The food was awful. I ordered fish and Chios. Ghe coleslaw wS old and tough, the coating on the deep fried cod was limp and slid right off. The french fries were limp. My husband ordered the corn beef and cabbage. The corn beef was very dry, the cabbage was old and the potato was nothing to write home about. We had brought a friend from Florida and were so disappointed. The tab was over $70 and my husband and I both took our dinners home and promptly threw them out. Never again! read more

This place is a nice local restaurant that we have been to several times before. They seem to have traditional bar food with an Irish flare. We are vegetarian so the Maurice salad works as well as our vegetarian pizza. Wish they had a few more vegetarian options like a burger. Their onion rings are crisp and nice & hot. It's a good place to watch a game or have a Drink. We will return again. read more

I reviewed this place 4 years ago. They have added a lot of gluten free options. Their club and dinty moore sandwiches are so good on their gf bread. Their pizzas are really good too. I have asked for double cheese so the pizza wouldn't be burnt but both times I asked for this, I got home and was disappointed. Great staple if you are in the area. Love this place. read more

Went for dinner tonight and it was excellent. I had the Mac and cheese with pulled pork and it was probably the best I've ever eaten. Husband had all you can eat fish and chips and he said it was excellent, too. The service was perfect. Managers (owners?) were at our table 3 times checking to make sure everything was to our liking. Waitstaff was right there when we needed them and friendly. I loved the understated Halloween decorations! read more

My Mother and I had dinner there last night, which was Friday. We both ordered the all you can eat fish & chips. I had recently been ill, so this was my first real meal in a while. Let me tell you, the food was outstanding! The fish was so fresh & cooked to perfection. The batter was light, crispy & absolutely perfect! We had the coleslaw and the clam chowder to accompany our meal. The soup was amazing, & the coleslaw was fresh & delicious. Our server was fantastic, and very friendly. The gentleman in charge even checked in on us. Everything from the food to the service was perfect. They have gained new customers! Well done to the entire crew. And thank you so much for the hospitality! Cheers! read more

A quaint hotel full of antiques and lovely amenities. Better yet, the bar and food are terrific and the staff are friendly and provide great service. Try the pizza-- the crust was perfect-- or the chicken tenders. read more

What a cute little find in the city of St. Clair. We had some time to hop around the area prior to a wedding nearby. The Murphy Inn is a historical site. We decided to grab a drink or two before heading out. I of course ordered my vodka/soda and my friend ordered a diet and coconut rum. He also decided to kick off our day with an Irish Car Bomb!!! We decided to order some food before hopping around to a few other places. The bartender suggested the sampler with came with potato skins, corn beef eggrolls, onion rings, and mozz sticks. We enjoyed the platter especially the corn beef eggrolls...those were legit. If you are in the area, stop and check it out. read more

Five of us went to dinner. It's Monday, so it wasn't busy at all. We had a new waitress, she was good and attentive. She wasn't able to answer all questions but acknowledged it and and quickly got answers to questions. I had the "build your own" nachos. Pretty skimpy on the cheese and as the add on sour cream was ridiculously small for the add on price of $1.79. It was like a dab of butter. Chips were fresh. I've had better nachos there before. This time, I wouldn't recommend them to some one. Others at table had the Cajun Alfredo, larger portion but noodles were over cooked and mushy. Another order was baked macaroni and cheese. No complaints on that and the portion looked large and came with a house salad and home made bread. No complains on the Rueban sandwich or the onion rings. The shrimp was on the smaller size and a little over cooked. Again, waitstaff was good and friendly. Food was subpar for a Monday, been there before and had much better food. read more

Murphy Inn - Sorry, I started eating before snapping picture. As you can see, not a whole lot of cheese of all of the chips. - Hotels Near Me - Saint Clair, Michigan

Monday half off pizza is a great deal. Good food overall. Awesome service and management!

