A great spot for dinner! It has a lot to choose from and has many different type of jucy lucys (cheese within the burger patty) I got the roadhouse jucy lucy, it had an onion ring and 4 thick slices of bacon on it. Overall I would rate the jucy lucy about a 4 out of 5. I would still say Matt's Bar has the best jucy lucy. If you want different type of options for your jucy lucys or regular burger and sandwiches, I would recommend 5-8. read more

5-8 Grill & Bar - Roadhouse Jucy Lucy - Burgers Near Me - Champlin, Minnesota

Terrible experience today. We are longtime customers and have always sat at a booth in the bar. The only available booths were not cleaned so we sat at the cleanest to wait for it to be cleaned. The waitress/bartender came over and angrily told us we shouldn't have sat at a dirty table. We said we were leaving and she just glared at us. We won't return. There was no reason for her to be so rude. Even when food orders have been inconsistent with quality we had continued to support the restaurant. Very disappointing. read more

It was my first time there and I've never had a juicy luisy defore, it wasn't bad, the cheese seemed to all be on one side though, thought it was supposed to be in the middle, anyways I'm definitely looking forward to seeing what else is on the menu, I'll definitely be back, the waitstaff was probably the best part, great group of gals and very friendly. read more

5-8 Grill & Bar - First time here, food is on thw way, service is great so far, to be continued. - Burgers Near Me - Champlin, Minnesota

I really love a good burger! This location is convenient and the food is always good! I always order the same thing, the regular Juicy Lucy but now they have sweet potato fries with marshmallow sauce! Makes it even better! Sometime if you hit this spot at the right time you don't have to wait long. They seem to have events in the bar also throughout the week! And always some special on the menu! read more

5-8 Grill & Bar - Burgers Near Me - Champlin, Minnesota

We have ordered several times for take out and our orders ALWAYS get canceled!! Don't waste your time. The customer service is horrible and no one cares. Go to the MC Taps in Brooklyn Park instead. Much better food and customer service read more

The 5-8 Grill and Bar has shady business practices. I went to dinner there with my fiancé. The burger that I ordered did not have any sauce on it despite the fact that the menu said it would. I let the server know about the mistake. She brought me the sauce. However, when I got the bill I saw that she tried to charge me for the sauce that the kitchen forgot to add in the first place. I was able to get them to remove this erroneous charge. I, however, also noticed a service charge had been tacked on to the bill. It turns out you had better go through the entire menu extremely carefully. On the front page in very tiny print they disclose that they are going to charge a 3% service fee to help with "retention". Don't nickel and dime customers. If it costs more to run the business then increase the prices. Don't surprise customers with hidden fees. Also, if the owner actually cared about his employees he might actually try listening to them. I highly doubt that he is passing along this extra income to them, especially since I heard from the employees that the owner doesn't listen to the employees. No wonder there are employee retention issues. Needless to say, I do not patronize businesses with service surcharges like 5-8 added, and I will not be returning. What a shame. read more

our servers Bailey and Kandi have been very sharp, friendly and attentive to our needs!

Everyone there is nice, kind, we all get along good and have fun. The food is great there, staff and games are awesome too.

The interior is your typical bar. Neon lights and sports memorabilia on the walls. We came late on Sunday after a Viking game so there was a few intoxicated, loud fans left. Of course the debate over who has the best juicy Lucy. Well I am one of those rare "I don't care, I love both!" Today we started with fried pickles. They were fried pickles. You do get a large amount. My lady and I shared a Cobb salad. Now there's no debate. 5-8 has the best Cobb salad. Large, wait, huge portion and those fried avocado chunks are amazing! We shared the Roadhouse burger. It's stuffed with American cheese, topped with 5-8 sauce, bacon and a large onion ring. I'm not sure what the 5-8 sauce is but I'll take it on every burger! My son had the Montana burger. This burger bleu cheese, topped with Heinz 57, chipotle mayonnaise, lettuce and their "famous" onion straws. By the looks of it he liked it. He ate most of it and asked to take the rest home. Now the only reason they didn't get 5 stars is because our server didn't seem to happy to be here tonight. read more

