On Wednesday, April 8th, my wife and I were traveling to through AZ down to Scottsdale and we decided to stop for lunch here at Murphy's Restaurant! We ordered the Prime Rib, Ribeye, and Calamari. Everything was absolutely spot on! Our server was Paul Benson who has amazing customer service entrepreneurship skills, and was extremely attentive for everything that we needed. Paul Benson made sure that we enjoyed our experience along with great tasting food prepared by the chefs! The best part of his service was we weren't waiting around for service and he had great conversation! Visit Murphy's Restaurant and request for Paul Benson! You won't regret your experience! read more

Let me begin by saying that Murphy's has been a Prescott landmark restaurant as long as I can remember, since long before I moved here in 1987. It's no longer owned by the Murphy family who started it, which is probably when things changed for this place. Next consider that it is at this time the only Irish restaurant in town. They've been hitting me with ads on Facebook for weeks leading up to St. Patrick's Day. I went online and easily made a reservation the day before- yay! I expected them to be booked, but they weren't. We started off ordering Guinness. They were out of Guinness on tap at 7:00. Mmm ok, we order it in a bottle. Waitress comes back and lets us know that is no longer available either, but they have green Stella. Weird, not Irish, but ok..... waitress returns and says be patient they are tapping a new keg. Then a full 30 minutes after we were seated the bar tender comes over to let us know they are out of that too. Mind you, the place does not look busy and it's early in the evening. She comped one of our drinks and we moved on to ordering dinner. I order bangers and mash - they are out of it! What??? At this point my husband is giving up on anything Irish and just gets a steak à la oscar. I had shepherds pie. Both of our dinners were delicious. I can't complain about the food we got. Husband likes his steak medium rare and they nailed it. Crab tasted fresh, bernaise was delicious and asparagus was tender. The shepherds pie had huge chunks of lamb and beef. Very tasty gravy. Serving sizes were good. Our waitress was very sweet and professional. It's not her fault she had to be apologizing through most of our experience. The fact that this restaurant was unprepared for a mildly busy St. Patrick's Day would seemingly be the fault of management. When you're the only Irish place in town and you advertise heavily on social media... make sure you have enough of the specials to not run out hours before closing time. I feel like Murphy's days of being the classy place to go in Prescott are long gone. The era has ended for this once great establishment. read more

Shout out to Micheal! Thank you for the great experience. Our food and drinks were great. We would definitely return read more

Fantastic! We had a bridal party of 22+ people. The service was excellent. Katie was our server and she crushed it. Every person was taken care of! Food was good! I can see why some people would say the food is okay. I think it was a great place that you know everyone can get something and like it. They also gave the bride and groom crème brûlée to polish off the evening. The ambience of the place is very homey. It's spread out with tall ceilings so it wasn't loud at all. Easy street parking on each side of the building. read more

Another Awesome dining experience at Murphy's Our server, Faith, was excellent. Friendly, prompt and knowledgeable about the full menu. She recommended the brown sugar, bourbon martini, and it was outstanding as an after dinner drink. She also recommended Forever Blue. This was very refreshing and perfect for dinner. The drinks presented beautifully. The prime rib is honestly as good as I have ever had. The Au Jus and horseradish were also perfect. We also loved how cold the house salad was, and their bread is top notch. I should ad that we really stopped eating out as things have gotten expensive. We had a coupon and the base prices are very reasonable. Murphy's is now are go to spot. Thanks. read more

A great place to stop in for a bite if you're in the area. Everything came out super quick, and the service was great. Both the nachos and the Reuben sandwich had some really complementary sauces. read more

Shana is a fabulous server and always remembers all the little things we like. There is one thing I'd like to change on the happy hour menu. I love shrimp but never order it here because they don't have the usual shrimp cocktail sauce. We had a great time with friends in the bar. read more

The seared ahi tuna was a generous portion and delicious. The server, Fatima, was outstanding.

My wife and I stopped in for happy hour and had a very nice time. Our server was Fatima and she was extremely nice and attentive to our needs. In addition to our yummy potato skins and wings, my wife loved her lavender margarita! read more

Ava was a great server. She was prompt and attentive to all our needs. The steak sandwich was very tasty.

Murphy's is my favorite Prescott happy hour (3p-6p daily). The bar staff is great, but Alex is my fave. When we arrive she greets us, and treats us, like family. read more

We made an impromptu visit to Murphy's for dinner ( my 60th birthday ) and had a great time. The food was great, and our server Ava, was stellar! Her personality and charm made our night extra special. She's also a top tier photographer, lolol. Next time you eat at Murphy's ask for Ava! read more

Stopped in for a quick drink & bite to eat while out shopping in Downtown Prescott and so glad we did! Our server, Ava, was lovely and so attentive! Will absolutely be back soon :) read more

We had such an amazing time tonight celebrating mine and my mother's birthday. Brandy went above beyond and beyond to make sure we had an amazing time. She was funny, genuine and personable. Highly recommend her and your restaurant. read more

I want to start with the service as it was great, thank you Tiffany. My husband had the Cortez Street sandwich. He liked it but, the chicken had one large (too big) side that was hard to eat and made it messy when eating. My daughter had the Clams Fra Diavolo and loved it! And mine was Pan Seared Grouper with Risotto. It was very dry super thick. The big disappointment was the carrot cake, which looked to be a staple/. It was so dry and lacked any moistness that I only ate a few bites. Forgot to take a picture, as I had it togo. Looked great, but maybe it was just too old? Overall good time was had by all. read more

