A bit late getting to your site but I have to mention that this is my favorite blucy on the menu! I am finding it difficult to try anything else as I simply crave this burger!

I think that may have been a one-time thing with the 5-8. I ended up starting my Juicy Lucy search at the 5-8 last Thursday and was very happy with the experience as a whole. The restaurants wasn’t smelly at all – though there were quite a few groups of softball teams that had just stopped over from Nokomis. I ended up at Matt’s Bar the next night to see which of the two “originals” was the best. I have to say that while the 5-8 may have actually had the better burger, I tend to agree with you slightly in terms of the 5-8’s atmosphere. While I didn’t have the same experience with the smell by any means, I did feel that it lacked a certain something and that Matt’s may have made itself a bit more credible and convincing in its claim to being the home of the original Jucy Lucy.

I went to the 5-8 bar today to get my first lucy, I saw it in man vs food. Well as soon as I stepped inside it smelled like everyone in the place stepped in dog poo. It was overpowering. I thought the place was dirty.

I can’t wait to try this one! I’m beginning my own search for the best Juicy Lucy in the Minneapolis metro, and given the above post, I think it’s going to be tough for anyone to beat this one in my eyes. Having lived in Merriam Park for about a year, I’m a little bit bummed that this one wasn’t introduced until after my big move. I’m not sure what I think about the bacon and red currant, but nice to see that someone is pushing the Juicy Lucy envelope and introducing something new (especially given the level of excitement I had for the offerings at Bar Abilene and the disappointment). Anyway, I’m glad I came across this blog to look to while I get started in my Juicy Lucy blogging endeavor. If you have any suggestions, let me know! I can’t wait to get started on my Juicy Lucy adventure!
