    golden fries
    James G.

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Pit Smoked Pork Fries and the famous spicy fried chicken sandwich

    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.

    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

    Their Mac n cheese was dynamite! All the food here was attractive and beautiful! Such a cute location too!

    Bacon Jam Fried Chicken Sandwich
    Charissa F.

    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.

We happened to already be in the city that day and somehow got lucky finding a reservation close to the time we were already nearby, so we knew we had to take our chance!

The staff was also super friendly and really helpful with recommendations throughout the night. We started with the warm Parker House rolls, which were so soft, fluffy, buttery, and delicious. Then we shared the vodka rigatoni, and the portion was definitely big enough for two people to split. So creamy, comforting, and really good. Of course we had to end with one of their classics, the sticky date cake, and OMG. Soooo good. Warm, rich, sweet, and the perfect way to finish dinner. Definitely worth finally checking off my list, and I'd happily come back again, especially for a patio night!

The burger had a lot of toppings, including a sauce and pickled onions and a very good amount of pickles. The Caesar salad honestly was not good, tasted very artificial and I probably would only try their sandwiches or appetizers if I went back. The truffle fries didn't have a strong truffle flavor, but I like the shoe string shape and they come with ketchup and mayo. But overall, a cute place, an easy walk in and a good patio!

I was really excited to try the famous chicken, and while it wasn't bad, it just wasn't quite what I was hoping for. I'm someone who loves big, bold flavors, and the chicken was pretty simple and not particularly flavorful. I was expecting some kind of gravy, sauce, or something to really elevate it, especially since it's one of their signature dishes. That said, the chicken was good for what it was, and the potatoes were actually my favorite part! They were fried rather than the typical diced potatoes you usually get, which made them crispy and a little more interesting. Overall, I'd definitely come back for the atmosphere and would be interested in trying some of their other dishes -- the chicken just wasn't quite my jam.
