Haus Murphy's

Service was attentive and friendly - the place was busy and the waiter still took such good care of everyone The menu offers a variety of options Clean and homey/warm atmosphere My grandpa has German roots and we have family (my uncle is in Hamburg) in Germany. The food is pretty authentic! Everything was fresh and hot.

My husband and I came here for the first time. It was Sunday like 4ish. I liked the food. My husband not so much. Server was great and recommended a sampler platter to share. They didn't have bread pudding anymore , I saw it online but not sure that it's still on the menu. I will be back. If there's bread pudding I may be able to convince him.

German food done right. Schnitzels are awesome. BIG pretzels. Das ist wirklich ein tolles Restaurant. We met friends there, had some big cold beers, and fantastic food. The service was great, like always, and the decore is perfect.

Great German food. I lived in Germany for 3 years and Haus Murphy's food tasted like classic German flavors. The jaeger schnitzel was crisp and light flavors. We enjoyed the pretzel with beer cheese and the curry wurst appetizers too. Will return with more family soon.

Great local place, I love the pretzel. Not typically a fan of beer cheese, but the beer cheese here is amazing and not gritty.

Our family of 6 went last evening for a late Father's Day gift as I wanted to see what the Wiener Schnitzel was like, since I had not experienced good ones since leaving Canada. We expected a noisy and simple elegance and that is what we got, so no surprise there. It did take an hour for the food but because of the number of guests (it was busy) I can understand that, but still, an hour is too long. The positive during that time was the great accordionist. That was the best value in the house. All the variations of food ordered was ample and generally quite good, "except".... ! The wiener Schnitzel was large and good, breading slightly overcooked but good. The "except" part. The only real disappointment were the chicken strips my daughter ordered. VERY over-fried, so much so that she could hardly bite through them and just left them. When the waitress picked up the food I mentioned this to her. She just looked at it, picked up the dishes and left, did not even apologize or make any comment or offer of restitution, just walked away like she was only worried about her tip. That was the deal breaker right there and a customer experience moment that could have been handled better. Will we go back? Perhaps, but not anytime soon.

I was skeptical at first. It wasn't clear where the front door was, and it wasn't clear whether we waited to be seated or not. At first appearance, it looked a bit like a cheap cafe. Food was fantastic. Best freaking pretzel I've ever had. Brats and Polish sausage were fantastic. Beer was cold and plentiful. Prices were maybe a bit high for what you get. We spent over $100 (before tip) for the two of us for two beers, a pretzel, two entres, and two desserts. My husband and I like to try new things on our rare dates away from the children, and it was definitely worth it!

Great spot! I’ve never had German food before but totally worth it!

This review is based on our last visit ~ two years ago. Haus has been my go-to for Authentic German food for 20+ years and what I grew-up with at home. Located in the historic old downtown Glendale Az where many of the historic shops have been repurposed as antique shops, restaurants, quaint center park. It's a fun place to walk for a look back in time. Haus Murphy's Parking (impacted score) On street parking is the primary place on both sides of the street including around the park. If not so lucky there are parking lots nearby that require a little walking. Ambiance - Classic German. Outside is the Biergarten which is best enjoyed in season and is a fun spot to enjoy your meal while listening to live entertainment. There is a dedicated Bar outside for Biergarten patrons. Inside the ambience is classic Deutschland decor and colors. Done in the spirit of Historic Downtown Glendale. Menu If this is your first visit to a German restaurant there are some items that would be more familiar like chicken Parmesan Deutsch style. Our favorites are any of the Bratwursts, Schnitzels; Jaeger or Schweitzer all w/o sauces. Favorite sides are (traditionell) red cabbage, Sauerkraut (Ein Muss), German potato's. Desert favorite are the strudels (Süßes Brot). Adult beverage selections Haus offers a large selection of German Brews, Wines and liquors. $$/$$ depending on adult beverages. Genießen Sie lhre Erfahrung!

