P.S.A. To all Tourist DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME GOING HERE, it’s is not worth the 45 minute wait on top of the 30 minute you wait to get your over cooked bland burger.

I never leave reviews but visiting this place finally brought me to leaving one. By far the worst burger I have ever been fed. The burger was wildly over cooked a dry hockey puck with I mean absolutely no Salt or Pepper a heaping pile of flavorless onions and way to many pickles.
The only saving grace was their fries they had McDonald style fry’s and that’s also where their Salt budget for the burgers went towards.
Quite possibly the most unorganized business I’ve ever visited. I don’t know how and why people even bother coming here.
I’d really prefer to leave 0 stars but google won’t left me.

If it was left alone as a hole in the wall dive bar and just killing their fake ass popular burger shit it probably would make a really cool place to grab some beers.

Amazing little dive with food. The wait time is just so long but that's not their fault it's just so small for how popular it is

I have been to Matt's several times. This time I was highly disappointed. The Jucy Lucy was small, overcooked, overpriced and not jucy. Won't take my out of town guests there anymore.

Known for their “Jucy Lucy” which are 2 Patties with cheese cooked inside. My family that lives here likes the Jucy Lucy and especially the fries from here. During the summer they say there are long lines out the door. We can here in December and it was pretty busy for a week night. They only accept cash or checks, no card. We were lucky and got seated quickly, service was also quick and I asked for a beer that goes well with it. My sister in law got a chicken sandwich and I put her lettuce in my Jucy Lucy. Beware to not bite into it quickly because the cheese squirts out. Every bite I took the cheese indeed came out and burned me. Their fries are really good. I opted to keep the pickles and onions in the burger which I enjoyed. It was nice inside and they still had Christmas decorations making it feel like a Christmas bar. There’s some street parking outside

Where do I even begin?! Out of the several times I’ve been to Minnesota for work or pleasure, I always seem to find Matt’s Bar on the top of my itinerary list. Whether if it’s going directly there from the airport or three days into my stay that I will most definitely find my way back.

I think the simplicity of Matt’s Bar “Jucy Lucy” has me coming back over and over again. It’s just a good ole plain burger but it’s executed so well. The cheese stuffed burger patty is definitely the star of the show. Top it off with an extra slice of cheese if you’re feeling cheesy. The chopped grilled onions, pickles and a dollop of ketchup goes a long way when you do it like Matt’s Bar. And cooking burgers on the same grill for many many moons just keeps the flavor coming.

If you haven’t been, keep in mind when you first visit, I know you’ll be extremely excited but be careful on that first bite or you will surely burn yourself! The cheese is smoldering hot!!

Make sure to pay them a visit. It’s a beautiful experience every foodie must try. The staff is super friendly. You can buy merch like t shirts and stickers and such. But most importantly get down there to bite into a cheese filled oozing burger. I promise you won’t be let down.

Nobody does it like the original. Props to the chef for cranking out that many burgers from a 3*2 foot grill. Your the man!

Just go and grab yourself a juicy Lucy. If that doesn't quench your hunger, just eat some more burgers. It's very low-priced.

Absolutely loved my experience at Matt’s Bar. The staff was friendly - the grill master and I were gabbing. I highly recommend sitting by the grill and watching the master at work.

If you like dive bars this place is top notch! I’ll be going back next time I’m in the twin cities!!
