J. Murphy's On Main

I never have visited the poughkeepsie location,but I enjoy taking the train to cold spring with my family for a day trip...we wanted some good hearty food and walked up to here from the station,about a 10 minute walk.The staff was super nice and chill atmosphere. The food portions are great and prices in my opinion, were good. The parm wings and artichoke dip was delicious and I ordered the pulled pork mac and cheese and the portion could easily feed 3 people,and the corn bread I got as a extra side was delicious as well.My husband got the prime rib dinner special and it was cooked to perfect and the meat was also delicious. I have no complaints at all. Our waitress was great and she kept drinks full and great to talk with. I HIGHLY recommend this place if you want a relaxing place with good food.will definitely be visiting again.

Really nice restaurant/bar We came to eat early dinner (or late lunch if you will) with 4 adults and a 10-momth-old. We all had a great meal. We tried both the onion soup and the clam chowder, both were delicious. For main dishes we got the paddy burger, fish and chips, and rib steak grilled cheese. The service and our waitress was amazing.

After a long looong hike we ended up at Murphy's for late lunch/dinner. Jeremy was amazing! Very friendly and attentive. He immediately set the tone for a great meal. There was a problem with my order but he made things right and kept me updated every step of the way. The food was also great! I had the Vegetarian French Dip which was delicious. I forget what my friends had but they all said they enjoyed their meals. It was a Sunday when we visited and there was an Irish band playing Irish music, which was really nice. We will definitely visit again when we are in town.

After a five hour hike, we had pre-planned to eat at Murphy's for lunch/dinner. To start off our meal, we ordered Artichoke dip and nachos, and it was truly so delicious. The portions are incredibly large even for a group of 5 people. It was my first time having artichoke dip and it definitely did not disappoint! However, the fries were overly salted and the burger was a bit lacking. The fish and chips with the tartar sauce was quite tasty though. I'd love to try more items on their menu when I'm back to hike! The staff are kind and energetic but we had to constantly ask for water, utensils, and other necessities.

We were looking for a place for dinner after going to the Stormville flea market and decided to look in Cold Spring, NY. We were seated right away and were promptly greeted by our server, Catalina. She was warm and welcoming and took our beverage orders. The bloody mary's we ordered were perfectly seasoned, but a bit too spicy for our tastes. So she brought us some tomato juice to dilute them a little. I ordered the fish and chips, substituting onion rings for the waffle fries. My wife ordered the fried artichoke salad and New England clam chowder. The kitchen was somewhat slow, since the restaurant was quite busy, but we weren't in a hurry and Catalina came over several times to apologize for the delay. I can honestly say that the fish and chips was the best I've ever had. The portion was large enough to serve two. Everything on the plate was freshly made. The fish was on a bed of arugula. The batter was crisp and savory. The side of cole slaw was creamy and delicious. Even the tartar sauce was homemade, with a hint of garlic in it. The fried artichoke salad was huge, again large enough to serve two. The arugula was as flavorful as any I've had. The artichoke was fried to perfection and the dressing was light and tasty. My wife said the soup was thick and delicious. One of the owners stopped by a couple of times to ask how we were enjoying our meal. He was friendly and added a nice personal touch. In all, it was a wonderful dining experience.

We had the most incredible lunch at J. Murphy’s on Main Street! We came in on Saturday during the snow storm. The atmosphere is exactly what you want when dining in Cold Spring—beautiful brick-lined walls, a great bar, and lighting that sets a perfect, cozy mood. The food was 10/10. We had the French onion soup, a French Dip, and a burger, and every single bite was delicious. We finished things off with the fried Oreos for dessert, and they were a total standout. The absolute highlight of our visit, however, was meeting the owner, Kostas. He was so incredibly welcoming, warm, and engaging. It’s rare to find that level of genuine hospitality, and he truly made us feel like valued guests rather than just another table. As former Bartender/servers ourselves, we were impressed! Between the amazing food and Kostas’s wonderful personality, J. Murphy’s is now a must-visit for us every time we are in town.

Stopped for dinner and had an amazing meal. Nachos were really good and big. Then we ordered the Murphy’s burger, French dip and short rib cheese (the best!!). Really friendly staff and service was quick. Definitely recommend it!

I had chicken quesadilla, which was enough for a person's stomach without any waste. I also had non-alcohol beverage, which was good enough. The staffs were friendly and helpful on the available options.
