    Shrimp yakamein
    Saphace A.

    The interior has the vibes of a swamp. Taxidermy animals and Spanish moss hanging from the ceiling. My friend and I had made a reservation. When we got in, it wasn't busy until later. Only two servers. They were attentive. We got drinks to start and an app: beer, martini, and duck nuggets. We also got complimentary popcorn. The nuggets came with two sauces, which were a bit salty. Still good flavors though. Moving onto entrees, we shared the curry crab rice and the shrimp yakamein. Portion sizes weren't bad. But the dishes were missing some kind of oomph. They could've been more flavorful and punchy. The star of the show was the dessert. The sticky toffee pudding was excellent! Not overly sweet. It was still hot when we got it. Truly something I'd come back for. Overall, it's more like a fusion restaurant. A lot of dishes had the flavorful profile you expect to find in creole cooking. Really interesting take!

    Chef Weeks never ceases to amaze. From intentional menu choices and combinations that you can't find elsewhere in Louisville to curating an interior vibe of 'home'; expect Murray's to serve joy in a plate with every bite and swish. With a rotating and seasonal menu, you never know what may be on the menu today! Brunch hits hard with a Louisiana flair and dinner may offer up Fish + Chips or Chef Weeks famous Tikka Masala. For someone (me) who is particular about ingredients and dishes ordered, I can expect to CHERISH a meal. Chefs Weeks has taken multiple fishes that I would never order, like Catfish, and made me fall in love. The elevation of a simple ingredient to make an ex catfish hater fall in love, reminds you of the days when you can fall in love with new beginnings - getting you out of your comfort zone. And so it goes, Chef Weeks menus have always challenged me to re-try ingredients I once thought weren't for my taste buds. Again, this can't be said enough that an exceptional Chef will know how to bring elements together to make you fall in love with food. Especially food you once hated! Go into the restaurant open-minded and expect top-notch service. Thank me later! If I was to die after a meal at Murray's, I could die happy, in knowing that an experience was had and a meal was SERVED!

    So the magic number to enjoy this chefs table dinner at Murray's is 4. If you hadn't already done this. 4 people 3 courses . Try 4 different appetizers, one entrees each and a dessert. Cozy English pub feel with creole food, sipping on very inventive craft cocktails. Chef Weeks takes the time to come out and chat with diners. 2hours passed so easily when the whole experience was so seamless.. I will let the pictures speak for themselves. Definitely telling friends about this place ! And they have everyday menu downstairs in their main floor.

    Popcorn Old Fashioned
    Kelly G.

    We chose Murray's Creole Pub to try something different tonight. We were seated promptly and Angelica, the host, brought us popcorn and drinks. Our server, Elizabeth, essentially ignored us all night after introducing herself to us. Angelica noticed this and continued to check in on us, submitted our order, and brought us our food. She made amazing recommendations all night, encouraging us to try new drinks, like the popcorn old fashioned, and even order a Gateau Breton for dessert! Angelica saved what could have been a poor experience by taking care of our table. We loved the experience and Angelica really made it very special for us. We were seated in the front window and we were able to enjoy the views of Bardstown Rd. while we ate as well.

    I just heard of this place opening up and they have a variety of creole food! I got the creole pasta and split the baked Mac and cheese. The pasta was really good with the seafood! I'll definitely come back here.

    Ham chop (pork chop) entree
    Arthur P.

    Our experience at Murray's was great. The staff was super warm and the vibes were great. Food was impeccable honestly! We started with the oysters and they were delicious! Then we hot the duck nuggets and the scotch eggs both also super tasty! On to the entrees we got 4 to share with our table. And a few sides as well. The the entrees were he Sole, the Scallops, the Ham Chop (pork chop) and the Short Rib. The sauce for the Sole was pretty salty and the Scallops for the price I feel like it should've come with more than two but the flavors were delicious. The Pork Chop and Short Rib were definitely stars. Super tasty and flavorful, the short rib was so perfectly tender and the pork chop was seasoned and grilled to perfection. The cabbage side was good but just a touch too much vinegar for my taste, the mac & cheese was great and the fries with the curry ketchup as well! Drinks were pretty good too we got old fashioned and a dirty martini which my wife enjoyed. All in all it was a great meal for NYE and we will be back!

    Burger and Fries

    Hands down the best Pub in Louisville!! The staff was attentive and focused on making the customer experience great. The ambiance gave true Louisiana vibes - cozy and inviting. We started with a bourbon flight (and was surprised it included Blanton) and a Louisiana Lemon Martini - both were delicious. Our first appetizer request of Oysters was denied because they were sold out. . But the chef made our dinner even better by providing a nice medley of caviar which was delicious. The Duck Nuggets, the Catfish Plate, the Burger and the gumbo were all included in our dinner choices. Everything was amazing. The catfish was light and fluffy not to mention the amazing side of parm fries. The seasoning on the Duck Nugget's had the perfect amount of spice. The burger was cooked to perfection. Last but not least-the Gumbo the most flavorful dish on the menu. If you like spice - this is the dish for you. We will definitely be back!!

    Scallops and peas
    Keli T.

    This was just an okay experience for me. The good: We ordered the gumbo and it was flavorful. The service was good as well. The not so good: I ordered the $30 scallops because I saw an Instagram post from their site that showed 3 sizeable scallops for that price. I ordered it and it came out with only 2 scallops which I thought was a bit egregious for the price and size of the scallops received. The menu is small without a ton of options to choose from. Overall: I don't think I'll return. The mix of cuisine is interesting and not something I think blends well. The price for what you get is also not great.

