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

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

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

Nice location and atmosphere. But the food has never impressed me, it is good but nothing special.

Murphy's in Prescott was such a wonderful surprise. The atmosphere was inviting, the service was excellent, and the food truly stood out. I ordered the salmon with a baked potato and green beans, and everything was prepared perfectly. The carrot cake for dessert was the perfect finish. David, the GM, made the evening even better -- he's warm, engaging, and full of great stories. Definitely ask for him when you go. A five-star experience all the way. read more

The vibe here is like a fine dining restaurant. They serve prime rib every day. The concierge at the Hassayampa Inn recommended this place. We weren't hungry enough for a large meal, but they had plenty of other options. I got the coconut shrimp and the asparagus appetizer for my meal. The shrimp was just okay. They were not bad, but nothing special. The asparagus was delicious. My wife got the prime rib dip sandwich. This was DELICIOUS. I would highly recommend this sandwich. My wife could only eat half, so I got to eat the other half. It came with the au jus and and creamy horseradish. Our server did a great job and was very attentive. Had the coconut shrimp been better, I would have given them 5 stars. I would recommend this restaurant. read more

Great location just off the center of downtown Prescott. Menu had a great variety for lunch, sandwiches are big and very filling. Service was attentive and friendly. read more

Murphy's Restaurant - Murphys at the corner of East Willis and North Cortez. - Seafood Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

The food is absolutely outstanding here! This restaurant is set in an old General Store but the food is anything but mundane. The seafood was as fresh as anything we eat at home in San Diego and I wasn't expecting a five star steakhouse in this sleepy little town, but that is exactly what we got. Crab cakes, shrimp cocktail and filets were all Delicious and perfectly cooked read more

Used to be a great steakhouse! Sub par and overpriced now... I'm better off with a nice steak from Costco grilled at home! So sad when an iconic restaurant loses its reputation! What difference does service make when the food is blah! read more

the mashed potatoes were creamy and smooth no lumps at all they paired so well with the ribs like they were made to go together even my friend who doesn't like potatoes finished the whole scoop read more

We really enjoyed our evening at Murphy's. Our waitress, Fatima,was friendly, professional and really added to our experience. We had the roasted chicken and prime rib dip. Both were really tasty. Would definitely recommend. read more

My wife and I went for our anniversary. It was a wonderful experience! We both had their signature dish the prime rib. Having a lot of experience cooking it myself, I have to say it was cooked perfectly! The staff was very attentive and appreciative. Especially, Kate who took great care of us! I read some negative reviews but based on our experience, they are making an effort to be a highly respected restaurant. We highly recommend Murphy's and will return. read more

Just had a wonderful Valentine's dinner at Murphy's this evening. RThe service was great! The ambiance was very nice. The meal was delicious. My husband and I had the surf and turf. The meat and fish were outstanding! There was lots of food. We brought home the dessert. And we have dinner for tomorrow night! Yeah! A big thank you to all the Murphy's staff that made our Valentine's evening special! read more

Awesome Prime Rib - cooked and seasoned perfectly!!! Appetizers were spot on!!! All servers were great and Kendall was the Best Ever!!! Bartenders here know what they are doing - all my bros enjoyed the best, fresh beer on tap and their margaritas were perfect (made with Patron Anejo!!!) We are coming back to try other items on the menu! 5 SOLID STARS !!!!! read more

Loved the ambiance here. The restaurant really is beautiful. My husband and l shared the 2 entrees and one appetizer for $45. It was a great deal. We both enjoyed the prime rib for entrees and shared the mac and cheese appetizer. The mac and cheese was probably the prettiest mac and cheese l have seen in decades, if not ever. They use the large shells for the pasta and they were beautiful. I unfortunately didn't enjoy their flavor as much as their presentation, sadly they were a bit bland. But kudos for them making them from scratch and being beautiful! The prime rib was nice. Mine came with rice pilaf and l would choose something else next time. It was also bland and a flavor l didn't care for. The prime rib itself was lovely and the amount for the price was generous. My husband got fries and he enjoyed them. The kids' meals were also nice and my kids enjoyed their chicken nuggets, fruit, and french fries. Our server was Riley and he was very kind. My one complaint was the bar service. My friend ordered a non alcoholic drink and everyone who ordered an alcoholic drink got theirs quickly. She had to ask about 3 times and it finally arrived but it took at least 40 mins, if not longer. It was almost comical with how long it took. But not if you're thirsty. Every time l passed the bar there was no one there nor any customers sitting there. So it didn't look too busy. Sometimes I find the worst service occurs when an establishment is not busy and during off times (rush times seem to be better for customers, but prob not servers and staff). This is Prescott though. So my four star rating is because this area really lacks good eateries. Would l come back for a nice meal here in the future? Yes. Would l come back if this restaurant was located in a more popular area with more high end offerings? Prob not. That being said, l think it's an iconic landmark for Prescott and l would come back in the future. read more

mashed potatoes were smooth no lumps went well with the ribs not as heavy as I thought actually pretty comforting read more

