Nice cozy eatery near the arrowhead community. Once we arrived( my wife, daughters and myself) we were immediately seated. The food was surprisingly good but the best experience was our server Kim. She was very helpful, kind, attentive, and friendly. Every item we order was something that she recommended and every item was great. She's definitely the main reason why we will be returning. If you are in the area stop by for the food and make sure to ask for Kim 😃.

The only good thing about this place was the friendly staff. Unfortunately the food wasn’t. When you bit into the empanadas alot of grease came out so be careful biting into it as you will definitely get it on your shirt like i did. They need to drain the grease before adding the filling into the dough like I do at home when I make them homemade.The flavor was actually good. The Shepard pie that my wife made was horrible. Looked like a river of oil was swimming on top of what I assume was mash potatoes cause it was all red and not white. It had no flavor whatsoever when I tasted it. She ate only half which she paid for it at night being nauseous from the grease. The Murph’s special burger I had was not good at all. I love wagyu beef and this didn’t taste like it. The disco fries had two drops of gravy on it which doesn’t explain why the fries were soggy. Ordered two alcoholic mix drinks that tasted weird sent it back they didn’t attempt to remake it or anything I still paid for them. My brothers ribeye had no flavors and wasn’t cooked to the temperature he wanted. He was scared of sending it back cause we all heard stories so he ate half and tossed the rest away. My teens couldn’t find the pull pork on their Mac and cheeses and for some reason the Mac and cheeses sauce was runny. It’s such a bummer cause the surrounding area is nice and was hoping for a great place to eat and drink. I gave them one star because they did have one thing that was actually delicious The bottle of Michelob Ultra I drank.

Food was good and portions were large. Only disappointment was the mac and cheese had very thin cheese sauce that sat at the bottom of the bowl. Salads did not come out before the meal, so they boxed them up to take home. Do not sit outside unless you want to be bitten by flies. Staff couldn't do anything about them. Place was nothing spectacular. Probably wouldn't go back.

We went to dinner and my Beau had the prime rib special. It was a healthy serving and came with asparagus and potatoes. I had a turkey wrap and potato salad, also delish and fresh! Our server Kym was the best and had us belly laughing. I would recommend Murph's for a fun time and atmosphere! We are at a high top in the bar area.

This experience was horrible and only keeps getting worse. We had a large party and at the beginning of the meal informed our server of who was on which bill. Out of the 13 people there were 4 of us who ordered shepherds pie considering this is considered an “Irish” restaurant. The appetizers were good and the drink special for happy hour was also good. Once we received entrees one person in our party quickly found plastic in their shepherds pie, it wasn’t long after that the rest of the other 3 people who also got shepherds pie all had found plastic as well. We were told that we could have beef stew instead. Another member in our party was drinking beer out of a chipped glass and had to ask for a replacement.

Once the bills were passed out we found out the bill was in fact not only split as we were told it would be but the meals that should have been comped weren’t even comped and we were paying for their mistake.

When the beef stew was told to be the replacement no one in the party was informed of a price difference, as well as we weren’t told we had any other option, I don’t eat beef stew and didn’t eat mine either due to the trust lost in my first meal having plastic.

To make the experience worse the manager was beyond rude, and condescending, after having an attitude she tried to offer us a gift card to come back and try more food. After explaining that we would not be returning due to the bad experience she snatched the gift card right back and proceeded to stomp away.

After leaving an honest review the “owner” responded that apparently 4 out of our party of 13 people brought their own plastic to put in their food to try and get a free meal. What they failed to mention is any one in our party that DIDNT have plastic in their food paid their bill with no issue. In fact we did what we could to help the server divide the bills for over an hour!

Overall this was a horrible experience, between the food being bad, the management and “owner” are a complete disgrace. If you can avoid this place do it your stomach will thank you and you won’t be accused of being a problem when their food just sucks. The department of health should be paying this place a visit.

We stopped at Murphy during our vacation time and was so glad we did! Kym was our waitress and she was absolutely phenomenal!! The food was very good decently priced and big portion sizes. Kym explained the menu to us and all the specials and even offered to get the cornhole boards out for our kids to enjoy (us adults too if we chose to)

It doesn’t get more “dog-unfriendly” than this place. We were driving past looking for a place to eat and noticed the deck behind the restaurant. We parked and headed in where we asked whether we could bring the dog out in the deck. The answer was no, so the family proceeded in and into the deck while I stayed outside with my toy poodle. We walked around the property to the back planning to stay on the massive lawn while the family ate on the deck. This is when the manager returned and informed me that the dog was not permitted ANYWHERE ON THE PROPERTY, including the lawn or parking lot. That sounded absolutely insane given the abundance of wildlife in this area. So, we picked up and left proceeding further down the road to a similar establishment. This pizzeria also had an Outdoor area w tables and our dog was welcome. We proceeded to call several other places just to ask regarding their pet rules and, while some did not allow pets on their decks (understandable to a degree), keeping them off the property altogether was a completely foreign concept to all. Moral of the story- if you have a pet and want to grab a bite, keep driving! Murphy’s is not for you!

RESPONSE TO THE REPLY BELOW:

So your customers often venture into the woods off your closed-off patio the only exit from which is through the restaurant? And I am assuming the deer, rabbits and squirrels are aware they aren’t allowed to “go” anywhere on your premises? Responsible dog owners actually clean up after their pets, unlike the wildlife around your establishment.

Let’s also stop with the lies that I brought the dog out over twice. I headed straight to the side by your deck upon our arrival and stayed there the entire time. Yes, there are signs and yes we were told service dogs only were allowed, but not until we sat down was it clarified that this included your entire property, which every business within miles of your establishment is in agreement is an absolutely ridiculous policy. While this is a policy you are within your rights to implement and enforce, I am within my rights to choose not to patronize your restaurant and also advise others with pets to do the same, especially while there are significantly more reasonable places within driving distance.

This place has good food. I had the perogies and the grilled veggie wrap. I have had better perogies before but these are definitely in my top 10. The veggie wrap was very good. I definitely would order it again. There was a live band when we were there. Did make conversation I bit difficult but it was manageable. The band was good.

We will definitely visit this place again.
