The Juicy Lucy was by far, the sluttiest and most scrumptious burger I've ever tasted. I asked the man for bacon, he said "nahh, too fancy." He delivered me this masterpiece served between two buns. It didnt need anything added to it at all. I came all the way from Mississippi to Minnesota and was told this was a staple that I had to try. 100000/10 stars. & the dueling toilets in the bathroom? Hilarious. Loved every second in this establishment.

The famous juicy lucy! Honest opinion wish it had more taste to it. It tasted very bland, the cheese and the meat. the bun wasn’t even warmed up. I was expecting WAYYYY more in taste for the $10 and some change price. I won’t be back, I’ll try somewhere new for a juicy Lucy next time. The amount of fries is great for $8 and some change. It was disappointing.

I finally made it to Matt’s bar to check out the “Original” Jucy Lucy. Hamburger was great, as expected. Fries were shoestring and were perfect and delicious. Service was great. I went on a Monday afternoon and we sat down right away and were eating in about 20 minutes. This really is more of a restaurant now. Because of the food, there is a LOT of turnover and it’s mostly food tourists. Even on a Monday. IDK if the kitchen closes, but maybe it turns more into a bar after that. The signs posted everywhere basically say “Others are waiting to be seated”. While there wasn’t a line when we were there, I’m sure there is when it’s weekend busy. Good prices. They could be charging much more based on demand. Lastly, cash only. There is an ATM on site with a $2 charge if you forget. Great food

Matt's Bar's home of the original Jucy Lucy! Be prepared to stand in line for a table it's slam jammed packed or hit up the bar if open, but it's well worth it. This was my favorite out of the three places I tried a juicy lucy. I love the atmosphere in this place. It's a dive, with the feeling that it's filled with townsfolk who just got done doing whatever they do. I'm not a jucy lucy connoiseur, but Matts has an awesome one best flavors and seasoning out of the three that was the deciding factor for me.The fries are average Frozen out of a bag, they have huge bowl for a descent pricer tho... the service is fine, you're probably not going to get asked how your week has been, but you'll get some awesome grub! 100% recommend!

This place is everything that you hear about and more! I have been wanting to go here for over a decade since I heard about it. The fact that they have "The Jucy Lucy" is only part of the charm. I had a expectation about the burgers but I was totally blown away and it far exceeded and expectations I had. The burger it juicy and delicious! The fries are a great addition to the main event but do listen when they tell you to wait a couple of minutes before digging in to the simple and delicious burger. They will pop and you might get some on you, you have been warned 😂 I will try to get back before I leave MN and get another Jucy Lucy! Thank you to the staff for everything. You're the best and loved hearing about the place and your stories
