Murphy's Hotel Restaurant - Cajun shrimp pasta - American Near Me - Murphys, California

This is the 3rd time that this restaurant takes our reservation over the phone, confirms it and then says there's nothing in their books when we arrive. We live 2 hours away and always look forward to eating here. There is zero accountability and don't expect a comparable solution because the best they do is offer you directions to local restaurants. It is almost comical at this point how reliable they are in messing up your reservation some how. I wish I could give 0 stars but i'm honest and I liked the food the one time I actually got a table years ago. Do not rely on their reservation system no matter how many confirmations you get and don't expect them to offer anything in return. People plan their stays in advance and are often traveling with kids or hectic schedules and it really sucks not to be able to count on planning ahead and being left pointed towards the street when everything else in the area is also pretty packed or booked up. read more

Solid food and service. Well trained staff. Old fashioned hotel dining experience. My husband had a salmon dish that was really good. We always worry about seafood in a small mountain town but they have fresh fish and do a good job cooking and seasoning. read more

I had the filet mignon. My husband had the braised spare ribs. The food was terrific. The portions were large. We needed 3 boxes including the bread pudding. I recommend stopping here. The service was great. We ate outside and it was lovely. read more

Terrible service. We were seated promptly on the patio, and then abandoned. We sat for 20 minutes, before we got up and left. No one even said, we'll be with you soon, just ignored. read more

It was nice to sit under a patio which even though was close to the sidewalk, had the privacy of a trellis of leaves around it. The waitresses were friendly as soon as we arrived and seated fast. It was around 11:00 am on a Friday but breakfast is served until 11:30am during the week. I had a craving for pancakes. The plate was nicely laid out with everything horizontally lined up. Portions were generous enough. My pancakes were more of a crepe texture than I expected. I wanted fluffy. They were good, but thin. My friend ordered the french toast which was two, really thick slices from a french loaf. She enjoyed the taste but also expected the bread to be the usual cut. Good coffee. Nice white tablecloths. The noise level was not bad but I hear the place gets loud and packed on the weekends. The service was great all the way through. read more

Such a cute hotel. The rooms are updated and super cute. only 4 stars because... your outdoor bar should have been open all day for this event. It was PACKED inside. The wait for a drink was about 15 minutes. I love the outside area on a beautiful day & watching all the fancy witches cruising around was so fun! read more

Unfriendly server and it took 45 minutes for our food to come out. When it did come out, unfortunately our meals did not come at the same time so our party of 5 ate in 3 separate shifts. Drinks were not refilled timely. All in all a very disappointing experience. We won't go back. read more

We all had the best bartender experience! This historic bar is the perfect setting for everyone to enjoy. Ken is a true mixologist! He knows how to mix drinks for every palate. The mai tais were better than we've had in Hawaii. The margaritas were custom made per our individual preferences. Thank you Ken for an enjoyable experience! read more

Some of the hotel staff just seemed like they didn't care! They had a party across form our room until 10:pm we were told that they would stop at 9pm. The service was just way below average! Then outside out window there were drunk people talking super loud till 2:00 am! Horrible sleep! Seems like the bar customers are what they care about not thier hotel guests! Now the restaurant was awesome! The food was good and the waiter was total opposite of hotel service! He was kind, professional and really services us well! read more

Delicious food and service! We had a wonderful experience. Great ambiance as well. We will definitely return.

I've eaten here many times and I've never been disappointed. The food is always super tasty and the staff has always been friendly. The inside is what appears to be original stone work. It's small but not cramped. There is also outdoor seating when it's sunny. The fish and chips is amazing. I can not recommend the stuffed mushrooms enough. Delicious. All the breakfast has been perfect. Do yourself a favor and give them a try. read more

Pretty good spot -- considering it was a pit stop in the middle of nowhere. I went with a delicious scrumptious salad and added shrimp. The girls went with steak and meat forward dishes which they mentioned they loved. Server was great! Attentive enthusiastic, patient, and suggestive. We ordered what I believe was to be their house pinot noir! Which i was surprisingly a fan of. read more

