About Murphy's
History
Murphy’s Steakhouse has had several names and many owners over the last 50 years, but three things have never changed, and never will:
* High-Quality Food
*Value for Our Customers
*Friendly Service
1990 – Craig and Regi Stonebraker purchased Murphy’s Steakhouse and transformed it into the cozy restaurant it is today. While they continue the tradition of serving hand-cut steaks and fresh seafood with an extraordinarily friendly staff, they also made a few improvements.
They remodeled the interior, went nonsmoking in all sections, and introduced catering services. They also work side-by-side with chefs Wayne Morrison and Rickie Tillman to create imaginative weekly specials that keep customers coming back.

1977 – Jim Murphy purchased Calloway’s and renamed it Murphy’s Steakhouse. He hired an amazing staff that began the “welcome home” feeling for which the restaurant is known. It was Jim that first introduced Indianapolis to affordable hand-cut steaks and fresh seafood.

1960 – At some point in the '60s, Frisch’s changed hands – and names – and became Calloway’s Steakhouse.

1950 – Here’s a little known secret: Murphy’s Steakhouse originally opened as a Frisch’s Big Boy restaurant in the 1950s. “Boy,” it has come a long way.
