Dick Verde: Brussel Sprouts are crispy with enough mass to really sink your teeth into! The balsamic vinegar adds enough sweetness to make each bite addicting. Just the right amount of char and flavor! Butter Brickle Malt Milkshake: Pretty solid! Thick creamy milkshake. Tasted like what Butterbeer would taste like. Roadsides hot dog: This hotdog was pretty sweet with the bbq sauce and sauteed onions. The dog is wrapped in bacon and topped with mac n cheese. It's a little hard to eat such a stacked hotdog but that's really not a complaint. Why complain when you get more of a tasty meal? I do wish I could order a pickle or something sour that I could use to contrast the hot dog in between bites. Overall, the food menu looks really interesting, the food is delicious and I'd love to continue to explore the menu the next time I visit. The service is friendly and the food comes out relatively fast! Ambiance wise, it's a pretty laid back beach skater vibe with lots of decorations to look at! I got the pleasure to come here on a day where there was a live band and it really added to the atmosphere. Highly recommend stopping by here when you get a chance. :) read more

Surfer / skater dude vibe snack / dessert shack along the lighthouse blvd near the Monterey coast (technically pacific grove?). Good place to take a break and something for all tastes! Food is tasty and hits the spot good for a midday snack or to rest up a bit.

I've passed this place almost every time I come out to visit the area. It always seems closed and when I came this time it's open days are Thursday to Sunday and we finally got to try it. I wanted to know what the hubbah was about. Firstly, it's such a convenient walking distance from the accommodations we have stayed at before. Next there's plenty of seating inside and out. You order up front and they'll bring it to your seat. Mine did not take long at all to arrive. There are so many options of hot dogs to choose from and also non-hot dog items. I was told by someone to try the Dick Verde (roasted brussel sprouts), which were roasted to a perfect smoky crisp that had a twist of balsamic. Then I got the Lovers Point dog (which incidentally was perfect as we visited Lovers Point earlier that day). It is topped with the Guac, tomatoes, green onion, and Lucy's sauce. (I had to omit the jalapeño). I tried the fog latte -- a tad bit too sweet for me but uses real honey. They have several flavors of ice cream too! Overall, I appreciate how convenient this spot is. So casual and fun. Lots of options. Worth trying ! read more

The food, service and whole atmosphere of the restaurant was great. The menu had a lot of options, and I had the best corn dog I have ever eaten! The menu items had fun names (skateboard moves) and good music. Our whole group also order sundaes for after our meals, delicious. I recommend making this a stop if in the Monterey Bay area. read more

Lucy's on Lighthouse - Hot dog! - Hot Dogs Near Me - Pacific Grove, California

Lucy's is always my #1 recommendation when anyone asks where they should eat in PG. With a huge selection of hot dogs combinations, there is something for everyone. You can even sub a veggie dog for their hot dog combos. My personal favorite is the Bone Yards, a bacon wrapped dog with peppers, onions, and their delicious house sauce! But the fun doesn't end there- they have delicious tater tots and Brussels sprouts that are the perfect pairing for any dog. The Brussels sprouts are seriously delicious- maybe my favorite sprouts in the area. Perfectly crispy and drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze, it's impossible to only have one. While I haven't tried any of the coffees, it's hard for me to resist a scoop of Marianne's ice cream! The Chiquita Rip Curl is my go to. They even do milkshakes with any of the ice cream flavors. The atmosphere is beachy, cool and unpretentious. We typically elect to sit outside in their patio (weather permitting) which is cozy and cute. We love seeing all the dogs, too! They also have live music on occasion, which is a fun treat. read more

Kids, dogs, friends. Great Brussel sprouts!Tater tots and every kind of hot dog and corn dog. Also known for their shakes. Very casual enjoyable place with a great owner. read more

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

Thank you Lucy's for always being an iconic place to eat on the peninsula. My husband and I love how dog friendly you are so our boy can eat with us too. He loves weenies and your Roadside no bbq sauce is always my go to choice. It's heavenly macaroni and cheese with onions over a bacon wrapped hotdog. Our dog got a bit of the hotdog and loved it so much he spilled his water cup... We definitely will be back. The skating decor is always cool and the owner so sweet. 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

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

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

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

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

This place was so much more than I expected! Delicious Hot dogs! So many choices! And Brussel sprouts were delicious!

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

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

They no longer answer their phone during normal business hours. And it does not go to voicemail. I've literally let it ring 15 times --- on multiple occasions --- and no one ever picked up. So the only way to place an order is to go there, but because no other customers can place orders over the phone, there is now a long line to get average hot dogs. Plus, although their menu looks large, that is deceiving. They only have one type of hot dog, Nathan's basic hot dogs. They need to purchase different types of hot dogs and sausages to have a true varied menu, e.g., Louisiana Hot Links, etc . read more

Went there for lunch- hot dogs were great and the Brussels Sprouts were even better. Staff are super friendly. Highly recommend!

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

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

Saw you on KQED, Check Please! Though we had just finished eating, we came here for a dessert & to check it out! Arrived to locals relaxing, while enjoying live music at a nostalgic but beachy vibes establishment. 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. We will be back earlier to enjoy the overall full day vibes. 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

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.

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.

The entire vibe of this place is perfect. Live music, an airy outdoor seating area catching the ocean breezes while providing plenty of shade, and a cozy indoor seating area decorated liberally with skate and surf memorabilia: custom boards, custom decks, and vintage skate posters (keep an eye out for the OG Bobby Burnquist from X-Games piece!). The menus done in street art style really seals everything together. The food was AMAZING. First off was the Lover's Point, which was fresh flavorful. The Cobblestones was an out of this world combo of flavors and the pulled pork is peak. The Lucy's Sauce with the Ollie tots was the perfect dip. I'd characterize the sauce as a zingy honey mustard remoulade with a nice touch of spices. Finally we HAD to try out the Chiquita Ripcurl ice cream, made ONLY for Lucy's by the incomparable Marianne's Ice Cream in Santa Cruz. It was the perfect blend of peanut butter, chocolate, and banana. We also have to hand it to the owner, Joleen Green. The moment you meet her, you understand exactly why this place has such a good vibe. This woman eats, drinks, and sleeps the NorCal skate life, and it's clear her regular customers absolutely adore her. She greets them by name, she remembers their usual order, and she is incredibly personable. Joleen took the time to come over and chat with us about how we were enjoying the food and the location, as it was our first time, and it was such a great conversation. This is a lady who truly cares about the PG community and touches base on an aspect of Northern California life (skate and surf) that can sometimes be forgotten among the gingerbread Victorians of Pacific Grove. Also, get yourself the Fog Breaker! An absolutely amazing cup of coffee. read more
