Was in the neighborhood for a 3day getaway from NYC and omg am I glad I tried Murphys. Food was AMAZING! We had the 2 specials... a beef soup and creamy pasta and both were seriously to die for. We were shocked at how good the food was. Highly highly recommend. And of course service was amazing too!!! Will def be going back!! read more

Absolutely perfect place to go to if you'd like to wait an hour and a half for a cold stale appetizer in dead silence hearing the members of your party breathe - as you have to pay to listen to music. Really enjoyed the coked up elderly waitress/bartender/cook running past us as it provided some type of cooling fan in the vicinity. Table next to us may have had it even worse. I'm deeply shocked at the amount of positive reviews of this place. Finally received my burger and found it to be a nicely charred ROCK. I'm sure the starving would like this place. read more

Found this place while in the area working. Ordered the lemon chicken that was wonderful. My friend ordered a large meal that basically consisted of an entire thanksgiving meal. He said it was the best meal we had found in the Poconos so far. Not only was the food great, but the atmosphere was even better. The bartender was great to talk to, I got to try a few local shandy beers that were on tap, and walked away full. I definitely wanted to stop by to try out more of the menu, but only did not have time to do so (otherwise I planned to just eat my way down the menu). read more

Picked this place as a midway point for a friend of ours to meet us today. We haven't visited in over 1 year. Loved the decor and especially loved our waitress Brittany. All 3 of us started with a cup of their homemade clam chowder. Delicious! Then my husband had the french onion burger w/fries, I had a Reuben sandwich with chips and your friends had the sesame chicken salad. All 3 of us raved about your meals. This was in accidental find that we are sure glad to have found! read more

Went for prime rib. Husband got clams as an appetizer sooo small not even as big as your pinky fingernail. Prime rib came out... disgusting!! No meat.. All fat! Spent money on food that was terrible! How can you serve this piece of crap for $30.00? Do not recommend!!! read more

Miserable hostess who will not cater to anyones needs She told our guests she couldnt sit outside and eat due to her bringing her dog because it was against the law. We called prior to see if there was space for ten and when we got there she was very rude wouldnt hear us out even though we called We settled on sitting at the bar despite her disgusting attitude and rolling eyes We all felt weird I would give the bar tender there five thousands stars He was attentive very funny and always was so nice to us despite everything that happened. Wont be going again because of her and I advise anyone who does to leave him a very generous tip and write their review on how she treated you. read more

Terrific food and wonderful outdoor dining. Waitstaff is friendly and knowledgeable. Amazing outdoor bar scene; friendly patrons. We had a great experience! Will definitely go back! read more

Where do I start....Stay home...Thats where I would start...im just gonna say things that happened in bullet point .served us mozzarella sticks that rolled on a dirty serving tray, waitress stated let me go cook new ones, she just took the ones and put them on a new plate and brought them back out .never got two of our drinks we ordered .steaks ordered med came out burnt/well done .food was cold .fish was frozen .Reuben.was soggy .I had to go to the bar twice to get our own refills That's just some of the issues. I love to try new restaurants while traveling rather than chain restaurants Never again. I will not be returning. read more

We used to come here because the service and food were good...not any more. I tried to overlook a lot of flaws because of the current situation, but they weren't even busy while we were there. To start, the waitress spilled my drink and never cleaned it up, even asked multiple waitresses for napkins so I could only for them to ignore me. Then when the food came out after a long wait, it was cold and old. The bread for the sandwiches were stale and hard as a rock, fries were cold and limp, and salad was wilted and brown. To top it all off, I had to ask for another drink rather than be asked even though the wait staff passed the table several times and not once did anyone check on us. I will never come here again and advise no one waste their hard earned money, especially during these difficult times. You can get a better meal at Wawa down the street and it will actually be good. read more

Great food. Great prices. Staff was very friendly and attentive. Charming atmosphere. The clam chowder was full of clams and delicious. Best I've ever had. read more

Absolutely, especially for breakfast! The pancakes are outstanding and the breakfast platter is out of this world.

