    We were looking for something different so we found this in Herriman. It is a small strip mall place. The owner is very nice and friendly. I had the Philly melt and the wife had the regular cheese steak. The service was quick and the food was great. We want to try the tots next time. We will be back.

    Original Philly cheesesteak wit!

    Best cheesesteak I've had outside of Philly. The bread was amazing and they even use the correct terminology. Vast menu of options as well.

    Small Mushroom Cheesesteak with Sweet Potato Fries

    Delicious food and friendly customer service :) Fellow Elite Yelper Celeste T. and I had this on our list of places to try, so what better time to check it out! Love that there's lots of free parking. This eatery is super convenient for casual dining. They offer many tasty items and I ordered the Small Mushroom Cheesesteak with Sweet Potato Fries. Yum! The fresh bun was soft in the center and they grilled it perfectly for crunchy edges. The filling was quite generous of tender beef, peppers, and mushrooms. Such a magical combination of delicious flavors. The sweet potato fries were also cooked to perfection. I really enjoyed this cheesesteak sandwich and will return to try other menu items :)

    My friend and I were getting together to catch up before Thanksgiving, and we decided to go to Murphy's Café 126, located at 12575 S Rhetski Ln., Riverton, UT. I'm very glad we did. The café name notwithstanding, this is predominantly a Philadelphia style cheesesteak, and burger shop. The decor is a little cleaner and a bit nicer than some of the cheesesteak joints I've been to. Service was friendly and quick, with good recommendations provided. I enjoyed the blue cheese cheesesteak with a side of tater tots, and my friend ordered the cream cheese and jalapeño cheesesteak. The potatoes were crisp, even after they cooled. Both sandwiches were generously stuffed and very flavorful. We chatted for over two hours during dinner and the staff checked with us to see if we needed anything else, again, very helpful and friendly. I would give Murray's a very good rating and will definitely return at my next opportunity.

    If you want cheesesteaks or even garlic burgers, you must come here. We love Murphy's so much! Everyone is so inviting as soon as you walk in. They have TONS of options on their menu. The owner is hilarious and so sweet. He gave us 10% off because us and another couple helped determine the song that was playing for him. We've tried many things off the menu in the past and have never been disappointed. This visit, we got the mozzarella sticks, traditional cheesesteak, kids grilled cheese and the honey garlic burger. The traditional is your typical cheesesteak. Beef, cheese , bell pepper. It's one of the best we've ever had. Moving on to the honey garlic burger. HOLY COW. Just me writing this is making me drool. It was sooo good. Perfect flavor. The patty was seasoned very well. Even the texture of the patty was perfect. The fries are great as well. The kids grilled cheese was huge and filled with tons of cheese. My daughter loved it. I should also mention that they cook to order. We didn't have to wait long at all. Oh, and the fountain drinks were so crispy!! (The best!) The music they had on was soft rock and it totally fit the vibe. I would definitely recommend Murphys.

    One of the top 3 omelets I've ever had in my life!

    I came back for the crepes.... Umm, don't tell my mom, but these are better than hers! I would give the all berries Crepes a 10/10! I am in love with my new place for breakfast I the mornings on weekends. The staff is always so friendly and the food is amazing. I'm going to repeat what I said before, if you haven't tried this place, what are you waiting for? Friendly people, fun music, and some fantastic food!

    CREAM CHEESE
    Ryan F.

    I just tried Murphy's for the first time. They've got the best cheesesteak in Utah. I've been to Moochie's, DP, Gaetano's, The Philadelphian, Philadelphia Sub Shop, and Vito's. Murphy's is at the top. We ordered the jalapeño cheese with white American (thank you for having multiple cheese options!) and the cream cheese with no mushrooms. Both were fantastic. Usually in Utah I'm annoyed with the bread, or the meat, or the cheese, or something, but these were perfect. The regular fries and sweet potato fries were great as well. I loved the jalapeño fry sauce and the she's the boss sauce. My wife picked up the order and said the guy working was super nice. Well done Murphy's Cafe!

    Kids burgers tasted like microwave-able burgers. Philly was okay, I personally like Moochies better.

    Awesome food. The price is a bit more than you classic hamburger place, but well worth it. Does not sacrifice on quality even a little.

    Love this place! Yummy! Everything is delicious on the menu…read more Its a must try if your are in the Salt Lake area.

    Wish I had a picture to show you, but my jumped right in on the cheesesteak sandwich and my fingers…read morewere too messy to touch my phone. I'm in visiting from out of town and a friend mentioned two restaurants, one a pizza joint, the other a cheesesteak place...obviously I went with the cheesesteak place! I'm picky, especially when it comes to cheesesteak sandwiches...so I had elevated expectations with the place coming so highly recommended. Stepping inside, I was already pretty sure this was going to hit some high marks...it smelled good...it wasn't a "hole in the wall", but it had that vibe aside from being clean. Staff was nice, I explained I was a first timer and they walked me through the popular items, but I already knew I was going cheesesteak with everything on it. It was late and I didn't want to engorge myself so I went with the 6" instead of the 12" and got the fries with it. OK...they know what they're doing here...it came out wrapped in brown paper with sandwich paper (is there even such a thing...there is now) and it was steaming hot. I pulled back the paper exposing this beast of a sandwich...12" would have been too much (at least that's what she said. The cheese was melted throughout the steak...oh my God, this is the only way these should be made. The meat was lean, no grizzle or bad spots, they trim it perfectly for flavor and texture. Mushrooms, onions, peppers...and awesome bread, it was perfect and the first taste confirmed my beliefs! This IS the perfect cheesesteak sandwich and I'm not in Philly...how? One disappointment...the fries are coated...I'm not a fan of coated fries and almost never eat them. I usually ask, and pass if they are, but forgot to this time. I wasn't going to waste them...surprise, they were pretty damn good. I'll give them. 7.5 out of 10 and that's a solid score. So how do I score the Philly cheesesteak...9.9999 because does a true 10 exist outside of Bo Derek, well, maybe Phoebe Cates...Fast Times at Ridgemont High changed my life! So, don't kid yourself, you won't find a better cheesesteak...better get your butt over there and confirm what I already know! I will be back next time I'm in town! Sorry about not having the picture!
