The waiting staff is Amazing. Nice little family bar with good food.we love going to get Breakfast on Saturday morning. Have a few drinks and play some pulltabs. read more

Best original juicy! Had the Saucy, best burg in all of the Twin Cities. Linda was our server, also best in the cities. We have had her several times and thought Jeremiah was the GOAT but there is competition. read more

I was having a serious hamburger hunger and the 5-8 was my pick. I stopped in after a Vikings loss and the mood was a little somber. For me, it picked up quick after I ordered the delish bacon cheeseburger with sweet potato fries. The wait staff for my table was friendly and attentive and the bar sir and the restaurant side were both super clean and warm. Apologies for no pics...I was so hungry, I ate too quick! This is one of the original places for an excellent juicy Lucy and I def recommend this place!! read more

Our BLT was the best lots of bacon and tomatoes, and our waitress was fantastic, and the jojo fries were excellent!!

Everything was fantastic!! was impressed with how the wait staff works together getting the food and drinks out. The staff really is a team read more

We ordered takeout tonight because we were craving burgers. We also have had Juicy Lucy's from several different MN places and thought we'd try this one. Maybe because it was takeout, but the burgers were underwhelming. Fries were actually tough and even though we were only 25 minutes away, they tasted like they'd been sitting for an hour. We collectively had two pepper jack Juicy Lucy's, the shrimp basket, the garlic pub burger and a bacon cheeseburger. Despite our Grubhub driver being outstanding, the food left us wanting more and regretting the calories we ate for just okay food. Didn't take photos as we were starving, which should have made the food amazing read more

Good food good service and great value looking forward to the next time we can get together for lunch or dinner

Service was great, but the fried fish wasn't even average. Too much breading. More deep fried breading than fish.

Food was delicious, as usual. Cranberry turkey but was amazing. Fries are coated perfectly. Chicken wild rice soup is creamy, the best! Server is bartender, she's great! read more

Worst service. it took over a half hour to get a beer... There is only one good bar tender named Jack, she is the best bartender anywhere we have ever been. We wish she was still at the Sherwood Lounge. There are too many nasty people there at the 5&8 just happy all left the Sherwood: lounge and now That's the best bar on the East side now that they are all over there. If Jack isn't there, you might just want to turn around and leave. read more

Food came out fresh and hot, the broasted chicken is AMAZING! I would Love to see the Tuesday Taco special go back to having freshly fried taco shells instead of them being cold and hard from being prepped in the morning and sitting all day. they used to be sooo good. read more

If you want to go to a place where they have the best chicken dinner and juicy Lucy's on the planet, and not to mention the friendliest waitresses, then this is the place. You'll love it. read more

5-8 Tavern & Grill - American Near Me - Maplewood, Minnesota

Friendly atmosphere ... great fish and chips ... good breakfast choices. Nice happy hour menu.

Linda is honestly the best server I've ever had! She was super friendly, attentive, and made us feel right at home. She knew the menu inside and out and gave great recommendations. Plus, she checked in just enough without being overbearing. Really made our experience special, and I'll definitely be asking for her next time we come in. If you want awesome service and a chill vibe, Linda's the one to ask for! Thanks, Linda--you rock! read more

Santa Fe Juicy lucy was delicious! It was juicy as expected, onion rings were crunchy as needed, and the 5-8 tavern sauce was out of the ordinary! I'd be definitely coming back here again to try the others! Service was great, was constantly check up on to make sure everything was good. Self seating, and it was a nice place to catch up and chat read more

Service at the bar is always great! Food keeps getting better, so many great options! We love the 5-8 Maplewood!

The service was great. The server was very attentive and responsive. . The food Tasted wonderful

Another place in the running for Best Jucy Lucy in the Twin Cities (I know it's not one of the "originals"). They have a variety of Lucys here, so if you don't want a regular Lucy with American cheese, there likely is something else that will tickle your fancy. There are also daily specials here, if burgers aren't your thing. These are a little more limited than the burger selection, but include hot beef and turkey sandwiches, all you can eat spaghetti, and fish. Everything else is pretty standard bar, although they have fun old aluminum signs decorating the walls, normal tap beers, and quick service. read more

My kids absolutely Loved their burgers and so did I. My oldest son said "This Juicy Lucy is so good that I could eat it for dessert." Reasonable prices and friendly service. read more

Delicious food at a great price! Had their hot pasiano sandwich it was fantastic! Everything my husband and I tried here was very good. Waitress was friendly. Old time welcome Cafe feel . Pizza s here are wonderful and great prices. I order 2-3 for pickup for Vikings games or parties. Always a hit. read more

