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.

    We absolutely love Murray’s for the service, the atmosphere and of course the food. The steaks are fantastic, but so is everything else on the menu. The tuna salad on the lunch menu is one of the best I’ve ever had.

    As always Murrays delivers a fantastic meal with top notch service. I would like to see a no ball cap dress code. I know $# #$+) over our parents traditions is a thing but watching drunk morons knawing on steak bones with their hats on backwards is a bit much.
