what's not to like?? this place is great got the Juicy Lucy's burger salad good. meat good. fries good. definitely will order again read more

We came here for a quick dinner bite. The young ladies here were dry welcoming with smiles and with positive attitudes. They seemed more busy with takeout orders than actual dine in customers, but they handled it all well. They apologized for the wait, but I felt it was a fair time. The wife and I both ordered their Original Spicy Chicken Sandwich. It came with American cheese, two thick ass pieces of chicken and cole slaw. The chicken was so fat that it was hard to get an actual bite from top to bottom. That's not necessarily a bad thing. The cheese was unnecessary, and doesn't nothing for this sandwich. The cole slaw is could, but would help if the chicken was actually spicy, so the cole slaw could help your mouth cool down. But it wasn't spicy. They do bring out a very spicy sauce that you can pour on the chicken, but I feel like the seasoning should have some heat to it. We also ordered fries, they were good and tasted like something you'd get a hot dog joint. Overall, we enjoyed are meal as it was very filling, and they had great customer service. Not sure when we'll be back, but we'll make it back eventually. read more

Lucy's - Porky Fries - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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

Duh-mazing! (The kind of amazing that makes you say duh) I had the signature spicy chicken sandwich with fries. It was delicious, juicy and fresh. I had to keep checking that it was cooked because I could not believe that it was that tender. Fresh cut fries so good he would think they had hired a fry specialist just for me. Decent selection of beers, regular soda and kind of off-the-wall selection of bottled sodas. My buddy got the BLT burger, and it looked so good. I was tempted to steal some of his. Guys don't normally do that, but I did anyway. Menu has a variety of different things, and I plan on going back and knocking every single one of them off the list. A definite must try! read more

Lucy's was YUM! I got the tenders and fries as well as fried pickles. The tenders were juicy- crispy outside soft inside, Fries tasted fresh and fried pickles were delicious! I expected the fried pickles to be more like round flat pickle slides but they were pickle spears so they were more pickle-y than I expected. Just something to keep in mind. The service was bit on the slower side, but overall I will definitely go back and order those delicious tenders and fries (the fried pickles were good too but perhaps too much?)!!! read more

Amazing food the fried pickles were the best I ever had! & the margaritas are bomb for a fast food place!

This place is a great local spot. Cute decor and good burgers! I wish I was aware that if you order through grub hub/Yelp app for pick up, the prices are $2-$3 more per item! That adds up fast when you put in a big order especially when you pay more and are picking it up. I'm this isn't the restaurants fault because they have to give Grub Hub commission but it's something to be aware of if you plan to pick up , call in your order. read more

Biked about 30 miles round trip for the sole purpose of coming to this place (and of course the bike trip in and of itself). It was pretty delicious! I love a good crispy fried chicken sandwich and this is definitely one to try. Not very oily, crispy, and flavorful! I ate it in a few bites i think.... The only thing I would say is that i wish it was a bit...or a lot more... spicier? Or at least have the option to do so. Either way, I can't wait to come back again and try it again or perhaps try some of their other tasty looking options on the menu! read more

It was ok. My husband is vegan and enjoyed the impossible burger. I got the spicy buffalo Bleu cheese chicken sandwich. The chicken was mostly fat and breading, though, so I was disappointed. The spicy sauce was tasty but not overly spicy. The Mac and cheese was bland, though I actually enjoyed it. Who doesn't like cheese pasta anyway? The fries were good but seemed to be a lot if tiny pieces. They were salted appropriately. My husband liked the fried pickles but, again, it just felt really heavy unnecessarily. He would have preferred just pickles. We were underwhelmed overall especially given all the positive reviews. And it's not cheap. read more

Delicious food! I love a good chicken sandwich. I have high expectations for them and Lucy's meets them. I have come back frequently and tried every version they have. I loved all of them. The coleslaw is not a very good side but the honey butter sauce that comes on the side is. Service is nothing special, you order at the counter and sit wherever you want so it's not bad, it's just not much interaction. It's not very fancy either but it has a nice old school vibe to it. I'll be back soon to try a Juicy Lucy! read more

Lucy's - Signature Fried Chicken Sandwich & Chicken Pieces. Look at the size of that Chicken patty ! - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

I read a few reviews on yelp and bookmarked this place. Since I was off on President's Day (on a Monday) it was closed. FYI Lucy's is closed on Monday's. I was a bit disappointed but I return on a regular day it was opened. When I walked inside I was greeted by two cute smiling friendly faces. I ordered the famous signature award winning spicy fried chicken and fries. The chicken sandwich alone is fulfilling and delicious. Lots of delicious flavors, crispy and juicy. The sandwich and fries is worth the money. Just a note: The chicken sandwich alone is huge and sure to fill your tummy. A classic cozy retro restaurant with a bit of an old school vibe. The playlist playing inside will have you jamming in your seat. I really admire the old school casual vibe in this place along with the delicious food A true hidden gem located in Humboldt Park Great Service & Food Nice Music from the 50s, 60s & 70s read more

