More information on Jax Cafe

This supper club has been a northeast Minneapolis icon since it opened in 1933. The service is impeccable and the surroundings are stylish, whether it is the white linen main dining area or the relaxing garden patio. The stained glass windows, the antique wooden phone booths and the large fireplace provide a nostalgic, yet elegant, atmosphere. Steak, prime rib, lobster, salmon and trout head the menu. Each is served with a crispy salad or bowl of homemade soup, choice of potato or vegetable of the day and a large breadbasket. You'll know the lobster and trout are fresh as you pick them from the large tanks and fresh water stream that greets patrons as they enter. An excellent selection of beer, wine, liquor and soft drinks are available.
