Today, a third generation of Murrays continues the legacy.
Growing up our restaurant played a prominent part in all of our lives, from tagging along with dad on Saturday afternoons to the holiday celebrations hosted by our grandparents which included beloved Murray’s staff. Hearing stories of the nightly goings on is a spice in the life of a restaurant family. We each learned and labored in various roles over the years.
We are proud to carry on the tradition of Murray’s and operate with the same values that our grandparents and parents passed on to us.
As your hosts, we genuinely want your experience with us to be a wonderful and memorable one. We want you to feel special, and welcomed. We are so grateful to you for choosing Murray’s—and becoming a part of this history.
In appreciation,
Tim, Jill and James
What Started it All
While Marie tended to guests and the menu, Art solved service issues with innovative products of his own design. They quickly developed a reputation for the highest quality food and service.
Second generation owner, Pat Murray, shared his parents love of the hospitality industry and was a passionate promoter of Downtown Minneapolis and proud supporter and fan of all Minnesota sports teams.
The building the restaurant occupies is one of the oldest in the city, built in the 1880s. The Murray’s signs are now a downtown MPLS icon.
