The juicy Lucy was amazing. The fries were great too(skinny fries). I can't believe that I found such a great place with such reasonable prices. If I ever come back to the cities I will be coming back to Matt's for more

I always try to get a seat at the bar right by the grill. I don’t know about most people, but I enjoy watching the cook make the Jucy Lucy’s. (It’s like dinner and a show!) And their fries are so much better than the ones in 5-8 in my opinion. Thin and super crispy; and I’ve noticed that some cooks drizzle some of the frying oil onto the fried onions for the burgers (yum!). If you’re looking for a dive bar with greasy food, this is it!

A quintessential burger dive! It's worth the wait and the tight quarters. Known in Minneapolis for their Juicy Lucy's but we always just get the double cheeseburgers - just as tasty and without the risk of scalding the roof of your mouth with cheese. Although the Juicy Lucy is certainly worth trying at least once. We have speculated that the seasoning on their flat top grill/griddle is likely a big reason the burgers are so good! A half order of fries is more than enough for 2 people. It's definitely a no nonsense atmosphere when they're busy so if you're looking to make small talk with the wait staff then this isn't your place in our experience. They take cash only, so be prepared to have it on hand or use their ATM. There's also a Holiday gas station less than a block away with a USBank ATM. Parking is street only.

This is a destination that must be visited if you are in the area. The food was delicious and we got to sit in front of the grill by the door. So we got delicious food and got to watch a master work at his craft.

Juicy Lucy. 'Nuff said. Matt's has amazing food. It's too popular for my own good now as the last few times I've gone by on the weekend there has been a literal line out the door at meal time. Good problem for them, bad problem for me. It's worth the wait, though. Matt's is a south Minneapolis institution.

Where is the 6th star!? Always Juicy Lucy. Always slow service. Always feel at home. Another Go-To place! Also perfect for people watchers!

The Juicy Lucy was too good, forgot to take a picture before I ate it. It was delicious! It’s a small hole in the wall type bar with a really great burger and decent fries. If you have some time and you’re in the neighborhood I would stop by and grab a spot at the bar and grab a Lucy or two. This place is popular for their Juicy Lucy so there is potential for a wait. But the burger is worth the wait.

An absolutely delicious burger. The Jucy Lucy is a must try, and even though it only has pickles and onions on it, it’s kinda perfect. The fries are crisp and delicious as well. Staff was friendly and the service fast. A must try if you’re in the area.

Food was great and fresh, service was lousy and slow like usual. They need to hire more servers to clear tables and move through customers faster. Shame, cause this place could do so much more business with better service

They Literally don't have ICE. & For the prices they charge ((For A Salty American cheese ONLY Burger)) THEY SHOULD HAVE ICE.. My Review is based on the 3 of us' dinner ($40 for 3 Pops & 3 Burgers & 1 order of Fries)>> I only Like American cheese personally. But I do understand other peoples plight. Especially when they're dinning w/ me.

Juicy Lucy lives up to its reputation. However, I took one bite and the molten cheese shot out of the burger onto my clothes which took about 3 washings to get out. So that sucked, but I mean it was still definitely worth it. Dive bar feel and prices with some of the best food in town. What it lacks in upscale seating and servers, it makes up in Culture and making you feel at home. That's what it's all about right?

The Juicy Lucy is the main attraction there for a reason. They grill it to perfection every time. The fries although underseasoned go well with any beer

I was visiting a friend in Minneapolis, I flew out there to see a couple of Twins games and some sightseeing. He made sure to bring me here to try a Juicy Lucy. It was so good!! Their menu is simple and the place was popping on a weekday afternoon. The location is very small but I loved that small town corner bar feel. It was so good I had to eat there again before I flew back to California.

The Juicy Lucy was fantastic. Food prices were great, though adult beverages were a bit spendy.We each ordered a Juicy Lucy, and a basket of fries was perfect for our party of 3. Service was friendly and organized.This place is busy and the building is tiny. Be aware that you will not get seated until your whole party is present. You might be waiting for a while if it's packed. All things considered, I will definitely be going back.

First time going to the home of the Juicy Lucy! It's a quaint little bar with a minimal menu, small sitting area, and select taps; but honestly that's the best part! It's definitely your hole in the wall bar and it's perfect! Definitely get a juicy Lucy and enjoy a beverage! Cheers! ðŸ˜ðŸ˜€
