Matt's Bar

I’m in shock that I’ve never reviewed this place. If you are anywhere near the twin cities and have never had the original Juicy Lucy, drop whatever you’re doing and head to Matt’s. Go with at least one other person, both of you should order a Juicy Lucy and split an order of fries. Fair warning, the food takes a while to come out and the establishment is cash only. My top recommendation for Minnesota hands down.

Came here for the famous Jucy Lucy but was shocked by the ultra long and slow moving line right as you enter. There are a number of open tables but staff are struggling to bus tables and clear up the line so expect at least a 20 minute wait during peak meal times. The burger itself is just slightly above average - there’s a burst of cheese once you hit the centre but besides that I thought it was a bit too overdone. I do appreciate the sports bar atmosphere and crowd.

FIVE STARS!! ⭐ The Jucy Lucy's🍔 are a MUST try, Outstanding in fact! The fries are really great too! A total dive bar that should be in the definition of Minneapolis. lol The atmosphere is so cool and I couldn't believe how amazing the service was. Our server was 'on point' with everything! She even asked if people wanted onions so there wouldn't be any surprises when we got our Jucy Lucy's. We brought some family from CA and they were so impressed with everything. THANK YOU Matt's Bar and Grill! ♥️🍔♥️

The home of the legendary Jucy Lucy! This is a super unique and culturally significant restaurant / bar -- just be prepared to wait in line! There are no online reservations: It's first come first serve. Assuming you have the time, it's well worth the wait! The Jucy Lucy is as delicious as advertised, but you should be aware that a super hungry person should plan to order 2 -- the burgers aren't that big. Additionally, be sure to give the cheese some time to cool off, otherwise you may burn your mouth!

CASH ONLY This place has some real good burgers and frys we had the juicy lucy and some frys 5/5 hot and fresh made to order. There was about a 30min take out wait and 1hr for seating so we did take out. Place is a bar with table booths and was very packed, bar had a odd smell like old modly something couldnt put my finger on it, but youll smell it as soon as you walk in, i give that atmosphere 2 of 5. Kind servers and cool cook tip your servers they are nice!

My kinda place - Simple, friendly, great iconic story and home of the Jucy Lucy! Must admit I'm a rookie on how to eat the iconic JL. They tell you to wait to eat the burger- well I thought I did and its exploded!! I had hot cheese spew on me and around me lol 😂 Fries and the Grain Belt beer was excellent. Must experience for Minneapolis.

I've always heard Matt's is the place to go for the best original juicy Lucy, and it lived up to the hype! We got takeout from here during COVID and it was slightly disappointing. Glad we went back to try the burgers because they were so much better with dine in! This was definitely one of the top two juicy Lucy's in the cities. There are no frills or toppings beside grilled onions, but it is the best "plain" burger you'll ever have. It was crazy busy on a Sunday afternoon and we had to wait a while for a table and a long time to order and get the food. But it was fresh off the grill and the fries were incredible (and very salty). The dark and grimy interior was perfect vibes for a burger place. Cash only! There's plenty of street parking around the building.
