MurphyS Restaurant and Pub

Surprisingly good food (definitely try the pizza) with a decent array of beverages. Back porch is good for dogs, though I wish it was smoke free back there.

This is Boone’s version of“Cheers,” just a joint with beer, drinks and great food. The locals know Murphy’s has the best pizza in town for a price that makes their neighbor, MM cringe.

My boyfriend ordered wings and nachos to go and I went to pick them up after I got off work. He asked AND paid for extra ranch for the wings… Got home and it was bleu cheese and there was no extra anything. On my part, I didn’t check before I left, but then again, it’s not my job. Nachos were supposed to come with sour cream and there was none. Other than that, the food was good.

Let’s talk about Murphy’s:
It’s the closest thing Boone has to a dive bar. The bartenders are sometimes charming, surly and drunk all at the same time. You don’t want to try a draft beer.
You probably wonder why you should go there at all. Their pizza. Goddammit, go there for their pizza. Or their wings.
But really, truly, Murphy’s has the best pizza in Boone. Their homemade dough has the right amount of bite and chew to it. The sauce is basically perfect; it’s not too sweet or applied with a heavy hand.
The New Yorker (pepperoni and fresh mushrooms) is one of my favorites. It’s a true crowd pleaser. With over 20 different pizzas, you’re sure to find your own favorite at Murphy’s.

Service is some of the worst in Boone, but the wings are good. The hostess was too busy on her cell phone to find us a seat (mind you the place was empty) and had a bit of an attitude.

We tried to go in and eat but the Boy at the register was very rude never greeted or acknowledged us h stood there and just looking at us. When we asked if they were open he answered well yeah. And my wife asked if we just seated our self he replied well I guess! So we just left.

We visited yesterday and absolutely loved the cute decorations and atmosphere. I unfortunately had to give it three stars though because too many things went wrong. It took about 30 minutes for the food to arrive and when it did, part of the order was wrong, and the fries were undercooked. I also went to the bathroom and all the lights were off and I couldn’t find the switch. A nice waitress helped me and went and turned them on but that was kinda weird. Not bad just weird! Haha.
Our server was really nice and was attentive to us. I think it may have been the kitchen that was having troubles that night. Overall I want to return because I did like the atmosphere there.

So much meh. Service? Sucked. Food? Sucked. Beer list? Sucked. So much suckage, so little time. Only good thing? Location. Seriously.

Went here the other day and even though i love in town i havent been here since i was a child and we would get the cheese fries every time. Oh my goodness! I still love them! They have gotten so much better service since the last time i was there and our waiter was really nice and kind.

The slowest restaurant/​bar in Boone, the management and owners do not know how to properly train and staff their business on a prime weekend. If you cannot serve your customers within 25 minutes of sitting down you should anticipate poor reviews. Good luck supporting patrons

YUMMMMMMY!!! Quite honestly, one of the best pizzas I have eaten!!! Homemade salad dressings were incredible! The salads themselves were beautiful in presentation, but had a lot of brown lettuce underneath (ewe). Prices are VERY reasonable
Love the fact that the back porch is DOG FRIENDLY!!! We will ALL be back soon :))

I have eaten here since I was a teen. Bar food but above the norm and good prices. Waitress was very attentive and nice!!! My Bonsai chicken sandwhich is my fav so good!!! Hubby had fish and chips said was delish. French onion soup very good but my favorite is the cheese fries!!! I always eat here when I visit. Forgive the aged and beaten décor. Poor bathrooms need remodeling. Otherwise a favorite!!!

Good dinner, well made with good food. But DO NOT PARK in the large parking lot adjacent to the business, you will be booted and loose $ 60 or $ 120 or more.
The food was good, with fresh fish for the fish and chips, well made sweet potato fries, a good teriyaki burger, a nice greek salad, tasty fettuccine alfredo, and for my youngest, good chicken strips. The wait staff was attentive and friendly. Too bad they didn’t point out we shouldn’t park in the local business parking lot which should be for ALL visitors for free.
Too bad for this business that corruption reigns in Boone for the local gangster parking lot owners of the Market Place. But don’t get upset with the collection agency as they aren’t afraid to threaten people. Just avoid all the businesses here: Kava Bar (or Noble Kava), Water to Wine, Cilantro’s Mexican Bar and Grill, Walker Divenere Wright Attourneys at Law and Wright Properties Real Estate. They need to leave and the owner of this parking lot loose all their ill-​gained money.

Let me start by saying I am an Appalachian graduate so I spent many a pleasant evening at Murphy’s bar. Last night, however, was my first experience in their restaurant. From the get go, it was not a good one. There is no sign to indicate whether parties should wait for a host, or seat themselves so my friends and I found ourselves waiting at the end of the line for customers paying for a good five minutes before we were told we could find a table. Of the free tables, none of them were especially clean. It took 10 minutes for us to receive our drinks, and this is at a time when there were maybe three other parties in the restaurant. When our drinks finally did come, they were not correct – these were sodas and a water, so nothing to complicated. We were told the mixup was due to a miscommunication and that the server was not aware she had our table. Our food order was taken before the correct drinks were brought out – a pizza and a salad which took almost 45 minutes to receive. The server did not return to ask if we needed anything other than if my boyfriend would like a refill on his Pepsi, which for some odd reason was never brought to the table, but instead the register at the front. The food was decent. Pizza was piping hot, good crust, sauce and cheese so we were not let down in that department. However, my boyfriend is a chef and I’m a former hostess. Neither of us are strangers to the food industry. So when you see servers eating with their hands in the dining room and then proceed to ring customers up, it looks totally unprofessional. Getting a little flustered when you’re in the weeds in one thing, but I think these servers were enjoying a different kind of weed. Totally disappointed. Perhaps this is why Mellow Mushroom across the street always has a busy dining room.

I puked on a computer here and no one noticed. Its grimy but I always have a good time. And never drink the tap beer

Great pizza. Great friendly service. Clean — perfect after a day of skiing… we come to Boone a bunch and always went with MM or Capones for pizza… this place beats both…

The pizza is great! The bbq sandwich with cheesy pototoes as a side is a dish I crave often. Locals and live music are what you will find here. Plenty of beers to choose from.

Food is ok, service not. Students and bar are priority. Not set up for takeout, last time I make that mistake. After my to go order came out they made me stand in back of line of 20 students paying individually. Needless to say food was ice cold. Live less than a mile away.

Awful service… bartender got an attitude… they were terribly under staffed and did not handle it well. Don’t waste your time here. 1 star is one too many.

This is a good place to eat, most patrons are college students.
The food is very good considering it’s a college hangout.
Parking is strictly on street parking.
