First of all, the moment you walk in, you're welcomed right away. The customer service is impeccable--they make you feel important from the second you arrive, and you're taken care of immediately. The atmosphere is fantastic, with great music, great beer, and the opportunity to sample any beer before ordering your adult beverage. Last, but definitely not least, is what they're famous for: the spicy chicken sandwich. It is absolutely amazing, and you have to order it with the fries. The fries are so good that they're worth the trip on their own! It's a small place, so I'd recommend getting there early to beat the crowd. One word of caution: go easy on the hot sauce. It's seriously spicy! read more

Lucy's - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Lucy's was doing a BOGO on fries, mac & cheese, and shakes on Uber Eats, so we decided to try it, good decision overall. The classic Prohibition burger was a solid 9/10. I loved that the pickles and onions were diced so you could taste them in every bite. The cheese was *very* melted though, basically liquid, which was a little strange. I personally prefer when it's a bit thicker and there's a little more of it. My niece got the buffalo fried chicken sandwich and they did not skimp, it was basically a whole chicken thigh. She wasn't a big fan of the blue cheese, but otherwise liked it. For the sides, I'm from the South so the mac & cheese was a little underwhelming for me, but the fries were good and the strawberry shake was a solid dessert. We ordered delivery so I can't speak to the vibes, but I'd definitely try it in person sometime. read more

Overall the food was fine. I got my food Togo but maybe if I ate it there it would've been a lot better. The service was kind of slow, they only had 1 girl working. She was running the food, taking order, and making the drinks. The decorations inside are nice and they offer outdoor seatings. read more

I ordered delivery from Doordash - the original chicken sandwich, the pickle spears, and golden fries. I thought the fries were fantastic! Very tasty and cooked well. Natural fries and I chose the garlic aoli. I wish you could have a few other types of dips without paying extra though. The pickle spears were so large---I was expecting smaller spears, but these were thick and you get about four of them. A little pricy, but there was a special online with Doordash so I saved $5 by adding them to my order. The sauce was spicy but flavorful. The chicken sandwich was fine. I think Popeye's chicken sandwich is much better...but this one was thick and juicy and tasted just fine. I would definitely get this again and may try a different type of sandwich. The entire order was fulfilled perfectly and nothing was missing. Service was great. read more

Lucy's was everything I wanted and more! A friend and I stopped in here after shopping in the area and I'm so glad I finally got to try it. Lucy's serves up burgers, fried chicken, and a handful of sides. The limited menu means that what they DO offer is done really well. I decided to go with the bacon jam spicy chicken sandwich. The spicy fried chicken sandwich was topped with bacon jam, garlic aioli and american cheese on a brioche bun. THE BACON JAM! So so good. The chicken itself is about twice the size of the bun, so you definitely get a great bang for your buck. And it's so crispy too! I was also so impressed by the fries. They were perfectly crispy and salty. The garlic aioli paired perfectly with this. I tried the dill pickle ranch which was so yummy too! Overall, A+ experience at Lucy's. Staff was very kind and helpful when deciding what to order! read more

The quality and service has unfortunately declined here. I just showed up to pick up carry out and was given two melted milkshakes. The problem was exacerbated by the fact that staff apparently did not have lids to fit their cups and they spent 10 minutes running around trying to find appropriate lids while my take out got cold and shakes melted. read more

A great place for veg comfort food. Some of the best fried pickles (spear style) in the city. Mac and cheese is on point. Burgers (only had the veg) are juicy and well dressed. Love it every time. read more

Really good food. I didn't sit in so I can't comment on the service but the food was great! My only complaint is the classic burgers meat wasn't enough. It was good enough that I didn't even take pictures! read more

Tried the juicy Lucy and signature spicy chicken sandwich - both were delicious. Spicy chicken sandwich was very large and moist, could've been spicier though. The juicy Lucy was oozing with a melted cheese center as expected. Our group also tried the cheese fries and all I can say is the portion of fries given is very gracious (but a bit salty). Love to see that in today's economy as it just gives us the urge to support the business even more. read more

I know this is a sandwich spot, but the chocolate milk shake stole the show! Also loved the chicken sandwich. The service was fast! It's a cute vibe on the inside with a small amount of outdoor seating. read more

It was my first time coming here and I had a great time! The people working yesterday evening were so sweet and playful. I was coming from an event and came during a slow time, so my partner and I had the place to ourselves. We were vibing with the playlist too. The pulled pork sandwich was so delicious and tender and paired so well with a side of Mac and cheese. I will definitely come back! read more

New favorite comfort food spot! Their pit smoked pork fries were phenomenal and the famous spicy fried chicken sandwich was a HUGE piece of chicken. Definitely worth the money. Added a side of the garlic aioli sauce on my chicken sandwich and just took the sandwich to a whole new level. read more

