    I love diners. Maybe it was my Archie Comics diet growing up. I wanted to hang out at Pop's Chocklit Shop when I was young. There's just something so nostalgia about diners, having burgers and milkshakes, sitting at the counter or booths. We came here as my friend had been wanting to try the Uncle Grant eating challenge and he wanted to do try the food first. We ate before coming here (he could do multiple meals) so I only had a milkshake. At $10+ for regular shake, it is quite pricey. I had the strawberry milkshake and saw it was made with flavored syrup. The soft serve machine had to rest between use, so if you order more than 1 milkshake , it will take some time for all to be ready. I'm just quite disappointed the milkshake is made with syrup. The plus side is you could actually mix the different flavors though they don't recommend more than 2. My friend said the food was good, typical diner fare. Inflation has also mean the challenge now cost around $70 if you can't finish it within 20 mins. Come here if you want to go back in time with diner food (not the prices).

    (More like 3.5 stars, but I'm rounding up). My kid has mentioned Lucy's Diner many times when she was living here and in her last years of high school, saying her friends and her have gone here many times for milkshakes and fries, often super late at night. She's often mentioned how the food here is quite good and the place is open 24/7. So it's been on my radar for a while, to come here, as I love diner food. Today was the day. I was surprised by how tiny the diner interior was. Like, super tiny. But it was clean. And when I say it was authentically retro, I mean it; it's not pretending to be retro, it actually is. The linoleum, the table and booth finishes, the brushed aluminum, the counter and bar stools.... it's all real and all old. Worn, with character. The walls, painted a hospital green, with large photos depicting a family in the 1950's, as well as bicycle handles mounted on high. Cake stands covered by glass cloches on the counter bar, full of cookies and pies. All that was missing was a waitress named Flo. Reading the reviews here, I was surprised to read how low all the prices are, as I was taken aback by how high the prices were (for diner fare). $10+ for a milkshake, $19.99+ for a burger and most meals. I guess that's the going rate nowadays, but don't expect to come here and get meals for a steal. It ain't happening. So how is the food, you may ask. Damn good! I heard their breakfast foods were terrific, but we were there at lunch-time, so I ordered a classic BLT with fries on the side, and my friend ordered a Cobb salad. (See my photos). Traditional diner "comfort" food. Portions were very hearty, and all our food was fresh. My sandwich was great, with the sourdough bread perfectly toasted and lots of bacon, perfectly cooked. They sure aren't scrimping on bacon (which was nice to see!). And I don't usually eat fries, but these were TERRIFIC: not greasy in the least, crunchy outside, soft inside. My friend and I both loved the fries. And her salad was chock-full of bacon, too, with fresh produce and feta and hard-boiled eggs. We both loved our meals. Service was slow but there's only one lady serving everyone, and she was nice, too. We figured, there's probably only one cook in the back, too. So...not that speedy, but not the worst. My friend said the bathroom in the rear was clean and had "typical kitschy diner decor". (I didn't check it out so I've no photos). There was lots of metered street parking out front on Main Street. This place is a little rough around the edges, but the food is good, and if you need your diner "fix", especially late at night or in the wee hours of day, this is a great go-to place.

    Chorizo poutine with fried eggs

    First off, the great soundtrack draws you in: T-Rex, Alice Cooper, Stevie Wonder, David Bowie. But definitely the highlight today was the chorizo poutine with fried eggs. The gravy was awesome and by using hand cut cubed fried potatoes they avoided the common poutine problem: soggy fries. Delicious. It's an old timey diner and seems to have a lot of repeat clientele. Highly recommended for a breakfast (or lunch! or brunch!)

    Just your average diner on Main Street. Has a cute nostalgic feel. Went on a Sunday afternoon, no lineup. Had to leave a name and number and take a pump of hand sanitizer. Got seated promptly and scanned QR code for menu. I ordered a coffee (which was refilled without asking, so that was great) and the double Benny's with chorizo sausage ($15). Served on English muffins with hash browns. Quite basic and simple - the hollandaise was a little too thick and the eggs were a tad overdone. Still tasted yummy and did the job.

    I have probably driven or transited past Lucy's Eastside Diner many hundreds of times and I can not believe I have never been here previously. Read a few recent reviews and as had a craving for a burger, off to Lucy's we headed. Love the space and the music...50's style diner with 50's music. And we came for the burger combo which included fries and a mikshake for $15...yeah crazy price. Plenty of options for the 'shakes and I opted for the chocolate. The shakes were before us in minutes and the burger and fries shortly after...great service. I enjoy the burger, fries and the milkshake....I was soooo full after finishing the 'shake. I commented on this to our server who mentioned Uncle Grants Eating Challenge: 6 burger patties, 6 slices of cheese, 12 pieces of bacon with pulled pork built on two grilled cheese sandwiches served with mac'n cheese and milkshake. Finish in 20 minutes and its free. And our server stated each day someone attempts this feat....crazy. Glad I was not there to witness but would want to see the final product. It was a very positive food experience and happy to recommend Lucy's Eastside Diner. PS. And its open 24 hrs a day.

