Wow! It was my first time in this small spot and I was impressed! I am happy that I decided to eat here or else I wouldn't know how delicious the food in this place is. Their staff was very friendly and food came in a quick. I ordered their spicy fried chicken sandwich and fries at a very reasonable price. The chicken sandwich has a huge portion, it was definitely delicious, crispy but tender chicken and a perfect amount of spiciness in it. The fries were hand cut, perfectly seasoned, fresh and hot. I had a very good time and I love their chicken sandwich. I will definitely be back and ordered it again and I am excited to try their burgers. I highly recommend this place for quick and casual bite. read more

Found this place on YouTube and it looked amazing. Overall the chicken sandwich was good but not crispy like I hoped. We also ordered 2 burgers to try. The Juicy Lucy was excellent. The chicken sandwiches were quite massive. Overall not disappointed! read more

I went for a burger and to my surprise I was not able to substitute any ingredients on it . You can remove , but not substitute. I liked ingredients on bleu burger , but don't like blue cheese so asked for American instead. Can't do !!! I was offered cheddar cheese for additional $1,50 . So if cheddar is possible why not American. It's on different burger , so they have it . First time in any restaurant I wasn't able to get my order way I like it . Everytime i was able to get it my way even if it was extra charge I was able to add or substitute. Disappointed ! read more

Spicy chicken sandwich-the bomb.com, will go back every time for it! The Mac and Cheese? Worse I've ever had in my life. Don't even understand how it could be on the menu. There's no way the staff and owner could think that this is a good menu item. It's by far the worst I ever paid money for. I've never been to prison, but my bf says that its worse then that. You might as well just warm up a cup of noodles at home. Don't waste your money on it. No flavor, cheese or homogenous mix of any kind of sauce. But if you don't take my word for it, go ahead and buy it. But lord have mercy it was awful. read more

Hey Luuuucy, I'm heeeere. Now that I got my best Ricky Ricarrrrrrdo impression out of the way, let me get down to business. I was all set to eat a burrito or have some homemade "ballpark nachos", because bae (aww, que cute) knows I'm easy peasy when it comes to an anniversary dinner. What I didn't see coming was this curveball of getting Lucy's and heading to trivia. I HAVE BEEN WANTING THIS CHICKEN EVER SINCE SARAH POSTED PICTURES OF IT. I've been driving past Lucy's weekly for the past month or two, so when we pulled up, I wanted everything. I reeled it in though. Fried pickles, chocolate shake, cheese fries (with jalapeños *sky point*) and a spicy chicken sandwich, exactly the way it comes with a side of some sauces. We were running a little behind schedule, so the dude ran in to place a to go order. We dove into our food about 15 minutes after we left, and everything held up nicely. The fried pickles really impressed me. Crisp on the outside, but slightly soft on the inside. I could have eaten 10 of these, but I only ate 2, because there were only 4 and apparently it's nice to share. The cheese fries were really good and the chicken sandwich really was huge. There's little that irks me more than someone saying something is "huge" and "super filling" and in their 2-bite mind it is, but they're wrong. Not the case here. They attached a $7 off coupon to dine in next time if we signed up with an email, so we were down to try them again! To quote some Canadian actor, "What am I gonna do, say no?" This time, we planned to split their Juicy Lucy and some fries and actually reel it in. Yeah, that didn't happen. We were freakin' hungry and also assumed we'd have some fomo (look at me, using hip language) and ordered a 2-piece of chicken. We were going to order the sandwich, but I realized it's the same chicken they put on the sandwich and this comes with a side of cornbread, for the same price. While that bun is good, I wasn't about to pass up trying the cornbread. It was alright. I've had worse, but I've definitely had better. I'd still get the 2-piece meal again over the sandwich, depending on what I'm in the mood for though, so there's that. The burger was good. If I somehow ended up here and the smell of a burger hit me, I'd get it, but I'd hands down order the chicken over the burger any other time. This second time though, the cheese fries were waaaaay too salty. I stopped eating them and left them for the dude to eat, even though he agreed they were salty, and he's not usually one to say that about anything other than my attitude change when I hear anything Bears related. We'll probably be those Chads and Karens who ask for no salt on the fries next time and let the cheese take care of the seasoning, but I can live with being that person. I'm glad we finally made it here. I'm not gonna lie, I'm all about that Popeye's chicken sandwich lately, but if I want a legit sandwich from a place where I have to actually go inside and get my food, Lucy's is that spot. Oh, and absolutely get a shake from here! read more

