Johnny Murphys - Newry and Mourne

After a break in Malahide myself and my sisters decided to stop at Murphys to break the journey home. After perusing the menu my sister ordered the burger....and I said I'd have the same. My other sister apologised and asked if she could just have a children's chicken nuggets and chips but an adult portion. The waitress seemed to take the order ok. After a while she returned with our food .... two very plain burgers and a heap of chips, some chicken nuggets and a heap of chips. We were all more than disappointed expecting a garnished plate with bacon, onions and relish as described in the menu. We asked the waitress why this was not the case and she said she thought we all wanted childrens portions and we should have asked for the special burger. I suggest it was entirely up to her to clarify this when taking the order! Clearly these were not childrens portions! We would have gone to a chippy if we had wanted chippy food. The waitress begrudgingly offered to take them back and garnish them but we declined the offer. The food was already luke warm and mediocre. She didn't even apologise but avoided us and send a different girl to clear and give us the bill who was also very curt and ill-mannered. A very disappointing visit. We will not be back.

We recently visited Johnny Murphy's as we awere staying in our camper in the slieve guillion getaways. We were met by the most friendliest smiley waitress, didn't get her name but she had glasses and was pregnant. The decor was beautiful with soft lighting, we were seated in a booth. We both ordered fillet steak..The portions were a great size and the steak was a great fit. I could not fault the meal at all. It was beautiful. We then had Bailey's cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding which again was delicious. Highly recommend this restaurant.

We called in for lunch. The staff were friendly with a nice atmosphere. The food was exceptional. Really good and good value

We were staying nearby so popped in to Johnny's to pick up a take away one night, there is a HUGE range of options on the menu including Chinese, Fish Chips and Pizza. We phoned in our order and they turned it around aith about 15 minutes, the food was decent quality and competively priced.

We were here for lunch in December 2021 and the quality was hit'n'miss so it was refreshing to find that they're back on form. After another cobweb-clearing climb up Slieve Gullion, Murphys is a short drive away and highly recommended. The bar itself is sublime; the welcoming decor and open fires would make you wish you were there for the night. As it is, we had superb soups and starters. Service, value and food all excellent.
