Cool spot in the heart of Murphys. Lots of indoor seating which is great because this place was packed on a Sunday afternoon. The vibes are fantastic with the little firewood related decor all over. I won't lie, however, the menu confuses me. Pizza, burgers and Mexican food? This place is for everyone I suppose. It's even for gluten-free folks because they have both gluten free buns and pizza dough! I decided to to go with the chicken and pesto pizza because GF dough is pretty rare. The dough was more cracker adjacent, but still tasty. And the pesto and cheeses definitely hit the spot. I'll be back in Murphys next year for a bachelorette party, so I certainly won't object should we decide to return here! read more

Service was good. Menu was varied. Food was average. Dinning room not the cleaneds. Bathrooms were so bad! Filthy.

Probably the worst pizza I've ever had at a restaurant. Super dry and tasted like a frozen pizza. Not even ranch could save it. Smash burger was alright. Didn't looked smashed. Patties looked preformed. Restaurant was relatively clean and cashier was friendly. read more

This is my quick, go to, restaurant in Murphys. I call and order ahead, especially if there is an event going on downtown. I feel it is reasonably priced. I know I personally wouldn't keep going to a restaurant for 15-20 years if I didn't like it and Firewood I do keep going back because it's great. My favorites are the fish tacos and the arugula/ prosciutto pizza. I've tried everything over the years and those are consistently delicious . The super nachos with carnitas are delicious too and great for sharing. My husband likes the burger and has been eating there since it's opening. It's not fancy but it's a good place to grab a bite then continue on your Murphys adventure. read more

I rode my motorcycle to Murphy's to test a new helmet and stopped at Firewood for lunch. I ordered the fish and chips as that's one of my favorite meals. They had three pieces of excellently fried fish and a very generous portion of fries. The service was great especially for a busy Saturday afternoon. I haven't been to Firewood in a while and I'm pleased that they are still in business and seem to be thriving. read more

Food was ok. Two of us had the tacos-pork and chicken, one had the burger and my daughter had the chicken strips. Service was pleasant enough but not rememberable. My biggest problem was the flys. Not sure if it's because we sat closer to the big roll up window which wax covered with flys. We were all wearing shorts and it was hard to relax with all the flys landing on our legs and our food. read more

Ordered the ham and pineapple pizza! Very cheesy and delicious! Would come back! The woman at the cashier was nice, pizza came out timely, chill ambiance, didn't eat there but took it to go , and sat at the nearby park to enjoy it! read more

We've been here probably 5-6x. We're from out of town, but this is our "Go-to spot" in Murphys. Family friendly and reasonable prices, among the plaes in the area. There's a lot of options. Pizza, burgers, burritos and tacos, as well as *more* kid firendly options such as chicken strips and fish & chips. My husband and I usually get burritos. They're very tasty. My kids got the fish and chips, chicken strips or pizza. Even when the line is long, they move through is pretty quickly. The location is nice too. Just on the main street. If there's not parking on that street. There's usually always parking across from the park near the perfroming arts theater. It's a short walk to the restaurant. read more

We toured all around Murphy's in the area and thought we would stop at firewood for a woodfired pizza. We ordered a margarita pizza, and take a seat near the opening in the sun. We were expecting an excellent woodfired pizza, but what we got was a pathetic, tomato sauce, and cheese pizza with some oregano sprinkled on it. I took it back to the counter and asked where the mozzarella cheese basil and tomatoes were. She said the green stuff is basil. She tried to insist that the minor sprinkling of green was basil, but it was really oregano. I picked a piece up smelled it definitely oregano. She turned around and walked away. That's pathetic. The pizza has so little sauce and cheese that you could literally see through it when I held up a slice This is one place I won't be eating at again! Update: after reading the response from the owner, he clearly does not know how a pizza margarita is made. It requires tomato sauce as a base, fresh tomatoes, slices of fresh mozzarella, and real basil, not oregano read more

Food was fantastic and came out pretty quick. Most of the employees were super helpful and fun. One wasn't as friendly as the others but still over all the experience and food was fantastic. Price on our pizza was a touch high but still over would come back again. read more

Next time we cruise here I'll add pictures. We stumbled on this place by accident. Having stopped in Murphy's we were looking at the menu posted outside and a lady passed us and said "best fish tacos". So we decided to try it. We weren't prepared to commit to the tacos and ordered two and a mushroom swiss burger(which came with fries) to split. The burger was very good... but the tacos were indeed amazing! We kinda wished we had ordered more tacos instead. Our second visit we replicated our order and it was just as good. We left thinking next time we'll pass on the burger and load up on tacos or try the fish and chips since we assume it's the same fish and we know the "chips" are good since they came with the burgers. We haven't ventured upstairs to check out the seating up there because we are enamored with fitting on the first floor near the big toll up door. It allows us to people watch, car and motorcycle watch, and relax. read more

