Went for lunch on Sunday with my husband and grandchildren. The server was very attentive and the food was superb.

Atrocious pricing, refusal to actually fill orders correctly, and portion are a complete joke. My other half ordered a pickup meal that included a sandwich, an extra side of pickle chips for $10, another extra side of sweet potato fries for $8, and a kids order of popcorn shrimp for $10. They decided to omit the fries that come with the kids order and add exactly 13 pickle chips to it. Providing us not with what we paid for and a disappointment all around. The popcorn shrimp was consumed with disappointment for a lack of fries, my partner was disappointed that so little pickle chips were received instead of the proper side that was ordered. $20 charged for one item that was worth less than the two items ordered that were falsely combined. Then we unpacked the side of sweet potato fries to find exactly 10 fries, for $8, I remind you. It looks like maybe one potato was cut up to provide this side. To feed all of us when we expected a container full of them. The real kicker is that they were still hard and partially uncooked. The sandwich was the only item that was provided correctly. This is the second time they've failed to provide an order as we made it. We will never be returning. What a joke. The food doesn't even taste that good. It all tastes and looks cheap. Photos: Sweet potato fries, sandwich order. Not pictured: The joke of the combined kids meal/side that wasn't filled correctly. It was consumed before we decided to write the review. read more

We ordered Bacon Burgers with fries & they were very good. The burger is huge but they need to give you more fries. The waitress was really busy but did a great job checking on us. All in all a great bar but with all the tall steps it is not handicap friendly at all. A nice ramp into the front door would be great! read more

Murphy's Wagon Wheel - Bars Near Me - Hastings, Nebraska

We are from Tennessee andwere in Hastings quail hunting for the week. We walked in and a young waitress looked at us and said, "We're full." She didn't offer to take our name or anything. Terrible and so rude! It's a shame because we make a point to come to Nebraska to upland hunt every year. We will NOT be back. read more

Worst food I have ever had. Terrible. I've lived in Nebraska all my life and this was garbage. Service was OK. Food was awful. Yuck.

When someone said, "Well, why did you order a steak at a burger joint?" the only thing I could think of was, "Why didn't they say this BEFORE I ordered the steak!" Atmosphere is solid. Love the layout and friendliness of the staff and patrons. We were in from out of town, and this place was recommended as a good place to eat. I'd have given it a 5-star had my steak be solid, but it was far from that. A 5 oz, bacon-wrapped, medium rare filet mignon sounded perfect. Problem is it was medium - maybe even medium well. No pink. NONE. I should've set my expectations at $17.99, but they should have medium rare down. The flavor was fair, the steak was tender...but it was anything but medium rare. I mentioned it to my server, and he apologized but nothing else. Young kid - maybe 22 with blonde hair. He was fantastic in the first round but quickly faded to the point where we had to go get him to continue serving us. Additionally, we ordered cheese balls as an app (with a filet! Ha). The first order had MAYYYBE 10 on the plate. We ordered a second, which had many more. Learn to cook a steak correctly and I'll be back. read more

Was there couple weekends ago, fish my child ordered was overcooked the cheese balls were extremely greasy my wife sandwich had no flavor to it, my burger was fine but still get 1 star because we set next to the employee register station they like to talk around there and they can't say one sentence with out using the f word read more

This place is a piece of poop and honestly deserves -2.5 stars(Heads up, this is the pg version). I don't even know where to begin. As soon as I pulled into the parking lot, this place looked sketch...but yes, I went to the restaurant anyways. To start, they gave away our RESERVED TABLE and split my group up into 5 tables. Strike 1 But now to the important stuff. The waitress didn't even hand out our menus until 15 min. after we sat down. And better yet, they didn't even have enough menus to go around the restaurant. Strike 2. Even after we sat down, drinks didn't come for another 10 min. Strike 3. When it finally came to order, my table ordered two appetizers which were decent, however it took over 30 min. For a few fried pickles and frozen cheeze curds to come out. Are you kidding me? It takes about 30 sec to fry pickles...Strike 4 The worst part is when it came to the main course. Lets just say DO NOT order anything that has to be cooked. This includes chicken, steak, burgers, and all of the above. If you have to come to this restaurant (which I don't know why you would) order a salad. That might come out within an hour. You might be wondering, "why not order a burger" well unless you like eating pink ground beef straight off the shelf from Walmart I would not order a burger. And also, if you like your steak bloody and still walking on four legs, this place is the place for you. Here the service sucks, and the cooks in the back must be blind because they couldn't cook a medium rare steak if their life depended on it. (And also the chicken was pink). (This was strike 4, 5, 6, and 7). I would continue to write this review, but I have to go throw up now. read more

the waitress was absolutely horrible!!! forgot multiple things than when trying to leave she wanted to clear out the table wouldn't move so we could get out of the booth, instead had a shitty attitude!! read more

Excellent Nebraska steaks - local environment and service as big cities ought to be. Unique country atmosphere with great personal service