Lucy's - Pit Smoked Pork Fries and the famous spicy fried chicken sandwich - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

*employee told me "f*ck you"* I Won't ever know how the food is because I'll never order from her again. Long story short: I ordered delivery through uber eats and eventually the driver messaged me telling me that Lucy's had given my order to the wrong driver. I found this to be peculiar because I know drivers have to show credentials to pick up the order. So I called Lucy's to simply let them know the message I from the driver and the person I spoke with on the phone (Tony if that's their real name) proceeded to get extremely defensive as if I was attacking them about where my food was. When I was just trying to communicate and get it sorted out with the info that I had. Because as it sat, I had no order on the way and no order being made by the store, yet my uber eats order remained open. Eventually them employee (Tony) got sick of my questions and when I asked for a manager and told him I felt obligated to tell his management about how he handled everything... First he told me there wasn't one in and he couldn't tell me when one would be in in a very irritable, annoyed tone. Then his exact words were "yeahhh f*ck you." And then he hung up. I've never in my life had that happen and I usually don't follow up like this but I am absolutely going to contact that place until I get ahold of a manager and make sure it's handled appropriately. read more

Jesus Christ in Heaven. This is the best Fried Chicken Sandwich in Chicago that I've ever had. Also the Mac and Cheese is INCREDIBLE. 10/10 will be going back constantly from now on. Thank you so much Lucy's for changing the entire course of my night and maybe my life. read more

Amazing food and service. Really feel that southern hospitality in this little corner of Chicago. I lived in Austin for a bit and the coleslaw here holds up! Ordered the original spicy chicken sandwich, bbq pork sandwich and side of Mac and cheese. It is a lot of food so you will likely have leftovers. Nice that they have sauces to choose from and a spot to grab water. Will definitely be coming back to Lucy's read more

We love Lucy's for the convenience and the portion sizes! The chicken is very crispy but a little too much for me to be honest. The flavor of the bacon jam sandwich is so good! Not sure what they use but I enjoyed it. Overall, great concept but I don't think it's the best chicken sandwiches in a city with so many options. read more

I love Lucy's fried chicken so much!! I came here last year and decided I had to come back again recently. The chicken pieces have a red pepper flake breading that is crispy and spicy, and the buttermilk biscuit with honey butter is also so good. I also got an Arnold Palmer and fries, which come with a really nice garlic aioli sauce. read more

This is one of my favorite lunch spots! Nice staff and great food. I ordered the Bacon Jam Chicken Sandwich. Wow! This thing was humongous and delicious! It was a huge chicken fried breast topped with a lovely sweet sauce and bacon on a tasty bun. I loved it! The chicken was tender and full of flavor. Highly recommend! Must try. read more

The burger is really great! The double is a must and same with their sauce! I like that it's a smash burger and they don't try to change their fries or condiments to be "original". Usually that just leaves an odd taste in your mouth. Double burger with fries and a side of the special sauce is a must!!! read more

Okay here we go--backyard BBQ at its peak. What do i mean by this. Back yard grilling--what do you think of when you think of it? Not sure? Need a memory lane stroll--order Lucy's. The simple menu leads one to believe that they have to be pretty talented at wielding together nostalgia and fresh simple ingredients. And I am here to tell you that is true. Favorite Pick-- golden fries. Plain and simple. THEY ARE GOLDEN in hue and a nod to the not-too-crispy not-too-salty perfection that everyone wants in a fry. They also have the skins on them which add texture and more golden-y color. I got delivery and these withstood the normal delivery downgrade. Consistency all around the box and not greasy. I grab a handful knowing they alll gonna be gucci. Second pick is the pulled pork bbq sammie. The acidity from the slaw and the sweet bbq sauce and pickle combo were to die for. Just enough bread to soak up the juice and not be soggy. Thirdly the juicy Lucy burger --I'm a big burger fan. I've had all chicagos finest and so I have high standards. This is a very very nice burger. Cheese Baked into the middle and still remains "lighter" feeling for a burger. The traditional toppings are not too cumbersome and very fresh and this is the secret sauce that they add to the burger is a nice touch. read more

Great little place for some really amazing and simple food!! Came here on a Thursday for an early dinner and there was nobody in there which was great as I was alone. Their menu is simple and easy to decide on something. I ordered their spicy fried chicken sandwich and golden fries. It didn't take too long and it was steaming! Chicken was cooked well and was super juicy with great flavor - not too spicy but just enough it made you wanting more. Fries were yummy but seemed to be the bottom of the bag kind of deal with little pieces but still delicious. They have a few tables up front and in the back and then one giant table for singles or pairs in between. Two bathrooms down on the right. Overall a great lil place I'd be glad to comeback and have! read more

