Always wanted to see whose Juicy Lucy was the best. Girlfriend & I decided to try Matt's first, but didn't even get the opportunity. Went during off hours, only to find a line going out the door. The guy at the bar then barked at me, "READ THE GREEN SIGN ON THE DOOR!" For starters, who notices all the signs (especially somewhere they've never been before)? I can understand trying to keep it cool, but when it's high 60's/low 70's you're going to try and embarrass a potential customer about not keeping the door closed? Turned ... read more

Gimme a BIG BURGER – Big juicy burgers and hot fries. Can't do this everyday. But when I can indulge this is where you will find me.

Jucy Lucy! – A friend and I flew to Minneapolis a couple weekends back and we had heard that Matt's Bar served an award-winning Jucy Lucy burger. So we took a taxi to this place and it was really crowded. It was a Friday afternoon and the place was packed like most places would be on a Saturday night. We stood in a crowded line, waiting for a table to open up. I told my friend that this burger had better be worth the wait...and let me tell you, it is. The Jucy Lucy was unlike any other burger I've ever had. The cheese is ins... read more

Ex Custoemr – The customer service at Matt's is horrible. This is a small "greasy spoon" place that serves burgers that are over rated. And to top it off, the service is bad! it's not worth the burger!

worth the calories – An iconic place. One must experience the juicy lucy at least once. Matt's is not much for ambience, in fact none to speak of, but stand in line to enjoy one calorie loaded, decadent hamburger! Add to your bucket list,quite memorable.

Really??? – Going to this place was definitely an experience to say the least. We of course went there and had the "oh so famous" jucy lucy, and it was decent. Not amazing, not bad, just decent. If you've never been to this place before, here's what to expect. There is usually a waiting line to be seated and it was out the door and around the corner when we were there. It probably took us close to an hour to get thru the line and I definitley saw a lot of other customers come and then get frustrated at the length of the line... read more

MN History – This place is a piece of MN history. Great little neighborhood bar. The menu couldn't be simpler, and everything on it is worth trying. There is always a little competition between this place and others for the best Jucy Lucy (spelled differently depending on where you go). And Matt's wins, hands down. I know. I made the rounds.

Different – This is a no thrills bar with a "Kiss My Gritt's" attitude from the staff The noon lunch hour is a mad house. People standing in line waiting for others to leave which is great for Matts but having to sit there eating looking at Butts and people pushing into you while your trying to enjoy the JL. The burger is great hands down but I prefer thicker fri's. The tap beer I had to choke down because I didn't want to upset the bartender because she was so over worked tasted nasty! Plus, and this upset me. They don't ta... read more
