Con Murphy's

We were staying at the Windsor so it was super convenient. We ate here multiple times because well it was good! Brunch I had a chorizo potato frittata--- wow it was great!! Lunch one day had the grouper sandwich --also delicious I don't think you can go wrong with anything Service was good depending on busyness which is understandable. We were in no rush so it was fine

While on travel for work, stopped in this location as it was conveniently located. There is outside seating but look up a holes in the covering....plus might not be ideal for any claustrophobic.A small group, Michael was our waiter. The food was fine 5 stars, Michae's attitude was NOT and I should have asked to speak with the Manager. We all ordered, one person had a draft beer. The table stated separ checks for the beginning. At the end, Michael brings one check! My colleague was polite and reminded him of separate checks. Michael was agitated and came back with a stack 4 of the checks and dropped them midair on the table. My colleague called Michael back as his draft beer was on someone else's receipt and Michael's response was "well, that's what you get when you ask for separate checks!" Food was 4.5 stars, waiter attitude 0 star.Attention Management: Please speak with Michael and any wait staff and remind them without customers, there will not be a reason to be in business nor need employees. Also, you do not speak to someone in this manner who served their country USA and is a proud military veteran. This was disrespectful when guests were polite and courteous throughout.This is an ideal opportunity for management to remind employees that every guest deserves an exceptional experience.Opted to bring a colleague on a different day and were greeted promp and seated outdoors due to wait and minimal seating. Fortunately, the waitress was Emily who may have been training but was polite. We mentioned separate checks and one sleeve was brought with 2 separate checks! The meal was enjoyable and this experience was over 4.5 stars. Zucchini ribbons slightly brown and not much flavor perhaps try adding some fresh herbs.Attached are some pics.

I came here for a reservation with a group while I was in town for a convention. The location is very convenient to the convention as I go every year, but I can't say I'd ever come back to Con Murphy's or recommend it to anyone I know.The service was extremely slow, the staff actually quite rude. My table was ignored for most of the time we were there. When we finally ordered and got our drinks and appetizers, it was not anything to write home about - very standard pub fare.We didn't even finish our first round of drinks and appetizers, when we were suddenly told that we needed to leave because our table had been reserved for another party. We hadn't even had the chance to order second drinks or entrees yet.Why did they allow us to make reservations or even seat us, if they didn't plan to let us enjoy drinks and food at our leisure? On top of that, if they were overbooked, or busy, why was the service so slow? Why were there several servers grouped up in the corners chatting and audibly talking trash about patrons? I don't think I've ever felt this insulted by any hospitality establishment before.Our group ended up going to a different restaurant to get drinks and food, and the experience (and food) was ten time better.

Came here with a group of friends for brunch and we left feeling disappointed. When we arrived, the hostesses told us there was no seating inside and to check the upstairs bar for spots (there were none). We decided to sit outside since there was a heater, but honestly we were still freezing so I wouldn't recommend the outdoor seating if it's cold. We ordered the Murphy fries and Parmesan truffle fries for the table and honestly the fries were the best thing we had there. The other food was not good. I ordered the avocado toast with eggs and they very clearly burnt my toast and just covered it up anyway with the toppings. Additionally, none of my food was seasoned and it was just very bland. My friend found a hair in his food. No one at my table seemed to enjoy their meals and we unfortunately left a lot of food unfinished. Service was okay; our waitress was good but the hostesses werent very nice. The wait times were long. On top of just not having a good dining experience, they add on 20% gratuity automatically so watch out for that. Overall I probably wouldn't come back here for food.