Love, Lucy. The ambiance. Outside, seating front and back. Super cute date night. Quick bite to eat. Or just craving a good burger. Burgers are amazing. Even the chicken sandwiches. I love fresh cut fries, and they got them with a sprinkle of sea salt, even though the margarita was premade is still good. Always clean read more

Chill neighborhood spot in Humboldt Park neighborhood. My boyfriend and I frequent when we're craving a chicken sandwich, burger or fried pickles. I have to shout out Manny - he is always so friendly, helpful, welcoming and funny. Lucy's recently started serving beer and mixed drinks on tap which is a plus. Seating on the street, inside, or a nice big back patio to enjoy. read more

They sent out the oldest looking chicken between bread and they should be ashamed. French Fries tasted days old. Beware they are comfortable with sending out trashy food. I had to throw it in the garbage. read more

Between me and my boyfriend, I think we both agree that this is now one of our top fav fried chicken places in Chicago. Located right by Humboldt park! Street parking was fairly easy to find during a Sunday afternoon. This joint gives off vintage vibes. They have patio space in the front and in the back - perfect for the spring/summer time! Ordering was very easy. Their menu is large enough for everyone to see - no squinting necessary (for someone who is nearsighted). They serve burgers, chicken sandwiches, sides, milkshakes with or without booze, how fun. Bacon jam chicken sandwich: This sandwich. Chef's kiss! I've had alot of fried chicken in my life but this was pretty darn good. You get a pretty big piece of chicken on the sandwich. Now looks may be deceiving because the chicken looked pretty heavy but it was actually lightly breaded to perfection. The chicken piece wasn't overly thick or overly breaded where it was overwhelming. The overall sandwich wasn't super greasy either. The combination or the bacon, bacon jam, and chicken was phenomenal. If you are into the sweet and savory combo then this sandwich is definitely for you. I had good amounts of bacon bits and jam with every bite. The bun was nicely toasted and not soggy at all. Golden fries & Lucy's secret sauce: Fries were just as great. Crispy and not soggy. I paired my fries with a side of Lucy's secret sauce. read more

Lucy's - Buffalo Fried Chicken Sandwich - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The restaurant was nice and clean and there was plenty of seating available. The service was a 5/5 but the food was less than ok. The cheese sauce on the fries had no flavor at all and the chicken sandwhich lacked flavor as well. The chicken sandwich tasted a little over cooked. It was clearly a chicken thigh, but the chewy/dry parts were still left on the meat and should have been trimmed off prior to dredging. Additionally, the chicken had hard dried out parts. They get 2 stars because the cashier was great. read more

Give me all 5 of those stars. Excellent spot. Menu is outstanding and food is great. Burgers were awesome. I went with the chicken sandwich but had a taste of the juicy Lucy. Well cooked and very flavorful. The chicken sandwich was seasoned perfectly and tasted excellent. My only regret is I should have ordered an extra dipping sauce. Fries were tasty and the service was excellent. I really liked this place. read more

Came here for the Buffalo chicken sandwich. It was good, liked the balance of the blue cheese with the Buffalo sauce. It didn't really taste like Buffalo sauce, but it was spicy. Buffalo sauce seemed like it lacked some butter and vinegar. Blue cheese was on point and they load you up. Only reason this gets a 3 is because the chicken itself and the sauce was room temperature. I don't come to eat room temperature sandwiches, that food better be served hot. Cool looking patio in the back, host was extremely friendly. Would recommend, just ask the food to be served hot lol. read more

I never heard of Lucy's until I saw it on a friend's Instagram and it looked amazing! I saw that they serve Fried Chicken and Burgers so I knew a burger review had to happen. I ordered carryout around 5:30pm on a Saturday and I think it was ready in like 5 minutes so I rushed over to pick it up. The drive was only about 10 minutes for me. I ordered the Classic Burger with Cheese Fries and Spicy Chicken Sandwich. The burger was good and it's very comparable to Small Cheval and The StopAlong. Loved the pickles and the onions as they had some crunch! Bun was a little dry and I thought the patty needed some flavor as it was a little dry. I thought the spicy chicken was good and it had a small kick, not overly spicy (I have a high spice tolerance). The chicken filet was big, but I definitely bit into some gristle, which I hate. Wished the slaw had some more creaminess. The fries were solid though! They were very crispy, salty, and I thought they traveled extremely well. Cheese sauce was solid too. Prices were cheap for Chicago, portion sizes were huge, and service was solid. Overall, Lucy's is a good place to eat at a great value. The burger is probably better dining in as I thought it was dry doing carryout. I wouldn't totally go out of my way to get Lucy's, but I would stop by again if I am in the neighborhood! read more
