About Matt's Bar and Grill

Matt's Bar and Grill is a cozy, classic bar known for its famous Juicy Lucy, which features 2 patties with cheese cooked inside. The restaurant has a nostalgic feel, with stories ingrained into the wood and a slightly sticky table surface. It offers a great burger experience, especially when paired with their really good shoestring fries. Customers praise the fantastic burgers and French fries, noting the small place has an authentic food and friendly service. The atmosphere includes low lighting and the smell of grease in the air, creating a nostalgic vibe. Inside, there are Christmas decorations that give the place a warm, festive feel. During busy times, there can be long lines, especially in the summer, and even on weeknights in December, the place can get quite crowded. The restaurant only accepts cash or checks, so visitors should be prepared; there’s an ATM on-site with a small fee if needed. Service is quick, and staff often recommend taking small bites and letting the burger cool before eating, as the cheese can squirt out and burn. The place has a lot of turnover, mainly attracting food tourists, and signs suggest others are waiting to be seated, especially on weekends. Parking is available on the street. The Juicy Lucy remains a must-try for burger lovers, offering a flavor explosion well worth the wait.