A pretty cool German restaurant/bar located in Downtown Glendale! Parking can be difficult since there isn't much parking spots but there is a parking structure across the street as well as street parking Service is ok and not too attentive. It can get pretty loud inside especially on the weekends when it gets packed Menu has a huge variety of German dishes, whether you want a sandwich, bratwursts, or a traditional schnitzel plate. Pricing is pretty pricey so expect to pay $20+/dish but they give you plenty of food! Got the Traditional Sauerbraten ($29.95) and it's limited availability AND Guy Fieri's favorite (apparently, he's been to this spot before and this was his FAVE!) it's marinated in their special mixture for 9+ days and then slowly cooked for 12 hours! I thought the gravy was very salty and I wasn't a fan of the beef. The purple cabbage was very interesting and sweet. It was pretty enjoyable and flavorful. This dish was 6/10 for me Got the Schwimmbad ($12) and it was pretty strong but refreshing. It was very fruity and I enjoyed the pineapple juice, coconut cream, and blue Curacao. This was 8/10 for me It's an unique spot to check out but I probably won't return. I would recommend it for first timers!

I could have sworn I wrote my review after finally visiting this place that I have seen for years and have been really wanting to try! I went with some friends after work, and I swear it was around Oktoberfest because they had a special menu that we ordered from. I will go through my phone later and upload the pictures I know I took. I want to say I got a chicken schnitzel. Pretty much anything I ordered was new to me. I had a really nice time with my friends and I got to see a lot of the food since just about everyone ordered something different. It really is a place to try. There are a few places to park nearby, as there are only a couple of spots right out front of the place.

Finally checked this place out and it was so fun! We went on a Friday night and it was probably the busiest place in downtown Glendale. They had live music playing! The food looked and smelled amazing but we just tried the pretzel - which was delicious! We got a flight of beer - I tried one from each category and loved them all. We were too full to try anything else - definitely come with an appetite for the full experience! We will be back!

This is my favorite German food. It's so freaking good! I am obsessed with the Schnitzel. We get the plate for two to share and it has a little bit of everything. The only thing here is the service is never good. Sometimes it's almost on the side of rude. Tia was our server tonight. Slow as could be. She would come back after asking for her and have excuses that she is also tending the bar. The nice man in the dining room should have just taken care of all of the tables because he was nice and doing more work than her. I wish my tip would have went towards him.

I usually get the chicken schnitzel at Haus Murphy's. It's always delicious and never disappoints. For an appetizer, we tried the Haus Brot. It's a bread stuffed with ham and cheese. It was pretty tasty. They have a great selection of German beers too. I've tried the Warsteiner Dunkel and Hofbrau Lager. The service was friendly but expect to spend a decent amount of time there for a meal as the kitchen can be slow at times. They sometimes have live music with tubas and accordions.

We were promptly greeted upon arrival, but unfortunately, we were seated in the back room bar area, which felt more like an overflow warehouse. While I understand the building's age might contribute to the smell, the dirty floors and dust were unacceptable. The place looked neglected, as if the owners didn't care about its appearance. There's a fine line between having a restaurant with charm and character and one that looks outdated and unkempt. I've visited other European-themed restaurants with even more decor, yet they manage to stay clean-- or think Cracker Barrel, for an easy example. They have charm and they are clean, and it looks like a real restaurant not an old Wearhouse with broken tables. The limited street parking is another drawback, making it less likely for me to return. The customer service was also disappointing. Our waitress was unfriendly and answered questions with a hint of attitude. When I ordered a beer flight, she bluntly informed me they no longer offer them, despite it being on the menu. She explained they didn't have enough glasses and couldn't serve it without causing issues with other tables. When I inquired about the differences between two beers on the menu, she said they were out of stock. After several more questions, I finally settled on a Paulaner. It was frustrating to see items on the menu that weren't available, and instead of me having to ask all the questions, the waitress should have proactively suggested alternatives. On a positive note, the beer and the schnitzel sampler I ordered were good. However I would have liked more of the schnitzel sauce because it was not enough to taste and you end up tasting just the schnitzel. The pretzels was good. Total was 65

Stopped here after a fair thanks to my manager recommending this place. My friend and I shared the meatloaf sandwich and potato salad. It was freaking delicious. I think the best meatloaf I've had. Hope my mom doesn't read this from heaven, lol. The meatloaf was so flavorful, and that gravy OMG soooo good. Potato salad was quite tasty too.

