I was impressed that they made a sandwich which had been takin off the menu, the wings I had were little on the undercook side an the sauce was nothing fancy, the sauce on my chicken parm, (the one takin off the menu) was lackluster to taste but I'm not complying to hard seeing as they made for me any way, the chili was a big dud in my opinion, but it was right after a colTs game so maybe we just caught everybody gassed out from the game..... read more

Stopped her for an impromptu dinner out with my guy. I discovered it via Yelp (of course) and was impressed by their specials menu- great prices. We sat at the bar. The bar tender was prompt and polite. The place has about 10-12 other patrons in it. Pretty quiet. We sat near two regulars who the bartender knew by name. I like that, let's you know the staff cares. My guy order the steak medallions with a sauce. It was tasty, ok portion wise. He cleaned his plate. He is an eater so the average to dandy eater may have had left overs. I had the porterhouse steak and it was huge. I added the extra mushrooms on top. The steak had great flavor. My sides were lackluster. Old, dry, lukewarm mashed potatoes and some green beans. The bill sort of shocked me. Though we each had a drink - he had a couple draft beers, me a Bloody Mary, the bill was over $80. For that price I expect everything to be served hot and tasty. Had we gotten the 2- for $25 steak specials instead I think we would have been much happier. Though the food was good, it wasn't worth an $80 in my humble opinion. Probably will go back to take advantage of their bad ass steak specials next time. Check out their specials online! That's where the value is at for this place. read more

My and and I stopped here for dinner. I ordered the pork chops with a twice baked potato and my aunt ordered the tenderloin with a lettuce wedge. Everything was absolutely delicious! My pork chop was so tender and juicy, the potato was perfect. My aunt loved her wedge, as well as the tenderloin! I cannot wait to return here and try appetizers. If you aren't sure about going here for dinner, GO!!!! read more

This is a regular spot for my family and I since we live close by!! Smaller restaurant but great menu selection. I usually order the Ruben which is great. Big chunky pieces of corned beef that are awesomely seasoned topped with lots of melted cheese, kraut and dressing. Served with season fried. Not to fond of their crab cakes as it's imitation crab. They offer fish during the lenten season which is awesome for a quick bite. Nicely fried whitefish served with fries and slaw. WINGS...They have great wings! We start with these as an app but they could totally be a meal. I get them "well done" but that's preference. They have a nice selection of sauces. Sweet chili and hot are my favs. My only complaints with Murphy's is the actual set up. They have a handful of booths and tables right as you open the door. This stinks during the winter because all the cold air hits you as you eat. It also stinks when there's a long wait because it feels like people are hovering over you while you eat. Staff is a hit or miss. Sometimes wait staff are super nice other times I feel so rushed by them. Few improvements and this place could be a 5 star! Side note: They are kid friendly! read more

The food is great! The service attentive, professional and friendly. The only things stopping a 5th star are too heavy on salt on food and limited hours due to this Covid-19 nonsense. read more

Really love their tenderloin sandwiches but $30+ for two carry out sandwiches and fries seems a bit much. Can't give the fifth star due to price read more

I love Murphy's! Upscale food in a cozy, homey environment. Great place for a good drink at the bar or to bring the whole family for a delicious dinner or lunch. Steak hoagies are amazing but their beef/veggie soup is surprisingly outstanding as well. Definitely recommend to anyone. read more

I love their French fries and housemade ranch- have to get it every time! Also highly recommend the turkey & Gouda pretzel sandwich.

