Went around 9:00 on Valentine's Day. We waited online for a couple of hours, but the wait was well worth it. The menu at Murry's has anything you could need, and the music was fantastic. The laid-back yet still fancy ambience of this tucked away Columbia gem needs to be experienced in order to be properly understood. read more

This place has got it going on! Live piano with a laid back feel makes this place feel like something special. However, the double pork burger was a little bit of a let down. Everything here is a la carte and my burger was just a little plain tasting. The fries were great! Service was good but once again nothing that would stand out. Would come back to give another dish a try but this first visit was a bust :( read more

What a fun spot! They have live Jazz almost every night. Great food and wonderful wine and cocktails. They also have a great lunch for bringing friends or co workers. Don't forget to stop for lunch read more

Everything about Murry's is top notch! The food, service and the ambiance. The wait staff are always very kind and professional. Out of all of Columbia this is my favorite place to eat. read more

Tuesday night at 8:30. Place was packed. Reviews seem to indicate this is THE place to eat in Columbia. Phew. It says "cozy". Cram packed is more like it. Live jazz. Nope. A piano player you could barely hear over the noise. The wait was 30 minutes. No big deal. The "waitress" in the holding pen asked us if we wanted something to drink. Each ordered a beer. $8.09. Gave her $20.25. She gave me a $10 back. That was presumptuous; she cashed us out before our table was ready. Weird. We were seated by the kitchen and bathrooms. We ordered the oysters (phenomenal!), frog legs (excellent), blue corn chip bread (garlic bread with shrimp--just meh), dinner salad with creamy peppercorn (fresh and delightful) and the southwest chicken soup (brothy and excellent with a lot of big pieces of moist chicken breast; great depth of flavor). It was plenty for us as I don't eat much. The service in the dining room was EXCELLENT! She answered questions. She was prompt with food and helped with extra napkins. We would go back for the oysters and crab legs and even the salad! The rest you can keep. Prices are very low and well worth it! We couldn't hear each other talk, let alone even think. Probably won't return. read more

Murray's! A local hotspot! Fine dining in a relaxed and casual atmosphere. The chef will generally make an appearance to verify that his food is amazing, and the waitresses/waiters are top notch. For the quality of this amazing food, you'd think you'd be spending $100 a dish.... This place is that good! You will have to try it! And wear blue jeans and a t shirt, or wear a suit/cocktail dress. You'll fit in regardless! read more

One of my favorite places to visit when in Columbia food is amazing. Fried green peppers with powdered sugar an amazing delightful simple appetizer. Friendly wait staff romantic atmosphere music both piped in and live depending on the time of day but always beautiful jazz. Love this place! read more

I really hate posting things like this, but I hope the owner sees it and takes it seriously. My family has been going to Murry's for 35 years and until now, we've never had a bad experience. We arrived at 6:30 and were told it would be an hour to an hour and a half wait, which was fine. After about 30 minutes, we found open seats at the bar and decided to eat there instead of waiting longer. That's when the issues started. We were served after people who sat down after us, waited 35 minutes for a simple appetizer (onion rings and cheese bread), and were ignored when we asked about it. The bartender, Madison, was especially rude. She served people on both sides of us but ignored our empty drinks. It took nearly another 30 minutes for our main dishes, while others who arrived later were served and finished their meals. Throughout this, Madison was dismissive, and Sara, our server, barely acknowledged us until I said something. Even then, basic service like refilling drinks or pouring the wine we purchased was neglected. To top it off, this was my dad's 73rd birthday -- not the night we expected from a place we've loved for decades. Sara apologized and said they'd comp the meal, but I left $150 in cash anyway, not wanting a free meal. Still, I never even got a bill or total. This experience was very disappointing. The quality and service at Murry's has clearly declined. I hope the management addresses these issues, especially with staff like Madison and Sara, because this isn't the Murry's we've known for 35 years. read more

