We walked out for lack of service. We ordered our drinks and didn't see the waiter for 20 minutes. When we asked for him he talked to a couple other tables and disappeared again so we walked out. We told the hostess on our way out and she didn't seem to care. Absolutely horrible for the prices on the menu!! read more

Took a gamble and took my family here for brunch on Father's Day. The reason for the stars is the absolutely amazing service from Victoria. The food was a bit of a let down. Wasn't gross but didn't wow us at all. Lack of hollandaise sauce and chewy prime rib. The avocado toast was strangely lacking avocado. I don't know that I'll be back. read more

I picked this spot honestly because of the ratings. We had a team meeting of 11 people there. The food was great and the people were extremely nice. A good selection of various main entrees. Honestly they served us beyond their closing time and did it with a smile. Thanks for the great experience. read more

This is my 2nd visit to Murphy's I didn't write a review last time. But the consistency of my meal each time is perfect! I started with a Caesar salad, it was fresh tasty and with the shaved Parmesan cheese. Just the way I like it. Than I order 6 oysters, that were fresh and the right texture. I could have eaten more, if my steak wasn't on the way. I had the top sirloin, med/rare. Which was perfect and so tender. The value on the meal was very reasonable. It's a western themed steakhouse, only fitting for historical Prescott. Our bartender and server, was very professional, a 5 star server! Overall, I would highly recommend, Murphy restaurant. . . read more

Pretty much everything. The rib eye was the worst steak I've ever had. Thin and tasteless. Definitely not worth $50. Same with the sides. The service was lagging too. And finally the dining area could use a good cleaning. We won't be returning. read more

Wow. Very disappointed with this place. Just ate there last night and sadly we experienced many issues. I wanted to like it. It's in the downtown area and the ambiance inside is very cozy and nice. Seems like a great place to relax and enjoy a good meal and good conversations with friends and family. And our server Matthew was excellent. Other than that it was a complete letdown. The Hostess who greeted us when we entered was indifferent, and asked us the same question of how many people were in our party 3 separate times as if she couldn't care enough to remember the first time we answered it. And we were the only ones there waiting to be seated. The food here is terribly mediocre. I mean every single thing we had from the stale-ish bread to the sauteed shrimp appetizer to the prime rib and steak dinners were some of the most tasteless versions of those meals we've ever had. The meat for each meal was completely flavorless and unappealing and even the sides like potatos, vegetables and sauces were all dull and didn't enhance anything about the meal. And to make matters worse they charge you a ridiculous amount of money for everything as if they were a Scottsdale 5-Star fine dining place. They charge $40-55 for the same level quality meal you could buy at a Sizzler for $20-25. Their kitchen is completely inept. The chef does not know the difference between rare, medium and well-done and nothing comes out particularly tasty at all no matter what it is. The most disappointing moment of the night was when we were delivered two 8-oz. steaks that were not only smaller than 8 ounces they were horribly overcooked. We ordered a medium and a medium rare and they both came to us well-done. In fact 1 was so badly burnt it couldn't even be chewed and had to be spit out. Then when we asked for it to be replaced, the manager, who seemed nice, agreed it was completely inedible and when we tried to get a replacement and asked for a petite prime rib (and were more than willing to pay for the upgrade) we were advised the prime rib had been sold out which is a bad look for a steak & prime rib restaurant to be out of their featured dishes by only 6:30. The replacement was chicken and we still got charged for the more expensive steak dinner. So the main issues revolve around the over-pricing mixed with the poor quality of food presented. Will definitely not be back... read more

Had 7pm reservations for my husband and I. Restaurant was no too busy. Our waiter Trevor was phenomenal, he was very attentive and gave us tips for places to go during our vacation here. Trevor made our experience at the restaurant exceptional with his recommendations and history of the area. As an appetizer we order Escargot and Crab cake, both were delicious! My husband had prime rib and lobster tail and I ordered petite filet and lobster tail, both were fabulous! I definitely recommend to everyone and ask for Trevor, he truly made our experience 5 stars. read more

We decided to go to Murphy's for my son's 50th birthday. When I made the reservation, I told them that we chose Murphy's to celebrate the birthday. We've enjoyed our dining experience at Murphy's several times in the last few months. The staff has always been friendly and accommodating, and the food has been excellent. However, during this visit to Murphy's for our son's 50th birthday, we were disappointed for the following reasons: Even though we notified the restaurant making the initial reservation by phone that this was a special occasion, the host seating us had no knowledge of the occasion. As we were making our food selection we were very disappointed that two of our favorite appetizer items were not available. The two items were the avacado fries and the green beans. This was quite surprising as there was only four other guests in the restaurant. We feel this was because of poor kitchen management. As stated earlier this made our birthday occasion unexpectedly disappointing. The purpose of these comments are to be taken as constructive criticism. One other suggestion; it would be nice if there was some kind of dessert offering for a special birthday occasion as this was. M. Larsen, J. Larsen Prescott read more