    House Gin and Tonic
    William S.

    Let me start by saying I've always been a fan of Chef Lawrence Weeks. I've followed him through North of Bourbon and Enso and had high hopes. We were Greeted warmly upon entering into a nice homey place. Our waitress was helpful and nice. We both got their House Gin and Tonic and it was tasty. We order a cup of their Potato Soup and it was delicious. Then we both made the mistake of ordering their "Signature Pub Burger " with parmigiana fries. To say that was a letdown would be kind. Maybe it's because it was their first weekday sitting and we need to wait a few months to let them work out the kinks. I don't know, but it wasn't good. I've had SmashBurgers that were good but this was a charcoal wafer. Because I like Chef Weeks I will be back, but guarantee I won't get the burger.

    Sticky Toffee Pudding
    Brevin W.

    One word: DECADENT! Now for some more detailed words : This was a fantastic meal. We came in for a Smothered Catfish special, but unfortunately it was sold out. We were initially disappointed but that sadness didn't last very long. We ordered a plethora of things to try and share. My favorite bites were the buttered cabbage. Now I know what you're thinking... cabbage... really? But seriously, I have NEVER had cabbage like this. My only gripe is I wish there was more in the serving, but then again, one bite would be worth $10 in my book. After the cabbage, I loved the fish that comes with the fish and chips. It was soft, flaky, flavorful, and the house made tartar sauce complimented it very well. The Tikka Masala... no notes, just get it, trust me! The duck nuggets... juicy and tasty. The soup... I loved the contrast of texture with the sausage and croutons, and the flavor was subtle but rich. The parmesan fries and that curry ketchup... uhh, yes please! The salt beef po boy... good, but would love an au jus to dip. After all that, we were stuffed but we decided to try the sticky toffee pudding and I'm glad we did. Sweet, gooey, soft goodness in a bowl! Love it! Service was excellent and attentive to our needs. The ambiance was cute, quiet, and quaint! I'll be back! *chefs kiss*

    Where do I start? First of all you walk in the door to a very neat, clean and rustic feeling restaurant. The staff immediately greets you with smiles and wonderful attitudes. The ambiance is a chill vibe. Now to the star of the show...the food! I came for lunch with my brothers. We decided to order two different starters, three main dishes and sides to share. It's too close to say what I like the best! I'd say it was a tie between the Chicken Tikka Masala and the Fish & Chips! When I say as soon as the room hits your mouth with the Tikka Masala and explosion glacier smacks you in the face! The fish light, flaky, juicy and beyond flavorful! The fries were great but that curry ketchup stolen the show! The Salt Beef Po-Boy had the softest bread pull ever find, the salt beef was tender and the mustard added a beautiful tangy element! Overall I have to say RUN don't walk to this restaurant..you will not be disappointed!

    Chicken & Salad lunch special
    Gracie R.

    We love Murray's! This spot has become a staple in our house. Don't know what you wanna eat? Well Murray's has options. Need a quick but delicious lunch spot. Murray's is open. Want a cute date night spot? Let's go to Murray's!! Haven't had a bad experience here. Service is great and the servers are friendly. Do yourself a favor and go here for your next dinner

    Raw Fish
    Dave W.

    Atrocious - It saddens me to see what America has done with itself since liberating itself from England, but Murray has managed single handedly to destroy the great British Fish and Chips in a single offering - Hake? Yes hake - not thoroughly cooked and cheaper than Cod and Haddock at $30 encased in a batter that was at best soggy accompanied by the worst most anemic and hard (not cooked) but wait - triple cooked (maybe turn the stove on next time) chip! did I mention for $30 - or you could have a burger on a store bought and very unappetizing bun with also mediocre and limp "fries" and for the love of god - Mushy peas are not smashed garden peas you muppet. And the eyewateringly expensive "steak and chips" at $80 was the funniest insult. please dont let mediocre crap like this win in Louisville!

There are also picnic tables out front. You get a faint whiff of the grill/smoker upon entering. Kylie was our bartender and she was fabulous - knowledgeable, friendly, and answered all of our questions with patience. Wife ordered a mango margarita and doesn't like a lot of tequila, so Kylie went half and gave her a shot on the side in case she wanted to add more. It was wonderful. I had a couple of beers. We started with the fried mushrooms, which aren't what you would expect. It's two large portobellos cut into chunks, battered, fried, and served with sun-dried tomato mayo. They were great. I then ordered a duck taco, brisket taco, and a side of Grippo Fries with smoked mayo. I'd never tried duck but that taco was smack-a-lackin'. The brisket taco was also good, and the fries were fantastic - sweet and spicy, fresh cut, and crispy. Wife ordered a pork belly slider and truffle fries. She enjoyed the slider but didn't care for the fries - just not her thing. The portions here are large. A side of fries will feed three people. We took a hefty portion of them home, as well as some of the mushrooms. We could've sat there at the bar and spent 3 hours socializing and enjoying a smattering of cocktails - love the setting. Look forward to going back and trying one of the burgers at some point.

The smoked whitefish pate is outstanding and always a great starter. The look and feel of Monnik always reminds me of a cottage in the mountains and after spending time inside it's so easy to get lost and forget where you're at. As for the service it's always top notch and helpful. I've spent countless hours at the bar asking about different styles of beer and what makes them special. The best part about it is it never feels judgmental or pretentious just good service done the right way. Hats off to you all. Cheers.
