who is said to have spent time at the camp at Valley Forget in 1777, and after her husband’s fall in battle, took his place swabbing and loading cannons during the Battle of Monmouth.

Today, the name Molly Pitcher is regarded as a composite image inspired by the actions of many war-era women. It’s the local restaurant’s way of celebrating women’s bravery and perseverance in the face of opposition, and immeasurable contributions to the country we call home.

“We loved the idea of supporting women in business and in the founding of our nation,” says co-owner Suze Graham. With menu items named after groundbreaking women throughout our nation’s history (The Betsy Ross sandwich is a BLT with pecan pimiento cheese) the restaurant seeks to nourish diners with both unbelievably delicious food and a dash of inspiration.
