Tonight was the first time my bf, Austen and I have experienced a Juicy Lucy burger. I'm not sure why these aren't more popular around the country... it's one of the best I've had! Apparently, these cheese-filled burgers originated in Minneapolis and have made their way to Denver through Juicy Lucy's Burger Bar on Tennyson via Michelle and her amazing team. As an avid cheeseburger lover and seeker of the best food in the city- I can confidently say I've found my burger spot!!! The customer service was on point and everyone from the cook (I believe her name was Tiffany? I could be be totally wrong, but she knows who she is! Lol), the bartender/ server, Chad, to the owner were equally as inviting, warm and kind. You can tell they're a family just doing what they're passionate about, and doing it damn well!! This is an amazing addition to the Berkeley area! read more

I really want to rate Juicy Lucy's higher (3.5) because the staff is exceptionally friendly (keep those vibes!), and the quaint, chill atmosphere is so appealing. It's a great spot for a quick bite, and the fries are absolutely spot on. That said, the burger doesn't quite justify the price for me personally. The inconsistency--especially with some burgers being overcooked--makes the cost even harder to swallow for what's meant to be casual dining. While I'll still drop by from time to time for the atmosphere and convenience, the high price point makes it tough for this to become a regular go-to spot. read more

This place has been on the radar for a while, so after deciding to have a night out on Tennyson we thought starting with dinner at Lucy's was a great idea. I snapped a shot of the newer(?) neon sign on the way in - the inside is a classic diner set up with booths on one side and stools at the countertop. There were no questions about it - we were getting the the Juicy Lucy. There are a few other menu options, but you know what you have to have when you walk in here! Also ordered a large fry for the table to share, which was plenty. The burgers came out, instructions also provided. You don't want to ruin your tongue with molten lava cheese, right? They keep it pretty simple with grilled onions and pickles being the only toppings. You can add mayo, mustard, or ketchup if you like. This thing was no doubt juicy - oozing delicious cheese and the burger was sort of a smashed, flat top style and had a bit of a crust. Classic style bun, fresh beef flavor and cheeeeeese, all washed down with a Montucky. This is a must try and I'd say unique for Denver. A taste of the midwest that we didn't know we were missing. Come get your cheese on! read more

THE best Juicy Lucy's in Denver by far served up by friendly faces in a cool environment - what more could you ask for? Lucy's Burger Bar opened near Post Oak BBQ, and it is awesome to have another great spot to eat on Tennyson. These are Juicy Lucy's done the right way with the lava hot cheese with the texture that you both expect and love. They're planning to stay open until 11:00 PM, but they've frequently sold out earlier than closing during the first week. To make sure there are still Lucys before you arrive, follow them on Instagram! If you've never had a Juicy Lucy before, eat SLOWLY. As Uncle Jesse's evil cousin once said on Full House, "The cheese is hot." It's seriously hot, so you want to nibble on your first bites while your Lucy has its chance to get juicy. The lava cheese inside a burger is everything that you want it to be, and the staff is there to help with any first-timers. The menu is simple, but you're coming here for the Juicy Lucy with grilled or raw onions. I really don't think you can go wrong with either. It's not a big restaurant, probably half the size of Post Oak, but it feels like a neighborhood spot (because it is). I think that's a good thing. There are about 15 bar seats and a few small tables, so this might not be a place for a big group, but it's definitely worth checking out. If you've been craving a Juicy Lucy, Lucy's Burger Bar is already serving up some of the best burgers in Denver. read more

Lucy's Burger Bar - Jucy lucy. - Burgers Near Me - Denver, Colorado

It was juicy! The juicy Lucy surprised me. The service was great and they were able to advise on what to order. The burger was juicy. Don't let the photos hinder your judgement. It was good. Tips: let the burger sit for about a min. Nibble on the edge and let the steaming hot cheese ooze out. Pro Tip: place French fries under burger when you bite into it and let the juicy flow over. It was perfect. They do have some libations as well. This place is placed perfectly between a bbq place and coffee roaster. So many options but this place hit the spot. I will return, hungry for more. read more

