Nice little cafe not too far from the coast. We stopped here after visiting the monarch butterfly sanctuary and wanted something warm to drink before heading out and seeing the sunset on the beach. We got a hot chocolate. The inside of the cafe was nicely decorated with bright colors. They had skateboards mounted on the walls as decoration and other unique saying and art all around. The staff was friendly and the place was kept clean. I will definitely go back and try out other items or keep them as my go to place for a warm drink to enjoy near the cold Monterey coast. One suggestion I would give, is to make the hot chocolate a bit hotter. I felt like mine was just warm. Maybe it was just a one off thing. read more

They specialize in hotdogs so you'd think they'd have the BEST, but sadly they don't. If you want comfort junkfood, this is the spot. I had a Dunes hotdog and the bun was a doughy gooey mess on the bottom after a few bites. The chili on top was super greasy. Their ice cream is good and I'd go back for that on a warmish day but warm days in PG are rare. It'd be cool if they had some healthy items on menu. read more

Took my whole family to Lucy's. We all dread put on picnic tables under thrMy grown kids and their picky kids all found something yummy - so many choices! read more

Lucy's is the bomb! Even as veggie heads we found plenty on the menu to keep us happy. The place has a great vibe, lots of great menu items, and a respectable beer & wine list. There was a nice variety of folks there when we arrived, and then a whole flag football team arrived with parents and assorted siblings. The venue and staff absorbed them without skipping beat, and everyone had a great time. We liked it so much we couldn't leave without picking up some custom Lucy's swag. read more

Went there multiple times in 3 days! It is a great spot, especially if you're traveling with kids and a dog. It has great food (Nathan's hot dog, and tots!) , beer and wine, and an amazing chai tea latte. The ambience is chill with a great space to hang outside. (Side note: on a Thursday night, there was a bunko game night. If you are a bunko junkie, call them up early to see if it is on that night). read more

Fun vibe, friendly and helpful staff, fabulous Brussel sprouts! Yummy hot dogs and old fashioned banana splits.

I love this place. Customer service is on the top of my list of important things to find at a restaurant. You get service with a smile, you get great food, and you get camaraderie of patrons everything I want plus great coffee and when you're in the mood for a milkshake, they have that too. read more

The food was amazing! We had a variety of their hotdogs, tots and Mac and cheese. We sat outside and truly enjoyed the patio. My granddaughter could run around before our food arrived. We met some people at another table. Good fun!!! read more

A local spot in a small town with a lot of potential. You can tell this will end up being the go-to spot for teens when the SIP is lifted. Until then, they have made the best of it by providing an outdoor eating area in the parking lot. There about 7 picnic benches along with a couple small tables. We went here because there are very few places in the area with outdoor dining and this was the best choice since we had 3 kids under the age of 10. My relatives happened to know the family that owns it and they happened to be working. They were very warm and welcoming. Their menu consists of various types of hot dog combinations along with tator tot sides and ice cream desserts. We began by just ordering the hot dogs since we didn't want our desserts to melt. There were so many choices that I had no idea what I wanted, so I ended up getting a simple hot dog with mustard and relish. Others ordered hot dogs with chili, cheese, tots and peppers. We also ordered a side of tots with their cheese sauce. I have to say the tots were my favorite part. They were nice and crispy but not overcooked. The cheese sauce was a nice addition but I could have done without it. They are not skimpy on their toppings which is good, but it makes the hot dogs difficult to eat because you cannot pick it up without the bread falling apart. Most of us ended up using a fork and knife. Onto dessert. They have about 12 different flavors of ice cream that they serve several ways including as a banana split, in a root beer float and even as an affogato. I also noticed they had special alcoholic drinks like a Hard Root Beer Float and a Mermaid Mimosa which was a scoop of sorbet placed in a glass of wine. They also had other alcoholic beverages like beer and wine. I mean, what goes better with hot dogs than beer! The only suggestion I would have is to serve the hot dogs a little more warmer than they were. I will admit that everything came out fast but the hot dogs were warm versus hot. read more

Fabulous food! Great coffee! It's mostly a hot dog joint. But a hipster one. This place opened in July (was being constructed when I was here last in February) smack dab in the middle of the pandemic. Bold! I guess you take such a step when you're confident of what you have to offer. Tried the mac n cheese and the Brussels sprouts. Both the sides knocked it out of the park! The Mac n cheese was honest and sincere in its cheese offerings. And it had fried onions to take it to the next level. Serious yum! The Brussels sprouts were arguably the best I've had anywhere. They were crisp and bathed in a honey balsamic reduction with the right amount of tang and sweetness. Legit recommend both items. The vibe at the place is surfer-casual. Plenty of outdoor seating for you to chill out and enjoy your morning coffee. If you're staying at the Sea Breeze Inn and Cottages, give this place a go for sure. read more

Fun spot with delicious food and great music! We love to stop by when we are visiting Pacific Grove!

Lucy's never disappoints! Whenever we're in town we come, whether it's for lunch, dinner, ice cream and coffee or breakfast. Definitely try their Brussels sprouts. All the hot dogs we've tried have been great. Today we tried the breakfast burritos and espresso drinks and they were delicious. The service is always friendly, the vibe is fun and chill and the food is always delicious with generous portions and the prices are great. It's family friendly with a great patio! read more

The setting and vibe is very relaxing and chill. Lots of seating outside with picnic tables. The corn dogs were crispy and flavorful. Not at all oily. I got the Asilomar. The amount of toppings (chili, onions, jalapeño) were generous but my food was lukewarm at best. Would have liked it to be warmer. We also ordered the tots with the Lucy's sauce. There was only a small amount of sauce. When you got past the top layer, you were basically eating plain tater tots. My mom ordered a hard root beer float which she enjoyed. Overall, a decent experience and I would definitely give it another try. read more

Great hots dogs and dog friendly! Relaxing patio. Lots of nice little hotels close by.