Was traveling and decided to stop. Ordered a burger and the bun had mold on it. Also talked to a few other people around me that had the same issue and had to send the food back. Will not be back anytime soon. This used to be my go-to spot when in town, but has clearly went down hill since management change. read more

This place has went down hill. I've been coming here for over 20 years. Had the smoked turkey sandwich. It was so so. Asked for their bbq sauce and the bartender girl acted shocked. Came later with it and it tasted nasty. ( rancid?). I noticed hey charged extra for the sauce and kindly asked for it to be taken off my check. Again she, reacted with a negative attitude (rolling eyes). My main reason for this review is for the hope that the owner sees it read more

The menu has been changing as well as their prices. The quality of the food is always a bit or miss. The service is good though and the staff is very friendly. To go orders are ready very quick. read more

Worst place ever we had repeat or drinks three times in different occasions, order wings with sauce on all the wings came with sauce off and the waitress told us that the cook did not want to put the sauce on it and everything is cold,last plate never showed up Worst place ever read more

The onion rings are absolutely terrible. After two bites I was done. Steak was also not to great. At least it was edible but also I did not finish as well. Waiter didn't even ask how they were but took my plate and came back with the check. read more

Unique environment and friendly staff but our food was less than subpar. Our chicken wings were dry, sauce lacked flavor and fries needed salt to give it any taste. read more

This is a very nice place to eat. Great food and excellent courteous service. Plenty parking. Clean inside and out.

Friday night, smaller crowd than usual. Ordered the mushroom swiss burger and cheese balls. Burger was dry and bland. Had to douse the cheese balls in ranch to get any flavor. This place is filthy. The condiment holder had ketchup everywhere, the cup of water had a brown stain at the bottom. The bucket of beer was so rusted at the bottom. It leaked all over the table. Waitress replaced the bucket but didn't bother cleaning up the spill. The beer was nice and cold. Will not return for a long time. read more

Murphy's Wagon Wheel - Comdiment holder. Who wants to look at that while eating? - Bars Near Me - Hastings, Nebraska

Murphy's is definitely a must stop for booze and bar food when in Hastings. The space is huge and can accommodate very large groups, and their wait staff is always busting their asses to keep the drinks flowing and the food coming. The food is good bar food fare. My favorite thing on the menu is their club sandwich. I always order it when I'm here. I also love their nachos, they are piled to the ceiling with toppings and cheese. Yum. Also, they have pretty damn good curly fries and wings. This place can get pretty loud and crazy on the weekends, so I wouldn't consider coming here if you're looking for a quiet night out. read more

I love Murphy's!!! Wing night is a must and the space is so cool! It's very open and has a lot of room, and the bar is separate from the restaurant so you can get different atmosphere's for your mood or party. I had my party here and the staff is very accommodating. They let my boyfriend in early to set up decorations and kept our cake in the freezer and split our checks which was nice!! The food is so good too!! I love the salads and chicken strips and fries!! and like I said before the wings are awesome!! read more

The number 1 reason I go to Murphy's: WINGS! (get the Franks or Jalapeno) Also, I had a blast on St. Patty's :) I would like to point out that they have several bartenders that I felt were unprofessional. I've also experience some hostility from their wait staff. On the other hand, some of the waitresses are awesome ppl. ..Its really just a luck of the draw kinda thing. read more

As a first time customer I felt the need to post. Our waitress was on top of her game. The wings are HUGE, and the fries were good. I do not recommend the steak, it wasn't seasoned and had a liking to lighter fluid. If you know, you know. read more

Yikes. To begin with, our server did not share her name, smile or even attempt to welcome us when we came in. She had a poor attitude the entire time of our service that displayed that she did not want to be there and did not want to be serving us. We felt very unwelcome and deterred by her rude attitude. It took her over 15 minutes to even come to our table and bring us menus.. and even longer to get our drink order after making eye contact and looking at us numerous times. She was cleaning tables and doing others things, which can be an understandable part of her job, with a simple "I will be right with you folks" but she failed to do even that. After waiting 15 minutes for simple appetizers and an additional 30+ minutes at the least for our food, our cheese sticks were cold and the main meals were not pleasant tasting at all. She also failed to check on us at all to see if we needed anything additional for our meals or if we needed drink refills through out our time there. Our bill was over $100.00, but by our treatment you would have thought we sat there for hours bumming off of water and free popcorn. The overall experience was very poor and I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone if the current staff stays in place. read more

Came all the way from KCMO. Had wings and Texas Toothpicks and a beer or two! Good food and the bar staff (we sat at the bar as we didn't have a lot of time) was amazing!!! Highly recommend! read more

This has always been one of my go to places. Had not been for a while because of the COVID. Was disappointing. I know restaurants are hurting, but the chicken breast was less than half the size that it usually is. I want to help local restaurants but come on. Waitress was friendly and very good but the food was very disappointing. read more