Crab cakes were amazing. Had great service and the building was very cool. My wife's steak was undercooked as she ordered Medium and got closer to rare than medium rare. Not a ton of options for kids but found enough (plus dessert) for a few happy kids. read more

Delicious food in house corned beef and selective steak stock that is aged to excellent tenderness. Our bartender Mango was awesome and had excellent recommendations and fantastic cocktail creations for us to try. The roasted garlic cheese bread was to die for. Service was amazing and the the food was fantastic we will definitely be back for dinner sometime! read more

Had lunch here and everything was outstanding! The citrus salad with chicken was a large portion with the most delicious dressing. The chicken was cooked just right. Also had the steak sandwich with bacon which was equally as delicious. Service was prompt and friendly. This place has been a staple in the community for decades and we look forward to continuing to visit this special spot. Thank you! read more

I haven't eaten at Murphy's for a year and my last time there. We had a really nice dinner large group in the back room. Everyone was happy and the food was good. Today it was terrible. Their brunch menu really needs some attention. Three of us ordered the prime rib melt on the brunch menu, there wasn't enough meat it was overcooked, all bun .It just didn't taste good. even the salad was mediocre at best. The blue cheese dressing was watery. there really wasn't no excuse for this meal, definitely not going again for the brunch and we'll see about dinner again. Money is tight for everyone especially when the food isn't any good seriously Murphy look at your brunch menu read more

First time to visit Murphy's last night. I had high expectations and was disappointed. The server was very good (Victoria), ambiance was okay...looked like it hadn't been touched in years. I had the filet. It had good flavor but I ordered it MR and it was closer to Rare. At $50 was expecting better. My wife had the beat salad (very good) and a burger. She ordered it medium and it came out well done. This combined with the huge bun it was very dry and not very flavorful. She actually eliminated the bun and used the garlic butter from my steak to make it better. read more

Two French onion soups cold, ribs tough as nails, salad swimming in dressing, wings over cooked, Rueben sandwich not to par according to my friend, Our party of 8 were all complaining about the food quality. Waitress Tiffany was pretty good and friendly. Very disappointing dinner experience last evening. My daughter said they had eaten there a year ago and the food was not great, thought we would give it another try. Sorry but you need to look for new kitchen help. read more

Lunch at Murphy's was better than dinner! I have had several dinners here, but found lunch to be much better for some reason. I'm not sure if it was our server, the food or a combination or the two! Either way, it was incredibly delicious! read more

Just got into Prescott, checked into our hotel and asked for a "steak and seafood" dinner house suggestion. Sue didn't bat an eye before she told me, "Murphy's on Cortez". Well, you can't argue with a response like that! After we settled in, we got back into the car and found Murphy's. Walking in, we were immediately impressed with the turn-of-the-century ambiance. The long bar and back bar ran the length of the south side of the interior and the dining area populated the north side. We were seated in a mahogany paneled both and our waitress was right there for drinks and menu explanation. Tami opted for a Schezuan Crusted seared Ahi Tuna and I ordered a 16 oz. ribeye, both with baked potatoes. A loaf of hot and crusty bread with herbed butter launched our meal and before we knew it, our order arrived. We ate and shared until we couldn't, then boxed about 50% of our meals to go. Seriously. What a serendipity! Who knew? When you come to Prescott, make Murphy's your dinner spot. read more

My wife and I came here for the first time 4 years ago, right before I proposed, and we've been back for our anniversary every year since. We make the trip from Phoenix and stay the night JUST TO EAT HERE. This year was no different. Great service, our waitress whose name I can't remember (so sorry!) was amazing. We aren't picky eaters, but the salad came with cheese on it, which we don't eat. No problem, we'll brush it off right? Nope. Waitress took the salads and had them remade. Wow. We both ordered the same thing, Prime Rib and lobster tail (pictured) which were both incredible. I don't know what else to say other than we finished it all. THEN, we decided to order dessert. We don't normally, because we're usually too full. The waitress suggested the chocolate cake, and we took her suggestion. I don't know where they get it from, or if it's made on site, but it's worth the trip just for the cake. And my wife.... doesn't like chocolate! She ate more of it than I did. Great service, great food. We'll be back, probably a few times before the next anniversary. Side note: as we were leaving, it started to snow. Perfect end to a perfect meal, and I'm sure Murphy's somehow had a hand in that too. read more

