Murphy's Lunch - American restaurant in Winston-Salem - 207 W 3rd St, USA

A hidden gem on 3rd across from Kaleideum. Homemade comfort food, 100% Angus hot dog anyway you like, my favorite the 1/2 lb Philly made from whole sirloin, seasoned and chopped on the grill, handheld sandwiches, fried chicken, pork chop sammich, old school hand scooped ice cream and shakes. The prices will take you back to the 90's. The owner John is incredible. He certainly puts his heart into his work. Extremely kind and this man can COOK!! Come see him. Monday 1130-3 Tuesday-Friday 11-4

What a nice surprise! I’m from Winston and have passed by this place for years. Today, I gave it a try. The rosemary chicken (Friday special) was outstanding! Two to three specials can be ordered cafeteria style, or you can order from the grill. The chicken I got was from the line. High sanitation grade too. Give this place a try. I’ll definitely be back.

This place is a throwback to years gone by... A cafeteria style lunch counter serving a meat and two from hot trays behind glass and various sandwiches made to order. The owner/ chef / line cook / waiter/ cashier / buser / dishwasher has been running this place for the last two years by himself and is doing an incredible job. My parents brought me here when I was a child back in the the 80's and it warmed my heart to find out it was still here and going strong. I had my go-to from yesteryear, the country style steak and I ended up having three sides (mac and cheese, black eyed peas, and baby limas) since I couldn't decide on two. It was as good as I remembered. I watched a couple of cheeseburgers be prepared and I almost got that they looked so good. My wife had a BLT and she was very pleased with her sandwich. I think they're open Monday through Friday lunch only...... If you find yourself in downtown Winston-Salem at lunch time be sure to give this place a try. You won't be disappointed.

I def give this place 5 stars! I found them online while I was in Winston for a conference. The breakfast at the hotel was $15 and I could not afford to do that for 3 mornings. The service at Murphy’s was quick and the food was great! Each morning I ordered 2 pancakes with bacon and scrambled eggs. It’s was just over $5. I stayed at the Marriott downtown and it was right around the corner which was great so I didn’t have to drive or catch an Uber or Lyft.

I go to this establishment often for lunch mostly. It's clean and the manager is okay, even though he needs a dishwasher and looks like someone to help him I was their two days ago and yes he was working alone, and yes the service was good. Another jewel in the downtown location.

I was staying at the Marriott Winston-Salem and was looking for a place to get breakfast outside the hotel. I found this place and to my surprise it was only a 2 minute walk from the hotel. I tried it and was very pleasantly surprised. The breakfast was phenomenal and the prices are very reasonable. If you are in Winston-salem and looking for a good place to get breakfast, come here. You can't go wrong.

Murphy’s is the right kind of hole-in-the-wall hometown diner. Portions were large, especially for the price. Food was tasty and was a quick turnaround. Served cafeteria style. Menu is straightforward and not lots of variety, actually a plus for this setup. Came hungry, left satisfied.

Food is always amazing. Service professional. I recommend you go try murphy's lunch. I love eating there.