Fair at best. I ordered the bacon cheeseburger and the pattie was set on the bun covered in grease so the bottom bun was soggy (yuk). Pattie was very good. Ordered wing and asked for them to be cooked extra long. They didn't do that. The wings were chewy and not done enough. They weren't even golden brown. With $4.50 drafts of Stella and $3 bottles... Wasn't long and the bill was $80 for 3 people. They even charged me 35 cents for mayonnaise. Really??? Never in my life have I been charged extra for mayo but here... You do. I wonder how much mustard and ketchup is? read more

Easily the absolute best burgers in town! Had the Cheddorama Burger. And that's not all. I recommend everyone come here to check out their full menu. Great service and atmosphere. Bob Murphy and his son Jameson are top notch and now how to take care of their customers. read more

This was my first and LAST time eating at the establishment. The service was mediocre at best. There were four of us in or party, we ordered water with lemon to drink ( not too difficult, right?). It took about 15 minutes just to receive them. As for the food, the couple that was with us each had fish and chips and enjoyed their meal... well, except for the nearly 45 min wait for it to arrive at the table. My husband and I had ordered the special (a French dip with onion rings) to share. When I went to dip my half of the sandwich in the small bowl of Au Jus that came with our meal, my finger touched the liquid and it was ice cold. It was bad enough that the meat itself was borderline lukewarm. I motioned to the waitress and explained the situation and she said that she would take care of it (never once apologizing for the inconvenience). I had a clear view of the kitchen from my seat and I watched her bring the bowl to the expediting window and say to the cook with a huge attitude "She said it's ice cold"! The cook then stuck his gloved hand in the bowl and then put it in the microwave and went about his business with another member of the kitchen staff (never changing his gloves). The microwave alert went off but he could not be bothered, and neither could the other guy.. our waitress went over and leaned over the counter ( I thought she heard the ding of the microwave and was gonna ask for the jus), but no.. instead, she started rubbing her bare hand all over her nose and then started picking her face!! Gross!!! I sat there and stared at all of them. She must have felt me staring or something because she then asked for the jus and brought it to our table and set it right in front of me. There was NO WAY I was eating that!!!!! She was very rude, and about 15 minutes later, she came over and said "are you guys ready for your check?" I will never give another dime of my hard-earned money to that business when there are so many more deserving ones I'd rather go to. read more

Amazing food and drinks. You just have to come during St. Patrick's day it's a blast. Oh and the smells. You drive by this place sometimes and can just smell the smokers rolling. read more

College haunt. My mates and I went there as students and make an obligatory stop during our class reunion every five years. Typical midwest cuisine, including gizzards. read more

I really enjoy coming here. The smell when you walk in is amazing, like smoked bacon! The bartender at night (a male) is very friendly and welcoming, and always seems to have something nice to say! We will definitely be back, again and again! read more

My "Spicy" chicken sandwich was a coated fried sliver of meat doused with Tabasco sauce. Did not hear any positives from the 6 in our group seated at our sticky table. Skip this place for lunch. I will go to Mc Donald's instead. read more

This is a great place to go for lunch! I have had their soup and salad bar and it is great! The servers and owner are fantastic! The food is very reasonably priced and the service is fast. They also offer take out and the food is equally great and fresh! read more

Love Murphy's every time I go! Great food, great flavor, great service. Travel a lot and Murphy's is one of the best! It's always packed on weekends and is a local favorite for lunch. Eating at "The Wheel" is always a good bet! From wings, to Oriental Slaw, to burgers or steak, the servings are generous! Try the macho nacho's for a real treat! Prices are great too! Order a mixed drink and make it a tall, great price! See ya soon at "The Wheel"! read more

Love the food and atmosphere. If you like seafood I strongly suggest the crab melt!

When ever someone would ask me a good place to eat in Hastings Nebraska, I would suggest The Wheel. I will no longer be doing this. We waited over a hour for our food. We watched tables of people who got there later get their food. We asked the wait staff about our food. Wait staff replied that food was on its way. When the order finally arrived only half the group was served, ( we had 4 people). The wait staff then told us that that the order was messed up, and we would have to wait while they fixed it. Very disappointed. read more

Had 50 cent wings with bob and toms sauce a bacon burger and cheese balls. Everything was good, ate way too much...

From out of town looking for a unique experience and a good place to eat and have a couple drinks. With the written reviews, maybe our expectations were a little high. The food was poor. The pork they "smoke themselves" was as hard as leather. And we ate and sat there for 20 minutes and never got asked for a refill on our drinks. I hate leaving bad reviews, but this was the worst smoked pork and service I have ever had. read more

One of the best bars that Hastings has to offer. The also have a great food selection and a couple of pool tables in the back.

Went for lunch today and got the special: BLT and oriental slaw. The tomatoes are perfect this time of year and these didn't disappoint. I'll have to try them for dinner sometime. read more
