Welcome to Murray's Restaurant. Minneapolis' original restaurant for steak since 1946 & home of the award winning Silver Butterknife Steak dinner for two. Also known for mouth watering garlic toast, Hickory Smoked shrimp appetizer, and home baked pies. Well into its third generation of family ownership, Murray's stands out among local and out of town diners alike as a true Twin Cities landmark & continues to provide the best in food and service as it did in 1946.

    Service was lacking. Scallops tasted like ammonia so they removed from the bill. Fellow guests’ steaks were great so rated higher than I would have otherwise.

    Murrays for Steaks is still the favorite among locals-You're assured you will enjoy a sensational meal as will your guests when no one needs to look at the menu because they have their favorites and have looked forward to meeting at Murrays. And while all the entrees are filling, no one can turn down their signature dessert, the fresh raspberry and chocolate pie. Always exceptional food and the most gracious hosts.

    I went out for my Birthday with my wife , we were greeted right away walking in but then we had trouble from there our waitress seem she had trouble giving us good service we had too ask for beverages 3 different times we ordered there rib eye med the steak came out it was less then half a inch thick with no marbling and it was chewing with the grill marks hardly marked anything on the streak it was sad with how expensive the food is . I did call the next day the manager apologized about the whole situation on my celebration she sent me a gift card and said she will comp my dinner still waiting for it , overall I will wait for a while too eat dinner there , there are many other steakhouses out there .

    It was our second time dining with you, and it was just as wonderful the second time. The food was excellent. Our server met all our expectations and did a stellar job. We love the ambiance.

    Liked the older decor, I feel like the more modern look has made things noisy. But the food and service are still fantastic.
