Business Summary what's this?
Matt's Bar in Minneapolis is a four star American restaurant. Here's a place to get good food. This restaurant is mildly expensive. When you step inside the restaurant, you'll notice a casual atmosphere.

I've been sporadically going to Matt's since I was a young lad. Now I'm 22 and have travelled to enough bars and enjoyed enough burgers to know that Matt's doesn't even come close to the supreme deliciousness...

No one comes close, Matt's has the best burgers hands down. No frills here, just a basket with the best burger and you can order a basket of fries. Best meal for under $5 in town.

This by far the best burger in the city. If you can't get In-n-out you must go here. The jucy Lucy's are excellent, and they have great fries.

Although this is a greasy, smoky bar, they offer a take-out option (which I always used). The Juicy Lucy burgers are 1 click shy of a "10." (Only the 5-8 club Juicy Lucy burger is better.)