We went here yesterday and this place is absolutely delicious! We had been there one other time before and tried a beer flight and that was really good too. We had the stuffed mushrooms, Eisben, and the Kasepatzle.

So we moved far from our normal German place Edelweiss. I've been craving some schnitzel and found this place online. We started with the Giant Oktoberfest pretzel. It was pretty good but the cheese is a spread not a sauce and it was cold. Tasted alright but could have been better. My wife got the Schweitzer schnitzel which is almost like a cordon bleu but with pork. Pork, Black Forest ham and cheese. She said it was ok didn't have enough cheese but she really liked the potatoes. I had the Jager Schnitzel. It was hot and crispy with a tender center. The only complaint I have is it could have used more sauce. I agree with my wife the potatoes were really good. Nether of us ate the cabbage, it's just not our thing. Overall it was pretty good. If we have time to drive we would probably head to edelweiss but in a pinch this place will do.

Haus Murphy's is really hard for me to rate because things would drag it down to a three star rating, then other mitigating factors would pull it back to four stars, then back and forth again. I've probably had this restaurant bookmarked for more than a decade but we live an hour away. We finally made it here tonight. Ambiance: I thought it was terribly drab, with cheap furniture, dirty windows, and low budget posters on the walls BUT having the accordion guy playing was kinda nice. Food: I love späetzle but theirs tasted very flavorless to me BUT my Schweizer Schnitzel was very good - breaded expertly, tender, and cooked to perfection. Service: There is no dispute here. Scottie was a really sweet, wonderful waiter. He's probably why I settled on four stars rather than three. Even though I ended up liking my schnitzel, I was disappointed enough in the ambiance of Haus Murphy to not want to make the trek back out to Glendale again.

Love this place, everything always hits the spot. Paprika Schnitzel is my favorite by far, but everything I've had has always been great.

Food, service, outside dining...epic! Pretzel was mind blowing. The German potato salad was exactly like I had growing up in a German family and really close to what I had in Munich. Prost!

It was rather busy when we got there. They were able to find a table in the back for us. I think there was only two waitresses working so it took awhile to be served. We got a pretzel with beer cheese to start. It was a little on the salty side for me but was really soft. Our food came out and I wanted just a little more gravy. I was charged &1 for the gravy and not advised of the charge. That is annoying. It was very loud in the place Until it seemed all but one of the tables left. The food was good, I will be back. However, I will try to go at a less busy time.

Amazing Food, above and beyond Service and authentic German Ambiance. Great location in the heart of Glendale and many shops nearby to stroll by.

We had Reservations for 6pm for a party of 20 but it was downsized to 11 people. Our Server was Kaylie and she started out nice but we had people ordering drinks and asking about different items on the menu and that started to irritate her. We had Appetizers and they came out fairly soon but after about another hour sitting there, she came back out to check to see what 3 people in the party had ordered. So we politely asked her if they forgot the order or hadn't made it (We were going to just ask them to cancel the order at that time since we were all starving) and she told us that it was ordered & she just needed to verify it. She wrote down all our orders so she had her pad of paper she could have verified it truthfully with the kitchen. So it is going on about 8pm and the dishes start slowly trickling out. Mind you other parties have already been seated served and have left while we were waiting for our food. The food came out at all different temps, some meals were hot, some were just warm like they were sitting there or under a heat lamp. The Meatloaf was very dry and the Beef Roulade was extremely tough and had no flavor like I've had before there. She never came back to check to see how any of our meals were or how we were doing but sadly she complained about our table to the other waiters and bartender since we overheard it. The Bar area and outside seating area have gone down hill. They used to have strings of lights outside that ran over the table area which are gone and inside it used to be a little darker for a more authentic feel but that has all gone away. This was my Favorite place to come after Thanksgiving but the Service has drastically gone down hill and the food was not as genuine and delicious as years past! I'm not sure if Owners have changed or they don't care about the Restaurant like before but it definitely shows. Our bill of $489.00 wasn't cheap for the sub par experience & mediocre service. I hope you as the owners take these 1Star comments to heart and try to improve the Experience and Bring back the good German feel/food you used to have!!

