Murphy's Diner

I was really looking forward to trying something new. We were greeted right away and sat quickly. The staff was good and attentive, she did forget something but the world is short staffed, so I totally understood. She took our order quickly and then we sat.. we waited over 45 minutes for tasteless food. The restaurant wasn’t busy, so I was confused but again understanding. However, the pancakes were like cardboard and had no taste. They were so thin and they were hard. We were not the only ones who complained and we opted not to speak to the manager because by the time all of that happened we had been there for over an hour and fifteen minutes and we had to go. The bacon was mostly fat, the home fries were basically boiled potatoes with no flavor and the hash was way over cooked. The only thing that had taste was the toast, which was really good. Sadly, we will not be back and will not recommend. The space itself is great and the wait staff was awesome, but they can’t help that the food was just awful.

I guess because they was very busy and looks like short of staff, the food took more than an hour and when it came, bacon was burned, my omelet bacon was half burned and half uncooked, onions and tomatoes burned as well, pancakes was very dry, they only refilled my husband coffee after he requested. They should at least told us when we enter that the kitchen was busy and food would take longer to be ready. Milkshakes took about 25 minutes to be served but tastes very good.

Food was good, service was terrible. Arrived at 9am - didn’t get our drink order taken until 20 after. Was told by our waitress we weren’t in her section but she’d help us anyways ( thanks?). The person whose section we were in walked by our table 20+ times looking at us but never stopped to help. Our food order was taken but we didn’t receive it for another 40+minutes. The only person who paid us any attention the entire time we were there was a new guy who was in training. Thank goodness for him or we’d still be waiting for our food. Editing my review to explain further - at the time I was there the restituant wasn’t busy. We were just ignored. They were only a handful of other customers in the location at the time. Outside of the new guy nobody checked on us or told us what was going on. They just wandered around aimlessly. I hope the bagpipers that came in before we left were treated better than we were.

I’ve been here twice in my life and both times I was waiting over 20 minutes before our DRINK orders were taken. Both times I came and they told me to sit wherever I wanted and then took an extremely long amount of time to come to the table, despite it being EXTREMELY slow and having almost no other customers. To add to that, it took over an hour for our food to come.

Not sure how the food was... never got service. We went in and sat at the table and waited. No menu, water coffee. We were sitting at the table NEXT TO THE SERVER! She spent 10 minutes talking about vaccines and other jobs at Dartmouth Hitchcock with the table next ti us. She never actually greeted us or offered anything, she never stopped talking with the other table... when we got up to leave she finally stopped talking and acknowledged us and offered menus. She said sorry I am alone.... maybe we will go back when there is someone else.

Great diner. I was very early for a flight out of Manchester and wanted to grab breakfast with a friend. I did the usual Google roulette and came up with a gem. This restaurant looks generic when you enter but the food is really original. I had the Solo breakfast and it's the perfect sampler of your regular American diner breakfast except small in portion. Everything seems really freash and not out of a can of frozen. Bacon is nice and thick cut, sausage is juicy well cooked. Eggs are eggs wherever you go..... But the pancakes!!!!!! Now I love pancakes "fried" and these seemed fried. The outside is so crisp with a slight cake like soft consistency. It's a beautiful compromise between flat fried pancakes and fluffy floury pancakes. And you don't need syrup. The pancake can stand alone. I love this place. The service is wonderful and the coffee is generic but really strong. It has a quiet atmosphere which seemed like for lunch could get rowdy. And there was a juke box but because of the ambiance of my particular visit I did not see the selection. If you're just driving around downtown looking for a place to go. Try this place. It's really worth your time.
