Absolutely delicious! Popped in as we saw it from the road, and was pleasantly surprised how good it is. Corn bread was amazing, blooming union was delicious, as well as the meat. Would totally recommend, and will be returning.

I came here with a friend of mine, and we had an amazing experience! Gavin was our server and he I was one of the best servers I’ve ever had! Would happily go again! The food was fantastic.. I would recommend the deep fried pickles for sure. 10/10 would recommend going and seeing the lovely Gavin!

Just very disappointed with the three meals we did order. Was told the beans were not home made. Only had bbq sauce on one side of my tasteless ribs. The other person had the sampler plate and had no sauce at all on anything. No bbq or Smokey flavor. Will not be back.

Phenomenal service from enthusiastic and helpful staff, but the BBQ was bland. My brisket had no bark or sign of a smoke ring, just grey-brown from one exterior to the other. The trace spices I saw on the exterior made me assume it was cooked solely sous-vide and hadn’t even seen the inside of a smoker. Mac & cheese was bland and overcooked, needs some pepper or hot mustard in the sauce. Corn bread was quite pleasant and I’d be happy to have it again.

We stumbled upon this place and decided to have a late lunch. The place reminds me of some of the BBQ places I visited in Texas. The food was great large portions. We will be back next time we are in the area.

This was our first time trying this place and 100% we'll be back. The variety and quality of the smoked meats were excellent. Portions were also quite large. Highly recommended

First time trying this location. Service was very friendly but food was very slow being sent out from the kitchen. If you are expecting authentic BBQ this would not be the place to go. I ordered the sampler platter and it was NOT good. Ribs and brisket looked previously cooked and warmed up after. Membrane was left on the ribs and brisket looked like it was sliced in a deli. Cornbread was previously cooked and then run through a toaster drying it out and making it completely undesirable.The other parties that were with me got the fish and chips which were really good. Unfortunately, you don't go to a smokehouse for fish. So thankful the service was great or this rating would be 1 star.

Stopped in for a quick lunch, was not disappointed! The brisket sandwich was excellent, with crisp, flavourful coleslaw and melt in your mouth brisket. The horseradish mayo suggested by the server was perfect. The baked beans were delicious.

For my wife's birthday, I decided to take her to Lew Murphy's, it was our first time eating there and we did not know what to expect, I usually set my expectations low for first time restaurants because I have been to many that the experience has been mediocre or poor, not Lew Murphy's though, it was fantastic.My wife and I arrived soon after it opened at 11am and there were only 2 other customers there so it was very quiet, a nice pleasant atmosphere for my wife's birthday meal.We placed an order for the brisket nachos, the sample platter, and the fish and chips, everything was cooked properly and was very tasty, I have zero complaints about the food or overall experience, prices are high compared to a a few years ago but prices are high everywhere so I cannot knock Lew Murphy's for that, my only regret is that I cannot afford to eat there everyday but I will certainly be going back on my birthday in June.Lastly, I did not catch the waiters name but he was very professional, he was the kind of waiter that you wished that you could always have.Well done Lew Murphy's