From the moment we sat down we were welcomed! The restaurant was full of diners. Good and plenty of German food.

We were visiting the area and decided to try the clean restaurant serving German food in downtown Glendale. The service was fast and friendly. The food was delicious and very filling. Would definitely stop by again if we are in the area.

Tried this place based on a colleague's recommendation. We got the platter for 2 and Schnitzel sampler and it was more than enough food for 3 people it would probably feed 4-5 comfortably. The Schnitzels were all great, the meatloaf got mixed opinions from the group it definitely doesn't taste like the standard American meatloaf but it is authentic German food after all. I also tried their Grapefruit beer and it was probably one of the best I've had, though I don't drink much. I also loved the atmosphere it was quaint but clean and they had fun German music, I assume folk it wasn't pop or anything. The food did take awhile to come out but I take that as it being prepared from Scratch. They also offered me a nice little Streudel for my birthday which was also delicious.

Been here a few times and it's never disappointed! We normally get the same dishes and I am not German at all but my friends dad is and he enjoys it. Service I will say can be hit or miss but I wouldn't let that keep you from coming. Also love the bar inside and that they have both indoor and outdoor seating!

Attended their Oktoberfest. Made a reservation for 6:00. Didn't matter, because we ended up waiting for 20 minutes in line. Reservations couldn't be made online, you had to send them your phone number and they call you individually. Cover charge was $10pp, cash only, even though they accept cards for food. No ATM on premises. Finally seated around 6:30. Wait a while, order drinks. Wait longer. Eventually order food. We order appetizers, mains, and try to order dessert. Our waiter gives us attitude for trying to order dessert along. Completely uncalled for. Eventually receive drinks. Wait at least another 30 minutes. Finally receive apps. Pretzel was fine, but we were starving by this point, as it was 90 minutes from when our reservation was supposed to begin. Finish it quickly. Wait, literally, no joke, at least another hour. They forgot about us. I go to get another drink. Apparently getting drink tickets at the front is cheaper than ordering with the server. Oh well. Server is giving everyone around us attitude for asking where their food is. Other people leave without paying because they were forgotten about too. Other people around us eventually receive their food. They help flag our waiter. They finally bring our mains out. It's for the wrong table. Oops. Another few minutes. At long last, our food is here, 2.5 hours from our reservation start. It's cold. Schnitzel is soggy. Potatoes are burnt. We eat. We give up on dessert. We wait at least another 30 minutes for the check. It's for the wrong table. Wait a few more. The check now has a bunch of extra stuff we didn't order on it. Finally receive correct check. Waiter is nowhere to be found to take it. Flag someone else to charge it. We finally receive it back and leave, 3.5 hours from our reservation start time. You may ask, why didn't we go and dance and listen to the band since it's Oktoberfest? We wish we could. We could barely hear them. There was hardly room near the stage to dance. The benches were set up so it was nigh impossible to get out from them on one side next to the wall. Once you were in, you were in. The most depressingly disappointing experience we've had in Phoenix. People say this is the best Oktoberfest in the Valley. Somehow that's true (Oktoberfest Tempe is impressively worse), and yet it is also completely unrecommendable.

This place was SO good! My nephew has been wanting to try this eatery and decided that now (while my husband and I were visiting) was the best time! I'm so glad that he waited for us. This place was actually featured on Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives. There was so much to choose from. We started with an order of their stuffed mushrooms. They were stuffed with sausage, spinach and herbs, and served over some kind of mushroom cream sauce. I'm getting hungry just thinking about it. For my entree I ordered the Schnitzel sampler plate. It came with one Chicken schnitzel, one Jaeger schnitzel, and one Paprika schnitzel. I liked them all, but I think I liked the Paprika one the best. It was served with German potatoes and red cabbage. All very good, and very plentiful. My husband got the Kassler Brat combo, my nephew got the Big Smoky Beef Bratwurst, and my niece got a Caesar salad with chicken. There were no complaints. There was even a musician playing an accordion. Everything was great. Too bad we don't live in the area.....we would totally like to eat there again.

