Murphy’s won’t leave you broke

More by this author

Murphy’s Steakhouse has been “serving Indianapolis since ‘77” and based on the food, their experience shows.

This Irish themed restaurant nestled on Keystone and Fall Creek prides itself on three things: high-quality food, value for the customer and friendly service. Every time I’ve been to Murphy’s I’ve gotten all three.

You won’t find any fancy-schmancy dining here, just delectable steaks, chicken, seafood and chops.

If you’re looking for more than a soup and sandwich for lunch, Murphy’s is the place you should go. To get your afternoon off to a good start, try one of their appetizers. The crab cake ($7.95) is a great choice as well as the combination platter complete with mushrooms, cauliflower, zucchini and mozzarella sticks ($6.95).

Although Murphy’s does offer burgers, cold cut sandwiches and soup, you can get a heartier lunch for a great price. Try their Cajun grilled chicken portabella ($7.95) or the 8 oz. center cut “State Fair” pork chops ($7.95). Also hot off the grill are items like liver and onions ($6.95).

If you must have a sandwich, try one of my favorites, the patty melt ($6.95) or the open faced ribeye steak ($7.95).

Murphy’s is one of my favorite places to go for a cheap lunch, however my husband took me there for dinner and it was even more enjoyable. The dinner menu offers a more extensive selection of their mouthwatering fare.

We enjoyed the fried mushrooms ($5.95) as an appetizer and for dinner I dined on the South African lobster tail complete with French onion soup and a baked potato ($35). My husband stuck to meat and potatoes and ordered the New York strip ($9.95 for 8 oz.; $14.95 for 14 oz.) with salad and a baked potato.

If one is in the mood for something different, the barbecue pork chops ($16.95) and the Alaskan king crab legs ($32) are a delight, and for those who don’t eat pork or beef, the chicken Oscar, a grilled chicken breast topped with Murphy’s signature crab stuffing and chardonnay cream sauce ($18.95) is divine.

My favorite cut of steak is the filet mignon. Murphy’s serves this in an 8 oz. cut with mushrooms or béarnaise sauce ($21.95). Other steaks include porterhouse, boneless ribeye, petite filet, beef Oscar and more.

For parents who like to take their children to fancier restaurants or those who can’t find a sitter but still want a nice dinner, Murphy’s has a children’s menu that offers classic kid items like grilled cheese sandwich ($3.95) but also offers items like beef medallions ($5.95) so the kids can have a swanky meal just like the adults.

To complete the meal, Murphy’s offers side dishes, an extensive wine list and desserts.

Murphy’s Steakhouse doesn’t come with the unnecessary extras like other high-end restaurants, but you will definitely get a delicious and filling meal that won’t leave your pockets empty.
