    Very disappointed with my first trip to Lucys. I, like many have had the original Juicy Lucy in Minnesota and it was fantastic. While I loved the ambiance of Lucy's in Denver, the actually cheese stuffed burger was a major fail. First of all I didn't even see any cheese oozing out of the pattie once I bit into in. The patty was dry and the roll was over toasted and a bit stale. I am still wondering where the cheese was. Fries just totally medicore sad to say. No tap beers. Nor a fan of the automatic tip which our waitress told us about when we ordered. There also was another fee for cost of living or something. Sorry but I don't like these auto extras on my bill and its a complete turn off so I won't be going back. 2 burgers, 2 beers, 1/2 order of fries ...77.00$. Buyer beware.

    Lucy's was a cool, one and done, burger bar. Despite its small size, you can cram a lot of folks inside, lol. The wait staff was kind and friendly. The cocktails were what'd you'd expect, in terms of taste. This is where the "good stuff" ends. If you read no further and still wanna go, be ready to take out a small loan for your burger and fries meal. If you're still with me and curious, the short story is that Lucy's is *incredibly* overpriced - as in, are you kidding me?, overpriced. And props to the many Yelpers who've also called this out. We looked at the pics and didn't do our due diligence with reviews. Lesson learned. We just at a reservation only steakhouse and paid as much. Let that sink in. Anyway, here's what we ordered: 3 cocktails, a half order of fries that we shared and two burgers. We paid $120. They include a mandatory 20% gratuity, so keeping this in mind, our food and drink bill was $100. Maybe if our burgers had literally blown us away, we could've chalked this up to a "whoa, that was soooo good" and we'll return for a special occasion. But it wasn't. My guy ordered the Juicy Lucy. I ordered the Bluey (blue cheese stuffed burger). His was seasoned well while mine had zero seasoning and only two bites of blue cheese (that took me eating well over 2/3 of it to get to the blue cheese). And I love blue cheese. I was looking forward to a flavor that never materialized. The burger itself was bland. I was so disappointed. If you'd like any garnishings on your $17 burger - like lettuce, tomato or even bacon, you'll pay for each add on. It's a little much. Mustard and mayo are provided in a condiment basket, each in little packets. It's was almost comical. Anyway, you can tell I wasn't impressed. It's the little things or lack thereof that always get my attention. So, we each had a burger and 1/2 order of fries. Absolutely nothing special. The cocktails (margs) were good but again, ordinary. The bill was the only thing that was out of place. $120. Yikes.

    THE JUICY LUCY cheese-stuffed burger

    We felt very welcome as soon as we arrived. The server greeted us warmly, quickly brought water and menus, and took the time to explain the dishes along with their most popular options. The food came out hot, fresh, and absolutely delicious. The restaurant itself is on the smaller side and a bit dimly lit, but that didn't take away from the overall experience. We enjoyed everything and would definitely come back again.

    Honestly, so good! We will definitely be returning. Plus the service was so friendly and fast. We took to go, so can't speak on the ambiance necessarily.... But a great go-to step up from fast food for sure!

    We walked past this restaurant about a week ago and returned today to give their speciality, the Juicy Lucy, a try. Service was friendly and quick. The half order of fries was large but came out way before the burgers so we had finished more than half of the portion already. I ordered the cheeseburger, which was completely over cooked. Like no juice or flavor. The cheese was burnt, the onions were burnt, and it was just disappointing. The juicy Lucy was also somehow overcooked and dry. The melted cheese was the best part and at least gave the burger some flavors the onions were burnt again. Overall, we weren't impressed with the quality of the food and don't think it was worth $40.

    Located right in the heart of Tennyson Street, Lucy's Burger Bar delivers a dining experience that's as bold as it is cheesy...literally. Known for their inventive cheese-stuffed burgers, fun drinks, and standout oysters, this spot has quickly become a Denver favorite. I sampled a little bit of everything on my visit, and here's what blew me away: Juicy Lucy: The iconic Minneapolis-style burger overflowing with hot, melted cheese, paired with pickles and onions. The Saucy Sally: A double-patty marvel stuffed with American cheese and drizzled with thousand island dressing, topped with onions, pickles, and shredded lettuce so think of it as an upgraded, cheesier Big Mac. The Blucy: For blue cheese lovers, this is for you. Seafood & Sides: I enjoyed a half dozen oysters that were undoubtedly some of the best in Denver, a Chicken Finger Basket, and a Mac & Cheese Wedge Basket (complete with fries and pickles). Signature Drinks: The Lucy's Spritzer, a refreshing mix of pineapple-soaked vodka, champagne, and soda; a Spicy Margarita with pepperoncini-soaked tequila; a Galaxy Margarita accented with Cimarron Tequila and a salt rim; the playful Cardi B Rum Punch Pouch (an adult twist on a Capri Sun); and the Tart Cherry Star, made with tart cherry-soaked vodka and Starry soda. With special events like Bingo Mondays, BOGO Juicy Lucys on Tuesdays, and oysters available on weekends, there's always a reason to swing by.

