So myself and my husband were looking at places with great reviews, we stumbled upon Lucy's and was easily intrigued. We ordered and waited about 45 minutes. It was no problem because we are about 30-45 mins away. We picked up and decided to eat in the car. Food smelled great but when we got to it the fries were soggy, sandwiches were not even hot or fresh. I asked to not add cheese and coleslaw and both sandwiches had them. Overall was a terrible experience. I'm so disappointed I really wanted to love it ! read more

I had a great experience. I got the buffalo blue cheese chicken sandwich. It was tasty, super surprised by the sweet buffalo and definitely has a kick to it. But my boyfriend got the regular chicken sandwich and he didn't like it. He said the chicken didn't have any seasoning or flavor. He was disappointed. That's the reason why I give it a 4/5 but I loved my meal. The garlic aioli was fire! I love garlic! read more

Lucy's - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

The Spicy Chicken Sandwich is massive, super crispy and tasty. It has great flavor, I wouldn't say it's particularly spicy, but I'll be ordering it again anyway! The Juicy Lucy seriously lived up to its name, it was really good. We ordered using Door Dash and everything was hot and well packaged when it arrived. Thanks, Lucy's! read more

This place is awesome! Ordered here during the stay at home order. Got the signature spicy chicken sandwich.... IT'S MASSIVE, the bacon jam chicken sandwich, fries and Mac & Cheese. Everything was delicious. The white sauce that came with it was amazing. So much food for the money. Definitely recommend! read more

Flavorless, Soggy, oily fried chicken with Untoasted buns? no thank you! I would rather the perfect crunchy and juicy chicken sandwich from Popeyes for half the price!!! read more

It was such a beautiful piece of chicken with a soft but toasted bun with wonderful lemonade and homemade bbq 10/10.

The bacon jam chicken sandwich and the juicy Lucy were both phenomenal. I love this place. I went two consecutive weekends and wasn't disappointed each time. read more

Great food and great people. I call for a pick up order, despite being a Saturday night when I'm sure they're busy, they were very engaged and friendly. She made some good recommendations and was very friendly. When I picked up my order the team was even more welcoming. I was glad that I ordered from them before even trying the food. When I was able to get home and dig in it was everything I had hoping it would be. Their spicy chicken sandwich is one of the best sandwiches I've ever had! I'd highly recommend Lucy's to anyone. read more

I come on for the veggie burger that's on the menu. They don't have any. When asked why, the cashier said the vendor has been out of them for over a month. How many brain cells does it take to order from another vendor? Duh!!! read more

This is the second time I've ordered food from here. First time, it was okay (chicken sandwich and fries). This time: a cheeseburger and fries. Really bad. Let me emphasize... bad. I live in the neighborhood so generally want to support. However, as I'm expecting intestinal issues in upcoming hours as a result of this meal (even tho only a 1/4 eaten), I can emphatically state that it's not the food that I'd serve to anyone that I like. read more

The fried chicken sandwich is amazing !! Delivery was fast and the food was still warm upon arrival. We also received a heartfelt note which was appreciated and a nice touch! read more

The food is AMAZING. But their customer service SUCKS. They're impossible to get on the phone and every time I do, 7 tries later, they don't say hello and they just hang up the phone without saying goodbye. read more

We decided to support a local business during quarantine, and Lucy's did not disappoint. We ordered their blt burgers, sides of Mac and cheese, and of course, a strawberry milk shake for dessert. Everything was made fresh, and the service could not have been better! read more

Amazing fried chicken and comfort food. We loved stopping by after a walk through the park. Now we get their delivery as much as possible. Support small businesses!!! read more

Decided to revoke my bad review because honestly i love Lucy's and everyone makes mistakes. I don't want their business to suffer all because i was having a bad days Their food is delicious, they've always been extremely polite and kind and i have nothing but great things to say to them. read more

Randomly found this restaurant on DoorDash. Ordered the bacon jam fried chicken sandwich and Mac n cheese. The sandwich was huge and tasty. The Mac n cheese was also satisfying. I'll be back next weekend read more