Slow service but food was decent. Probably won't go back. Definitely wasn't happy leaving

Well I went back again for Monday night 50cent chicken wings pick your own toppings... I had 4 of 10 outside hot and mild...had the honey & bacon, ,sriracha, ranch & chipotle, and Thai chili must say Thai chili and honey and bacon were tied for the best. The loaded fries with cheddar cheese and bacon were something to fight over. Their staff is very friendly and makes you feel at home. What a great place !!! read more

This is one of those restaurants that has been here forever. I remember coming here as a kid with my family, and on a recent trip to the area, figured it was time to stop by and see if it had changed. Best it can tell, the only thing that's really changed in the past 20 years is that you can actually breathe in there now - it's no longer polluted with cigarette smoke (though both when I entered and exited, there were a number of smokers standing right in front of the main entrance. Although I guess they're going for the Irish pub vibe, I didn't see too much on the menu that was Irish-inspired. I did get a killer chicken cheesesteak which i would come back for - and there were a few interesting beers that I hadn't had before. Prices were a bit on the high side for the area, but this is a solid choice if you're looking to grab dinner. read more

Ordered takeout - thanks for your help, Tammy! Meal was great. Salad veggies were fresh, grilled salmon was crispy and cooked perfectly. Rice pilaf and Brussels tasted like they were from a bag but not terrible! My daughter had the kids grilled cheese and fries. Overall good bar food! read more

Charming ambiance? Sure. The food and the service SUCKED. If you have 2 hours to waste and want to eat a soggy, cold, flavorless meal- this is your place! read more

I saw Murphy's Loft on the list of restaurants within our area, and it looked like the perfect place to grab a beer and some bar food after our time on the slopes. It did not disappoint! It had a hole-in-the-wall, divey feel complete with vintage ski equipment, slot machines, and The Godfather playing on the big screen at the bar. We were met by a friendly, spunky bartender named Sydney. I hate making my own food decisions so I went with her suggestion of the chicken Cheesesteak and waffle fries! They were both top notch. Would absolutely order again. She also finagled me an espresso martini with some random stuff behind the bar and it was delicious. The good food and drinks were accompanied by movie commentary from the bartenders and banter from the regulars. It felt like home even though I've never even been to the town before. Can't wait to go back one day. read more

We haven't been here for dinner in quite a few years but we went for breakfast about a month ago and it was pretty good.

Stopped in on the way to NJ. Cool little place. Had their Reuben burger. Highly enjoyed. Service was great.

Great food, great service! Last night was only our second time here ever (we're from out of the area), and we will definitely keep coming back when we can. Appetizer was garlic cauliflower wings (excellent); I got a tremendous serving of turkey with mashed potatoes & stuffing (the stuffing was layered within the turkey slices), accompanied by at least a half can of jellied cranberry sauce (the dinner also came with soup). My wife got prime rib, which was deliciously peppery. Dessert was delicious turtle cheesecake. Perhaps best of all was the service by waitress Donna - attentive, warm, friendly, offering suggestions. My wife and I agreed that she was one of the best servers we've ever had (I'm in my 60s). Rustic roadside bar vibe - the structure is a log cabin. Do not miss out on this experience if you're in this area of the Poconos! read more

Food here is amazing! And the lady who waited on us was so nice! Got the roast beef provolone off the charts and my friends got the shrimp basket and honey chicken ! Five star will come again! read more

Was excited to check this place out. Looks super cute from the outside but once you enter your yelled at by the bartender "someone will seat you in a minute" no warm welcome here. Fifteen minutes later after asking to place an order....The salmon was dry & horrible, oily rice pilaf & a topper full of rolling eye attitude from bartender when asked to split a check. Maybe better service at a table, but def don't sit at the bar & expect any sort of Pocono good feels. read more

So far so good, no complaints! We were sat quickly, drinks were brought out fast granted it is a Sunday at 12:55 PM but as I said so far so good The boneless chicken wings were delicious, the perfect amount of crispyness. Quality boneless chicken wings, that is all! The prices were a little up there for the food. I feel it was an average experience, nothing over the top that caught my attention! read more

