I had been here a few times just for just drinks but last night we came for dinner before the Panthers preseason game. We were seated at the last empty table upstairs. My favorite area of Murphy's is the upstairs as I feel like it has better vibes and the covered patio looks super fun. We were greeted by a friendly and energetic waitress who had way too many tables and she handled her rush with grace. We ordered drinks and appetizers. When our drinks came we ordered our entrees. Service was predictably slow but we never felt forgotten and our waitress apologized every time. Our entrees came out before our appetizers but the appetizers were not far behind.
The Deviled Scotch Eggs were life changing. Get them. Eat them. Love your life. On to the entrees, I ordered the fish and chips and my husband ordered the Shepherd's pie. The fish and chips were fine, not life changing. the fries were good but a little too salty for my taste. I would recommend one of the more traditional dishes as those were delicious.
Definitely a great place that cares about authenticity and food quality. They definitely handled the pre-panthers rush well. I'll be back!
