Busy on a Saturday night of Labor Day weekend, but we were seated promptly. Five of us were squeezed in a booth. They were out of clams casino for appetizer. We got mozzarella sticks and wings for appetizers. Wings were plump and juicy. I ordered the whiskey chicken special that was very filling and delicious. They forgot our side salads and packed them up for us to take home. read more

Excellent hearty food! Recommended! We visited Murph's Hideaway for a 12 people family dinner while staying in Poconos in July 2024. The food was excellent and the portions were generous. We liked it so much that in just two days came back with a smaller crew and enjoyed it again :) They also had a good local beer on tap - Broken Heels Hazy IPA. We didn't catch live music but saw the band setting up. First time the service was a bit rough and for some reason they couldn't arrange us a single/combined table though I called in advance and made a reservation for 12 people. Second time our waitress was Carol and we got a great service. All was smooth and nice. We highly recommend Murph's Hideaway if you are in the area and looking for an excellent American bar/grill food. Food ordered Flat Basket wings - these are tiny but tender and delicious with really little fat. We found them better than regular bigger wings with much more fat. 12 Wings - regular buffalo wings. Tiny flats are better. Home Made Chili - excellent. Crock French Onion soup - I didn't expect much from a French Onion soup ordered in American grill restaurant. But this was surprisingly good! Key Largo Shrimp - good. Primavera flat bread - certainly pass on this one. The dough was pretty thick, far from "flat", and the toppings tasted like canned veggies. Cheesesteak Quesadilla and Buffalo Chicken Quesadilla - both were absolutely delicious! Fresh, juicy, with generous amount of filling. Philly Cheesesteak - good as it should be. Shepherd Pie - this one is restaurant's special and it was excellent according to few people in our party. I wish I could try it but it had pork which I don't eat. Burgers: Hawaiian Burger, Jack Burger, Cajun Bleu Burger - all were absolutely great! Generous 1/2 lbs they were, perfectly done as ordered (I had medium-rare), juicy, sizzling, and overall perfect! I want Murph's Hideaway's burger again! read more

We came here a lot when they opened but only for takeout. It was Covid. Their young so would bring out our food. We met him here tonight a few years older ! Husband had the stew and I had the chicken cavatappi with broccoli and sun dried tomatoes. Our service was great and they really did a nice job inside. The Irish pictures are a nice touch. Busy bar and a real nice neighborhood feel!! read more

Came for a quick meal and it's basically your average pub/bar food. Nothing amazing but not the worst that we've seen. Staff and service were friendly and nice. We got seated quickly ane the food came out quickly too. There were high chairs for the babies. read more

The wait staff and employees are super nice, so this is no reflection on them. I had the wings and some fries. As far as wings go, they were alright. Not terribly spicy, but it seems like their specialty is Irish food, so I won't hold it against them. My friends ordered Italian, and did not have much good to say about that, but again.. Irish specialty, so there might be some "when in Rome" happening with that. Go for the pub food and you should be golden. As far as the restaurant goes, it looks like a pub. That's because it is a pub.. so go have a pint and enjoy some pub food. read more

Music is entirely to loud. Can't possibly have a conversation with a person sitting next to me or hear the bartenders. Music selection is also very outdated and weak. Bartenders very good. read more

Pretty good food in the Poconos, where restaurants that please a lot of people are a bit few and far between. The space is quite big and we called about 15 minutes ahead with a party of 8, and were seated at a cool circle table where we could all share & see each other. Our server was also really nice and came by to check on us a couple times, and was accommodating with the menu & orders. Unfortunately, the food was not amazing - I tried the pierogis and mac and cheese, and while the pierogis were fine & decent, definitely felt frozen and reheated. The mac & cheese had no flavor and unfortunately I did not like it enough to take the leftovers home. We also all shared pretzel bites, which were okay but not what we expected (more like pieces of fried bread?). The other diners expressed being similarly underwhelmed with the food. Portions are big and the menu is massive but that also means a lot of the menu is probably pre-made or frozen - decent place for groups looking for a quick dinner in the Poconos though. read more

Great food and service!! Try the shepherds pie and Swedish meatballs and you wont be disappointed.

We love this restaurant!!! Seated our large party quickly even with a golf event going on. The restaurant has a nice atmosphere with a bar and family seating. Our waiter was spectacular, the food was very fast and hot! Even though it was busy we felt like we were a priority and didn't wait long for anything. The shepherds pie was to die for! Fish and chips could have fed two (but we ate it all). Despite being an Irish establishment (and it has the vibe of an Irish pub), the Italian chicken parm was a well spiced and lightly breaded chicken breast cutlet and the sauce was authentic. The chili was made with steak chunks and the proportion of tomato, beans and meat made it better than any homemade chili I can make (and I love my own chili). Portions were ample. Also got plenty of app- loved them all. I highly recommend and I'll go back again. We have a four night vacay and only will eat out twice and we will go back to this restaurant instead of going elsewhere because there is no reason to try something new when the food we've had is so amazing. Can't wait to go back! read more

Nice bar restaurant in the Poconos. Pretty big oval shaped bar full of locals watching sports. Nice varied menu with decent choices. I had linguine with seafood one night and a burger the next. A party of four and all of enjoyed our meals. Service was good. A good place to eat if you're in the area. Prices were very reasonable read more

We stopped by here with a large group one night when we were hankering for some food. The food is fine, will fill you up. They have good fries. Overall, a so-so experience. We came by because it is open later than other establishments in the area and the prices are reasonable. The staff is pretty friendly and they do try their best or make sure you have a good experience. The music that plays here is very unique and clubby, which doesn't match the atmosphere at all overall. I had a pleasant time. read more

