I was looking for a breakfast spot to take my daughter and sit outside on a patio and Lucy's was exactly what we were looking for. I wish I joined the waitlist on Yelp before arriving since we had to wait for 20 minutes and they literally just have a tablet there to join on Yelp anyways. Our server was very friendly and made sure we were taken care of. The Chai Tea Latte was very good and perfect to enjoy outside. The kids classic breakfast was the exact same as the BYOB on the main menu. My daughter enjoyed hers and we brought the extras home for another meal. The prices are higher than an average diner but you're paying for higher quality and a nicer atmosphere. The parking was easy with 2 lots and free street parking. On the way out, we grabbed a donut from the glass case and my daughter loved it. We will definitely be back. read more

The food at Lucy's has consistently been very good but the coffee drinks unfortunately have not always delivered. The only reason I give 4 stars! read more

Lucy's is excellent, consistently. But it's not on my short list for a weekend breakfast or brunch only because it's so incredibly popular and I know there will be a wait. Joined the list online via Yelp and showed up at the restaurant to physically check in about 15 mins before the earlier time in the projected range of when my party would be sat. Waited for about an additional 10 mins and was promptly greeted and sat after the confirmation text that our table was ready. Our server was efficient and warm, and was able to take our complete order when coming to the table. The food came out quickly and was excellent, but real truth, the bacon roll is TOO GOOD. The stuff of dreams! I appreciate the way that Lucy's has streamlined their operation over the years. Parking can be a challenge, but I lucked out and with a small amount of patience, secured a spot in their adjacent lot. read more

Great food, generous portions and great service. The parking isn't great but plan ahead and you can find street parking.

Food was awesome. Best French toast in Grand Rapids. The omlettes looked good. Our server was very attentive and was efficient. The only issue, if it can even be considered an issue, is that it's a breakfast place that doesn't open until 8. Seems like it should be earlier. read more

Food is always amazing! Servers are always friendly regardless of how busy they are! Highly recommend Lucy's to anyone looking for a good brunch in GR read more

Best biscuits and gravy in the world and fantastic quiche. Coffee was very good too. Best breakfast ever.

Lucy's was just published to be on the list of top 12 breakfast spots in the entire US! Stop in and see why. The food is delectable and also reasonably priced. I got the egg sandwich and while very buttery, I enjoyed every bite. My friend got the vegan scramble as she swears it's "just the best!" Service on the is as good as it can get when the place is slammed. With that said, expect a wait if you come on a weekend. Weekdays the restaurant is more empty so if you want a quick in and out go during the week. If you can get a table outside, I'd recommend that as the restaurant gets echoey and noisy during the rush. Also the cronuts are only made on the weekends so if you don't wanna wait for a dine in meal, stop at the bakery counter and pick one up!!!!!! read more

I heard that Lucy's had gotten on some list of best breakfast spots in the country and I was pretty skeptical. But man, they really know what they are doing. My chicken salad with cherries was outrageously delicious. Like, it had no business being that good. The peach cobbler bread pudding tasted like the best peach pie I have ever had. This has easily risen to top breakfast/brunch spot in GR on my list. Parking might be a bit of a hassle when it's a busy time, although lots of available seating inside and a gorgeous shaded patio. I'll be back v soon. read more

Ordered a BYOB and when I started eating it I found a black curly hair under my eggs. Dis!

One of the best breakfast/brunch spots in GR! Great food, atmosphere, and lovely people.

We are never disappointed when we eat at Lucy's. Their "wait list" system is well worth using, as they are always busy. A sign of excellent service and food. I would highly recommend Lucy's! read more

I thoroughly enjoyed my brunch here! The food was a little pricey, but what isn't today? I had a hash and had great flavor and was plentiful. The drink was a bit strong, but admittedly I'm not a huge drinker. We sat outside so I don't have much to say about inside. I would go back in a heartbeat though! read more

First time! Waited awhile but they do have a line you can pre-arrival. Food very good! Would recommend!

And just like that, Essence Restaurant Group (owner of Grove, Green Well, and Bistro Bella Vita) knocks it out of the park once again. They've got the best Italian in town. The best fine dining in town. The best lunch spot in town. And now, they're quickly cornering the best breakfast spot in town. Right off the bat, I'll say the ONLY aspect of Lucy's holding it back as a breakfast restaurant is the ambiance. I feel like I'm eating in a well decorated garage - concrete floors, cold industrial ceilings, and so much crowd echo that I could NEVER come here hungover (which, in my opinion, makes up approximately 65% of patrons for all breakfast joints). Breakfast has been, for me and many others, a comfort experience, which I think Lucy's might be lacking just a touch. Aside from that however, the food is delicious. . Breakfast is such an easy meal to prepare that I think a lot of restaurants kind of take eggs, potatoes and toast for granted. Not Lucy's. It's well crafted and seasoned head to toe. A tad pricy in my humble opinion, but you're getting a damn good (and damn well portioned) breakfast at one of the hottest joints in town. Everything is house made, which is to be expected from an Essence restaurant. And I mean Everything. The bread. The jam. The addicting bechamel sauce that goes well with every dish (order a side of it if it doesn't come on your plate and thank me later). Give Lucy's a shot if you're looking for the next level of breakfast food, and they're sure to deliver. Pro tip - get on the waitlist, as the place QUICKLY fills up after 10:00 on the weekends. read more

The server was fantastic! She knew the menu well to make recommendations. Food was great! We got there before the rush so we didn't have a wait time, though it's definitely worth the wait! Great atmosphere and I always have an excellent time at Lucy's! read more

