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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Lucy's - Spicy fried chicken sandwich. Not spicy at all, but otherwise good stuff. - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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

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 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

Lucy's - Spicy Chicken with coleslaw on the side .... - American Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

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

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

We were in the neighborhood and stopped at Lucy's for the first time in a while. What have u been doing sleeping in this place?!? The service was wonderful, the woman at the counter was welcoming, had helpful suggestions and was very pleasant. The food was phenomenal and we ate it in a clean causal setting. Highly recommended 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

I am from out of town and I visitied this place over the weekend with a friend. First,this place claims to be the best chicken sandwhich in Chicago. That is a lie. The sandwhich was disgustingly bland, they do not have salt and pepper on the table to add any flavor to this bland tasting food. The food is extremly over priced. This is a common tactic for restaurants who believe the hype from the people in its neighborhood. One chicken sandwhich alone, no fies and no drink cost over $12. My friend had the Buffalo Blue chicken sandwhich. Unless you like a soggy sandwhich, stay away from this one. They put so much sauce on in that it makes the bread nasty and soggy. Just two chicken sandwhiches and two orders of fries totaled over $40! Yes, you heard me. No drinks included. I ate only 1/3 of my sandwhich. If I pay a lot for food I am going to do my best to eat it. That should tell you how bad the food was. I would simply describe it as expensive trash. My friend told me when you come to Chicago expect to pay "Chicago prices". That is such a B.S. response. I did complained to the establishment about the outrageous prices. They need to know when their food is good and when their food is bad. They also need to know when their food prices are fair and when their prices are extremly high. People of Chicago should never be comfortable with being taken advantage of just because you live in Chicago. 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

Got to say the burger was massive!!! Reasonable pricing for great quality food Got the signature chicken and was not disappointed at all!! It was packaged well especially the drink.

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

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

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

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

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

Great fast friendly service and always a delight to visit this local fried chicken restaurant. I consider this place a gem and would recommend it Food - I usually get the classic Lucy's Fried Chicken sandwich. It's huge with the right balance of slaw and cheese. I also enjoy the jalepeno cheese fries. Always hits the craving Value - Just a little over budget friendly but still reasonable Decor - Comfortable indoor, outdoor, and back patio vibes provide a variety of seating options with decorations that make it feel like a proper fried chicken joint Service - The service has always been very friendly. I have yet to have a bad experience Worthy of revisit - Yes. Most def... I have been going here for years and still would recommend it. Any one who tries to compare this sandwich to chick fil a or any other fast food place has no idea what they are talking about. 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

Ordered to go after a weekday bouldering night and wow it was very delicious! We got the Mac and cheese, fries with aioli on the side, house salad, signature chicken-double and signature with bacon jam- double. Needless to say we over ordered lol. Service was amazing and they were very kind and accommodating! :) As far as the chicken sandwich- I think the signature one is my fav - very crispy, tender and served on a nice brioche bun with slaw and pickle goodness. The bacon jam one was too heavy esp with bacon AND fried chicken. (Felt too guilty for my arteries) Pro tip: HIGHLY recommend getting their extra hot sauce for more flavor. They said it was extra spicy but it's actually not too bad when u mix it with the chicken and bun. The Mac and cheese was great and very cheesy. Adding the extra hot sauce to it was pretty good too. The fries was ok - a bit soggy and soft so not my fav as far as thin fries go. The house salad was delicious and highly recommended to pair given the heaviness of the fried chicken! We ate so fast that we forgot to take photos but will add next time! read more

I love this place ! They have Indoor and outdoor open! There might be a wait but it's worth it! Keep in mind they have grub hub,uber eats and etc orders so it gets busy.
