5-8 Tavern & Grill, American restaurant in Maplewood, United States.
The 5-8 Tavern & Grill is a restaurant in Maplewood that specializes in hearty American fare, including the famous cheese-stuffed Juicy Lucy burgers, broasted chicken, sandwiches, and house-made chili. The dining space has a casual setup with a full bar inside, and outdoor seating is also available.
The restaurant started in 1928 as an illegal bar during Prohibition, operating only between 5 and 8 PM. It has since evolved into an established dining destination after Prohibition ended.
The name comes from the original speakeasy's operating hours between 5 and 8 PM. Today it serves as a gathering place where visitors come to experience the famous Juicy Lucy burger and enjoy the casual neighborhood vibe.
The restaurant opens in the morning on most weekdays and offers both indoor and outdoor seating options. It is easy to access and accommodates different group sizes, though expect crowds during peak dining times.
The burger recipe uses only never-frozen USDA ground chuck, giving the meat a distinctive texture and deeper flavor. The chicken is prepared using a special broasting method that creates a crispy exterior while keeping the inside juicy.