We had a reservation at Murphy's and were seated right away, even after arriving about 10 minutes early -- a great start. The service was excellent; our server, Katie, was friendly, attentive, and very accommodating throughout the meal. The food, while nicely presented, was a bit underwhelming in flavor. The French Onion soup looked beautiful but the broth lacked depth, and the Prime Rib Stroganoff, though generously portioned and tender, could have used more seasoning. Others in our party also noted their dishes needed salt. Overall, solid service and presentation, but the food could use a little more flavor to match the otherwise pleasant dining experience. The restaurant does have a nice ambiance with a full service bar. read more

Service started out decent and went down hill. Paid no attention. Food came after an hour; cold, overcooked ; dried out fried chicken ; ill prepared fatty prime rib and dried sea bass barely an inch thick. Food photo's completely fraudulent! Buyer be ware! read more

Our whole family loves eating at Murphy's! The historic décor creates a charming atmosphere, and it's usually nice and quiet. The servers are always attentive and provide great service. We prefer sitting in the booths away from the bar for a more private experience. Our go-to appetizers are the escargot and calamari, and the kids especially enjoy the bread. Just a tip--it isn't brought out automatically, so be sure to ask for it. Everything we have tried has been good! They have great seasonal menu items as well! read more

Paul best bartender in 6 months that we stayed in this town....Prescott has a bar on evert corner and Murphys is the best in town....

Reilly was great!! Quick service, comfy setting, tasty food and drinks. Reliably fun Prescott spot.

I want to first thank the GM, David, for allowing us a second opportunity at Murphy's, after a very disappointing experience 3 months ago. Service was excellent, just like our visit in November 2025, but our problem back then was with the food quality and taste. This latest visit on Jan 3, 2026 was waaaaaay better! I took a chance and ordered the ribs again (super dry and charred last time in November). I wasn't disappointed. Meat was tender and BBQ sauce was flavorful. There was also a cheeseburger and Filet Mignon ordered in our party, which were both cooked perfectly. The one item that we didn't particularly care for was the Crème Brûlée. Many places I have had this at usually have it made in a 1" shallow dish (which is also the way I make it), so you can have a piece of the crunchy sugar crust with each bite. They made theirs in a 3" deep bowl, which was pretty much vanilla custard after the top crust was gone. All-in-all, a much better dining experience which will make us consider returning in the future. read more

Sat at the bar for an affordable happy hour that was delightfully pleasant. I was wowed by the enormous $8 juicy cheeseburger cooked perfectly to my satisfaction and a delicious $5 well margharita. Emilia provided a generous experience with her inclusive demeanor, attentiveness, and creativity. I really appreciated her going out of her way to tweak my drink just right and a help with cleanliness while I was drowning in patty juice and sauce! A solid wetnap, goes a long way! 5 stars for a simple meal gone right! read more

Went twice to this restaurant in the last week and a half with different friends. Both times the food was amazing! I had a catfish dinner that was great. My husband had a chicken dinner and it had a honey mustard type sauce that was fabulous! We went again last night and decided to go in time for the happy hour (3-6) in the bar area. They have a really great appetizer, happy hour menu and specials on drinks. We had hot wings and the calamari were fantastic! The guys ended up having dinner as well with chicken again for my husband and a beef stroganoff that our friend said was fantastic as well! Service was above and beyond and the manager David came around both times to see if we enjoyed our meal and if there was anything he could do. This is now one of our favorite places here in Prescott and we will be back many times.!! oh did I mention the chocolate cake is out of this world?!!! read more

One word. AMAZING. We just had dinner and I rushed to write the review. The prime rib is to die for and the Ale stew is perfection. My fiancé and I are visiting from Los Angeles and love good food and good service. Luckily Murphy's has both. Our server Matthew Z was amazing he gets 5 stars alone. I'm genuinely surprised anyone has given this place less than 5 stars because it truly deserves all 5! read more

I would not recommend Murphy's Restaurant. It looks nice, but that is where nice ends. The food was dry, boring and tasteless. The server was just ok, she wasn't busy just acted like she had 20 tables when she only had two and then three. Over priced, food was bland and not served right, we waited 40 minutes for a simple, bland lunch. It is far from a high end restaurant with high prices and below standard food. Run don't walk to the next cafe. read more

This was our favorite meal this trip. Such an immense value for high quality service and food.

A Perfect Anniversary at Murphy's! A Perfect Anniversary at Murphy's! We celebrated our 16-year wedding anniversary at Murphy's and could not have picked a better spot! From start to finish, everything was just phenomenal. Our waitress Shauna was absolutely wonderful--warm, attentive, and genuinely kind. She was training a lovely new server who had only been there for three days, and the two of them together were magnificent. They made us feel so welcomed and cared for. The food was next-level. The prime rib was perfectly cooked and incredibly flavorful. The baked mac and cheese? Decadent, cheesy heaven. We were so full (in the best way) that we had to take our dessert home--and even that was delicious. So glad we chose Murphy's to celebrate. We left with full bellies and full hearts. Highly recommend for any special occasion--or just when you want a truly great meal with top-notch service. read more
