Great venue, vibe, root beer floats, and brussels sprouts. Hot dogs were okay. Dog Haus is still on top for me. Tater tots were plain. I'd go here again with friends and order the sides. read more

Lucy's on Lighthouse - Chiquita swirl, blueberry cheesecake and pomegranate sorbet. - Hot Dogs Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

Really fun night at the first ever comedy show at Lucy's on Lighthouse! What a great atmosphere laughing with everyone under the stars.

This was our second visit to Lucy's on Lighthouse and just as good as the first! Great food, great service, and a really fun atmosphere. One of our friends said, "Lucy's is so cool it makes Pacific Grove a cooler place" and honestly, what a great compliment! The vibe is surfer/skater fun and brings me back to the late 90s/early 2000s. There is a small parking lot, additional street parking, a cute enclosed outdoor seating area, long bench along the order line entrance, an order counter, and indoor seating. There are only a few larger tables indoors, but it is worth the wait if you need one. We tried a few different hot dogs, tater tots, a hard root beer float, and a milkshake. Last time I had a mocha. Nothing disappoints at Lucy's. The hotdogs are Nathan's and super juicy, the pulled pork is a little sweet and delicious topping hotdogs or tots, and the ice cream is Marianne's, which you just can't go wrong with. The owner and employees are incredibly nice, are always cleaning so the place is spotless, and they seem like really great people. I highly recommend Lucy's on Lighthouse for a mellow lunch or dinner, coffee stop, or even just dessert. We'll be back soon, and we're trying the banana split next time! read more

Hot Dogs galore! If you're a hot dog fan, this place is. must!! What you don't hear about is the CORN DOG!! Holy smokes! That is a hidden gem! I've had many a corn dog in my life, but this one takes the cake. The service was very fast and friendly. The relaxed vibe makes it easy to chill and chat for hours. read more

Still one of our fave places to visit when we come to town. We actually stayed next door at Sea Breeze and walked over each day. The Marianne's ice cream is top notch. The Illy coffee is good and the food is great. They had a celebration for their anniversary with some fun events when they were there. Live bands, hot dog eating contest, a vendor and good vibes! I love a good crunchy corn dog and tater tots. Theirs deliver in a major way. Nice crisp on the outside with a hot steamy center. The corn dogs have that nice touch of sweetness. The tater tots have that perfect crunch and soft interior. I went basic this time, but they have quite the variety to choose from. IMO it's a must stop when we come to Pac Grove. read more

We ordered the Dunes, Otters, Lover's Point, Wallride (tots), and Ollie (tots), along with a few drinks. The prices were reasonable for gourmet hot dogs. All of the hot dogs were cooked perfectly, and the flavor combinations were spot on. The tots were delicious--nicely crispy--and the Lucy sauce was excellent. The chili leaned a bit more toward a tomato-based flavor and was slightly tangy for my taste, but still not bad. The ambiance was cool and skater/surfer vibes. Great spot for after a surf or skate around Monterey. Aside from that, the staff was super friendly, and the overall food quality was phenomenal. We'll definitely be back to try more menu items. And a huge plus: they offer Marianne's Ice Cream, our favorite ice cream spot in Santa Cruz. read more

We usually LOVE this place but had a pretty rough customer service experience today. We were not being confrontational but felt like we were being treated as such. Also felt lied to about something. Long story short, there was miscommunication on what was ordered, we were offered a swap out of a hot dog that was already cooked, never asked for a swap just offered it only to later be told no we had to pay for it. The two women working were acting like we were being confrontational and they was never our intention. Just wanted to talk the "boss" who they said told them no but wasn't even working that day'. I don't believe the customer is always right but that dosnt mean there can't be a place for a conversation. This is a place that we were loyal to and have come to on the weekends for about two years now. Still great atmosphere and great dogs but we are turned off for a while after this and don't plan on coming back any time soon. read more

Uniqueness: Hidden skater gem in the Pacific Grove neighborhood that feels like you're in Santa Cruz!

