We were told this was a great place for dinner. Maybe at one time, but not on the night we went there. The food was ok, given the cost. The service was medicore. We will not be back. read more

We had a party of seven, including three teenagers. The service was great and the food was excellent! Kids tried several things they'd never tried before and they were surprised at how delicious it all was!! The restaurant is a short walk to whiskey row so we also enjoyed the holiday lights and displays! Perfect evening!! read more

our server was great, but the food was subpar. I ordered the baked chicken with red mashed potatoes. The chicken was tuff and came with a sweet glaze that wasn't very good. The potatoes were extremely dry. This place used to be good but. I think they stopped trying. read more

I'm writing this as I listen to my husband continuing his violent purging of last night's meal from this restaurant. I was envious that his stroganoff came out steaming hot while my pasta dish was barely room temperature. I'd have tried his dish, but I don't care for mushrooms. So thankful I did not because I've never seen someone so sick with food poisoning. All that aside, everything tasted bland, bland, bland. The shrimp cocktail was served with "red remoulade". This was basic cocktail sauce. Nothing special. The shrimp came out wet, so the sauce didn't even stick to it. The friendly enough waitress who was patient with all my questions offered bread. It came wrapped in a towel as if it were warm. Nope. And it was a pretty basic loaf and nothing stood out about it. The herbed butter was decent. The rigatoni dish was flavorless. Like they didn't even salt the water the pasta was cooked in or use any seasoning whatsoever. So glad I asked for the shrimp (upcharge) blackened as this was the only part of my dish that had any flavor or was even remotely hot. My husband's prime rib stroganoff was uninspired and flavorless as well. He said he kept coming across raw/undercooked onions in it and seemed to be made with nothing more than cream of mushroom soup. Bathroom was clean though trash can was overflowing with paper towels. A bunch of staff kept hanging out at one end of the bar socializing. I had a mule and husband had gin & tonic. Both were fine. Should have trusted our guts a few months ago when we walked by and our thoughts were "meh." Even the rodeo in town didn't pack this place. That's pretty sad considering every other business we passed, including our usual haunts, were all busy. We will not be back. read more

Murphy's is located in Downtown Prescott, everything within walking distance from Restaurant. Food/Beverage; started with raw Oysters, that were fresh and a great starter. The main course ordered a Ribeye, great flavor and cooked to order. The dish is large in size so come with an appetizer. Order a Cocktail from bar, and it was ice cold and hit the spot. Service; We came for a wedding weekend, and ended up running into others our servicer was nice enough to join our tables. Server was very friendly, the bar was behind all night. Must Try, highly recomment reservations just to be safe. read more

We've been going to Murphy's when we visit Prescott since we were dating back in the 80s. We usually have a great experience. This time not so much I ordered a fish special and it didn't taste very good. My husband got the fishcakes as an appetizer. He wasn't very hungry and he really enjoyed them. The server acted like we were an inconvenience to him and couldn't wait to get rid of us. I'm not sure we'll go back on our next visit to Prescott. Disappointed read more

service, atmosphere, and food were all great. our server was new, but she was fantastic and the kitchen accommodated our food requests. dirty martini was fantastic- my ONLY complaint was the apple pie-tini tasted like straight fireball, but that could also just be a personal preference. we will definitely be back on our next visit read more

We stopped for brunch today. My husband had the American breakfast. Bacon and potatoes were good, but the eggs were overcooked. I ordered the chicken salad and specified I didn't want it on the croissant, but instead sour dough bread. It came on a croissant. The waitress who took the order didn't deliver the meals, and the server left before I saw it was incorrect. If the waitress had come over and asked if everything was okay, I would have told her about the bread issue. I wouldn't have sent it back, but at least she would have known the kitchen or someone screwed up. We have frequented Murphys several times, and there has always been a small issue with the service. Attention to details needs to be taught to the staff. read more

We ate here 11/24 Beautiful restaurant with plenty of ambiance. Birthday, first date, anniversary or any occasion you can't go wrong with this place. We had Calamari which was so/so. We normally get ours from the coast of California so it's hard to beat. I had catfish cooked with care with a nice breading which came with green beans (excellent and perfectly prepared). Husband had sea bass perfectly prepared with delicious spinach. We both loved our meals and look forward to coming back each time we visit. Service was impeccable. read more

