I like it that nobody is confusing what this place actually is, a realDive. But it works because the food is good, and they keep the prices down by not providing plates and silverware. The burgers and fries were served fast food style on a piece of wax paper. It's worth the money every time.
Pros: food, inexpensive

This hole-in-the-wall beer joint is the home of the Jucy Lucy - the BEST cheeseburger int he world! Take 2 quarter pounders, put hot, melted cheese in the middle, and you've got the best burger ever. The atmosphere leaves something to be desired, and the bathrooms are frankly kind of scary, but the foods definately worth it! If you can get past the dim atmosphere, you're really in for a treat.

matts bar is wonderful, especially since it's smoke free now! they have the most delicious jucy lucy's around... their service is fast, and they offer mini-pints of beer for those with low alcohol tolerance too! not a great place for veggies (especially since your veggie sandwich is grilled right next to the meat), but there are options (limited). nice wait staff, typical bar scene, but great neighborhood bar. looks grungy on the outside, but worth the jucy lucy.

While Matt's is your "typical" old-fashioned neighborhood bar, there is nothing typical about its premier attraction. The "Juicy Lucy" was something I heard about when I first moved to that neighborhood in 1983. I've since moved to another part of Minnesota but every now and then I return to the cities and stop in at Matt's for truly the best burger in the Twin Cities.
Pros: Inexpensive, Nice People, Great Burgers
Cons: Parking can be tricky

The bar is smoking throughout, but I have always been able to find a non-smoky seat. (Usually near the back.) I'm not afraid to bring the kids...and they have highchairs and even sippy cups if you forget to bring your own! Our friends from California MUST go every time they're in town and their one-year old loves the fries as much as the rest of us. And the Jucy Lucy...no other burger comes close to being this perfect! Just remember, no plates, no ice.

To put it bluntly this place is a dive. The decor inside is dark and kinda grungy. It adds to the experience though. Something says special if a place doesn't need to have the gimmicks to excel.
Of course I ordered a jucy lucy. I'd never bother with anything else here. And of course it was fantastic. The fries were also top notch. I do feel that $1.25 for a can of pop was excessive. Word of warning, ration your drinks.
Pros: Great food, ambiance
Cons: drink prices