I love this restaurant and have been a patron for like 20 years at least. The atmosphere, especially in the bar area, is clubby and reminiscent of a traditional steakhouse, and is decorated with Prescott memorabilia. The service is excellent, especially if you are fortunate enough to have SHAWNA as your server. Murphy's mixes the BEST martini in town, and the appetizers and happy hour menu are wonderful and hearty. The menu is creative and variable, and you will be able to find whatever you are in the move for. Everything is fresh and well-prepared. I highly recommend Murphy's for lunch, dinner, or happy hour. Murphy's is on point. read more

Made an early reservation, had a party of 4 and all were expecting to order dinner and drinks. The service, from both the kitchen and the bar was so poor, we asked to cancel our order. It had been 1 hour. The entrees happened to be delivered shortly after. Mgt offered free dessert. None taken. The coconut shrimp was sent back due to being cooked in bad oil. We loved this.place. Not what we expected. read more

Can't recommend except for maybe a drink and some ambiance. The menu advertises "Roasted Chicken" - and $24 gets you: a small fist-sized "airline" chicken portion consisting of a boneless breast with a wing bone sticking out, and 1 - ONE - side. Quality issues aside from this were discussed and resolved with management. SMH read more

Murphy's Restaurant - Yup! $24 for that! - Seafood Near Me - Prescott, Arizona

We went to Murphy's just for dessert one evening. The manager was sodown to earth, professional and accommodating. We ordered another dessert, and the manager brought us a complimentary pineapple brownie! It was the most delicious, tropical delight you have ever eaten. The unique flavors of this pineapple delicacy were to die for! This restaurant has terrific management, fantastic service and unique food and desserts! Never a disappointment! Try it! You'll thank me later! read more

My wife and I recently purchased a summer home in Prescott. I love a good prime rib - something that I do not cook at home. Murphys looked like a classic steak house. The interior and decor showed like a premium steak/ chop house. But, unfortunately, that is where the similarity ended. We recently had dinner at Murphys. The waiter was an idiot and the cook was unskilled. I ordered a medium-cooked prime rib, which should mean that the center 50% was pink. What I received was medium rare to rare, with the center being red. I sent the plate back. It was returned to me in about the same condition, so I sent it back again. So now this is the 3rd time the plate/meat is served to me. It is now served medium, but the baked potato and vegetables are luke warm. In conclusion, eat at Murphys and be prepared to pay a premium price for poor service and poor food preparation. read more

Mediocre at best-spent $80 on a ribeye and a glass of wine. Ribeye was overcooked twice and 1/4 of an inch thin. Veggies were good but everything was under seasoned. Better going anywhere else for steak read more

Went to Murphy's to celebrate a birthday and we were a little disappointed. Started with drinks and calamari. Drinks were well made and did not disappoint. The calamari was ok. For dinner we ordered a ribeye and the stroganoff. For the price of $50,the ribeye wasn't that flavorful. Could have ordered a topping but that would just add to the cost. Stroganoff was good but nothing spectacular. Ordered cheesecake for dessert and it was good. Service was great and the atmosphere was historical and clean. Overall for the price we have had much better and more options for sides. Probably won't go back. read more

We had friends visiting and drove up to Prescott for a couple days. We spent a lot of time on Whiskey Row but ventured off to Murphy's. Super old place with an amazing ceiling, bar and history. Water and hot bread arrived quickly and our drink orders were taken. Hubs and I both had Bulleit Manhattan's and they were perfect. For dinner I went with Guinness French Onion soup and crab cakes. The soup was phenomenal! I loved my crab cakes but I'm not a huge fan of green bell peppers. Fortunately, there weren't a lot. Hubs and our friend had prime rib and mashed potatoes. Hubs could almost cut it with a fork. They really enjoyed it. Our friends wife had a Cesar salad with blackened chicken. It was huge! She brought more than half back to the condo. The service was great and we didn't have to wait or ask for anything. We will certainly be back. read more

The ambiance was great. The staff all had smiled. The food tasted delicious and the atmosphere was excellent. Anyone new to Prescott AZ should definitely try this restaurant out. read more

