With all the hundreds of places that claim to have the ''World's Greatest Burger,'' Matt's Bar is one of only a handful that might be right. Matt's has all the trappings of a great neighborhood bar: well-stocked jukebox, loyal local following, super-friendly staff and cold beer to wash it all down.

What about those hamburgers? They're all delicious, but the real star is the Juicy Lucy -- a cheeseburger with the cheese actually sealed inside the meat. The cheese forms a (very hot) pool of tasty goo inside the burger as it cooks, and you'll do well to heed the posted warnings -- "Fear the Cheese!" -- and wait a few minutes to avoid a messy burn. Matt's serves a few hundred of these legends every week, which explains another posted witticism: ''No ice, no plates ... we blew the budget on napkins.'' The bar is beer only. -- Jon Hilgers

    Awsome it has actually been some time since I have been to Matts, because I have moved a ways away . I must admit though that I have never forgotten the unique dining experience of the Juicy Lucy. A most Delicious burger, and the only burger that comes with directions on how to eat. All I can say is try it but follow the instructions

  • Who is Matt anyway?? And is he single??

    Review rating : 5out of 5   DwntwnTravlr - 05/17/2008

    This place is truly a Mpls landmark. Order a JL, fries and a drink then sit back and enjoy but don't ask for ice for your coke or expect posh surroundings, neither exists here - but who cares? This is one of those iconic neighborhood joints your grandparents, folks and friends have all been to. Matt's is well worth the trip to South Minneapolis.

  • The Nook is good but Matts is better

    Review rating : 5out of 5   Jerryfoss - 05/16/2008

    The Nook has great burgers but so do a lot of places. Matt's is unquestionably, hands down the best. If you have not had a Juicy from Matt's you have not lived. It is worth a flight if you are from out of town.
