We wanted to celebrate the beginning of Oktoberfest and decided to treat ourselves to some German beers and German food at Haus Murphy's on a Saturday early evening. We requested to sit in the bar area because we find it more lively than the restaurant area (and on this particular visit there was a polka band playing in the bar area).
To start, we had their giant pretzel. It was baked to perfection. Then, we elected to split their dinner platter for two (the one on the regular menu, not the one on the specials menu, can't remember the exact name). The platter included soup for each of us, which was a creamy chicken florentine - I am usually not a chicken florentine fan but it was really tasty. The platter was perfect to fulfill both of our Sausage and Schnitzel cravings. We also loved the potatoes, weird noodle things (?) and cabbage and sauerkraut that accompanied it.
We finished off with the Black Forest dessert, which was the only part of our meal that was a disappointment - it was dry and tasted like it had maybe been in the refrigerator too long.
We loved hearing the band play while we were there and were extremely satisfied with our Oktoberfest dining experience.