Had lunch today and my Wife ordered Chicken Casadilla (Mexican Thursday". and l had a Dinty Moore ,a glorified corned beef sandwich. It was the best sandwich l have ever had in the State. And l don't want to forget our Waitress 'Katy' .l also want to mention the chef of course,she was excellent. The Restaurant was well positioned to provide a safe lunch without concern of potential Health danger. Keep up the good work, looking forward. read more

This is a cute little place is St Clair. There is a lot of history behind this restaurant / inn. It had a nice feel when you enter. If you're in the area, worth the stop in. I went with the cheeseburger and it was okay. Not the best I've, but tasty nonetheless. It did have a good "charcoal/grill" flavor that I enjoyed. I should have asked for it to be cooked medium and I think it would have been perfect. The chips were so so, kind of the standard house made chips. My buddy went with the Italian sub and he said it was good. They also have a fun burger challenge that you may want to try if you're up to it. read more

I don't know what has changed but we got pizza the last few times and all the toppings are in the middle...ordered extra sauce, but doesn't seem to be on it... drove 20 minutes one way and very disappointed!

Their pizza is the best loaded with toppings of your choice super cheesy its a small but fun place to go dine and have drinks always awesome specials on read more

Place had no parking .... Guess it was because of the boat races. It wasn't really that busy when we arrived. There was a van blasting music parked on the corner that had a weirdo sitting on the bench out front. Not a great image. We we sat I. The far back corner by the restrooms.....probably the smallest table in there. Service was slow at best. The big issue I that I got FOOD POISONING from the pizza. Most likely the sausage on it. Girlfriend had a pizza too but only cheese. Place is kinda dirty. Don't recommend at all. read more

Murphy's isn't the best restaurant I've ever eaten at. The menu selection is varied and the food is moderately good. I do enjoy the atmosphere as we prefer to sit on the dining side instead of the bar side, which tends to get a bit noisy. We were disappointment the last time because my husband's dinner was completely cold, not just lukewarm, but cold. (Didn't the waitress notice this when she brought it to him??) He patiently waited for her to return it to the kitchen, while I finished my dinner in the meantime. By the time his dinner came back (warm this time), I was done, so I waited for him to eat. The pizza is ok, but not terrific. We like spinach and feta cheese on our pizza and Murphy's doesn't offer those items. The French onion soup has a bit too many croutons, leaving little broth and the cheese isn't hot and melty the way it should be. The salad dressings are standard issue, nothing spectacular. Like I said, not bad, but not fantastic either. I'd give them more stars if the food was a bit better and had more choices. I can't complain about the service though. It's always been good. read more

Clean rooms. Good food. Stayed here twice so far. Pizza is awesome. Got light cheese second time. Perfect. Wings charbroiled are juicy and flavorful. Loved the wings. Perch and harvest salad was good as well. read more

I really enjoyed the food. The black bean soup and the Dover Style Cod were great. They were flavored well enough on their own. It has a fun Irish pub feel to it. The wait staff were friendly and the locals at the bar were well behaved considering the Michigan Michigan State game was on. This is a good place to stop at in St. Clair. read more

The food was great! Kendell, our waitress, was amazing! Will definitely be visiting again soon!

We have been here twice, both times on the weekends, late afternoon. In both cases the food was mediocre it beggars the imagination. The fried shrimp was pre frozen breaded stuff that you can buy in the bargain section of any grocery store. We had well cooked red skin potatoes that were ice cold. A previous visit had sandwiches so lame you would have been embarrassed to serve them to the teenagers next store. We had to ask both times for glasses and cutlery from indifferent wait staff in a half full dining room. It was cheap but it was not worth the money. We will never go back. read more

I ordered carry out tonight and was extremely disappointed. I literally got a handful of lettuce, two tomato quarters and 4 slices of chicken for $14. Half of the toppings on the menu weren't even on the salad like stated. I don't even know how the person making that thought for the price they should even send that home with someone. read more