This place is definitely a 4.5 star place. We were on vacation with a total of 9 of us. We went in before they opened and was able to get us in at 5:15p as they wanted 15 minutes to set up our table. We sat outside on the patio. The mist system was on which was nice except my 87 year old mother was sitting directly underneath one and she didn't like it. We asked our server if he could turn off just that one, which he said yes. After taking our order I think he forgot about the mist system as he never came back. My husband had to go ask about turning it off again. Our server rushed over and apologized and had in his hand a tool to reach the shut off valve for that specific one. My mom was happy now. Our meals got to us within about 20-25 minutes. We were fine as we were enjoying our visit and the outdoors. Everything looked amazing. Everyone said their food was delicious. My mom and daughter split the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo as my mom doesn't eat a lot. The server delivered it already split and the portion size was still very good. My lunch ribs we amazing and the meat fell off the bones. The rib eye was huge. The special, which was the Meatloaf, was a generous portion. I can't remember the names of the other meals that were ordered but everyone ate it all up. I included pictures so you can look at the portion size and figure out the names of the items. We did ask for a to-go box but our server forgot as he was busy with other tables. My husband again got up and asked at the front for one. It got quite busy and our server was very young. Not sure how long he had been working there but considering it's outside, maybe one more server out there and the kitchen is inside, he did great! Definitely worth trying this place out. They even have a bar inside the hotel if you are waiting. Next time I would like to sit inside as it looks like the hotel has a lot of history and they kept that feel. Great job guys! read more

This restaurant is located inside the historic Murphy's Hotel. I decided to brunch before heading back down the mountain from this relaxing enclave of a town, and this is where I ended up. I ordered the smoked tri tip has with scrambled eggs, which was posted on a little chalkboard sign by the hostess stand. A scrumptious choice made in a snap as the tri tip hash had an enlightening smokey flavor and partnered perfectly with the scrambled eggs. The portion was generous and provided a hearty meal that held me over to dinner time. Some interesting facts about this restaurant Murphy's Historic Hotel was established in 1856 and considered one of the finest hotels outside of San Francisco. Many famous people stayed here such as Mark Twain, Susan B Anthony, Thomas J. Lipton, J.P. Morgan, Daniel Webster, and former U.S. president Ulysses S. Grant. read more

Good tasty fare. I had the portabello mushroom Wellington, which was delicious. My friend had three cheese ravioli and another prime rib that I looked very good indeed. Prices were fair. Service was eager and I had no complaint. read more

My husband and I stopped in unexpectedly for a nice steak dinner, and they were able to get us a table. Waiter was friendly and very familiar with the specials and menu. Good service. My husband ordered prime rib and I ordered rib eye. My husbands prime rib was a nice cut, but very unevenly cooked. At least one inch all the way around was brown and cooked medium in the middle. He ordered rare. Also, it was very fatty! My ribeye was cooked perfectly, but half of the steak was fat and very veiny. It was hard to cut and probably the worst rib eye I've ever had. We love coming here, but I think we'll stick to chicken and fish when we come back! read more

Old historic vibe. Very good restaurant everything we had was good. Staff was friendly and on top of their services. First night I had the fried chicken, the wife had a shrimp Alfredo. Everything was so good came back the next evening again, I ordered the fried chicken again and the wife ordered the ribeye. We have no complaints and definitely will be coming here again. Prices are good and food is great. read more

Kelly was an amazing server and the food was great. 10/10. I will definitely be back when I am on the area next.

I stayed at the hotel overnight and we had dinner at the hotel. Nice spot (the largest restaurant in the area). Friendly wait staff and solid food. I ordered the calamari as an appetizer, tasted great until I saw the shrimp! (I'm allergic to shrimp). This is the only reason I gave it 3 and not 4 stars. They kindly took it away and apologized and even comped a desert. I recommend this place just make sure you ask questions on the menu if you have any allergies or dietary needs. We'll be back for sure. read more

My favorite place to stay in Murphys! The staff is phenomenal. The hotel is within walking distance to Main Street. Yet it feels far enough away to be extremely peaceful. Highly recommended. read more