My friend raved about the burgers here, but told me they were known for the spicy fried chicken sandwich. She doesn't do spicy, but knows I love it! I went for the spicy chicken and was disappointed with the flavor. It was fried and crispy with two large pieces of chicken in between the buns. The problem was it wasn't spicy at all. I mean zero spice. That's fine, but listing it on the menu as spicy is deceiving. Otherwise it was a great! Now, let's talk about those amazing fries. Top 3 best I've ever had! They are crispy and delicious! The garlic aioli available to eat with them is delicious as well. Next visit I'll be trying a burger with one of the chocolate shakes I saw being made. read more

absolutely scrumptious burger & fries, and pulled pork sandwich was amazing (had a taste of my friends'). it was also just a really cool spot to hang out for a while as we ate a great meal together. BIG fans of the music and art in the space. good service too! read more

Typical Friday night - or so we thought . Came into Lucy's for dinner - we've never been . We ordered the chicken sandwiches , fries, and fried pickles (which btw is WAY too much food for two people). After sitting down and waiting for our order we noticed that a man stole someone's purse and walked out - as soon as we recognized the cashier immediately bolted out the door and tried to catch him. Unfortunately he didn't catch the guy but was super helpful in helping the girl out . So that alone gave this restaurant a 5 star . But I know you guys came for a food review - the food is AMAZING. The chicken sandwich is cooked perfectly and just the right amount of spicy, the French fries are fried really well and there's a heaping amount , the fried pickles are Spears - so for once you're not getting all fried dough but actually getting pickle. Without a doubt will return. read more

I used to love Lucy's! What I have noticed over the past couple of years is that if you order delivery, you basically get screwed. The fries I got tonight were so overcooked, they were inedible. The past few times I've ordered, I got the bottom of the barrel fries-like the bits and pieces at the bottom of the fryer. I'm sorry, Lucy's, but I've tried at least 3 times now and that's on me. But it's on you to get simple things straight. Bye. read more

Not too impressed......waitress was kinda unwelcoming (not rude but not hospitable). Food was...just ok. Chicken was crispy but flavor was just ok. Being a southern girl, high expectations for fried chicken. double patty burger was good. The patty had a hole in the middle where the cheese oozed out which was a nice surprise. But in all honesty, doesn't beat au cheval or small cheval. read more

I would leave my diet for this place... EVERY CHANCE I GET. The select menu is aimed towards people who don't give a f@^#*! about their cholesterol because there is nothing you can't work off. Life is short, have a spicy chicken sandwich with cheese fries! We ordered two spicy chicken sandwiches, cheese fries, and a vanilla shake. BEST FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH of my life. (Sorry, mom.) The sandwich is piled high with crisp fried chicken, coleslaw, pickles, and cheese. The meat isn't spicy, as much as it is seasoned. Ask for extra spicy, if that's your thang. The cheese fries are heavily drizzled with melted cheese. Crispy. Goey. Makes you forget all about your problems- kind of meal. 10/10 would come here again for the rest of my life. Lucy's fried chicken sandwiches on any day makes it feel like summer! So glad we found you!! read more

This is now one of my Top 5 burger places in Chicago! I've been on a quest since I moved here, so it's great when another gem is found. I found this place when in the area and in search of a good, not overly expensive meal. I saw on Yelp(!!) that it has a casual vibe, so off I went. First, the lady at the register was SO nice, friendly, hospitable...everything you'd see if a friend had you over for dinner. Second, they're known for their burger and spicy chicken sandwich. Both looked fantastic. I opted for the burger as it came sans pickles (not my jam). I skipped the fries and immediately regretted it after seeing that they have equal sized pumps for ketchup, mustard, and...wait for it...garlic aioli!!! Are you serious?! They know me so well! I got a bottled Mexican Coke, too, which is always tasty. Everything was great. Ambience was reminiscent of Nashville; old records and colorful. I'll be back soon! read more

Their food truck is down the street from my job in Hyde Park. A co-worker recommended getting their spicy chicken sandwich and aioli fries, which I ordered. I didn't realize how huge their sandwich is, which alone, is filling enough. I really liked their fries, but I couldn't finish either. Maybe next time I will try one of their burgers. read more

Not only is that Health Score bad, but so is the food. Yes, the Chicken Sandwich is huge but the flavor is off. I saw a few others describe the same way, but I can't quite figure out what it is. The Pulled Pork Sandwich was even worse. I suspect the good reviews are from people happy with the portion size. I choose quality over quantity every time. Can't recommend this place :-\ read more

