We are in town for Gus Macker and needed a place to eat for lunch. Lucy's had amazing reviews, so we decided to check it out. Everything we had was amazing. Great food and our waitress was wonderful. read more

Amazing breakfast sandwich! Great cocktails!! We're from out of town but we'll be back!

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

Absolutely THE best food, service and depending on time of day very little wait!! Or sit outside with your group to wait and chat until your table is ready. Weekdays ask for Elizabeth to be your server! read more

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

Lucy's - Eggs Benedict - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

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 - Father Day Brunch with Mimosas - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

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

Lucy's was just published to be on the list of top 12 breakfast spots in the entire US! Stop in and see why. The food is delectable and also reasonably priced. I got the egg sandwich and while very buttery, I enjoyed every bite. My friend got the vegan scramble as she swears it's "just the best!" Service on the is as good as it can get when the place is slammed. With that said, expect a wait if you come on a weekend. Weekdays the restaurant is more empty so if you want a quick in and out go during the week. If you can get a table outside, I'd recommend that as the restaurant gets echoey and noisy during the rush. Also the cronuts are only made on the weekends so if you don't wanna wait for a dine in meal, stop at the bakery counter and pick one up!!!!!! read more

I heard that Lucy's had gotten on some list of best breakfast spots in the country and I was pretty skeptical. But man, they really know what they are doing. My chicken salad with cherries was outrageously delicious. Like, it had no business being that good. The peach cobbler bread pudding tasted like the best peach pie I have ever had. This has easily risen to top breakfast/brunch spot in GR on my list. Parking might be a bit of a hassle when it's a busy time, although lots of available seating inside and a gorgeous shaded patio. I'll be back v soon. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my brunch here! The food was a little pricey, but what isn't today? I had a hash and had great flavor and was plentiful. The drink was a bit strong, but admittedly I'm not a huge drinker. We sat outside so I don't have much to say about inside. I would go back in a heartbeat though! read more

Great service and great food. The kitchen was behind so we got a free donut for having to wait for our food

And just like that, Essence Restaurant Group (owner of Grove, Green Well, and Bistro Bella Vita) knocks it out of the park once again. They've got the best Italian in town. The best fine dining in town. The best lunch spot in town. And now, they're quickly cornering the best breakfast spot in town. Right off the bat, I'll say the ONLY aspect of Lucy's holding it back as a breakfast restaurant is the ambiance. I feel like I'm eating in a well decorated garage - concrete floors, cold industrial ceilings, and so much crowd echo that I could NEVER come here hungover (which, in my opinion, makes up approximately 65% of patrons for all breakfast joints). Breakfast has been, for me and many others, a comfort experience, which I think Lucy's might be lacking just a touch. Aside from that however, the food is delicious. . Breakfast is such an easy meal to prepare that I think a lot of restaurants kind of take eggs, potatoes and toast for granted. Not Lucy's. It's well crafted and seasoned head to toe. A tad pricy in my humble opinion, but you're getting a damn good (and damn well portioned) breakfast at one of the hottest joints in town. Everything is house made, which is to be expected from an Essence restaurant. And I mean Everything. The bread. The jam. The addicting bechamel sauce that goes well with every dish (order a side of it if it doesn't come on your plate and thank me later). Give Lucy's a shot if you're looking for the next level of breakfast food, and they're sure to deliver. Pro tip - get on the waitlist, as the place QUICKLY fills up after 10:00 on the weekends. read more

Lucy's - Coffee & Tea Near Me - Grand Rapids, Michigan

The new young servers this summer are AWFUL ! A young waiter is not friendly, doesn't listen to us when we order cuz he is too busy looking at the young girls passing by. Never smiles, gets the order wrong, ask him for a refill (he walks over to his phone first to read his text messages) he returns 10 minutes later with decaf pot (I drink regular) and ask if decaf was ok. takes another 10 minutes for my friend to get an iced tea. the old wait staff are great but these new hires, makes for an awful experience. Sitting outside our young waitress doesn't come to take our order, we have to ask another waiter to go get her. While I order, she tells me how I should order my omelets. She gets my friends orders wrong. we had to ask another waitress to get our waitress to correct the order since our waitress never returned to see how our order was. 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

