About this restaurant

Good for business meals
Great for creative cocktails
Great for outdoor dining

Welcome to Murphy's Taproom & Carriage House, in Bedford, New Hampshire. You're invited to try the creative cuisine of Executive Chef Todd Lytle and his team, from Lamb Osso Buco to Waygu Shepherd's Pie. Our Bistro Filet is a local favorite. All of our ingredients are brought in fresh, and many are sourced from local farms. Even the honey for our Hot Honey Salmon comes from a beekeeper in nearby Derry. Besides our large outdoor patio, our restaurant features several private dining rooms for your special occasions, as well as our 300-seat Carriage House. We have 32 craft beers on draft, a wide selection of bourbons and scotches, and a seasonally-rotating cocktail menu. Thank you for reserving your table at our locally-owned, family-operated restaurant and function facility.

I will preface this with I went for a brunch buffet service. My rating is solely based on that, and my hope is that the restaurant’s quality, flavor and value is much higher for regular service. Their earliest slot was 1:45 (but running until 4PM) so I booked three days prior. The owner was hospitable both when inquiring and at arrival, however the young woman who brought us to our table was a bit apprehensive and said “you can just sit here if you want”. Much less welcoming. I made a reservation, so not knowing where she should seat us was a red flag. There were a small handful of parties spaced well out between us. Again, weird because we had to make a reservation. Our waiter was a gentleman, from filling our water glasses to checking in throughout our meal. He was very polite and I hope he gets all the praise. There was no champagne or prosecco. For a Mother’s Day buffet, you had run out of the key ingredient for the most popular alcoholic brunch drink? Another red flag. The buffet was located in the carriage house, which is fine, but walking through three dining/bar areas just to get food was bizarre. We walked into the buffet to multiple empty tables with linens. It seemed like this was where reservations were housed. Now the food. There were two salad offerings; one a mandarin arugula salad with dressing on the side, the other an over-dressed “lemon charred” Caesar salad. The further was untouched while the latter a soggy, sparse mess. Each station got a little more disappointing, either cold or not refilled, utensils filthy and caked with the remnants of previous use. I don’t expect fresh utensils each guest, thats impossible. But an hourly change limits the spread of bacteria and cross contamination and these were sitting for hours at best. None of the offerings were refilled on any of our visits up, each going up at least twice. $60 a head for a bare bones buffet was upsetting, unfulfilling and uninspiring.

Mothers Day Brunch Buffet - chocolate fountain had very little fruit, and other dipping foods available at 1:00. They did not restock anytime after that. No pasta dishes. Food was ok, but not a lot of selections. Omelet was made fresh and was good. Server forgot my drink, brought the other 4 people drinks one at a time. 3 non alcoholic and two mixed cocktails. 20% gratuity automatically included on a Buffet! $60 per person was way overpriced.

The Mother’s Day Brunch was outstanding. Everybody was able to get their favorite foods and the food was prepared really well. My favorite was the prime rib with au jus, but my daughter was thrilled with the donut bar. Even the bacon was great. Other than the brunch, Murphy’s has a great menu that changes often enough to keep things interesting. However, they’ve always featured a Rueben sandwich, which is just to die for. Definitely worth the calories!

First time there. Had been on our list of places to try for a long time. Sat on the patio. It was Friday night so there was live music. You are also right on the road so it is quite loud. Service was friendly but very slow. 20 mins to put in drink order and 45 for food. Food was average. I would stick with the apps and go somewhere else for dinner.

I had the rib special which was gigantic! Apple slaw was decent. However the ribs were dry and overcooked. The others in my group had steak which was not cooked to their liking and came out rare. When shared with the waitress, she said she’d let the kitchen know. Nothing else, nothing comped. There’s a reason why you can get in last minute on a weekend night. We all agreed we would not be returning.

We dined for my 50th birthday with my family. Our server was so inexperienced that it took away for the relaxed enjoyment that a birthday should be. Didn’t clear the dishes from the meal before delivering desserts to share. Nowhere to put them. No sharing plates. We had to just pass them around and take bites with our leftover dinner forks.