    Ambiance is great, a throw back to the Soda Fountain, yet no ice cream with soda. This is a small quaint place in Berkley Area considered Lakewood/Denver, very nice village. The service is prompt and quiet amenable, large picture windows to view outside, comfortable small booths, about 4 and at the counter "old fashion stools." Charming. The menu is limited, and all is "A la Cart!" For people who like to munch down on any ordinary hamburger, with an A La Cart fries, this might be a nice choice. Juicy is not I would ever refer to the Hamburger; there is a smidgen of a sauce, not very flavorful, the Hamburger is lesser dry meat, request medium cooked, was more well done. The gristle texture was a put off, and when ordered I asked for the grilled onions with the Hamburger. Where were the onions? Scant! As in the photos, I order a burger for my Service Dog, and gave most all of my "Lone" burger to my dog as well. As stated, this is a Quaint place, the ambiance is very inviting; the food could use some major improvement. If one advertises a "juicy hamburger" they might consider "Angus Beef." Although many might enjoy gobbling down the food, as I viewed in the front booth, as a filler for an empty stomach. The Price, for a small dog pattie and a lone tastless chewy hamburger "where's the Cheesy sauce (?) did not make it juicy or tast better. All costing $24.00 is HIGH! There are disclaimers regarding the price, adding 20% and then requesting additional Tip if the waitstaff are exceptional... is asking too much. We love to tip our waitstaff for any service, yet when a eatery takes off the top and then requests more, is highly suspect. The Waitstaff work hard for their tips, the employees/waitstaff ought to be the first consideration not secondary, "If we, as the customer choose!"

    The juicy stuffed burger is the reason to go. It's huge, hot, oozy and delish. The fries are crispy and yummy also. Not too big on the chicken strips, my daughter said they were flat and stringy. Our server was sweet and helpful, very quick too. We like the low key feel when we dine in, it's not loud. The atmosphere is nice. The only downside is the 20% fee to sit and eat, yes this is a tip but it still leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

    Ahhh what a refreshing delicious burger! It was cooked to perfection! It wasn't as messy as I was originally expecting and it kept its shape. The burger itself and the cheese was incredible! I will have more in the future! The service was awesome! Michelle (the owner) is extremely personable and attentive to her customers. She engages and makes you feel extremely welcome! Thanks, Michelle! The ambiance is perfect! Diner style! Plenty of good decor, great art on the walls, bottles on the wall and a great bar service. Can't wait to go back!

    Been here twice now, so I feel like the review is accurate for me personally. First of all, the service is great and very personal and energetic. Ashley and Michelle were helping out behind the bar this last time, and both were really welcoming and efficient. They even gave me a coupon for a free drink when I closed out, which was nice. It is a small space that is cozy, and still captures the diner experience. Cool bar setup with ten low but comfortable seats. Three booths and a table complete the setup. One large corner TV, and the first time cool beach stuff was on, and the second time sports were on. The background music was energetic, yet not your boring mainstream stuff. Liked it. They give you pretzels to munch on when you sit down, so that is fun. I ordered the signature Juicy Lucy with no pickles and cooked onions, and it was solid. Mine came with pickles on it, but no biggie. I admit to being overly critical of burgers, so let's get that out of the way. The stuffed cheese was fun, but I always find with stuffed burgers that getting the burger at the right temp is tough so therefore it changes the taste a bit. I personally prefer a good medium rare burger for temp. Still solid. Packets of hot sauce, ketchup, and mustard were on the bar and at the tables. I got a side of fries with buffalo sauce to dip them in. The fries were good too. They also have truffle/caviar fries on the menu, which looked interesting, unique, and a call to come back and try at some point. And, of course, Tennyson Street in that couple of block stretch is a great place to explore and do fun things. Can't beat it. Finally, I have to mention that this place is on Inkind, which if you aren't on, you should be. It also means they stay in the loop as far as reach. Smart. This place is a great experience overall for both service and food. Definitely recommend, and see you there...

    This is a nice spot on Tennyson street to grab a burger. It is in a great location and has a good atmosphere. It was pretty full for a walk in for lunch on a Saturday. I ordered the juicy Lucy - it was advertised as the most popular burger and would be fun experience to try. However, I ended up not being completely impressed by it. I thought that the burger did not have a lot of flavor outside of the cheese in the center, and was also dry. It was almost like a plain old ground beef patty outside of the cheese. It was also a little more work to eat than I would have wanted to. I thought the fries were good, and the other burgers that I saw come out looked good. I would return, but would try a regular menu burger when I return.

We sat ourselves, and a waiter came over to greet and bring us menus. There were tons of different versions of French dip, and lots of their menu items seemed to have Asian influence. we ordered the Karaage, the Saigon, and crispy potatoes. Everything came out super hot and fresh. The Karaage was like thin chicken strips with a batter with subtle Asian flavors (ginger/garlic). The crispy potatoes were VERY crispy- to the point that they were a bit overdone. The Saigon had flavors of a banh mi but with beef. It was an odd combination and I felt like the potion of meat was lacking but the Sandwich still tasted great. The jalapeños added a pretty spicy kick so keep that in mind if you don't like that hotness. Overall, it was an enjoyable meal and the ambiance was very laid back and chill.