Best. Service. Ever. The food was good, but the service was amazing! We had 3 different staff ask us how everything was. The server was super nice, funny, and friendly with good suggestions. And the cook went above and beyond. Awesome fries. Ham pretzel panini was delicious. Burger was great. Twice baked potato was good. Good spicy bloody mary's that were not light on the alcohol. read more

Murphy's Pubhouse South - Irish Pub Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Nice atmosphere and pretty packed on a Friday night. The staff is attentive enough, friendly. Beer selection is OK. Food seemed hit or miss. Fries are seasoned - plus or minus depending on your taste. We had 3 appetizers - shrimp cocktail was very good with large fried mushrooms- also larger size and pretty good, calamari was also good but came with a sweet and type sauce. I had the fish and chips, which were frankly pretty poor. About a 2 x1 breading to fish ratio with 4 skinny pieces, all deep fried, most likely in oil that didn't seem that fresh. read more

I've never had anything bad at this restaurant. The ham and cheese on a pretzel bun is amaze and the French onion soup is to die for. Service is wonderful and it has a nice community feel to it. Small on the inside, but cozy. read more

Everything is scratch made here. More of a restaurant that has a bar as opposed to the other way around. I've never had a bad entree here. Daily specials are good values as well read more

We stopped at Murphys for lunch this past weekend and were blown away by how good everything was! We had the tenderloin, burger, pizza and chicken tenders. Everything tasted so fresh and good, even the fruit that came with my daughters' kids meal was outstanding! Service was fast and friendly, we'll definitely be back. read more

We are regulars. The chips are always house made. The house dressing should be bottled. My husband loves the pork chops. read more

Murphy's Pubhouse South - Irish Pub Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

This place has great food and good craft beer. Originally from the Murphy's at 42nd and keystone, they moved here due to construction reasons at the old restaurant. A great addition to Indy's southside. I enjoy the Reuben sandwich with a cold Guinness on draft :-) read more

All & all average. Tried for the first time today after reading the reviews. There was a 40 minute wait at peak dinner time on a Friday night. After talking with the others waiting who had been there many times before we decided to wait it out. We learned that they accept reservations as two parties skipped the wait time, so if you go it might be beneficial to make one. We were seated at a small 2 top table positioned in a high traffic area hallway with a cross between servers station traffic and people on their way to the bathroom. Hardly what I wanted or expected. I'd recommend removing that table, as I'm not one for watching servers put orders in all night or people on the way to use the facilities while I eat. I was afraid to say anything for fear of having to wait even longer. Our server was nice, but did not have a grasp of the menu. As today was the day before St. Patrick's Day, a Friday, and this an Irish Pub, I asked if they were serving corn beef & cabbage, to which she replied they would be all weekend. When I asked if they had any Irish beer, she showed me her beer cheat sheet, not menu, which they don't have. I saw a beer I liked and she went to put it in, but they were out. So I ordered corn beef & cabbage and she informed me that it was not served today, but on Saturday (St. Patrick's Day) & Sunday. So I had a steak tip sandwich with au jus and my wife had the beer battered fish sandwich instead. As we waited for our food we couldn't help but notice all of the server, hostess, and bathroom people traffic. As I looked closer, I saw that the hostesses were rolling all the silverware, bussing all the tables, rearranging all of the tables and cleaning them after people left. All we witnessed servers doing was taking orders and delivering food. Having worked in the restaurant industry many years and in all positions, I know each place has their own rhythm and rules, but I do hope that the servers are tipping these hostesses at the end of the night as I feel they did most of the hard work involved. The food arrived, and the fries were amazing! But the steak sandwich was extra dry and the meat barely recognizable. Wouldn't have gotten it down without the au jus. The fish sandwich was ok, but nothing great, and hardly flaky or flavorful as most fish we've had in the past. All said and done, we live close but doubt we'll be back anytime soon. I'd recommend Dale's Family Restaurant all day any day over this place, even on a traditionally Irish day. read more

Great food! Everything on the menu was delicious. If you like pretzels, they have the best! They are super soft, and the queso it comes with is delicious. You can tell a lot of their food is hand made. It's a pretty small space, definitely a "pub like" atmosphere. Children are allowed, but I wouldn't describe it as a family restaurant. They have live music- the band we heard was fantastic. Since it's such a small space it can definitely get loud. So if you want a quiet dinner check to make sure no one is playing that night. But if you want a fun dinner with friends, and to enjoy live music and drinks it's perfect. read more

