Imagine how good the food at the "most famous restaurant" in the entire state has to be for it to earn such a stellar reputation!

Minnesota is covered with popular restaurants that serve high-quality meals for patrons all over the state, but there is one specific spot worth elaborating upon. This establishment has not only received rave reviews from customers over the years, but is praised by chefs and food critics alike! Given its immaculate reputation, you've probably already heard of it.

According to a list compiled by LoveFood, the most famous restaurant in all of Minnesota is Matt's Bar located in Minneapolis.

Here's what LoveFood had to say about the absolute most famous restaurant in all of Minnesota:

"Yes, there are James Beard Award–winning restaurants and plenty of incredible steakhouses in the North Star State, but the most iconic food here is the Jucy Lucy or Juicy Lucy. There's a fiercely fought rivalry between Matt's Bar and The 5-8 Club over the origin of the revered burger, a thick meat patty filled with oozing melted cheese. Matt's – which has seen the likes of Barack Obama swing by for a burger – nudges it for the most well-known spot, but why not try both?"
