We came here while visiting Rapid City as their menu looked good! We thought about sitting outside as it was a lovely evening, but there were other people waiting for tables to be cleaned outside. We went inside and while there were tables available, many were still dirty and stayed that way during the duration of our meal. Not a great look for the restaurant. We started the fancy fried pickles and chislic. The fried pickles were different with the prosciutto and mozzarella cheese, but we still enjoyed them. The chislic was tough/chewy and not as good as Thirsty's next door. My husband and I split the buffalo meatloaf. The meatloaf was dry, but I enjoyed the overall flavor. Overall, I was not impressed with this restaurant and was disappointed with service and how the meals were cooked at Murphy's. We just had better food during our trip, so it's hard to recommend this one. read more

Really 4.5 but it's Yelp. Had the Irish Eggrolls-- Reuben filling in an egg roll, and the wings. Egg rolls nice and hot and crispy with tasty spicy mustard and sriracha mayo dips. Decent amount of filling. Main complaint is that it is billed w Reuben filling but very little corned beef -- a few diced pieces and some halves seemed to have none. For wings you get 8 traditional or 19 bonus per order. I got the traditional with watermelon jalapeño wet sauce. You get 8 nice plump drums and the sauce is sticky and sweet but not too sweet and spicy but not too spicy. Cant really detect a distinct watermelon flavor. Still good. read more

Great service at bar and table. The place was pretty much empty inside but the outside area was more crowded. Great outdoor area, large bar inside as well. Bison meatloaf was incredible. Steak was flavorful as well. Fish and chips were plentiful and very good with great texture. Drinks good as well. read more

Murphy's Pub & Grill - Steak, very good. - Gastropubs Near Me - Rapid City, South Dakota

Wonderful place! The three of us stopped in last Sunday to have lunch. For appetizers we tried the Chislic, our fist time trying this local dish and it was pretty yummy. Tender pieces of beef served with two different sauces. My wife ordered the steak salad which looked more like an entire meal in a plate than just a salad with steak on it. There were potato's and tomatoes and everything else on this delicious salad. The steak was juicy and tender. Our daughter had the delicious salmon salad and loved it! Nice fresh greens with a perfectly cooked piece of juicy salmon on top. I had the Caesar Sakad and it was very tasty! Fresh greens with a nice tangy Caesar dressing. So yummy! The service was wonderful always checking in on us. The ambiance is a restaurant rather than a pub. So nicely decorated and very spacious indoors. Great place to go to! read more

A group of us went here for dinner after our event in the area, and this was the best choice we made hands-down! The spot was further down Main Street, but it was worth a walk. Inside has a nice rustic pub feel. There were television screens around, but not too distracting if you are not interested in watching TV. My group ordered drinks and we all loved what we got. Everything that we had was delicious! I personally had the mango chicken, which was different but really good. The folks who got the hummus plate and the wings really enjoyed it and were full from those app items. The service was good overall, though our server was a little slow and getting us some of the items we needed. All in all I would recommend this place if you're in the area because it was a nice vibe and the food is really good. read more

Love Murphys! The best fried pickles in town! Atmosphere is Great and the service is phenomenal! read more

The food was excellent and so was the service. They're patio area is dog friendly and we really appreciate that.

Open faced buffalo meatloaf sandwich was okay. I get buffalo meat can be a little more dry but didn't have near as much bourbon ketchup on it. Serving size seemed small too compared to getting meatloaf at other places. Service was okay read more

Cons: It took an incredibly long time to get served. They were out of the first three beers I asked for. There was much confusion on our bill but some of that is because we moved from outside to in due to rain. An additional order of chips and salsa was initially on the bill. Pros: The waitress took off the added chips and the ones we ordered. I appreciated that. She was very nice and friendly. The food was very good. I like that soup was considered a regular side. read more

Good choice of drinks. Food was excellent! Stopped in this city to try Justin's ramen but they close from 2-4:30. We hit the city at 2:30. I was bummed so we came here instead. Great choice and would highly recommend. read more

