Murphy's Chophouse 130 Valley River Avenue, Murphy, NC 28906

"This was our second visit to Murphy's Chophouse. This time we had a 2pm Thanksgiving Day reservation. They seated us 10 minutes early. Menu and drinks arrived immediately. Dinner rolls soon after. The limited menu for the holiday feast meant our salad was served in under 10 minutes. The staff checked on us frequently, bringing the next course of the meal when ready and topping off our drinks the entire time. The staff was happy, energetic and enjoyable despite having to work on a holiday. The Tom Turkey dinner came with traditional turkey, gravy, cranberry, mashed potatoes, sweet potato, stuffing, and green beans. All cooked to perfection with great seasoning. The villa decor with wood furniture, individual tables, table cloths and glassware created a great atmosphere. The restaurant was full but NOT crowded, or noisy. We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday meal and our experience. We were in and out in one hour, did not feel rushed and the portion size was just right. We left feeling great. Not too much, not too little. Just right! Well done Murphy's Chophouse! Well done. We'll be back. Very highly recommended!"

"Everything we ordered was excellent. I had a beautiful spinach salad and the best french onion soup I may have ever eaten. My husband had the meatloaf, which was also tasty. But the best was the creme brulée. It was amazing. Definitely a new favorite restaurant."

"Early Sunday dinner. Quiche and Ceasars Salad were wonderful. Spinach Salad and French Onion Soup were incredible. That was the best soup ever. Food was fast, hot and delicious. Waitress amazing. I am coming back here any time I am in this area."

"We sat out on the patio. It was a beautiful day for that. The live music was way too loud. We were sitting as far away as possible and could not have a conversation because it was so loud. Others left because of it. The food, though, was good. Onion loaf was delicious and the steak had good flavor, but cooks apparently don't get blue rare (extra rare) often, and do not know how to cook it correctly. I'm used to that, so I ate it cause it had good flavor."