Lucy's is going to blow up! Food truck turned adorable retro diner has a strategy of putting forth that vibe helped by artwork, matching decor and songs from the 50s & 60s that are sure to get you be bopping. However, it's not just a gimmick because their food? Oh my goodness. It's one of the best fast casual meals I've had in awhile! Situated on the border of Humboldt Park and Ukrainian Village, it's surrounded by a bunch of great shops and eats. They do their fries a few different ways and I have to say they are some of the best I've had. I'm not typically big on fries but goodness gracious, their mix of spices and perfect crisping on these tay-toes makes them perfect. Their Golden Fries are $2.95 but make them ooey, gooey, delicious cheese fries for $3.95. Then the chicken sandwiches. You can get it spicy, super spicy or mild ($8.95) and man, is it huge! The sandwich has an incredibly generous portion of crispy chicken done perfectly with coleslaw, pickles and cheese on a brioche bun. It is so gosh darn good, I couldn't stop commenting on the taste and the size is just enormous! Then their shakes! $3.95 and so thick & full of flavor. You really can't go wrong with single thing at Lucy's. Lucy's has been open less than two months at this point and I swear to you, it's going to become a Chicago classic! I'd love to keep it my little secret for now so it's not overly packed but I also want to spread the word so they excel! You must get to Lucy's and try their incredible food! I promise you won't regret it. read more

Highly recommended read more

I just saw this place when I was walking and I tried the food. The food tasted great! For the price, the food was pretty worth it. I would say its fresh, flavorful, and hits the mark in terms of convenience! Since the burgers are wrapped in the triangular paper, there's no worry about spillage! Even though we ordered about 30 min before closing, they were still able to accommodate our order. Overall, a great experience for the price! They're so generous with ingredients. Thank you, Lucy's! read more

I was a bit disappointed in the chicken sandwich. You do get a LOT of chicken, but the price of that volume is a loss of structural integrity. There is no way the bun can hold that much chicken, so everything collapses and you have a rubble of chicken, pickle, and coleslaw with which to contend. A tastier rubble than most, but a rubble nonetheless. Additionally, by placing the pickles and cole slaw at the bottom of the sandwich, there is no barrier between the cheese or the bun, so the cheese sticks to the bun rather than the chicken. So if I visited again I'd just order it "keto" style, without the bun. The milkshake was pretty good, and almost a requirement considering how spicy the chicken was. The fries were very soggy, I do not recommend them. read more

Love the simplicity of the food! The classic burger with bacon was the perfect size and plain delicious! Fries with cheese sauce was a nice touch and of course they were able to mix a chocolate and strawberry milkshake upon request. Simple and delicious comfort food. Only underwhelming part which took a star away was the Mac and cheese-appeared and tasted store-bought and flavorless. Otherwise, great value and would order from Lucy's again! read more

Lucy's - Mac & cheese was underwhelming - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

Below average over priced food. 18.50, including tip, for a burger and soft drink. Absolute waste of my hard earned money. Culvers and Wendy's do way better burgers for considerably less money. Very disappointed. Additionally, not the most hospitable staff. Clerks processing orders. My suggestion to you - FORGET ABOUT IT! P.S. Lucy, pull your head out of the sand. Up quality of food and sense of hospitality. read more

I have always enjoyed Lucy's food and their employees have always been friendly and nice. But I can no longer support this business. The continuously allow their delivery drivers to put their deliveries over the safety and well being of others in the community by allowing them to park in the bike lane. There is an alley directly behind the establishment which I have seen deliveries being made. It makes no sense to allow this behavior to continue when there is a solution to the problem, using the alley for all deliveries. Until this behavior changes, I will no longer be coming to this establishment for anything. read more

Tried Lucy's for takeaway a few weeks ago - it was busy which gave me high hopes. We ordered a burger, cheese fries, and the fried chicken. It was a long wait and upon getting home realized they didn't add the chicken. I was annoyed but went back - to make up they gave us another sandwich, the chicken bacon jam and more fries. The Fried Chicken with Bacon Jam was sooo good! The best sandwich there in our opinion. Great next day leftovers heated in the oven (even the fries). Will be back again but steering more toward the chicken side of the menu. read more

The signature spicy chicken sandwich is a staple here for a reason. If this is your first time here I would recommend this, a nice big plate of cheesy fries with jalapeños, and a milkshake. Sure you won't be able to get up from the table but that new fat belly you have will be happy. If you want to branch out I'd recommend the buffalo chicken sandwich which was surprisingly good! 5 stars :) read more
