Murphy's Irish Pub

30 minutes in, and we've received 1 beer and 1 coke. Still waiting on water...and silverware...and napkins...should be an adventure.

From the looks of the other guests in the outside dinning area, we won't be the only ones to never come back.

Plenty of wait staff, but they all run around without actually accomplishing anything.

The women servers were great. Very attentive and accommodating for me and my requests for my toddler. I hate to be one of "those" patrons, but I am. (I also tip well, to counterbalance my high maintenance).

Food: The burgers were mediocre. Not bad, but kind of bland meat. The stand out to me was the mozzarella sticks - pretty sure they hand bread some string cheese on site and are served with a sprinkling of parmesan and parsley with a side of spicy yummy marinara sauce. My son's $7.95 kids meal fish and fries were eaten up by him and my husband - no complaints there. My husband wasn't a fan of his patty melt. He was eyeballing my burger, but mine was kind of meh as well.

Next time we're in town I think we would try The Burger Lounge down the road. The prices are about half as much ($6.95) for burgers. My burger at Murphys was about $14.00 (I added onion rings and cheddar cheese). The only reason we didn't go to Burger Lounge was the fact that I read on Yelp that Burger Lounge is cash only and we didn't feel like running to an ATM.

The inside decor is sad dive bar. They definitely put all their money in to the outside to lure in tourists driving by, but that being said...the outside area is cute.  

It seemed most of the people were there for beers/drinking. It's probably a great dive bar at night - but not the greatest for a young family with a toddler.

Side note: The bartenders were kind of  obnoxious, as I heard one say very loudly "She's a one timer" about some woman at the bar. I'm sure she would appreciate your assessment, cool guy.

Lastly, there was a patron there with a german shepherd off a leash that kept roaming close to my table that was very irritating. The bartender seemed to encourage the patron, so that's another reason I probably would not be back.

This place had decent food, good drinks, and good service.  It just lacked any sort of ambiance or decor.  It was like a diner and it needs to look like a pub