Good food and good service. Waitress is always pleasant. Even when she is busy she always takes time to make sure everything is ok with our meal. Nice place to eat! read more

Expensive! Marginal Lucy's and silly service charge to "support the staff". Overall service was good but they are getting ridiculous on the up-charges and the food itself is marginal. We ordered two Lucy's fries and a root beer float which was over 50 bucks!! Are you kidding me? On top of it they have a 3% charge to "help the staff". I boycott any place that is doing this. The OWNERS need to be taking care of the staff NOT the customers! I was hoping this could be a local for me since its right down the road but I will pass. read more

5-8 Tavern & Grill - dining room - American Near Me - Maplewood, Minnesota

Our mostly out of town group was told by locals this place is a must. But I'm gonna be the odd one that leaves a review not about a Juicy Lucy, but about a salad. First off, I'm so glad they had a few salad options. Due to a restricted diet I couldn't consume an infamous burger here. I didn't have high expectations for their salad to be honest. Everything else on the menu is basically fried and I figured they're in the business of burgers, not salads. But wow, was I pleasantly surprised! The Asian chicken salad had a delicious sesame dressing, great fresh vegetables, and tender chicken. Everyone else at my table had a burger and seemed to really enjoy them. The nice selection of sides seemed to be appreciated by all also including sweet potato fries with a special marshmallow sauce. Unique! read more

We really enjoy the Friday fish fry. Great staff and food at this location. Try to come early to get a table - always a busy night.

Good food! The server was attentive and helpful. The only negative was the loudness of the music.

In my neighborhood, so I go for the broasted chicken. Never disappoints. Service is always friendly, and even if they're busy, I don't feel pressured to pay the check and vacate. As an old widower, it's a nice place to go when I want to treat myself. read more

I Really like the new waiter. He was attentive, courteous, efficient. the beer battered cod was cooked to perfection, so coodles to the chef. A very enjoyable meal. read more

Had dinner at the 5-8 club in Maplewood. Great place to eat. Food is good and so is the service.

We had the spicy chili, which had a kick but was delicious and we had the BBQ pulled pork sandwich which had tender meat and a great flavor. The service was fast and friendly, we went at lunch and got our food quickly, and had the bill right away. We tried our luck at pull tabs, zero! And played the Etab machine, zero! Next time! read more

Best food and staff everything is good food and drink wise and happy hour deals it's just a fun great time check it out

We always get good food and have good service when visiting 5-8 Maplewood. We're never disappointed.

We visit every couple months on Sunday. And we always have great service from Linda! She is efficient, has a great sense of humor and makes sure you are happy with everything! Today we brought our 19 year old grandson and he had a wonderful time!! Try the Asian Chicken salad, it's the best!! read more

Great food great atmosphere, phenominal staff. The location great. Our server made great suggestions for each us. My friend loved the sweet potato fries read more

Looking for a good juicy Lucy? Have no idea what a juicy Lucy is? Well it's a patty with cheese in the middle, can't go wrong with that! I got the saucy sally and it was great. It gets a little messy but worth it. Everything seasoned well and the fries are cooked perfectly and go so well with the burger. We also got the chili, not a fan. It was super watery, wish it had more depth and was thicker cuz I like my chili hearty and not to runny. All in all, I enjoyed my first ever juicy Lucy! read more

always good food and atmosphere . The staff is always friend. We always enjoy going to t 5-8 in Maplewood

While visiting Minnesota, my friends and I stopped here to have our first ever Juicy Lucy's. We loved the homey, small-town feel of the diner, and of course, their food! They have great fries, coleslaw, onion rings, and of course burgers - you really can't go wrong with any of their burgers. The reason for this three stars review however was the service :/ It started off very rocky when we had to wait over 20 minutes before someone came to take our order. On the bright side, the service did improve throughout our meal - I just wish it was consistent right from the start. All in all, our experience could have been better. I would still recommend 5-8 Tavern though as my friends and I really did enjoy the food. read more

Delicious food I have only been a couple of times but have enjoyed it both times. The last time I went, my waiter was really nice and sweet-- I hope he is doing well these days read more

To be clear, I door dashed this food. But it was not the least appealing. The fish was not fresh the egg roll sucked and my other two items were just ok. No more customer here read more

Fries are the best. Burgers are perfect size at a good price. Don't need or want 1/2 pound. Staff has always been great. Been coming once a month for sure and sometimes more for almost 20 years with the same group of 8. The pepper Jack Cheeseburger is the best. read more

The wait staff is amazing!! Always very friendly! Food is excellent!! We go there once a month for a best friends dinner. Great atmosphere!!
