SERVICE: Great service. FOOD: I bought fried catfish dinner to go. For $22, I was less than impressed. - catfish was nice and thick, but was very bland... had no flavor - french fries were actually raw. The potatoes were still white. If I wouldn't have already been home when I opened the box, I would've sent them back. I had to air fry them to finish cooking them. - hush puppies were small and taste like cornbread mix right out of the box... no seasoning read more

Went to dinner with family due to its location to an event at the local university. Waitress took almost ten minutes to take our drink order. Then another ten minutes to take entree order. The salad bar, which was highly touted on the menu and by the server was very much lackluster. The lettuce had brown edges, and the selection of items was not great. Gumbo was served without rice, or even a spoon. The hamburger is served on a poboy bun, which is fine...but one patty was overcooked and the other was extremely rare, which left a reddish tint to the fries and bottom of the bread. Family that had the grilled catfish and grilled tuna were happy with their dishes. This place needs to step it up on consistency. It has a great location, a very welcoming atmosphere, but the service and some of the food were well below par. read more

Service is courteous and very attentive. The FOOD, is excellent! The wife had 1/2 shrimp 1/2 catfish/w fries. I had Spaghetti w/meatballs & a side salad. All was great. The atmosphere is casual and comfort. Brought home a serving of bread pudding for later. Too full for dessert right now. By the way, the serving sizes are tremendous. You will take some home!! read more

Had delivery and absolutely loved it! The shrimp Po' Boy was fantastic...soft bread, bigger shrimp, perfectly breaded with generous lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and pickles to add as desired. The mayo was light and could always use more shrimp but overall it is a terrific classic! The shrimp and crab gumbo needed no hot sauce or sprucing up of any kind, perfect flavor and consistency. The only thing that could have been better is if the same deveined shrimp used for the po' boy we're in the gumbo. Overall, strongly recommended and would love to explore other items on the menu as soon as possible! read more

I can only give a review on their breakfasts oh my God they are awesome from the sausage biscuit to the full big breakfast. I would not get breakfast anywhere else, but at MasterChef, I have not had the opportunity to purchase their hamburgers nor the weekly specials, but the breakfast is 100% with me. read more

Eh is really all I have to say to this place. Food was ok and the salad bar I added to my entree was fine but I do think it is a little overpriced. Me and my husband have passed this multiple times while dropping my brother off to southeastern so we stopped in this time. We were seated quickly and the server was really nice. It was the quality of the food that got me. We shared a seafood platter but if your really hungry that might not be enough for two to share. My husband tried the crab cake I think it was and I've never seen him get rid of something so fast before. He said it tasted freezer burnt and it was not good at all. Seafood should not taste freezer burnt especially in Louisiana. My drink tasted like juice more than anything which sucks but maybe the bartender may be the only issue with that. Overall it was average but don't think we will be back with the options around the area. read more

A nice family oriented seafood restaurant. You are treated with a friendly smile by the hostess and left in great hands with your server. You recieve prompt, courteous service from the get-go. Now it wasn't very busy or crowded at the time so, I couldn't tell you what kind of service you would get when the place is packed. It was myself, my wife and our daughter stopping in for lunch. We all started with the endless salad bar. Our daughter had the crawfish etouffee (and most Louisianans are very peculiar about their etouffee's) this had great flavor and tastes great. My wife had the grilled catfish which came with a baked potato that she said was flavorful and cooked to perfection. I had the catfish Daniel which is fried catfish topped with crawfish etouffee. This was awesome. Needless to say, we left no room for dessert and you definitely get your money's worth. read more

I'm giving one star because the place is clean and the service was good. We ordered onion rings and crawfish soup to start. Soup tasted like a velveta base. It was ok but not great. Onion rings were good but came out room temperature. The grilled chicken was very blah! No flavor. The fried seafood was in a cornmeal mixture. The shrimp had to have been breaded and then frozen. They looked and tasted like imported iqf shrimp . Something a chain restaurant would serve. The bill for two was $67.00. A complete waste of hard earned money. read more

I didn't enjoy my meal here. Fish was ok. Mozzarella sticks are pretty bland. Went in a big group and others didn't like their meal as well.

My brother is down from the frozen tundra. He wants to eat shrimp as much as possible when visiting. We decided to go to Murphy's as I had not been there before. We were greeted by the hostess. The restaurant was well lit. We were seated. Our waiter was very polite and took our drink order. We were there just before 5 pm. We had 4 in our party. My brother, SIL, and wife all order fried shrimp. I ordered shrimp and catfish. The shrimp were Gulf shrimp, nothing imported. The shrimp batter was crunchy just the way I like it. The shrimp plates had at least 12 shrimp each. Food was very good. Definitely will be going again. I liked it better than the other guy's seafood place in town. read more

Great food, staff was great, we had two babies with us and they were accommodating with the group we had. We will definitely return.

