Loved the ambiance here. The restaurant really is beautiful. My husband and l shared the 2 entrees and one appetizer for $45. It was a great deal. We both enjoyed the prime rib for entrees and shared the mac and cheese appetizer. The mac and cheese was probably the prettiest mac and cheese l have seen in decades, if not ever. They use the large shells for the pasta and they were beautiful. I unfortunately didn't enjoy their flavor as much as their presentation, sadly they were a bit bland. But kudos for them making them from scratch and being beautiful! The prime rib was nice. Mine came with rice pilaf and l would choose something else next time. It was also bland and a flavor l didn't care for. The prime rib itself was lovely and the amount for the price was generous. My husband got fries and he enjoyed them. The kids' meals were also nice and my kids enjoyed their chicken nuggets, fruit, and french fries. Our server was Riley and he was very kind. My one complaint was the bar service. My friend ordered a non alcoholic drink and everyone who ordered an alcoholic drink got theirs quickly. She had to ask about 3 times and it finally arrived but it took at least 40 mins, if not longer. It was almost comical with how long it took. But not if you're thirsty. Every time l passed the bar there was no one there nor any customers sitting there. So it didn't look too busy. Sometimes I find the worst service occurs when an establishment is not busy and during off times (rush times seem to be better for customers, but prob not servers and staff). This is Prescott though. So my four star rating is because this area really lacks good eateries. Would l come back for a nice meal here in the future? Yes. Would l come back if this restaurant was located in a more popular area with more high end offerings? Prob not. That being said, l think it's an iconic landmark for Prescott and l would come back in the future.

Second time back. Thanksgiving fantastic , with all the hundreds of people , the staff was gracious, efficient and never let you feel their challenge! Sitting at the bar for a pre dinner cocktail , even the manager went out of his way to check on our reservation. The food was perfect , even as a holiday preset /choice menu it never appeared as if it had been made in advance . Hats off to the very accommodating and abundant staff !

We ate here 11/24 Beautiful restaurant with plenty of ambiance. Birthday, first date, anniversary or any occasion you can't go wrong with this place. We had Calamari which was so/so. We normally get ours from the coast of California so it's hard to beat. I had catfish cooked with care with a nice breading which came with green beans (excellent and perfectly prepared). Husband had sea bass perfectly prepared with delicious spinach. We both loved our meals and look forward to coming back each time we visit. Service was impeccable.

Charming, family-owned restaurant that really captures the essence of old-fashioned breakfast! The spacious seating makes it perfect for larger groups or families, and the cozy, nostalgic decor adds to the warm atmosphere. The menu features classic breakfast staples--think fluffy pancakes, hearty omelets, and crispy bacon. Everything we ordered was delicious and made with love. However, I did notice that they don't do a lot of substitutions, so if you have specific dietary preferences, it's something to keep in mind. Despite that, the service was friendly and welcoming, which made up for any minor limitations. It's a great spot to gather for a satisfying, no-frills breakfast with loved ones. If you're in the mood for a hearty meal that feels like home, Murphy's is definitely worth a visit!

We had friends visiting and drove up to Prescott for a couple days. We spent a lot of time on Whiskey Row but ventured off to Murphy's. Super old place with an amazing ceiling, bar and history. Water and hot bread arrived quickly and our drink orders were taken. Hubs and I both had Bulleit Manhattan's and they were perfect. For dinner I went with Guinness French Onion soup and crab cakes. The soup was phenomenal! I loved my crab cakes but I'm not a huge fan of green bell peppers. Fortunately, there weren't a lot. Hubs and our friend had prime rib and mashed potatoes. Hubs could almost cut it with a fork. They really enjoyed it. Our friends wife had a Cesar salad with blackened chicken. It was huge! She brought more than half back to the condo. The service was great and we didn't have to wait or ask for anything. We will certainly be back.
