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 perhaps the best I’ve ever had. Food was amazing. Abby was the best server and our steaks were perfectly as advertised and cooked as ordered. Will come back!

    Murray's was able to accomodate us even though we were an hour late on a Friday due to travel issues. The hash browns and Poblano Creamed corn are out of this world - obviously the steaks were amazing. The service was outstanding!

    Everything was great except some of the food. Two of us ordered the ribeye and it was tough and not appetizing.
