Tired facility, pretzel and fries and brats are good, but everything else is not good. I love red cabbage normally but this was so sweet we couldn't eat it. So disappointed. read more

I'm fond of German food, but this place is not great. Interior shabby with odd multi small room layout. My go to dish trying a new German restaurant is sauerbraten. This version was a single slice of tough meat covered in wallpaper paste way too dark "gravy" with an odd aftertaste. The Spätzle was also tough with a different off flavor, while the potato salad was indifferent. As I was leaving, I used the men's room which was dirty, as was the prep kitchen I walked by. Overall, yuck! read more

I attended a UYE (Unofficial Yelp Event) here and I have to say that Haus Murphy's pretty much wowed all 20 or so of us! It has taken me over a week to get to the review. I was still reflecting on the German meatloaf, red cabbage and Weihenstephaner Hefeweizen. How do you say, "Damn that was good!" in German? I have new found respect for German cuisine thanks to Chef Hoffman (not sure about the spelling there). The fubar of Yelpers (I am pretty sure that is the correct term for a large gathering of Yelpers) dined on the patio which is a great space. Service was very good throughout the meal. There was quite a bit of sharing going on and although I don't remember everything I tried, it was all really good. It was great to see so many friends and meet some new Yelpers like Norm! read more

Love this place, eating inside or out with or without music, food is great and so Is the grapefruit beer.

Stumbled upon this place while driving to the Chocolate Festival. My husband was thrilled as he LOVES German food. We decided to have lunch here after checking out the festival. Being a lovely warm and sunny day we decided to sit outside....which is very cool...nicely decorated, big picnic tables and plenty of sunlight. I ordered the Hackbraten (German Meatloaf) which was very good, the mashed potato and red cabbage were superb! With this I of course had to try a German beer.....I asked the waiter what he would recommend, he asked what type of beer I like and I said usually the darker ones...he recommended the Franziskaner Dunkel - an unfiltered dark wheat beer, dark roasted malt with a smoky roasted grain finish .... a great recommendation as it was just perfect with my meal. My husband who is constantly craving Weisswurst Sausages was finally at peace having found it on the menu. He insisted I try some of his and said it would melt in my mouth....wow!...it actually does melt in your mouth....delicious. Our waiter was awesome as he knew everything on the menu so he was very helpful as well as very friendly and a great photographer! Everything you need in a waiter : ) The German music playing in the background was really festive and added to the great atmosphere. We will definitely be back! read more

Last Thursday I had the pleasure of joining a bunch of Yelpers at a UYE here. I had not been here in over 10 years and they have move East on Glendale a bit since then. At that time they were out of sauerbraten so they served us a stew of sorts that wasn't on the menu and I remember it being quite good and large plates of food. I still desired to try their sauerbraten so that is what I ordered. It comes with a potato dumpling, gravy, and red cabbage. I expect a piece of beef marinated for three days to not require a knife to cut and to have some flavor of it's own before dowsing it in gravy, and sauerbraten I have had before met this. This one to me was quite chewy and the gravy too sweet. Gravy is one of those things that just because I think it is too sweet doesn't make it bad or improperly made, it just didn't suit my taste. If I had liked the gravy better it would have improved my image of the dumpling which, without gravy, was sort of tasteless. The red cabbage was just as I expected and have had before. Now that I have grumbled about my meal. I got a bite of a big pretzel two of which the restaurant comped us. I thought it was a bit salty but overall a very pleasant surprise. I chose to try mine with butter. The bread pudding was delicious, I chose the small size and it was easily enough for two to share, but I ate it all anyway. :-) All of this food was washed down with a good tasting Spaten lager. The service was pretty good, especially for our large group. And they were willing to split the checks, which even with a party of about 18 did not have the mandatory added gratuity, although I doubt if anybody in our party tipped less than 18% because they was nothing wrong with the service to warrant a poor tip. The owner didn't introduce himself but he did make a couple of appearances on the patio to see how things were going. I could easily be enticed to come back to the patio and enjoy a beer. I think I would opt for one of the appetizers like a pretzel or the potato pancakes to soak the beer up with. read more