Lucy's Burger Bar is absolutely the real deal. You will laugh, you will cry, and you will float down a sea of sensual cheese as you take your first bite into the Lucy burger. This Minnesota delicacy is here in Denver, and we are blessed to have it in our presence. Lucy's features several booths and a long, clean bar top for enjoying all your nostalgic diner memories. Every server, every bar back, every cook is mindful of your experience and makes sure that you feel seen and satisfied during your time in the burger joint. The Lucy burger is the one to get. Oozing with cheese and dripping with delicious juice, you'll thank the cow that gave you this bovine blessing of bodacious beef. They could have phoned it in with the fries and they DIDN'T. A half order of fries could feed about 3 people without breaking a sweat. Bring your friends, bring your family, even bring your enemies here because you'll leave with an experience you won't soon forget. Thank you Lucy's. We'll be back soon. read more

Ended up here when we came for the street festival. WOW! I started with fresh oysters, which is unexpected at a buffet joint, but they were outstanding! Amazing burgers. My wife got the sally and I the Lucy, both were flavorful and perfectly cooked. Fries were great as well. Definitely a must go! read more

I'm from Minnesota so I was really excited to find this place! It reminds me of Matt's in Minneapolis (try it if you're ever visiting). I had a pretty good experience and will definitely be back. The French fries need salt and the juicy Lucy could use more cheese. Next time I'll have to try a normal cheeseburger. read more

Soooo, I decided to treat myself to a "Juicy Lucy" at Lucy's Burger bar . ( I was part of the Denver Burger Battle this past summer, a consumer by the way ) I drove up today and was seated. 2 tables occupied the restaurant. The Juicy Lucy burger was $15 on the menu, I ordered a small side of fries, $4.50. Small Diet Pepsi, 3.50. AND they charged for lettuce. They CHARGED for tomatoes, WHO DOES THIS?! A thimble of Ranch Dressing? $1.50 to go with those dry fries. A 20% food service charge ON TOP OF YOUR BILL, because the managers and owners refuse to pay a living wage. Long story short, $37 for a diet-Pepsi, burger and fries?! OH HELL NO! I had no alcoholic beverage, no appetizer, no dessert. Granted the burger was " decent." But C'mon! I now realize why this place was empty! I'm sorry people, you can grill better burgers at home and then pay your phone bill and then pay your cable bill and NOT spend as much as you did at Lucy's. Sooooo not worth it. Stay home. read more

Let's just say this burger was so good, that I literally forgot to take a picture of it once it arrived before my husband and I devoured the entire thing in record time. After toasting to Mo C on her birthday, we stumbled our way over to Lucy's because burgers are life and after hearing about this spot, I needed it in my mouth. Like right then. My husband and I bellied up to the bar and snagged a spot for two, mainly because it was the only spot available (dude this place is popular), but proved to be a good idea, as service was on point and our food arrived quickly. We opted to split the Juicy Lucy - because DUH - and OMG it was so so so delicious. The bread was toasted and although it looks plain (no lettuce, tomato, onion and mayo), I assure you it is not. The meat is quality with just the right amount of grease, the perfect amount of ooze, and the gooiest cheese known to man that comes right from the middle of said burger!! LIKE OMG. Don't skimp on the fries, because although they are extra, they are amazing. YUM. We easily gobbled up our half burgers and happily went about our way and literally can't wait to return! ...and that's all she wrote. #burgerbabe read more

Interesting place. I stopped in with a friend last week during lunch. Service was slow even though it wasn't full. Fries were brought out 10+ minutes before the burgers. Wrong burgers were brought to us. $1.50 charge for the side of ranch we asked for. Burger was ok. Not a place for me, but others may like this type of experience. read more

juicy Lucy burger was delicious. 10/10 recommend. Great vibes, great food, great drinks.

My wife and I just ate there this Friday afternoon Nov. 3rd. We 1st went to the BBQ where no tables were open. We arrived to an empty place, we were the 1st ones there. My wife ordered the juicy Lucy and I ordered the sloppy Joe. Another table was seated maybe 4-5 minutes after we sat down. The table that arrived after us received their food before us, no huge deal. When our food came my Sloppy Joe was Cold. The bun must have come right out of the fridge along with the meat that was medium warm. I sent it back. My wife's juicy Lucy was nominal, at best, and the onions were raw when she ordered them sauteed. For $42 with the tip included I will not even remotely be back. Overpriced under valued food.