Food was decent here but the service was awful.... we ordered drinks and it's took 20 min to get where then he just dropped the drinks and walked away so we had to wait another 10 min to order... ordered food which they messed up both our meals and forgot to make our daughters grill cheese, when we said something it took 2 min and the bread was soggy and the cheese not even melted.... we weren't the only ones to have crappy service there were two other tables complaining on the mixed up orders! Food was good but common 2 servers at a very busy grill... no bueno read more

We had the Juicy Lucy burger and it was good but it tasted just like any regular cheeseburger. It took a long time to get our food, about 40 minutes, even though we didn't customize or request anything special and it wasn't busy at all. It's an okay place to eat but it's just your average burgers and you might have to wait a while. read more

5-8 Grill & Bar - Juicy Lucy burger with fries - Burgers Near Me - Champlin, Minnesota

All I can say is YUM! Their juicy Lucy's are amazing. My favorites are the Sunnyside and the PBJ! We also like their cheese curds, wings, sweet potato fries, and fried pickles! Oh and Thursday night is bingo night- fun! read more

Im not a big burger fan, but since I live in Twin Cities, I thought I should at least try jucy lucy. We chose this location because it's closer to us. We went there on Friday evening. The place was kind of packed. However, it was strange because we had to seat ourselves. It's not actually a small place so seating yourself when it's almost full house is just weird. We started with Mozzarella sticks. I ordered Jucy Lucy's and my bf ordered mushroom and swiss burger. The mozz sticks were decent. My burger though was just ok. It wasnt hot, and the cheese didnt really ooze out, but more like a melted cheese that was going back to a sold state. My bf liked his burger ok. Overall, nothing really wowed us. Now that Ive already tried Jucy Lucy's. I dont really need to try it again. read more

The atmosphere is family friendly and the set up similar to any neighborhood restaurant: applebees, perkins etc. However, there is no host, you seat yourself. I was starving and already knew what I wanted and wanted to order immediately, but my table had to wait at least 5 minutes or more before a waitress stopped by. It wasn't particularly busy at all either, so there was no excuse for the lag in service. In any case, when we finally ordered, the food came out quickly, so that was good. It was my first time having a jucy lucy, and it was certainly delicious. The cheese isn't super hot as some say though. For a $6.00 burger, it's definitely great. On occasion I've had $20.00 burgers, and honestly, the more expensive burgers are tastier in my opinion. But who has money to eat $20.00 burgers every day? For $6.00 the jucy lucy is fine in my book. read more

We come here with friends on a Saturday night. We never feel rushed or pushed. Servers are friendly and efficient. Food is good-hamburgers, salads and chili. Great 'neighborhood' bar. read more

If you're considering trying this restaurant based on things you've heard about 5-8's Juicy Lucy, don't do it! This location is extremely mediocre. Try one of the other 3 locations The bun was halfway stale, the fries weren't warm, and the beef tasted like my mom fried it (and that's not saying a lot). Let's just say that I felt like I was tricked. If you want to try the 5-8 Juicy Lucy, the answer is not in Champlin. Try one of the other 3 locations. PS, it was very cold in the restaurant. The waitress said that there was nothing she could do about it. So bring a parka. read more

I give the 5-8 four stars because of the Juicy Lucy's. They're a delicious treat of hot molten lava-cheese stuffed inside a yummy-yummerson burger. The atmosphere of the 5-8 is nothing to write home about but it's all about the cheese, right? Consistently good, friendly staff. They're good people over there. Bingo on Thursday nights. Happy Hours run until 6PM and the selections are good. We return again and again because it's local. It's our 5-8. They do the Juicy real well. A good place to hang with friends. read more

This place has always been hit or miss with me. I've been here a handful of times and the food is always good, but the service just plain sucks. My advice is to just reflect the type of service you recieve in your tip. I'd tip better if i knew that it was all going to the cooks. But the waitresses havent deserved an extra dime from me, so far. read more

