Mom, Dad, and I came across Haus Murphy's by accident around 2015, unfortunately after my wisdom teeth were removed and I wasn't able to enjoy the schnitzel but they accommodated me lovingly, doing a version of German butter noodles. But back to 2025. Dad and I are at Glendale to see the Glitters and wanted to visit the Haus like we have in prior years with mom. We got the Jaeger Schnitzel (our all time favorite of pork with a wonderful demi mushroom sauce), and wanted to try the Schweitzer Schnitzel as well, (like a Corden Bleu but with pork). So satisfying and delicious, it was the most satisfying as well. If you're in Glendale and want to come, book a reservation or be ready to wait a bit as a walk in because it's hopping!! We also enjoyed the live accordion music that got the Christmas and joyful drinking vibes! read more

This place feels like you're eating at someone's house, nice and cozy. They've been open for 26 years and serve the most delicious German food. I would have liked more tap beer options. Came here on a Sunday and they have Sunday special all day, 25% off all appetizers. I ended up ordering a dark beer because they were out of IPA. It was good but would've liked an IPA. I ordered the big Smokey beef bratwurst, it was really good. Probably the best I've tasted. It was juicy and had a great smokey flavor and wasn't salty. It came with German potato's and sauerkraut, best sauerkraut I've tasted. My BF ordered the traditional beef roulade, it comes with a side of red cabbage and spaetzle. He said he tasted better elsewhere for what it cost. read more

I tried this little gem over the weekend and I'm sure glad I did. It's not something I'd normally opt for, but in this case, it helped me find a place I would definitely return to. Haus Murphy's is a quaint spot in Glendale serving up good beer and German eats. I met my party in their biergarten (patio), and didn't enter the establishment. Therefore, I can't really speak to the ambiance, but this isn't really the kind of place you go for ambiance anyway. The patio was long and narrow, which is great because it offered some shade from the buildings it's situated between. The one element that added to the patio ambiance was the giant banner over my table that read, "I got my schnitzel pounded at Haus Murphy." I got a laugh out of that. If you don't, I'm very sorry for your unfortunate lack of humor. The food: We ordered a few dishes, including the giant Oktoberfest pretzel, stuffed mushrooms, currywurst, chicken schnitzel, and the jalapeño cheddar brat. One of my foodie friends also had the old fashioned to drink. The old fashioned was a lowlight. It was made with chocolate bitters and super sweet. Another opportunity was that their hot mustard wasn't very hot. My dining mate, who had dined there before, said it used to clear your sinuses, which I actually would have preferred. The rest of the food was amazing. In particular, the sauces stole the show. The currywurst, which came with battered fries (my favorite), had a side of curry ketchup that was out of this world. The pretzel came with a super light cheese spread that was unlike any cheese sauce I've ever had. The mushrooms also sat in a cream sauce that was savory and delicious. They were topped with crispy fried onions, so that dish had a nice variety of flavors and textures. Finally, the chicken schnitzel had a white wine sauce that literally tasted like heaven. Worth honorable mention: I'm not a big fan of kraut, but theirs was packed with amazing flavor and not as sour as many I've tried. If you're a German food enthusiast or just in the area, you'll definitely want to try this place. You, too, can get your schnitzel pounded at Haus Murphy! read more

LEGIT German fare. This is oftentimes a very busy spot, especially in the winter months. Plan accordingly!

Authentic German food can be hard to come by. I'm so glad we took a chance on this cute little hole in the wall. The food was delicious! Portion sizes were so fair for the price. Please don't expect much in the way of decor inside, but know that you're going to get great food. Our server was awesome- he offered food suggestions, kept our drinks filled, and even swapped us to a bigger table after ordering our food because he knew all our plates wouldn't fit on the smaller table. Can't wait to return! read more

Stopped by Haus Murphy's in the afternoon of a Friday. I was greeted and seated right away. The waiter who served me was polite and attentive. I have never had German food before, so I went with what I deemed were safest on the menu: the Sauerkraut Puffs and a Giant Oktoberfest Pretzel, both of which are appetizers. The drinks were immediately provided and my food only took less than 15 minutes to come out. I had their famous beer cheese to dip my pretzel in. I did not expect the puffs to be as large as they were, and they are extremely filling. I loved the old style wood of the tables and chairs, and the Christmas lights hanging down and around the room were a nice touch. I was able to pay easily online and take my leftovers to go! I definitely enjoyed my food and time here. read more