Stopped in the other day while passing through and had the chicken strips with fries, which were amazing. I also tried the pineapple jalapeño mule based on our server's recommendation, and it was a great choice. I'd definitely come back next time I'm passing through or visiting! read more

Well, I didn't get to taste the food. But ambience is a standard pub. The service leave up to your judgment. I feel like when a server tells me the kitchen is open for one more minute. It's an obvious sign don't do business with my restaurant. Which is OK but maybe you should change your closing time to 930 instead of lying and saying you're open later serving food read more

I hadn't eaten all day and decided to try Murphy's out. My waitress was very nice and attentive. The niceness must be a South Dakota thing, because everywhere I went, everyone was so nice! I had a burger and fries (I think it was the Popper burger). It was good and hit the spot. read more

went to Murphy's for lunch yesterday with a friend of mine. the food and the service were ok but when I got the check, lunch was my treat, I noticed a $3 service charge to use my credit card, WTF!! this is insane, the small transaction fee the credit card company charges businesses is the cost of doing business. This is not something that should be passed on to the customers. I just want to give a big red flag warning to potential customers of Murphy's, if you pay with a credit card, be prepared to pay an additional fee. I will never go back to this place, what a rip off, I am a pissed of former customer with a very big mouth!! read more

Accommodated 10 of us, no problem whatsoever! Everything was great. The service, drinks and food was top notch!

In town on business, coworker and I thought we would try Murphy's, the atmosphere was fun and the outdoor patio was even more fun. Good food and a good beer.. exactly what I was after read more

Stopped in for happy hour. The drink menu had no prices, so we asked our waitress--clearly not her first day--who suddenly acted like she'd never seen the menu before. After some theatrical scrolling on her phone, she confidently told us the happy hour price for a glass of house wine (advertised as "half off") was $6. I asked, "So...the regular price is $12 a glass?" Cue an embarrassed recalibration. "Oh... I mean $3," she admitted. Isn't it charming when staff feign ignorance about prices? It felt like a deliberate attempt to upcharge tourists. We weren't impressed and made a graceful exit. read more

Our waitresses was a rockstar!! Right away she brought our dog water. She paced her visits to the table perfectly! She allowed us just the right amount of time to have our cocktail and appetizer before coming back to take our dinner order! She was so nice. She shared tidbits about the town and the tourist season. It was great to talk with her.! The food was so delicious ! The appetizer was a South Dakota standard... Chislic. My husband had the shepherds pie with Liam and I had the buffalo meatloaf sandwich. Both were so good.!!! Everything is fresh and made the order. No prepackaged or frozen food whatsoever. We sat out on the patio because we had our dog with us Ambience was so nice. The weather was perfect. There was a light breeze. The sun had gone over and so it wasn't too hot. Too bad we won't be back in Rapid City because this place was amazing and I would love to be there again sometime. read more

We've been here a couple times now. Food has been consistently good. Good sports bar atmosphere with lots of TV's. Service depends on who you get. But overall ok. Nice to have another option close to our house. read more

Ordered the fish and chips that was listed on the menu. Was told one side came with that and I ordered Cole slaw. When food was served there was only 3 pieces of fish and the coleslaw. I asked where the chips were and I was told that was considered a side. I said it wasn't listed that way on the menu. THe waitress said that is how it was. So I felt it was a scam. It was listed as fish and chips you should get both. I will not be going back to such a shady practice. read more

Great place to eat downtown Rapid City. I was surprised at the size of this location. With a large bar in the middle of the room surrounded by tables and booths, along with outdoor seating. The bar had a large selection of craft beers. There was an nice menu which made choosing difficult. We went with fish and chips and a grilled reuben. I would recommend both as they were very good. Our server was very attentive. Our food arrived in less than 15 minutes. read more

I love this place. Stumbled upon this bar after a local recommended that I visit for great service, fresh food, and a wide selection of beer -- all of which I easily found while seated at the bar alone. The bartenders are happy and don't hesitate offering several beers to try as you make your selection. Their menu is expensive and includes healthy options, including Portabella mushroom wrap and pig salads, coupled with different protein options. They have a number of beers on tap from local breweries and contain plenty of tables both inside and out with an external bar to improve your overall experience. I ordered the portobello vegetarian wrap with a side of sweet potato fries. The fries came with a house-made garlic butter dipping sauce that easily clogs the coronary arteries but still well worth it. The wrap was great but not A+ so this rating is more reflective of the overall experience as opposed to just the food. read more