Pivoted from another restaurant on the Parkway and made a last minute resys for Con Murphy's on a stormy Spring Saturday. Best decision ever!! It was a true vibe. I love warm welcomes and friendly faces when I walk into an establishment and that's exactly what I was greeted with at this Irish Pub. The hostess and our waiter Bill were both outstanding!What We Toasted With:Victory Prima Pils - Downingtown, PA (5.3%) (5/5)Espresso Martini (5/5) Hot Toddy - Perfect on a soggy Saturday (5/5)Irish Coffee - Also a perfect pick me up (5/5)What We Ate:Cheesesteak Eggrolls w/Sriracha Aioli - These were lacking a bit of flavor and just okay. (3/5)Brioche French Toast - w/Applewood Smoked Bacon and a side of strawberry compote and maple syrup. Absolutely delicious! (5/5)Salmon Benedict - 2 poached eggs, seared salmon filet, tomato and sautéed spinach on an English muffin, hollandaise and breakfast potatoes. Another winner! (5/5)Blackend Grouper Sandwich - seared grouper filet, lettuce, tomato, red onion, Chipotle mayo and a Brioche bun. Another homerun! (5/5)The food was fresh, hot and plentiful. When you're stuffed and get home then remember you meant to order dessert...just means you MUST plan a return visit lol. There's truly no other option!

I found myself in Philadelphia for work and knew I needed to have a few cheesesteaks. Con Murphy's was right by the hotel and highly rated. A group of us decided to give it a try. It was a busy evening, but they were quickly able to get a table for all of us. The ambience was warm and welcoming and service was great. There was a great beer selection as well. Unfortunately the cheesesteak was disappointing. It seemed like it was ground beef with melted American white cheddar cheese. No peppers and onions. Though it tasted okay, it didn't live up to the hype of a Philadelphia Cheesesteak. If you're looking for an authentic Philadelphia Cheesesteak, I wouldn't recommend Con Murphy's. However, I would be willing to try this place again to try other items on the menu.

What an amazing surprise!!!I came to Philly due to a conference and we had a couple of hours to "kill" before the conference started and on our way from the parking lot to the conference, we stumbled into this place, very low key, in a very busy street corner... EVERYTHING IS PERFECT HERE!! Portions were big, well priced dishes, service was friendly and inviting.. great atmosphere.. it was SO GOOD... we had to come AGAIN!! the conference ended at 5 pm and instead of heading back home (2hrs one way without traffic) we couldn't help it but get our a$$es back here for appetizers and drinks... this is a true Philly gem! If you are in the Philly downtown area PLEASE COME HERE!!! Thank me later!! Special shout-out to Michael T (my brunch waiter) and Conor M (the afternoon waiter).. LOVE LOVE LOVE

My family and I went to Con Murphy's for Center City Restaurant Week. The only person that ended up eating from the CCD Restaurant Week menu was my stepmother. I ordered:-- Snickerdoodle Martini -- Tito's Vodka, Amaretto, Bailey's Irish Cream, Half & Half, Cinnamon-- Coca Cola | Lemonade-- Bavarian Pretzel Sticks -- Grainy Mustard, Cheese Sauce-- Cheesesteak Egg Rolls, Sriracha Aioli-- Caesar Salad (Small) -- Romaine, Parmesan,Croutons, Caesar dressingEverything I ordered was tasty and well seasoned. The pretzels were freshly toasted. The salad was fresh. The meat in the cheesesteak egg rolls were nicely seasoned.The service was nice. Our waitress was attentive, yet didn't hover. She made great recommendations and kept our drinks refilled. The restaurant was as loud to be expected for a Sports Bar?!? I'm quite sure it would be louder when a game is being played.I really think we may return at some point.

After a long journey on Amtrak from Boston, I arrived in Philadelphia completely famished. Fortunately, Con Murphy's was near the hotel I was staying at, so I decided to drop in.Upon entering, I noticed the restaurant was completely packed. Nevertheless, I was promptly seated. Based on the recommendation of the server, I went with the Shepherd's Pie. Despite the restaurant being completely full, my food came out within a very reasonable amount of time. Surprisingly, the Shepherd's Pie was actually made of lamb, not beef, like some other restaurants I've been to. Overall, the pie was seasoned very well, and the salty gravy complemented the mashed potatoes perfectly.For dessert, everything on the menu looked good. My server recommended the bread pudding, which according to the menu, was served with whiskey infused sauce. Nevertheless, I barely tasted the whiskey. My dinner was pretty good, but the disappointing dessert at the end keeps this experience at 4 stars.

Shrimp risotto is actually to die for... seriously... who knew an Irish pub could do it like that. The drinks are obviously decadent, the staff are all so friendly and fun (shoutout to my girl Wynn, she's the best).... all that to say I do also go back at least once a month for the shrimp risotto alone... WOW.
