Matt's Bar and Grill

"It was okay. Food grade gloves are imperative. My burger had a weird rubber taste. I was like, this sort of tasty funny, so I looked over at the grill and noticed the gloves which did not appear to be food grade and that explained the taste. The fries were perfect and fresh. I wanted to love the juicy Lucy, unfortunately, it was just greasy and lacked flavor. I would recommend giving them a try, as it was at least an experience."

"It’s perfection on a bun. Bring cash, prepare for a wait that looks longer than it is, a tap list that’s better than you’d expect and enjoy. No need to debate the menu, because you’re getting a Juicy Lucy and fries and you’ll be so glad you did. Don’t pass on the chance to sit at the bar — perfect vibes with great service at this must-visit classic."

"The Jucy Lucy is worth trying at least once as it’s pretty good. The fries are decent too like fries from a typical fast-food establishment. Just be aware that wait times can be long since it’s very popular and it’s cash-only."

"It's been 40 years since I've had a Juicy Lucy at Matt’s. Glad this placed has perservered through the years. Food was great. Service was great. It as a full house for a Wednesday night but the wait wasn't too long—maybe 15 minutes. Matt”s only accepts cash but they have an ATM machine. Parking is street parking however don't park too far away especially at night—not sure how safe the neighborhood is. The restrooms are in the basement. They're clean, but let's just say I'll skip the restroom next time. All in all, a very good experience. Sorry I waited 40 years. Love Minnesota!"

"This was the best Juicy Lucy we had in Minneapolis! We came in and it looked like there would be a wait, but we were able to sit at the bar right away. The service was quick and excellent. The place was decorated for the holidays, warm, and casual. We got to watch the cook make the burgers. They came out molten hot, but thankfully the full order of fries is massive and delicious so we worked on that. We bit on the end of the burger to let the cheese cool off. It was simply delicious. We loved that the cheese stayed inside of the burger, and didn’t squeeze out the other side, which was not our experience at another spot. The burger had a nice cook. The pickles and ketchup were great. We will absolutely be back any time we come to Minneapolis, and will be recommending to everyone."
