Surprising to Ffind that Murdock's establishment is not rated here, so I put an end to that.
Wonderful locals spot with good food-- metro southern fare-- and nice cocktails and a wonderful atmosphere. The place itself, is quaint, breezy with big swing out windows and a well-lighted interior. The bar and wait staff are eclectic-- what more to say? Stevie Davis and Pat Milikin have created a local's hangout that endures.
Food is good, but as they emphasize not fine dining. However, you can get a wonderful burger, or a Sloppy Murdock or some very nice salads. And the sides are fun: black eyed peas, mac & cheese and even turnip greens. Beer is cold.
But the patrons are the strong point. A friendly meeting place day or night. Entertainment on weekends.
I would give it an excellent review, but the very charm of the place is not to try to be too perfect. So there.