Unfortunately, this restaurant has gone down hill. When we arrived we waited at the hostess stand for over 10 mins. The phone just rang and rang at the desk. Obviously, they were understaffed. Finally our waitress sat us at a booth. She appeared to be intoxicated and started sneezing and coughing at our table when taking our order. She was very sloppy and kind of gross with her presentation l. We waiting for our food for 30 mins, but overall the food tasted good. I am understanding when a business will is understaffed but there were only a few tables still occupied. Service was very poor and I hope they can find better employees. read more

We ate at Murphy's on 7/10, our first and last time at this restaurant. We liked the ambiance, an old saloon type space, but the service and food were terrible. Everything had to be requested twice -- water, bread, and even a fork for my entree. When our entrees were put down our dirty appetizer plates were left on the table. When the wine glass was served, the beer glass was left on the table. By the time dinner was finished, we were up to our eyeballs in dirty dishes. The food was just as bad -- we both had the rigatoni which was served with an excessive amount of chewy cheesy sauce, a bechamel/asiago blend that a big blob of yuck. We both ate about two bites. The server didn't even notice. Say no to Murphy's because there are plenty of great places in Prescott. read more

Slow Roasted Prime Rib was terrible. Absolutely terrible. It was served to us first completely raw and cold with Cold beans and cold mashed potatoes? . They were out of regular potatoes and out of muscles as well.... We didn't eat one bite and opted to go home to make ourselves dinner. Although we had lost our appetite quite honestly after being served this. read more

Murphy's is one of our favorite places to go while in downtown Prescott and Billy is one of our favorite bartenders...anywhere. Whenever we find ourselves in Prescott, we make it a point to stop at Murphy's for at least a few drinks. They have a killer jalapeño pineapple margarita that is to die for. Not sure it's on the menu but you can ask for it and if they have the ingredients, they'll make it for you! Happy hour is pretty good too. They have pretty good items on the menu although I would not recommend their mac & cheese. The happy hour burger is pretty good but it's hit or miss. Sometimes the patty is just way too thick or too tough but when they make it right, it's one of the best burgers I've had! I think anyone that comes into this place would love the ambience of the old wild Wild West. Bar is beautiful and the people there are always friendly. The only reason I'm not giving this place five stars is because of the inconsistencies of their burgers and a few other items, but if they could nail the food, I would give this place 10 stars. read more

I really enjoyed my meal here for dinner with a group of 4. The waitress knew the keto diet and helped me pick menu items that wouldn't spoil it. She also recommended a great wine for the table. Everyone else who was on a normal diet ordered great options (shrimp cocktail, etc.) I would recommend this place for a nice meal in the area. read more

So disappointing. My wife and I and another couple made reservations for New Year's Eve 2023. They had a limited menu anticipating a holiday rush, I guess. The place was half empty when we sat down at 7:00. We ordered appetizers to find out that one of the offered selection was sold out. OK. We ordered other appetizers. When the waiter brought them out he told us he was sold out of one of the four dishes we had selected. How could they be out of items on a limited menu on a holiday when the place was practically empty? Anyway, my buddy and I both ordered the prime rib. He ordered his rare, I ordered mine medium rare. When they came out the waiter had a hard time deciding whose was whose because they were both rare! I asked him to take it back and make it medium rare. He grabs my bread plate and motions for me to put the meat on it, then he runs off in a huff. Five minutes later he comes back with my steak. Now it's medium. No pink at all. For $53.00. My buddy's wife ordered a steak which was supposed to come with mashed potatoes and green beans. The waiter brings out a plate with the steak and green beans, no potatoes. She asks about the potatoes. His reply is the kitchen screwed up. He returns again in a huff with a separate plate with potatoes. We live in Prescott. We've had good dinners and not so good dinners at Murphy's. The food has always been genuinely good (not great), but for the price one expects both much better service and food. I doubt we'll ever return. read more

