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.

Fantastic food and wonderful staff. A great romantic spot to venture to. We started here and had a concert in downtown afterward. The staff was entertaining and very attentive.

My wife & I went there for our anniversary. We hadn't been there in a few years & what a difference. Before, the dining area was kind of dated with pink tablecloths & napkins. There were mostly tables spread throughout the restaurant and just kind of seemed to feel tired...classic, but tired. This time when we walked in, we were... More

Everything was 'bad'. Used to be a great restaurant. Have no idea what happened. Even their famous steaks were not cooked right. Orded rare and got medium well. Inexcusable. The wedge salad was not edible. On and on.

My second time here. Great chateaubriand, filet steak, seasonal Brussels sprouts. Best cole slaw as always. The usual great bread and fantastic creamy spinach. Tried the white chocolate blueberry bread pudding and it was great, but the highlight of the day...? Well they have an off- the-menu dessert called Cherries Jubilee. They cook this dessert table side: add about a... More