Haus Murphy's - German Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

A pretty cool German restaurant/bar located in Downtown Glendale! Parking can be difficult since there isn't much parking spots but there is a parking structure across the street as well as street parking Service is ok and not too attentive. It can get pretty loud inside especially on the weekends when it gets packed Menu has a huge variety of German dishes, whether you want a sandwich, bratwursts, or a traditional schnitzel plate. Pricing is pretty pricey so expect to pay $20+/dish but they give you plenty of food! Got the Traditional Sauerbraten ($29.95) and it's limited availability AND Guy Fieri's favorite (apparently, he's been to this spot before and this was his FAVE!) it's marinated in their special mixture for 9+ days and then slowly cooked for 12 hours! I thought the gravy was very salty and I wasn't a fan of the beef. The purple cabbage was very interesting and sweet. It was pretty enjoyable and flavorful. This dish was 6/10 for me Got the Schwimmbad ($12) and it was pretty strong but refreshing. It was very fruity and I enjoyed the pineapple juice, coconut cream, and blue Curacao. This was 8/10 for me It's an unique spot to check out but I probably won't return. I would recommend it for first timers! read more

Waited from 11:47 to 12:41 to be served out dishes. Waiter wasn't particularly kind about it either. The food came oddly lukewarm, overly tough and heavily salted. Super disappointing experience and I would not recommend coming here my friends, hard pass. read more

Hard pass. Three servers inside and only two other tables occupied - one of whom had already finished. We sat for close to Hard pass and I truly think before giving a o e star review. Three servers inside and only two other tables occupied - one of whom had already finished. We sat for close to 20 minutes before Jackie #1 dropped utensils off and went back to the very high maintenance table that had finished and was promising a good Google review. Wish we could tell you what the food tasted like but Jackie #1 did not bother to find out that we are big tippers. You don't let people sit without so much as a "hi, I'm really slammed right now but here is some water and set ups. I'm sorry for the wait." But for real...there was not a lot going on inside. Not cool. read more

7/5/25: Short version - quaint restaurant, gorgeous decor, excellent food, fantastic service. Totally worth a revisit. Long version - this particular Saturday we opted for a late lunch/dearly dinner. Craving German food, my sister selected Haus. I had been there years earlier (before I started Yelping) & enjoyed it immensely so off we went. Service: far exceeded our expectations. Our server, Scottie, was wonderful. He was friendly, bantered with us the entire time, kept checking in to see how things were, if we needed anything. He was knowledgeable about the menu & we often sought his advice, going with his recommendations. Appetizers: 10 oz pretzel & stuffed mushrooms. The pretzel was gi-normous. Scottie offered to have more salt added to the pretzel (it was a bit bare). Now that's an eye for detail many people don't have. But it was salted enough for us, plus it was hot & the mustardy cheese that came with was perfect. The stuffed shrooms were so damn tasty. The plating was well done (almost too pretty to eat). I said almost. We dove right in. :-) They were chock full of meat (no skimping involved), the drizzles on the plate were mild & added some flair; and though I am not a fan of onions, I still enjoyed the dried/fried onions that came with the shrooms. Cocktails: Black Forest old fashioned, Schwimmbad. Smooth & sweet respectively. Decently priced. It was Shots Saturday, which meant 1/2 price shots (two shots for $8). First round was the Feiling (fig vodka) & Kirschwasser (tasted like 100 proof moonshine). We both agreed the Feiling was the best (slightly sweet, smooth like the bourbon), the Kirschwasser was too harsh for us. Our second round we enjoyed schnapps shots (say that fast five times): apfel & blackberry. Of those, the apfel was the best. The next Saturday we visit Haus, it will be rough trying to decide which shots to get, go with what we know or try something new. It's going to be a tough decision. Ha! Meals: Kassler brat combo (pork chop aka chunk of ham; choice of brat, I selected the big smokey; chose two gravy sides: paprika & rouladen; also a side of spätzle), plus the Eisbein (smoked pork shank). Both came with sauerkraut (duh) and the brat combo had whipped potatoes, the Eisbein came with German fried potatoes. DELICIOUS! All of it was DELICIOUS! Very large portions of everything, even the spätzle. Hell, I had delicious leftovers for lunch at work for the next three days, it was that much food ... of course we had to save room for dessert. Dessert: sauerkraut torte. We have Scottie to thank for this selection. Once again, he was spot on. We were a bit apprehensive about the sauerkraut but he explained it was for moisture -- and yes, the torte was extremely moist (and no, it was not "sauer" but sweet). Final answer? Haus Murphy's is a joy. Large menu, friendly & courteous staff willing to explain & offer recommendations, reasonably priced items, large portions. Will most definitely come back. read more