This is probably the most old school authentic German restaurant that I have ever been to, and it is suuuuper cute, both inside and out. It is located in downtown Glendale, and it is a great spot to stop at either before or after a Cardinals game or if you are simply on the west side of Phoenix. The outdoor seating area is a cool spot to hang out in if the weather is nice. All the food I have had there is absolutely delicious - I have tried several of their sausages, schnitzel, stuffed mushrooms, pork dishes, etc... and I LOVE LOVE LOVE their sauerkraut & spaetzle!! The service is always pretty decent, and the overall ambiance of the restaurant is great - very relaxed, chill, and usually the managers are quite attentive... they will typically personally come check on you and ask if everything is okay, and make sure you enjoyed your meal!! :) If you love German food ... you should definitely try this place out, because it is AWESOME & AUTHENTIC!! read more

As a German, I am very picky with my German food. We went here for dinner last Saturday evening. Jack ordered the pork shank which was decent though certainly not as good as some. They were out of my first choice, Sauerbraten, so I got the Nürnberger Sausages with Sauerkraut. The sausages were a little larger than they are supposed to be. They were not grilled enough and the flavor was way to mild, diluted one could say. The Kraut was somewhere in between the more sour Frankfurt style and the sweeter Nürnberg style. Our friend had the Gulasch. It had a nice sauce but the meat was dry. But they had good German Schnaps (we had Obstler) and Beer. read more

Not much omm pa pa in this German restaurant. Ach du lieber. My dad was career military and our family was stationed in Heidelberg, Germany for several years, while I was a teenager. I was fortunate for many things, among them the ability to enjoy a wide variety of tasty and authentic German foods. I miss the German comfort food from my youth. That's why I was so excited to hear about Haus Murphy. Not only is it located nearby, in the Phoenix area, it has also been featured on Diners, Drive-ins and Dives - so it must be good, right? Well, actually, not so much. I ordered the Schweizer Schnitzel, pork loin with sliced ham and cheese. Sounds scrumptious, but was actually a bit dry and I'm not sure I could have detected the ham and cheese unless I knew it was (supposed to be) there. My husband had the Chicken Schnitzel with white wine mushroom sauce. Even though I'd never heard of chicken being made into a schnitzel, it was better than mine. Entrees include a side of German potatoes and also Wirsing (creamed cabbage) both good. In addition, we ordered a side of red cabbage (great) and also spatzle noodles (fair). The live omp pah band had good intentions, but was so loud it disturbed the customers. I heard one customer ask the waiter to please move the band away from their table because it was making for an unpleasant dining experience. Overall, nothing horrible, nothing great, I won't be returning. read more

What a fascinating place! I was here from out of town and was excited to have something I have never had before. None of the authentic menu items were things I had experienced. I had the Jager Schnitzel, which was delicious. We were there around 7:45 and they were out of chicken schnitzel and beef roulade. Arrive early to get the popular stuff! read more

So far, I can only review the bar for this place, but that's all one needs to be sold on Haus Murphy's. Virtually anything and everything I could think of was stocked in the dense cabinets, and the tap selection was amazing. Amazing, I tell you! Now, I've never had German beer, but my Dunkel Optimiser hit the spot and packed quite a punch. Would drink again, especially since you can get it as a 32. oz. Are you up to that challenge? Of course, the overall atmosphere also rocks. I've walked by here a million times and seen the live polka and such. Consider this a place a glimpse of a culture you won't see too often around these parts. Can't wait to tell you about the food! read more

I really loved the homey feeling of this place. Very comfortable and extremely friendly but the food, meh.. it was hit and miss. Their brown gravy tasted like something from a grade school cafeteria which was a real let down. The potato dumpling bland and their 'giant' pretzel was smaller than the kind you get from snack bars. Also they no longer have rye bread with herb butter.. they use some bought dinner rolls, pretty lame! Now the good stuff.. the Bauernplatte for two was awesome! Heaping helping of sausages, kraut and friend taters.. was wonderful! The German potato salad was the best Ive had, just great! So all the little stuff really took its toll for me on this place.. perhaps it was an off night for the kitchen? Its a pretty far drive to find out. read more

I have been to Haus Murphy's twice and both time I was very disappointed with their food. Their Schnitzel was just horrible so was the Schweinebraten. The owner should seriously send his cooks to Germany for a week so they will have a better idea on what to serve. While the service and atmosphere is quite good I would not recommend unless you just going there for Beer. read more

