MN GTG at Lion's Tap in Eden Prairie, any interest?
 

Hey guys,

Now that Cars & Coffee is over for the year, I'm gauging interest in a get together at at Lion's Tap for lunch. For those of you who don't know, Lion's Tap is probably the best family owned burger joint in the Midwest (at least I sure think so!). Right now I'm aiming for the Saturday after Thanksgiving (Nov. 29th) at 11:30. If anyone is interested, let me know in this thread or PM me by no later than Monday, Nov. 24th so I'll have time to let Lion's Tap know.

Sounds good! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one that loves burgers!

I have drove past it many times on my way to do work down in Carver. I have heard it is quite delicious.

Cars & Burgers @ 5 8 club and Go Karting afterwards


Let's see if these Lions Tap burgers are better than the infamous Jucy Lucy. :D

Different - not better :)

Both good eats.

CU in a few weeks.

Never been to Jucy Lucy. Where is that?

;)

Jucy Lucy is the 'what':

Matt's Bar in S. Msp is the 'where':

Local insight from Wiki: "Concerning this spelling, Matt's Bar proudly boasts on posters that "if it's spelled correctly, you're at the wrong place".

(there isn't a Wiki page for Lion's Tap)

Interesting how Matts and the 5 8 Club claim to be the original Jucy Lucy makers.

Alex,
A Jucy Lucy is the best Burger I have ever had in my life. I have never been to Lions Tap though.
We'll check out the Jucy Lucy's next month.

Sounds like a plan! I'll be looking forward to it.

You may have forgotten about been at Lions Tap, you were 15 years old and took us 2 hours to get there since we got lost.
Regards,

Was it good? I don't remember at all.
