Murphy might be small, but its breakfast game punches way above its weight. You’ve got honey-dripping kolaches that taste like they were made by someone’s abuela and a coffee shop where a triple shot comes with almond milk that genuinely transforms the latte.

The range here stretches from a diner where the staff remembers your name to a backyard spot slinging brisket sandwiches with real smoke flavor. I’ve watched grown adults argue over who gets the last feta fry at Little Greek, so trust me, the stakes are real.

(Also, someone please explain the cookie butter crêpe at Dessert Avenue; I’m still not over it.) Breakfast in Murphy is a full commitment, and these spots are ready for you.

Foxiis Restaurant and Bar

Highlights
Patty melt perfection
Birthday-worthy celebration spot
Sports-viewing with great TVs
Cute decor, clean restrooms
Chicken and waffles flop

Foxiis Restaurant and Bar is a curious mix, and I have to be honest about that. On one hand, the patty melt is perfection, all buttery bread and melty cheese with a solid beef patty. The decor is cute, restrooms are clean, and it's clearly a birthday-worthy spot with great TVs for sports. But the chicken and waffles? A flop, sad and underwhelming. It's a place of highs and lows. Still, that patty melt alone might bring me back. Just skip the waffles and stick to the savory side. You'll have a better time for it.
