A unique place.March 2024 Update: the Jucy Lucy used to be juicier when we visited a few years ago, and now it was a bit dry on the outside.

This place is famously known as the home of the "Jucy Lucy" (or "Juicy Lucy"), a burger that has earned iconic status among locals and visitors alike. This casual eatery offers a quintessential dive bar experience with a straightforward, unpretentious vibe that focuses squarely on serving up delicious, hearty fare.The Jucy Lucy itself is the star of the menu—an ingenious burger with cheese melted inside the beef patty instead of on top, leading to a gooey core that’s both surprising and satisfying. Eating this burger is a must-try Minneapolis experience; just be cautious as the first bite can release hot, molten cheese. Matt’s rendition is often lauded for its perfect cheese-to-meat ratio and the flavorful beef patty that's seared to a crispy exterior.The setting at Matt's is typical of a traditional bar, with a cozy and somewhat nostalgic atmosphere that complements its simple yet satisfying menu. Besides their famous burger, they serve a range of classic bar foods and beverages, making it a great spot for a casual meal in a laid-back environment.Service at Matt's is friendly and efficient, with a local charm that makes everyone feel welcome. It's a great place to dive into the local culture, enjoy a piece of Minneapolis culinary history, and just have a good time with good food.

Good food

The Lucy Jucy was good and be careful it was extremely hot as they basically put cheese between two Patty's. It retains heat like a yeti thermos. Cool vibe in this place.

Incredible small bar with amazing food on the grill. Atmosphere is cool as it is a small corner grill with old vibes but the jucy lucy is worth the trip. Takes skill to eat but is well worth it.

Who doesn't love a tasty burger? I see why it's packed often. I got a kick out of the sign that says no plates, no ice, we spent all our money on napkins. It's a total vibe.

the original home of the juicy lucy. i have been dining here since the 70s. still have my vintage matt's tshirt. the burgers and fries are outstanding. sometimes there is a wait but always worth it. the service and the people are great. they even have picks of obama enjoying the place on the wall. really cool. update: went for a visit 4-8-24. it was not busy but we waited a particularly long time for our food. we watched the server give burgers to people that arrived long after we did before we got ours. not the best experience this timeParking: street parking is always available nearby