I'm here in Denver visiting a friend and we were both craving burgers. Realizing that Lucy's was only a 5 minute drive away and considering that it had gluten free buns (we both have gluten allergies), we decided to hop on over. I ordered the cheeseburger which comes with pickles and onions. Keep in mind that all other toppings can be added on, but for an additional fee. My friend ordered the Juicy Lucy, probably their most popular burger. I didn't try this one though. We also split a root beer float and large fries. My burger was pretty good; it definitely hit the spot. Just a classic, no frills, juicy cheeseburger. The food was good, but the service and surcharge are why I won't be back. There is a 20% surcharge which goes to staff. Granted, we were told by the server that there is a 20% surcharge before ordering. Yes, I recognize that we could have left. I wanted to give this place the benefit of the doubt though. If the food and service were pretty good, I could've overlooked the surcharge. Normally, for me though, I'd rather tip at the end of my meal based on how well my experience went. What bothered me most, however, was the fact that the server was simply not doing their job. The employee came to our table to tell us, "Sorry it's been taking long for your root beer float to come out. It's just that I've never been flirted on this much at my job." This person was implying that they were simply too busy flirting with one of the patrons to serve our food in a timely manner. The server continued to go over to this patron to "chat" throughout the night. Fortunately, I was able to get the attention of a different server who was helpful and attentive to ensuring that we got our food. I was appreciative of this. I hope that this poor service was only the result of this one individual. I spent $55 for two burgers, fries, and a root beer float. The 20% surcharge was generous for the service, or lack thereof. read more

Ah man - this was a disappointment! I'd heard good things about their burgers and that they have gf options. Went in with my husband and ordered the super sally burger with a lettuce wrap and took 3 bites of it and decided I was done.

I wish I could give Lucy's 3.5 stars but unfortunately that's not an option. Lucy's has some great things going for it... modern diner vibes, friendly staff, and some delicious crispy shoestring fries. However my Juicy Lucy just wasn't up to par. I've had Juicy Lucy's a few times and have even made them at home and I've never had such a flat patty with such a tiny amount of cheese. Thankfully the patty was juicy on the inside however the outside was burnt. I wish they had a few more topping options and ranch (yep I'm that girl that dips their fries in ranch). read more

Stuffed bleu cheese burger was freaking amazing. Staff was super friendly. Space might be small, but atmosphere and drinks were great

About 4 years ago, I tried my first (and only) jucy lucy in Minneapolis and have been fantasizing about it ever since. I've searched for it in other states, but just hadn't found any jucy Lucy outside Minneapolis that seemed worth seeking out...until now! It was....amazing. Perfect medium rare cook on the meat, delicious cheese oozing out of the Patties, flawless seasoning and toppings. I will DEFINITELY be back: this is authentic. read more

Great burger shop in a great location! The juicy Lucy burgers are so so delicious! They're so juicy and hot with cheese inside. I loved the fries as well and a regular order is definitely enough for two people. It was also fun to have a little appetizer of free pretzels. They played fun music and there was great service. We sat at the bar. It's a small place but we didn't have an issue getting a seat. Highly recommend! read more

We noticed this restaurant was on Eater Denver and we knew we had to try them out! We were greeted by Chad! This was so heartwarming because it is obvious that he enjoys running the restaurant. We had to order the Juicy Lucy of course! The cute note they served their burger with added a personal touch! Instead of ordering individual fries, we opted for a shared basket and it was the perfect amount! The cheese though... ! That oozing cheese was so delicious that I dipped my fries in it! It definitely hit the spot and filled my tummy! Chad then told us the history and inspiration behind Lucy's Burger Bar! Oh, he also mentioned Michelle. We didn't meet her but felt like I had for a moment! As we visited from SoCal, he was quite happy to know we found Lucy's!!!! This is a must have if you are in town! Thank you so much for your time! read more

Never have I ever had a Juicy Lucy...until Lucy's Burger Bar. Not sure if there are other spots that serve it in Denver, but this.......is all the juicy lucy I'll ever need. If you've never heard of it, a juicy lucy is a Minneapolis native - essentially a cheese stuffed burger and this is their specialty here. The hubs and I stopped in after some drinks and they were empty on a Saturday night. It's a small space, so this was a-okay by me. Sat at the counter and we were served by the friendliest souls. Their menu is short and sweet: burgers (single, double, and the juicy lucy specialty), a few other sandwiches if beef isn't your thing (chicken, grilled cheese, and a vegan black bean) and fries - that's it. They do have a full bar and a few beers on the menu. No fancy toppings - just onions (raw or cooked) and pickles if you'd like. Ketchup, mustard, hot sauce, and mayo packets at your disposal as well. We got in on the juicy lucy, of course, which I will say is a little pricey at $14 for just the burger. But man is it good! Two delicious (and custom beef mix) patties with American cheese in the middle cooked to perfection. I got mine with cooked onions and no pickles, added some mayo and that's it. The flavor of the beef spoke LOUDLY for itself. They give you a tip on how to eat it - as you can imagine, that oozey cheese is HOT when it first comes out the oven. So, patience is key, but this burger was so good! Juicy is an understatement. We also ordered the full order of fries which was nicely priced at $5 and the perfect amount for the 2 of us. Some solid burgers here and a little different from all of the other burger spots in the city with their truffle this and fancy cheese that - don't get me wrong, those are great too. But if you're looking for a straight up cheeseburger done with a twist, then you get yourself a juicy lucy. read more