Overall pretty good meal. Calamari was pretty good. My filet mignon was excellent. A+++. The meat melted in my mouth. Wish they had a Demi-glaze or Bernaise sauce, but no big deal. The maitre D butter on top was good. Truffle fries on the side were pretty good. My wife's ahi tuna was just OK. Didn't seem to be of great quality. But it wasn't at all fishy, which is important. Cooked to rare as she wanted. Had a nice sear. Green beans were tasty. Side of mushrooms were just OK. My kids chicken fingers were the really cheap processed ones, but of course he really enjoyed them. Kids meal was a large amount of food. Crem brule was delicious. Our server Matthew was excellent. Entertaining, fun to talk to. Our drinks were never empty. We will return on our next visit as it was the best steak I had in town. read more

Second time back. Thanksgiving fantastic , with all the hundreds of people , the staff was gracious, efficient and never let you feel their challenge! Sitting at the bar for a pre dinner cocktail , even the manager went out of his way to check on our reservation. The food was perfect , even as a holiday preset /choice menu it never appeared as if it had been made in advance . Hats off to the very accommodating and abundant staff ! read more

We meet a friend at Murphy's today for lunch. Murphy's was one of our favorite restaurants during our time when we previously lived in the area. I was not involved in yelping at that time. My wife and her teacher friend had their specialty soup (chicken tortilla) and a salad, while I had the prime French dip with a cup of their speciality soup. Everything was delicious. Service was outstanding. read more

The ambiance was neat, and the building was cool. The food was just ok. My steak was good but served by itself on a plate, no side, no frills. Our pasta dish was ok. Not great flavor and the grilled chicken in it was dry and boring. The carrot cake for dessert was really good. read more

Sorry, todays meals and drinks were less then acceptable. Let's start with drinks the star drink of the day chocolate/mint /baileys martini it was warm?? Really! The shepherds pie was room temperature and taste less. We arrived with 10 guest and not one of us was satisfied. My bill was $95 before tip. Get it together Murphy's. read more

Went to Murphys today to take our daughter and her boyfriend for a special lunch since they are from out of town. Very disappointed, every dish we ordered was bad except the salad. Even the complimentary bread was burnt and hard as a brick. The steak sandwich my future son in law ordered was over cooked and dry. My husband's burger was rare inside with a burnt bun when it should have been slightly pink inside. The ham and cheese grill sandwich was so burnt and hard my daughter couldn't eat it. Not sure what's going on here as we have dined at Murphys before and it was good. Unfortunately we won't be going back after this experience. Too bad because as Prescott residents we could use a few good dining spots. With little to choose from one would think it's not that hard to be good in this town. I won't be recommending Murphys to anyone I know. read more

My gf and I went to Murphy's a few weeks ago and were sat in Trevor's section. He was lovely, and we had a great time! She had the steak and I had the tuna. Def recommend! read more

--Atmosphere, Service, & Parking--- Murphy's has a lot of old school charm to it, from the bar, the tables, and even the comfy booths; it's definitely a pleasant, and inviting place. It has a hint of class to it, and it allows for nice conversation and good eats. I had come in on a Saturday night with friends for appetizers and drinks and those needs were definitely met here. We had some wonderful service, and everything came in a timely manner. Parking around the vicinity seems to be street only and fitted with various meters. Good luck! --Food, Drinks & More-- Murphy's Sauteed Shrimp - Jumbo shrimp with cajun spices and Stella Artois beer served with fresh baked bread. It was a bit pricey but the shrimp were huge and the cajun flavors were great. Enough sauce to dip the bread in. Calamari Fritti - Deep fried calamari served with cocktail sauce. This was a heaping amount of calamari good enough to share. They tasted fresh enough, and the cocktail sauce was perfect. Friends and I ordered a couple rounds of drinks, and all were honestly made and great tasting. Prices: Apps $11-20, Salads $9-21, Entrees $12-40 Their lunch menu features burgers, sandwiches, salads, and specialties while their dinner menu features pastas, salads, wood grilled steaks and ribs, prime rib and fish, and chicken dishes. read more

10/10!!!! Best service and best food in Prescott. We had such a blast eating here. The prices are great and the service was even better. Please request Kelly as she is such a kind and loving soul as a server. read more

