Matt's Bar & Grill, a beloved Minneapolis landmark, has been serving up the original Jucy Lucy since 1954. This iconic neighborhood burger eatery gained fame when founder Matt Bristol accidentally misspelled the name, but the mouthwatering combination of two beef patties oozing with molten hot cheese has made the Jucy Lucy a local culinary hero.

With numerous awards and appearances in renowned publications, including The New York Times, Matt's Bar has become a must-visit destination for burger enthusiasts. Handmade with the freshest, high-quality beef and filled with their signature cheese, each Jucy Lucy at Matt's is a flavorful experience that will leave you understanding why they proudly proclaim, "Fear the Cheese."

I can't believe I've never reviewed Matt's before. We've been going there for decades and it is just superb. A lot of places claim to have invented the Juicy Lucy, but the real point is that...

Never tried a Juicy Lucy before but I definitely love burgers and cheese. This place is somewhere nice to try once but I don't know if I am willing to wait again for another two hours to get food....
