Five stars across the board for Murphy's. The chicken was cooked just right, the wings were flavorful and done perfectly, and the fish and chips were excellent--crispy, fresh, and really hit the spot. Service was just as good as the food--friendly, attentive, and on top of everything. The whole experience was smooth from start to finish. Great food, great service, and a great atmosphere. Definitely one of the better spots around--I'll be back! read more

I love trying new places and my husband did good picking this one last week after we dropped our pup off at Indy Vet. Despite it being a freezing cold windy Wednesday at about 2pm and there being only other table of 2 in the restaurant, our waitress was super nice and our food was hot and delicious. I had a few food preferences that would change my order next time, like the honey mustard was soooo sweet. I halved it with normal yellow mustard and it was perfect for my hot ham and cheese. I wish the tenderloin would have had just a little more flavor or salt to the breading but it was cooked perfect otherwise! The pickles were good but they were soooo hot and fresh, even after cutting them in half to cool for several minutes, it still burnt me. Next time I go I want to try other stuff, but over all, it was a great spot! It seemed clean and the had worked hard decorating it for Christmas which I always appreciated. read more

The Reuben is pretty damn mean! Definitely get the fried pickle spears too! Will be back!

I have lived down the street for so many years and kept meaning to try this place but just finally tried it. We really liked it! It's smaller on the inside than I expected, maybe 25 tables and a bar, but it was still comfortable. It was fairly busy on a Saturday around 1pm. My mom ordered the classic cheeseburger and liked it but loved the battered fries. My brother ordered the ham and cheese panini and while it looked small it was packed full of ham. I had the chopped steak and onion rings and really liked it. The chopped steak had a nice cheese crust. The onion rings were really good. Our server was quick and checked on us often. We'll definitely be back! read more

We were greeted and sat right away. The waitress was attentive. The soup was really thick and very dark/flavorful. It wasn't served in a typical crock. The chef salad seemed a little small. The Rueben was average. The wedge was good but I am glad I got the hot bacon dressing on the side. When I looked at it and tasted it, it was just like bacon grease, not a dressing and definitely no bacon in it. read more

We stopped on a Sunday, around 11:30. The lunch crowd was trickling in and we were seated quickly. Our waiter was attentive and had our drinks served up and appetizer order in within a short time. We wanted to try several things, so we opted for both the breaded mushrooms and onion rings tower. Both were fantastic! Onion rings were the beer battered kind (not panko kind) and mushrooms were huge! Both made in house. For entrees, we went with the Reuben and chopped steak. Hubby really enjoyed his chopped steak. I stole a few sweet potato fries and they were really good. The corned beef on the Reuben was very flavorful. We had ordered carryout for St Patty's day and tried the corned beef. So glad they have it on the regular menu also! We will definitely be back! read more

Server was friendly & efficient for our large group of about 20! Philly cheesesteak hoagie & coleslaw was really delicious. Pizzas & reubens that others ordered looked & tasted great - we all enjoyed our food. Fun atmosphere & huge TV- will return to watch a ballgame! read more

First let me say my server was awesome, prompt and friendly. The food.... To my taste at least awful. Even the salad had no tasted... how is that possible? The ribeye... didn't taste like beef, it sort of had a weird plastic taste. I've had a decent meal here before so not sure what is up....I will say, the fries were hot and very tasty. read more

Murphy's Pubhouse South - Ribeye streak.... So they say. - Irish Pub Near Me - Indianapolis, Indiana

Murphy's Pubhouse is a great place to grab a quick bite to eat at the bar or sit in the small dining room. They do have a small stage for live music. They have daily specials that aren't on the menu so check with your server or the blackboard behind the bar. We usually sit at the bar because the service is usually great. I would recommend starting with the pubhouse pretzels. The cheese sauce is where this appetizer really shines. My husband usually gets the wings and says they are good. I can also say the burgers, patty melt, and thin crust pizzas are also delicious. 4/5 stars because it is typical bar food. But they do have great service and good food. I will definitely be back. read more

Wonderful food. We started off with the onion stack of perfectly cooked onion rings. The sriracha ranch dipping sauce was superb. I had the Hoosier breaded pork tenderloin with tater tots, they were perfectly cooked crunchy and delicious. My sister Julie had the steak tips spinach salad, they were perfectly steak was so flavorful and tender. My sister Susan had the pub steakhouse sandwhich and it was Amazing as well. Our waitress was wonderful and we enjoyed ourselves tremendously! read more