Recommend for a great casual dinner with lots of great food & drink choices! Prices were fair, service was great, place was very big & lots of seating, (outdoor seating too I believe) & place was decently clean. Food came out quick, and was delicious! I didn't want protein, and ordered the Salmon salad without the salmon and it was great! My husband got the Brie burger, he wishes there was more Brie, and maybe melted Brie a little, and way more grilled onions, and add a aioli sauce or something on it. We got parking in the meters right out front! read more

We loved this place for the atmosphere and food. We stopped in one afternoon for drinks and returned that night for dinner. The staff was wonderful, the setting was relaxing, and the food was great. I had their burger with fries, and it was delicious! And a tall, cold mug of the lager they had on tap rounded out the excellent meal. We'll be back if we're ever in Rapid City again. read more

Just an ok experience. We got the beer cheese soup which was very good, but the cup as a side was very small. The adult grilled cheese we had high expectations, but it was very basic. We also got the Mac and cheese with pulled pork which was decent. The restaurant was empty and it was cold! read more

Burger was good. Wait to be seated, then food from kitchen was what they said, thirty-five min. Fifteen before a server came and asked if we were helped (not her table) kudos to her for being observant. The kitchen took 40 mins. Gracie B made it enjoyable. Otherwise it would be 2 stars. Hopefully the manager was HELPING IN the Kitchen. read more

I was looking up locally owned businesses to find a place to have dinner with relatives and Murphy's Pub and Grill was presented in my internet search. We had dinner there last evening and I was totally impressed. The business, on the corner of 9th and Main St in the heart of Rapid City, does not look as big from the outside as it really is. The rustic architecture and furnishings are almost eloquent. The high ceiling and open design is beautiful. We each ordered something different and everything was amazing. Bison Meatloaf, hand battered fish, chicken wings with a Caesar salad and prime rib sandwich each were just excellent. Pricing is in line with entrees elsewhere but the quantity of foot and its presentation was perfect. We had a great evening, we will be back and I applaud this locally owned business for helping make Rapid City complete in its options for dining. read more

Went her based on a lot of recommendations from Yelp. First off the server was really great. She was so friendly and helpful which is why I am leaving two stars. I was torn between the Buffalo meatloaf and the fish and chips. I ended up with the fish and chips and honestly it was horrible and I feel bad leaving this review. The fish had no flavor or seasoning on it whatsoever and it was almost as if the fish was over fried if that's even a word. Major disappointment. Perhaps it was just a bad day. read more

The service here was impeccable. We came in for a quick lunch and they were quick to serve us. They were both kind and efficient. I got the Reuben and I loved it! The fries I had were good but the potato salad was even better. It had a really fresh bacon flavor that made it unique and absolutely delicious! The vibe of the place was very nice as well, all wooded and homey. I would love to go back in the evening as well! read more

We love brewpubs and bar and grills, and like to try local spots when traveling. Murphy's was comfortable, reasonably priced, and had great service. Several people in our group ordered the bison meatloaf and loved it. Lots of local area beers to try. Would visit again. read more

I went there with a friend and we both had the boneless wings. They made us sick later and we couldn't sleep all night. On top of that the service was horrendous. Our waiter was higher than the moon and had no idea what was going on. The bar could be great though, but do not get the food. Ambience was nice. read more

A colleague and I stopped in to Murphy's to get a bite and watch the Series. I had fish and chips and he had the Sheppards pie. My plate came with 4 large pieces of lightly battered fish and a side of fresh chips made in house. The fish was nice and tender and was not overpowered by the batter. The chips, yea, these were awesome!! I heard no complaints about the Sheppards pie from my colleague either. read more

Our family loved it. The atmosphere was laid back and the service was excellent. The sweet potato fries with whatever butter dip they gave me was out of this world.
