Strip steak, Italian salad, and Fettucine Alfredo
Carina V.

The strip steak and mashed potatoes were good, however the Fettuccine Alfredo was super watery and thin. The salad wasn't too good either. The bell peppers were unique and definitely a standout! We got the ice cream torte for dessert. I would say the food itself is nothing to write home about, but the live jazz and experience is what makes this place famous. We had a 90 minute wait--to be honest, I don't know if it was worth it. Service was rushed and curt as well.

Double Pork Burger
Shawn V.

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 :(

Dinner salad with creamy peppercorn dressing!   Very refreshing
Kari W.

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.

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.

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!

Is it kid friendly?

Some people bring their kiddos but truthfully, it is always packed, and space is tight - there's not a kid menu and it is dimly lit. I don't think I would bring kids there unless you have no other choice and/or you have kids maybe age 8 and over who…

The good news is, you can't get lupus from going to Lupus. But you can get some really good…read moredown-home music and friendly vibes from the music playing in the general store. I have only been there once, but sometimes you know it when you see it. And this place is a unique gem. Maybe it's not what you'd call "remodeled" or "passes city codes", but it has withstood the test of time good enough for me, and it seem to have an the kind of unpretentiousness where people there don't use big words or anything. My point is, it's not a place that is summed up in a yelp review very well. You sort of have to go there to see it. Some history of Lupus. In 1993 there was like a 100 or 200 year flood, and the town was under 3 feet of water. They got some FEMA money to raise all the houses up like 10 feet. Literally. So you know you're in the right town when you see houses on stilts. Getting to Lupus is quite a drive, but I would say it's a good destination trip. The general store is the second to last building on the left as you head down main street towards the river. If you get to the railroad crossing, you've gone too far. The last building on the right is the city hall. The town has about 40 people in it. Cover is $7 donation, and there is usually a jam afterwards, so bring you instrument if you so desire. Oh yea, the store is also an antique place, and so if you need a player piano, or a kerosine lamp, this is the place for you. Also, this place gets a spot on my best bathrooms list. Enough said. Here's some of what other say about it: http://www.robinsongs.com/1/post/2010/10/lupus-missouri.html http://www.panoramio.com/photo/73916335 http://marciemcguire.wordpress.com/tag/lupus-general-store/
