Murphy's

For Sunday brunch, Justin and I headed to Murphy's in Virginia Highland's. I love brunch and apparently all other Atlantans do, too. You are pretty much guaranteed a thirty minute wait at any brunch restaurant in the city on Sunday. The restaurant offered complimentary valet parking, but we opted to park on a nearby street and walk. I don't know why, but I just don't like valet parking. Maybe I'm cheap but I also don't like letting random people have access to my car. It's a personal thing. I'm also weird.

We waited (outside in the cold) for about thirty minutes before our table was ready. We could have waited inside with the other twenty or thirty people, but we weren't afraid to brave the cold. We also didn't want to be in the way like the twenty or thirty other people inside. We were seated on the outdoor patio, but the sides were covered and they had heaters inside there. It was very comfortable except for my left side that was near the outside "wall".

Our waiter was pretty attentive, but they were super busy, so we did have to wait a minute or two before we could get his attention a couple of times. After we placed our order, we were served a basket of baked goods. There were two muffins and a biscuit. They were all exceptional.

I enjoyed the crab cake sandwich with hashbrowns. The hashbrowns came with onions and peppers, which I probably could have done without, but they were good. The sandwich was delicious. Justin enjoyed the Eggs Virginia Highland. He said this was probably his favorite brunch that we've had in Atlanta. I'm still kind of partial to Ria's Bluebird, but Murphy's was very good. I definitely want to eat here again. They also serve lunch and dinner and those menus look yummy.
