Good local bar with really good bar food. They claim to be the original juicy lucy. They are really good. Not huge but good. Careful of the full order of fries, it’s a lot! But they are good too. Typical local bar atmosphere but it didn’t smell bad and people were friendly.

The original. The best. No frills. No nonsense. They know what we want. Juicy Lucy, fries for the table, and beer. Loved the hazy IPA.

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.

Loved Matt’s Bar. Prices were reasonable. Food was delicious. Thought we were going to have to wait 40 minutes for cooking time, but I think our food was ready in 20 minutes. Fries were a huge order but the waitress was kind enough to let us know when we ordered. Only negative is my non burger eating daughter didn’t like anything on the menu so she had fries and soda for lunch. She missed out on a delicious burger! Bar looks to not have been updated ever, but it’s charming. No table big enough for our party of 9, so we sat 2 tables near each other in the way back. Would definitely recommend and try again if we return to the area.

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.

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.

FIVE STARS!! ⭐ The Juicy 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! ♥️ ♥️

This place is absolutely worth all the hype. The jucy lucy is unforgettable. It comes with grilled onions and pickles, which you should keep on the burger to get the full experience. Although Matt’s is busy, they keep the lines moving. I was in and out in about an hour. The fry portions are large, so go with the half order. Parking is available on the street.

Great place with good food. It is a little tight in there but the one server was doing everything to keep up, covering all the tables. Nice little hole in the wall feel, with dark atmosphere but plenty of friendly people.