Great to see that this place has garnered a loyal following! Live music on weekends brings out a fun crowd. Dinners come with a side salad with dressing "always" on the side. I sampled the Bangers and Mash. Very tasty and the side shredded fresh veggies were excellent. My other half had the penne and chicken. Not the kick and flavor that he was hoping for, but decent with extra cheese added. Beers on draft, friendly waitstaff, fun vibe. read more

Note first of all that some other Yelp reviews report that Murph's is only open for takeout during the pandemic, but as of some time ago, they added outdoor seating (and apparently indoor, although I wasn't interested in that and didn't explore it as a option). Reservations are probably a very good idea. During a visit on a Saturday night, with an 8:00 reservation, the outdoor tables were all filled. We found all the staff appropriately masked, and the outdoor tables were a comfortable distance apart. One disposable (paper) menu per table. Hand sanitizer dispenser at the entrance. This was my first visit to Murph's and they came through with what really mattered: Guinness stout on tap. They have other draft beers, including at least one IPA, as well as others that were of less interest to me. Also have some good choices in bottles, such as a Hop Devil IPA. Our server, Linda, was excellently attentive. She had some good recommendations for us, such as getting the Spinach Artichoke and Tomato Dip for the table (instead of different item - she was right, I think). We kept to the basic pub fare items on the menu and were not at all disappointed. The California Classic burger was enthusiastically approved by my deputy Yelper, who had had it before. The Cowboy Burger was noted to be cooked just as requested to a medium rare. The Fish and Chips platter was huge - some heavily battered fish, but still not too greasy or oily. Very fresh side salad. We had some substitution of cole slaw for fries, no additional charge, and the slaw was excellent. read more

Ordered take out while we stayed in the Poconos. Fish sandwich was crispy even after sitting in the container. Chicken Parm hero and spinach and artichoke dip was very good. Cesaer salad with salmon was good, salmon was cooked well. The sandwiches come with fries which we didn't know. read more

We are staying in Lake Harmony and decided to try Murf' Hideaway for dinner. The salmon salad and Phil cheesesteak were really good, as was the sangria. Our waiter Jon T could not have been nicer! We will be returning. read more

Came here for the outdoor seating but the ambiance is just ok. It might be better at night, with a band and string of lights. However, better than dining inside which seems stuffy and drab. I think this place might be better for some drinks than fine dining. The food was mediocre, I had the Shepard pot pie soup in a bread bowl but there was like only a small amount of the pot pie. Not worth it the price. My friends got fisherman's special and lobster ravioli and tasted like any frozen items would taste. Service was good, the hostess was very nice and accommodating. read more

This is a little hidden gem in the poconos. The food is delicious! We had fish and chips, shepard's pie, shrimp quesadillas. Each dish was served with a salad. Most drinks have free refills. The hostess was very friendly and helpful with recommendations. The atmosphere was friendly. The bar was hopping in the middle of the day. read more

We sat next to the window and I t was disgusting The dead flies (and live ones) were all over the window besides the caked on dirt on the blinds. Totally disgusting No thank you read more

Don't even know where to begin, i couldnt wait to leave this review. We went there for dinner and drinks as we own in an private community near by. The bartender was absolutely terrible, ignorant, trashy and rude. e had to flag her down just to get drinks and she literally nrolled her eyes at me. she was very unpresentable and looked very dirty. The food took forever to come out we almost walked out and when it finally got to us , it was cold and uncooked. i hear horror stories of sending it back so we didnt. The girls bathroom was so dirty, toilet paper all over the floors. Definitely will NOT be back...people DO NOT waste your money here read more

Fun spot with good music and food. I love the disco fries with gravy and cheese. The quesadillas and the wings are also really good. The bartenders, Crystal and Jen, are the best! They have your drink ready as you walk in the door! Great music and good people make this a must when you are in the Poconos read more

The food, service, and overall experience was exactly what we needed. We're from New York and knew nothing about the neighborhood restaurants. They poured a great Guinness, took care of a party of 11, never having to ask twice for anything, food came out so quick and hot. it was an overall a great experience. read more

Great service... server told us "everything is good, I'm serious!" She was right. Great food, great service, great atmosphere... so happy we found it. We'll be back! read more

Food is always great and prices are reasonable. Plenty of space, I never feel crowded, when it's warm out I love the outside dining area. I always have a great time there, and love jokinging with the staff if it's not too busy, they are really funny ! Definitely my favorite! read more

Usually a great place. Everyone is nice and polite. Chicken quesadillas are great. Mozzarella sticks suck. Pretzel bites are avg Nachos are avg , French dip sandwich is great. It's loud by the bar which is good or bad depending who I bring there. I can't tell if the Philly steak is good because when I ordered it it was very blan and didn't have flavor but half way through I realized it was chicken. It was hard to tell with the cheese , onions , peppers ect. When we finally realized it I ate half and told the waitress and brought it back to the cook and manager but she noticed it was actually her that put it in wrong. She offered to give me a steak to bring home but by then I didn't want anything because I was nauseous from the chicken. So I just left it there. Bill was not adjusted to take chicken steak off. Food already took forever two parties with more people got their food before us. read more

We thoroughly enjoyed our meal..We were seated outside on the new deck. Scott was our server. Food was delicious, plentiful, and very reasonable. For what other restaurants charge for a hamburger we had a delicious and complete dinner. I had a grilled porkchop with an excellent pepper and onion loaded sauce ( you could recognize these vegetables) with a homemade and delicious mound of mashed potatoes that never saw a box or frozen bag. My friend had plentiful and delicious veal Parmigian over a bed of linguine. Both had delicious salads. And the vodka was kettle for a good poor. My yingling draft was perfect. Scott was an excellent server and was attentive to our service dog as well as to my friend who is recovering from a major illness and needed to negotiate the exit pathway. An excellent customer experience. We'll be back read more
