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.

    Still the best steaks in town. Dennis provided excellent service. We were celebrating a birthday, and a complimentary dessert with a candle to blow out was provided.

    perfect special occasion experience. Anthony took care of us with exceptional service and recommended a perfect bottle of wine with our dinner. I am absolutely planning on returning to Murray’s the next time I am in Minneapolis.

    If you like top notch steaks & sides, great drinks, served by friendly knowledgeable waitstaff, in a comfortable ambience (not overly loud), go to Murray's. Great dining experience! I have been coming to Murray's since I was a kid. My memories are rekindled each time.

    I've been coming to Murrays for about 35 years, just once or twice a year (as we live in Illinois so only in Minneapolis rarely). It has consistently been outstanding in every area. I miss the live piano/violin, but otherwise it has maintained the quality of the experience very well. I just can't believe how good that Silver Butter Knife steak is. Wish I was able to eat here more often.