Food is always amazing! Servers are always friendly regardless of how busy they are! Highly recommend Lucy's to anyone looking for a good brunch in GR read more

I've been to Lucy's multiple times and I always leave satisfied and happy. This restaurant is a rare experience with excellent food and service. The bakery is nice and sometimes I only stop in for a quick snack, as all products are excellent, in my opinion and experience. read more

First time! Waited awhile but they do have a line you can pre-arrival. Food very good! Would recommend!

Food, and Service is always top notch. Everything we've ordered has always tasted great.

Lucy's has officially been added to my regular list of rotating brunch/lunch spots. One of my new menu go-tos is the breakfast sandwich. Do not underestimate this option- it features their Cheddar Dill biscuit which is generously adorned with everything-bagel-seasoning and it's incredible. Their vegan sausage is so flavorful, and it has chili crunch aioli. *drool* My dining partners yesterday raved about their real meat sausage, saying it's some of the best they've had. Expect a pricier meal, though- my breakfast sandwich upgraded to vegan sausage (which comes with potatoes fyi) was $19, but it was super filling and I brought half of my sandwich home. read more

One of the best breakfast/brunch spots in GR! Great food, atmosphere, and lovely people.

Great food, generous portions and great service. The parking isn't great but plan ahead and you can find street parking.

Best Brunch in Grand Rapids. I love their corn beef hash and homemade biscuits with blackberry jam. Their coffee and mimosas are incredible.

The server was fantastic! She knew the menu well to make recommendations. Food was great! We got there before the rush so we didn't have a wait time, though it's definitely worth the wait! Great atmosphere and I always have an excellent time at Lucy's! read more

We love Lucy's - great food, great atmosphere. Recommend using the waitlist! We have always loved the food and coffee.

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

Best biscuits and gravy in the world and fantastic quiche. Coffee was very good too. Best breakfast ever.

I love Lucy's. Definitely one of the best breakfast/brunch spots in Grand Rapids in my opinion. You can go on their wait list online which is nice because they can get pretty busy on weekends. They are great with allergies and super knowledgeable about the ingredients in the food they serve! They also have vegan/vegetarian options! They have a lot of seating and the aesthetic is very modern. Overall a super cool place. Their parking lot is pretty small but you can park on the side streets and walk a short distance as well. This particular visit I went for the creston skillet and it was amazing. I would order this a million times over. All cooked perfectly and everything in the skillet tasted great together. Served with a fresh side of toast. I also took a cinnamon roll to go. They have some of the best baked goods here. I would definitely recommend!! They also have a good handful of coffee drinks. I had a latte with caramel and almond milk. It was a huge glass and lasted me the whole meal. I have had a handful of their other items before and everything is always great. read more

Went to Lucy's on a Saturday morning for the first time. I had heard it's a very good spot from a few friends and decided to give it a try as it's so close to me. Really liked the look of the place, very inviting, the wait was long but I anticipated it and joined the waitlist early, cutting our wait drastically which was great. As we are being seated my one and only problem with my experience begins. The woman's restroom is about 20 feet from where we are sitting and the door SLAMS. As this place is busy you can imagine this door is opened and closed about once a minute. In the middle of a joke? *SLAM*Having a delicate conversation? *SLAM* I would have loved to have focused more on the aesthetic of the restaurant or the swiftness of the service but I just could NOT ignore that door. My girlfriend told me inside the bathroom was even worse to the point where she would cover her ears. I enjoyed the andouille sausage and grits. My girlfriend had the Biscuits and Gravy, the biscuit was awesome. Food was great, service was great, ambience? Disregarded if that's considered acceptable. I would absolutely come here again, but you *SLAM* wouldn't catch me on that side of the restaurant again, incredibly distracting. read more

Ordered a BYOB and when I started eating it I found a black curly hair under my eggs. Dis!