Get the Asilomar, any tater with toppings, and a milkshake and you'll be set for the rest of the day! If I were to scan the inside of Lucy's and make a wild guess where this place is located, I would 100% assume we're in Santa Cruz but little would I know this is located smack dab in Pacific Grove, close to Asilomar and the nearby golf course. A hidden gem in the Pacific Grove neighborhood, Lucy's is a perfect hot dog spot that's far from all the tourist traps you see in Canary Row. You'll get some of the best hot dogs topped with amazing toppings--from avocado, grilled onions, pulled pork, it's a beautiful mess that you'll be craving for more once you're finished. Lucy's also has a variety of tater tot sides and as well as their signature Dick Verde, which is a glazed, grilled Brussel sprouts that is amazing. They also have a large dessert options as well, from milk shakes and soft serves to dirty desserts with alcohol as well. Service here is such a chill environment from all of their staff and the owner, a laid back skater vibe that matches the relaxing beach atmosphere you'd see in Santa Cruz. They have live performances from time to time that sing in the outside seating with spacious seating all around to enjoy your food with. Price-wise, of course you'll be spending around 10 or more for a hot dog but it's a very good quality hot dog in my opinion that was worth the price. Lucy's is a perfect spot for enjoying premium hot dogs that's perfect for any age. Whether it be a quick meal, a date, or simply a catch up with friends, you'll definitely have fun trying Lucy's out so be sure to give this place a try. read more

Lucy's On Lighthouse is probably the coolest spot on the Peninsula with the surf and skate decor and attitude along with delicious and original spins on the simple hot dog. Owner, Jolene, is a hoot and so sweet! She has the best staff - just super friendly people all around. You order at the counter, grab a number and have a seat either inside or outside in their patio if weather permits. Usually the wait is not too long before one of the friendly servers delivers your food. Tots are always crispy, never greasy. The dogs are great - so many options, but I just love the Spanish Bay (bacon wrapped dog, gaucamole, nacho cheese, tomatoes, onions and grilled jalapeno) so I tend to get that one more often. This visit my husband went with the Cliff House, but subbed a Polish sausage. It was topped with sauerkraut, pickle relish and mustard. Both delicious, but I really liked the Polish sausage. These dogs are loaded. I always need a knife and fork to get through it else I would probably be wearing my toppings. Generous portions for sure! During the summer months, they have live music on the patio outside which definitely draws a crowd. So much fun! They do serve wine and of course beer as well as coffee drinks. They also have Marianne's ice cream and will serve a Mermaid Mimosa (a scoop of pomegranate sorbet served with bubbles in a goblet. Such a fun spot! Definitely recommend a visit if you have not been. read more

This one of the best places we stopped at on our trip to have a bite! It was a great price for everything we got! I got the basic corn dogs and they were the best I've ever had!

We were looking for a lunch after a morning out at Lover's Point and came across Lucy's on Yelp. This place is amazing! If you love skating and surfing, watched Rocket Power and California Dreams growing up, and played THPS, this is the spot for you. The restaurant is decked out with skateboards, surfboards, posters, and pictures- you kind of have to see it for yourself! The food is pretty solid - corndogs, hot dogs, tots, ice cream and they serve adult beverages as well. I imagine the place gets really busy during the summer, but it was great for an early January outing. We will definitely bookmark this place for the future! read more

Finally made it to Lucy's after seeing them featured on KQED's Check, Please program. We had the Reefs hot dog which is served with chili & crispy onions on top. We also had the Cobblestones hot dog which is wrapped in bacon, pulled pork, BBQ sauce & grilled onions. Both hot dogs were good. The toppings were good but just know that the meal fits neatly in the plastic serving basket so it's not the largest size. I gave part of my meal to my dining companion to make sure he would have enough. We also ordered a side of brussel sprouts which was very good, as they were fried just the right amount with a drizzle of balsamic vinegar glaze. They have many options here and also a bunch of sides, coffee drinks, Marianne's ice cream (a Santa Cruz-based business), milkshakes, floats, and other beverages including beer. They have their own parking lot although street parking is not a problem. Cute place decorated with skateboards, surfboards, and decent service. We will bring our kids next time. Lots of indoor and outdoor seating. read more

My husband and I suggested Lucy's to the rest of our family because the vibe is relaxed enough for our 4 adults, 2 kids, a toddler, and a newborn. The food was fantastic again but this is a customer service review. We somehow left the diaper bag behind. My wallet was in the bag and Lucy herself found me on Instagram to let me know. We were able to get the bag before they closed for three days and were very appreciative! read more

Saw you on KQED, Check Please! Though we had just finished eating, we came here for a dessert & to check it out!

Entered into a largely displayed, descriptive, lots of options Menu for Mariannes Ice Cream and tons of hot dogs!! My smile widened at the many options We grabbed a Homemade Chili Dog, a must pair of Corn dogs, my favorite just right Tots & a round of Ice Creams for everyone. Everything was tasty & hit the spot.

