Murphy’s Deli

Writing on this Murphy’s page, as it had the most reviews. I’m assuming they are all the same, but if not, I apologize.
Went to a Murphy’s in the tunnels downtown for breakfast. Microwaved eggs, microwaved sausage. $.50 for a slice of prepackaged cheese. No salt, no pepper. An embarrassing breakfast taco. Will never have their breakfast again, and likely won’t try their lunch.

Enjoyed eating here during my break. I’ve tried the tuna melt and also the meatball sub. I got the footlong both times and they are only $ 5. It tastes pretty much just like Subway except the bread is way bigger here and I was full with just half of the footlong. It’s extremely affordable and the guy who was working there handed us coupons for next time so we can get a free drink and chips. Will definitely be back!

A very nice and cozy place to eat on campus. Their footlongs are far bigger than subways and cost pretty much the same. They have burritos too which is unique in its own way. A very americanized burrito. Their best sandwiches are chicken-​sun dried tomatoes and the gyro pita. Muffaletta is good too. The olive salad is an excellent add on to most sandwiches. The only problem is very limited seating space which is why I’ve had to hop over to subway next doors at times.

Try the gyro! If you want a change in campus food I recommend coming here. I know that everyone likes to eat subway after the rec but murphy’s deli has some pretty good stuff too!

Don’t be fooled. I walked into Murphy’s Deli 3 times and walked out and into Subway because of it’s small location. Finally decided to give it a try. All I can say is I cannot believe how much I was missing out. On my first visit I tried the Chicken Salad Sandwich which was delicious. The next time I tried the Spicy Turkey Sub and was blowned away with the delicious taste. Basically all of your stuff here feels cooked here because their toasters are damn good unlike Subway which pretty much feels like uncooked subs. Also there is so much variety at this place, and best thing is that Murphy’s Deli is really good for people trying to loose weight because everything here is healthy. Because Subway next door took all of the room, the seating area at this place is small, but staff here is waaaay better and is really nice and can customize your order in anyway you like. So give it a try and I’m sure you won’t regret it. This will be my regular spot from now on.

They have burritos! And it’s next to the Den if you want to frat out after the meal or instead take a short walk across the street to the Rec Center to exercise — what else do you need to know?
This is a sensible «let’s do lunch» place if you are a student meeting a non-​student for lunch; or if meeting a fellow student it just always seems like a better idea than feasting on another sandwich at Subway for the fourth time this week. Inside Murphy’s the seating area is pretty small but every time I am in here I am able to have a serious conversation. If you want to bring your books and just study after your burrito-​related chow down you can also do that.
And if you are not a UH student but you are meeting someone for a meal here pay attention: Murphy’s is next to the Den and Subway in the little strip mall. McAlister’s is in the Welcome Center. They are not the same thing!

With so many sandwich places to on campus, why come here?
How does cheap and good sound? Located next to Subway, one would think Murphy’s Deli would suffer with Subway’s $ 5 foot longs. Unfortunately for Subway, Murphy’s Deli fought back with their own $ 5 foot longs. They have options such as turkey, roast beef, Italian and meat ball to just name a few.
You might be thinking so what, Subway has those too! What makes Murphy’s Deli different is the size of their foot longs. Yes, both places say foot longs but the bread at Murphy’s deli is larger. Subway uses that paper to wrap their sandwiches. Guess what Murphy’s deli uses?
A TRAY!
If you do not eat very much, you could very well fill two people $ 5. I usually finish foot longs at subway without a problem but even I had trouble finishing a foot long at Murphy’s Deli.
So give this place a try if you’re looking for a place to grab a bite or should I saw mini feast on campus.
O yea they open at 7am and they have breakfast!

This place is located in a strip next to the Campus Recreation & Wellness Center (CRWC) on the University of Houston campus. If you’re around campus on the weekend or during summertime, and you’re looking for something to eat when many of the university-​run restaurants are closed, this is a good place to go. Great for on-​campus residents.
This place is clean and new, and the staff seems very attentive and helpful. The dining area is small, as there are only about four or five tables max, but it’s not a big deal to me. Maybe when school picks up again, it might be more of an issue.
I don’t believe I’ve eaten at this chain prior to my visit here, but I’ll probably be a repeat visitor. I had a meatball sub sandwich, and it was pretty good. The bread was fresh and toasty. The cheese and meat were also good. Overall, not a bad visit.
