    We had a great meal and very attentive service. This good experience was consistent with my last visit with my family on February 14th. Murphy’s is a great place to talk a little business over great food.

    Our group of 8 had a great time. Good service & food. Overall a really nice atmosphere for a relaxing business meal with a group of co-workers & as you might expect a group of this many can have one or two procrastinator’s which was certainly the case with us and nothing was too much of a problem for our server.

    Travelled from Chicago to Atlanta for a golf outing and made a special detour to Murphys. Never disappoints. Great food, fabulous atmosphere in a very cool part of Atlanta.
