“We had such a wonderful experience at Joey’s Garlic! The food was absolutely delicious. We ordered the penne a la vodka, shrimp scampi, and fried calamari, and every dish was full of flavor. The portions were huge—definitely family-style! Honestly, one plate would have been enough for both of us, and we still had plenty of leftovers to enjoy at home. The restaurant itself has a beautiful setting with an industrial hipster vibe, warm lighting, and a fun flare that makes the atmosphere really inviting. Service was excellent—our server was both fast and friendly, which made the evening even better. For the quality and size of the portions, the pricing was amazing and very affordable. We truly felt like we got more than our money’s worth. We’re already looking forward to coming back and trying more of the menu next time!“

“We just had our class reunion at Murphy's. The experience could not have been ANY better! Jack and Charles were incredible, attending to our group and helping us to have an experience that EVERY person raved about. The food was delicious, the venue was beautiful and the service was top notch! I wish that I knew the names of both servers. They were both excellent, cheerful and worked so hard. Bella was incredible. She made sure that no glass was empty and that each person had exactly what they needed. The other server was also extremely atrentive to our guests. Charles went above and beyond helping us to get a slideshow up on the big screen and Jack had great suggestions that made our reunion a HUGE success. My hat is off to the entire staff. This reunion was amazing and you helped to make many happy memories. We are so grateful!

If you want an excellent experience with amazing staff in a beautiful place with awesome musc, book your next event at Murphy's. You will be so glad that you did!“

“Food is great, atmosphere is nice, service sometimes spotty, but Brandon is the man who makes up for it! To be transparent, I had been waiting around about 30 minutes past when my food was supposed to be ready to get my order, but Brandon was the only person on the staff who had checked in with me and apologized for the mistake, WHILE he was already busy working on his own things. I wasn’t even trying to bust chops, but I was told another 8 minutes and it became another 20 for the pizza, and then my pasta was forgotten when the other staff initially handed me my order. Brandon held it down and was able to get complimentary carrot cake for my girlfriend because of the long wait, which I appreciated. Check in with Brandon, he’s great along with his service, and so is the food.“
