Murphy’s Bar and Grill – Chinatown, HI

Another visit to Murphy’s and whew thank god they are not closing down! There was rumors circulating around that they were but the owner came out and refuted that real quick! I was able to join Chan and his workers for a quick lunch. It was wonderful and we had John as our server and he is just the sweetest server ever. I’ve been to Murphy’s before and have been served by him before and he is consistently the most caring and attentive staff member. It makes a big difference.

Fried Spicy Chicken Wings | $18.00 (full order)
served with ranch dressing

One of their specialties – super good. Tastes like homemade ranch dressing too. I forgot to get a picture of the basket of fries we ordered but their fries are super good too. Fried up perfectly.

Irish Dip | $22.50
thin sliced sirloin on baguette with horseradish mayonnaise, served with guinness au jus

Open Face Turkey Sandwich | $21.50
in-house roasted turkey on white or wheat bread, topped with gravy, served with mixed vegetables, mashed potatoes, and fresh cranberry sauce

I have never tried this but I would love to one day! One look at this dish and you’re like…where’s da sandwich? The bread is hidden underneath all that turkey! One of their most famous dishes.

Gaelic Steak | $29.50
new york steak topped with a green peppercorn sauce, served with mashed potatoes and mixed vegetables

Chan’s dish! The steak is cooked well and it’s a very nice gravy. The veggies are good and of course the mashed potato is fluffy and buttery, yum!

Fish N’ Chips | $19.50
cod fish and fries served with malt vinegar

When there is fish and chips on the menu, I’m there. Actually this might be sacrilegious but if I could have, I would have subbed the fries for white rice. I’m too Asian. Super good fish and the fries of course I said before is super good!

  1. Ah, where to park? Actually, Bank of Hawaii’s parking lot (accessed on Merchant Street) validates for 2 hours. Hmmm. I would like to take my friend who loves French dip sandwiches but she really takes her time and talks and talks so I go over the free validated period and pay bucks. I wonder if they do take out…
