Standout menu continues to
bring back customers.
5th Year for
5th Tavern
the best of everything
Raskin
T
he recently passed
5th anniversary of the
5th Tavern restaurant
marked one of the biggest
dreams an eatery can attain.
The beginning of 2020 tells
the owners and
employees what
is thrillingly in
store for them
in the new year.
It helps to
have so many
customers who
love it with
extreme passion.
Operated by partners Jerry
and Louis Sanchez … and
largest in the small chain
owned by George Lukaj, 5th
Tavern has presented them
with diners continuou
sly
crowding the eatery from
wall to wall with come-back
regularity.
Of course, being across
the street from Costco on
Telegraph Road, Bloomfield
Township, and the huge
shopping mall next to it may
have something to do with
the crowds, but dining at 5th
Tavern itself has much to do
with the reason … Case in
point, a former restaurant at
the very same location had
to close.
Another reason could be
the relaxation that comes
with such dining spacious-
ness … and the seemingly
constant additions of want-
ed items to its menu that
already has new selections
like American Kobe Burgers
made with Wagyu meat
chargrilled on a brioche bun,
black bean chipotle veg-
gie burger, zip burger with
Havarti cheese, quinoa and
kale salad, also with apples,
mandarin oranges, grapes,
chickpeas, sunflower seeds,
scallions and feta, with or
without chicken … Tuna tar-
tar, chicken marsala, mango
mahi, 20-oz. bone-in ribeye
with caramelized onions and
mushrooms, steak au poivre
and others … Eight steaks
and chops that include chef’
s
vegetable and choice of pota-
to, eight sea farin’
dishes with
potato or rice and vegetable,
12 entrees with soup or salad,
etc. … The stone-cooking
sensation by the customer is
still a much-wanted choice.
Seating is for 360 indoors
with 10 surrounding tele-
vision sets … another 120
people fit in the banquet
room … Seven-day hours
are Monday-Thursday,
11-11, Friday, 11-midnight,
Saturday, 10-midnight and
Sunday, 10-10 … Its sump-
tuous brunch is two days,
Saturday, 10-2 and Sunday,
10-3.
The front doors at 5th
Tavern are opening and clos-
ing many times more than
ever before … Going into its
sixth year, the odds are that
future will surpass even the
record amount it is having
these days.
OLDIE BUT GOODIE
… Two Jewish women were
speaking about their sons,
each of whom was in the
state prison.
The first woman says, “Oy,
my son has it so hard. He is
locked away in maximum
security. He never even
speaks to anyone or sees the
light of day. He has no exer-
cise, and he lives a horrible
life.”
The second lady says,
“Well, my son is in minimum
security. He exercises every
day. He spends time in the
prison library, takes some
classes and writes home each
week.”
“Oy,” says the first woman.
“You must get such wonder-
ful nachas (pleasure) from
your son.”
CONGRATS … To Jeff
Sharpe on his birthday … To
Selma Steinhardt on her 40th
birthday.
