Jump to: Reviews | The 5-8 Club's 5'8" Club

With today’s gluttonous Groupon, gorge on eats that Mpls. St. Paul magazine named Best Juicy Lucy in Minneapolis in August, 2009. For $7, you’ll get $15 worth of hearty burgers, crispy fries, and ambitious eats at The 5-8 Club, an 80-year-old institution with three redeemable locations and a fourth location found only in the dreams of children.

The Juicy Lucy ($5.50), a half-pound burger stuffed with American cheese, is the eatery’s signature selection. Non-dairy fans can opt for the Saucy Sally ($5.75), sister to the famed Lucy, and stuffed with The 5-8 Club’s secret sauce. Vegetarians can enjoy a vegetable-based patty for $.50 extra. Other options include rib-sticking sandwiches, such as grilled cheese and Reubens, along with fried fish, steak, and rib dinners.

The 5-8 Club has been serving up substantial fare and friendly service since its speakeasy origins in the late 1920s. The restaurant’s flavorful history and stomach-satisfying dishes help to dismiss any guilt associated with greasy fare. Get this Groupon to sample a local treat, nosh on grill-season staples all year long, or amuse your elderly relatives with a piece of epicurean history.

They don’t spend much money on décor, and even though the restaurant has dingy carpet and modest seating, it all fits in quite well with the setting. It’s clean, comfortable, and the atmosphere is downright fun. – Nick and Natasha Laul, Minneapolis & St. Paul Restaurant Critics

This is the kind of place you walk in and feel like your [sic] in a low-rent version of Cheers - everyone knows each other and people come back time after time for the camaraderie and great bar food. – Todd F., Insider Pages