Lucy's - Disgusting and flavorless - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Couldn't find a separate page for their food truck, so I'll leave this review here. After walking around a street fest searching for food and checking out every single food vendor, their truck was the most magnetic, with the red paint, the pinup girl art, and the big poster of their spicy chicken sammie next to the order window. The poster promised a hefty sandwich The sandwich was solid -- tender chicken that's been brined and fried, with coleslaw and pickles. I liked the flavor, but I didn't find it spicy. Although it was fresh from the fryer, the chicken wasn't as crispy as I'd liked, and pairing it with some coleslaw just made the sammie a bit mushy. For $9, it wasn't as big as the poster promised, and it's definitely steep for a sandwich without sides. The bread was soft and buttery though! read more

Today was my third day in a row Their regular chicken sandwich is the best I've ever had but I ventured out and tried the one with the bacon jam, and life will never be the same, yes it's that good!! The cheeseburgers are just as insanely good, I got the BLT cheeseburger and have never had more perfectly cooked bacon. The fries are hand cut and seasoned perfectly but best enjoyed fresh as with any French fry, they do their best like not sealing them to steam to death so you can always recrisp them at home but honestly I just eat them on my walk home dipped in garlic Aoili. GET THE AOILI!!!! I dip everything in it including my finger if I eat all my fries. And last but certainly not least the amazing ladies working the front. Always a smile so friendly helpful and thankful to have you as a customer. Great food great service and locally owned 10 out of 10 read more

Saw a friend post on her Instagram pictures of Lucy's and I absolutely needed to eat their signature Spicy Chicken sandwich. Immediately after work on Friday I decided to check out Lucy's, which is completely out of the way for me, but I'll do anything to satisfy my stomach. Walked inside and the menu is up above the cashier. Went with the Spicy Fried Chicken sandwich and an order of cheese fries. This review makes me sad. Based on pictures, the food looks great. The sandwich though? Not great, but not bad. The sandwich is huge, there's two chicken patties. However when you combine them together with the bread and cole slaw that's included on the sandwich, there's simply just not a lot of flavor and taste. The chicken probably wasn't fresh because the slice of cheese that was added on to the sandwich didn't melt or anything. It was just a slice of cheese. When you eat the pieces of chicken without the sandwich, it's actually quite tasty and flavorful but for some reason, when you take a bite of the chicken from the sandwich, there just isn't a lot of flavor. I don't know, pictures make this place look like they have the best chicken sandwich in the world but I left disappointed. The cheese fries were just regular cheese fries. Nothing special to it. The cheese is your typical nacho cheese that you would get from the college dormitories, the fries were pretty basic. Nothing to write home about. Would I come back here again? I live in the South Loop, and this place just didn't do it for me to come back. Maybe if I am in the area, I'll try it again but my heart is sad for this place not being as great as I thought it would be based on the pictures. read more

It was ok. More about aesthetics and trends than quality. Spicy chicken sandwich wasn't very spicy. Juicy Lucy was too hot and too tough. Everything was salty. Good lemonade and good milkshakes. read more

Vaccine doesn't prevent Covid but you need it to get in. AUGUST 2022!!!! Food is amazing though so gotta rate it high. Will never come back. Ever. read more

Wow. This place scares me it so good. The chicken is perfectly cooked and I want to marry it. Don't miss out. Run don't walk.

Love them! Great neighborhood spot! Service is always so friendly. Get the blt burger.