Came here last weekend with my girl on a snowy night Ask the waiter how was the chicken parm he answer the best thing in the menu. Also asked how was the stuffed pork chop he answers the second best dish. Well have to say they both was disappointing the pork chop was not really a pork chop it was a thick piece of ham wrapped on stove top stuffing. The chicken parm had thick ass breading. Also can sauce very disappointed. The people where nice. Place looks a bit old. read more

Good is mediocre. I ordered chicken parmigiana and got an inch thick un-pounded breast with mozzarella on top and tomato sauce out of a can. Atrocious. Service equally lousy. Ordered hot wings that came without side plates. No dirty plates were removed from the table till the bill was paid. Live I said mediocre in every way. Try some other place! read more

I think the place is great. I've been here a couple of times and I stick with more basic food but it's very good. The place is nice but not fancy. You can be very comfortable here. I had the French Onion soup and the French Onion Burger, both were very good. You can tell they use fresh meat not frozen. Everything was cooked to order and the waitress's are alway very nice. If you want a nice meal for a fair price check it out. read more

Interesting Bar/Tavern Restaurant. Historic building and decor catch your attention first. Hostess was very welcoming. We sat on the enclosed porch with nice weather to enhance our late lunch. Continue thru the porch area to find an open patio and a bar and a pool, surprise. You can swim if you are eating/drinking or pay $5. Our waitress was experienced and provided excellent service. The seasonal tater tots, burger and fish & chips were all excellent, we will definitely return. read more

This was the worst service we ever had. We seated ourselves & had to look for server. They were confused as to who was our going to be our server and took a while to bring us menus & drinks...The waitress came & went & she disappeared. Like she went to the bar. They forgot our appetizer so we were starving by the time the food came. The food is alright & Yes the place is good for kids but they certainly can't wait for food which was nominal at best. Service is terrible, Will never go back! read more

No good! This place is hit or miss, they definitely missed me and my friend leaving after waiting an hour or more for our food. Too bad because there are not to many places to go out in the Boondocks. This place reminds me of the song hotel California go and sit in there for a little while and you'll feel like you can never leave. Because you don't get to eat ha ha ha ha ha. read more

This place is great ! I like sitting outside by the pool and ordering great food and drinks and you can swim And use the pool ! Also the rooms are nice and right next door so you can walk without even getting in the car and it's right next to the highway and feels safe. It's not far from penns peak and the Pocono raceway and lake harmony. And great hiking spots like hawk falls are already to find and beautiful with lots of families on the trail last time. The waitress and everyone where super nice ! I really like this place ! read more

Haven't been here in over 29 years, stopped in last night, Saturday March 9th, with my son and my wife, and wasn't disappointed. Everything was exactly how I remembered it. It was nice to walk through the bar area and not have to smell smoke anymore, the food is on point, and the customer service couldn't have been better, great spot to take the family for a reasonably priced diner. read more

Horrible service been waiting for over an hour for service. I'm seriously thinking of getting up and leaving. Too bad I'm hungry

So, long story short! This place is a must stop in and have dinner. We had dinner her about 24 years ago. The food was good. Today we stopped in after a day at the outlets for dinner and we were not disappointed. It is a bit confusing when you walk in. There is a bar when you first enter with a restaurant area to the right. There is an enclosed porch area that leads to outdoor seating and a pool area. We sat at the outdoor bar. Our bartender was Tammy. She was awesome. Lots of locals come in for the daily specials. I was told you need to come in early. I had the French Onion Soup and French Onion Burger. The soup had a hearty broth filled with onions and topped with lots of cheese. The burger was like continuing the soup. I am a huge fan. The husband had the Shrimp Scampi. The shrimp were well seasoned, but the sauce needed a little bit something more. We will definitely be making this a regular stop when we are in the mountains. read more

Was here for dinner today. Had the Chicken Piccata and my husband had the chicken parmigiana. Both are always our favorites. Had the potato kegs as an app and there were great!!! It's a great family restaurant and we come here often. Our server Sydney is awesome! She is very attentive, always asking if we needed anything and giving her recommendations on what we asked her. Sydney is always friendly and always has a smile on her face. We request her whenever she is working. If you want a wonderful dinner with friendly service, come to Murphy's and ask for her! They definitely make you feel like family read more
