My favorite breakfast in the whole state: Lucy's root vegetable hash with sunny-side up eggs and goat cheese. I've been on the hunt for good brunch ever since moving back to Michigan seven years ago, and the best spot I've found is unfortunately two hours from where I live! My family makes sure to swing through at least once a year on our way back from Lake Michigan. My spouse and older kid love Sy's pot pie, and my younger kid loves the kids' pancakes with chocolate chips and sausage on the side. Not only is the food great, but Lisa is an absolute gem. She was our server when we first found this place in 2024, and on every visit since, she's made sure to stop by and chat, even if we're not in her section. We love her and we love eating here - we only wish it were closer! read more

This is great place. It's like an upscale version of the Stray in the SW side of town. Unique menu, great service, cool bakery items that you can get instead of dining, and just a great experience. This is a place we will return to often. Parking is tricky, but no big deal. Get on the Yelp waitlist before going. read more

The good: The wait time was not bad at all especially considering that it's a very busy Sunday. The hostess were nice and welcoming. The restaurant itself is very cute. The negative: We waited 40 minutes to even place our order... while again I know it was busy; however, it honestly seemed like the waitress would have rather been elsewhere since while she was taking our order before our group was done she was walking away. It also It also took 50 minutes for us to get our food to our table. Unfortunately the food was cold when we got it too. Unfortunately I would not recommend this place to someone who has a party larger than 2. read more

Lucy's has the best biscuits and gravy I've had in Grand Rapids--and honestly, the best I've had in a while. It's rich, comforting, and packed with flavor without feeling too heavy. We also got a cinnamon roll to split at the end, and it completely lived up to the hype. It's incredibly flavorful and buttery. It's not overly cinnamon-forward like some can be, which I actually loved--it makes it feel more balanced and unique. Easily one of my favorite pastries around town. We added ourselves to the Yelp waitlist ahead of time, which definitely helped, but it's still worth noting that Sundays for brunch are insanely busy. I've already gone back multiple times just to grab a cinnamon roll to go. Definitely worth a visit if you're in Grand Rapids. read more

Tried brunch here and ordered the steak and eggs with potatoes. Overall it was just an okay experience. The potatoes weren't cooked all the way through and the steak was a bit chewy, so the dish didn't quite hit the mark for me. One thing I did really enjoy was the pineapple juice it tasted super fresh and was honestly the highlight of the meal. My partner tried their spicy hash and their Vietnamese coffee and enjoyed both. It was pretty busy, so I'd definitely recommend reserving in advance or joining the waitlist ahead of time if you can. The space itself is nice, and next time I think I'd keep it simple and just grab a coffee and a pastry from their bakery! read more

The only thing that was "wrong" was the weather, which the staff and owners of Lucy's couldn't have done anything about. The food was creative, well presented, and tasty. The atmosphere was very nice. read more

Wow! If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Our waitress was the kindest person ever. We went for breakfast and started with a Bloody Mary. We ordered the jalapeno corn bread with honey butter. The bread was so moist and when you add the honey butter, it was a match made in Heaven. Since I don't ever make eggs Benedict, I always order this when dining out. It was amazing! The restaurant is very nice and cozy. Big place with plenty of seating. If you go, you can check online to see if there is a wait list. They also serve lunch! Just go. You won't be disappointed. One more thing that I found interesting was the to go containers were marked with the date you visited. I was fascinated with this. read more

Stopped into Lucy's this morning for a brunch with a couple of friends. Love the atmosphere here and variety of items on the menu. Our food did take a lot longer than expected.

Would definitely order again. read more

Amazing breakfast and really good coffee. My wife had Huevos Rancheros and said there's a sauce they used that put it over the top delicious.

It is so good. We split three omelettes that were fantastic. The cinnamon roll was amazing. Such a lovely spot.

Delicious!! I recommend the waistline ahead of time because it can be really busy. The service is always great and thirty baked goods are absolutely delicious. The apple fritter is the absolute best around! read more

Food was delicious. We ordered the Asian salad, mushroom and build your own breakfast. Everything was tasty. The salad was savory with enough dressing. Just love the fresh veggies with a little peanut crunch and orange sweetness. Lindsey took care of us and she was wonderful. Checked on us, was friendly and professional. Place was big with outside seating. They have their own parking. read more

This place is popular for breakfast so there's always a wait. I recommend joining the wait list on Yelp. I've heard great things about their breakfast so I was so excited to try it. I had their feature which was a bulgogi beef omelette with fried rice, stir fry veggies, kung pao sauce, sesame seeds and green onions. I've never had anything like that before and it was delicious! My friend got the build your own vegan breakfast and the chocolate chip pancakes. I hope we get lucky again to try the other options on the menu! read more

Food was great today! Ambience was very stressful. We sat at the bar which was available when we came in. But toward the end of our meal, we had people standing next to us waiting for someone on the counter to finish so they could sit. Another couple shared out loud how uncomfortable it was and how the staff was ok with putting that kind of pressure on the customers. One couple left and three ladies came to sit down, two sat down and one stood up as if she was waiting for us to finish. I'd strongly recommend the restaurant staff tells clients to use the chairs by the second door if they are waiting on a counter table. The stress messes the whole experience of eating out. read more

