Great sports bar/tavern atmosphere, great staff, and most importantly, the food was excellent. I had the walleye with Brussels sprouts and the walleye was easily the star of the meal. Absolutely delicious. Olivia had the steak bowl and loved hers too. Everything we tried was on point. The whole place reminded me a lot of Ale Emporium back in Indy -- relaxed sports bar vibes, plenty going on, but the food is way better than typical bar food. Great vibes, great service, great food. Couldn't have asked for a better first meal after a long drive into Minnesota. We'll definitely be back next time we're in the area.

I got the…read moreBlack and bleu burger which was delightfully savory and well seasoned, and the bacon added a nice touch of crispiness. The fries are very standard but also done very well. They are crispy but not overly crunchy, and they are seasoned perfectly. You can also get some extra garlic aioli and siracha mayo, which are perfect accompaniments for the fries in addition to ketchup. I also got the strawberry milkshake, which was rich and dense, but a little too sweet. I would probably opt for a different flavor or not get the milkshake at all. The cashier I spoke with was super dope and chill, and also checked in on me to see how everything was which I appreciated. The store was clean and spacious, and accommodating for a solo dining adventure.

Lots of different options. Wife had the California. She approved I had the bacon blue. Burger was good, the bacon was too much (and I love bacon), the blue cheese seemed to be non existent and the garlic aoli seemed to short of garlic. Sweet potato fries were magnificent but the serving was small and the regular fries fine, with a large portion. If I am going to pay extra for sweet potato fries the portion should be the same as the fry portion Inside it looks like a chain. Mission accomplished. Clean, kind of mid-century modern. Fine. Service was good. Counter person was helpful. I would try it again, sans bacon

OMG, I think I'm IN LOVE…read more And this place is literally SO CLOSE to where we live now, I can walk there in just half an hour. (Probably good cuz you gotta work off the calories from those malts...) I actually saw this place advertised on a road sign for eateries to expect on the next exit. Usually those get covered in all the food chains like Taco Bell and junk, so my interest was piqued and I announced my enthusiasm to my hubbie that we try it. DELICIOUS. We arrived on a lovely sunny spring day, so we chose to dine outside on their patio area. The inside had a fun retro cafe aesthetic that I'm sure we'll enjoy during the cooler months at some point too. The staff was incredibly friendly and in a good mood, which added to my own happiness upon arrival. We were seated and given menus to study, and I do mean I had to thoroughly study it. Picking out what I wanted was TOUGH. Everything looked mouth-wateringly good, but I finally settled on the patty melt on the marbled rye with the waffle fries. Excellent choice, and it was so humongous of a portion that I ended up taking half home and reheating it in my air fryer another day. Love that! Hubbie and I shared a large chocolate malt, which they gave us two glasses to pour into. It was also delicious. All the prices seemed pretty reasonable, especially for nowadays the way the economy is. IYKYK. We're already planning the next time we'll be back! Yummy yummy in my tummy!

I felt like they nickel and dime you for the sauces. We got chicken tenders for my son off the kids menu, but it didn't include a sauce which I thought was odd. I felt for what you get a lot of it was over priced compared to some other similar restaurants. I ordered a burrito with chicken and they didn't add the rice, the veggies were not chopped very finely it was like half a red onion chunk which isn't very appetizing. For the cost of this meal it was somewhat disappointing. The fries were made fresh. The meat was the best part of this place. Maybe it's just meant to be a burger joint and not so much Mediterranean style of food.

We grabbed a seat on the patio since the weather was nice, and the staff was friendly and attentive. Service was quick, and our food arrived in a timely manner. I ordered the Sandy Signature Burger with fries. The burger had great flavor, the onions were cooked perfectly, and the cheese was melted just right. The bun held together well from start to finish, which is always a plus. At only $9 for the burger and $13.75 with fries, it felt like an excellent value and was the perfect amount of food. My wife ordered the Sandy Sizzler with tots, and here's what she had to say: "This burger was juicy and flavorful. The seasoning was spot on, enhancing the beef without overpowering it. The jalapeños added the perfect amount of heat, while the chipotle mayo brought a smoky, creamy kick that tied everything together beautifully. The crispy tots were the perfect side--golden, crunchy, and cooked well. While the portion wasn't huge, it was just the right amount to complement the burger without leaving you overly full." Overall, we were pleasantly surprised. Good food, friendly service, fair prices, and a relaxed atmosphere. We'll definitely stop back if in the area.

The serving…read morewas super small (barely enough to share, which is what we wanted to do) and my thought was that I can buy probably 10-15 lbs of potatoes for $8. This didn't measure up at all. There was just one person handling everything on a Saturday and I'm sure he was a tad overwhelmed by the time we left and the place was filling up. I asked for a knife and fork which I had to request again at the bar. What I received was a prepackaged set which barely held up. Pretty cheap...considering the $8 fries. I'm pretty sure (even though Sandy's came highly recommended) I won't be back.

I've tried the two originals,Matt's and the 5-8, and the upstart Blue Door, among others, but we may have a winner in The Nook. First off, the atmosphere is exactly what a Nook should be: small and comfortable. The service was attentive, friendly and helpful. I noticed that was all the staff not just my server. I also appreciated the obligatory warning about the melted middle of my Lucy. Speaking of which, I tried the #7 Burger (it was recommended when I asked as it had more cheese and bacon). The Burger was flavorful and perfectly cooked. The cheese cheater exploded as a good Lucy should. A 10/10 experience. The hand-cut fried added to the experience and were a great compliment to the burger The beer was cold and refreshing, the food superb, and the staff welcoming. Not much more one can ask for. I will be back that is for sure.

There were a few people waiting so I requested downstairs while my friend parked. Jamison was our waiter and got me a beer right away. I got my juicy Lucy with extra lettuce. Burger was great but not sure that was extra lettuce. Also it wasn't really hot. And it came out without the fries. I had to ask for the fries more than once . Different people brought out food and it didn't seem coordinated. The fries finally came after I was more than 1/2 way through my burger. Cole slaw was great. Loved the ambiance downstairs with all the hanging dollar bills.

Listen up: if you are visiting MN or live in MN but haven't gone to Matt's I am telling you to go…read moreat least once. This is the only place you need to go to get a Juicy Lucy. If you are a tourist please know that there more than likely will be a line. Don't act like a tourist and be attentive to moving forward as you see people leave. Us Minnesotans have this down, you cram in as much as you can and if you can't get inside you wait in the doorway (but keep the doors closed). Those who are waiting outside need to pay attention to people coming outside and move accordingly. The place is really small and crammed. It is definitely a dive restaurant. The menu is extremely small but you really should just be going to get a Juicy Lucy with pickles and fried onions, and a basket of fries (I think they are the best fries in the city). They have canned soft drinks and beer and wine (don't order wine, it's just weird). Be prepared to wait, not only will there be a line but it does take a while for your food to come out. And last but not least, take your time biting into your Juicy Lucy or you will burn your tongue!

It is a double patty with molten cheese stuffed in the middle. The basket of fries were crispy and salty and is enough for two people. It is definitely an OG dive bar so don't expect much from the aesthetics besides the burger will hit the spot. Don't bite into the burger right away. You will burn your mouth or lip from the molten cheese in the middle. We waited 3-5 minutes and it was still too hot. Be prepared to wait in line. We arrived at just the right time not to wait. This is an iconic spot for a great burger that is consistent and doesn't disappoint.
