5-8 Club
American restaurant in Minneapolis, Minnesota
The 5-8 Club is a well-known restaurant located in Minneapolis, Minnesota, famous for its version of the Jucy Lucy burger, a cheese-stuffed hamburger. The establishment has a rich history and is a staple in the local dining scene.
History[edit | edit source]
The 5-8 Club was originally established in 1928 as a speakeasy during the Prohibition era. It was a place where people could gather to enjoy food and drink in a convivial atmosphere. Over the years, it transitioned into a full-fledged restaurant, gaining popularity for its unique offerings and friendly service.
The Jucy Lucy[edit | edit source]
The 5-8 Club is one of the claimants to the creation of the Jucy Lucy, a burger with cheese inside the meat patty rather than on top. This culinary innovation has become a signature dish of the restaurant and a must-try for visitors to Minneapolis. The cheese inside the burger melts during cooking, creating a molten core that is both delicious and distinctive.
Menu[edit | edit source]
In addition to the Jucy Lucy, the 5-8 Club offers a variety of other menu items, including traditional American fare such as sandwiches, salads, and appetizers. The restaurant is also known for its onion straws, a popular side dish that complements the main courses.
Locations[edit | edit source]
The original 5-8 Club is located in South Minneapolis, but the success of the restaurant has led to the opening of additional locations in the Twin Cities area. Each location maintains the same commitment to quality and service that has made the 5-8 Club a beloved institution.
Cultural Impact[edit | edit source]
The 5-8 Club has been featured in various media outlets and has become a part of the cultural fabric of Minneapolis. It is often included in lists of must-visit restaurants in the city and has a loyal following among both locals and tourists.