Lucy's is a super popular brunch spot - it was even listed as #12 on Yelp's list of top brunch places in the US! This can mean long wait times, but they currently use the Yelp waitlist feature so you can add your name to the queue before you arrive. I've visited Lucy's many times over the years and have always enjoyed my experiences there. My most recent visit was on New Year's Eve morning and it was pretty busy, but my friend and I got seated right away and didn't have to use the waitlist. I ordered the Creston scramble (corned beef hash, Lucy's potatoes, white cheddar, pepper, onion, bechamel, and scrambled eggs served with toast) with a side salad, and my friend got the BYOB breakfast. Our food was served in a timely fashion and everything was hot and fresh. I loved the fresh salad and the simple vinaigrette. The Creston scramble was a big portion and tasty as leftovers the next day. My friend's BYOB breakfast looked so good - very simple but everything was cooked perfectly. Our server did mix up our checks a bit, but it wasn't really a big deal. Lucy's will stay a go-to spot for me, although I do wish they mixed up the menu a little for more variety. They have their own small parking lot, but it fills up quickly so be prepared to park on a nearby side street. read more

Lucy's is a neighborhood favorite for us! I usually go for the breakfast sandwich because the dill biscuit is amazing, but I opted for their weekly feature, the southern cluckin' omelette. The chicken was seasoned so well, and the fruit on the french toast was so fresh! It's always busy in here but the kitchen is back there working hard! We always opt to park across the street at City High so we don't have to worry about the small lot. read more

We are never disappointed when we eat at Lucy's. Their "wait list" system is well worth using, as they are always busy. A sign of excellent service and food. I would highly recommend Lucy's! read more

Food was awesome. Best French toast in Grand Rapids. The omlettes looked good. Our server was very attentive and was efficient. The only issue, if it can even be considered an issue, is that it's a breakfast place that doesn't open until 8. Seems like it should be earlier. read more

Service: we started at the bar and the 2 female bartenders were so much fun! We had the breakfast shots and I had the Bloody Mary "the works' which came with the best small BLT sandwich. Food: food portions were big and delicious. I had the sausage and grits which was made perfectly. We also had the BYOB, Sy's Pot Pie (deconstructed shepherd's pie) and a meat lovers omelette. Ambiance: the restaurant is pretty big with some counter service, tables and booths. There is even a second level upstairs. The wait wasn't too long. Really awesome breakfast restaurant!! Totally recommend. read more

Lucy's - you have surpassed my brunch expectations. It was my first time and I already cannot wait to go back. I had no idea that they were listed in Yelp's top brunch places but I can totally see why. I had read a lot of reviews that there would be a wait but we came on a weekday around 10:45am and there was no wait. It was a perfect day to sit outside too. Sorry I do not have any pics to share but I hope my words alone would sway you to try it. It was an incredible brunch! The breakfast sandwich was unforgettable--sausage and cheesy eggs all stacked on a warm cheddar dill biscuit that was bursting with flavor. That biscuit was the star of the show! The breakfast potatoes were perfectly crispy and seasoned to perfection. I tried the mimosa and it was light and bubbly! Everything hit the spot. Great food, great vibe--I'll definitely be back! Our server was awesome! Quick service! I almost forgot that we had the deviled eggs for an appetizer! They were so rich! I loved the pickled red onion that was added to the dish. Overall - this place was amazing. read more

Food is excellent and restaurant is beautiful. My server was attentive and I highly suggest checking in online since wait times is high

Stopped in for brunch on a weekend. The place was pretty full but we got a table right away. I think they also have an online waitlist so that is worth checking before you drive over. The service was very friendly and extremely fast. The food came out very quickly! I ordered the eggs Benedict which was pretty spot on for what you would expect. Nothing crazy, but a very solid dish overall. Make sure you ask for the hashbrowns crispy for a little extra crunch. The interior is very nicely done and it gives a feeling like you're actually in someone's home/kitchen. Overall, Lucy's is a solid breakfast/brunch spot with great prices, food, and atmosphere. read more

I was looking for a breakfast spot to take my daughter and sit outside on a patio and Lucy's was exactly what we were looking for. I wish I joined the waitlist on Yelp before arriving since we had to wait for 20 minutes and they literally just have a tablet there to join on Yelp anyways. Our server was very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. The Chai Tea Latte was very good and perfect to enjoy outside. The kids classic breakfast was the exact same as the BYOB on the main menu. My daughter enjoyed hers and we brought the extras home for another meal. The prices are higher than an average diner but you're paying for higher quality and a nicer atmosphere. The parking was easy with 2 lots and free street parking. On the way out, we grabbed a donut from the glass case and my daughter loved it. We will definitely be back. read more

Lucy's is excellent, consistently. But it's not on my short list for a weekend breakfast or brunch only because it's so incredibly popular and I know there will be a wait. Joined the list online via Yelp and showed up at the restaurant to physically check in about 15 mins before the earlier time in the projected range of when my party would be sat. Waited for about an additional 10 mins and was promptly greeted and sat after the confirmation text that our table was ready. Our server was efficient and warm, and was able to take our complete order when coming to the table. The food came out quickly and was excellent, but real truth, the bacon roll is TOO GOOD. The stuff of dreams! I appreciate the way that Lucy's has streamlined their operation over the years. Parking can be a challenge, but I lucked out and with a small amount of patience, secured a spot in their adjacent lot. read more
