As crazy as it sounds, there once was a time when ATL brunch had nothing to do with hookah or hot honey. Murphy’s, a modern American mainstay in Virginia-Highland, has been around for just that long. A restaurant that looks like your way-too-neat aunt’s house, Murphy’s brick-accented atrium is perfect for brunch, a business lunch, or a Saturday dinner where you’re trying to score meet-the-parents points. Ordering the flash-fried calamari for the table is a good start. But every order is worth it here, from evenly-seared Carolina trout to the Murphy’s Mule cocktail. Just end with the gooey Tollhouse Pie, which is a neighborhood legend on its own.
