Murray's
Best Steakhouse in Minneapolis · MN
Home of the Silver Butter Knife Steak
Murray's has been downtown Minneapolis's classic steakhouse since 1946, a third-generation family room famous for its 'Silver Butter Knife Steak' — a garlic-buttered sirloin for two carved tableside — with warm garlic toast and raspberry pie to finish.
Pink-walled, white-tableclothed, and romantically old-fashioned, Murray's is the special-occasion institution generations of Minnesotans have marked anniversaries and graduations at for nearly eighty years.
