While walking along Tennyson, I noted the nice selection of dining options, but it was the wonderful aroma of burgers that lead me straight to Lucy's Burger Bar. As Lucy's is known for their stuffed burgers, I went with The Juicy Lucy and a half order of fries. The burgers are made with a 76/24 blend and stuffed with cheese, onions, and pickles. There are plenty of add-ons (tomato, lettuce, pepperoncini, bacon, even an egg), but go easy as these burgers are seriously indulgent and filling. The skinny fries were fabulous (you can't have just one). My order arrived quick AND hot. The burger was good and as promised, juicy. Definitely recommend indulging in a cocktail too. Lucy's infuses their vodka so check out the Cherry Spritz (it isn't quite as tart as the name implies) or the pineapple flavored Lucy's Spritz. Beer and wine are served as well as Pepsi products. read more

I didn't want to leave a bad review at a local place, so I messaged the owner sharing my experience, but they chose to completely ignore me, so here goes. My wife and I popped in to try it out and got the classic stuffed burgers. The burgers were almost 20 bucks each with no sides, which would be fine if they were exceptionally tasty or high-quality, but they tasted as if they came from the frozen section at Walmart. The stuffed cheese was barely existent, and I was charged for adding lettuce and tomatoes. Wtf? The fries were good, but they were clearly from a giant frozen bag, so charging extra for them seems crazy considering the burgers were almost 20 bucks. When it was all said and done, we paid over 80 dollars for two mediocre (borderline bad) burgers, one side of fries to share, a Bloody Mary, and a cheap canned beer. We left with with a very bad taste in our mouth both literally and figuratively. The only saving grace was that the server was very friendly and nice. That's the second star. Also, we chose this place because we had some cash on the in-kind app, but when we went to pay, they said they had changed POS systems, so they were essentially engaging in false advertising. They did give us a drink coupon, but we won't be back ever. read more

Very friendly vintage style cafe with excellent burgers and fries. Service was prompt and food was hot. Signature burgers are cheese filled and very juicy (comes with eating instructions)! I'd give it 5 stars but we thought it was a little pricey for burgers and fries! read more

Very disappointed with my first trip to Lucys. I, like many have had the original Juicy Lucy in Minnesota and it was fantastic. While I loved the ambiance of Lucy's in Denver, the actually cheese stuffed burger was a major fail. First of all I didn't even see any cheese oozing out of the pattie once I bit into in. The patty was dry and the roll was over toasted and a bit stale. I am still wondering where the cheese was. Fries just totally medicore sad to say. No tap beers. Nor a fan of the automatic tip which our waitress told us about when we ordered. There also was another fee for cost of living or something. Sorry but I don't like these auto extras on my bill and its a complete turn off so I won't be going back. 2 burgers, 2 beers, 1/2 order of fries ...77.00$. Buyer beware. read more

Honestly, so good! We will definitely be returning. Plus the service was so friendly and fast. We took to go, so can't speak on the ambiance necessarily.... But a great go-to step up from fast food for sure! read more

Lucy's Burger Bar - Burgers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Lucy's was a cool, one and done, burger bar. Despite its small size, you can cram a lot of folks inside, lol. The wait staff was kind and friendly. The cocktails were what'd you'd expect, in terms of taste. This is where the "good stuff" ends. If you read no further and still wanna go, be ready to take out a small loan for your burger and fries meal. If you're still with me and curious, the short story is that Lucy's is *incredibly* overpriced - as in, are you kidding me?, overpriced. And props to the many Yelpers who've also called this out. We looked at the pics and didn't do our due diligence with reviews. Lesson learned. We just at a reservation only steakhouse and paid as much. Let that sink in. Anyway, here's what we ordered: 3 cocktails, a half order of fries that we shared and two burgers. We paid $120. They include a mandatory 20% gratuity, so keeping this in mind, our food and drink bill was $100. Maybe if our burgers had literally blown us away, we could've chalked this up to a "whoa, that was soooo good" and we'll return for a special occasion. But it wasn't. My guy ordered the Juicy Lucy. I ordered the Bluey (blue cheese stuffed burger). His was seasoned well while mine had zero seasoning and only two bites of blue cheese (that took me eating well over 2/3 of it to get to the blue cheese). And I love blue cheese. I was looking forward to a flavor that never materialized. The burger itself was bland. I was so disappointed. If you'd like any garnishings on your $17 burger - like lettuce, tomato or even bacon, you'll pay for each add on. It's a little much. Mustard and mayo are provided in a condiment basket, each in little packets. It's was almost comical. Anyway, you can tell I wasn't impressed. It's the little things or lack thereof that always get my attention. So, we each had a burger and 1/2 order of fries. Absolutely nothing special. The cocktails (margs) were good but again, ordinary. The bill was the only thing that was out of place. $120. Yikes. read more

