In Short – From the outside, Matt's looks like just another dark, old neighborhood corner bar sporting faded Grain Belt and Bud signs. Inside, it's just a long, skinny bar with a row of plain booths and a jukebox featuring the standard mix of classics. But legions of sports fans, families and locals make regular trips down Cedar Avenue to order thick, handmade burgers stuffed with bubbling, salty cheese and nestled against a heap of hot fries.

Awesome Jucy Lucy's!

by nenechan

Go there for the Jucy Lucy's! Two thin patties stuffed with American cheese fried on a never-been-washed flattop grill. Your choice of grilled or raw onions, no other veggies (lettuce tomatoes etc) available. What can be simpler? Wait staff is friendly, but don't forget, you're in a neighborhood bar so don't give 'em any guff and you won't git none. It's hard to get more Minneapolis than this!

  • Pros: dive bar awesomeness
  • Cons: gets very busy

The real deal!

by fuzzy67

Not a wing joint but a magical delight known as the 'jucy lucy'. You have to experience it. Cheese, meat, cheese - beautiful.

  • Pros: Jucy lucy & great fries - COLD beer
  • Cons: no wing equivalent

great bar best burgers

by 62266

My grandfather took my mom and her two sisters to MATT'S back in the 50's he drank LEINENKUGEL'S, they had JUICY LUCY burgers and shakes. I just went for the first time, great staff very nice as well as efficient. The place was packed, because of the great food, after a short wait my mom and I got seats at the bar. I had a LEINENKUGEL'S and a JUICY LUCY the place couldn't have been better.

  • Pros: the burgers can't be beat
  • Cons: not one in SEATTLE