Cool little joint. Pizza, burgers (with lots of fries), burritos, tacos, chicken and canned, bottled and draft beer. We tried the chicken pesto pizza, hamburger and fish tacos. The pizza was really good! They offer one size, which is a twelve inch with eight pieces. We were nervous about the fish tacos, but they were great! Loaded with fish, lettuce and cilantro! Salsa from The salsa bar was good too. Especially the green salsa and the chipotle one. The burgers come with lots of toppings, too, including thousand island dressing. It was pretty good, but just a burger. I would like to come back and try the burritos. If I do, I'll also order the pizza and tacos again for sure! read more

I was in Murphys for a girls' wine weekend and we started off with lunch at Firewood. Food is a must before you embark on a boozy adventure! I was trying to eat healthy so I got the salad and asked them to add shrimp (not listed as an option on the menu but I am bold like that). Unfortunately, I didn't realize the shrimp would be deep-fried. So much for my meager attempt at health! My salad was super plain and I definitely had burger envy. Get the burger. Trust me. The interior of Firewood is really cool and the employees were super friendly. Okay, enough about food...it's wine time! read more

Firewood - Salad with deep-fried shrimp - New American Near Me - Murphys, California

We will never eat here again. The staff is rude and the service is slow. I was told this place was dog friendly. Not at all. Find somewhere else to eat, there are a lot of options in Murphy's and if they don't want our business, we will find somebody that does. I hope this helps somebody don't waste your time. read more

We went here because the sushi spot down the road was randomly closed and yelp said it had vegan options. The vegan options are a pizza with no cheese or an impossible burger. Impossible burgers are gmo and therefore not vegan. We opted for the pizza. It has zero salt or seasoning. Tasted like wet paper. This happens often when places have no actual vegan option and just remove the meat or dairy from a dish. They don't bother to season or salt anything because they think the meat and cheese will hide the bland taste of the other ingredients. Also the lady who took our order was also the one who made our pizza which is never a good sign. She answered the phone while making the pizza and then went right back to making it. Seemed overworked and like she needed some help but was nice. The fries we got were actually super good but they also had no salt. 2 stars for the fries. The building the restaurant is in is super nice and misleading because you think the food will be better. The people working were nice. Major tip, blend some cashews with water and salt (lol) to make cashew cream and pour it on the pizza to replace dairy cheese. It tastes delicious and cooks up amazing. It's 2025 lots of people who aren't vegan don't eat dairy. read more

Overly priced and mediocre food. Staff seemed more interested in socializing amount themselves than serving their guests. However, being contacted by the owner shortly after my post is encouraging. I'll be back for another visit the next time I'm in town. read more

Do the fish tacos still contain fish? I know mine didn't that I ordered New Years Eve. Just battered crumbles with a heap of cabbage and mayo sauce. I ordered two, neither had any fish at all, just battered bites of fried grease and flour. The third taco I ordered was carnitas and honestly tasted like dog food, which I presume is low grade meat. The pizza was just eh, nothing special. I think you could get better at round table. The entire evening after eating this food I could feel it going through my bowels and it hurt so bad, very painful, im not sure it was food poisoning, but it sure felt aweful. Didn't realize I was paying $55 to be sick and in pain for two days. Very disappointed, don't embarrass yourself bringing friends here like I did. This is an issue with the quality of food, not service. read more

Fish tacos, fish bowl and the veggie burger are all good. Great service and a clean restaurant

Great pizza and good service . Artisan pizza , burgers and burritos how can you go wrong !

Stopped in for an afternoon bite. We tried the carnitas tacos, chicken strips, and a couple brews. We decided to sit outside at one of the sidewalk tables. There are also a few tables inside. Here, you order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Prices were average for a tourist town. There's a small salsa bar so you can load up with your favorite. Street parking can be iffy. It's best to just use one one the public lots and walk the streets. Nothing to rave or complain about with this place. read more

Food was good but the online menu prices were significantly lower than what we anticipated by walking in the restaurant to pay for our order. Food was good, but to charge for ranch and the upscale pricing from their website was ridiculous. I understand they are one of the only pizza places in town, but it's not that great! Girl behind the counter when we picked up had no clue about the menu the pricing or how to make change. Owner responded like someone who clearly doesnt care about its customers unless they give 4-5 stars. There are many other restaurants to visit while in town and suggest others take advantage of those other spots. read more

I had the burrito bowl with chicken. The dish was a wet mess and had no flavor. The chicken was shredded beyond belief and was in a big clump on one side of the bowl. Yuck, yuck, yuck. Completely tasteless. The person at the register was unfriendly and seemed annoyed to be there. I gave two stars (instead of 1) for the young Hispanic man who brought me salsa. Horrible indigestion followed. read more

Super good after a long day at the lake! Our family will keep this place in mind for future lake trips!