We walked past this restaurant about a week ago and returned today to give their speciality, the Juicy Lucy, a try. Service was friendly and quick. The half order of fries was large but came out way before the burgers so we had finished more than half of the portion already. I ordered the cheeseburger, which was completely over cooked. Like no juice or flavor. The cheese was burnt, the onions were burnt, and it was just disappointing. The juicy Lucy was also somehow overcooked and dry. The melted cheese was the best part and at least gave the burger some flavors the onions were burnt again. Overall, we weren't impressed with the quality of the food and don't think it was worth $40. read more

Lucy's Burger Bar - July JUICY LUCY cheese-stuffed burger - Burgers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Located right in the heart of Tennyson Street, Lucy's Burger Bar delivers a dining experience that's as bold as it is cheesy...literally. Known for their inventive cheese-stuffed burgers, fun drinks, and standout oysters, this spot has quickly become a Denver favorite. I sampled a little bit of everything on my visit, and here's what blew me away: Juicy Lucy: The iconic Minneapolis-style burger overflowing with hot, melted cheese, paired with pickles and onions. The Saucy Sally: A double-patty marvel stuffed with American cheese and drizzled with thousand island dressing, topped with onions, pickles, and shredded lettuce so think of it as an upgraded, cheesier Big Mac. The Blucy: For blue cheese lovers, this is for you. Seafood & Sides: I enjoyed a half dozen oysters that were undoubtedly some of the best in Denver, a Chicken Finger Basket, and a Mac & Cheese Wedge Basket (complete with fries and pickles). Signature Drinks: The Lucy's Spritzer, a refreshing mix of pineapple-soaked vodka, champagne, and soda; a Spicy Margarita with pepperoncini-soaked tequila; a Galaxy Margarita accented with Cimarron Tequila and a salt rim; the playful Cardi B Rum Punch Pouch (an adult twist on a Capri Sun); and the Tart Cherry Star, made with tart cherry-soaked vodka and Starry soda. With special events like Bingo Mondays, BOGO Juicy Lucys on Tuesdays, and oysters available on weekends, there's always a reason to swing by. read more

Went here for dinner on Friday - party of two at around 6PM and it was kinda empty, but more people came in as we got a little later into the evening! Was excited to try their stuffed burger - we've had the OG stuffed burger in Minneapolis and this place had been on the list for a while. I got the Saucy Sally, and my husband got the Juicy Lucy. They automatically come with onions (can do raw or cooked) and pickles - overall, a fairly simple burger. The price was pretty dang high for a stuffed burger - $16.50 and $18.50?! It was solid, but could've come with more toppings, or something, that made it a little more special. We split a side of fries too - meh, kinda tasted like frozen shoestring fries. However the so-so meal, the service was really great. Everyone was attentive and super friendly. Glad we tried this place but don't know if I'd feel the need to go back. read more

I want to love this place but seriously there is not much if anything to love. First they were out of grape juice so no drinks related to that. Then then food is just not seasoned at all. We order a juicy lucy and there is no seasoning and every topping is al a carte except for diced onions. The lime in our drinks was even old. For 65$ it just isnt worth it. I hate that so much but even red robin seasons. It was by far the biggest waste ever. read more

One of the best and most authentic burgers I've ever had. This place and its ownership, it's ambience, it's savvy and its style, is a gem. Not a throwback, but a nod to the ideal burger place in many of our imaginations realized. Also loved the fun printed and laminated instructions on how to (and not to) properly hold and eat a Juicy Lucy burger. A confession: I did get a little juice from the burger's initial bite on my shirt. When I confessed to the warm and personable owner that this deserved an A- for me, she returned the comforting words that she'd seen much worse, and granted me an A+. This was truly an experience not to be missed and one that my entire group won't soon forget. So, why are you still here reading ? Get up and get there immediately !! read more