Were the food and drinks I ordered worth the amount of $130 - in my opinion, absolutely not. So much of it was frozen and just reheated. Everything that was freshly made, they had ran out of. All you're left with is a heated up frozen chicken sandwich for $13. Not worth it. This place was delicious when they originally opened but have gone down hill in quality, small town quality of food with Tennyson street prices. The service was great, our hostess was so sweet, so that's a plus! Try the Juicy Lucy once for the experience (which is a la carte fyi) and then move on, such a bummer. read more

9.5/10 OK, I know the idea of a $14 burger with no sides sounds crazy for Tennyson BUT this is no ordinary burger! You've just stepped into the world of Juicy Lucy's - burgers stuffed with ooey gooey melted American cheese straight from heartland of Minnesota. The burger was amazing and perfectly seasoned. The fries though...OMG...the perfect amount of crisp and saltiness that will make your mouth water for more! My only draw back is the lack of an extensive beer and cocktail menu. read more

I was craving this place for an entire week ever since I saw the Tik Tok advertising those Juicy Lucy's! So obviously I ended up ordering that because there has only been one other time when I've had a stuffed burger and it was homemade, so I realized that I've gotta try a greasy diner version of that! My fiance, on the other hand, played it safe and ordered a regular cheeseburger. The moment I got it, I got a million warnings from the person who brought it telling me that it was extremely hot on the inside and that I need to just take a teeny gentle bite until it cools down. Heeding that warning, I did just that, but boiling hot cheese STILL zapped out of the patty and into my lip. It was a tiny bite so it was a tiny splash, but still got me howling like it was Halloween. Then I waited for maybe five minutes and tried again. This time, the cheese that was still boiling hot splashed across my thumb which hurt even more than my lip. At that point I was too scared to try again so it just sat there on my plate for a good while until I cautiously tried again. Luckily, it finally cooled down enough where I wasn't getting burned alive. So fun to experience a burger with stuffed cheese! Very tasty and fun and really filled me up. I am glad I did it for the experience. My fiance's cheeseburger, however, was one of the tastiest cheeseburgers I've ever tried. Goodbye In N Out. Goodbye Whataburger. Goodbye Five Guys. Hello regular cheeseburgers from Lucy's that is extremely gooey and delightful. I just took one bite and got SO hooked. I'd buy a dozen of these cheeseburgers to ration for the week if I didn't live so close, lol! Definitely coming back to snag a whole cheeseburger to myself and maybe try their grilled cheese. read more

Omg. So good. Lucy juicy hit the spot and the fries were hot and delicious. I might suggest coming to Dine-in as some of the juicy deliciousness might get lost with take out or delivery. I will be back! read more

Here me out here, I'm the king of "food hopping". If I want to know which burger is best I might eat 3 burgers from 3 places in one day to fully understand from a palatial perspective. This burger is ok the list. It's high on the list. My only advice is always get the same toppings on each burger you get to fully compare. Only reason I won't say this is the best burger I've ever had is because I didn't have other burgers same day to compare. But it feel like the best ever. It tasted like best ever.

// Summary A bit gimmicky to specialize in a Juicy Lucy (or a cheese-infused burger patty), but maybe worth a try? // Experience Came here with a couple of friends, and we each ordered a Juicy Lucy and shared a basket of fries. Pay close attention to the instructions to eat your Lucy, or else you might get a not-so-pleasant surprise! After some of the cheese oozed out, the remainder of the burger actually felt a bit dry. The fries were a bit bland, kind of like they were taken from a frozen bag and put into the fryer, and that's about it. // Service Service was fine. We were seated quickly and our waiter described what the Juicy Lucy was all about, and we got our food relatively quickly after ordering. // Ambiance This place has got a "classic diner" vibe to it - lots of those bar and booth seating in the small shop. Makes it feel pretty authentic that you're going to get a juicy burger. // Convenience Given that it's on Tennyson, be prepared to look for parking nearby on the side streets! read more
