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 have been to Murray’s 2 times in the last 2 years and we received service from Joey both times. He is truly an outstanding waiter- helping us select our meal, adjusting the oysters to our dietary needs, being kind and friendly. He has made us have great experiences and made us so comfortable. Thank you Joey!

    Murrays is a classic steakhouse, with a more elevated supper club feel in our opinion. You can confidently count on Murrays to have quality food, drink and service. The butterknife steak for two is a deal that's tough to pass up. The meat is always perfect, with just the right amount of salt and cooked to your liking. I'd suggest the French onion soup as your starter which is also always great with the perfect amount of salt and sweet onion and the cheese...oh the cheese! I also appreciate the liquor selection Murrays has; everything from high end to reasonable. I don't mean cheap, I mean reasonable. It is not common to find a 10 or 11 dollar Rye, Bourbon or other whiskey in downtown Minneapolis, but you can at Murrays. The wine by the glass is also reasonable. Finally, the service; it's top notch. You won't find snooty staff here like you might at some of the other steakhouses in town. You'll just find an entire staff invested in making your experience great and treating you like you want to be treated; valued.

    The only fine dining at top of our list-convenient to the main downtown, impeccable service, not a drop left on anyone's plate. And the consistency is outstanding!
