I opted for fish and chips as I expected that it was a local specialty. The fish portion was small and the batter seasoning completely overpowered the fish. There could have been anything under that batter and I would hardly have been the wiser. My vegetable sides of roasted carrots and summer squash were very good, but the portions were absolutely stingy. I'm not a big eater...I really don't appreciated the gigantic portions of some restaurants, but Murphy's left me still hungary.

Painted yellow table, black with filth. Floors were even worse. One of the filthiest restaurants I have ever been in. Could not speak to as what the food would have been like as we did not order.

We opted for the lobster meal, which was at least 1.5-2 lbs and cooked perfectly. The cole slaw and potato salad were delicious, while the apple crisp was on the sweeter side but still enjoyable. The buns were served cold, but when requested, the server promptly toasted them. I struggled with cracking one claw and the server graciously assisted me. Overall, I am very pleased with Murphy's and will certainly be back.

The ambiance and the staff were fantastic. The food was delicious! I can't wait to come back on our next trip out east.