Hidden little gem in downtown Glendale. I'll be the first to admit that I don't know a lot about German food and drink, but Haus Murphy's is worth a visit! Service: Nothing too special here but they're certainly friendly enough and get the job done. We came on a Saturday evening without reservations and despite being very busy they found a spot for us. Food/Drink: Again, I have nothing to compare it against in terms of German food but it was all enjoyable. I think I got the Jager Schnitzel and Potato Pancakes along with two different wines while I was there. The Schnitzel had great flavors and a nice crispy texture and the Potato Pancakes were decent but I didn't really dig the sauces. It's been a few months now and I forget which wines I drank, but one was German and one was French. Neither were varietals I had heard of before. I've never been the biggest fan of old world wines, but these weren't bad and getting to try new varietals is always fun. Ambiance: This was the highlight in my opinion. From the front door the restaurant winds through various rooms with a range of German decor. As we approached the large back room where we would be seated we started hearing accordion music with voices singing. As we walk in the room we see a jovial old man playing an accordion with the entire room singing along to "Do-Re-Mi"! He later went from table to table accepting requests, so it was really dinner and a show!

I went to this restaurant for the first time and I was very impressed. The waitress was very nice. The restaurant great feeling about it and I felt very comfortable. I had the bratwurst and the meal was excellent. I tried the other food from the plates of my family and I was impressed with the quality of those plates too. I will be back to this restaurant and I look forward to going back.

My family visited this place on Wednesday and it had quite a few people dining. We were sat in the back room so it was pretty quiet. We ordered the Oktoberfest big pretzel with the house cheese and the potato pancakes as starters. They were pretty good, although i wasn't a fan of the cheese dip. For mains we ordered Wiener schnitzel, chicken schnitzel, das Haus brot, currywurst, and Oma's hackenbraten. There were no complaints on the food at all. We were also celebrating a birthday so they gave us a small slice of apple strudel which was super good too. We also ordered a apfelschnapps snot which was incredibly good. Our waitress was very attentive and the food all came out hot. We enjoyed our food. I did use the restroom here and it was a little odd, one stall have the toilet seat completely removed and sitting on the floor. Thankfully the other stall was all put together. It is in an older building so it's a little "small" and the entrance isn't marked very well (it's through the outside sitting area as opposed to the front door) there is also a missing gate or something to the outside sitting area that has some exposed bolts that my sister stepped on and hurt her foot. So just be aware as there wasn't any signage or anything warning and someone could trip and fall or puncture there shoe on it.

Always, always, always delish. Beers from thousand year old German breweries, and the best dishes outside of Europe. Relish.

Love their chicken schnitzel! The pretzel appetizer comes with *cold* cheese -- knowing it's meant to come that way makes it much more enjoyable. Their warm potato salad is so good. Our waiter was pleasant and attentive.

We have dined here many times and the Oma's meatloaf was horrible tonight. The most dry meal ever served and when told after two bites, all the server came back and said, was I took $2.69 cents off the bill. He asked if we wanted a box The potato pancakes are really what we come back for, but it will be awhile. Perhaps they have a new chef.

I was stationed in Germany for many years and although I'm not a regular at Haus Murphy, I knew I could count on it when I craved a good schnitzel in AZ. Not sure what's changed lately, but I'm sad to share that the quality of the food is not the same. The last couple of times my wife and I went, the Jaeger Schnitzel was very dry and overcooked. The Black Forrest Torte (dessert) seemed not to be fresh. It was also dry. I would like to go back one more time, but not sure if the third time would be a charm or a trend.

