Incredible service. Incredible food. We so enjoyed Murphy's! Our first time visiting and it will not be our last!

First time visitors and we all really enjoyed our meals. We were engaged in conversation and I didn't think to take pictures but we ordered a variety of dishes: Linda's omelette with grits or potatoes was delicious. The omelet was light and fluffy and I licked mine up a knotch by adding goat cheese - that took it over the edge! Shrimp and grits was good. Shrimp was cooked well and the sauce was very flavorful. Pancakes were a big hit from the size and texture to the flavor and that whiskey syrup- will order those again and again. We also enjoyed some calamari which was crisp and tender on the inside. We loved the accompaniments too! The biscuit and muffin basket with butter and jam was a nice starter and very yummy. I think each condiment tray should include the blackberry or blueberry jam too, but all of them were delicious. Coffee was great as well. As for customer service, we were seated timely and order taken shortly afterward. Staff was very welcoming and engaging and made sure we had everything we needed. The manager also stopped by our table to check on us which was appreciated and very kind. It was a great time and we'd definitely visit again. Oh- street parking is hit or miss b it valet is only $3 across the street in the Wells Fargo lot (at least on Sundays when the bank is closed).

Sunday morning fuel up before hitting IKEA. What a cozy brunch spot. We were super bummed bc we couldn't try the mimosas. It was a brisk morning so we were on the patio with heaters. They were busy, so a small wait, but worth it. My friend had always wanted to the pastry it was interesting! Not my thing. My chilaquiles were excellent.

Murphy's is an upscale neighborhood eatery in Virginia Highlands serving modern American cuisine for over forty years. The Atlanta favorite is a restaurant, bakery, and wine shop and one of my favorite places to eat, drink, and be merry. The ambiance, setting, and staff are reasons I visit Murphy's routinely. Whether sitting in the main bar, the wine bar, the covered patio, or the dining room, there is a classy yet comfortable vibe. The customer service is always top-notch, and Murphy's has an endearing clientele where you enter as strangers and leave as friends. Make sure to join Murphy's email distribution list to learn more about its special dinners or wine tastings. They also have a frequent diner program. During our most recent visit, we ordered: Beverages: Gimlet, Strawberry Rhubarb Lemonade Appetizers: Flash-Fried Calamari, Heirloom Tomatoes, Charcuterie & Cheese, Soups and Salads: Lobster Cobb Salad, Seared Yellow Fin Tuna Salad, Shuman Farms Vidalia Onion Soup Mains: Skate (special), Carolina Trout, Guinness Braised Brisket Sides: Crispy Brussel Sprouts, Parmesan Herb French Fries, Sauteéd Spinach Desserts: Peach Bread Pudding, Key Lime Pie, Tollhouse Pie We never have a bad bite or sip. We often order the grilled artichokes when in season, flatbread, soup of the day, calamari (so crispy with a delicious tangy sauce) and its uber-creamy mashed potatoes, and the fish of the day. This is not a place to skip out on dessert. The usual suspects--the Tollhouse Pie and The Bonzo--are must-eats. The Peach Bread Pudding that we ate was magical with its flan-like consistency, generous amounts of tahini caramel, and candied benne seed. While I typically go for dinner, Murphy's also has a good weekend Brunch that stays open later than most (4 pm). We recommend the Crab Cake Benedict, French Toast, and Eggs Slum Mulligan.