Great hotdog. Not so great milkshake. Too thin for me. But it was still tasty. The ice cream is good. They just use too much milk. Need to make it a little thicker to be excellent. Hotdog was great, however read more

So much love about this place. Local Friendly Live Music All sorts of awesome hot dogs/toppings Family friendly If only I didn't hate hot dogs. And decide from loaded tater tots and fries and ice cream. There's literally nothing else on the menu but hotdogs. Now, if they were to offer a hamburger dog, and I could get a hamburger dog with all their various toppings 5/5. Until then...I take my son there and I eat elsewhere. read more

Lucy's is the spot to hit after a long day at the beach or just a casual hang out for hotdogs and ice cream. Love the beach vibe with the surfboard and skateboard decor. Service is amazing! Long line? No problem. It moves fairly fast and you're greeted with a smile. Orders come out quickly too. Lots of hotdog variety options. Hard to decide because I want all the toppings loaded: Mac & Cheese, chili, tots ... Great thing is you can get all that as sides! My favorite side is Duck Verde! They know how to make Brussels Sprouts good!!! They also serve Marianne's ice cream! They make banana splits and root beer floats!!! And also a delicious mimosa with their sorbet. This is definitely a stop when you're at Asilomar State Beach. read more

A group of us were staying at a hotel nearby and decided to stop here on our way back from a day at Canary Row and Fisherman's Wharf. I've gotta be honest I'm not a huge fan of hot dogs but it was quick and easy and omg the hot dogs here were SO good! I tried the boneyards dog and shove it tots and both were so tasty! The service was quick and there is plenty of seating inside and out. Simple menu of hot dogs and tots but the fixin's and choices on each make the menu appealing for everyone! I will definitely come back and recommend. I can't wait to try other options. read more

This spot is everything pacific grove needs. Awesome decor, yummy comfort foods, and fantastic staff! To top it off, they've got superb malts. My kiddo loves Lucys, and she's a tough one to please.

It's good. The malt was spectacular, the dog is indeed better than the average and the tots are way better with their in house yellow sauce--make sure to ask for extra of that! i asked for another bun just because the asilomar was loaded with goodness and they even offered to give a whole new which wasn't needed but is an indicator of good service to me. vibes are great and Monterey always has the best weather for sitting outside, very spacious and decent parking. Times are the weirdest part of this place, closes pretty early and only open 4 days a week but they seem to be doing great so more power to them! read more

Lucy's is a must-visit spot every time I come to stay with my parents in Monterey. Their gourmet hot dogs and loaded tots and are always amazing. As an Arizona resident, I appreciate and have enjoyed their Sonoran dog spinoffs , but my go-to order is the Dunes dog with onions, light on the mustard. It's a huge portion, but always delicious. We have some very tasty hot dog options in Tucson, but nothing quite like Lucy's. read more

So we placed an order as their hours said they were open today and their online ordering was also still on, so we ordered. When we go to pick up, nobody's inside and their phones aren't set up to leave a voicemail either.

This place makes great Hot Dogs. They use Nathan's hot dogs. The only bad things is while eating your Hot Dog you feel like something is missing.. No Chips, No Fries, No Onion rings, Nothing to go with your Hot Dog. Cole Slaw has no liking here most throw them away as I watched them do it... Its like going for a drive with no car. They do have Tater Tots. Which is like frozen nuggets in a microwaved and soggy not crunchy. Corn Dogs are Frozen so you cant go wrong there. Ice cream is a winner here for sure. Its probably the only thing you can look forward to at the end of the meal. But sill at the end you still feel like your missing that Salty Crunch that you would get with Chips or Fries. They said that if they had fries they just don't want to deal with the grease. SO.. ADD SOME CHIPS PLEASE. Bring your own with you when you go. Do you think they'd ever listen if you suggested adding chips or something salty to go with the hot dogs? Or are they kind of set in their ways? read more

Hip surf/skate atmosphere. Very clean. The food was good, EXCEPT for the chili. It doesn't taste like hot dog or coney chili at all. It was as if you tasked an Italian with no knowledge of diner/chili dog culture to make chili: overly sweet and tomato-y. I hope they get a proper chili for the dogs/fries/tots. read more

I want to see this place succeed. They do a lot for the community and host some excellent live music. But the food lately has disappointed me. It's rarely served hot, but fried Brussels sprouts that have been sitting for God knows how long and served at room temperature are not appealing. And the Wallride (tots covered in chili and fixins) I got not too long ago was lukewarm and barely had any chili. I guess in the future I'll eat before I go there and limit myself to ice cream and/or adult beverages. One more note--some additional heat lamps would be nice. It rarely gets hot in PG. read more