Our first experience at Murphy's was the bar. Billy was wonderful! Great personality and delightful service. When our reservation time arrived, I visited the restroom before being seated. It was filthy! Used and wadded paper towels were scattered all over and piled on top of the sink because the trash can was overflowing. The hostess, who looked like a resurrected 1980s punk rocker with purple hair, first sat us in the upstairs balcony section (although there were dozens of open tables in the lower section). The ceiling height was 6 feet. Warning: DO NOT SIT IN THE BALCONY IF YOU HAVE CLAUSTERPHOBIA. We immediately requested a different table and were sat three feet from the front door, directly in front of the hostess station...you know, the one where the punk rocker with the purple hair stood. As that, too, was unacceptable--and since three times is usually a charm--we asked for a different table and were sat in a section reserved for "normal" people who don't like to eat in doorways or who fear the ceiling falling on them. Our server greeted us then immediately began to complain that they were "too busy," so we were pretty sure that we were in for a bad time. We started by ordering two non-alcoholic specialty drinks and some soup. The soup never came. The drinks, however, came fairly quickly but looked NOTHING like the ones described on the menu. The bread came out, hot with butter. It had zero taste--bland, like flour and water. The butter didn't help. My husband's prime rib was a 5 (scale 1 to 10). No flavor, too much fat. He ordered a baked potato with butter. The butter never came...well, I take that back, the butter arrived as soon as we were leaving. Our waiter never checked on us. He came by just in time to bring us the bill. The best service of the day was the guy who brought out a box for us to take our scraps home for the dog, the only one who might find the food acceptable. On a side note: the table next to us got their food with the exception of one person who had to wait. Her companions were done before her chicken ever came. The end. read more

Update! Within 24 hrs of leaving the post from Halloween night the manager at Murphy's called me to apologize for the service and food- I explained I would not be back in town until February- but he said he would send a gift card so we would definitely give them another try. Received the gift card and a hand written note- extremely impressed! Will post again, hoping we can leave another 5 stars when we head to Prescott again in February! Unfortunately we came again tonight and had the worst service ever- steaks not done correctly, drinks were bad, sirloin comes out and was identical as a filet- but none were good. No bread was served to the table, the salads were wilted. Sad because we had such a great experience the first go around- but a 240 bill for steak we couldnt eat, even after sending it back and that made it so we will never be back! read more

Glad they were able to let my family eat together. They have tables upstairs so it's like more private. Has a low ceiling upstairs, so felt it was pretty loud. They gave us complementary bread and butter. We came at like 2 and we asked for another menu (dinner menu) which has more options. I got the half rack of ribs which were good. Very saucy. Came with a side and asparagus. Also comes with salad or soup. Got the salad it was good. My sister got the burger it was good and thick. My cousin ordered a burger too and they forgot the cheese and then he said it was to tough. My mom liked the clam chowder. The creme brûlée was good. The Apple pie with ice cream tasted like Christmas but wasn't a fan of the big pieces of apple in it. Pretty pricey place. read more

Another visit to a historic building in Prescott. . It has a beautiful bar area as well as upstair seating. The food isn't as grand as it use to be and definitely not worth the high price. But you pay for being in a historical building. Our waiter Matthew was really good. The service has always been good. Parking for this place on a weekend is very difficult, so give your self extra time to find one or be ready to walk a little. They serve bread at the table as well,, so enjoy read more

Service is off to a glacially slow start, which began at entry and has continued upon being seated at one of the half empty tables after a 10 minute wait . Murphy's heavily advertises itself as a Prime Rib and Seafood Resturant. Well it's 7:00 PM on Friday night and they're already out of prime rib and there only a few "seafood" dishes hardly a seafood restaurant. The ambiance is somewhere in between Cracker Barrel and an Applebees, definitely not an Irish pub in any sense the menu has zero traditional Irish pub fare available and lack the intimacy of a pub. The servers are all well dressed and professional. Salads arrived their ingredients were fresh and chilled. A loaf of fresh soft warmed bread was served with a herbed butter, which were both good. I shoulda known when the locals in Prescott rate Texas Roadhouse as the best steak house in town. That's a travesty. I've waited to complete this review for a while to make sure I was being just. The service was fine, the small dinner salads were good, the steak was merely adequate light on beef flavor and seasoning. Had we not ordered a side the dinner ($150 for two with iced teas) would have consisted of bread, salads and two lonely steaks served solo on big plates. It's as if someone read a book about a fine steakhouse and has never been to an actual steakhouse. I would not recommend Murphy's to anyone. read more

My girl and I went up to Prescott July 4th to meet our friends. As both parties scouted the area for a good meal, we came to the consensus to dine at Murphy's. As we entered, we were greeted by a hostess, who was all smiles and eager to meet our needs. We were seated promptly and the restaurant looked great. There really isn't a bad seat in the place. Menus were dropped and shortly after our server was there to greet us. We had a few questions about the menu and our server provided great information. Our meals came out looking and tasting delicious. The steak was to the right temperature and the sides were tasty. Everything was on point. We had a great meal, but I gotta say, our server made our night. Tiffany was great and did such a good job accommodating our party. Thank you for the stellar service! read more

Just had an excellent lunch at Murphy's.

