| - I am half first generation German, and have lived and spent time in Germany, so I was super excited to finally try Haus Murphy's. My coworker and I stopped in for lunch, and I give them 3/5 stars.
I ordered the spicy bratwurst, and asked if it came with a roll. At first the waitress thought I wanted a hot dog bun, so I clarified that I was asking for a Broetchen--she had no clue what that meant. I simplified, and asked if they had a dinner roll they could give me. The rolls that they had available were really soft, not the crusty Broetchen I am used to having with a brat. I was disappointed, but the roll was still okay.
The sauerkraut was spot on--juniper berries and all. I could have easily eaten twice as much had come with the meal. The potatoes were okay, but could have used more seasoning. The bratwurst was absolutely delicious, and paired really well with the spicy and flavorful mustard (I believe horseradish mustard) that was offered.
Service was quick, and my iced tea never ran dry. The waitress was polite and attentive, even during the lunch rush.
The lunch menu didn't have a weisswurst on it, which is my favorite kind of sausage. I also wish their potato pancakes had been available!
I'm going to check out the other German restaurants in Phoenix, but am not against visiting Haus Murphy's again.
