Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

The 5-8 Tavern & Grill in Maplewood is a great place to go for a casual dinner. We went for a burger night. I had the bacon cheese burger which was excellent. My wife had the GCB which she really enjoys. I had french fries...with mine (they are the best fries around) and my wife had the cole slaw (which is home made at the restaurant). We both enjoyed our meals and will definitely be back again soon.More

Family was looking for a place for lunch while we were traveling through the Maplewood area. We noticed that this location was just down the street from one of our other stops, and I knew that this was a must visit spot when we realized...that this was also the home of the Juicy Lucy… Which, of course, we ordered a few while we were there. We stopped around lunch time, so place was moderately busy at the time of our arrival. We were still able to get a table right away, and service was prompt and attentive throughout our visit. Burgers were excellent! I enjoyed the Roadhouse version of the Juicy Lucy, which came with bacon, onion ring, and barbeque. Portion sizes were significant as well. Burger was huge, and there were plenty of fries with it. Meals were not cheap, but prices were reasonable for the quality of food received.More

They are were seasoned to perfection,...cooked to temperature and tasted well with the inside melted cheese of our your choice. We differently will return again when in the area.More

We were there for Sunday breakfast and all of our food was excellent. I also had a Bloody Mary that was very good! There were two servers on duty. One came over just after we sat down and told us our server would be right...with us and could she take our beverage order. When our server came to our table, she was already aware of our beverage order. Very good service!More

I returned after a bad experience in 2016 to give this restaurant another chance. WOW, Nicole was AWESOME with customer service and the fact we got to choice our choose of cheese for our Juicy Lucy made it an even better experience because we thought...it was only one cheese option. Nicole talked us into trying cheese curds pig-pen egg roles while we waited for our Juicy Lucy's to be cooked. We ordered one classic with swiss cheese, one Saucy Sally with American Cheese, another classic with Amablu bleu cheese and we ordered our final Juicy Lucy as a classic with pepper jack cheese. The pig-pen egg rolls were delicious with the sweet Thai chill dipping sauce they had ground chuck, cheese , diced pickles and bacon bits stuffed in them. Also the first order of cheese curds was overcooked but Nicole got us another fresh order because she saw we weren't really eating them. Now that is true service when you see something at a table isn't being eaten you ask if something is wrong with it. The burger came as we were finishing our appetizers and all the burger were seasoned to perfection had a lot of stuffed METLTED CHEESE in-between the patties not liquidly cheese. We also order Nachos Supreme which was a HUGE order for just one person so all three of us help our friend eat those. This experience was a total opposite of my visit in 2016. Thank you so much Nicole for an excellent return visit. You're a super star, and because of that I'll return every time I'm in the area with friends and ask for you as our server/waitress. Matt's Juicy Lucy has nothing on the 5-8 Tavern & Grill's Juicy Lucy and nothing on Nicole's customer service skills. See you next time 5-8 Tavern & Grill.More
