GA review – see WP:WIAGA for criteria

  1. Is it well written?
    A. The prose is clear and concise, and the spelling and grammar are correct:  
    The article-subject is placed well within the local Minnesota/Upper-Midwestern culture.
    B. It complies with the manual of style guidelines for lead sections, layout, words to watch, fiction, and list incorporation:  
    Was unable to find any WP:MOS issues.
  2. Is it verifiable with no original research?
    A. It contains a list of all references (sources of information), presented in accordance with the layout style guideline:  
    No problems found.
    B. All in-line citations are from reliable sources, including those for direct quotations, statistics, published opinion, counter-intuitive or controversial statements that are challenged or likely to be challenged, and contentious material relating to living persons—science-based articles should follow the scientific citation guidelines:  
    C. It contains no original research:  
    D. It contains no copyright violations nor plagiarism:  
    Ran the copyvio tool and couldn't find any.
  3. Is it broad in its coverage?
    A. It addresses the main aspects of the topic:  
    I especially like the focus of this article. It's a small subject - a little place that serves a local specialty-food - and I find it refreshing that it gets its due alongside world events. Daily life is made up of these small things, it is a good thing for Wikipedia to remember them and for them to get their due.
    B. It stays focused on the topic without going into unnecessary detail (see summary style):  
    Placed the restaurant within the local history but also pretty much stayed with the Juicy Lucys & Saucy Sallys.
  4. Is it neutral?
    It represents viewpoints fairly and without editorial bias, giving due weight to each:  
    Differing from most other articles of this type (laying claim to being the originator of a specialty-food) this article even mentions that there is another claimant - Matt's Bar - to the "Juicy Lucy/Jucy Lucy" throne.
  5. Is it stable?
    It does not change significantly from day to day because of an ongoing edit war or content dispute:  
    None that I have seen.
  6. Is it illustrated, if possible, by images?
    A. Images are tagged with their copyright status, and valid fair use rationales are provided for non-free content:  
    B. Images are relevant to the topic, and have suitable captions:  
    Nice job with the images.
  7. Overall:
    Pass or Fail:  
    Fascinating food/culture/"common man" history/pop-culture subject given its due in this concise article. I especially liked the bits about how the location started as a speakeasy during Prohibition (the underground garage so the then-owners could deal with their illicit booze). In my opinion, this is a little article that is very good in its own way. Others may differ and will probably think of additional improvements in the future, I am unable to do so at this time.
