We found parking on the back of the building. Upon walking in, we were a bit confused as to whether they were open or not. But the waitress came out finally and sat us at a nice table. We ordered the regular burger, the black garlic aioli burger and the big kids burger. Ok, I may have been starving- but it was great! The patties were actually made there instead of a frozen supermarket burger. Also the fries were tasty. Overall, far exceeded our expectations!

We stopped here on the weekday around noon so it was not that crowded and it was a cooler day. I really liked sitting outside, but I could see it won't be comfortable to hang outside when it is hot.

Came for the burger :)…read more My husband and I live in the East Bay and wanted to go on a lil drive. We decided on Murphy's for the Watering Hole burger which did not disappoint. We ordered 2 Double Cheese Burgers, the Broccoli Bacon Ranch Salad and an order of French Fries that included a side of ranch. All of what we ordered was delicious. The burgers come with double patties and are grilled along with the onions, the bun lightly toasted, soft and sweet and included a smear of 1,000 dressing. The burgers have 2 different types of cheese, fresh crispy shredded lettuce, pickles and sliced ripe tomato. It is the perfect combination and proportions of all ingredients. The Broccoli Bacon Ranch salad was not like anything I have had before and was a nice surprise to our taste buds. The salad included fresh bell peppers both yellow and red. It also had pickled onions, sunflower seeds, bacon and blue cheese that was all tossed together with ranch dressing which made it very convenient and easy to eat. Last but not least, the French Fries. They included a nice seasoning on the outside for a crispy texture and a creamy inside which I love. I liked the fact that they serve the fries with homemsde ranch and I didnt even have to ask for it...it's the little things for me. We sat inside to dine, I enjoyed seeing what others were eating, of course lots of burgers but also ribs, pasta, chicken sandwiches, salads and even cheese cake for dessert. I like that the menu offered a variety of options and brought great value for the quality and care that you can taste in every bite! I did not notice any issues with service as I saw other reviews reported. I would say that the inside, although cozy was a bit loud while others socialize. I think it was simply the high ceilings that carry the noise. The outside seating area is another option and is very nice as it's next to a stream which we would have chosen if it hadn't been 57° outside that day.

I got a sandwich- gluten free. No bread. They didn't have GF substitutions but the meat with no bread does the trick when traveling. Sadly it's still the same cost, would have loved a side of coleslaw. I did get mushrooms and if that was comped in place of the missing bread, it would have been nice.

He cussed at the guests for turning the jukebox volume up a bit. He said there are hotel guests that paid for their room upstairs. First of all anyone who stays there on a busy night like that knows what they are getting themselves into. We are paying guests as well. Second the guests screaming for the game on were 10x louder then the music. We met some guests that were staying there and they were in a group text involving his comments about a certain ethnic group not leaving tips. I'm like ok. We tipped him well thank you but after that comment several of us walked out. I can assure you we won't be back there again.

Even though it was late on a Tuesday the patio was still busy. We got a nice table outside because it was a beautiful day and we had our GSD with us. Shared the beet salad and the chicken burrito and also a kids hamburger with fries for the pup ( fries were for us). PROTIP: We took the option to split each dish by the kitchen and although it cost a couple bucks more, you get a little more of everything! Beet salad was solid with perfect allocations of all ingredients. I would say it was a bit heavy on the dressing but I like minimal dressing and my partner said it was perfect so there you go. The burrito was "wet" and delicious! Lots of flavor fresh ingredients and very saucy. Only thing it lacked was a little heat. Ask for tapatio if you like a little spice. The hamburger by the way, was larger than a normal hamburger you get on the kiddie menu. And the fries were piping hot and fresh. Our dog loved the burger as he should and we downed all the fries. Highly recommend and will be back!