Been sick for the past few days since visiting here. Won't be going again and don't recommend. Also the staff were extremely rude!!

Awesome. Great food. Great service. Great accordion player. A must do night in Phoenix area!!

This review is based on our last visit ~ two years ago. Haus has been my go-to for Authentic German food for 20+ years and what I grew-up with at home. Located in the historic old downtown Glendale Az where many of the historic shops have been repurposed as antique shops, restaurants, quaint center park. It's a fun place to walk for a look back in time. Haus Murphy's Parking (impacted score) On street parking is the primary place on both sides of the street including around the park. If not so lucky there are parking lots nearby that require a little walking. Ambiance - Classic German. Outside is the Biergarten which is best enjoyed in season and is a fun spot to enjoy your meal while listening to live entertainment. There is a dedicated Bar outside for Biergarten patrons. Inside the ambience is classic Deutschland decor and colors. Done in the spirit of Historic Downtown Glendale. Menu If this is your first visit to a German restaurant there are some items that would be more familiar like chicken Parmesan Deutsch style. Our favorites are any of the Bratwursts, Schnitzels; Jaeger or Schweitzer all w/o sauces. Favorite sides are (traditionell) red cabbage, Sauerkraut (Ein Muss), German potato's. Desert favorite are the strudels (Süßes Brot). Adult beverage selections Haus offers a large selection of German Brews, Wines and liquors. $$/$$ depending on adult beverages. Genießen Sie lhre Erfahrung! read more

I could have sworn I wrote my review after finally visiting this place that I have seen for years and have been really wanting to try! I went with some friends after work, and I swear it was around Oktoberfest because they had a special menu that we ordered from. I will go through my phone later and upload the pictures I know I took. I want to say I got a chicken schnitzel. Pretty much anything I ordered was new to me. I had a really nice time with my friends and I got to see a lot of the food since just about everyone ordered something different. It really is a place to try. There are a few places to park nearby, as there are only a couple of spots right out front of the place. read more

Best schnitzel in the entire state. I am over 45 min away and I will drive over and over for this meal. Love the atmosphere of the place super homey and the food is just unreal. The white wine mushroom sauce I could drink and the red cabbage would be a death row meal for me alone. read more

Haus Murphy's - German Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

This is my favorite German food. It's so freaking good! I am obsessed with the Schnitzel. We get the plate for two to share and it has a little bit of everything. The only thing here is the service is never good. Sometimes it's almost on the side of rude. Tia was our server tonight. Slow as could be. She would come back after asking for her and have excuses that she is also tending the bar. The nice man in the dining room should have just taken care of all of the tables because he was nice and doing more work than her. I wish my tip would have went towards him. read more

