We were on a day trip to Murphy and decided to try ShoeBooties for lunch. Four adults and we all got different things. We all enjoyed our dishes! Food was fresh and delicious. The tomato soup and lobster bisque were especially great! I highly recommend this restaurant! read more

Haven't visited the restaurant in three years and the new owners have really done a nice job of updating the decor. Especially like the addition of local artwork, as I am an artist. Had the black bean veggie burger and it was the best one I ever had! They make great drinks, too. They were very focused on social distancing and cleanliness. Jojo was a great waitress and very attentive. Definitely a rerun! read more

I am mortified. If I could give a zero, I would. I have family in from out of town and because we were here a few months ago & it was good, I brought them here. Tonight was bad. First, we had a back room all to ourselves, which was very warm in Temperature. Then, The waitress was nice but not on the ball. After she took our orders she brought rolls ( not warm). I waited a good 5 minutes to ask someone, anyone, to bring us utensils. Finally I got up & stuck my head in the kitchen area to ask for them. We ordered specials for 2; which included soup or salad, entree & dessert. The 2 steaks medium rare were very large in size. No argument on portion. However, the steak was so grisly that it was difficult to cut, much less eat. The knifes didn't help, as the butter knives were sharper than the provided steak knives, although not by much. It was a battle to try and eat any of it. Parm Pork chops were "ok", not very flavorful at all. The Bourbon chicken over pasta was passable. If there wasn't any sauce on the small piece of chicken, you'd of had plain naked pasta. She never returned for refills on water, tea or soda after food was delivered. I said something about the steaks to the waitress bc we finally just gave up trying to eat it & she apologized, but only removed one steak dinner of $24 off the bill, instead of both. We didn't say anything bc we didn't want to make an issue of it bc We will not be back. I asked for the dessert to go. She advised n/p. She gave us the apple pie in a styrofoam container. She never said it came with ice cream... it would get all over the car as we live 45 minutes away. so we took a few bites of the half melted ice cream & cold apple pie ( not even warmed up) & left it. Very bland apple dessert. I kept apologizing to my visiting family about bringing them there as I felt badly the meal was not acceptable. This was our first and only night eating out & it was not a pleasant experience. By the time we left we were practically sweating. I do not recommend going there. Rather, stick to Georgia & go to Michaellee's, Enricos, Dans Grill in Blairsville or Brothers, the Brasstown Resort & Spa in Young Harris , or for a good steak, Daniels steakhouse in Hiawasee. Nothing fancy but excellent steaks. Sorry to be so critical but def NOT HAPPY customers! Will not return. read more

This is place is awful. The wait was over an hour long. Once we got our food my sister was served an undercook salmon. Will never return back to this place. I DO NOT recommend this restaurant. read more

We drove an hour to come here for the All you can eat crab legs... they were so so at best... but the worst part is that we paid $55. Each and the service was TERRIBLE!! It was NOT busy so there was no reason for it...We actually saw the owner sitting at a table with customers chatting while we sat there waiting to be served... a four top came and actually got up and left because no one even noticed they were there... there was another man sitting at the bar that had no service either... so disappointing!! We will not return and do not recommend!! read more

My first visit was exceptional in atmosphere, service, and food. I would definitely recommend this restaurant. I will certainly revisit when I am in the area. It was a most pleasant surprise! read more

Being from out of town, there didn't seem to be anyplace to eat, unless you wanted a selection of fried foods. We decided on this place because of the prime rib Friday special. Neither one of us got that. I needed up with lamb chops, potato, and some lobster bisque. All of it was really good. The wife ended up with ribeye, potato, and salad. Both plates were cleared. It was actually one of the best meals we have eaten out in a while. No complaints, excellent food. I'm glad we stopped here. No heartburn, no queasiness, just satisfaction. This is a gem of a restaurant in a small city. Next time I come through I will surely stop by for a meal. read more

Delicious! We took Yelpers advice and got the crab and artichoke dip it was awesome! I also got the Turkey sand on croissant and it was good but the best was the white chocolate bread pudding only problem was that it was not enough (maybe that's a good thing). The lobster bisque was recommended and was top notch as well. We loved that the fare was upper crust but it was low key dining and our kids fit right in! The service was 5 star! We will definitely be back! read more

Crab legs were fantastic, as was the glazed steak and the Mediterranean shrimp pasta! The wait staff were very attentive!