Murphy's has a couple spots around town, but we went to the one on the south side. Music selection was perfect and there was nice low lighting; felt very relaxing. Our waiter was super sweet and attentive the entire time. Chicken Tenders were juicy and the breading was really crispy. I am a person who enjoys crispy, so I dug them. Others at the table disagreed; depends on your preference. Regardless, nice seasoning. Steak Tip Salad was quite bland. All components were fresh; spinach, beef, tomato etc., but it didn't pack a punch. What really didn't work was the dressing. It wasn't well described and my partner thought it tasted like vinaigrette mixed with bacon grease. I told him he should have went for the Club. Would I choose to go again? Most likely no If my friend invited me? For sure read more

We ordered a BBQ Chicken pizza. The pizza should have been called BBQ bacon bit pizza because that was all you could taste. Lightly drizzled BBQ sauce, left the pizza dry. The chicken that was on the pizza was dry and flavorless. The manager didn't charge us for the pizza so we ordered a club to go. No bacon on the club. Sat in the window until I got up and got it which it took over a half a hour to get the club. We weren't given an opportunity to order drinks while we were waiting and when I did order the drinks,they were sitting there and were watered down (meaning they had been sitting there for a minute) with the receipt on top drinks which one corner was in the drink. Meaning, I got up and got the drinks. They weren't busy, there were 3 servers and a bartender. It is a small place. For being an Irish Pub you would have thought they would have had more Irish specials to offer. It was a horrible experience. The manager made us feel like we were a problem. I'll never go back. FYI, I'm pretty lenient on restaurant employees. I owned my own restaurant for 15 years. read more

Murphy might have ancestors from Ireland, but he's 100% 'Murrica born and bred, and this strip mall corner restaurant reflects that. Literally, a giant red white and blue Eagle painted on the front window. Of the strip mall. There's some cheap Irish decor around the bar, I think purchased from the Dollar General at the other end of the parking lot. So atmosphere is weak, but recall this is a strip mall in suburban Indianapolis. Let's temper our expectations. Decor and ambiance is three stars, but my review is four stars for friendly greeter, friendly wait staff, menu variety, and decent food. I met a friend here, first time we've ever been here, and the staff treated us like regulars. There is a variety of seating options, some crowded and some well spaced. Staff knowledge of craft beer was limited but they knew enough to recommend Daredevil Brewing (Speedway, Indiana) and Three Floyds (Munster, Indiana). read more

This is my first time here, even though it's been here for a long time, and I don't live far away. We were greeted at the door by a very friendly young man who also was our server. He was very nice, and since there were very few people in the restaurant, he seemed to handle all the jobs pretty well. I would think if it got really busy, he and it looks like one other server might struggle with taking care of everyone. But for us, it was fine. the interior of the restaurant and bar is fine. Sports/football memorabilia on the walls, though mostly it seemed to be a big bar with maybe 10 or 12 booths spread out in the open space. A bunch of TVs with sporting events on, but it seemed like the bar was the main focus. as for the food, I ordered bleu burger which came with french fries. It had all the toppings on it lettuce pickles mayonnaise and tomatoes. The burger was cooked well, hot and fresh, but the bun on 1/2 was very hard (too hard to bite through.). So I had to eat about half of the burger without any bun, but it was still very good. The fries were good hot fresh crispy on the outside soft on the inside. My wife got fish and chips and she said it was very good. Plenty fish strips and lots of fries. All in all it was a good experience and we would probably go back. But nothing spectacular. read more

The fish and chips were ok but hardly a meal , my wife liked the pizza but that not that hard to do.i may go back and try something else.

My husband and I have been wanting to try Murphy's for some time and finally got the opportunity today. We were not disappointed. My husband had the classic burger and I the fresco melt.....delicious!!! Best fries I have had in a very long time. Great service, very friendly and attentive. Very nice neighborhood pub kind of place. We live on the other side of town but will be sure to visit again soon! read more

Consistently good food and excellent service! Live music on Thursday evenings is a plus. The tenderloin sandwich is very good. I also enjoy the potato skins, and the calamari appetizer has just enough zing. Plenty of parking. Murphy's is a great neighborhood pub. read more

We love Murphy's! The food is delicious and the customer service is so great. It is close to home and the atmosphere is awesome!