Great food and service. Soups are outstanding and the platter portions are enough for two!!!!

Great food great service best experience all the way around.,Something for everyone on the menu .

I've been going to Murphy's since the 80's. Has always been a good solid place to eat. However lately, the food and salad bar is lacking in quality and their entree's are becoming overpriced. We were there last weekend and for 4 guests it was over $200.00 dollars and that was with no alcohol. We drank water. Might just have to look for other places to eat. read more

Ordered the eggplant Sarah and honestly this might be the best thing I've ever eaten. We got it to go and I think it would taste even better in the restaurant. It came with three perfectly fried eggplant slices, al dente Angel hair pasta, tons of tender crawfish tails and this perfectly seasoned creamy sauce. If I lived close by I would eat there at least once a week. Luckily my family lives nearby so I'll be back! read more

Have eaten here a couple of times now, and have enjoyed it each time. Since my son is now attending SELU, this is our go to place for seafood in the Hammond area. The fried shrimp is probably some of the best that I have eaten. Lightly breaded and fried to perfection. The portions are big for what you pay for too. Also you can get the salad bar for a couple of dollars more and is great for what you pay for it. The service is always on spot, since keeping my glass full is important to me. Great food, Great service and friendly people is what you can expect from Murphy's Seafood. read more

Hidden treasure! Everything was awesome. Very friendly and responsive staff. Food was delicious and fresh. We were pleasantly surprised with this gem. We will be back. read more

We couldn't have been treated any better and our food was delicious. We highly recommend this place to eat..everything was so good.

All I can say is "WOW" Our son graduated from Southeastern university "Lion up" and had no idea about his awesome restaurant in Hammond. Yelpalicious is an understatement. Nice place, decor is nice, food fantastic. Great salad bar complete with marinated artichoke, pasta salad and potato salad top with homemade dressings. Ordered their "homemade" meatballs off appetizer menu and they were as advertised by our incredible waitress Kaitlin. Best meatballs ever! And then we ordered artichoke and crab soup. I have had soup and bisque all over the US and this is tops. Unbelievable consistency, taste, lots of crab meat and we had to have a second bowl. Seconds came with soup and salad. A great dining experience without expensive prices. Service was great. Highly recommend and will be back for sure. read more

This place is only 1.5 miles off the freeway and is nothing fancy inside but the food is to die for!! Sooo good.

We just had an excellent experience at Murphy's Seafood as we were passing through. The bartender/waitress was absolutely amazing. The salad bar was to die for. I could have only gotten the salad bar, and been completely satisfied. Our fried seafood platter consisted of oysters, catfish, a crab cake, hush puppies, and french fries with excellent, homemade tartar and cocktail sauces. Prices were reasonable. $20 for the entire seafood platter which we split and had plenty left over, and only $4 to add the all-you-can-eat salad bar to an entree. Very pleased with our experience at Murphy's today. read more

my family and a couple friends went to Murphy's tonight after attending a wake. All I can say is very very disappointed. My wife and a friend of ours ordered the shrimp on bun I ordered a shrimp Poboy now let me just say I have eaten shrimp Poboys all over Louisiana and every one of them was running over with fried shrimp. Well that was not the case with the one I received at Murphy's I received a 8 inch piece of Poboy bun with 7 shrimp on it the bread was not even covered. I asked if there was a mistake with the sandwich. After asking the waitress she took the Poboy and the shrimp on bun that my wife had ordered witch only had 5 small shrimp on it to the kitchen to see why they only had a few shrimp on them. After a few minutes the owner came out with both of the sandwiches boxed up and he told me this is how they serve there shrimp sandwiches . My wife asked him why so few shrimp and he said that's just how they are.she said with only 5 small shrimp and with a attitude he said yes she do y'all actually count the shrimp. He said yes with a very unprofessional bad attitude. I'm not one to complain but this was the most ridiculous experience I have ever had at a restaurant. The owner said he could care less if ever came back there again. I've included the pictures of the sandwiches you be the judge in read more

I went in for a to go order and ordered at the bar. At first everything went well. I later decided to add crab claws to my order and asked the woman behind the counter (didn't get her name bc no one had name tags on but I believe she was Hispanic with dyed blonde hair, black at roots). She tells me I don't take orders. Um ok I am a paying customer, can you maybe get someone who can take my order because that was useless information. And why were you behind the counter so long if not to assist. She literally was leaning on the counter the whole time. Once I got someone to take my order I was overcharged and asked why I wasn't charged the menu price of $17 for crab claws. To this she responds the prices recently went up. Ok what does that have to do with me. I ordered based on your menu! Totally ridiculous. Definitely not coming back. But I will say Sarah C (name on receipt) was friendly. read more