Great tasting food! Wasn't looking for a presentation like Eric H below lol I came to eat and was very pleased. The service was good and with rising costs for the food industry, their prices were very fair. I will return soon for sure, highly recommend this place for casual dining and good food!i read more

Terrible from A to Z. What was a Murphy legend ended up sold, and was totally lost in translation. So many good restaurants in Murphy. Skip this one. read more

Not good, very average yet they charge close to top dollar. The food is ok but nothing about it is a WOW experience. Servers are sloppy, food is mediocre. Do yourself a favor drive down to Mariolinos in Andrews. All the food is made fresh to order read more

Outstanding in every regard: menu choices, service and tastiness of food. They seem to really care.

My wife and I were in town and wanted a good lunch. We have wanted to try Shoebooties for a while now but just never got around to it since we're only here once a year. Boy, we didn't know what we were missing! I ordered the seafood lasagna and my wife ordered the seafood chowder. Both were excellent! The seafood lasagna had shrimp, crab and salmon in it and the chowder had big chunks of fish and crab. After the main course we had desert, chocolate pecan fudge cake! It came in a small shot glass and it was delicious. It was pretty crowded at lunch time but they had one person designated just for refilling drinks. We will be back again! read more

Visiting a friend here in Murphy she wanted to take us here for supper. They have an extensive menu with lots of delicious sounding options. We each ordered something different and everyone was very pleased with the quality and the quantity of each item. My Reuben was not the best I've ever had but it was good nonetheless. Service was a little slow but it looks like they are doing the best they can with a limited amount of help. This place is well worth trying for yourself!! read more

Do not go to this restaurant. Waited at least 30 minutes for our food and finally left . Not sure what the hold up was , we weren't ever informed. We had issues trying to leave as they wanted us to pay for our drinks which was water, tea & one alcoholic beverage. As we were leaving , another table got up to leave as they had been waiting 45 minutes for food. Terrible service !!! It wasn't even busy in the restaurant. Only 3 tables had people at them while we were there . read more

Excellent food and service. Nice place to hold that special event.

Wonderful food! We had the crab dip as an appetizer and our entrees were the pork chop (pictured), salmon and steak. Great atmosphere, fantastic staff and everything is homemade! If you love ranch try it on your salad. The best ranch I've ever had! read more

Made a reservation for dinner and when we showed up they told us that the kitchen was in a state of confusion. This was due to a large party that had stopped in with no reservation.Told us our wait would be 1 hour 15 minutes. I said but we had the reservation and the other party did not... she apologized but the attitude was that we were not important. Would not recommend... read more

Great food and good service. We enjoy going here when we are in Murphy. Has full bar and bar upstairs.

We read reviews before coming to Shoebooties and I think we expected too much. My husband ordered medium rare Ribeye steak and it was well done and covered with a very sweet sauce. My dinner wasn't much better and we spent almost $100 with a tip. Pretty average and a bit expensive for what we got. read more

Price was way too high for the tuff and way too much fat on an Angus New York Strip steak I got last night. Flavor was good just the worst meat ever. read more

The food was okay, but the service was really bad. If I could do it all over again, I'd go to Chevelle's for a burger. A premium price for average food and poor service. read more

We were taking a long cross country road trip and we wanted to stop and eat something yummy. Of course, we checked yelp and came to ShoeBooties because it had great reviews. This was one of the best meals I've ever had in my life! From the bruschetta appetizer to the complimentary fresh baked bread, the sweet tea and the entree--everything was perfect. Our waitress Marissa was very helpful, sweet, and attentive. If only we lived closer, we would come at least once a week! read more

Amazing service! I didn't quite like my lunch and, with no questions asked, my server swiftly offered the menu and resolved the issue without making me feel bad about it. Look, restaurants aren't perfect, but when they deliver exceptional service, that's as close to perfection as you can get! My replacement was awesome and I'll definitely be back! read more

I wish this place wasn't so "Hit or Miss." We had a party of four on a Friday night at 2000. They weren't that busy. We drew the short straw and got one of the worst waitresses I have ever dealt with. She was forgetful and nonexistent. (And that is saying how I feel politely.) Two of the people at our table drink and they had problems getting more. how is this possible? I thought that is the main priority. Keep the alcohol pouring to boost profits. The other thing is that if you don't want an item, let's say soup, they will gladly take a dollar off of your bill. What if you really want the soup and your waitress is too stupid to bring it? WTF! They just take a dollar off of the bill. Very disappointed with this visit. I guess we will take a break from patronizing them for a while. Try Moma Mia's around the corner.It is a very small place with great service. read more

I do not understand why this place is so highly rated, I have tried it every year or so for ten years and it is always IMHO mediocre food and average to below-average service. I am now done trying it and giving up forever. read more

Everything was delicious and a little unique! Orange in the tarter sauce and homemade sweet and sour for the spring rolls was yummy. The Ruben and fish and chips were great. But the lobster bisque was hands down, the best I've ever had!!!!! Thin soup, lots of crab and tasted incredible!!!!! I don't have enough exclamation points to get my point across! read more

