What Peter M likes about Murphy's Bar and Grill:
Dined at Murphy’s Bar and Grill this week. We are repeat customers and based on previous experience our expectations were high. We were looking forward to a great steak. We had a good experience, the service was efficient and friendly, our food was delivered in a timely manner, the ambience was pleasant and but one of the steaks we ordered wasn’t in keeping with expectations.

There are very few steak options for bar and grill . Oysters Kilpatrick lame more like baked BBQ sauce oysters. Coffee incredible my wife 's short black was the worst she has ever had it was basically the last watery extract from some else 's brew.. incredible failure and the main energiser for this review... Mains were ok... not that flash. Service was ok. house wines were ok View all feedback.

Murphy's Bar and Grill offers a mixed experience for diners, with some finding the steak options lacking while others praise the food and service. The house wines were just okay, and the coffee received mixed reviews. While some found the mains to be ordinary and overpriced with poor service, others enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and outstanding food variety. Guests have reported waiting times for their meals, with some being disappointed by burnt dishes. However, the steak was highlighted as a standout dish for its tenderness and flavor. Overall, while some may not rush back, others consider Murphy's Bar and Grill to be the best restaurant in the Illawarra.
