A true Caesar salad is simple to make, yet many places opt for pre-made dressing and a sprinkle of parmesan, passing it off as authentic. This makes me wonder - is the dressing homemade? Does it have anchovies? These are important questions to ask. The Caesar Salad at Murphys Grille is far from authentic. It resembles something I might throw together at home on a weeknight with store-bought dressing. While the restaurant has a nice outdoor patio and decent service, the food falls short of being impressive. It's basic and lacks flavor. This sentiment applies not just to the Caesar salad (which I ordered with bland grilled chicken), but also to the Fried Calamari and sandwiches my friends ordered. While dining in a small town like Murphys may not be as refined as in a city, there are still better options available (such as Alchemy). If you're content with simple food, a pleasant patio, and friendly service, then Murphys Grille will suffice.

Our gal was cheerful, helpful and fast. Each course came out in a timely fashion, not to quick and not to slow... out of all places so far inland we decided to get the soup of the day, calamari, salad and fish n chips. We felt it being risky questioning how fresh the sea food could be, but when we got it we were so pleased to greet our warm, fresh food! The fish was perfectly fried, super flakey and cook with perfection. Calamari, salad and soup were also just as perfect! A bit pricey for lunch but considering what we ordered and it being a nice treat we enjoy every moment there. Weather was perfect so we hung out at the patio for some time even after eating. We noticed in the background they were closing up but not once were we bothered to leave, they allowed us to hang out as long as we wanted. Of course we were polite and decided to leave to hit up the next ice cream parlor a few doors down... Ha see next review! Highly recommend getting your dessert there.

Lilly Pad Pinot Gris was off the hook! I have the pulled pork wrap with salad. My mom had the Ruben with fries. The fries were thick with thick ground sea salt, the wrap was grilled and thrbpockeled onions set it off perfectly!!!!! Our new favorite!! Waitress was a doll!!!!

It was a hot day, they were understaffed (overheard one of the servers complaining about the busboy being gone), and yet we were served with a smile, and the food was good! Great calamari, and good fish and chips. Easy on the budget and on the main drag.

Husband said his chicken sandwich was OK but not off the charts. It was crowded and the service was slow but the waitress was wonderful and personable which helped take the sting out of the wait. Thumbs up, we will be back!
