Minneapolis has some seriously amazing five-star restaurants, but sometimes what you want is to just sink your teeth into a juicy, delicious burger. Matt's Bar & Grill is just the place to find it.
You'll find Matt's Bar & Grill at 3500 Cedar Ave S. in Minneapolis. It's been a city favorite since 1954.
When you arrive, there will be a line at the door (this photo was taken at 1:30 pm on a Friday).
Matt's is pretty much always busy, so be prepared to wait a bit for your food. Don't worry - the wait is worth it.
There's one small grill that feeds everyone in this packed joint. You can watch the cook grill up your burger from the bar.
The menu here is very limited, but that's ok because you only need to order one thing (and maybe a side of fries).
The Jucy Lucy is the signature menu item here. When they serve it to you, it looks like a regular, run-of-the-mill burger, but don't be fooled.
Cut into this bad boy, and ooey, gooey cheese oozes out.

Seriously... this burger is juicy in all the right ways.
Matt's does have a few other menu items, though we don't think anyone orders them. Someone once ordered the chicken sandwich and proclaimed it delicious. We'll take their word for it.
This place just keeps winning awards. And yes... that's former President Obama in the bottom right photo.
Matt's Bar & Grill is open Sunday - Wednesday from 11 AM to Midnight; Thursday - Saturday 11 AM to 1 AM.