Debbie & I stopped by whilst shopping in downtown Murphy the other day & were very impressed with their chicken salad sandwiches & soup of the day for lunch. We would definitely recommend stopping by here anytime you are anywhere near Murphy. HONESTLY! ABE read more

Wonderful delightful server in a fun restaurant. We had dinner and everything they served was a 10! We had the filet and pork chops along with garlic potatoes and the squash casserole. Delicious! Prices are good you will not be disappointed! read more

Great hidden gem in the mountains. Try the pecan crusted salmon- it is wonderful. Also LOVE the martini sampler! Three little martinis, your choice of flavors. I like the strawberry/lemon and the peach. The service is really good too. I highly recommend. read more

Used to be best in town and never got a bad meal. Slowly been declining and after the horrible experience today with the horrible food and poor service I wouldn't recommend to anyone. Tried to treat my family with a nice lunch and left embarrassed. read more

Just passing nearby on a long road trip looking for lunch, thought we might find a decent burger in a small town ... wow, I didn't expect to be dining on lobster bisque and bacon-tomato quiche! And seafood salad for my husband, they had no problem with his gluten-free needs. Great place, excellent service and quality of food way surpassed expectations! read more

Wow this place has surpassed my expectations for service after my initial visit. The second time I came in, the manager immediately recognized me and told me how happy she was that I gave them another chance. The waitress who had waited on me also stopped by the table to apologize for my first visit and made sure everything was going well this time. I brought two friends with me the second time and we were treated like queens. Every item was promptly brought out, and our waiter was extremely charming. We also had the manager and the other waitress waiting on our table. I think they were making sure I enjoyed my second visit because they even threw in free dessert! I will say that the all you can eat crab came out in large portions and I was stuffed about my third plate, but they continued to offer more even though we had stayed beyond their closing time. It wasn't the best crab I'd ever had, in fact it actually needed the butter they provided, but the service was amazing. The lobster bisque that I finally got to taste was good, but more of a tomato base, so it wasn't exactly what I expected, but I ordered it again tonight (my third visit) and enjoyed it enough lol Tonight I had prime rib and it was delicious, I couldn't even finish it, but I'm excited to eat my leftovers! The crab dip was alright, but the green chips that came with it were amazing. The white chocolate bread pudding was epic and don't be fooled by the "dessert shooter" idea; these desserts are regular sized! I ordered the chocolate creme brûlée on my second visit and it was phenomenal as well!! Overall, great service and experience!!! Thank you for changing my mind about this place!! I've got 4 more days in this town and I might just stop in one more time :) read more

I had the Cuban, it wasn't bad but it wasn't a Cuban; I'm still trying to figure out how you can press a sandwich on one side. There were about 20 French fries along side and they weren't bad, but there were only 20 and half were the ones from the bottom of the fryer. The server was very pleasant but the bus guy really didn't want to be there...but enough negativity. My wife enjoyed her shrimp dish and the cokes were perfect. Wouldn't go back but no serious complaints. read more

My wife and I were passing through Murphy around 9 PM looking for something other than fast food and stumbled across this awesome restaurant! They have the best spinach dip of anywhere! We also had steak and snapper, both were amazing! We pass through Murphy once a month or so and can't wait to eat there again! read more

Saw the great reviews about this place and said "We'll see about that." I have now had my ShoeBooties Cafe experience and am only saddened by the fact that I will not be able to darken their door as a regular. Can't eat their everyday. Papa is a rolling stone they say and i got to keep ramblin on, mostly because I don't live in Murphy, NC. If I did? The unbelievably pleasant and attentive staff would undoubtedly know my name after awhile due to my frequency of visiting their establishment, not due to the fact that I have an incredibly endearing personality. The food and drinks arrived quickly and the Top Shelf Long Island Iced Tea has the smooth punch of a jackhammer in a tuxedo. The IPA on tap was a delicious gullet pleaser as well. The food? Next Level. Baked Crab Spinach & Artichoke Dip was outstanding and someone apparently stole my grandmother's turkey and presented it to me in an amazing Turkey croissant sandwich with a parmesan bacon sauce. Absolutely splendiferous. If in Murphy I highly suggest you spend your eating moments locked in an warm embrace with the menu of Shoe Booties. You shall not regret this decision. Good day sir and a tip of the cap to you ShoeBooties Cafe. read more

My wife and I had lunch here on a wonderful July day. The service was great, if anything too helpful. I loved the decor and the wood booths. The food was delicious. I had my concerns going in, but I'm thrilled we ate there! I gas a Caesar salad and a veggie burger with fries. Both were fantastic. There was also great local artwork back in the hall by the restrooms. read more