For those that have tried the 5*8 Club close (relatively speaking) to the airport, be ready for a COMPLETELY different feel to the Champlin 5*8 Club. Much less "hole in the wall"...which can be a good thing and a bad thing. Same menu though...which is what really matters! Good food, relatively decent selection of beers, and plenty of TV's to watch the game(s). In terms of food, you pretty much have to go with the Juicy Lucy...and I would highly recommend the JoJo's as well. The variation of the Juicy Lucy's are intriguing...but I still stand by the original. read more

Me and my wife decided to venture out and try someplace new. The 5-8 club is very highly rated in the Mpls / St. Paul Magazine for their burgers (especially for their famous Juicy Lucy). We decided to visit their Champlin location because they we closer to home. When we got there we seated ourselves which was a little surprising. The ambiance was not quit what we are expecting. It was a little quite with the dining area separated from the bar. The place had a very suburban strip mall feel to it, aka bland. Since this was our first visit, we both ordered the same thing. A traditional Juicy Lucy with a side of onion rings (and a small cup of coleslaw). The food came in a reasonable amount of time and we both dug in. First, the burgers were good, not great. We we warned about the piping hot cheese in the center of the burger, but found the cheese warm but certainly not piping hot. As we dug further into the burger, the cheese started to solidify. Not good. Next the onion rings. They were just ok. Nothing special. I guess I was expecting something more, something made from scratch since this place was not a national franchise. I could have gotten the same thing from the frozen food aisle in the grocery store. Lastly the coleslaw was a little to creamy and not very crisp. Again, just ok. Overall the atmosphere did not enhance the experience at all. It was mediocre food in a mediocre environment. The service was good and the waitress was fine as well. We were there at 4:00pm on a Sunday. read more

Maybe I was hungrier than usual, but I finished the wings right away! It was absolutely delicious! As for my Juicy Lucy, it hit the spot. I'm glad there's a new location north of the city. read more

I go there all the time. I live right next to it . Food is good and service is great.

Went on Saturday evening. Knew it would be busy, but we waited almost 90 minutes for our food. Was just about to leave when they finally brought our food. Tasted like it was sitting at a heatlamp the whole time. Fries absolutely cold, burger was not hot with the gooey cheese inside like a juicy Lucy should be made. Probably the best thing we had was our waters. Can't even rate the food because we were too hungry to even care. Not too impressed. Be warned as you may have to wait a ridiculous amount of time for subpar food. Look elsewhere. read more

Service was truce. Decorations were tacky with a family atmosphere. The food was good but the juicy Lucy doesn't compare to Matts bar and grill. Will come back to hang out in the bar area. read more

GREAT place to drink. Happy hour is from 11 - 6 everyday. Great food as well. Had the Juicy Lucy that was on food network. AWESOME burger. One of the best I have every had. So good and went back the next day for a second one!!!! I would be back here in a heartbeat. Just wish I lived closer so I could go more frequently. read more

The garlic cheeseburger is one of the best burgers I've ever had the pleasure of eating. I can't even explain what it is about it - it's just pure deliciousness. My husband had their Juicy Lucy and we both enjoyed the thick cut fries. This place is busy most of the week so go early or be prepared to wait. Worth the trip, worth the wait. read more

i've gone to the one in south and this was considerably different and much cleaner. the staff was really nice and everyone greeted you. i got the pepperjack juicy lucy again to taste the difference and somehow, this tasted better than the one in south as well. the onion rings were good but a bit on the too crunchy side. my food goer had the juicy luigi and he ate the whole thing even though he was too full but wanted to finish it. i'd choose this location over the original because it was more aesthetically pleasing read more

Their jucy lucy's are decent, but I almost always get the bleu cheese burger here. They cover the bleu cheese with swiss, which I originally didn't think I'd like, but it turned out quite well. They also have wonderful broasted chicken which is one of my favorites. It come's with Jo Jo fries, and their version of Jo Jo fries are pretty sad. Jo Jo's should be much thicker , but they're still good. They have happy hour on Saturday's which is a nice plus and summit on tap. I've never had problem with service, maybe I've just been lucky. read more

