We reviewed the menu, ordered drinks. Beers were good but nothing to brag about. We ordered food - two burgers, pulled pork sandwich, two pizzas and kids chicken tenders. It took nearly 45 minutes. We watched others who came in after us get their food. My assumption was they were trying to serve our whole party at the same time. Food was average. Nothing stood out. It got busy while we were there and they were seriously under staffed. The bartender/waiter, and another woman bringing food out from the kitchen was it. We wanted to like it but it was average. We were in town for the holiday weekend so maybe our review won't matter but I wouldn't come back for average food and slow service. There is potential.

Huge shoutout to our bartender, Ginger, who was an absolute sweetheart and went above and beyond to give us a wonderful experience. The Lube Room is now a mandatory stop for us whenever we travel through Ebbetts Pass or vacation in the area!

Came for the burger :)…read more My husband and I live in the East Bay and wanted to go on a lil drive. We decided on Murphy's for the Watering Hole burger which did not disappoint. We ordered 2 Double Cheese Burgers, the Broccoli Bacon Ranch Salad and an order of French Fries that included a side of ranch. All of what we ordered was delicious. The burgers come with double patties and are grilled along with the onions, the bun lightly toasted, soft and sweet and included a smear of 1,000 dressing. The burgers have 2 different types of cheese, fresh crispy shredded lettuce, pickles and sliced ripe tomato. It is the perfect combination and proportions of all ingredients. The Broccoli Bacon Ranch salad was not like anything I have had before and was a nice surprise to our taste buds. The salad included fresh bell peppers both yellow and red. It also had pickled onions, sunflower seeds, bacon and blue cheese that was all tossed together with ranch dressing which made it very convenient and easy to eat. Last but not least, the French Fries. They included a nice seasoning on the outside for a crispy texture and a creamy inside which I love. I liked the fact that they serve the fries with homemsde ranch and I didnt even have to ask for it...it's the little things for me. We sat inside to dine, I enjoyed seeing what others were eating, of course lots of burgers but also ribs, pasta, chicken sandwiches, salads and even cheese cake for dessert. I like that the menu offered a variety of options and brought great value for the quality and care that you can taste in every bite! I did not notice any issues with service as I saw other reviews reported. I would say that the inside, although cozy was a bit loud while others socialize. I think it was simply the high ceilings that carry the noise. The outside seating area is another option and is very nice as it's next to a stream which we would have chosen if it hadn't been 57° outside that day.

Tucked into…read moreSonora like a well-kept secret, this place serves up craft drinks with a side of literary charm and somehow makes it feel completely natural to sip a cocktail while thumbing through a novel. The staff? Absolute gems behind the bar, friendly, sharp, and clearly masters of their craft. They'll recommend a drink as easily as a good read, and somehow nail both. The vibe is what really strikes gold though. Between the shelves of books and the historic touch of the original cash register (which deserves its own drink special, honestly), the whole place feels like stepping into a story you don't want to end. Come for a drink, stay for a chapter... and probably another round.

Even though it was late on a Tuesday the patio was still busy. We got a nice table outside because it was a beautiful day and we had our GSD with us. Shared the beet salad and the chicken burrito and also a kids hamburger with fries for the pup ( fries were for us). PROTIP: We took the option to split each dish by the kitchen and although it cost a couple bucks more, you get a little more of everything! Beet salad was solid with perfect allocations of all ingredients. I would say it was a bit heavy on the dressing but I like minimal dressing and my partner said it was perfect so there you go. The burrito was "wet" and delicious! Lots of flavor fresh ingredients and very saucy. Only thing it lacked was a little heat. Ask for tapatio if you like a little spice. The hamburger by the way, was larger than a normal hamburger you get on the kiddie menu. And the fries were piping hot and fresh. Our dog loved the burger as he should and we downed all the fries. Highly recommend and will be back!

Second the guests screaming for the game on were 10x louder then the music. We met some guests that were staying there and they were in a group text involving his comments about a certain ethnic group not leaving tips. I'm like ok. We tipped him well thank you but after that comment several of us walked out. I can assure you we won't be back there again.

They added to the outside seating area it's like a garage with overhead doors with picnic style seating and dining seats, ceiling fans and big screen TV. You can also sit inside the restaurant to dine. We sat outside in the garage area we sat at a picnic table shared by a really nice couple. I had a bbq pork sandwich with French fries my mom had portobello sandwiches with fries and we shared a side of Brussel sprouts, the entire meal was delicious. The pork was so tender the sauce was amazing, the roll was perfect it was soft but not so soft where it fell apart. The fries were perfectly cooked. The Brussel sprouts were amazing, dried cranberries and pecans. The atmosphere was great, servers were very nice. Parking we parked right there near the restaurant. We will be going back again soon.