In the historic section of Downtown Glendale, a block away from Murphy Park is Haus Murphy. Laid back and casual setting, diners here can enjoy a delicious, German meal; one of the best schnitzel I've tasted! Start off with the Bavarian Pretzel; the pretzel is incredible with the spicy mustard! Definitely order the Potato Pancakes! Crispy outside, delicious potato inside and serving it with sour cream and applesauce - amazing! If we didn't order dinner, our party would have ordered 2 more of these! I had the Jäger Schnitzel, so delish! More yummy potatoes and the red cabbage was tasty (don't knock it 'til you try it!)! Also, if you're not sure what biers to order, they offer a flight of 4 biers. Not sure which 4 to order, no problem, our server selected 4 for us and all tasted good. (Note: I'm not big on drinking beers, but this convinced me) Oh, and don't forget dessert! Can't go wrong with Strudels. But next time, I need to try the Black Forest Torte! Can't wait to come back here to dine again!

Went for my brothers birthday. Everyone was really friendly and the accordion players were there to brighten the mood. The pretzels were really good. The mushrooms were tasty, but not as savory as last time. Best sauerkraut I've ever had. Will come back.

Got the plate for 2, which comes with a little bit of everything. It was absolutely perfect, had me so full and we had a heavy box to take home for dinner. Such a homely vibe feels like you're sitting in some random German family's house. So damn wunderbar- I will be coming back for more.

This place is every comfy. The service is great and they are all very knowledgeable on the menu. I highly recommend the sauerkraut torte. It's perfect for chocolate lovers.

Haus Murphy's is my go-to spot for authentic German comfort food. The schnitzel is amazing, and the outdoor beer garden is perfect for enjoying Arizona's cooler evenings. Fantastic service too!

It has been a very long time since I have been to this place, partly because it is on the complete opposite end of the valley for me. I know people talk about the meat and sausages, which were definitely solid and very German in my opinion, based on what I have had at other German restaurants and from German butchers. So, I focused on the side dishes this time. I am also someone who enjoys good sauerkraut, and theirs is pretty good -- it is less face-puckeringly sour than some that I have had and had a mild flavor that I think makes it more accessible to people who are not accustomed to the bold style. The späetzle was pretty bland, and the German potato salad was OK, but, again, not as vinegary as I am accustomed to. I noticed a trend with the sides and it was toward the less sour to bland side in general. However, I really enjoyed their red cabbage (blaukraut) side dish. This one is traditionally sweeter and "spicier" than others. Theirs had a sweetness that really worked with the warm spices used in the dish. I remember traditional spices being cinnamon and cloves, but I think there was something else in there that expanded the flavor a bit more, and it definitely had more sugar, less vinegar than many. Service was good and the food came out rather quickly, but the place is showing its age. It is less "shiny and new" than I remember it. Still, the food is good if you don't like vinegar as much as I do and maybe focus on the sausages... and, for a treat, try their blaukraut.

Went here for the first time well reason why I am giving it 2 stars service sucked. For a Sunday this place was not packed what so ever got seated right away but the waiter did not approach us til 15 minutes later. She got our drink orders yes they came out quickly by somebody else then waited some more Ruffy 20 minutes until I had to wave her down and inform her we were ready to order. I won't be coming to this location. There food wasn't bad. I give it a 4 for what I got but the rest idk

Walking around and ran into this joint in Glendale. Absolutely awesome!! I had an Apple Streusel Margarita which was surprisingly delicious!! My lovely bride enjoyed a finely crafted Wine Spritzer... we forgot to grab pictures but we enjoyed the HUGE pretzel which tasted very fresh and soft!! Their homemade mustard was fantastic as well... we also enjoyed the Das Haus Bro, a stuffed bread covered in swiss cheese!! Absolutely amazing... Service was friendly and really enjoyed our visit!! Come check it out!! PROST!