Food was decent, service not so much. Three of us ordered soup. Our main courses were delivered first. When we asked what happened, the waiter seemed surprised that we'd want our soup before our main. When we cancelled the soup he asked a couple of times if we were sure. In addition I asked for the wine list back so I could order wine. The waiter came around, asked if I'd decided. When I said yes to a glass with my main, he disappeared before I could tell him what I wanted. Finally got it after managing to cancel the soup. The dining room was really, really loud btw. We could hardly hear each other. read more

The food was absolutely delicious! The vibe inside the restaurant was phenomenal. Everyone was so nice and the restaurant was very clean. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you are ever in Murphy, California. read more

Torn on this review. I would have given 4 stars for the food, portion size and price. However this restaurant did not follow Covid protocols. Although, it was outdoor dining and tables were spread out, only half of the restaurant staff were wearing their masks. I was relieved our server had his mask on, but some of the other servers, host, and water refillers did not. That was unsettling. Every time they walked by, I put my mask back on. If you're paranoid or just vigilant, I would not recommend going here or take it to go, or ask for a server that has a mask on. read more

The hotel charged my credit card for a damaged bed spread that wasn't damaged by me. They took $300.00 off my credit card And when I called to dispute the charge they said there was NOTHING they would do. Also $300.00 dollars for a CHEAP bedspread is ridiculous! I'll never stay there again! I didn't know anything till I saw the charge untill it showed up on my credit card. I live in Texas and I guess this how they operate in California. Last time I vacation in scam California!!! read more

If you are a young girl you will get waited on, but if you are older 70, go somewhere else. You will be ignored!

We had breakfast there. It was a typical American fare. The service was friendly and the atmosphere was nice.

This is great food. Forget about the negative reviews. The food and the staff are awesome. I had the prime rib which honestly it's the best I have every had and I have been all over the world. The only negative it's that it was served with horse radish sauce instead if the real stuff, which they will being you if you ask. There is no reason why such a finely cooked piece of meat should be defiled by anytime less than the best. Our watier Kurt was spectacular and have is great advice in did and drink, it was an awesome experience and you should ask for him, or go somewhere else. read more

The food was delicious, however when I order a Caesar salad, I am used to anchovies coming with it. I asked if it came with anchovies, the waitress said yes and gave me four little anchovies and then charged me five dollars for the anchovies. Most restaurants serve anchovies with their Caesar salads. At that price I should have been given a jar of anchovies. read more

Had reservations for 6 people at 11:00 today. Got settled right away outside. Drink order were taking plus food order. Drinks came right away but after 1 1/2 hours still no food. There was another party of six that the same thing happened too. At this point we ask our server what the issue was and she said there was nothing she could do to push the kitchen and understood if we want to leave. At this point we plus the other party of six paid for our drinks and left. It didn't appear to be that busy since there were empty tables outside. This was on our list of things we wanted to do in Murphy but won't be on our list for next time. Also, won't be suggesting it to any other people. How a great bistro just down the street on the left side. Awesome service plus outstanding food...would give it one star. read more

On the 3rd of May 2025, I was staying at Murphy's Hotel. Went to the outside dining area. It was about 1245 pm. very crowded as there was a chili cook off event, along with a motorcycle riders event, and some kind of other events going on all at the same time. It was a great atmosphere and a good time. My wife and I and some friends sat at an open table. We ordered drinks from the bar and waited patiently to be served as we understood the place was overly crowded. Finally, a waitress showed up over an hour later to take our order. The waitress informed us with a very snobby, condescending attitude that " for your future reference, we are a wait to be seated establishment" there is no clearly marked wait to be seated signs or anything, indicating this. (so I would just like to say to this young lady, for her future reference, we will never be returning to this establishment to wait to be seated) We ordered a calamari appetizer. Almost 2 hours later. We received our order of about five pieces of calamari mixed with about 5 salad shrimp & one French fry with some cheese on it and a big bowl of sauce that was more than the portion of the appetizer for an outrageous cost of $19. We finally received the appetizer at about 250PM . We were told that the restaurant is closing at 3 o'clock. And did not have enough time to order our food. read more