We were promptly greeted upon arrival, but unfortunately, we were seated in the back room bar area, which felt more like an overflow warehouse. While I understand the building's age might contribute to the smell, the dirty floors and dust were unacceptable. The place looked neglected, as if the owners didn't care about its appearance. There's a fine line between having a restaurant with charm and character and one that looks outdated and unkempt. I've visited other European-themed restaurants with even more decor, yet they manage to stay clean-- or think Cracker Barrel, for an easy example. They have charm and they are clean, and it looks like a real restaurant not an old Wearhouse with broken tables. The limited street parking is another drawback, making it less likely for me to return. The customer service was also disappointing. Our waitress was unfriendly and answered questions with a hint of attitude. When I ordered a beer flight, she bluntly informed me they no longer offer them, despite it being on the menu. She explained they didn't have enough glasses and couldn't serve it without causing issues with other tables. When I inquired about the differences between two beers on the menu, she said they were out of stock. After several more questions, I finally settled on a Paulaner. It was frustrating to see items on the menu that weren't available, and instead of me having to ask all the questions, the waitress should have proactively suggested alternatives. On a positive note, the beer and the schnitzel sampler I ordered were good. However I would have liked more of the schnitzel sauce because it was not enough to taste and you end up tasting just the schnitzel. The pretzels was good. Total was 65 read more

Stopped here after a fair thanks to my manager recommending this place. My friend and I shared the meatloaf sandwich and potato salad. It was freaking delicious. I think the best meatloaf I've had. Hope my mom doesn't read this from heaven, lol. The meatloaf was so flavorful, and that gravy OMG soooo good. Potato salad was quite tasty too. read more

Haus Murphy's is really hard for me to rate because things would drag it down to a three star rating, then other mitigating factors would pull it back to four stars, then back and forth again. I've probably had this restaurant bookmarked for more than a decade but we live an hour away. We finally made it here tonight. Ambiance: I thought it was terribly drab, with cheap furniture, dirty windows, and low budget posters on the walls BUT having the accordion guy playing was kinda nice. Food: I love späetzle but theirs tasted very flavorless to me BUT my Schweizer Schnitzel was very good - breaded expertly, tender, and cooked to perfection. Service: There is no dispute here. Scottie was a really sweet, wonderful waiter. He's probably why I settled on four stars rather than three. Even though I ended up liking my schnitzel, I was disappointed enough in the ambiance of Haus Murphy to not want to make the trek back out to Glendale again. read more

Haus Murphy's - Schweizer schnitzel with späetzel - German Near Me - Glendale, Arizona

So we moved far from our normal German place Edelweiss. I've been craving some schnitzel and found this place online. We started with the Giant Oktoberfest pretzel. It was pretty good but the cheese is a spread not a sauce and it was cold. Tasted alright but could have been better. My wife got the Schweitzer schnitzel which is almost like a cordon bleu but with pork. Pork, Black Forest ham and cheese. She said it was ok didn't have enough cheese but she really liked the potatoes. I had the Jager Schnitzel. It was hot and crispy with a tender center. The only complaint I have is it could have used more sauce. I agree with my wife the potatoes were really good. Nether of us ate the cabbage, it's just not our thing. Overall it was pretty good. If we have time to drive we would probably head to edelweiss but in a pinch this place will do. read more

I usually get the chicken schnitzel at Haus Murphy's. It's always delicious and never disappoints. For an appetizer, we tried the Haus Brot. It's a bread stuffed with ham and cheese. It was pretty tasty. They have a great selection of German beers too. I've tried the Warsteiner Dunkel and Hofbrau Lager. The service was friendly but expect to spend a decent amount of time there for a meal as the kitchen can be slow at times. They sometimes have live music with tubas and accordions. read more

Finally checked this place out and it was so fun! We went on a Friday night and it was probably the busiest place in downtown Glendale. They had live music playing! The food looked and smelled amazing but we just tried the pretzel - which was delicious! We got a flight of beer - I tried one from each category and loved them all. We were too full to try anything else - definitely come with an appetite for the full experience! We will be back! read more

It was rather busy when we got there. They were able to find a table in the back for us. I think there was only two waitresses working so it took awhile to be served. We got a pretzel with beer cheese to start. It was a little on the salty side for me but was really soft. Our food came out and I wanted just a little more gravy. I was charged &1 for the gravy and not advised of the charge. That is annoying. It was very loud in the place Until it seemed all but one of the tables left. The food was good, I will be back. However, I will try to go at a less busy time. read more

