    Fish & Chips
    John B.

    Wondering how many know the origin of the catchy name? I asked the owner if he knew. (Since he bought it 5 years ago, name and all) He did. I figured he would. It came from an episode of the All In The Family tv show. Archie told a story about being so poor, at one point as a kid he had just one shoe and one boot. Shoe. Boot. The kid's nicknamed him ShoeBootie. Well alright. Loved the decor and atmosphere. We sat in a downstairs booth in the main first aisle. Cozy and great for people watching. When the a/c kicked on it got a tad chilly but I didn't mind. I started out with a bowl of the Lobster Bisque. Absolutely delicious. Nice chunks of sweet lobster meat. Semi-creamy with a hint of heat spice. The three of us shared a Baked Crab, Artichoke & Spinach Dip. It was very good. Not a lot of crab taste I thought. I loved the spinach tortilla chips. Thin, lightly fried, they broke nicely. I opted for the Prime Rib Philly. Dipped into a cup of Au Jus, just right. One friend got the Cranberry Turkey Melt. She enjoyed it. Her daughter got the Fish & Chips. The fish, cod, was bland and tasteless, even with the fried tempura batter. I tried a bite, agreed it lacked flavor. Overall a nice midday lunch experience.

    Here for lunch!

    We visited again for the first time in a long time (years). Today, we had the California Roll. We haven't had that in a long time, and we both enjoyed it. Next, we shared an order of Pad Thai with Chicken. This was a little confusing, as the sauce did not have the typical tamarind flavor, and the peanuts were just peanut halves thrown on, instead of crushed peanuts. That creates a different flavor profile. However, I will say that presentation was very nice, and the noodles were perfectly cooked. The atmosphere is comfortable. There are a good number of booths, and the music is loud enough to hear, but not so loud that it overtakes your conversation. Service was decent. Drinks were refilled, and we had everything we needed. I do wish the restaurant had more of a focus on providing gluten-free items, especially bread. None of their desserts were gluten-free. I would probably still return when in the area.

    If you're staying around Robbinsville, the closest and largest town is Murphy. Cute little downtown area with shops and restaurants. Last year we checked out NC chicken chain Bojangles when visiting; time for something local! We chose ShoeBooties because it was in the downtown area close to good shopping. Our group was seated immediately; menu choices are abundant from sandwiches, salads, and nicely portioned entrees. Several us chose the Lobster Bisque as our starter. Nice flavors with a hint of spice. My grilled Mahi paired julienned squash and zucchini with pasta in a lemon cream sauce. GF's Cranberry Turkey Melt on Croissant was nice bites for her. Other diners enjoyed a seared Ahi Tuna Salad and then there was my mom's Quiche of the day. Sad looking plate with a burnt slice...It shouldn't have been served to her. Was a solid experience but only worth three stars. Don't serve diners sub par food.

    Father-daughter lunch date!

    Cute place to pop in for lunch in the heart of downtown Murphy near shops, bars and coffee shops. Friendly service.

    Wonderful dinner and evening at Ramsey's kitchen. The gals working at the front desk were snobby…read moreand ignored us. The place was practically empty, and they tried to seat us at a terrible table. We asked her instead for one of the EIGHT open window tables, and Cordellia sighed and ordered us to go back to the front desk to ask the other snobby girl who was standing there busy ignoring other customers. Once we were seated, we had a delectable meal. We received impeccable service by Stephen. Appetizer, soup, salad, all were delicious. Presentation was perfect. They just need to replace the two rude girls running the front. They were so condescending, it was insulting and truly unnecessary. We shall return as the food was superb. But we hope their management will find more professional front desk staff.

    This was our second visit to Ramsay's. Our first experience was excellent, which made us excited to…read morereturn. Unfortunately, this visit was very disappointing. The service was poor from start to finish. My husband never received a refill on his soda, and my request for lemons was forgotten. Based on our server's recommendation, I ordered the chicken entrée, but it was bland, chewy, and lacked flavor. My husband ordered the fish and chips, and honestly, we've had better from Captain D's. The wedge salad was the one bright spot of the meal and was very enjoyable. To top it off, our server seemed overwhelmed and brought us the wrong check. Considering the price of the meal and the overall experience, we left disappointed. Sadly, after this visit, we are questioning whether we will return.
