murphy's

yummy!. ever since my first visit, i've been back at murphy's quite a few times! #1-their lunch service goes until 5pm before they start dinner! it's nice knowing i can get my chicken, spinach and bacon burger when i get off of work late or their other menu items. the dessert trio is a must get-the bonzo is insanely chocolatey but delicious, the panna cotta is light and creamy and the tollhouse pie is tasty, even with the addition of vanilla ice cream. also, if you take a look at the pics, the creme brulee comes with an adorable almond spoon :).

superb. i've been to murphy's four times now (each time for brunch). it is easily my favorite restaurant (at least for brunch) in atlanta.

food preparation - excellent, never under or over cooked
atmosphere - excellent, always bustling and lively
service - excellent, the waitstaff is always courteous, thoughtful and friendly (i took my family for my dad's birthday and our waiter told me he would surprise my dad with a birthday dessert before i could ask for it!)

i know i've written a review before, but my second visit was great as well and i want to write a review about it. i came in with a party of 20 for a rehearsal dinner in july 2012. the service was great and the food was consistently great. everyone loved their meal. the price at the end of dinner didn't give me a heart attack so i was double pleased. this place is highly recommended.

love this place. i had the red fish and it was absolutely wonderful.

tried and true. my husband and i have frequented murphy's over the past few years and have never been disappointed.

from the moment you walk in you get that homey feel with the perfect balance of elegance. the atmosphere perfectly compliments the delicious american/southern food. the servers are always impeccable, we've always been taken care of in a way that shows they value us as patrons.

some of our favorites are the guinness braised brisket for an entree, the truffle mac 'n cheese for a side, any of their soup du jour options, their wine list is amazing and we regularly try one of the highlighted wines (which typically are in the lighter red varieties - we love pinot noir so it works great for us!) and last but certainly not least... you've got to try the bonzo for dessert or the dessert trio (which comes with a smaller bonzo, tollhouse pie and their delicious vanilla bean panna cotta).

love this restaurant!

the food was simply impeccable. the burger was absolutely fantastic!

best brunch. headed back to murphy's for brunch again during summerfest. as always, murphy's has the best brunch in the city. the service is usually great, given the massive volume they have and the mimosas are poured big...just as they should be! : )
i had the slum mulligan and the potatoes were perfectly seasoned and the vegetables were al dente. also ordered a side of the chicken sausage. the table was blown away...who knew chicken sausage could be that flavorful...i did...that's why i ordered it! you have to give it a try. thanks for being the best murphy's!

my no. 1 brunch spot. hands down... love murphy's. they are my go to brunch spot. make sure to try to mimosa's with a shot of grand marnier... food excellent and service is always wonderful.

party of four, from louisiana, visiting atlanta and told to come by and enjoy some of atlanta's best... gotta be honest, the ribeye, brisket, lobster, and "meatless monday" entrees were all mediocre at very best. if i weren't being a polite guest in georgia i'd have some even more descriptive criticism of a restaurant that fails to live up to the hype and falls far short of the high prices they charge.

we had lunch and it was first class, the service and the food was great.

my wife and i went to murphy's for dinner last friday night and, as usual, it was excellent. the crispy pork shank was so good. always good service and great atmosphere.

december 30, 2011 until this evening's visit, i had only frequented murphy's in the virginia/highland area for sunday brunch. loved their basket of fresh muffins and biscuits that accompanied menu offerings - and their freshly brewed coffee. just looking for something light, we just shared a few thing starting with flash-fried tender sweet calamari ($11) . this wasn't served with the typical warm marinara sauce but with two sauces: a cocktail one usually accompanying other shellfish plus a weird sauce of apple cider vinegar, diced granny smith apples, garlic and crushed pink peppercorns. in addition, we split an entree portion of murphy's caesar salad with their crispy shaved onion rings and spicy croutons ($8); and murphy's perfectly cooked, medium-rare burger, topped with an avocado mayo, swiss cheese and smoked bacon that came with french fries ($12). no dessert for us, instead we just finished our bottle of terrazas argentinean malbec ($28). i'd recommend murphy's for sunday brunch

anyhow, murphy’s is definitely worth a second visit. the chilaquiles and the fried green tomato sandwich are next on my radar.

best brunch and mimosas!!!. murphy's has quite possibly the best brunch and mimosa i have had in atlanta(and i have had quite a few brunches...lol)...i'll pass on the french toast(it can be a little on the dry side), but everything else is on point!!!

the last time i went to murphy's, the food and service was horrible. before this experience i would go a least twice a month but now i will not walk in the restaurant

enjoyable lunch!. i had lunch at murphy's on a thursday. i had the brisket sandwich with the soup of the day. i thought the food was very tasty and the service to be very good. the prices were reasonable. there's no question i would return for another lunch!