Good pub fare, a tad expensive, a dozen beers on tap. I like it here. The ham and cheese in the pretzel bun was great $8.99 read more

If I could give the folks at Murphy's 10 stars I would. To say that the staff went above and beyond is an understatement. The food was outstanding. We brought an entire volleyball team and families in to eat. The server was able to keep the order straight. The chef was able to prepare the delicious food. The bartender took great care of us. Truly, if you are in the area, you must dine at Murphy's! read more

Ok so I keep coming back here .....cause one the food is great. The drink specials are awesome and the staff are amazing. I live across the street so I come at least one a week . read more

Their pretzels are fresh and very good. The hamburger was tasty and more than I could eat. Sweet potato fries were delicious. On another visit I tried the fish. It was ok.

We had wonderful lunch and experience here today. The food portions were large and the sweet potato fries are the best I have had at a restaurant! I had the steak hoagie which was large enough for 2 people. read more

Three words - Get the Tenderloin! One of the best in the city. Great live music as well. We will definitely be back.

I love Murphy's! My husband always gets their pub pizza, and I usually go between the ham and cheese panini or tenderloin sandwich. Both are delicious and I think the tenderloin is one of the best in town! Oh and their soups are sooo good! If you like soup always get a cup of the soup of the day! read more

By far the best service and food. We got the chips and salsa with cheese and fish and chips and BLT. The service was amazing and food was even better. I would recommend this over some of the nearby pubs. Not very big, but everything else makes u forget it. We will definitely be coming back. Clean and nice, even the bathrooms were spotless. Can stress enough how great it was to finally find a bar and grill where we can relax and it's close to home. Tables and bar was spotless. Great menu selections too! I just can't stop talking about how amazing Murphys is. read more

Stopped here today for a late lunch. I had the ham and cheese pretzel panini, which was really good. My husband had the half-portion chef salad and we split the potato skins. Everything tasted great, though the food took a little while for us being one of two parties in the restaurant at the time. Will come back sometime for drinks. read more

Stopped by here after doing an Escape room and we weren't sure what to expect. Pleasantly surprised by the quality of food we received! The chips and salsa were fresh and homemade, the house Dijon was *amazing* and my pretzel panini ham and Gouda was divine. Loved it! A bit expensive but we would come back. read more

I really like this place. The staff is awesome and the food has always been delicious!!! C.C. usually takes care of us when we go. It's the kind of place where everyone knows your name.

Great food great service we will be back for sure bar area is nice and always have great sporta on

Food very tasty. Good large portions. Great menu. Great bar. Plenty of TV viewing. Quick service fast service for lunch. Barbra was our waitress. Super nice checked on us. If you read my post I am always commenting the restrooms. Very clean. If I was to say any thing that would be a complaint need better ventilation in kitchen. The cooking smell and smoke a little strong. Be prepared for price it is priced for restaurant prices a little higher than pub prices. But saying that the food is very good so not disappointed paying the price. It's a must try. I was looking for somewhere new to try and was pleased that we tried it. Will be back...Just left the pub and smelled like fried food once again they need to improve ventilation!!!!! read more

Some of the menu items are hit or miss but that's likely up to individual taste. I like the burgers, the fried mushrooms are awesome (the siracha ranch is awesome) and I like the paninis. Half the time the fries are salted and half the time they aren't - not sure what that's about. I love the sweet potato fries but they were never served to me with sugar like an earlier reviewer mentioned. All in all it's one of the best restaurants in this part of Indy in my opinion. The service has always been great. my to go order has been messed up once or twice but that was on busy nights and they rectified it quickly. Sometimes it happens. :) read more

Waited an hour for a table... was told 20 min wait. More people came in after us and were seated. We were told they were family of band & bumped us down the list. Sadly used to be a favorite but not anymore. Horrible way to do business. Left and went somewhere else. read more