Ambiance is great, a throw back to the Soda Fountain, yet no ice cream with soda. This is a small quaint place in Berkley Area considered Lakewood/Denver, very nice village. The service is prompt and quiet amenable, large picture windows to view outside, comfortable small booths, about 4 and at the counter "old fashion stools." Charming. The menu is limited, and all is "A la Cart!" For people who like to munch down on any ordinary hamburger, with an A La Cart fries, this might be a nice choice. Juicy is not I would ever refer to the Hamburger; there is a smidgen of a sauce, not very flavorful, the Hamburger is lesser dry meat, request medium cooked, was more well done. The gristle texture was a put off, and when ordered I asked for the grilled onions with the Hamburger. Where were the onions? Scant! As in the photos, I order a burger for my Service Dog, and gave most all of my "Lone" burger to my dog as well. As stated, this is a Quaint place, the ambiance is very inviting; the food could use some major improvement. If one advertises a "juicy hamburger" they might consider "Angus Beef." Although many might enjoy gobbling down the food, as I viewed in the front booth, as a filler for an empty stomach. The Price, for a small dog pattie and a lone tastless chewy hamburger "where's the Cheesy sauce (?) did not make it juicy or tast better. All costing $24.00 is HIGH! There are disclaimers regarding the price, adding 20% and then requesting additional Tip if the waitstaff are exceptional... is asking too much. We love to tip our waitstaff for any service, yet when a eatery takes off the top and then requests more, is highly suspect. The Waitstaff work hard for their tips, the employees/waitstaff ought to be the first consideration not secondary, "If we, as the customer choose!" read more

We felt very welcome as soon as we arrived. The server greeted us warmly, quickly brought water and menus, and took the time to explain the dishes along with their most popular options. The food came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and a bit dimly lit, but that didn't take away from the overall experience. We enjoyed everything and would definitely come back again. read more

The juicy stuffed burger is the reason to go. It's huge, hot, oozy and delish. The fries are crispy and yummy also. Not too big on the chicken strips, my daughter said they were flat and stringy. Our server was sweet and helpful, very quick too. We like the low key feel when we dine in, it's not loud. The atmosphere is nice. The only downside is the 20% fee to sit and eat, yes this is a tip but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth. read more

Been here twice now, so I feel like the review is accurate for me personally. First of all, the service is great and very personal and energetic. Ashley and Michelle were helping out behind the bar this last time, and both were really welcoming and efficient. They even gave me a coupon for a free drink when I closed out, which was nice. It is a small space that is cozy, and still captures the diner experience. Cool bar setup with ten low but comfortable seats. Three booths and a table complete the setup. One large corner TV, and the first time cool beach stuff was on, and the second time sports were on. The background music was energetic, yet not your boring mainstream stuff. Liked it. They give you pretzels to munch on when you sit down, so that is fun. I ordered the signature Juicy Lucy with no pickles and cooked onions, and it was solid. Mine came with pickles on it, but no biggie. I admit to being overly critical of burgers, so let's get that out of the way. The stuffed cheese was fun, but I always find with stuffed burgers that getting the burger at the right temp is tough so therefore it changes the taste a bit. I personally prefer a good medium rare burger for temp. Still solid. Packets of hot sauce, ketchup, and mustard were on the bar and at the tables. I got a side of fries with buffalo sauce to dip them in. The fries were good too. They also have truffle/caviar fries on the menu, which looked interesting, unique, and a call to come back and try at some point. And, of course, Tennyson Street in that couple of block stretch is a great place to explore and do fun things. Can't beat it. Finally, I have to mention that this place is on Inkind, which if you aren't on, you should be. It also means they stay in the loop as far as reach. Smart. This place is a great experience overall for both service and food. Definitely recommend, and see you there... read more

Absolutely adored this local spot for burgers. I got a plain hamburger with fries, and it was so delicious. Also on Mondays they have bingo which was so much fun! Looking forward to return here again for their food and fun vibes! read more

Ahhh what a refreshing delicious burger! It was cooked to perfection! It wasn't as messy as I was originally expecting and it kept its shape. The burger itself and the cheese was incredible! I will have more in the future! The service was awesome! Michelle (the owner) is extremely personable and attentive to her customers. She engages and makes you feel extremely welcome! Thanks, Michelle! The ambiance is perfect! Diner style! Plenty of good decor, great art on the walls, bottles on the wall and a great bar service. Can't wait to go back! read more

Lucy's Burger Bar - Beefy Hot-pocket of cheese - Burgers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

