Ive been coming to this place since I was 5 years old & I USE to like it. I live 2 blocks away from it my entire life. As a kid I use to come here alot but growing up & getting older Ive stopped liking this place. For one, All the waitresses are Very rude, There not friendly at all & dont make much small talk. It literately takes them about anywhere from 10 to 15 minutes to stop by your table to get your drinks, There menu is a decent size & they have many options to choose from but over the years there food has just gone downhill. There Jucy Lucys that they are famous for have even hit the bottom of the barrel, They dont update the menu much & Ive order mostly everything off of it by now. There philly cheesesteaks are terrible, The meat is ALWAYS rubbery & they overdue it on frying your veggies & there fries are soggy. The lucy is nothing to get worked up over by, its sloppily made & you can tell the cheese is processed & the veggies themselves are not very fresh, If your looking for a jucy lucy, I recommend Matts bar a few miles down the road for the best juicy lucys youve ever had. There chicken fingers arent that great either & are just as rubbery as the Philly, Every time Ive order chicken anything it always comes out burnt. And if you dont have alot of time on your hands do not come here cuz sometimes the wait can be up to an hour & lines have been out the door especially in the winter months cuz the patio is closed. The place is cramped & they have way to much "Flare" on the walls, You can tell they havent painted the place in a while to, cuz you can still smell the ciggerate smoke from when smoking ciggerates in restaurants was ok back then. Oh & by the way a few times I have went I have found bugs & hair in my food as well & trust me getting anything discounted or comped here is WAY out the question. The waitresses will argue with you & make you feel like you shouldnt be complaining about anything, One time I was here it took them 45 MINUTES to even come up to my table for anything & her excuse was "sorry I thought a waitress helped you" I was holding 3 MENUS at once at one point & thought maybe shed catch the hint, I argued with her for up to an HOUR about the terrible service & she, nor would the manager comp or discount anything on my order. The pricing isnt that great either & definitely not worth it for the sub par food you get. They do have Televisions, Jutebox, Candy Machines & pull tabs. There bathroom definitely needs to be updated cuz Im 26 years old now & they have had it the same since I was 5 years old, Its old & not kept up & parts of the stall doors are missing, There is dust EVERYWHERE. Especially on the lamps & plants & just everywhere is general, It seriously looks like they havent dusted in years & never even thought about the fact that maybe it stuffs peoples noses up, allergies or probably gets into the food in general. There bar is the typical hole in the wall bar for your main locals. The only enjoyable thing about this place is there back seating patio in the summer, but not worth it for the food they dish out. There parking is crammed as well but there is alot of street parking or you can park across the street in the church parking. Overall Im so disappointed in this place cuz it use to be a great burger joint & they just stop caring over the years, I would not recommend it & just drive the few extra miles to go somewhere else otherwise a great pizza place named fatlorenzos is just a few blocks down the road. But if you must eat here The only thing I still like is there chicken wings, They serve them hot with 4 different hot sauces from your choosing & they give you celery sticks & creamy blue cheese sauce for your wings, Those are really the only enjoyable thing Ive had from them in a few years & I always get it take out so I dont have to deal with there not so friendly staff.

WORST PLACE EVER!!!! My family and I went there after my sons soccer game to celebrate how great of a season he had. We had to stand in the entry way for 20 minutes waiting for a table to open up. They had a posting that Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives was there, so that seemed that this would be a great place to eat. NO CHANCE! When we finally got to sit and order the waitress was extremely rude. We waited another 20 minutes for our food and the waitress got my order wrong. Oh and get this my sister in law got chill with crackers. She opened the crackers and put them on her chilly only to find a BUG IN HER FOOD!!!! All the waitress who is aparently the manager also had to say was "Oh do you want something else?" We of course said no because we all couldnt even finish the food we had because it was so gross... The waitress/manager took the chill off the bill but nothing else even though we all clearly felt sick to our stomach after seeing the bug in the food. After the waitress/manager gave us the check she was no where to be found for like 10 minutes so we had to get up and go to the bar to pay our bill which was where she was standing. I had a coupon from the val pak that clearly says 1/2 PRICE HAMBURGER BASKET. RECEIVE A 1/2 PRICE BASKET OR $3.25 OFF so I got one burger 1/2 off but my mother in law also tried to use the coupon for her bill and the waitress wouldnt take it because she didnt order the right thing that qualifies her to use the coupon... ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! WE SHOULDNT OF HAD TO PAY ANYTHING FOR THIS NASTY FOOD AND HORRIBLE SERVICE!!! DONT EVER GO HERE!!! OH AND MAKE SURE TO LOOK ON TOP OF ALL THE GAME MACHINES TO SEE HOW MUCH DUST IS ON THEM.... DONT WASTE YOUR MONEY AT THIS PLACE!!!

Today I met with my family here and thought I would give them a chance for a jucy lucy. After 35 min wait for a table we sat to a dirty table cleaned once we sat then waited another 15 min for a server to get drinks and another 15min to order. Hour and twenty min later total we got our food and the 4 jucy lucys we ordered were luke warm at most cheese was cold and the fries also cold. It was like the burgers were cooked the night before put in a microwave and served. 1hour 45 min turn around time I wish I would have driven the 5 min north of the 5-8 Club and went to my normal place Matts where I can see my food being made fresh in front of me and served with onions no charge. If you want different cheeses 5-8 club go there, but if you want a fresh great tasting with american cheese very jucy goto Matts and save a little money too compared to the price here.

5-8 Club has to be the reason why Minnesota is one of the top state to live in. Best 6 dollars, Ive ever spent on a hamburger. Why? The answer is quite simple, they give you a half pound patty stuffed with all the things that make you stomach worship you. Gluttony, might be sin, and I would risk purgatory for these hamburgers any day. Out of the five days I spent in Minnesota, 2 of them were at 5-8 club, standing in line, while it was raining, hoping to get a seat in this homey restaurant, so I can get my hands on these succulent burgers. A must try, if you ever come to Minnesota. Must Haves: 1. SENORITA LUCITA: half pound patty, chipotle sauce, jack cheese, chipotle pepper, and pico de gallo 2. JUICY LUIGI: half pound patty, mozzarella cheese, marinara 3. PHILLY CHEESE STEAK: was delicious