When we look back on the Gentrification Battle for Humboldt Park, charging $3 for french fries will be remembered as a war crime. I don't understand the reasoning behind the concept of the "permanent food truck." The whole point of a food truck is to sacrifice some quality and price value in exchange for the mobility and convenience that operating on four wheels can provide. People outside a bar at 2 a.m. won't have any problem paying nearly $15 for a run-of-the-mill burger and fries meal because they're drunk, everywhere else is closed, and it's right there in front of them when they want it. A brick-and-mortar location invalidates those benefits: if it's 7 p.m. on a Wednesday, I've got a million other choices in the neighborhood, and most of those choices won't insult me with a pulled pork sandwich you could recreate at home by dumping an unseasoned pork shoulder into a crock pot along with a bottle of supermarket barbecue sauce. Similarly, the chicken sandwich. (Not all the issues I have with Lucy's are ideological.) Compared to what you'll get for the same price a few blocks over at Leghorn, it's miserably inferior in almost every way. I'm the sort of person who rolls their eyes when they hear food described as "uninspired," but there's really no better way to describe what's going on inside Lucy's, right down to the stale retro-diner aesthetic. True, a hot chicken sandwich doesn't need to be complicated: plenty of people will tell you it only needs the chicken, the pickles, and the bun. But whatever Lucy's is serving needs something beyond what they have now. There were other typical Yelp complaints to be found that relate to service: the three times I went to Lucy's, the person behind the counter treated me with this very odd cocktail of surprise and confusion that I was standing in front of them, met soon after with resentment for being there at all. But that's just food service, especially at a freshly-opened location; anyone who expects to be greeted with smiles every time they go out to eat is asking way too much from underpaid strangers. But even a kiss on the lips every time I walked through the door wouldn't be enough to compensate for everything else going on at Lucy's. Serving unimpressive food at an unreasonable price isn't the real reason I dislike this restaurant so much: I hate what it represents. I hate that it's serving characterless food aimed at all the people moving into the new, equally characterless condos now lining California Avenue, instead of the locals getting priced out. I hate that it tries to dupe me into thinking $3 is a reasonable price for fries by putting the word "golden" in front of them, as if there's some sort of mystical value placed on the potatoes Lucy's dunks in hot oil, as opposed to the ones they give you for free at, say, Maxwell Street, or any of the other dozens of reasonable burger joints in Chicago. I'm sure whoever is behind this restaurant has good intentions, and I wish them the best. But I mean this as unsarcastically as possible: the day Lucy's closes its doors and stays on the street where it belongs will be a step forward for our society. read more

This is the first time I've ordered from Lucy's, as I wanted to try someplace new during the stay at home order. The delivery time was absolutely exceptional (much better than other, chain restaurants). The food was also amazing, with the fries being the star of the meal for me. Unfortunately, I ordered my burger wrong, but even then, it taste amazing. This is an amazing restaurant with exceptional service and I'm glad I tried it out. read more

Unreal chicken and sides!!! Ordered delivery and received the food in under 40 minutes! The chicken sandwich and burger were both unbelievably good.. Mac & Cheese left a bit to be desired, but the rest of the food was truly phenomenal - will definitely be ordering from here again soon, and highly recommend it to anyone craving some hearty food.. read more

Best Chicken sandwich and amazing pulled pork. Awesome vibe, fun soda options. We love this place!! read more

Sadly it didn't live up to expectations! The. Hi Ken I'm the sandwich was over cooked and dry. Fried pickles were Spears so a bit wet - so disappointed read more

Chicken sandwich was in point. All the sides are amazing you have to get all of them. They're keeping my ass fat in these trying times.

Lucy's is a great little spot. The menu isn't huge, but everything I have tried there has been solid. The spicy chicken sandwich is one of the best I have had in the city, the fries are hand cut and crispy, the shakes are solid, the mac and cheese is more garlicky than cheesy but its also pretty good. If you like extra spice get a side of the hot sauce! read more

FINALLLLLLY!!! I've been looking for a kick ass fried chicken sandwich that doesn't cost $20. Massive and delicious and at $8.95 are you kidding me??! I will be back for sure. I would say one thing, I would love to see them dip their chicken sandwiches in BBQ or buffalo sauce to take it to the next level. I would be there everyday. read more

By far the best spicy chicken sandwich I've ever had. The service at this place was also great, very nice folks. The Mac and Cheese was also amazing . I highly recommend this place. read more

