Note: DO BRING CASH, that’s all they accept. There’s an ATM machine inside which will charge you 2 USD per transaction. Notablt, cash is really how they make more money. Most people (including me) don’t bother getting the change, ending up paying 20-30% more than the actual price. Food: People come here for the “famous Jucy Lucy”, a burger whose patty is filled with cheese. The burger is served with chopped onions and pickles. In my opinion the cheese is not hard enough, and as you bite on the burger, it all comes out melted and liquid. I could barely taste the onions. The bread became all thin and squashed half way through. Fries are just fries. Service: it was nice, people do care. Atmosphere: definitely over crowded, not very clean. I was surprised not to smell of burgers when I came out, which means ventilation is working. Overall, worth the experience but I’d never go back. Food: 2 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 3

Don't come here looking for a salad. This is a great neighborhood place that is all about burgers and fries. Mainly the original Jucy Lucy. Nothing fancy, just unpretentious flavorful burgers with American cheese. If you have not been here, definitely add it to your bucket list. Both 5-8 and Matt's claim to be the original home of the Lucy, but Matt's wins, no contest. Pro tip: Get there right after they open or plan to wait standing by the entrance if it is busy and there are no open tables. You could also try to check Google maps for when they are less busy to shorten the wait. Pro tip 2: The full basket of fries is huge. More than enough for 2 hungry people unless you want to eat copious amounts of fries! Pro Tip 3: Wait a few minutes to bite into your Jucy Lucy. To pass the time, eat a bunch of those fries you ordered and drink some beer to let that thing cool down or you will be biting into hot cheese lava! Even after waiting, that first bite may not burn you, but it will be juicy and expect some of that delightful greasy cheese to ooze out and make a mess! Pure Gold!!

It's been 40 years since I've had a Juicy Lucy at Matt’s. Glad this placed has perservered through the years. Food was great. Service was great. It as a full house for a Wednesday night but the wait wasn't too long—maybe 15 minutes. Matt”s only accepts cash but they have an ATM machine. Parking is street parking however don't park too far away especially at night—not sure how safe the neighborhood is. The restrooms are in the basement. They're clean, but let's just say I'll skip the restroom next time. All in all, a very good experience. Sorry I waited 40 years. Love Minnesota!

Note:Cash only. ATM fee is $2. Burgers were as advertised - juicy! Served with pickles and grilled onions. Ambiance - dark and cozy. We sat at the bar by the door but with the double door system we weren’t cold at all. Digital jukebox. We sat near the griddle and were able to see them work their magic. Definitely a must try when in the area. With local beers on tap. Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4 Recommended dishes Jucy Lucy and Fries
