Molly & OJ's Restaurant is a hidden gem nestled in the picturesque town of Erieau, Ontario. Located at 875 Mariners Rd, this charming eatery is known for its cozy atmosphere, attentive service, and, most importantly, its delectable cuisine. The standout dishes include the remarkable liver and onions, which customers like Stephanie Chrisjohn say evoke sweet memories and pair beautifully with their rich cheesecake. If seafood is more to your taste, the popular seafood platter, as noted by Jake F, offers a delightful sampling of oceanic flavors.

The restaurant also prides itself on its inviting ambiance. Patrons often lounge on the lovely patio, enjoying people-watching while savoring dishes like halibut, praised by Chris K. as the best in Chatham-Kent. Despite a few mentions of longer wait times, the overall experience remains a favorite for both locals and travelers alike.

Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, like Stephanie did for her anniversary, or simply looking for a pleasant meal, Molly & OJ's ensures a memorable dining experience by the beach. For a hearty meal that brings home-cooked comfort into every bite, this restaurant is a must-visit.

The liver & onions was amazing! It brought back so many memories of my grandma's! The cheese cake was also so good! Our waitress was very friendly and helped us celebrate our 1 year anniversary

Been here several times and always enjoy the food. Usually go for the seafood platter and it’s a nice sample of everything. Others had various seafood meals and one even had the portobello burger which they loved. Very comfortable and quiet inside. Only thing I’ve noticed it is seems to take a little longer than most restaurants to get food to the table after ordering. I’ll definitely continue to visit here nonetheless!

This place is a great place to stop if you are driving around Lake Erie. The small town set on a peninsula is right on the beach. The food at the restaurant was excellent and presented nicely. The service was welcoming and attentive and we enjoyed sitting outside and people watching.

Delicious food, the appetizers from the Neptune, Calamari were delicious. To our mains being super yummy The escargot was okay and was overcooked and covered with way too much cheese. Aside from that food was on point. The prices were high, we paid 60 pp.

My fave restaurant in the area. I think they serve the best halibut in all of Chatham-Kent. Very nicely decorated and has nice patio seating in the summer time.

I've lived in the area forEVER and this was my first time ever out for supper to Molly & OJ's! The wait staff were super pleasant and attentive. The seafood is REAL seafood. Chunks of crab the size of my thumb. Absolutely delicious. Can't wait to come back!

Had an absolutely phenomenal dinner here while staying in the area last weekend. Everything we ate was cooked to perfection with an outright amazing balance to each dish. (Everything looked so amazing, that we just ordered everything!) We started with the escargot (which was excellent!), the bacon wrapped sea scallops (my gf orders them often, usually hit and miss for me, but I thoroughly enjoyed these ones), and the shrimp. My gf also ordered the Oysters Rockefeller which she said was great. For mains, we moved onto the Prime rib steak with a lobster tail and fries for myself, and the Striploin with baked potato and seafood garnish for my gf. We eat at quite a few places and this meal definetly stands out for us. Was a pleasant surprise.

Dined inside out of the heat, the service was friendly (all of the wait staff and the kitchen staff I met as well). We were in for a weeknight dinner which was exactly our speed as it wasn't very busy. I really liked the attention to detail of the meal, unlike Bayside you feel like you are getting a fully crafted dish prepared with care that isn't designed solely for instagram folks. The dinner specials were reasonably priced and they accommodated my friend's lactose intolerance well. I also appreciated not being pushed to order alcohol. Will definitely come again!
