No matter where you are located, this burger is worth the trip! Prepare to meet the top contender for the best classic hamburger in Minnesota.
According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the best classic hamburger in Minnesota is served at Matt's Bar in Minneapolis.
Here's what LoveFood had to say about the eatery that serves the best classic hamburger in the state:
"Two Minneapolis establishments lay claim to the invention of the state's signature hamburger, which stuffs cheese inside the patty. But it's Matt's Bar's version, the Jucy Lucy, that stays true to its roots, with only a single type of cheese used as the melty stuffing. It's greasy and messy once you bite into it (the molten American cheese oozes right out), but that's precisely what makes it so special."