Brought my husband to Murphy's for his birthday dinner. We had a reservation for 6 pm and arrived 15 minutes early. We were seated right away and our server's name was Holly per our hostess seating us at our booth. Holly was very friendly and an excellent server! Even when she became busy with other tables, Holly always checked on us. My husband enjoyed the ribeye with garlic mashed potatoes and I enjoyed the top sirloin with wild rice pilaf. Both steaks will delectable and cooked the way we had ordered. We would definitely recommend Murphy's to all our friends and family. read more

Went to Murphy's Saturday (Aug 5th) evening. Seated quickly, prompt service, all staff performed well. RE: The food ??? Oh, my. Really gone downhill since were were there last (maybe 6-8 months ago ?)... I'll say the shrimp cocktail was pretty good. Large and well cooked shrimp, good sauce. Nice solid base hit there. RE: The beef stroganoff... It went from being a "10" previously, down to a "4" this go-round. Maybe half the sauce, a third the beef, and the beef did not taste that good this go-round. Even fewer noodles, and they were not as tasty either. Also, I think the price was increased from $28 to $38, or something along those lines. Would not swear to that on the price, but it's definitely higher. RE: The mashed potatoes, we've had better from a bag. read more

We ate lunch there today: mixed review. I Got the ribs n catfish-meat was amazing. I REALLY like the catfish. Fresh & hot. I didn't like the cold pud of potatoes they slapped on my plate. Was like red rose potatoes with sour cream or whatever. When someone says mashed potatoes-I think of good old fashioned mashed potatoes. My husband got the ribs n chicken-he said his ribs were good, chicken breast thing was bleh, not very not and he tolerated the potatoes. The prices were low because they were celebrating their 40th Anniversary and had throw back prices and menu from 1985. However, that should not compromise good service and good food. Worst part of our experience was the service. It wasn't even that busy in there. If this was the first time eating here we wouldn't be back. Cancelled our dinner reservation for Saturday. read more

Approached the hostess desk and obviously interrupted the host from his busy phone. He proceeded to tell us that tonite was too busy for our party of 4 as he looked at my family from head to toe with disgust. It appeared to be less than 25% occupied.

The owner should reconsider who is screening his patrons.. 10/15/23 Message sent to feedback@forkintheroad.com read more

We went to dinner at Murphy's for our anniversary. We ordered prime rib, which had a lot of fat and no flavor. The baked potatoes was under cooked. We asked for our desserts to go. I ordered carrot cake and when I got home, they had given me cheese cake. My husband ordered bread pudding and it was not good. The dinner we had was not worth the money we paid. We used to love going to Murphy's, but we won't be going back after this dining experience. My husband called Murphy's and spoke with Dave, the manager. He was very arrogant, did not ask our name or phone number, and offered no viable options to offset our terrible dining experience. read more

The restaurant is absolutely beautiful and all the people were very nice and helpful, but the food was very underwhelming. For the prices they charge they should have high-quality food that taste great. I had the seared tuna, and even though it looks like it was cooked correctly, it had the texture of the pork chop. Very stiff tasteless piece of tuna... the French onion soup's appearance was great. And the toasted Gruyere cheese was nice. But the soup was watery and tasteless.

Truth be told, they were the only restaurant I could get a reservation at during June of 2021. Many restaurants were still restricted with seating secondary to COVID, so this wasn't our first choice. The decor was very cute - very speakeasy. Service was just fine, nothing exceptional but nothing terrible either. Our food was a little slow in getting out to us though. And the food was just ok. Again, nothing to write home about but nothing horrible either! read more

This is the first restaurant we happened upon in Prescott. We were starving after the eventful drive up from Tucson (I-17 closures, and accidents). We walked from our room around the corner, and this place looked inviting, and we weren't wrong. Everyone was so friendly! They made us immediately feel at home in Prescott! The waiter and hostess both gave us a full rundown of what to do and where to eat in town, and the best thing to order on the menu - the house made corned beef ruben! WOW!! The hubby and I split it with some fries. The corned beef is made in house and added with the flavors of sauerkraut and swiss cheese this was a home run! There are TV's, and a nice bar area, it's quiet and a little dark, very inviting! read more

We went to Murphy's for their 40th year anniversary. All of the prices were from 1985. We had escargot for $5.25, prime rib for $12.95 and drinks for under $5. It was really nice. We ate leisurely and enjoyed the final day of the celebration. I hope that they have another 40 years. The service was on the slow side, but I didn't mind. The ambience is always good, and I talked to people that came every day of the 5 day celebration. The prime rib was wonderful. read more