Haus Murphy's was featured on Diners, Drive-in's, and Dives. I'll start out by saying that my favorite thing about Haus Murphy's is the originality of the place. I've never been to Germany, but it felt like what I imagine Germany to be like. Everything from the decor, to the menu, to the beers on tap had a great German vibe to it. I decided to order the German Bratwurst. The German Brat came on a plate with sauerkraut and German Fried Potatoes. The Bratwurst had a great flavor to it and I'd have to say that it's probably the best brat I've ever had. It was very tender with a ton of flavor. The German Fried Potatoes were pretty good, but nothing special. I loved the tapped beer selection. I love dark beer so I ordered the darkest beer on tap, which is Spaten Optimator. It wasn't as dark as I had hoped, but was very good and had a high alcohol content. The highlight of the meal was dessert. The bartender suggested that I try the Sauerkraut Chocolate Cake, which sounded so unique, that I had to try it. It was a great piece of cake, very large, very sweet, and very rich. You wouldn't have known that it was Sauerkraut cake, as it only had a very slight hint of the kraut. A very unique dining experience along with a pretty darn good meal gives Haus Murphy's an above average rating of four stars. read more

After I secured the deal on my Bayern filly I was starving and thought to continue German traditions. The exterior looks absolutely fantastic! And so does the interior! With girls in German dress which looks very sexy :) Now, there was a guy John who rocked! Patient, polite, funny and quick. He would tell stories to entertain customers. His manner to bow was so elegant. He is from Germany, so I was able to learn a little about that wonderful country. I ordered the beef roulade and I loved it! I also liked how the portion was sized, not too big so I got no left overs. It takes time for me to come back to the restaurants I've been to but I already want to visit that place again :) read more

Great patio for an afternoon lunch. We took our dogs and the wait staff was very nice to them, they bought a large bowl of water right away and made sure we had plenty of shade. The food was great, We started with stuffed mushrooms, the sausage stuffing in them was terrific and we really enjoyed them, I had the Sauerbraten and my husband had the Paprika Schnitzel for our entrees. Both were flavorful and tasty and the portions were quite large. We did manage to save enough room to split a dessert and had the bread pudding, it was delicious. Can't wait to go back and try some of their other offerings. read more

It disheartens me to feel the need to write this review because the recovery for the service(there was no recover) my partner and I received was as horrible as the service. We were immediately greeted and sat with drink orders taken, then we sat and waited while another server wizzed by helping her tables while my partner and I were left ignored. After 10 minutes of waiting we were finally approached by our server to have our order taken. We realized we forgot to order additional items and ended up having to go to the bar around the corner to order, from none the less our server. Our entire order was brought out by another server, and my order was wrong. When it was brought to the attention of the server, he let me know he thought I had ordered a different item when he previously confirmed my order with the item I had ordered. After waiting an additional 10+ minutes I rounded the server station and let someone know how bad the service I received was and how I just wanted a box and my check. The server responsible for our table, didn't ask why we were upset, didn't, try to rectify anything, charged us in full even thought my order was wrong, and we spent probably around a grand total for 45-50 minutes of just waiting for any type of service. I understand being short staffed, I work in this industry, but it's upsetting when I spend money I work extremely hard for to be ignored and not be communicated with my server. If I was told servers were short staffed things were taking longer, this entire experience would be different. But for my partner and I to spend over $75 dollars just to be treated poorly from beginning to end. I'm infuriated. read more

Not the newest place but good homemade German food. It has a lot of outdoor sitting. Parking on side streets.

Personally, I felt like the food was not that great. My chicken was dry and the sauce was too cheesy. So if you're into cheesy stuff then I guess you'll like the mushroom sauce over the chicken. The potatoes was honestly very soggy and gross. As for the sauerkraut, it was so nasty. The taste didn't even taste like sauerkraut... I don't know what it was honestly.. I'm disappointed with the food here. The service was not that great either. Our waitress was very straight forward. I asked for more crackers and she literally threw it on the table without saying anything. She was very slow and not that attentive. I would come back again but I probably get something different to try.... Maybe their pretzel cause it looked really good. read more

#WVFN rolled in to Haus Murphy's last night. For starters, they have proper 32oz glasses, so they're already a hit in my book. Started the eating part of the night with a couple giant pretzels. Giant is correct; the thing was as big as my head! And big, puffy, salty, and delicious! With the brown mustard, it was definitely a hit! We ordered the Bauernplatte, which is listed as a combo for two, but handily accommodated three of us. The schnitzel was delicious, the german fried potatoes were delicious, bratwurst was ok. I avoided the red cabbage because I'm not a fan, but the other diners stated it was fantastic. Beer: Weihenstephan Hefeweizen was everything a wheat beer should be; rich and full-bodied, but not too heavy, with a very light citrus attribute. Franziskaner Weissbier was phenomenal! Delicious, rich, perfect. Franziskaner Dunkel was superb. Can't wait to sample the remainder of their selections. The live music was really awesome. They have a nice patio, with misters, so even in the summer it should be pleasant. I would never have guessed a place like this existed in Glendale. Now that I'm aware of its existence, I will certainly try to return. read more

