The colossal shrimp are incredible. The food was very very good. You must get past the lack of cleaning. The place is dirty. The staff is very good. I consider it a dive bar

Have been before and enjoyed the atmosphere and food….. not this time! The rug in the room we were in was so dirty and stained , cobwebs and debris on windowsills…. It seems there may be new owners since our last visit….. we ordered some...cokes and the more we looked around the less comfortable we became. The 4 of us paid our drink tab and left…. Never to return!More

Burgers were good and they had live music playing. The fries were not the greatest though and their lighting could be better too.

The staff was very friendly, and the atmosphere is of a sports bar. The seafood was ok. But, the scallops were fake. The manager showed me the bag of scallops he buys. The scallops were all the same size. Inside the scallops it looked like...processed fish. Scallops are the most misrepresented seafood. Check internet. You pay good money, and you want scallops. Even the taste was not great for fish. If the Florida Agriculture finds out they could be shut down. Unfortunately, many tourist customers do no the difference. The last figure that I heard 40% of the seafood served at restaurants is fake.More

After driving all day. I walked over from hotel to check it out. I had a couple drinks and a Philly cheese steak sandwich. I believe the bar tender is also owner watching him do other things. Great personality. Other staff I talked to also....Talked to a couple locals and they were also nice. When my order was ready. He brought it over to show me. I got it to go. Wow huge sandwich with fries. Finished my drink and left. He also chased me out to parking lot because I forgot my mask there. My my was excellent.More

We live in Orlando and visit Ocala a few times a year. Have been to Murphy's a couple of times and enjoyed it. This morning we wake to see that we have a $72.26 fraudulent charge on our credit card from Murphy's Oyster Bar on...June 23, 2021. We haven't been to Ocala in several months. Called both phone numbers and neither answer and neither permit an incoming message.More

I arrived tired and hungry. My server was extremely kind and understanding. Unfortunately, my $25.00 ribeye steak that I ordered was unedible. It was extremely grisled and over seasoned. I ordered this steak to go but it was so bad that I actually returned it...to the restaurant to show them that I couldn't eat it. They offered to replace it but to be honest; it was so bad that there was No Way I was getting another one. Could I afford to just give them $25 for nothing? No. But I was simply too darn tired and too aggravated to do anything else.More

This place is disgusting. The place looks gross and now the food tastes gross. Don’t even let me get started on the service and the bartender/ server who has been there for ever. She doesn’t get your order right she doesn’t come check on customer....She doesn’t acknowledge that she heard. This place is a joke and needs to be closed down.More