Came here to meet family as we were visiting from the east coast, reviews were great so we were pretty excited. Arrived and sat outside for dinner and to watch the city lights. Waited 15 min, no server. Went inside to let them know we were outside and they said they were short staffed but will send someone out. Another 15 min goes by, 2 tables, one with a large party was sitting nearby, getting served. But here's the catch, the server would pass us to and from the inside and no mention of anyone helping. So after 35 min of waiting, 3 times we had to ask for help, we finally had to leave because it was evident, no one was going to serve us. Pretty sad, but we will not ever come back here

Came here for lunch with a friend of mine, we had decided to try it since we were there for an event that was being held outside. We came with a 5 year old and a 1 year old, they didn't have a high chair only booster seats, which was already a bad thing being that I had a baby/toddler with me who I'm used to being able to buckle her in her seat so she doesn't fall etc, I ended up having to hold her the entire time. We ordered our drinks, I asked for a water my son asked for a tea with no ice, he got a tea full of ice and I got a water with no ice... ok so it was starting on a bad path already. We then waited forever for the waiter to come back, finally able to order a pretzel, the pretzel came and again we had to wait forever for him to come and take our order, finally we get our order put in, the wait was forever and with hungry kids it seemed even longer. I ordered the Ruben, my son a chicken parm, and chicken nuggets for the baby. My friend had ordered I forgot what she said it was called but it was like a meatloaf sandwhich, her son chicken nuggets also. They brought her sandwhich and mine, followed by the parm another 5-10 mins we got the cranky hungry kids food. I didn't care for the potato salad, or my Ruben and I love Ruben's... it hardly had any meat at all... I ended up leaving all my food and so did my friend she didn't like hers either. We had to flag someone down just to get our check because we were never checked on again. Overall it was a terrible experience and I try not to leave my first impression on a place I try to give it another go if the experience wasn't so good, but I won't be back.

We decided to try this place because we're so far away from our favorite German place, Edelweiss. We came on a Wednesday around 4:30pm and were seated inside right away. They have a spacious outdoor seating area as well. Our server showed up right away asking if we wanted drinks. He came back with our drinks and asked about an appetizer. We ordered the pretzel. Didn't see our server again until he brought out the pretzel. We had to ask if we could order our entrees. My husband got the Jagerschnitzel. I got the Schweizer Schnitzel. Both came with German fried potatoes (good) and red cabbage (gross). The schnitzel breading was bland and weirdly enough the pork didn't seem to have a ton of flavor. I will say the bites where I could really taste the Swiss cheese in mind were pretty good. Mine was also greasy, which I did not like. Our server did not come back to refill drinks until my husband's had been empty for half of our meal. We also had to get our credit card out and hand it to our server without seeing our bill just to get out in a reasonable time. So overall, food was ok. Service was lackluster. Ambiance... there isn't much. I'd drive the extra distance to eat at Edelweiss next time.

Yikes! What happened to this place? We came in around 4:30pm on a Friday night and there was only one other couple dining in the restaurant. We were seated at a table inside and immediately noticed how dirty and unkempt the restaurant was. The ceiling fans were filled with dust, the floors were dirty, the curtains on the window at our table were filthy, there were holes on the table top, the walls were filthy and there were visible dust particles floating around. All of this, on top of the musty odor permeating the air, made me immediately lose my appetite. Nonetheless, we decided to order two drinks and the stuffed mushroom appetizer. The drinks took 15 minutes to arrive and the stuffed mushrooms were bland and didn't taste right, including the weird cream sauce they were floating in. We had intended on eating dinner but after seeing how dirty the restaurant was and how awful the appetizer tasted we decided to just get the check and eat elsewhere. We used to really love this restaurant but it's very obvious things have drastically gone down hill and the restaurant isn't being maintained the way it should be. I don't see ever coming back here Unfortunately.

Had dinner on Christmas Eve 2024 with my wife. Our server, Scott was a great guy and provided fantastic service. My wife had the Christmas Eve special which was German Goulash. It was super good and the meat was cut with a spoon tender. I had Jaeger Schnitzel which is always my go to favorite. We finished our meal splitting a cherry strudel. I think some of the negative reviews some people write are due to them expecting more from others than they do of themselves.

