    Fluffy light French toast
    Trina B.

    I had a pleasant and delicious brunch last Sunday while in the area. It's been a few years since I have made it to this side of town. It was so worth it. One of the best breakfast/ brunch spots located in Historical Highlands off Virginia Avenue full of delicious brunch options , wine bar and homemade dessert which I was too full to try. The service was great, I do recommend making a reservation as it a busy spot but our wait was minimal with a reservation. The hostess and server staff did a great job super friendly. I had the French toast with whiskey maple syrup , so awesome! I opted for a honeysuckle 75 as my beverage so light and refreshing not too strong but just right. I loved the bread/ muffin service which featured muffins and biscuit with a honey butter and preserves. Lots of great seating , feels like you're in a Cozy quaint kitchen at grandmas. Outdoor covered seating and main area is great for groups as well. Loved it!

    This place was outstanding and checks all the boxes. My server, Chris, was excellent. Everything I ordered was fantastic as well, including the French toast, which is available in a half order. All of the staff I interacted with was friendly and I would 100% recommend.

    A classic brunch that doesn't let you down is C always good in my book. I came to brunch with friends on a lazy Sunday & Murphy's was exactly what we needed. The food was really good; I got French toast. The only note was our service could've been a little better, but we were also a group of 10, so things happen. I'll be back!

    4/5 Customer service, our server was welcoming and professional 4/5 Ambiance - Clean, seating was okay, felt a bit cramped at times. Walking space between tables is tight. 3/5 Food was decent. I had a waffle with chicken sausage. It wasn't terrible ( it was brunch ) and the breakfast waffle and chicken sausage was standard with fruit for a little razzle dazzle. Nothing exceptionally stood out except for the cocktails, I enjoyed my drink.

    4.5 stars to be exact. There are not many casual-fine dining American restaurants near Midtown Atlanta, and I am glad to find this one. It is located on the center of Virginia Highland. Only about 1mi from Eastside Beltline. Have it a try recently. The restaurant had many seats, a huge patio and a separate room for bar seatings. So it was not difficult to reserve a table. The inside was bright and the vibe was good for a family-style meal. For food, I got the Grilled Artichokes, Carolina Trout, and side of bread. I only had artichokes with pizza and artichoke dips before. The grilled ones were quite different: they were large, and the leaves were so chewy that I could not eat it. Later my server taught me how to eat it: I should only eat the bottom of it and the meat on the leaves. These parts were mashy, a litttle juicy, and a bit sweet -- somewhat like Chinese white carrots. The Carolina Trout was good. In particular, the parsnip puree and grapes were creative. The thinly sliced almonds was nutty and crispy. All these went well with the two filet. The whole dish was savory, with a slight hint of sweetness. However, I wish there was browned butter so that the puree would not be completely soaked in it. Finally, their bread basket was tiny, one basket was only about 2.5oz. The restaurant also has an extensive lunch menu featuring many dishes on the dinner menu as well as many sandwiches. I am interested in e.g. brisket sandwich. Will give it a try next year:)

    First time having brunch here and I get why it's always packed on Sundays. Great home made Bloody Mary and a wonderful Brunch menu with tons of options.

    Came for brunch on a weekend. We were seated fairly quickly. I got the special, steak and eggs. We got for crispy calamari, egg slum, and I got a pumpkin spiced latte. The pumpkin spiced latte was okay, I did not really taste the pumpkin but the coffee was good. The steak was cooked pretty well! And I enjoyed the sauce with it. The egg slum was not my favorite to be honest. There were wayyy too many potatoes compared to sausage and bacon. It was like eating endless potatoes. The calamari was crispy and I really liked both the sauces that came with it. We were also given a basket of muffins and bread to enjoy! Both the bread and muffin were good. The service was friendly and attentive! Overall, I enjoyed brunch here and will be back.

    Cornbread muffins and biscuit with their butter and jam were delicious. Eggs slum mulligan was ok, one egg was overcooked. Flavor was ok. Crab cakes Benedict also was ok, kind of fishy and soft.

    Great food and great service. If the weather is nice, you have to sit outside. It's a great vibe.

    Espresso Martini

    We started with the complimentary biscuits and muffins. I tried and was impressed by both, and I liked that they were smaller in size so that I could save room for what was to come. The trio of jams and butter were delicious as well. For my entree, I ordered the French toast which was delicious. The bread had a slight crust, yet the bread was soft and fluffy enough to soak up the egg and whiskey syrup. I also loved the caramelized banana slice on the side. I rounded out my meal with an espresso martini, which offered a robust flavor profile thanks to the rich espresso and coffee liqueur. The service was great, and I loved the quaint decor. I will definitely be back to explore more of the menu.

    Went for my gal's birthday dinner. More than I usually spend but worth it. Classy, but casual ambiance in the dining room. Bar was huge with plenty of seating. Server did a great job taking care of us. Was attentive to anything we wanted not already on the table. Gal had the butternut squash flatbread as an appetizer and the pasta dish for her main meal. I had the kale salad with feta and raisins, Parmesan French fries, and Mac and cheese. The food was good. Would have given an extra star, but the dishes (salad/Mac and cheese) were a little too heavy on the sauces for my taste. The toll house pie is worth going just for dessert. Unique and not like anything I've ever had and I'm a cookie snob. Will definitely return for another meal, perhaps lunch.

