When Jack and Lynn Shubert opened the 50’s Grill in 1985 they created an atmosphere of a bygone era with juke boxes and neon. But it was, and still is, the scratch cooking that makes their restaurant a Twin Cities memorable destination.

In the earl 90’s the added a bakery, offering cookies, cakes and pies, so diners could enjoy a treat with their meal and also take home a frosted carrot cake.

With a menu ranging from malts and burgers to chicken pot pie (their #1 seller) and turkey dinners, their business continues to thrive. They've experienced a recent boost in business via coverage from a local Facebook group – Eat Minnesota. Moderator Anthony Holznagel highlighted some of the favorite dishes he grew up eating. Well-crafted photos of the food, shared around the table with friends, reminded local foodies of 50’s Grill’s great food and service. Fond memories flooded in from diners who had grown up enjoying 50’s Grill food and treats, but who had since moved away. The post made the conversation "social" in the best way possible.

General Manager Chris Lodin noted the increase in business through within their dining room and takeout counter. With nearly 2,000 post engagements and 300 comments and 364 "shares", the Eat Minnesota post keeps the 50's Grill top of mind for diners near and far.