    I've driven by the place on my way to work many times and it always looked like a great place to try. We decided to head there for a quick lunch. Checked out the menu and the Grant Marshall burger looked like the one for me... I'm a sucker for a fried egg (on anything but especially a burger) as well as bacon. Overall, a very solid burger with fresh crisp veg. Not mind-blowing but a solid burger that I enjoyed. Had the poutine which was quite typical and great to be able to get a shake as a combo. We also had the Philly cheesesteak and it was good. Nothing to write home (except it is online) but overall a solid dining experience. I'd come back but there are better places in the neighbourhood to try.

    I went to Lucy's Diner for a late night fare. 8 hours later, I'm still thinking about the sad, dry chicken in my sandwich. If you're looking to travel back in time and feel the 1950s nostalgia - Lucy's Diner is great. If you're looking to travel back in time, feel the 1950s nostalgia and eat good food - please continue searching. I really love vintage diners, and I held my expectations high. Perhaps a little too high. I ordered the Club Sandwich ($14.50) and although I'd like to say I enjoyed it, I'd be lying to myself and the $14.50 I paid. The sandwich was a triple decker. It had layers of bacon (not crispy) stacked on chicken (very dry), topped with lettuce and tomato. The best thing on my plate was the fry sauce. And yes, you will be full. My final verdict: you can find better food for a better price elsewhere. My diner adventures continue and I shall keep everyone updated. Here's to one less person trying dry chicken because I've already done that for you. xx Ren

    We tried to come here a couple of weeks ago but it was super busy so we tried again this past weekend. I had the pulled pork on kaiser. I can taste the alcohol in the sauce initially but it dissipates after a few bites. Ordered onion rings on the side mainly because my companion was 'pressuring' me to. It was good. I haven't tried enough items on their menu to decide if I love this place or not but what I had wasn't bad.

    Pretty good as far as diner food goes! Not the best I've had in town (the pulled pork could do with a bit more flavour and a less mushy texture, for instance), but overall you get a hearty meal at a good price, and the vibe is on point. Overall the menu is quite varied, and you can add all kinds of sides to just about anything. I do want to come back and try a few more items, particularly their chorizo poutine. Worth mentioning that the boozy milkshakes shakes are simply huge, and they taste great, so if you're into that sort of thing, definitely try one when you're here! The staff are really nice too, and the 24-hour opening is a big plus for being reliably accessible; they seem to generally be open on holidays as well. So if you're looking for some simple but good diner fare that you know is going to be open no matter when you're stopping by, this is a solid place to go.

There are some small tables for two along with high tables. I ordered the 'hot' sandwich, chicken parm. I was expecting crispy chicken parm with yummy cheese and rich tomatoe sauce. Let's be honest, the star of this show is the bread! The baguette was warm, soft and so delicious. However, that's where the excitement stopped for me. The chicken with breading was soggy and the pesto and mozzarella was such a small amount, it felt like a soggy chicken sandwich with lots of bread. If they put more pesto dressing, more mozzarella cheese and more tomatoe sauce, I could have looked past the soggy chicken. All in all, I'm glad it tried it, the bread is amazing, and I'll come back to try a 'cold' sandwich to see if the other options are better!

Nothing special nor any extra extraordinary ingredients. The staff were nice. I don't think it's the staff's fault. It's just how they're told to make the sandwich. Came into the shop hungry paid $15 for a sandwich and left hungry was almost going to get up until the next two customers so I just walked in to save their money. Hopefully this will reach more people.

We walked over after getting off the Granville Island ferry at the Aquatic Centre stop. There wasn't a line, and our sandwiches came out quickly after ordering. - Reuben Sandwich -- tender meat, just the right amount of tang from the sauerkraut and cured meats, finished with their house-made mustard and a crunchy pickle on the side. - Lemon Rosemary Chicken (no cheese) -- light yet filling; the greens added freshness, avocado gave it the perfect moistness, and the light jalapeño kick tied it all together. - Garlic Bread -- buttery, garlicky, and crisp; the texture fell perfectly between a Vietnamese baguette and a ciabatta roll -- ideal snack for the walk. Overall, Number E is a charming deli serving high-quality sandwiches on their own freshly baked Tuscan bread. They also offer pastries, coffee, and other drinks. There are a few indoor and outdoor tables, but it's mainly a great grab-and-go spot. Chill ambience where you can watch the team craft your sandwiches fresh to order -- the perfect pre-ride fuel stop!