This is a nice spot on Tennyson street to grab a burger. It is in a great location and has a good atmosphere. It was pretty full for a walk in for lunch on a Saturday. I ordered the juicy Lucy - it was advertised as the most popular burger and would be fun experience to try. However, I ended up not being completely impressed by it. I thought that the burger did not have a lot of flavor outside of the cheese in the center, and was also dry. It was almost like a plain old ground beef patty outside of the cheese. It was also a little more work to eat than I would have wanted to. I thought the fries were good, and the other burgers that I saw come out looked good. I would return, but would try a regular menu burger when I return. read more

If you are lucky to find parking and seating and in the mood for burgers, make a stop at Lucy's. It's female owned and the burgers are delicious. The staff is friendly and although it's a small space where most of us sit at the bar, we didn't have any issues and could have a private conversation. It isn't a loud burger bar. The Juicy Lucy is a signature order. The cheese is cooked inside the patty so it is "juicy" when you bite into it because of the cheese. I like that they include instructions and do follow them or you'll burn your tongue. You can add lettuce and veggies if you want. The fries are worth your money. We got the half basket and it's quite full and enough for two people. The cinnamon roll was okay. Maybe it needed to be warmer but a nice dessert treat if you're looking for one. read more

Two drinks, order of fries, and two burgers: $92! The fries were good but the burgers highly unmemorable! Greasy too! Got the check and got nickel and dimed! $1 for a slice of tomatoe. 50 cents for lettuce, $1 for gluten free bun. Fine, charge me but make them taste good & fresh please! Service was great though! read more

Lucy's Burger Bar - Lucy cheese filled grilled onions add bacon CHEESEBURGER 1/2 FRIES - Burgers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Stopped in after visiting a couple of the fun shops along Tennyson. It was delightful with a funky diner vibe in addition to serving wonderful burgers. The staff was warm and welcoming, guiding us to our ultimate choices this day. My husband loved the Juicy Lucy burger -- two good sized patties with cheese sealed inside the two. It actually comes with instructions to warn of the possible wearing of the cheese down your shirt if one isn't careful! I had a simple burger that wasn't as flashy, though the burger itself had terrific flavor. The fries were skinny like I love and perfectly cooked -- for me that means not too crispy. Plus, it's got a full bar to top it all off. We were able to enjoy a nice beer along with the yummy food. Good place to add to our list when we're on this side of town. read more

Super salty mediocre $15 burger. Got the cheeseburger just wanted a quick lunch and actually wish I just got chik fila instead

Stopped in to this place on a recent trip after seeing some good reviews and some pics of the Juicy Lucy. I'm a sucker for a good burger and I love cheese in all its forms and so I figured that this would be a great spot to stop and get my fix of both. The parking in the area is pretty easy and so I did that and made my way in, sat at the bar and placed my order. The menu has some variety and the place has a full selection of booze but I was going for a lighter lunch so I just got this ridiculous burger on its own no sides. The workers were friendly and gave me the rundown on what to expect from the Juicy Lucy. It's a substantial burger that is loaded in its center with molten, delicious cheese. Think if you made an uncrustable out of meat and the filling was cheese. Brilliant. Nominating this for a Nobel prize. The burger comes with instructions. Read them. Follow them. You're going to want to dive right in but you've gotta let that molten cheese in the middle solidify a bit for the perfect experience. Go ahead and grab some napkins before you take a bite. Long story short it was delicious, albeit slightly messy...so again, have those napkins on deck. The place was clean and loaded with good vibes and everyone there was polite and helpful w/ the menu etc. The burger was totally worth it and I'd gladly do it again. If you're thinking about it, go for it. read more

BITE SLOWLY! It's a mess! I was warned by the attentive and helpful waiter, but still somehow didn't follow through. Seriously--bite slowly and with your face close to the table. Also, hide anything you don't want getting covered in sauce. I lucked out and had a Matrix-style bullet speed thing happen in which my scarf and hat and gloves and coat were barely missed by the flying spray of cheesy saucy goodness, but it could have been worse. read more

I really want to rate Juicy Lucy's higher (3.5) because the staff is exceptionally friendly (keep those vibes!), and the quaint, chill atmosphere is so appealing. It's a great spot for a quick bite, and the fries are absolutely spot on. That said, the burger doesn't quite justify the price for me personally. The inconsistency--especially with some burgers being overcooked--makes the cost even harder to swallow for what's meant to be casual dining. While I'll still drop by from time to time for the atmosphere and convenience, the high price point makes it tough for this to become a regular go-to spot. read more