Lucy's never fails us but yesterday was exceptional. The patty was cooked to perfection--it was medium but the bottom was charred and crispy. I don't think I've ever had a burger patty like that in my life and I won't forget it. Thank you to whoever was on the grill 11/7 at 3:00. As residents of Humboldt park we are a huge fan you're in the neighborhood and will continue to support you! read more

I normally have enjoyed this place in the past, put in an order today for a Buffalo sandwich double, and a spicy chicken sandwich double with sides of fries and pickles. Both sandwiches were ordered as doubles but came as singles. Super disappointing as we had planned to take in the rest for lunch the next day, didn't have time to prep as normal. Probably won't eat here again, tons of places to order that don't have a lack of attention to detail when making an order. read more

Bacon Jam Fried Chicken Sandwich is Lucy's famous crispy spicy fried chicken sandwich topped with scrumptious bacon jam, garlic aioli and American cheese on brioche. Juicy Lucy Burger is a double patty with melted cheese sandwiched between with Lucy's secret sauce on brioche. Recommended: add lettuce and tomato. Made with fresh sirloin Angus steak served medium. Cheese Fries is a hand cut fries smothered in cheddar cheese sauce.Cheese served on the side for delivery. I'm glad that my wife and daughter like this food that I ordered for them. They enjoy eating it. My kids enjoy eating the Bacon Jam Fried Chicken Sandwich. They like the taste and flavor of it. They said I should buy it again next time. So I highly recommend this place for you to try on. read more

I went for lunch here a couple weeks ago. I will keep this short and simple. The food is really good, so full of flavor! You need to add this joint to your list of places to try. The Staff was really nice and helpful, they answered all my questions. I've recommended this place to a few others who have all gone here and loved it! I will definitely be back! read more

We are huge fans of the original Juicy Lucy locations in Minneapolis so when we found a local restaurant we were thrilled. We knew we'd found a gem when we saw they served my husband's favorite, Cheerwine. The first three times everything was delicious. We enjoyed the juicy lucy, mac and cheese, and nashville hot chicken sandwich. We were walking advertisements for the place and brought friends. The last and final time the juicy lucy was raw meat with cheese stuffed inside. I took one bite and spit it back out immediately. One bad meat experience and we lost our new favorite place. read more

Went here as a suggestion from many but went with my sister as it's right by her place! I was glad I finally got to go... I ordered the chicken sandwich with a order of fries and a chocolate shake! The place is small but spacious as they have room for at least 35-40 people post pandemic but wasn't many people there but they did have the outdoor patio seating available as well! Order was given quickly and wait time for the food wasn't bad at all... what I wasn't expecting was the size of the order of fries and the chicken sandwich! Whoa definitely give you enough Yo share with someone if you are "wanted to" lol I did not! I was pretty hungry so I ate most of my food! Definitely will be going back! Price is about 15-18 depending on what you get everything is separate priced so that's what might make it a little more expensive for those who usually get a meal deal at some places! Totally worth the money tho!! read more

We ordered Lucy's through Uber Eats after craving a good chicken sandwich. However, I was slightly disappointed. The chicken was over cooked, almost burnt breading. The fries were soggy cold, which may have been from the delivery, but they had no flavor or salt! Luckily I ordered cheese fries, which just entailed a cup of cheese on the side. For an expensive chicken sandwich, I really expected more. The bacon jam was overly greasy and sweet, which ultimately ruined the sandwich for me. read more

I love the food here and everything they serve. It's utterly delicious. This review would be 5 stars hands down it weren't for the annoying fact that when i order delivery, they almost always get sandwich changes wrong. I have no idea if they just refuse to see them and acknowledge it, but it's beyond annoying and many times makes me want to not order things from this place. Your food is great, just please stop screwing up delivery orders. read more

Tasty. They made updates for COVID, pretty decent amount of outdoor space. We went on Friday night around 7:15 and got a space for 2 easily. Soft serve is good. Fries are skinny and crispy. My favorite. Mac and cheese, also great. Chicken sammie was really good. read more

Absolute burger (the classic), which I'd put up there with Small Cheval and some of the top places with a burger that doesn't break the bank. We also had the chicken which was just okay; the breast doesn't have much flavor, which indicates it's not brined properly. Also, the thighs are super thick, which leads to different degrees of cooking. I'd say the chicken was subpar but the burger was so good it made the visit worth coming back. Also, pump fulls of garlic aioli are the best! read more

Chicken was cooked in burnt grease and greasy asf but the meat inside of it was dry. The fries were ok and the macaroni didn't have any cheese. LITERALLY NO CHEESE!!!! The atmosphere was great and the vintage pops were cool. The customer service was ok. Over priced and over hyped. I wish I could get a refund. Also there is no waiters. It's all help yourself. read more

