Bill Kozlak Jr. & Staff
Jax History
In 1910, grandfather Stanley Kozlak built his business on the comer of 20th and University Avenue N.E. The building
housed his furniture, hardware, and funeral services, plus the local dance hall. Stanley was an active community member from
the beginning. He arranged passage for Polish, Russian and Slovak people to immigrate to northeast Minneapolis, where he
found them housing and jobs. When Prohibition ended in l933, Jack Dusenka obtained a liquor license for Jax Bar and Cafe
in the portion of the building where our main bar is located today. The unique spelling of Jax name is the result of the
signmaker’s recommendation. As he began to prepare the sign, he suggested using an “x” in Jack’s to give it an unusual, and
memorable, spelling.
In 1943, our grandparents, Joseph and Gertrude, purchased the cafe with its 56-person seating capacity. With just four
employees and very high standards, they set to work. In those days, Grandpa was purchasing agent, personnel director,
advertising manager and occasional cook or bartender. Grandma helped in the kitchen and developed some of the salad
dressing recipes still used today. Hard work and hospitality to their guests paid off, and began a family tradition. In just ten
years, Jax Cafe expanded to occupy the entire main floor of the present building.
In 1965, father Bill, uncles Joe and Jack purchased the family business from Joe, Sr. and Gertrude. Eventually Joe moved on
to run what was Mr. Joe’s in St. Paul. In 1979, Dad purchased the business from his brother, at which time Jack set off to open
Kozlak’s Royal Oak and Bill took full ownership responsibility at Jax. Five years later mother Kathy came on board to work
by Dad’s side. Her first accomplishment was introducing our now famous Sunday buffet brunch.This was a big step as Jax was
closed on Sundays until this time. Through hard work and patience it paid off as the community eventually accepted this change
and it is now common to serve over 300 guests each Sunday. Mom and Dad used what they learned from Joe and Gertrude to
bring Jax to the next level of dining. By adding their great knowledge of food and service and always demanding the highest
standards from their staff, they created ‘’What dining out was meant to be.” It was always very important that our guests have
a dining experience, not just a meal. Over the years, Bill and Kathy developed a very loyal and regular clientele by their hard
work and constant presence. They also made beautiful interior changes to the bar, dining room and banquet room. With their
knowledge of how to make good things happen, they introduced several special occasion events that have become Minnesota
traditions for many, such as: The Golden Strings dinner shows, Hunters’ Dinners, the famous New Year’s Eve Celebration
and many more.
Today, Jax stands as a two-story restaurant famed for its cuisine and esteemed by the community as a trusted friend. In keeping
with family tradition, we are the third Kozlak generation happy to serve you.
