In Short – Popular for weekend brunch and as a weeknight standby, this neighborhood favorite draws a crowd with friendly service and an attractive setting. Just inside is a large wine room, a tempting dessert case and a stylish marble bar ideal for solo diners. The comfortable main dining rooms feature exposed brick, thick linens and warm woods. Homemade baked goods and solid egg dishes dominate Atlanta's most popular brunch, whose secret weapon is an impossibly rich hollandaise sauce.

Worth the wait for brunch

by ATLFoodie

For some reason we always end up eating at the bar because we just can take the wait on a Sunday. If it wasn't just the two of us though, the wait would be worth it. The selection is varied, so if you feel like lunch and your partner feels like breakfast you have plenty of options. They make a tasty bloody mary!

  • Pros: Food
  • Cons: Waiting in line

A cozy spot for 2 will do!

by KeithKNOWS

I can't believe Murphy's has been around for over 25 years, amazing. That's a huge compliment, especially in the fickled restaurant business, ...enough already! Brunch at Murphy's is to die for, my specialty... egg white omelet, the food is always freshly prepared. It's the perfect spot for a romantic date for 2 or a secret rendezvous! Save room for scrumptious desserts. The restaurant offers an extensive wine list and an ambiance you won't forget! I guarantee you won't be disappointed, there's also valet parking.

  • Pros: Valet Parking, perfect ambience, Superior Customer Service

Good food & service

by kemeers

food wasn't spectacular & in VaHi there is a lot of competition - several @ our table had the halibut w/ mashed potoates; it tasted good but for $17 it was overpriced in my opinion -- desserts looked really good, i might make a trip back for dessert/coffee next time -- took out of town guests & they enjoyed the atmosphere & location, plus 10 min wait was awesome since i was expecting much longer

  • Pros: decent food, good atmosphere, 10min wait, location
  • Cons: pricey