I really enjoyed my birthday brunch at Murphy's. It was overall an enjoyable and delicious experience. This restaurant is located in the Virginia-Highlands neighborhood and had valet parking. Upon entry it looks smaller than it is. It's a little more "snug" with tables closely situated, but that didn't affect my experience. The overall vibes were very family friend, great for a friend's dinner and for a date as well. In terms of food, the absolute highlight for me was the Crab Cake Benedict. I tried a few different items and this was the crown and jewel. It was flavorful, had plenty of sauce (hollandaise) and the spinach on the bottom was a nice touch of vegetables. The breakfast potatoes or home fries were also seasoned and well cooked. I'd rate this dish a solid 9.8/10. The braised beef was really good as well. The shrimp and grits were a bit underwhelming, so they lose a few cool points for that. The turkey club was really well prepared and with fresh ingredients. You can't go wrong there. The one thing I tried that I wasn't in love with per se - was the smoked salmon appetizer. The salmon was a bit more chewy than I cared for. I recognize this can sometimes be a matter of preference. Overall, I think there's something on the menu for everyone here so don't allow any minor critique to deter you. I think the food was worth it and I was stuffed by the end of it. For drinks, I enjoyed a cranberry mimosa and also had a really good iced latte. Their espresso martini was also tasty. My server was super sweet and thorough, and the manager even came to check in and say hello. 5 stars on service. I really enjoyed my experience at Murphys and would return if I'm ever in the area.

Murphy's delivered me the best meal I had over a week's trip to Atlanta with excellent food and playful and knowledgeable service through Han. We ordered the beef brisket and bbq salmon, both of which were excellent. The beef was cooked exquisitely -- with a cohesive outer layer and tender, juicy fibrous interior, smothered in delicious mashed potatoes and topped with roasted green beans and carrot. I'm salivating writing about it. The bbq salmon was delicious and generous in portion. The chef had a charred tomato risotto special that we noticed they also offer as a side and it was probably one of the best risottos I've had in the US. The key lime pie was splendid. Han carried us through the meal. He playfully shared historical context to the evolution of regional BBQ styles and offered good recommendations.

My friend had made reservations in advanced for brunch on a Sunday morning. Given how little tables were still available, I would also recommend others to plan ahead as well. As such, we did get seated right away but I didn't see anyone having to wait outside. Parking can be a little difficult as the streets fill up fast. Complimentary fresh muffins and bread are provided and delicious! You may need to ask for more butter and jelly since they give a very scant amount. I found their Eggs Slum Mulligan to be very filling since there was so many potatoes. Some extra bell peppers or vegetables could have added additional texture and flavor to the dish. The presentation of the Chilaquiles was gorgeous and also tasted just as good. I liked my Espresso martini but also enjoyed a sip from my friend's strawberry mimosa and blueberry mimosa. Overall, I had a great time in the well lit and comfortable atmosphere. It can be as casual or upscale as you want it to be. Staff were great but prices were slightly higher than preferred. Nonetheless, I'd still come again and recommend others to check them out too!

I picked this spot for brunch when in the area. The restaurant is cozy, bright, and inviting. The minute I walked in, I knew I was going to be impressed. They start you with poppyseed muffins for the table which were top notch. I tried the smoked salmon omelette with cheesy grits for $19, off the daily specials. It was a perfectly cooked omelette and the dill, crème fraiche, and large chunks of salmon were amazing. The cheesy grits were well flavored. This was my perfect brunch meal. My dining party all loved their meals here too. Service was attentive and always around for coffee or water refills. Highly recommend!

With our flight home to NJ canceled, my wife and I had a night to spend in Atlanta. What to do? Find a nice restaurant for dinner! My wife gets credit for finding Murphy's. The restaurant is located in the Virginia Highlands neighborhood. If we ever relocate to Atlanta, this fantastic town is where we'll be moving to! The restaurant has been here since 1980. It's a restaurant, but also a bakery. On a quiet Monday night, it was very relaxing. We started out with glasses of wine and the Burrata appetizer. The burrata was so creamy and the pieces of rhubarb its served with was really tasty. For entrees, my wife had the Georgia Shrimp Roll and I had the Guinness Braised Brisket. We both thought they were very good, I really liked the Brisket. Desserts were very tempting and we ordered the Bonzo. This was a brownie, cheesecake, and chocolate mousse slice. Delicious! The area is very busy, but there's valet parking across the street. Nice and easy! This restaurant was a great find!