I'm not exactly sure what the day to day is like at Haus Murphy's but I can tell you this. I love this place I know it tends to be slow at times I think some servers are better than others and On a good day I could make a great kraut potato salad and schnitzel but I don't want to. I look forward to that Hot Brot and the guy playing accordion everytime and give him a few bucks for coming out every time. It's not perfect the parking sometimes is terrible but the beer is great and such a mood changer I can say this I will be a faithful patron until I cannot do it any longer.

Amazing food and portion sizes. Unique German flavors and ambiance. Every time I go here, I receive consistently good german dishes. Located in a cute downtown area in Glendale, AZ.

I just want to start off by saying that this food is authentic German cuisine. From the view of the restaurant on the outside, the Brezel (singular pretzel) were cool to see walking up to the door of the establishment. As we walked in the door, we immediately were being seated. We arrived with no reservation and during lunch. It seemed to be a bit busy as lunch time just came around. Once we were seated, I knew what I wanted to taste before the menu even came out. From someone that was born in Germany and spent two tours in Germany (5years total), I just wanted to get my fix for German food. We immediately ordered the currywurst with Pommes (French fries) for our appetizer. After ordering the appetizer, the waitress (whom was awesome and very tentative to us), ask if we wanted to put in our orders. We sure was ready. My Mom ordered the schnitzel sample platter (which had 3 schnitzel with three different types of sauce on top); One with White Wine Sauce, One with Paprika sauce, and one Jager (mushroom) sauce with side order of green beans and Pommes (French fries). My Dad ordered the Jager schnitzel with red cabbage and German potatoes. And I had the schweizer schnitzel (Tender Pork loin breaded with Swiss cheese and slices of Black Forest ham. Then Sauteed to a Golden Brown with a delicious cheesy center) with a side of red cabbage, Pommes, and spatzel. Spatzel was what I ordered all the time in Germany/Bavaria for side dish. Once we received our meals, we immediately were satisfied by the presentation! It has been so long seeing schnitzel that we took a minute to marvelous over the meal. Each cut was tender and very pleasing to all of our palates. Definitely a must if you are in the area of Glendale and need a spot to get German food. Really enjoyed our experience at this location and DEFINITELY going to be coming back for some German food again. Auf Wiedersehen!

My best friend is part German and she always tell me how this place remind her of being back home with her grandparents. So we met for lunch. I wanted to try a little bit of everything and for her it was nostalgia. I got the paprika schnitzel and it was so delicious. I don't know what sauce they put on top, but it was so yummy. The like red cabbage thing they give you actually isn't that bad, but it is sweet. We did order a few different appetizers which were just as delicious. And of course we got this sauerkraut torte which just taste like a chocolate cake with a different weird type texture that I don't hate. I love the decoration the music was nice. Our waitress was very kind. I want to say we were there probably about an hour. It did not take us very long to get our food. We were seated by right way. We did come Friday right about 12:30 PM so close to opening. I want to say we left about 2 PM and it was starting to get busy. It could definitely be a pricey place. But you are getting amazing portions. Honestly, I could've shared my plate. I even took it home and my son got to try German food and he enjoyed it.

Visited Phoenix for the weekend. Came here because my wife likes to visit places that have been on DDD. When we arrived we were immediately seated. We sat outside since the weather was so great. They have plenty of seating inside and outside. I ordered the jalapeño cheddar bratwurst. It was delicious. Got it with French fries. The fries were great too. My wife got the meal Guy game here for. She said it was really good. Would recommend to others.

Tia is horrible. Bad attitude....apparently the service was so slow because as Tia reports " there is no bartender". So that was her excuse for not bringing me my beer but ironically everyone else was getting their beers , slowly, but at least they got beers. Once we reminded her and she let us know that they did not have a bartender, she brought me wrong size. I'm pretty sure she just forgot. Admission of forgetting would have went a long way . Food was ok ...2 hours is a bit much .....especially when you are waiting for a beer. A couple next to us was having some issues and we overheard them ask for some sort of "compensation" which we also heard was denied .... this was a place we wanted to try....tried it....never again....
