LUCY'S @🚦4570 N Broadway Ave. IS GREAT! Like another reviewer wrote I've walked past it for sure 100 times🤣living nearby. 1st x went in there my Son ordered the BUFFALO BLUE FRIED CHICKEN SANDWICH NOT ONLY WAS IT HUGE BUT I TASTED IT & REALLY😊GOOD! I FOR SURE WOULD GET IT MYSELF IN FUTURE! I ordered the Fried Pickles, eat earlier just not really hungry that day but they were VG also with great side sauces! The inside is TOTALLY AWESOME, decor & music is "MY guess" from hmmm....60's & 70's TOO COOL! PLUS walking past LUCY'S on Broadway St. someway somehow (not always🤔) you can hear the oldies music outside on speakers in which it not only gives a very fun but also a very comfortable vibe!!! TY UPTOWN Uplift, Chamber Of Commerce, Alderman, City of Chicago etc. & LUCY'S cuz just allowing the music outside not only picks up customer's but it also leaves a memory of "Uptown" to stay here & ppl to come back!!! I absolutely loved it inside along with my Son loving it too! I stopped in there walking by 2/1/24⏰8:50pm just checking it out. OMGosh the 2 gentleman Nate & Karl working near closing it up where super! Not only were both 2 staff N & K made me feel very welcome, but also knowing that I was not ordering anything that night as I was just checking it out cuz my Son had picked it to go to, living out of state when he visits♥️me a few times every year. Tonight Fri.6/7/24 about 4:45pm I walked in hoping to find out both gentleman's names, coincidentally I recognized both of them, sooo...I never knew them mentioning their names in previous post, but again both Nate & Karl both were working today being very kind, helpful & accommodating! I hope that both of these 2 employees get recognition deserving it, as they really went above & beyond necessary being cool, welcoming & kind...helloooo repeating near closing time 2/1/24 & today 6/7/24! These pics r absolutely nothing like it is inside, well worth going there yourself! If u can sit near entrance door east side window w/great stools DIRECTLY on window side Broadway Ave. & Wilson St. it's fun watching outside the ppl, VERY BUSY area Wilson Red line around the corner PLUS!

Ah, Lucy’s Fried Chicken and Smashburgers—the latest overhyped joint that left us wondering if we’d accidentally wandered into a nightclub instead of a restaurant. Seriously, the music was blasting so loudly that we were practically communicating in sign language or resorting to shouting like frenzied auctioneers. A gentle suggestion: let the manager know it’s a dining experience, not a rave. After a good 25-minute wait, our food finally arrived. The **Signature Spicy Fried Chicken Sandwich** was, shall we say, lukewarm at best—despite the enthusiastic suggestion to add "Lucy’s Super Hot Hot Sauce" for heat lovers. I’d rate the spice level a generous 5 out of 10, with the coleslaw failing to complement the chicken in any meaningful way. On the bright side, the extra-crispy fries were decent, which makes me wonder how depressingly soggy the regular ones must be. And then came the **Juicy Lucy**—the burger that boldly promises to be a molten-cheese masterpiece. We asked for it medium-rare but received a medium-well patty. Again, lukewarm. All in all, it’s a perfectly average spot if you’re in the mood for a one-time underwhelming experience. Not the worst, but far from deserving the hype. Lucy, your chicken may be fried, but my enthusiasm is stone-cold. Solid 5/10.

I arrived here with my son and sister around 5:13pm on a Friday evening to grab some food before heading to an event that nearby. The order was placed at 5:15pm. I got a double bacon jam burger and I got my son a plain burger. I got us a side of fries to share with a classic lemonade. They do not have combos and do not have fountain drinks. (After visits to a few burger places, I see it’s common to not have combos and that the entree and side must be ordered separately; I don’t know why that is considering most people do get a side). The burger was delicious! The fries were mediocre. They were unevenly cooked. I would’ve liked more seasoning on them as well. I will say that it was a large portion ams sharable. I’ve never had the brand of lemonade before but I enjoyed it. They have a section where you can get your own ketchup in a cup. They have free water as well in an antique “gasoline” container. This was neat. The atmosphere and decor was very cute. They had booths, tables by the window, and a large, high top table, which we sat at. It wasn’t busy as there was only 1 other party there, eating. A couple more parties arrived while we were eating and/or as we left. Staff was friendly and I would return, if I’m in the area again.

The best burgers in the area! I did takeout a lot when I was pregnant and each burger made my life significantly better. I took my daughter here after we moved to a different neighborhood and she loved the atmosphere and ambience. It’s such a comfy and cozy spot to eat, the food is 10/10, and the staff treat you like good family. I wanted to note that even though I’ve been a loyal fan of Lucy’s since 2020, I fell off when it came to the name changes in their menu. I called to be sure I would order the correct burger (honestly, any burger by them would be sufficient and is worth a try) but I got the pleasure to speak with Sofia, who was AWESOME. They were so knowledgeable about the menu and just overall SO kind and accommodating, I felt like I was solidifying dinner plans with good friends. Sofia was so helpful and took the time to explain things to me in an “explain it like I’m 5” kinda way but in no way did they seem annoyed or condescending even though I was asking very basic questions and currently they are very busy with customers. They were just extremely welcoming and pleasant and made me love Lucy’s even more. Today is my birthday and Sofia made it really great by just being so kind and making me feel like I’m welcomed and appreciated. 10/10 would recommend the menu (delicious), employees (fantastic and so sweet), and the beautifully decorated location in Uptown that transforms you from a busy street to a warm and welcome atmosphere. I always recommend Lucy’s to people in- or out of town for the tremendous service, exceptional food, and the value for your dollar. I’ve never had a bad experience and I’ve been eating at Lucy’s for almost 5 years. Thank you, Sofia!! You make this location...

Too expensive for the food that they serve and the service is EXTREMELY poor! I went in there on a Saturday around 5pm after getting off work. I ordered a hamburger(cost:$12.00) and a side salad. When I asked what kind of pop they served, some dude with long hair told me sarcastically "Soda." Trying to keep my cool after a hard day's work I said "do you have Coke-Cola?" He acted like I was asking for the moon! And when I asked what kind of salad dressing did they have, he said "we only have one kind." Now even McDonald's has more than ONE kind of salad dressing, and when my hamburger was served to me, McDonald's is WHERE I should have gone: Lucy's "burger" was as SMALL as one of those slider burgers that they serve at White Castle! I'm thinking: is THIS what I paid $12 dollars for? Even with 2 burgers, there was not much taste to the thing, and it was gone in 4 normal size bites! There were NO condiments on the table, and the waitress was acting like I was asking for the world when I asked her for some mustard! If you are not willing to get the customer what they want and need, what is the point of coming to their table and asking if EVERYTHING is all right when you really don't want to know? All and all, and I HATE to give a place a bad review, but it would be a disservice to my readers if I gave this place a good one: PLEASE only go to Lucy's on Wilson and Broadway in Chicago if you are 1: STARVING and 2: you like wasting your HARD...