Had a business commitment in the saint clair area on a Sunday afternoon, we were driving home afterwards. Thankfully our crazy governor finally allowed restaurants in southern Michigan to open for dining, we noticed a bunch of cars in the parking lot and decided to stop We were immediately greeted by Evola who took our order and before we knew it had a couple of cold beers on the table! We asked for numerous special requests and she didn't miss any of them. The food came out quickly and was delicious our server was great, Evola was a star, she made it a very enjoyable evening read more

Our business goes elsewhere in the future. So many last chances for Murphy's but this was the actual last one. To rate only pizza for tonight and not the prior several take out orders, wish we would have gone to a Little Caesars and 1) had pizza that is good and 2) saved enough money to buy 2 1/2 more pizzas. During our phone order we specifically requested that our pizzas be prepared well done and with extra sauce. They were doughy with had hardly any sauce. Less sauce than a normal pizza. Like they on purpose did the opposite of what we requested. Couldn't stand them. We had to to add our own sauce and bake them a while to cook that doughy crust. They were good after we fixed them. We should honestly have picked up a pizza at Little Caesar's and saved time and money and had better pizza. read more

Looked interesting from the outside, worst food ever, overpriced as well. Service was acceptable but food was not.

Last few times we ordered carryout pizza on monday nights, it has been burnt. The toppings are definitely skimpy too, especially with carry out and half off pizza nights. They did fix it but it's a pain to have to wait another 20 min & drive back. Last weekend we ordered carryout, our burger was missing the lettuce, tomato and the sauce we requested on the side. Fries were soggy. Once again ,they did fix it but it seems everytime we oedere, there is a problem. Disappointed with food in the past few months. read more

Probably the best place to eat in St. Clair. We've had everything from Fish 'n Chips to Burgers to Pizza (Of course) and we've enjoyed all of it. Monday is a go-to choice for us as it's half-off large pizzas & you get the special for dine-in and to go orders. Definitely recommend! read more

On Mondays the large pizzas and outstanding cheesy breads are 1/2 off. Both are delicious! Each night of the week has wonderful specials (Mexican night, all you can eat fish, etc) and are good bargains. This is a historical building with 7-8 hotel rooms upstairs. Great location to walk the town. read more

Murphy's is exactly the type of place I would expect to get a good brew and some fattening appetizers from in a small town like St. Clair. Their is a dining room and the bar- but I have only really been in the bar. They have a decent draft beer selection - although the last time I went the Killian's tasted a little on the funny side. The bar food is as greasy as I like it. Prices are reasonable and service is friendly. I think they have live music and karaoke on varying nights - They also have some rooms above the restaurant/bar area if you need a place to crash. :) If you find yourself in St. Clair and looking for a beverage - this would be my suggested stop to you. :) read more

A great waitstaff, always attentive. If you want a quieter experience, suggest the dining room versus the bar/pub area. Some of the best appetizers around, good quality food , and specials nearly everyday. Friday night is all you can eat fish, expect a wait!!! It is one of the few historic buildings remaining in a town where Urban Renewal nearly destroyed anything that was historical. While it dates to the 1830's and still has the historic feel but most modern amenities. read more

I had my wedding rehearsal dinner here with our wedding party and parents. It was a lot of fun! The pizza was awesome! I had to take a star away, because a few of my girls got tummy aches, but to be fair, there was a wedding the next day, and they were drinking, so I don't know if that matters. The prices are fair, and the staff was great! Especially with a party of 30 people! read more