My daughter and I are driving from Florida to the Pacific Northwest and decided to end the day's travels in Colombia, MO. Neither of us have been here before, so looked online for dining suggestions before heading to our hotel for the night. Murrys popped up and looked promising, so we made our way there. I am going to say that everything about this dining experience was five stars. It could not have been a more stellar meal. From the moment we were seated, everything was perfect. The staff is top notch, the pianist was excellent and our server went beyond, as I am willing to bet she does for all the restaurant's customers. Thank you Hanna. You turned a fantastic dining experience into the perfect evening for my daughter and I. We started with cocktails, made to perfection by the bar staff. At Hanna's recommendation, we first had the fried bell peppers. She let know these were a house favorite, and I can see why. While the powdered sugar seemed out of place, it really made the dish pop! Along with the delicious cheesy garlic bread, the appetizers were awesome. We then split a garlic salad, which I would most certainly order again. The food was delivered perfectly, allowing us to savor each course. For the entree, we split a perfectly cooked New York strip, medium rare, and the house mashed potatoes. Kudos to the chef for the mouth-watering steak. Every bite was flavorful and satisfying. For a side, we got the mashed potatoes, which were velvety, buttery and absolutely melt-in-your mouth delicious. Idaho should give the chef a culinary award! Finally, we decided to get the hazelnut cheesecake to go, since neither of us had room for dessert after this scrumptious meal. But, let's be honest, there's always room for at least a taste of dessert. And what a taste it was. The final course was as flavorful and as perfect as the rest of the meal. I don't know if I will ever have the opportunity to return to Columbus. I couldn't be more grateful that our travels brought us to Murrys. I will always remember this as one of the finest dinners I have had, and I anxiously wait for an excuse to return to Murrys. read more

WOW. this is definitely the best restaurant in Columbia. The wine was amazing. My mom who doesn't drink got three glasses. It was so good. The garlic bread was delicious. The French dip was delicious. The steak was amazing amazing quality. The mashed potatoes were also amazing and the chocolate chip cake had a lot of chocolate chips, but it was delicious. They had amazing service. I will be coming back and I cannot wait. The prices are also very reasonable. read more

A family favorite for decades , there's no better place in Columbia to gather & enjoy from a selection of well-executed classics. The ambiance is my ideal: dimly lit, oak furniture and string lights adding subtle warmth. It's comfortable and classy and worn in; Murry's invites you to nestle in stay awhile. Try anything at all on the menu & I'm sure you'll be pleased, but be sure to start with a dinner salad with creamy peppercorn dressing. It's brought up regularly in conversation between my mom and I, we love it so much. read more

after a late night, not many things were open aside from fast food, but Murrys was! me and my friends entered Murrys around 10 pm, and there was no wait, despite it being a relatively full house. the ambiance was absolutely gorgeous. candlelit, but casual, a live band playing in the background, and bountiful amounts of laughter. there's no pressure to dress up, but it's still amazing. their menu is relatively cheap, but their portions are HUGE!!! 8 dollars for a burger the size of my head! only pricey thing is their steak, and appetizers. the food was homey, and easy to customize. the workers were absolute dolls. i will 100% be a regular! read more

Very nice spot. Lighting and overall ambiance of the restaurant is quite spectacular. Food is pretty solid but very worth the price. Dinner for 2 with 2 rounds of drinks only took $50 out of the pocket. Highly recommend. read more

We love the food here. It is always delicious. We have tried just about everything on the menu with no complaints. Everything is à la carte. With that being said you should step out of your comfort zone and order the Fried Green Pepper Rings as an appetizer. The service has always been tip top. The inside is cozy and has a jazz music theme. It is a popular spot so be prepared there may be a wait, but it's worth it:) read more

This is definitely a place to try. The food is spectacular. The wait staff are remarkable. Wrap all this up with live piano bar and you have a wonderful evening! I have been twice. I greatly enjoyed my selections each time. read more

The food was spectacular, the company was even better. Our bartender, Danielle was top notch.

Every year me and my wife take a two week road trip. This year we drove from Las Vegas to Pigeon Forge, TN. We encounter many places we ate out during our trip. Murry's in Columbia, Missouri is no exception. This place had the best grilled ham and cheese sandwich I've ever had in my entire life. There is not enough words that can describe just how great that ham and cheese sandwich was. My wife had the linguine and she said that was incredibly good. The atmosphere is nice and the staff is even better. read more

My husband and I usually go on special dates like anniversary or birthdays. We went for our 24 th anniversary and my pasta taste like water, his steak was dry. Appetizers weren't done read more

Great service; very friendly staff. Great food - took all recommendations from our server and loved everything! Fried peppers are a MUST!!