I live in Prescott, and I don't usually write reviews but was so pleased with our Prime Rib dinners last night I thought I need to write a review. The prime rib was great; the green beans were some of the bests I have ever had in a restaurant, fresh and slightly crispy, Good baked potato. Samantha was our server and seemed to work hard to ensure we had a good experience. We will be back. read more

It used to be a great place and great food. Not so much anymore. The food is not great it is more like stuff from California....yuppie crud. The service is horrible not the same polite service. The ambiance is meh, not all that. It's a shame to. We used to come here all the time through the years, but when you want to change things from awesome to bad you lost a few customers. read more

Took our family to Murphy's for Fathers Day. We haven't been there and were exctied to try it. A hostess greated us promptly and seated us. She was very nice and got our drinks quickly. Everyone at the table ordered something different and we started out with shrimp and calamari. Both were good. In about 20 minutes we were served our crab mac & cheese. The pasta was over cooked and mushy. We were so hungry that we picked on it for 30 minutes til we were finally served our main courses. The plates were hot and the food was tepid at best. Prime rim was so tough that no one in our party ate it, the mahi mahi was dry and difficult to cut, let alone eat. This was the most expensive meal that no one in our party liked at all. Will not be returning and we took the leftovers home to the dog. Very dissapointing. read more

We've ben coming here for 25 years but sadly it has been going downhill for the past few so we won't be back. The escargot used to be the best we'd ever had but now it's covered in mozzarella, has mustard in the butter, etc...terrible. The bread used to be amazing but now it's gummy and stodgey. And the last time our friend's dinner came out over 30 minutes before ours so we finally had to just cancel our dinners and leave. The staff was huddled at the bar for literally 45 minutes having a good time while tables went unserviced. This makes us so sad since it was our favorite restaurant. read more

My wife and I showed on Thanksgiving to find they had no record of our reservation. I showed the hostess my phone when I called a few weeks back but, got nowhere, unless we wanted to sit in the back facing the wall. Fortunately, the manager Jim stepped in; professional, polite and accommodating. He offered us a spot at the bar, introduced us to the bar staff as his "special VIP guests" and comped a few things to make up for the mix up. Suffice it to say we had the best time! Jim came by often to check on us (apologized multiple times) and the bartenders, Damian and Cooper were the best! Various on the house shots appeared during our meal and the treatment was first class. What could have turned into a horrible night became a favorite experience. Thank you again Jim!! read more

Sushi was fresh and flavorful. The dragon roll was a standout. Service was prompt. Cozy atmosphere. Will visit again.

This is a great place with great steaks and prime rib. My wife and I love the place and have been back several times. Service is top notch and we love the history in the building. read more

We went there tonight for dinner with friends. The service was beyond slow. I ordered the coconut shrimp when it finally came 45 minutes later if not longer the oil it was fried in was rancid! They took it off the bill but I was starving! Who would wait another 45 for another dish? They apologized for the wait and said they were down two people in the kitchen. The other three said their meal was decent. I'm sorry no second chances for me. read more

Staff is friendly and efficient! Food never disappoints. Love their seasonal menus for drinks and food. Nice local vibe.

Absolutely terrible experience. We wanted to meet our daughter here for a nice dinner. Ordered drinks and we were sorely disappointed. Ordered a wedge salad for an appetizer. It never came out!! After 30 minutes we cancelled our order, paid the bill and left. Since this is my hometown I can only say, go somewhere else that values your business. read more

Where do I begin! My husband and I came here for a date night. We just wanted a few drinks and some apps. It did not disappoint!! Although they were out of oysters, supplier was behind schedule. We started off with Shrimp cocktail. It was a new experience with a different take on the cocktail sauce. My husband then had the French dip and I had the French onion soup. And it was a ballpark hit. We had old fashions, and I had Madras. Everything was amazing. Our bartender Billy was the hit of the night and always eager to help suggest new things!! We finished the night off with Carrot cake! We will be back whenever we come back to town! read more

Food & service were okay. Might go back, might not. Fairly nice interior. Deceptive exterior.

the ribs here are really easy to enjoy the flavor suits me not too sweet not too spicy just right didn't even need extra sauce

We were told this was a great place for dinner. Maybe at one time, but not on the night we went there. The food was ok, given the cost. The service was medicore. We will not be back. read more

We had a party of seven, including three teenagers. The service was great and the food was excellent! Kids tried several things they'd never tried before and they were surprised at how delicious it all was!! The restaurant is a short walk to whiskey row so we also enjoyed the holiday lights and displays! Perfect evening!! read more
