Murph's Bar

"Hands down EXCELLENT. It was our first visit, and we were not disappointed! What a gem of a place! Our wait to get a table was about an hour, we did arrive around 6 pm on a Saturday so the wait was expected. Bar service and table service were both outstanding. The Murph's team was so busy, but all of the staff hustled to make sure every customer was being taken care of. Our dinner was amazing. Fresh, delicious pasta!! I wanted to order everything on the menu! Prices were also very reasonable. I can't wait to get back to Murph's!!"

"Bartender is awesome. It was packed and he never stopped moving and somehow my husband and I never had to wait for service. The meatballs are *chefs kiss* with fresh ricotta cheese served with them as well as fresh basil and a basket of bread..And the other food looked AMAZING but we were just popping in for a quick app and a couple of beers! The locals love this place and we're so happy we stopped in during our weekend visit!"

"Almost all their entrees are under $20! The food menu at this Italian/Irish restaurant is not only delicious but very affordable. Portions are large and filling, dessert was huge. They do not take reservations and they are cash only, recommend hanging out by the bar to get a seat. As other reviews mention, it is a small space but very worth the wait!"

"I think there were some hits and misses with the dishes here, but in general it's good. I probably wouldn't wait longer than 30 minutes, as you cannot reserve, to eat here, also, it is cash only and they have an ATM on site. It's quite tight inside. We got the Meatballs, Stuffed Gnocchi (here was the primary miss, it was quite tart, and only tasted of cherry tomatoes, I did add a fair amount of salt), Murph's Pasta, and the Seafood Manicotti (which was the best option we got). I will add the disclosure that I find it is difficult to find good or outstanding Italian food in Philadelphia, but this one is a better option than say Giuseppe & Sons, cheaper as well."