Buffalo Fried Chicken Sandwich is a lucys famous crispy spicy fried chicken tossed in our house buffalo sauce with lettuce, tomato and blue cheese on brioche. BBQ Pork Sandwich is a smoked pork shoulder with BBQ sauce, coleslaw, and pickles on brioche.Optional American cheese. Impossible Burger has a choice of one or two 1/4 lb Plant Based Impossible Patties. Juicy Lucy Burger ha 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. I ordered it for take out for my wife and my kids. They love burgers. And when they taste it they said it was good but not the best so I only gave 4 stars rating to this fast food. read more

The food is always amazing!! I've ordered 4 times in the last 3 weeks alone lol. Support small business!! I recommended the chicken pieces, the bleu burger, the fried chicken sandwich with bacon onion jam!!! Don't forget the fries and garlic aioli! read more

First time here with my daughter and Lucy's did not disappoint! The food was hot and fresh and the cheese fries were amazing! I had an impossible burger that was dressed as thier Black & Blue Burger and it was sooo good. My kid really liked her vanilla milkshake and the fried pickles. They are a little pricey, but everything is these days, totally worth the $40. I will definitely be back. We dined inside but they offer outdoor seating too. read more

This place was talked about quite a bit by a couple of my friends and I was a little let down. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the food (I got their signature chicken sandwich and fries) but it just wasn't anything special. I had to go out of my way to get it and I didn't really think the trip was worth it. If I was in the area I would go back but I guess I just didn't see what all the fuss was about. read more

SO F*KING FIREEEEEEE! (Spicy Chicken BBQ Burger) I've never had anything from this place before as well as getting there the spot seems very lowkey and all but man the service and food is OFNG BUSSINfunna slide back for more RN! read more

Seriously delicious food. I ordered the bacon jam spicy fried chicken sandwich and my husband and I ordered the porky fries. The bacon jam on that sandwich....heavenly! Absolutely delicious combo of the bacon jam with the aioli coupled with excellent fried chicken. The porky fries were so good - we loved the various pork components and that pulled pork topper was so tasty. I know Parson's north side gets all the hype for their fried chicken, but Lucy's is by far better tasting! Can not wait to order here again. read more

Spicy chicken Sandwich hits the spot!! No mild or medium here, heat lovers can rejoice with this baby. Be aware though this sandwich is a monster so bring a huge appetite or a friend. Also, the service, always a pleasure the staff at Lucy's. read more

Lucy's is a great neighborhood joint that has always impressed me. Recently, I had their BLT Burger which was juicy, delicious and totally satisfied my flavor buds. If you order a side of fries, make sure to grab some garlic aioli to go with them! Also, gotta love their collection of delicious vintage sodas (yum nugrape soda) and given my knack for having a sweet tooth, they're just what the dentist ordered! read more

Order wasn't exactly what I ordered. Flavor of food was meh at best. Avoid the Mac and cheese for sure. Cheese fries were covered partially. About 25% worth. The cheese covered fries were ok. The plain fries sucked but at least my dogs liked them. read more

Food was very good. Their fried pickles are good but I guess I would prefer them smaller and thinner, they cook them on fourths

For a place to just opened on Broadway in Wilson I can only say that this place was horrid the macaroni and cheese was worse than anything and they said that they open at 11:00 a.m. but they opened at 12 noon and I stood outside for an hour and the girl working inside was unbelievably rude and unapologetic besides that the food was not worth the price and for a place that just opened and serves milk shakes that machine was broken while I waited out in the cold for 1 hrs several people walked away when they seen there sign there's plenty of other burger places in chicago that are much better read more

Awesome!! Best chicken sandwich you'll ever eat! The porky fries were meaty and delicious.. could do with more fries tho but it's good. Definitely a must try if you're in the neighborhood. read more

I had Lucy's chicken sandwich from their food truck tonight. The food was good but it didn't cancel out the rudeness of the guy working the truck. He called my husband ghetto for asking for extra hot sauce. I only got a little because the guy behind me said it was really hot. Sorry I liked your sauce. Sorry I wanted more. Sorry your so rude!! Won't go back. I'd rather spend my money where people appreciate my business. read more

This is the best chicken sandwich in Chicago!!! I have one once a week, I recommend getting one with some BBQ sauce added to it if you're sensitive to spice. I love this place and I have tried a lot of fried Chicken sandwiches in the city and this one takes the cake!!!! read more
