Murphy's
Murphy's is one of those Atlanta institutions that has earned its place in the city's dining history without losing its neighborhood soul.
A Virginia-Highland mainstay for more than four decades, it is best known for brunch, but the appeal goes well beyond that.
Under executive chef Matt McCarthy, the menu leans seasonal American with a polished, approachable sensibility, moving from shareable starters and composed salads to longtime favorites like brisket, salmon, roasted chicken, and steaks.
What keeps Murphy's enduring is the balance it strikes: familiar but never dull, refined but still warm, and consistently suited to everything from a weekday lunch to a celebratory dinner.