This review is for the restaurant only; the building also houses seven guest rooms upstairs. Excellent atmosphere & food, and super friendly service!! A must-see if you're in St. Clair. We stopped in here for dinner on a Monday afternoon earlier this month, and immediately fell in love with the rustic charm and down-home, welcoming atmosphere. The building itself is also very unique and a treasure all its own--having been built in 1836, it's one of the oldest operating inns in the state, with seven vintage guest rooms which are relatively affordable (they currently rent for $90/night). After we were seated in the moderately-filled dining room, our waitress greeted us right away. She had an extremely bubbly and seemingly very genuinely sweet personality, and made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. My two companions ordered the chicken soup to start out, which came out fast and was completely homemade, including big strips of chicken. They said it tasted great, but one, who is on a restricted-sodium diet, noted that it tasted very salty (to an average diner, however, it might be just fine). For our main courses, my companions respectively ordered a fried cod sandwich and an All-American Burger, while I ordered a personal pizza. All were homemade with clearly very high-quality ingredients, down to the potato chips and tartar that came with the fish sandwich, which was a surprise because the prices were so reasonable! I ordered my pizza without cheese, and while most waitstaff embarrass me in front of the table by asking 15 questions anytime a special request is made, the waitress was completely professional about just putting in the order without making a face or asking questions, which I also appreciated! During the meal, the manager visited every table for a couple minutes to check on patrons' satisfaction, which seemed more genuine than standard "table-touching;" she asked what brought us into town, told us about some other hot spots around the area, and fun things to do. We did have to wait awhile (20 minutes or so) for the main course to come out, but during this time our waitress stopped by a couple times to update us on its progress (and to refill our drinks regularly!), which was also a nice bonus. All in all, it was an incredibly pleasant experience with attentive, friendly staff, great food, and an awesome atmosphere--the many other reviews are right on the money. A few tips: - There's live entertainment Wednesday - Sunday evenings - There are daily specials (e.g. Mondays are half off all large pizzas) & super cheap happy hours & evening menus--check their website for a listing. - It's within walking distance to the lake/boardwalk down Clinton St (1/2 a block or so), so you can either park in the adjacent lot or at the lake and walk around there afterward. - The hotel is supposed to be haunted--as someone who's interested in the paranormal, I did some digging and found out that apparitions have been seen in all the guest rooms, but are particularly active in 206 & 207! Spooky. =) Have fun if you go, and hope to see you there! read more

We had endless fish dinners last Friday. Plan on waiting twenty minutes or more between helpings and don't plan on much as the wait will cause you to leave in frustration. The fish is good however my wife prefers hers more crispy read more

Pizza here is OFF THE CHAIN. Come here, buy it, be amazed. I went standard pepperoni and cheese and was highly impressed. There's nothing that was lackluster, except maybe the booths in the bar area. It was like I was doing a yoga pose the entire lunch my back was so straight. The atmosphere at the Murphy is outstanding. It has the feel of an old timey hotel with an old timey pub attached. It was a very relaxed and enjoyable setting. The waitstaff was always around with a refill or napkins when needed. I plan on making regular trips here when I visit family in Michigan. Just delicious food and a great vibe. read more

What a cool place! Great facilities And atmosphere! Top 5 pizza in the area. And they claim to go back to 1836 if you want some tradition. Best place in St. Clair to my thinking! read more

Once again, we made the mistake of going for dinner on a holiday (or special local event) where there is a disappointing limited menu. Their regular menu offers a variety of tasty foods that usually is worthy of a recommendation. The limited menus rarely do. The Reuben sandwich was simply the worst quality I've ever seen or tried to eat in any restaurant. Whoever is working in the kitchen clearly needs an education in Meat 101. We ordered the appetizer platter which was disappointing also. 1 potato wedge, 3 wings, 2 cheese sticks, and 4 onion rings. It was a challenge sharing between 3 people. Murphy's prices are not justified by the quality with the exception of a few items. In my personal opinion, if a restaurant cannot handle their menu because it might be busy, instead putting out a limited menu rather than scheduling appropriately...I will not recommend them. Every time we do, it's just another disappointing experience for all. read more

Again no military discount no respect for military whatsoever, it's such a shame people do business in a country that they didn't have to fight or sacrifice for the right to make a profit but, they can't honor the people that did... makes me sick, second of all.... the place is all about drinking not about food .... went there.. endless chicken and, they had a heart attack when I said I wanted all white meat... bring any out drumsticks and I said all white meat and, I got the eye roll and..the give me the plate back like I did something wrong.... when I'm paying for all white meat I want all white meat not dark meat .... so I got deep fried chicken that was supposed to be broasted, I got seriously crispy skin with seriously pink meat .... not impressed read more