This was my first time here and I have to say I was very pleased with my visit. The menu was not as big as I had hoped, but there was still a good enough variety to order from. I ordered the margarita pizza. As a margarita pizza lover, I always prefer to have FRESH basil, FRESH tomatoes and mozzarella cheese on the pizza rather than basil seasoning and no tomatoes. The pizza here did not look please; however, it waS so good!! I was extremely shocked at the taste. I was eating it with their ranch and the combination was absolutely delicious! The food looks very good and the environment is family friendly. Will I be back? Yes. read more

The pizza is overpriced and underwhelming. The Margherita pizza was absolutely flavorless, the dough, the sauce, the cheese. No taste at all. The real insult was the dried basil flakes instead of fresh basil. The chicken strips were cut down the middle for a reason I couldn't figure out. Not a place I would ever return to. read more

Best pizza in murphys. I like all the burgers as well. Quick and reliable employees. Can get pretty busy but easy enough to take it to go for me. But it is nice when you get a table as the seating and space is pleasant enough. read more

HEARTBURN CITY!!! Food was terrible Service was poor gal behind register seemed to be distracted, perhaps she was in a trance thinking about getting her nails or eyelashes done, just seemed very removed and inattentive. Eaten here many times before but it's been some time, was always good with great atmosphere but it has fallen somewhere along the line. Would definitely recommend you explore other options to spend your time and money! read more

First time at this place. The fish tacos were kind of bland, maybe some sauce on top can make it taste better. Otherwise the burrito and fries tasted fresh and delicious. The beer on tap was also refreshing. read more

Good food, nice ambiance with indoor dining that opens up to the outside and service was good. Food came out fairly fast and tasted pretty good. A bit of a mistake on the food order with what was on the burgers and what wasn't but overall pretty good. Nice location on main St. in this little town called Murphy's. read more

To be fair, I do like the food here and it's fairly priced but over the years the restaurant has gotten more and more dirty and it's never really cleaned. It has a pretty foul smell at most of the tables and chairs and I feel pretty grossed out eating here. I've noticed unsafe food handling practices in the pizza area with handling brooms and cleaning and then taking the same barehands without washing them and putting them in buckets of mushrooms or cheese. I wish they would take a day and really clean the place including the glass garage door and all the tables, booths and chairs and floor. I've also spoken to some other folks that regularly go to firewood as well and everyone agrees the place is pretty dirty in general. read more

Very disappointed. We ordered burritos....should be simple right? Super burritos come with sour cream and guacamole for extra money. Ours had neither. Also no Salsa for the chips. Cashier/manager was rude and denied a partial refund unless we brought the food back. I expect more from you, are you cutting corners at Grounds too? Cookie read more

We were walking around Murphy's on a Monday and not a lot of restaurants were open. Luckily for us Firewood was. It's a strange mix of a menu. Pizza and tacos. We noticed a wood burning pizza oven and the decision was obvious. PIZZA. We chose two 12" (only size available), bbq chicken and prosciutto with arugula. We'd order the bbq chicken again, but pass on the second one. It was a bit tasteless except it was salty. Each of us ordered a side salad that was probably the freshest salad we've had in a restaurant in quite some time. read more

Food poisoning, stay away! This place is not worth it. As if the abhorrent, rude behavior from the staff wasn't enough ( I felt like I was at that restaurant Dicks), the family was all hunched over the toilet within hours. Horrible way to end vacation. Murphy's is adorable and this tourist trap keeps getting business cause people don't know better. Choose another place and we'll make them do better. read more

After coming here regularly for 10+ years (maybe more) it's time to give this place a review. Driving back down Hwy 4 from Bear Valley, we decided to stop for lunch, not knowing there was a huge Day of the Dead festival happening. The town was packed, but by some miracle we snagged a parking spot on Main St and the line at Firewood was not long at all. Firewood is an "order first" place, and their staff are a well-oiled machine. The trick is getting a table, but we lucked out here, too. Although their prices have gone up recently, they have not reduced the quantity or quality of the food. If anything, I think the wood-fired pizzas might be a little bigger and better. The crust is PERFECTION - just the right amount of chewiness in the dough. I've tried most everything else on the menu, too. Burgers are amazing, and their Mexican food is delicious. Great selection of draft beers. If you come when it's busy, don't expect to have a quiet conversation as the place can get very noisy. Not bad enough for me to take a way a star, though! Love this place!!!! read more

We walked straight to the counter to order and then seat yourself. Unfortunately there were no tables inside or outside so we had to wait. As soon as a table became available we had to go get someone to clean the table. She cleaned off the table but didnt clean the bench which was very dirty. I didnt have to wait too long before we received my salad. She gave me ranch instead of vinaigrette. When i asked for vinaigrette and instead they gave me malt vinegar and unfortunately i had already poured it all over my salad before I noticed. The pizza's were okay. Not delicious just okay. A little soggy. The pepperoni pizza didnt look like pepperoni. Its finely chopped pepperoni. Not that great. The arugula pizza was better. Id give this place a 3 out of 10. We wont be coming back. Go to grounds instead. read more