I am pleased to say the food tastes incredible I am sad to say they knew it was us takeout and produced the less appealing prime rib with more grizzle to help everybody else ! order the food in house then tell him after they cook it you want it to go you might actually get the decent meal that they produce, but the flavor was immensely great and the service was professional. Sad to say they shortchange me on my meal. read more

We ordered the $45 meal... I will say the wings were good, but the prime rib was the worst we had ever been served! Super thin, flavorless and I cannot emphasize this enough... it was easily 60% solid white fat. My gal left the entire piece of meat after trying to cut the fat off. She only ate part of her baked potato. She was disappointed and grossed out when it came to the meat. I seriously cannot believe the kitchen manager allowed the prime rib to leave the kitchen. Their advertisement they are posting all over the web is misleading. I used to enjoy Murphys... this is the 3rd time I have given them a 2nd try. They are off my list! read more

We enjoyed our visit to Murphy's. We both loved the clam chowder. I find that it's not always easy to find good chowder in Arizona. My burger tasted good, even though it was cooked a little more than I prefer. My wife said her roast beef sandwich was excellent. My French fries were absolutely wonderful. Hot, seasoned, and crunchy. Try Murphys, I'm sure you'll be pleased. read more

I have been dining at Murphy's off and on for the past 20 years! The restaurant has had its ups and downs. On my most recent visit I was pleasantly surprised! The building was the same. It still has that historic building charm. The night became a memory for the books for my wife and I. Autumn, our server, made our night very special. She was attentive and gracious. Even lighting a candle for my dear wife's birthday! My wife had the strawberry rhubarb martini it was to die for!! The food was incredible. I started with a wedge salad and then the filet. It was tender and cooked a perfect medium rare. The best part was the New York cheesecake, their dessert special! Highly recommend. read more

I ordered the prime rib, approx cost $48. It was served room temperature, it was very tough and it required a big saw-like knife to cut it. It came with a rosemary/garlic mashed potato which was also luke warm and had no taste of the herbs. Instead, of creamy, it was watered down and could easily pass for powdered potato. I gave Murphy's 2 stars because the waitress did everything to help and the GM promised to investigate. The wine was delicious... read more

The bartender was great!! The food service was poor we have been here 2 hours just got our appetizers

We went to Murphy's last Sunday with several friends. The restaurant was not very busy. Four of the eight of us had to send our food back because it was cold. I ordered a Cesar salad, the waitress forgot it. I reminded her and she said she would get it. "It never came". Im not a picky eater, but our food was horrible. I ordered the Sheppards pie and on a scale of 1-5, I would rate it a 2. My wife had a Rueben sandwich. The bread was so hard we actually had a hard time cutting it. The drinks were good BUT way over priced. We will not be going back! read more

What happened here? $48 for a NY steak and baked potato? What happened to the veggie side? New menu, but missing some old favs.

The prime rib was out. At 7:30pm. The ribeye was cold and flavorless. The brocollini The same. Over an hour for food. Gross.

Always enjoyed Murphy's happy hour in the past. Went there on 3 June, about 3:30 PM. The place was practically empty. The noticed the happy hour menus were no longer there and we were informed that the 3 to 6 happy hour is now 3 to 5 and there is no separate menu. All the favorites are gone. Happy hour is now 2 dollars off the house wine (what is the house wine and how much is it?) and some drinks. A few appetizers on the menu are also a couple off the regular price. Now, to the menu: I already mentioned favorites are gone. a shrimp cocktail is now 32 dollars for 3 shrimp, oysters are 18 dollars each(!), a steak is 57 dollars, and sides are apparently extra. The small ceaser salad is 9 dollars. We told the server we'll be leaving. She understood and told us the staff is not happy with this state of affairs either. With these prices, and reading the other bad reviews, I believe Murphy's will not last. We will not be back. read more

It just keeps getting better. I fell in love with my now-husband 34 years ago over two dinners at Murphy's, and we've been returning ever since. The holiday magic of decorations and music just makes it even better. This time Trevor was our server, and he was a stellar reflection on the entire establishment: so personable, so attentive, so courteous and interesting. We almost felt like a friend by the time we left. The food rose to his level as well: the prime rib and salmon were tender, succulent, flavorful to an almost transformative level. And truffle fries were at their best. We left replete, relaxed, and grateful that Murphy's is still bringing it's A-plus game. read more

First time here, celebrating a birthday, the only great thing we had was the prime rib dinner so if you're coming for dinner here you have to splurge on their prime rib that's what their specialty is the rest of the food was just OK read more

I had the best steak. It was incredible. It was pricey but trust me it was absolutely worth every penny