My first time here to an Oktoberfest. Fun, fun, fun. A traditional German band leads everything from drinking songs (repetitive chants of, "Raise your stein") to dance events, stein holding contests, etc. You get the picture. But how they convert the back 40 of this small, downtown-Glendale, German restaurant to a beer garden is something to be applauded. The weather is perfect in late October, the music transcending, the food fantastic and the beer and wine free-flowing. Well-done Haus Murphy's, well-done. read more

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

I've wanted to try this place for almost 2 years now but I don't get to the west valley too much. Today we celebrated a friend's graduation and he wanted to come here. What an awesome place. Very nice and spacious with a beer garden outside with a stage and the inside feels very homey. We came on a Thursday around 2:30 and we got seated immediately. We started out with their Original Oktoberfest Pretzel to share. Man was that good. Served with a side of cheese and their house made spicy mustard. I could eat 3 of those they were that good. For lunch I tried the Schweizer Schnitzel. It's a pork tenderloin fried golden brown with black forest ham and swiss cheese on top. It is served with a side of German potatoes and Wirsing. I've never had Wirsing. It was cooked cabbage with bacon and herb cream cheese. I'm not a fan of cooked cabbage and let me say I could eat a plate of Wirsing. The whole meal was fabulous and our waitress was excellent. I saw this restaurant featured on Triple D and I knew I had to try it. I will be back to Haus Murphy's. It's a long drive from where I live but worth it. A great place to have authentic German food done right and with a great atmosphere to boot. read more

This place is great fun. Who would have thought you could feel like you were at a German beer garden while in downtown Glendale. Sitting outdoors under the string lights and German beer flags just made you thirsty for beer! Nice selection of draft beers, all were tasty and available in 16 or 32 oz size. Had sausage sampler with very good sauerkraut . Fresh pumpernickel and rye bread to munch on. Simple dinner salads. Tried two types of schnitzel, both were great, wanted to order the gnocchi but they just ran out and then had the chicken Marsala which was just OK. They had two accordion players playing classic tunes like the "chicken dance song" and "it's a small world after all". Mmm good polka music and beer. This place does close at 9, otherwise it would be a great place to hang out all night. Will go back again for sure. read more

This is hands down the best German food I've had in Arizona. Super friendly service and the food tastes amazing. Highly recommend the chicken schnitzel and don't forget to ask for wirsing (German cabbage in a cream sauce. It's delicious). I will say the staff is usually busy so there is a bit of a wait for your food but it's worth it! If the weather is nice sit outside and they take reservations so call ahead! We've been at least 6 times in the last year and keep going back every time we have family in town or are just craving some good food! read more

It took me a while to realize my vision of dining at Haus Murphy's. I first became aware of them from watching Diners, Drive-Ins & Dives on Food Network. In fact, I stole their paprika gravy recipe when hosting an Oktoberfest dinner party at my house. It was delicious over home-cooked schnitzel. I had to guess on amounts of ingredients, since Guy Fieri does the superfast play-by-play on the cooking process, but it worked out just fine. So I'm quite familiar with German food and have even pickled and cooked my own sauerbraten (sour beef roast). I had to try the sauerbraten at Haus Murphy's! In a nutshell, I have to say that Haus Murphy's has delicious, authentic-tasting German food. The rotkohl (red cabbage) is right-on-the-money and the sauerkraut is truly fabulous. The sauerbraten was also very good... tender, slow-cooked, and thinly-sliced with just enough twang to wake you up. My buddy ordered the steamed smoked pork chops which were porkaliciously snarfable. I do have some critical notes on what didn't work, however. The spätzle (mini noodle/dumplings) were uninteresting and watery. Didn't have the remarkable fluffy but chewy texture I expected (and yes, I've made my own spätzle). The sauerbraten, while delicious, simply suffered from being too tiny of a portion. I think even if they charged an extra buck or two, it would be worth it, but this was not a fair dinner-size portion. My buddy even had pity on me and let me share his pork chops (which were a generous portion). So five stars for food and service and beer selection, but I have to hold back one star for residual hunger pangs. I will definitely be back to dine here again. But if I want to get full next time, I'm gonna load up on the pork! (As you may not know, pork is considered a vegetable in Germany...) read more