Lucy's has officially been added to my regular list of rotating brunch/lunch spots. One of my new menu go-tos is the breakfast sandwich. Do not underestimate this option- it features their Cheddar Dill biscuit which is generously adorned with everything-bagel-seasoning and it's incredible. Their vegan sausage is so flavorful, and it has chili crunch aioli. *drool* My dining partners yesterday raved about their real meat sausage, saying it's some of the best they've had. Expect a pricier meal, though- my breakfast sandwich upgraded to vegan sausage (which comes with potatoes fyi) was $19, but it was super filling and I brought half of my sandwich home. read more

Have had breakfast at Lucy's several times. The menu is fresh and progressive and wait staff is friendly and helpful. First heard about Lucy's from a neighbor. Tried the restaurant shortly after and found it to live up to the recommendation provided. Open atmosphere of seating and tables is comfortable. Be sure to take home pastries from the on-site bakery counter. read more

We love Lucy's - great food, great atmosphere. Recommend using the waitlist! We have always loved the food and coffee.

Reliable service and yummy food! The unique dishes never disappoint! Friendly staff too!

Went to Lucy's on a Saturday morning for the first time. I had heard it's a very good spot from a few friends and decided to give it a try as it's so close to me. Really liked the look of the place, very inviting, the wait was long but I anticipated it and joined the waitlist early, cutting our wait drastically which was great. As we are being seated my one and only problem with my experience begins. The woman's restroom is about 20 feet from where we are sitting and the door SLAMS. As this place is busy you can imagine this door is opened and closed about once a minute. In the middle of a joke? *SLAM*Having a delicate conversation? *SLAM* I would have loved to have focused more on the aesthetic of the restaurant or the swiftness of the service but I just could NOT ignore that door. My girlfriend told me inside the bathroom was even worse to the point where she would cover her ears. I enjoyed the andouille sausage and grits. My girlfriend had the Biscuits and Gravy, the biscuit was awesome. Food was great, service was great, ambience? Disregarded if that's considered acceptable. I would absolutely come here again, but you *SLAM* wouldn't catch me on that side of the restaurant again, incredibly distracting. read more

A repeat go to that never fails to be a delicious meal! Parking can be tricky but well worth it.

I love Lucy's. Definitely one of the best breakfast/brunch spots in Grand Rapids in my opinion. You can go on their wait list online which is nice because they can get pretty busy on weekends. They are great with allergies and super knowledgeable about the ingredients in the food they serve! They also have vegan/vegetarian options! They have a lot of seating and the aesthetic is very modern. Overall a super cool place. Their parking lot is pretty small but you can park on the side streets and walk a short distance as well. This particular visit I went for the creston skillet and it was amazing. I would order this a million times over. All cooked perfectly and everything in the skillet tasted great together. Served with a fresh side of toast. I also took a cinnamon roll to go. They have some of the best baked goods here. I would definitely recommend!! They also have a good handful of coffee drinks. I had a latte with caramel and almond milk. It was a huge glass and lasted me the whole meal. I have had a handful of their other items before and everything is always great. read more

Honestly the best breakfast sandwich in Grand Rapids! It has a cheddar dill biscuit with sausage, egg, cheese and aioli which is a great combination. The pancake is fluffy and tasted great. The latte is also amazing! They also have pastries but I haven't tried any yet. Go here for breakfast!! read more

Just a quick stop for a small bite to eat before starting my drive. All staff was friendly and quick with service. The ham & cheese croissant was beautiful! Gorgeous layers, flaky & soft texture, delicious buttery flavor and the perfect amount of ham/cheese. I ordered a scrambled egg that I stuffed in the air pockets and made a lil' croissant breakfast sandwich. :) Grabbed a fall donut on my way out for my daughter... all was good! Would like to come back to try more from the menu. Only negative is the lack of parking. I ended up parking around the block, but at least it was a nice day for a walk. Seemed spacious inside with lots of seating despite the small parking area. read more

This place is worth the hype! Finally came to try this plane and it was so good. It's very spacious with a lot of room for seating. We arrived around 9am on a Sunday and didn't have to join the waitlist. The service was friendly and fast. My brother and I ordered two coffee drinks: 1) iced Vietnamese coffee and 2) hot cafe miel. We also ordered a donut from the bakery and it was soft, fluffy and delicious. We ordered the biscuit and gravy and the egg benedict. We really enjoyed both flavor profiles! The egg Benedict was our favorite but both were so good. We plan on going back again! read more

Always fantastic! We have been here with carnivores, vegan, gluten free, vegetarian and there are more than plenty of incredible options for everyone. Excellent service, food and atmosphere. Lucy's is our out of town guest place for brunch. The bar has interesting options as well! read more

Lucy's had such a cute atmosphere! I had never heard of it before today, but my friend had her mom in town and suggested we try it- definitely don't regret! I am vegan so I had the vegan scramble and it was delicious- the best one I've had from a brunch place before!! The seasoning was perfect and the potatoes were my favorite part; would definitely recommend! read more

Reservations recommended, this place is popular. I had the Spicy Hash with a side of corned beef hash. Both were very good. It's a lot of food so you might want to split the Spicy Hash with someone. The place is big and noisy. The service was good but our meals did take a while to arrive. The food makes it worth the lines. read more

Amazing food the service was amazing I got the eggs benedict with American bacon and the house scramble they both were amazing

This was my 2nd stop at Lucy's about 1.5 years after my first stop on the way from Indianapolis to Traverse City. This place is easy to access from the interstate and very much worth the effort! The atmosphere is charming, clean, mixed modern/industrial/mid-century. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food is exceptionally executed. Nothing fancy this trip but everything was cooked perfect and the quiche ... oh man! Super flavorful and the light flakey crust just melts in your mouth. Will be back every trip up North! read more
