Matt's Bar

Order yourself a juicy Lucy . You can't go wrong. A half order of fries is more than plenty for a couple people. Also, this place is cash only too so plan ahead.

Come to me, beautiful molten cheese center. Make sure to wait a minute before chowing on your Jucy Lucy (or just cut it in half) and order a refreshing Grain Belt Premium while you wait.

Love the Juicy Lucy ! Let it sit a bit before digging in or you'll burn your mouth for sure. Ask for a bowl of pickles too. Yum!! The waitress works very hard and is great, treat her well :-)

What was that??? Excellent burger , delicious fries and awesome price! This Jucy Lucy is from another world! You have to try it! I would have eaten 2 if I had the time!

What a great atmosphere. I had a juicy Lucy and it was so good. The staff was very friendly . #Mat’sBar #Jucylucy #Longfellowneighborhood #

Jucy Lucys are south Minneapolis's contribution to world cuisine, made by crimping two beef patties together around a hunk of cheese and grilling until the cheese inside reaches molten temperatures. Read more

Sit at the end of the bar near the entrance if you want to watch the magic come together!

Of course you come here for the Jucy Lucy, and it doesn't disappoint. But the fries are also excellent, and there's a decent draft beer selection . The ambiance is easygoing neighborhood bar classic.

Amazing Juicy Lucy 's! I recommend getting it with the fried onions and sharing a basket of fries .

The servers work hard, so you will endear yourselves if you are quick and organized with your order. 3 Jucy Lucys w/ grilled onions . Large order of friends. 3 Grain Belts . Done. Cash only . Pay at bar .

There aren't many options at this old-school Powderhorn burger joint : just good old cheese-filled burgers , fried onions optional. Beware: the cheese can burn. [Eater 38 Member] Read more

Juicy Lucy with 1/2 order of fries - enough for 2. Wait a couple of minutes before taking a bite as the melted cheese will burn your mouth.

You HAVE to get a Jucy Lucy (or 2). The fries are thin and crispy and delicious. A large order can feed three people. Pop is sold by can. Great food, great prices.

The Juicy Lucy is everything you've been told, delicious and the cheese will burn a hole through your tongue if you're not careful. Yet even for a dive bar , the service was lacking big time!

The Juicy Lucy is amazing! Life changing experience! You can't eat just one! But wear a sweater because it's kind of cold inside.

Great cozy little place for a delicious burger . The juicy lucy was definitely lived up to the talk. Wait until later, though, to get your grub. Line gets long for a table.

The Jucy Lucy is internationally known. Your server will tell you to wait for a bit before diving in and you better listen because there is molten hot cheese deep inside your burger . Read more

No frills food ...Beers and Burgers . Also 1 basket of fries is plenty for 2 people to share. Also be sure to bring cash as they don't take credit cards (there is an ATM on site if you forget).

Matt's delicious Juicy Lucys and generous baskets of hot fries are quickly served to and enjoyed by ALL... Even his ADD patrons, who just might hit submit prior to proof-reading their last post.

The Jucy Lucy more than lived up to expectations. Setting perfectly divey. Burger perfectly cheesy.

No words or pictures can express the goodness. Just come and eat the Jucy Lucy. It is amazing ????

Got lucky, didn't have to wait too long and sat at the counter. You can see all the grease- kind of an awesome view , especially knowing you're about to eat the burgers !

If you inject a Jucy Lucy with ketchup insure that you knock the ketchup down to the tip and excise air BEFORE you inject your Jucy.

There are few things on the menu, so you know they make them well . The Lucy Lucy gets all the hype (deservedly so), but the fries are spectacular!

Everything is great! The burgers obviously are great, but the fries are also good too. Plus the overall vibe of the place is awesome!

The "Juicy Lucy " is the real deal and deserves all the hype it receives. I highly recommend giving this a try

The president ate here, so it must be good... right? The legendary jucy lucy (no 'i'!) is a must get for Minneapolitans and visitors alike.

Beware of the lava, otherwise known as the cheese inside your Juicy Lucy . Unless you actually enjoy trips to the Hennepin County Hospital for first degree burns.

Habds down the best Juicy-Lucy in town , only to be rivaled by it's super, generous, skinny, crunchy and flavorful fries !

Out-of-towners & newbies-part 2: Bring cash or card for the ATM on site; with your Jucy order make your onion choice: none, fried, or my favorite raw; and pop comes in a can, no ice so don't ask :)

There will be a line . Cash only . Order extra fries if you’re sharing.

Don't miss a Jucy with fried onions and basket of fries and Matt's unique atmosphere--it hasn't chg'd in forever, which is why we love it. Don't believe the 5-8, this is the true Jucy Lucy!

Two people can share a basket of fries , no problem. A basket is twice the size of a Juicy Lucy .

The juicy Lucy is great, however make sure you come with plenty of time to wait as the line can go out the door and down the building!

Matt’s Bar is a must-visit, and claims to be the birthplace of the iconic Jucy Lucy, an intentionally misspelled cheese-stuffed burger . Read more

If you're hanging with friends, get a table near the back. Relax and wait for your Juicy Lucy to cool off.

Amazing food slightly hidden away in the neighborhood . I wandered around after a party and found myself there, suddenly, with a delicious burger in front of me.

Juicy Lucy ! And the basket of fries . Pitcher of Grain Belt Premium.

You have to try the Juicy Lucy , and I would recommend coming in on a non peak hour unless you want to wait in line .

Great burgers , atmosphere and service. I'll be back next time I'm through MSP.

Go here for the best Juicy Lucy ! Obama-approved! Super nice and friendly staff but cash only !

Cash only , lines can be long but it goes fast. Must get the OG Lucy Jucy!

Juicy Lucy 's are always the talk, but these place has some BOMB fries and grilled cheese too.

Cash only . Jucy Lucy was delicious. Pickles are included inside the burger , though. Not a fun surprise.

Great burgers , fries and cold beer . Relaxed atmosphere . Worth the wait if you come on a busy night.

The Jucy Lucy is KING. Nothing better than these burgerz. If you haven't experienced it. Do it!

The Jucy Lucy is a must have burger in Minneapolis.

I've been a customer since 88, and Steve the "new (98)" owner does not disappoint. A regional authentic classic bar & grill

On Man v Food, Adam Richman stops in for Matt's Bar's version of the Jucy Lucy (a cheeseburger with the cheese inside the burger , instead of on top).

Order a cold can of root beer to have on hand in case of third-degree Juicy Lucy cheese burns.