Breaded tenderloin is delicious! Ample servings too! Service was great too! My husband likes liver and onions there too!

Got to stop in this place for the 1st time, It did not disappoint! The bartender was very friendly and on top of things! The bowl of chili I had was delicious!! I also got the 12 piece hot wings, ordered well done. The wings were big in size and flavor, they came with fresh cut celery and carrots. My wife got the fish sandwich and fries. The fish was nicely breaded and didn't come out soggy and full of grease , the fries were delicious as well! Murphys has bar seating as well as a family seating area. We definitely plan on returning!! read more

I would honestly say that the food here is good. Would I come back and eat here again, sure why not. It is a little small in size but the remain busy the entire time we were there and there wasn't an empty seat in the house. Customer service was a little slow but friendly. The food had taken some time to arrive to our table including our appetizers. We both had the Hoosier tenderloin with fries. I asked if I could have some cheese placed on my sandwich and one can tell when it's that plastic cheese they used. Other than that, the sandwich was really big, fresh and juicy. The fries were cooked to perfection with that right amount crisp to that firm texture inside. read more

I haven't been to Jim Murphys, in like, forever. It was on Keystone Ave, by the Fairgrounds. It closed due to construction and moved to Pat Flynn's. My husband and I never went there. Today, my daughter took me to Murphys on Thompson Road. I ordered the Hot Salad. A double! It was exactly like the one they served at the original Jim Murphys!!! My Hubs and I will be going to check out the Steak, Baked Potato and French Onion Soup. DELICIOUS! read more

Nothing bad and nothing great here. Average place located in a strip mall. Service was friendly. Got a bacon cheeseburger and it was cooked just right. Bun was of poor quality. Sun King Wee Mac is $6.50 a pint. Guinness tap was not working and there were no other Irish beer offerings on tap. Says it's a pub house but doesn't have a cozy pub feel. read more

We kept hearing about this place so finally decided to try it. The atmosphere is comfortable, a quieter bar and grill. The host is energetic and set a positive tone for our experience. The menu offers a variety of great options! My husband got the tenderloin sandwich and it got the Gouda turkey panini. They were both delicious! The service was excellent. I saw different dishes being served and it all looked good! One guy had a steak that looked sooo good so I had to go back and try it. It was a 21oz strip that was about 4 inches thick. I eat steak medium and wasn't sure it would be cooked right. I was very pleased, it was cooked PERFECTLY! This is definitely one of our new date night spots! read more

Half priced bottle wine Wednesday! We had the wings, delicious! Also split a perfect dredge salad and bottle of Pinot Grigio. He had the tenderloin, thick and bun-appropriate. I had the steak hoagie. It was so good and I took half of it home for later. Love the people that run this place. Live music on Thursdays! read more

I've been here several times. But after tonight, not sure I'll be back. Ordered a ribeye medium rare. Took the better part of an hour to arrive. During that time, no refills. I had to walk to the bar to refill my friend's soda. Server was MIA. The steak came out well done. Server immediately took it back. She was going to take the whole plate, but I asked to keep the fries. Another huge amount of time and the second steak arrived. Also over cooked. But an ever so slight pink center. I wasn't going to send it back again. My friend was completely finished with her meal before the steak came back. It was overly fatty and gristle-y. Not sure if the cook was announced that it was a re-do or what, but I'd say 1/3 of the steak was inedible. The restaurant wasn't slammed by any means but there were multiple tables. During my whole steak situ, another patron had to walk up to the server and ask for their check. (She also noticed our server was MIA for quite some time.) Checks arrived. My friend's bill was printed twice and given to each of us. Waited 5 minutes just to ask for the correct bill. Got my bill with no adjustment. I asked if they would discount the steak for all the trouble. The manager came to the table, and I told her that it was cooked wrong twice, but I wasn't going to send it back again. I told her that the server was pleasant, and I wasn't mad at the kitchen mess up. I just was frustrated it took so long to get in and out on a Monday evening. The manager took $4 and change off the $30 tab. I was shocked that's all she took off. Communication goes a long way. The staff should have let us know if they were short staffed, or the wait times on a steak would be an hour. They should have offered a side salad or something while I waited. I will say, the server did bring fresh potatoes with the new steak, that was nice. I'm just supremely shocked at how slow things were and they couldn't cook a steak correctly. I've been in the restaurant business before and communication is huge. It was my friends first visit and she said it was her last. I don't like eating at chain places, so I'm sad when the mark is missed so badly at a mom and pop place. read more