Everyone in Columbia is raving about how amazing this place is. I had high expectations for it. Finally decided to give it a try. The wait for a table was 45mins. The ambiance is dark and outdated. The food is okay, they had many options to pick from. The staff is very friendly and attentive. Maybe will come back on a night the band is playing. read more

I have loved Murray's since I went to Mizzou 5 years ago. Every time I am in Columbia, I make an effort to go here, but it is always so busy on the weekends. So when I found myself in Columbia on a Wednesday evening, I jumped at the chance. Exactly the same as I remembered, service was amazing, food was amazing. I got the chicken poblano with a side of mashed potatoes (my personal favorite). My cousin who I was with this evening, got a French dip sandwich and he also said it was amazing. To top it all off, the vibe was so great with the live jazz music and lively atmosphere. Can't wait to come back! read more

Murrys - Chicken Poblano - American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Our server was wonderful in helping us choose our meals. We each chose the bone-in pork chop. At our servers recommendation we split an order of onion rings for an appetizer. These were thin cut and very good. We also split a dinner salad and an order of mashed potatoes. Murray's is known for their mashed potatoes and they lived up to their reputation. After splitting the side dishes the cost of our dinner was very reasonable. This place is well worth going to. read more

I had the Calamari and Frog Leg appetizers. Although I did not like the frog legs, if you enjoy things like that then I would definitely recommend. They were seasoned and cooked well. As for the calamari, it was a good price for how much came on the plate. It also tasted great. read more

Murrys - Bell pepper rings are the BEST - American Near Me - Columbia, Missouri

Came in with a work group of 10 for drinks, appetizers and desserts. Seating was odd with a square and round table pushed together but it seemed to work in the corner as we had one no show. Very dark inside and seems dated. The service was great! Very attentive and got all our orders correct! The food was tasty and hot (if necessary) to taste. We basically ordered all the appetizers and attempted to try all the listed desserts. Mushrooms, wings, frog legs and Bobs Bobs were winners! All plates were cleaned and although our bellies were full, we did have room for dessert. Large decadent portions and glossy eyes followed. Enjoyed our afternoon meal! read more

Came back again, and brought some friends this time! Love this spot for an affordable date night with a cool atmosphere. Our waiter was friendly, and service was good overall. - Fried green peppers (4/5): We tried the fried green peppers for the first time, and they were amazing! Love the crispiness and thinness of the peppers. The powdered sugar adds an interesting touch - Steak sandwich (3.5/5): This was pretty good, but not amazing. We ordered the steak cooked medium rare, but it was more of a medium. The steak was flavorful and seasoned well, just a bit chewy. - Grilled pork tenderloin (3/5): Large serving of pork, just a bit too salty for me. The pork was flavorful and juicy. - Chocolate cake with ice cream (3.5/5): It was moist, chocolatey, delicious. Love the desserts here! Again, this place is great for the value. Not amazing, but great for what you pay. read more

I absolutely adore Marin! The atmosphere, the jazz bar, and the original classic feel. The food is very good. I always love the Greek salad and the steak kebabs. Their steak sandwich is also lovely for lunch and I always love their salmon and mashed potatoes for dinner. Definitely worth stopping by! They're usually pretty darn busy so get there early to get a great table. read more

Always great food& service! My former coworkers dine here monthly. Love the green pepper rings and salmon.

My boyfriend and I came here for a date for the first time and will definitely be coming back! We ordered the lemon pesto chicken, mahi mahi, mashed potatoes, and broccoli. It was all a la carte but we didn't mind because we usually share. I didn't love the chicken, it was very juicy and flavorful but the pesto was a bit too nutty. The mahi mahi and mashed potatoes were too die for and broccoli is always a safe order. The environment was so welcoming and the pianist was amazing! read more

Came in, not knowing what to expect. Honestly we were just doing laundry next door and needed lunch and to entertain my toddler. BEST and quick service given having a picky squirmy yet patient toddler for a lunch date. Thank you friendliest staff (Ben especially) for a great pastrami and Swiss which satisfied a craving I didn't know I had until I was there. Skipped dessert even though I would have loved to. Great place to have stumbled upon, my parents are coming to visit from CA and I can't wait to bring them! read more

Fantastic food and drink. Service was exceptional - very crowded for a Saturday afternoon but food came out quickly!

I had heard a lot about Murrys great food and atmosphere. We went there recently for our first time and it was great!!

Stopped in for lunch. Service was very good. We had a burger and fries. Burger was nothing special and no real flavor. I had a chicken cheese steak (no cheese) I know but food allergies. It was good. I am sure would of been much better with cheese. Another person with us had a pork tenderloin and it was very good. read more
