    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!

    Sauerkraut Puffs - bacon, cheese, and sauerkraut with curry sauce and sour cream
    Cheyanne B.

    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.

    Traditional Sauerbraten ($29.95) was ok - too salty for my preference - 6/10

    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!

    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!

    Absolutely amazing food! Beverages were great too! Prost...I had the schnitzel sampler and my wife had the chicken schnitzel. Both were great.

    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.

    Explanation of the Kirschwasser shot

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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

    What is on the breakfast menu?

    I went online to find this. Here's the link: https://hausmurphys.com/menu

    3rd one to ask - are their gluten-free options? I understand I cannot eat a pretzel or bread...but do the gravies have wheat? Is wheat flour added to the potato pancakes?

    Hello! I was just there on December 22nd. No there is not. The pretzel and the spaetzle are made with whole wheat flour. My husband loves it here tho!

    Do they allow dogs on the outdoor patio?

    Yes, we brought our dog and sat on the patio with him.

There's a genuine, laid-back energy here that you just can't fake, and it makes every visit feel like you're hanging out with friends rather than just grabbing a beer. A huge part of that comes from the people. Tiffany, the owner, has clearly built something special here--there's intention behind everything, and it shows. Deidra behind the bar is always attentive, on top of it, and great to talk to--she makes you feel taken care of without ever being over the top. And then there's Kyle...absolute character in the best way. The kind of bartender that brings personality to the place and makes every visit a little more memorable. The beer lineup is outstanding. Their in-house brews are dialed in, and if you know craft beer, you'll appreciate seeing things like Drekker sours on the guest tap list--hard to find and always a hit. And their Trick of the Light IPA from Throne? Absolute standout--crisp, balanced, and dangerously easy to keep going back for another. The food deserves just as much attention. The burgers are legit--juicy, flavorful, and cooked right every time. The sliders are perfect if you want to mix and match or just not commit to one thing, and the onion rings are next level--crispy, golden, and honestly some of the best you'll find anywhere. What really sets this place apart, though, is how unique it is to the area. It's not just another brewery--it's a true community spot. Places like this are rare, and they only stick around if people show up and support them. If you appreciate great beer, great food, and even better people, this is one of those spots you want to keep coming back to.

You can select up to two tastings, burgers come on pretzel or brioche bread and different flavors of French fries to choose from. The place was lively and we would definitely return.

We stopped on our way to check this spot out since we didn't know when we'd be in the area again. You won't find food at Cactus Taproom so if you're looking for a glass of whine, beer or a little of both this may be your spot. What caught my eye was they offer flights. I love flights because you get to try a little of quite a few to see what you like or don't. When we pulled into the lot I was surprised at how small it is. There is a bar of course, a handful of high top tables and a small patio. The place was packed. We somehow managed to snag the last available table. It was full of definite locals as many seemed familiar with each other. There was one man running the bar and though very busy he was friendly, patient and no one seemed to be having to wait long for drinks. The place was clean. I thought it was cool that they offered many fridges of different beers etc to purchase and take home or of course drink while there. If you read my reviews I love sour beers and this is part of why we came here. I tried both they had on tap and unfortunately wasn't a fan of either. We will have to come back and maybe try a few in the fridge section. I didn't want to try anything else and risk mixing wine etc. good local spot of just wanted to have a few drinks alone or with friends.

One of the waitresses remembers us every time we come in, which is awesome!

It is nice because it's right on the golf course so you can play a round of golf or do the driving range and come here after. The vibe of the place is very laid back and family friendly. You cannot bring dogs unless they are service animals so just keep that in mind. It is tucked away in Arrowhead Neighborhood, but GPS takes you right there. The parking lot does have potholes, but it's not a big enough deal to warrant a four star review. We will definitely be coming back again.
