Murphy's On the Green — Restaurant in Hanover

2024 update: My daughter and I stopped in for a quick dinner recently, as I was in the mood for a good burger. We sat at a hightop table in the bar that was incredibly sticky. I asked a passing busser to wipe it down, which did not help. We moved two tables down and had the same problem. Apparently, the finish on the tabletops is wearing off or was not applied properly. It was so annoying that I put my cloth napkin down so my arm hair would not rip out every time I moved my arm.

We waited 10 minutes for our server to acknowledge us and take our drink order. My Guinness draft was warm and flat, the worst I have ever tasted. I also learned that Murphys now only serves smash burgers, which are cooked well-done. The smash burger was good, except for the dregs of cold fries that came with it and the high price for such a thin pattied-burger. My daughter's battered fish was good, but her fries were also cold. Our server forgot my side of coleslaw and insisted she would bring it even though I had already finished my burger. She also brought us the wrong takeout that I ordered for my wife, which I luckily caught.

I expressed my frustration about the warm beer, missing coleslaw, and cold fries, so our server took them off the bill. Nice gesture, but it still does not make up for the poor experience. The manager walked by our table several times and never asked about my complaints.

Overall, I was disappointed and will not go back.

2021 Review: Just tried their new "street food" menu. The Tijuana fries would have been good, but they were wayyyy too salty. The pulled pork tacos were terrible. The pork was bland and the pickled cabbage completely over powered the taco. My first thought after taking a bite was, "has the chef actually tried these?" Cabbage and pulled pork can be a great combination, but not with the amount of vinegar used here. The service was good, but the food was not. Murphy's was one of the best spots in Hanover, but I would not recommend...

They seriously need to get a chef in there. I am very easy to please. Man was this a disappointing disaster. Fish and chips.: you'd think for the $$ youd get a nuce pice of fish. The tiny pieces that were placed over the greasiest cold and mostly burnt fries and cole slaw that looked good but tasted like a salt shaker fell over in it, fish was fresh and filled the fork twice. As for the other two dishes that were ordered: chicken with rice came in a bowl and was all mooshy and like pasty oatmeal. The othe was a. Curry dish with rice and was just like the rice and chicken dish. The waitress was nice enough and bubbly. When she gave us the check, she said: you guys were so delightful. We saw her when she took the order, that took almost 40 min. to reach the table. Then we saw her again with the bill, when she said: I hope you guys come back real soon. Seriously!!!!!!! We were all very disappointed! This is a tourist trap!!!! Through and through and they use Dartmouth Green as their pull. Almost $100 dollars two bowl of rice greasy fries and saly coleslaw. Live and learn. Murphy's on the green. May have been good before but they suck these days. 1st time I have ever given a review of place. But I compelled by this place and feel...

This is where I had the most disgusting dish in the restaurant. Being very hungry after a long day and the road, we plopped down on the bar at Murfy's quickly assessed the menu and chose Traut a la Nage, falling for the attractive description of the dish and as fish lovers. We ordered 2 same dishes much to our dismay. As the dishes were brought out into the restaurant hall, everyone looked around as they approached us, I smelled a familiar odor I had smelled the other day - my dog had found a rotten hare corpse and messed in it. I'm usually very critical and complain, but was so hungry and there was a last hope that the flavor would be different. It didn't look promising much either : chunks of fish swimming in pool of piss with giant beans and whole shallots. Too bad I didn't capture it in a photo. My husband was silent until the last, I swallowed the dish as soon as possible, so as not to scare away the people around me with the smell and whispered that my husband should also eat quickly. The portion was not big either. Excuse me, but who invented this vomitous dish that scares away everyone around? I want to note that the bar is also understaffed, we waited 15 minutes to ask for the check. The traut dish was 25$ each...