I would say overall the experience was very pleasant the service was very attentive and quick that atmosphere was quiet and enjoyable. My only issue would be with the red sauce that was used on the cheese sticks and Parmesan dish. It was too sweet and almost had a "out of the can" flavor. read more

Went here tonight after my niece's graduation. We were seated after about 25 min. We ordered and it took an hour to get our food. I ordered the seafood combo catfish and shrimp. The shrimp were very small and the hush puppies were small and seemed like the kind you get from the frozen section at the supermarket. My wife ordered the seafood platter but ordered all shrimp because she loves shrimp. They brought her the wrong order. When they finally brought her plate out it was just a small order of shrimp. Don't understand how this place got such high reviews. I guess I'm just spoiled by seafood restaurants like The Chimes and Parrain's. Next year when my nephew graduates, we'll prolly just go down the street to Don's. read more

Service with a smile ! I ordered the chicken pasta, and I can't even cap, it was a straight gas! Food came out fast and the waitress was very attentive and nice. The meal was $10, a great price. Altogether a great meal, service, and restaurant. Highly recommended for those trying to catch some chill vibes (No ) read more

The seafood was fried too hard. The shrimp and oysters tasted like bleach. The fries were cold. The price we paid was way to high for the food received! We will never go back! Seafood cut my mouth it was fried so hard. read more

Murphy's Seafood has a plain, but nice, neat, & clean exterior and interior. It could be described as cozy and somewhat upscale. I ordered the Seafood Platter ($20.00), which came with a side of baked potato (but, other choices, like broccoli, were offered as well), along with an outstanding crab cake (loaded with big chunks of crab meat), big strips of catfish, fairly large and succulent fried shrimp, and tiny oysters (this is a bad year for oysters). The baked potato was big. The seafood batter was light tasting and not greasy. Overall, this is as good a seafood restaurant as any other in southeastern Louisiana. I highly recommend it. By the way, they are also noted for their Italian dishes and steaks. RJT read more

We are in Louisiana for the weekend and have been hitting different seafood restaurants between Breaux Bridge and Hammond since our part of Texas (DFW) doesn't have a lot of good ones. We're really glad we gave Murphy's a try tonight. If you're like us, atmosphere and service are something we care about as much, or more, than the food. We had fried catfish, fried shrimp, french fries and hush puppies, with a piece of pecan pie to go. The food was really good, and piled high on the plate, but the service was above and beyond. There was a party of @ 30 in part of the restaurant, so we were told it would be a wait considering all of their orders had just gone in. Not a problem, we sat and talked. Our waitress, Emma, came quickly to get our drink orders filled and checked with us frequently until we finally decided what we wanted. All of the wait staff was helping serve the large party, but they were hopping like crazy making sure the rest of the customers were also taken care of. Philip, the owner, came to talk with us multiple times and gave us suggestions of activities not too far away. It was apparent that he cares about his customers AND staff. Every person that walked through the door got a special greeting (even hugs for some), while he was also serving food, bussing tables and helping his staff however he could...all of them with smiles on their faces. This was definitely a hometown family restaurant and you need to check them out if you're passing through or anywhere near. read more

I'm 70 years old. I've been eating at Murphy's off and on since I was in college. Back then the food was outstanding with the first generation Murphy's. The restaurant was in an old wooden building. Business was booming so the Murphy's built the restaurant they are in now. Eventually the son of Mr. and Mrs. Murphy took over the business. The food was still good but portions got smaller. No big deal. Now I think the grandson of Mr. and Mrs. Murphy has been running the restaurant for the past few years and I heard he went to culinary school. In last few years I have noticed a decline in food quality and more emphasis on profit. Today I gave Murphys another try. The salad was fresh and tasted good. The fried eggplant appetizer with tomato sauce was good. NOW......the fried catfish topped with crawfish etouffee sauce(catfish Diane) was NASTY. The sauce instead if being pink with pink crawfish was dark brown and the crawfish were dark brown almost black. After a few bites I figured what the nasty taste was. They used leftover crawfish from a crawfish boil which had the taste of boiled crawfish Ingredients. I'm not a chef but leftover boiled crawfish from a crawfish boil do not belong in etouffee sauce. The crawfish were over cooked and mushy. The catfish fillets were tiny. Also, after other customers finished their meal and were leaving I noticed a lot of food left on their plates. I liked the food at Murphy's from years ago when it was NOT culinary school influenced. The waitress and service was good. read more

They need more wait staff. Waited 20 minutes before being seated or getting a menu. Wait staff were serving a handful of tables but ignored us standing up front. Food was ok, but drove a long way to try this and would not repeat it. read more
