South Fork Cafe — Restaurant in Murphy

Edit: 2nd Try

We gave the South Fork Cafe a 2nd go. And I can say, SO MUCH BETTER!!!! It looks like they have their kitchen issues ironed out. Food was served about 5 minutes after ordering, and there were no issues.

If you’re in the Murphy area, come check out the South Fork Cafe!

Decided to try a new place for breakfast in our small town. I had heard good things from others, so since we live across the street, we decided to give it a try.

I will start off by saying this place is fairly new and I’m sure they are still working out some kinks. There were plenty on seats available, so no wait on a Sunday at 11:15 am, which is usually not the case around here. We were promptly sat at our table and our drink orders were taken. We then shortly placed our orders and proceeded to wait for our food.

This is were things started going a little south. We were told that the kitchen was backed up and it would take a little longer for our food to come out. No problem! These kind of things happen. However, it took approximately 45 minutes before we got our food, and not all of it was ready, correct, and some was overcooked. Our order was biscuits and gravy(the first to come out), eggs Benedict(eggs over cooked, and rest of the food cold) blueberry crepes( got blueberry pancakes) western omelette w/ biscuit on the side(biscuit was hard and cold, no omelette).

We sent the incorrect and overcooked food back and proceeded to wait another 10 minutes for food. Out came the side biscuit( hot but still hard), eggs Benedict( hot and cooked properly), blueberry crepes, but still no omelette. 5 minutes later, finally the omelette. All food tasted good.

Hopefully this is just a little hiccup and they get everything sorted out. We will probably...

I have visited South Fork Cafe on three occasions now - one for breakfast, one that was more of a brunch, and one for lunch. The food has consistently been good. For breakfast, I have had the “Traditional” breakfast as well as an omelet. I always get the hash browns and they are good - crispy on the outside and tender inside. The bacon is thick-sliced and you get three strips. Bacon has ranged from crispy to somewhat limp and I have not requested anything special. There are several bread choices (including pancakes) and I’ve been a bit disappointed in the biscuit - my personal preference is a biscuit that has a little crunch on the outside. Tastes vary, however, and you may prefer a biscuit that is soft throughout. Coffee is excellent and definitely not your typical diner-grade coffee. I have also had the omelet which is served with the potatoes and a bread choice. The omelet was very good and they will customize. The gyro sandwich was also very good and you can choose a side (I had a small salad instead of fries). My lunch companion had the traditional breakfast (served any time) and was quite pleased. Service has been generally good with excellent service on 2 visits (shout out to Anita) and OK service on one busy Sunday. The manager (Sam) makes frequent trips around the tables to visit guests. One note - your server will give you your check and you pay at the front near the door. The decor is very nice - I can’t do it justice but there are pictures on their Google page. It’s great to have such a nice breakfast & lunch option in the greater Murphy / Wylie / Parker area. South Fork Cafe is doing things right and I plan to be a...

Wow absolutely blow away on how yummy ALL the food was ! Can’t wait to go back and try other options! Literally blow away because my hubby and I decided to come in while the car show was happening so the place was absolutely packed like standing room ! And nobody was upset so it really showed that it was worth the wait ! Turns out immediately upon walking in the “dishwasher “ motioned was a place at the bar to order and eat ! He was so attentive and he helped me choose my order bc I asked his recommendations….. the waiter , hostess, all workers including the “dishwasher “ were all smiling and very attentive with a mass of people hungry either waiting for a seat or eating ! Amazed me that with the amount of people they all were so calm and pleasant and smiling ! Turns out Alex the sweet dishwasher was one of the owners ! He is a gem and definitely has found his side hustle ! Before leaving a sweet man walked up and asked how everything was and I couldn’t tell him enough good stuff …. His name is Sam … the other Owner! Food is very very good not the same commercial food you get at the chains and definitely the workers attitude is by far the best ever !!! They will be opening another soon I believe in Plano ….. love this place ! ( my sister is a GM at Awshucks’s on Greenville and she has taught me how to find a good place …. But this place...