It's not just for lunch and dinner anymore! Stopped in for breakfast. Menu is standard fare, but well made and tasty. The biscuits and gravy and french toast were especially good. Service was quick and attentive, with an atmosphere that was kitschy but inviting. This place is a nice neighborhood gem. I will be back. Next time I'll have to try Juicy Lucy breakfast sandwich. read more

Went early on a Saturday night and there was a wait for tables. People just kind of hang out by the door, waiting for someone to make a move like they are leaving. Service was quick and friendly. Food was ok. Ribs were on special, and they were extremely fatty. My daughter couldn't eat them as they were too "squishy." Other burgers and fries were pretty standard. Obviously not their target market, but the veggie burger is the big black bean patties from Costco. Disappointing its not housemade, and actually is an upcharge over the standard beef patty. However, the best part is how cheap the drinks are. Happy hour specials are like $2-$3/drink. read more

If you can stand horrible service, but want a great burger, this is your place! BUT if you expect even mediocre service - skip this place! The burgers were SO good that we MAY give it another try in the hopes the staff gets trained, but IDK... This was bad! Service was slow. Wrong food came out. The chili came out lukewarm (at best) and couldn't even melt the cheese on top. On a Saturday night we would have liked to have a couple more drinks, we were in a bar after all! But service was just too slow. read more

I will say this, there was a time where I didn't have a car.... I WALKED 6 MILES TO GO HERE JUST FOR A BURGER AND FRIES passing other places on the way if you have never been here your missing out read more

This is one of my favorite restaurants ever! I used to live near by and would go at least once a month, now I've moved about a half hour west and still find myself driving back often (though not as often as I would like). I usually order the Montana Jack burger, but I've also tried several other burgers on the menu and haven't found anything that I haven't enjoyed yet. The fries are alright, but nothing to call home about, to get around this I would recommend one of two courses of action, just get two burgers, or get the 5-8 sauce for dipping, absolutely delicious! I've always had very good service here as well, in particular the guy with Pascal's triangle (a bunch of numbers written in a triangle) tattooed on his arm is exceptional. Sorry I can't remember his name. A word of caution though, Thursday night is bingo night and can get kind of loud, if you're looking for a nice dinner conversation you should maybe plan on going a different night. read more

This place is really hit or miss & the misses are dominant right now. Today I think we were the only customers in the restaurant & service was slow & inadequate. Burgers are always good here tho today mine was really crispy on the outside, not usual, & our order , 2 items, took alot longer than usual. Plus when something is going to cost extra the server needs to say so to the customer, not just add it to the bill! Yes I asked for crisp fries & they usually are, but they were brown & not any more crisp than usual, just over cooked. So not impressed today at all & we will be taking a break from this place for awhile & try our Jucy Lucy's elsewhere with or without a coupon. read more

Rather disappointing as I had out of town guests and could not eat here due to a signed "power outage." Pretty odd outage as the restaurant had the lights and TVs on as in the picture. I have a feeling this location was closed for other reasons. read more

Menu said it was famous for its juicy Lucy!! Wrong!! (Donald trump voice). It wasn't very special. Just a typical burger and I love burgers. Jojo's and service was good though. Probably won't be back for a burger here. Go to blue door pub if you want a good juicy Lucy. read more

Anyone who has written a review granting this establishment more than one star either works for them or has never dined outside of Champlin. This was, hands-down, the worst food I have had the displeasure of eating. This place touts itself as the home of the "Juicy Lucy". I had a jucy lucy at Matt's bar in Minneapolis many years ago. The 5-8 version isn't even remotely funny. More than $9.00 for a cold, over-cooked, tasteless burger with awful onion rings (which was another $1.50). My wife's burger was not only cold, the bun was hard. I can honestly say that if I had gone to McDonalds and ordered a cheeseburger that had been sitting on the rack for five hours, the McDonalds burger would have been preferable. There is no way this place can stay in business as it is. I'm totally baffled. Who are the people that write these positive reviews? Who would visit this place more than once? I guess I'm confused. Please, stay away, far, far, away! read more