Overall really great experience. We ordered an Impossible burger, which was cooked well, and the signature spicy chicken sandwich. The chicken sandwich was absolutely massive, and fried to perfection. Tender, juicy, and a good level of heat. In retrospect, we would have skipped the cheese fries, which were unimpressive. It's (another) huge serving, but expensive at $4.95, and the bland nacho cheese is something that would come out of a bag. read more

Lucy's has always been great to have in the neighborhood but today blew me and my family away. The staff couldn't have been friendlier or kinder. It's always a struggle to find a place that's truly family (kid) friendly or honestly even people friendly sometimes but the staff gave some great recommendations for kid friendly options and could not have been more welcoming. On top of that, the food was freaking outstanding. I've been on the hunt for the best burger in Chicago for a while, and even though I've had Lucy's before, they've definitely taken it up like 6 notches. The chicken is also amazing and better than I remember--perfectly seasoned and of course, only better if you dip it in some of their incredible sauce. Like I said, I've been a fan of Lucy's for a while but, today I became a super fan. read more

Literally the worst burger I've ever eaten. Thought I'd try it again. They actually topped themselves and the second burger I got is now the worst burger I've ever had. Every part was burnt to a crisp. Even the American cheese was burnt up. How is this place still open? read more

The restaurant is not big, and it is not fancy either, but it has what I consider to be one of the best spicy fried chicken sandwiches. I have known this place for a long time, and I pretty much go in here whenever I am near the restaurant, and it is pretty much always busy. It has a nice and cute space with a nice interior full of lovely decorations, including the paintings and the album covers on their walls, which are really pleasing to the eyes. That is also what I liked about this restaurant. It is just a small restaurant, but it is casual and the ambiance inside is really nice, somehow fun and comfortable. I consider their spicy fried chicken sandwich to be one of the best because, first of all, it has a fair and decent price. The amount of chicken in it is huge, and it has the perfect kick of spiciness. The chicken is also not dry. It is juicy, but there was one time when I received a dry one, but thanks to the nice and delicious sauce, it was less dry. The portion of the sandwich is also nice and is reasonable for its price. The place also has good customer service. The people here are nice and friendly. The service is quick most of the time, but if the restaurant is packed and busy, there may be a short or long wait. read more

Buffalo Fried Chicken Sandwich is a Lucy's famous crispy spicy fried chicken tossed in our house buffalo sauce with lettuce, tomato and blue cheese on brioche. Buffalo Chicken Sandwich for me was too crunchy. I must prefer juicy chicken instead of crunchy but the flavor, seasoning and taste was good. They have a nice staff but their service was slow.

Ordered delivery via GrubHub this weekend. Received the notification that the food went out pretty quickly, but it took over an hour for it to be delivered. When we finally received the order after calling the restaurant, we opened the bag to find we got someone else's order and it was cold. I called and was really disappointed in the response I received. I was told I had to call GrubHub for a refund. No offer to replace the order or offer anything for the inconvenience. I was told to use Uber Eats next time as they have better delivery. Spoiler alert: There won't be a next time. Rather than getting the burgers, fries and shakes (which surely would have melted) we ordered, we received chicken pieces and a chicken sandwich that we ended up reheating in the oven. I'm usually more understanding, as mistakes happen, but the total lack of customer service killed it for me. read more

I had a bacon cheese burger and cheese fry's. They were unbelievably good, seriously: there was part in my mouth through every bite. Every single bite was: in all honesty so delicious that I had to write this review. I will without a doubt be coming back for more. The fry's are perfectly salted and crispy, they taste really fresh too. My girlfriend had the spicy chicken sandwich, I had to steal a bite. It was so amazing, needless to say. I will pray every night until the open one in Louisville Kentucky. Until then: I will return every year to eat chicken and burgers. PS. The service was great as well, very friendly lady. read more

This was a damn good fried chicken sandwich for a little less than $10 after tax. Loved the casual dining of ordering what you want and finding your own table to sit, then have the food delivered to ya. The spicy chicken sandwich was huge and I wish I had gone with a friend to split so that I could have also tried the fries. Definitely worth going to if you're craving a good and filling spicy fried chicken sandwich! read more