    Buttermilk Pancakes

    I enjoyed my experience here especially the pancakes (7/10) and the Quiche Lorraine (8/10). The service could have been a bit better as it appeared our waitress was a bit disinterested but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt as it was pretty busy when we went. I would go back if I was in the area.

    Eggs Slum Mulligan
    Ashleigh P.

    I had high hopes for this place. Made reservations for weekend brunch. The restaurant was extremely busy which I took as a good sign. We ordered the Eggs Slum Mulligan and the Crab Cake Benedict. The crab cakes were very fishy and a big turn off for sure. The whites of the eggs were also not set, so it made for an even messier experience than expected. The slum mulligan was fine. I feel like I say this a lot, but really nothing spectacular to write about here. I wouldn't go out of my way to brunch here, but maybe I'll try lunch and/or dinner sometime.

    How is brunch?

    Really good. I've been going to brunch there for over 25 years. Enjoy.

    Is there a good space for parking?

    nope

    Does Murphy's still add a small charge for diners paying with a credit card?

    Don't know, haven't been back

    Does this establishment have an all-you-can-eat option?

    Nope

    What suggestions do y'all have for a vegetarian dinner?

    They actually have a fall vegetable plate. But you may be happy with any of their wonderful salads ( I have had the kale salad) and grilled artichokes. They do provide delightful bread there too

    What about dinner at Murphy's?

    I've only had their lunch once. I ordered the mixed greens and a brisket sandwich. It was recommended by our waitress. There's a brisket something on the dinner menu...which should be good. Let me know what you decide on and how you like it. :)

That said, the aesthetic feels less Buckingham Palace and more whimsical London antique shop -- charming & eclectic. I ordered the blueberry lavender matcha and a breakfast plate. The menu names were definitely on brand, but not quite catchy enough for me to remember them later. Both were solid, though, and hit the spot. Service was a highlight. The cashier really leaned into the accent and took the time to thoroughly explain the menu, which made the whole experience feel more immersive and welcoming. Parking was easy on an early weekday afternoon -- always a win. The space works well for small parties, but be prepared: tables are small and seating is close together. One tip: avoid sitting upstairs in Eden. It's noticeably warmer than the rest of the restaurant, and you'll likely leave smelling like breakfast. Overall, a fun, themed spot with great service. But I don't think I'll be back.

    Breakfast at Barney's was such a great experience! The food was delicious, and everything we…read moreordered was full of flavor. One thing I really loved was the photo booth outside in the parking garage--it was such a fun touch and made the visit even more memorable. The only downside was the parking. Unless you're lucky enough to find street parking, you'll have to park in the garage, which wasn't my favorite. Other than that, everything was great. The bartender was incredibly kind and patient, especially since I'm very picky about drinks. She helped me choose one that I ended up loving. The atmosphere inside was also really nice, with a fun and welcoming vibe. I'd definitely come back!

    SUPER unimpressed with my visit here…read more Based on the decor, especially the photo area in the parking deck and the fake flower arch outside, my first impression was that this was going to be a "TikTok trap": a restaurant focused more on aesthetics than food or service. Unfortunately, that impression ended up being accurate. It took forever for our food to come out. The parties around us were clearly frustrated as well. I watched one table become visibly irritated, while another guest stopped a server to ask if the food being carried out was theirs because they had apparently been waiting over an hour. As the wait dragged on, I started paying closer attention to the decor, which I personally found tacky and gimmicky, especially the fake greenery hanging across the ceiling. The fried green tomatoes and sweet heat wings were really good, and I started to rethink my initial assessment of the restaurant. Everything went downhill from there. My "Rich Boy" sandwich itself was good, but it came with completely unseasoned fries. When I mentioned that I was supposed to have the "Rolex" fries, the server told me the plain fries were what I got. After clarifying with another server, they brought out the actual "Rolex" fries, which appeared to just be fries with a little parmesan and parsley on top. Supposedly they were truffle fries, but there wasn't even a hint of truffle flavor. My partner ordered the veggie sausage, which was overcooked and dry. Their eggs came out over easy instead of over medium, and the "signature grits" were more like cream cheese with a little bit of grits mixed in. We were told more grits would be brought out, but they never came. Another person in my party ordered the Southern seafood pasta, which had literally one piece of spinach in it. When she asked about it, the server responded that there was "more spinach coming." At that point, it became clear that Barney's is selling the illusion of luxury in order to justify premium prices for subpar food and service. It really was a TikTok trap after all. To make matters worse, when the check came, we were charged an additional $1.50 for eggs that already came with the meal. The explanation was that the eggs "came from the shell." Others in my party were also charged extra for liquor on top of the listed menu price for their drinks. Overall, I absolutely did not enjoy my experience here, and I will not be returning. Oh, and that other party that was visibly irritated with the wait had to wait even longer because there was a hair in their food.