Food excellent as usual. I ordered by phone to pick up and when I got to bar to pick up, I waited over 10 minutes for someone to give me the food. It was not hot when I got it home. The male waiter said I had to wait for other waitress and she was busy flirting with two men at a table. Not the best experience but still enjoyed my pizza and kettle chips. read more

This restaurant is in dire need of a makeover. The bench seats in the booths are badly ripped and unsightly. The tables and chairs are old and were needing straightened. The food was out quickly & was good, but we were so disappointed with the overall restaurant appearance, we just ate and left. We have been to other Murphy's locations, but since we were in this area, decided to stop in for a late lunch. I don't believe we will go back. read more

Murphy's wowed me, and that doesn't happen too often. I thought okay we'll try this pub for dinner, just thinking it will be normal bar food. Uh, not here people. There's no greasy half rate burger, frozen fries, or boxed mozzarella sticks at this place. What you will find is delicious, freshly made food! I ordered the tenderloin and the fried mushrooms and hubby ordered a bacon cheeseburger with pepperjack. The mushrooms are unlike any I've every had. They're huge and more than enough for like 3 people. Suffice to say, I couldn't eat them all. The tenderloin is THE BEST I'VE EVER HAD. All white meat, double breaded, light and crispy, hot juicy, marvelousness on a toasted brioche bun! Hubby said the cheeseburger was really good too. The French fries are house made and have perfect seasoning on them. Not only is the food above par for a pub but the service is too. The owner always stops by to make sure everyone is happy and usually shares some history about a recipe. Great place, great food, great service! read more

I stopped by for a quick lunch at this Irish Pub/sports bar located on the end of a strip mall on the south east side. Inside, there's a sign to wait to be seated for the dining room. Although I was dining by myself, I chose not to sit in the bar that was behind a short wall beyond the dining area. I was taken to a 2-top table with a bench seat on one side. Silent sports television was playing on the numerous screens. I went with the Classic Reuben and fries for my meal. The Reuben has thick sliced grilled corned beef, a sauerkraut that was a bit more sour than most, Swiss cheese, 1000 Island dressing, and grilled rye. The fries had a crispy exterior like they were fried in duck fat (not sure what they used.) Both sandwich and fries were good and I'd recommend them. My waitress did a good job of keeping my lunch on track in case I had a limited amount of time. She checked on water refills and processed my check timely. Overall, a good place to stop for a meal!

I love the hole in the wall vibe you get when you walk in. Super family friendly though when you see "Pubhouse" you think more bar vibe. They do have a bar, but it's just the bar top and pretty small. The decor is really nice for the small space. Not "modern" by any means but just a real homey vibe. There's a bunch random decorative pieces: -Guitar with "moonshine" written on it -Wall lights (like those you put up on your garage door for Christmas) -Rustic placks with random phrases -Many TVs (not gigantic but there are 8 of them, sooo I feel like it's okay. Lol) We ordered the pretzel as an appetizer and it was AMAZING. (See pic if you want a visual.) I can't remember the last time I've had a pretzel this good. The cheese was on point too. Note: if you aren't a spicy fan the cheese comes with two pieces of jalapeños on top so make sure you ask for it without that if you don't like those. I ordered the buffalo wings with the potato skins. They were sooo good! The wings came out a little dryer than I typically like so I asked for an extra side of the hot sauce and it was PERFECT. Also, I really appreciated how much actual meat was on the piece. Really great portion. And... 5/6 pieces were drum sticks which is abnormal to me! They make their own ranch which is awesome. It's thick and has a really great flavor. My friend also randomly said their broccoli was flavored good! Had a great experience here. Susan was our waitress and she was super sweet! If I lived in town, I'd be a regular! read more