Talk about a turn for the worse. Tonight I had the most awful service of my several years of going to Haus Murphy on a regular (at least once a month!) basis. If you read my previous review, you'll see how happy I was up until this point, but that's changed after tonight. What happened? First the service was slow. Then the service became nonexistent. Were they busy? Not more than normal. Was our server overburdened? Not that I could tell. She was, however, absent minded and uncaring. Example? Our server brings our drinks and wanders off to other tables, not even asking (or caring, apparently) if we were ready to order at that point, which we of course were. Just plops down the drinks and leaves without a word. What the heck is that? My wife wants to substitute French fries for the potatoes, which she doesn't care for. We've done this a hundred times before, never ever been a problem. But tonight, with this server? "Oh there are no substitutions. It's printed on the menu here..." and she proceeds to point it out to my wife, even though I've just told her we have never had an issue getting it substituted and that we're long time repeat customers. Totally over her head. So she says to my wife, "Is it okay if they put it on the side?" referring to the fries. Of course, why wouldn't it be? So we get our food, fries come as a side order and there was no substitution. Our server later shows up when we're more than half done with our meal and asks if we want refills. I say yes, so she takes both of our drinks and walks off. She never returned with them. About 15 minutes later, after we're both finished eating, she comes by and has the unbelievable nerve to ask how everything is going, oblivious to the fact that there are no drinks on the table at all. I told her, bluntly, that it would have been much better if she'd brought our drinks back before we finished the food. "Oh, sorry," is her only response. She brings the drinks in 10 seconds flat, no follow up apology, no nothing. Another long delay, then I get the bill. Naturally they charged us extra for the fries rather than substituting. Mind you, she never told me that they would do that. Incensed, I go to the front to complain to a manager. I speak with a manager up there. I explain to said manager about the situation, to which she rudely and flatly responds, "Yeah that's right, there's no substitutions," and gives me this stare like I was babbling nonsense or something. I point out that I was not told we would be charged so she has the server come over and tell me, "No, I told you, remember? I asked if you were okay having it on the side." What?! That's not the same as asking if you can charge me extra. I tell her this, to which she responds, bluntly, "Well, that's what I meant." I paid the bill and left without giving her any tip at all. I really, really hate to do that, but if you're going to insult my wife's intelligence, take our drinks and not bring them back until we're done eating and then have the gall to refuse removal of a charge you did not tell me about, you're dreaming if you think you're getting a tip. I cannot begin to put into words just how upset this whole thing has made me. I loved this place, as is obvious from the earlier version of this review. The thought of never going back makes me sick, but so does the way my wife and I got treated tonight. I'm not going back until I get some kind of explanation and an apology from the server and the manager. I did give one of the owners a complete run down of what happened and I'm hoping something will come out of that. Will definitely update this review accordingly as that progresses, but right now they are getting the 1-star they deserve. read more

We have been here many times over the years and the food is consistently good. Last night we took an out of town visitor there for dinner to enjoy the beautiful AZ weather by sitting outside and have a few beers. They had their Oktoberfest menu which is about 8 entree options from their regular menu and 2 appetizer options. They didn't budge from this because when I asked for a side of spätzle I was shot down. Despite it not being packed they were also serving dinner on plastic plates because of the crowds we were told. We walked in at 6:45 on A Saturday night and were seated immediately so that argument didn't really hold up with me but I didn't let it bother me. I had the chicken schnitzel which was delicious! My husband had the paprika schnitzel and our guest the German bratwurst. A couple rounds of Spaten put a smile on everyone's face. We should have ordered the pretzel appetizer but we were smart and passed because there was no way we could have eaten that and managed to finish the huge portions they serve for the entrees. The restaurant itself inside could use some freshening up but if you go when the weather is nice you can sit outside and not worry about it. read more

Part of my family is German and let me say this is definitely authentic food! The food is good and the beers are large. Everything is large. When you go, be prepared to take home a lot of food. I ordered the wiener snitzel and when it came I was overwhelmed. It fed me dinner for three nights! The service was friendly but a bit confused. They didn't ask if we were ready to order, we had to ask to order and then they didn't ask the whole table but went back and forth putting orders in one at a time. My friend had the kilometre, which was a huge sausage with a bit of spice to it. It was about 2 feet long! The atmosphere is cute and very pub like. The waiters are all dressed in German attire and they are playing German music. I would return again. read more