We had Reservations for 6pm for a party of 20 but it was downsized to 11 people. Our Server was Kaylie and she started out nice but we had people ordering drinks and asking about different items on the menu and that started to irritate her. We had Appetizers and they came out fairly soon but after about another hour sitting there, she came back out to check to see what 3 people in the party had ordered. So we politely asked her if they forgot the order or hadn't made it (We were going to just ask them to cancel the order at that time since we were all starving) and she told us that it was ordered & she just needed to verify it. She wrote down all our orders so she had her pad of paper she could have verified it truthfully with the kitchen. So it is going on about 8pm and the dishes start slowly trickling out. Mind you other parties have already been seated served and have left while we were waiting for our food. The food came out at all different temps, some meals were hot, some were just warm like they were sitting there or under a heat lamp. The Meatloaf was very dry and the Beef Roulade was extremely tough and had no flavor like I've had before there. She never came back to check to see how any of our meals were or how we were doing but sadly she complained about our table to the other waiters and bartender since we overheard it. The Bar area and outside seating area have gone down hill. They used to have strings of lights outside that ran over the table area which are gone and inside it used to be a little darker for a more authentic feel but that has all gone away. This was my Favorite place to come after Thanksgiving but the Service has drastically gone down hill and the food was not as genuine and delicious as years past! I'm not sure if Owners have changed or they don't care about the Restaurant like before but it definitely shows. Our bill of $489.00 wasn't cheap for the sub par experience & mediocre service. I hope you as the owners take these 1Star comments to heart and try to improve the Experience and Bring back the good German feel/food you used to have!! read more

In the historic section of Downtown Glendale, a block away from Murphy Park is Haus Murphy. Laid back and casual setting, diners here can enjoy a delicious, German meal; one of the best schnitzel I've tasted! Start off with the Bavarian Pretzel; the pretzel is incredible with the spicy mustard! Definitely order the Potato Pancakes! Crispy outside, delicious potato inside and serving it with sour cream and applesauce - amazing! If we didn't order dinner, our party would have ordered 2 more of these! I had the Jäger Schnitzel, so delish! More yummy potatoes and the red cabbage was tasty (don't knock it 'til you try it!)! Also, if you're not sure what biers to order, they offer a flight of 4 biers. Not sure which 4 to order, no problem, our server selected 4 for us and all tasted good. (Note: I'm not big on drinking beers, but this convinced me) Oh, and don't forget dessert! Can't go wrong with Strudels. But next time, I need to try the Black Forest Torte! Can't wait to come back here to dine again! read more

Tried this place based on a colleague's recommendation. We got the platter for 2 and Schnitzel sampler and it was more than enough food for 3 people it would probably feed 4-5 comfortably. The Schnitzels were all great, the meatloaf got mixed opinions from the group it definitely doesn't taste like the standard American meatloaf but it is authentic German food after all. I also tried their Grapefruit beer and it was probably one of the best I've had, though I don't drink much. I also loved the atmosphere it was quaint but clean and they had fun German music, I assume folk it wasn't pop or anything. The food did take awhile to come out but I take that as it being prepared from Scratch. They also offered me a nice little Streudel for my birthday which was also delicious. read more

Horrible customer service. I want to start by saying this is the most racist place I have ever been to. I walk in to use the restroom and right away a bus boy or server asked if we were customers we say yes we're at the bar. Than when I use the restroom again the boy walks into the restroom just to ask if we are paying customers. I was very confused why a man was in the girls restroom. I told him we're at the bar once again and I expressed the concern to another co worker and they just walked away. The first server boy or waiter was telling me and my sisters to get out of the restaurant. I don't even know how this place is still in business. read more

We were excited to try this place in Glendale after having made our first trip to Germany last month. However, the similar menu items to those in Germany are about the extent of the similarities. Here's the good: The waiter (a guy whose name eludes me) was very kind and friendly; he also kept our water filled. The menu was also very German. The potato salad are hot, cooked potatoes - they were good. Now, the not-so-good: The wait for our food was long. The kids mac-n-cheese looked like it had sat on the counter a while & was barely warm. The sauerkraut is nothing like in Germany - it was super sweet. Same with the red cabbage. The jalapeño cheddar brat was alright but the smoky beef brat was better. We would also have preferred the brats a little more browned on the outside. The chicken schnitzel was just okay. Also, the restaurant could have been more clean and some of the decor needs repair. Glad we tried the place but probably won't return. read more
