Matt's bar notes
Update to have menu;

Matt's Bar signature menu item is its Jucy Lucy cheeseburger which consists of cheese cooked inside a patty of Angus beef.[1] There is contention between the 5-8 Club and Matt's Bar, another Minneapolis eatery located 23 blocks south of the Matt's Bar on Cedar Avenue, about which establishment invented the burger.[2][3] According to the Matt's bar, they developed the dish in the 1950s.[7] The version served by the club is spelled Juicy Lucy, while the Matt's Bar iteration omits the letter I, resulting in a spelling of Jucy Lucy.[5]

Unlike Matt's Jucy Lucys, the 5-8 Club's Juicy Lucys are offered with the option of four different cheeses: American, blue, pepper jack, and Swiss. In order to avoid confusion in the preparation process, patties being grilled are tagged with colored toothpicks corresponding the type of cheese inside. The restaurant serves as many as 300 of the cheeseburgers each day.[1]

Referencing the different spellings of their respective burgers, waitstaff at the 5-8 Club have donned shirts imploring that "If it's spelled right, it's done right."[6] The club sells T-shirts reading "Free the Cheese" in contrast to shirts offered at Matt's that read "Fear the Cheese".[1]

Crispy, golden fried onions sit upon a green and white checkered paper. The 5-8 Club's onion straws In addition to Juicy Lucys, the 5-8 Club serves other dishes, including fried cheese curds, pork tenderloin sandwiches, potato wedges, and onion straws.[1][2] The Saucy Sally, a variation on the Juicy Lucy consisting of a secret sauce cooked into a beef patty and served with a variety of toppings (onions, cheese, lettuce, and Thousand Island dressing) is served at the eatery.[7] In March 2016, the 5-8 Club began its Brewer's Burger program, allowing a new local craft brewer to develop a limited-time burger–beer pairing each month.[8] The restaurant offers "free refills 'till you float" on beverages.[1]
