Little has changed since the legendary steaks first sizzled here in 1946, and everyone's grateful for that.

In every city there is one great restaurant that reflects its history and character. In Minneapolis, it?s Murray?s. Since 1946, Murray?s has always presented a menu with exceptional choices in every area, but it is our focus on beef that has received the greatest accolades. Using only the finest aged beef, our famed Silver Butter Knife Steak for two (28 oz. Strip Sirloin), has become a tradition for locals and made Murray?s a destination for those traveling through the city. In addition, our in-house bakery treats guests to fresh baked bread and desserts, and our award winning wine list offers…

In Short – Droves of businessmen, wearing button-downs and golf shirts, are drawn to the Old-World charm of the place: meat-and-potato favorites, rose-colored napkins and the legendary waitstaff. The famous "silver butter knife steak" for two--a double New York sirloin steak--is worth its hefty price. The tender pork chop with apple horseradish sauce is a winner. For dessert, order the enchanting espresso creme brulee.

Place for our anniversary

by dinner out

My husband and I have been going here for the last 4 years for our wedding anniversary...This last time we were a little dissapointed in our service and food! We ordered the huge appetizer and it was a little burnt....My steak wasn't that hot and it was too salty. Our server wasn't as friendly as she has been in the past! At these prices, I found too many problems! This year we decided to try Jax instead and compare the two. To be continued....

  • Pros: Great garlic toast
  • Cons: Too Salty

Just okay.

by martiniblonde

We ordered the "silver butter knife steak" for two and were grossly disappointed. Our server brought it out, and as she was carving it at the table, she had the sniffles. Nothing worse than wanting to enjoy a great steak when all you can think about is your server sniffling over your food. The decor is outdated. Although some people don't like the ultra-tendy restaurants, or change, but this place was just outdated and could use a good remodel. Nothing special about this place makes us want to come back. Can get a better steak at Pittsburgh Blue, among other steakhouses.

Pricey, but lives up to its billing so you should know what you're getting

by PaulinMpls

Murray's is an enjoyable way to experience an old-style steakhouse in Minneapolis. It lives up to its billing and doesn't have pretense to being anything beyond that, so if visit the website and read about it you should know what to expect. For my pre-Orpheum Theatre dinner on a weeknight it fit our expectations well.

The service was excellent and the food was served promptly. The trademark Silverbutter Knife steaks are very large so my companion and I opted for the 8 oz Dinner Steaks instead. The steaks were prepared as ordered and delicious. I am not a frequent steak eater, but enjoy well prepared quality steak and got it here. The au gratin potatoes were quite good. I choose the tossed salad which was nothing special, but my companion got a beet salad, which was good and more distinctive. The dining room was not busy early on a Thursday night, but it seemed quite roomy so it could accomodate being filled.

The main shortcoming I have seen mentioned in reviews here is that Murray's is overpriced. It definitely is expensive. Our dinner of two steak entrees, two glasses of wine, a glass of beer, no appetizers or dessert came to $92, before tip. It is not a daring or innovative restaurant and I could see that some would call it overpriced for what you get. I believe it is in the same price range as other more modern or trendy premier steakhouses such as Morton's or Manny's.

  • Pros: Excellent service
  • Cons: Pricey, limited options for steak

The Details on Murray's

When to Go:

Come on a Thursday, Friday or Saturday night when musicians serenade the packed house with piano and violin.

Save Money:

You know what they say during a recession: "Let them eat steak." Ok, not really. But that's why Murray's has recently unveiled an early-bird super-saver three-course steak dinner that includes an appetizer, entree (top sirloin or grilled tuna) and dessert for $19.95. The only catch? It runs Monday through Friday from 4:30pm-6pm.
