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.

    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.

    Outstanding experience ! By far the best steak in the Metro area. I can understand why it has the exceptional reputation it has.

    Loved the steak, but honestly, it was more the servers that made the night for me. Very good at their job, yet a great balance of personable and professional. Food: 8/10 Got the silver butter knife steak. Some parts were 15/10. Others were a bit too salty for me. Cooked VERY WELL. And dang, those 15/10 bites were to die for. Servers: 12/10. They really go above and beyond in service. Having good short conversations, being warm, and being great servers. Atmosphere: 8 but made 10 by the staff. I had never been there, and it was my first time getting a higher end dinner like that. So I felt a little out of my comfort zone, yet the staff did a great job at making me and my girlfriend feel welcomed. Overall, I loved it and will go back someday. :)

    Our food was delicious from the rolls, soup/salad, au gratin potatoes to the main course.... butter knife steak for two! Dylan was our server extraordinaire. He answered all of our questions and was very responsive during the whole meal. First time for us and yes, we will be back!!
