Where to Eat in Murray: The Best Restaurants and Bars
Murray City (/ˈmʌri/ or locally /ˈmɜːri/) is a city situated on the Wasatch Front in the core of Salt Lake Valley in the U.S. state of Utah. Named for territorial governor Eli Murray, it is the state's fourteenth largest city. According to the 2010 census, Murray has approximately 46,746 residents. Murray shares borders with Taylorsville, Holladay, South Salt Lake and West Jordan, Utah. Once teeming with heavy industry, Murray’s industrial sector now has little trace and has been replaced by major mercantile sectors. Known for its central location in Salt Lake County, Murray has been called the Hub of Salt Lake County. Unlike most of its neighboring communities, Murray operates its own police, fire, power, water, library, and parks and recreation departments and has its own school district. While maintaining many of its own services, Murray has one of the lowest city tax rates in the state.

Reviewed By HockeyTravelGuy - Alamo Heights, Texas
My wife and I stopped in here recently after a day of skiing. We sat at a high top table in the bar area. We did sit for a bit of a long time before we had our first contact with the waitstaff, however after that service was quick and attentive.
The beers were good and very much as described on the menu. The food portions were large and we easily could have split an entree and a salad.
2. Tiburon

Reviewed By Greg C - Los Angeles, California
We were looking for a restaurant near the soccer stadium on a trip to SLC, and Trip Advisor steered us to Tiburon. We are very glad that it did. A wonderful little converted home, with a garden in the back, and a very nice patio (although in 100+ degree heat we stayed inside). The food is plated in a bit of a dated fashion, sort of reminiscent of the 90's, but tasted great. The compound butter they bring with the bread that has a hint of shallot, a hint of honey and all sorts of other stuff is amazing. And we were very impressed with the staff who were just wonderful to us. It is more than a bit pricey, but overall a wonderful experience, thanks!
3. Old Bridge Cafe

We like to try new cuisines and decided to give Old Bridge Café a try for the fun of it. And it was! The restaurant, while not fancy, was clean and the menu interesting. We had the sampler platter which was a nice introduction to Bosnian food and plenty for us for two meals. All the other diners were obviously regulars, but we were given the same prompt, courteous service as they were. I think this would be a great place to take kids who have adventurous taste buds to give them an introduction to a new cuisine.
4. Cous Cous Mediterranean Grill

Reviewed By UtahJerry - Salt Lake City, Utah
Their sign says gourmet Mediterranean and it is a cut above the typical neighborhood Mediterranean restaurant. There are Cous Cous dishes, pasta/noodles, flats (pizza), sandwiches and salads on the menu. I had their Chicken Cous Cous Carbonara and it was very flavorful and plentiful. You place your order, pay and take a number. I had barely gotten my drink, real silverware and found a seat when my meal was delivered to my table. Service and decor were both good. It is not far from my home and will be a spot I will go back too.

Reviewed By Jack H - Provo, Utah
This place has been around since before forever ago, and it’s easy to see why. I remember eating there at least 30 years ago. Very basic, very old-school family dining with no surprises. I guess that’s good because you know exactly what to expect. And, a little boring because you know exactly what to expect. I think this last visit may have been my last visit. Service was good though. Thanks.

Read the reviews, and headed over!
What a great restaurant, love the atmosphere and especially the food.
Their spice levels are real spice levels and not the watered down ones everyone has outside of Thailand.
The soups are very flavorful, packed with ingredients, main dishes as well. Tom Yam and Tom Kha delicious; Chicken Red Curry and Sweet n Sour Pork Stir Fry also excellent.
You will not be disappointed at all!!
7. The Pie Pizzeria - Midvale
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 94 reviews
The Pie Pizzeria, a valley landmark since 1980, continues to reign atop the "Best Pizza" lists because of the business philosophy that consistency, quality, equitable pricing and great service are the keys to success. The Pie takes no short cuts! We believe that quality takes time. It would be a MIRACLE if you get your pizza in less than five minutes! We like to consider ourselves old school, no frozen dough or pre-shred bagged pizza cheese here. Everything at The Pie is made to order. Pizza dough is hand rolled and hand tossed the traditional way. We slice our meats, cheeses and vegetables fresh every morning. Our sauces and dressings are made in house too. We do this not because it's the new culinary trend, we do this because we have done it that way for over 35 years. To us it's more about the interaction than the transaction. Relax and let's break bread together...

It's good pizza, not crazy amazing but definitely worth a try. I probably would go back to try a specialty pizza. Just went with a pepperoni and jalapeño pizza. Local favorite place.

Yes, it's a bit pricey. But the food has always been good, lunch or dinner. This time we had the short rib and beef medallions, and we enjoyed both thoroughly. Short rib was fork tender and the medallions were cooked perfectly. Pasta is really good as well, just wish they offered a gnocchi dish.
9. Chick-fil-A Murray

This was my first visit to the franchise, and we were dazzled. The atmosphere is one of customer satisfaction first, seemingly an upscale ambiance not often seen in fast food restaurants. We were checked one by caring employees at least four times while we ate our delicious sandwiches and nuggets. So tender, juicy and flavorful the food is. Recommended!
10. Itto Sushi
Overall Ratings
4.5 based on 59 reviews
Reviewed By LindaHawley - Bellingham, Washington
Itto is a small informal sushi restaurant that packs 5-star flavor and quality with creative combinations. It's some of the best sushi I've ever eaten (and I've eaten a lot). My two favorite fancy rolls were the Titanic and the Alaskan. (I didn't get a photo of the Titanic because I ate the whole roll before I remembered to take a pic-that's how good it was.) We also had the Montok and the City Boy, which my companion loved. There really is sushi for every pallet at Itto's. We had 4 specialty rolls and 1 soup for $70 (which included a 20% tip). This place is a real gem.