Deliciousness 3.5/5 Happiness 4.5/5 I enjoyed this place far more than I anticipated. It is a very pork-heavy menu (which I don't eat), but the beef sausage and chicken schnitzel were good. What were really outstanding were the garlic soup (I even ordered an extra bowl... in 100 degree heat!) and giant pretzels (a seasonal offering. Too bad since it was one of the best pretzels I've ever had). But let's be honest, you come here for the beer. It's expensive, but it's the real McCoy (or, because it is a German restaurant, the real Uter? Yay Simpsons!). Plenty of German ale selections I hadn't even heard it. Yes, they had a beer boot. No, I was not able to chug it all at once despite my best efforts. The drinks are delicious, especially when enjoyed in their outdoor patio. This is a pretty unique place with some very authentic German food and beer. Definitely nice for a change to the fare offered by most restaurants. read more

I ventured out to Haus Murphy's since it's not far from my office and I was looking for a good Reuben and a Yelp'er had noted they had a good Reuben. The atmosphere at Haus Murphy's is very nice out on the patio (i didn't make it inside) and down town Glendale adds to it's ambiance. So let's get to the Reuben. Average, and over priced at $9.95. It came with German potato salad that i like but for the price and service I don't think I will be back for lunch. When you consider that wholesale corn beef cost $3.49 / pound and they put less than a 1/4 pound on the sandwich it was very disappointing. And the German potato salad was good but come on potatoes are cheep. Is it just because Glendale is a high rent district? Well the Haus of Murphy may have a lot going for it but it's not going to win over the casual lunch crowed that's for sure. read more

Where else can you sit outside for a nice lunch, guaranteed shade, full bar, and feel like you're back in Germany - Haus Murphy's. We were greeted by a nice German lady who warned us of a couple of sweat bees that were wanting a taste a beer but weren't interested in the people. No bother. They left us alone. Lunch was great! I had a daily special sandwich that was hackbraten on grilled rye bread. I can't remember what it was called. My hubs is a sucker for Sauerbraten. Also ordered a plate of potato pancakes. Best pancakes we have found, ever. My mom and step dad aren't impressed with this place as they used to be and they live in the area but I had to see for myself. It's too bad their experiences aren't what we had. We loved it. Also tried the new Schoffhofer grapefruit beer. I am on the hunt for this stuff now. It's so good! I handed my hubs the keys and ordered another. Too bad we cannot get the beer here in Michigan. The bill was a little hefty but we weren't watching it and it was worth the wonderful afternoon of leisurely lunching with the old folks on a weekday afternoon. There isn't a large selection of German restaurants in the Valley but you don't need anymore more when you have Haus Murphy in downtown Glendale. read more

I was reading the reviews about haus murphy after my dad had made the reservations for the night. Good reviews so I was looking forward to having dinner there Started off with a brown lager beer which was very good. My sister got the unfiltered wheat beer. Very good choices to unwind and relax after walking around the town square seeing the Christmas lights For appetizers we did the stuffed mushrooms and the soft Bavarian pretzel with the spicy mustard. Wow. The mushrooms were perfect and very tasty. The pretzel is huge and the mustard was a good addition to the pretzel. Make sure you order both when you go there. Next thing that came was the chefs soup which comes with the main course. Cream of mushroom soup. It was OK. All of us decided to have the meatloaf with sautéed green beans and German potato salad. I know we should have tried something different to get a good selection but the meatloaf sounded great. I tell you what. It did not disappoint anyone at the table. Very good. Only thing I wish I would have tried is some of the desserts but after the mushrooms, pretzel and the meatloaf, all of us were stuffed. I think it would be a good idea to just go there for desserts. Good choice for dinner. read more

We wanted to celebrate the beginning of Oktoberfest and decided to treat ourselves to some German beers and German food at Haus Murphy's on a Saturday early evening. We requested to sit in the bar area because we find it more lively than the restaurant area (and on this particular visit there was a polka band playing in the bar area). To start, we had their giant pretzel. It was baked to perfection. Then, we elected to split their dinner platter for two (the one on the regular menu, not the one on the specials menu, can't remember the exact name). The platter included soup for each of us, which was a creamy chicken florentine - I am usually not a chicken florentine fan but it was really tasty. The platter was perfect to fulfill both of our Sausage and Schnitzel cravings. We also loved the potatoes, weird noodle things (?) and cabbage and sauerkraut that accompanied it.
