What Happened? – Went to Matts today to celebrate Mothers Day. It was the first Mothers Day since my Moms death in Jan.. I've always loved Matts for the friendly service and great burgers but was so dissapointed today. Our waitress was rude and condescending, as was the bartender. The food was good but went to use the restroom and found it unkept and a little disgusting. I realize the ambience of Matts is it's simple menu and relaxed atmosphere but this was too much. Won't be going back for a long time if ever. The last time... read more
Good food, but service and friendliness has really gone downhill .... – I was at Matt's last night for the first time in several years. The place is full of nostalgia for me - I've gone there many times after rehearsals or shows. In the past, the staff was always friendly and welcoming - - after all, we're a group that brings in a lot of business. Last night, however, I couldn't believe how rude and confrontational the waitress was! Someone with us simply commented that their "one ticket per group" policy (no matter the size... read more
Amazing Juicy Lucy's – They have the best juicy lucy's I've ever had. The cheese inside is very tasty. The fries are very good and they give you a lot for your money. Great dive bar that has an old school feel to it. Limited seating so get there early.
good food, not the best service – the food is low price, good classic american burgers and fries but nothing special. i went on a Sunday around 5 and it was packed! there was only one server and one bar tender/server/food preparer. so the service was lacking. probably wouldn't go back unless i was hungry and in the neighborhood.
Dont change a thing – We recently visited Matt's for the first time in a couple of years and had a great time. Come for the juicy lucy, and stay for the cheap beer. The staff and patrons, many of who were obviously regulars, were friendly, I could have stayed all day!
Classic juicy! – There are many that claim their "Lucy" as the original - but we didn't really go looking for the original - just a great burger and this is one of the best! A great corner joint that gets you in and out without worrying about the frills! (This means that you shouldn't expect plates, just baskets and wax wrap) You don't have to worry about how to eat the specialty, they always make sure you know the rules so you don't get hurt.
Devine dive burger – If you are looking for a fancy burger or the typical california blt burger look elsewhere. If you want ambience, forget it, unless of course you are like me and love to drink grain belt in a dive bar. This is a bar burger, and it is a darn good one at that. Yes, it is greasy, heart-clogging food, but when you crave the molten cheese with the onions, you have to have it. I used to live over on Longefellow by Matt's, but even now that I live in Saint Paul, I try to get over there when the craving hits.
Jucy Lucy and the Fries are Awesome! – Matt's Bar has the best burgers and fries in the Twin Cities! I rarely eat a lot of meat, much less hamburgers. I would order pasta over a burger any day, however, I find myself craving Jucy Lucy's! The fries are great- always hot and fresh, just-right crispy, plus you get a huge basket of them. The hamburgers and grilled cheese are good but nothing compares to the Jucy Lucy. It has a liquid cheese center that I find myself craving every couple of months. The atmosphere is great, it is ... read more
Average- Way better burgers – In talking to people, this place elicits mixed reviews like no-other. People either love it or think it is medicore. I am in the latter category. The bun is nothing special, just a regular bun. The Burger- a "Juicy Lucy" is fine. But both times I have ordered them they can have come back to burnt for my liking. The fries are average. I was excited when I heard about this place- But not even close to the best in the Twin Cities.
