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 59 years ago.

I tried the Silver butter knife here and it was simply delicious. the service was very good, the gave us always something to eat while we were wating for the steak. The atmosphere was really good and romantic, a quiet place to stay and have very good dinner.

Murray's is the best steak house hands down in Minneapolis. Great service and the food as always was superb. Forget the chains and corporate owned places, opt for this family owned and run restaurant. I was worried after the recent renovations but if anything it is better. The staff are friendly even if your not in a suit and just... More

My wife and I had a spur of the moment date night and decided to go to Murrays. We've long considered it one of the finest places to have a steak and great service for years. But, we've not been to the place since they did an entire upgrade of the interior. Not only did they score big on how... More

Old school, family-run chop house. Vey much enjoyed my visit. Was pleased with the appetizers Hickory shrimp, BBQ meatballs, crab cakes. I'd skip the calamari, though, as they were tough. I shared the house specialty - the silver butter knife steak - with a friend. It was cooked perfectly and seasoned well. Waiter was attentive and friendly, but not very... More

We had a wonderful, relaxed meal at Murray's. Our steaks were just wonderful -- the guys ordered tenderloins and they were gorgeous. Even my sirloin steak was juicy and thick and one of the best I've had!

After visiting Murray's, I am now on a personal mission to recreate the potatoes au gratin. Wow! The food, staff and atmosphere was wonderful. We will visit again.

It was ok i went there a few years ago for Father's day. I didnt like the lighting because i feel that restaurants with dim lightening makes me believe they're concealing something. The food was average. My husband loved it.

Excellent steak every time. We enjoy visiting Murray's and always have the butter knife steak! could not be happier with the service and the newly remodeled atmosphere is very relaxing. Order a nice bottle of wine and sit back and relax.