So BOMB! This is just what the area needs! Good ol street food! Dick Verde are fire! That's your Veg! The tater tots are great not too heavy! I got the otter with puff pastry and hot Cheetos! Dip it in nacho cheese sauce and it's amazing! The only thing I would add would be jalapeño! Then got the Freight for my other half who loves Chicago dogs! And this one here was spot on! Peppers pickles onions mustard! Amazing. The ice cream is off the hook their flavor is so good! And the chocolate cinnamon taste just like Mexican got chocolate! This by far is my new fave spot! Great job! read more

The gate is skateboards. It was so cool. I'm not a skater, but I like the vibe. It was young and fun and different. So fitting for Montereys active lifestyle. The menu was different and menu but good options. It's not normal restaurant style. I ordered tots plan with cheese sauce. Apparently, you can add whatever toppings you want to the tots, but I wasn't registering that. Haha. the Mac n cheese looked soooo good. I wish I had asked more questions and took my time cause the last was nice to answer everything and give extra information. I also ordered a 1020 milkshake. Which is Carmel sauce, chocolate, and oreo. It was delicious but could have been a teeny bit thicker. Great place, and I will visit again. read more

The quality of the dog 5 stars! The Chili 5 stars! The ratio of condiments to dog 5 Stars! The ratio of dog to bun 4 stars. Little less bread would be perfect. They were busy today with tourists so we'll give another shot. The dog was lukewarm at best in the inside. We like our food hot. Ordered tots with chili and cheese and got the Wallride which came with chili, cheese, Lucy's sauce and grilled onion. Chili was great but did not enjoy the grilled onions and sauce. The guy running the front was very friendly, the young girl at the register was all business. I hope this place does well and gets year round local support. Great concept and very cool decor with perfect outdoor dining. read more

I really liked my lovers point hot dog (bacon, guac, jalapeno, sauce) and tater tots. I was starving after a small early lunch and needed sustenance. Like a beam of a lighthouse cutting through the fog to show you the way, Lucy's cured me. Ok. That was silly. But this place is good. read more

This place has easily become my husbands and I favorite spot! The hot dogs are so good! We plan on trying them all. Love all the options they have!

Too expensive won't be back. And cold too, Ice cream was good but $$$ too. Costco has the best deal

Great local place to hang out, food is awesome and unique. Always a good time here. Keeps us coming back for more.

This place is amazing! The vibe is so fun with all of the skateboard and surfing memorabilia up around the restaurant. The staff is also very friendly. There is a great selection of hotdogs and ice cream. I stayed pretty traditional with my hot dog, but it definitely hit the spot. The chili cheese on top of the Nathan's hotdog was yummy. I also got one of milkshakes to split with my husband, and we definitely did not regret indulging in the Chiquita! The banana and peanut butter was sweet, and oh so good. read more

It's one thing to wait forever for your food to come but for it to be cold too when it finally arrives is inexcusable especially for hot dogs. The actual dog was like straight from the fridge to our buns. $32 for hot dogs worse than 7-eleven. Don't know how they got their rating. read more

Lucy's never disappoints! Love that there is coffee on the weekend mornings and they carry the best ice cream on the planet: Marianne's. The owner and people who work there are simply the best. Thank you Lucy's!! read more

Omg... get the Dick Verde. Those Brussels sprouts are super stinky but super delicious! We've been here twice in the past couple of weeks. The hot dogs are creative and scrumptious. We've tried several different ones, and we've never been disappointed. We've only ordered for takeout, but both times, staff were friendly, helpful, and the food came out quickly. The tots are wonderfully crispy, too. Only thing I wouldn't recommend are the shakes only because they are over blended - thin and runny with little or no ice cream left. I might try ordering one and specifying "thick" to see if it's any better. Anyway, I highly recommend this wonderful establishment! read more

Nothing but fun here! Hotdogs, ice cream and great coffee and espressos!! Wonderful managers and staff! Nothing but good things to say since they have brought the tail end of Lighthouse Ave in Pacific Grove to life! Live music on the weekends and fun hot dog eating contests! Wonderful place to hang out for visitors to the area as there are many hotels in the vicinity! Love love love! Highly recommend! read more

I was taken aback by the price of a hotdog, but the place was always busy and there was a band playing so what the heck. Counter order then brought to table, lots of conversations, laughing people having good times. Surprised by how good the dog and tots are, noticed the price of some dogs at a well known drive thru and decided Lucy's prices weren't that outrageous! good job read more

This place was really good! If you like a quality hot dog, a beer, and a great surf/skate vibe this totally hits the spot. The hot dogs were thick and high quality, and the buns were a great size in relation to the dog itself. Very creative dishes with great flavor. I also want to give credit to the Mac and cheese that was a true Mac macaroni and cheese; Rich and full flavor. Someone did their homework. Thanks for a delicious meal! read more

If your craving hot dogs and tots this is the place for you. From a simple mustard and/or ketchup dog to several with numerous combinations of toppings. They will have something for you. The bonus is the staff, location and vibe. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The young lady at the counter knew the menu and gladly helped with suggestions once asked. Located in beautiful Pacific Grove with dining inside and out. A nice and relaxing vibe making eating there very enjoyable. read more

This is one fun place! Picnic tables ,beer ,wine sodas - all pluses Sunday afternoons there's live music. Family friendly. What I find lacking is a good deli mustard and absorbent napkins. I often judge a restaurant by the quality of their napkins. A hearty napkin, I believe, becomes more efficient than using several one ply napkins.I. There is simply no need to have flimsy napkins. Why not offer customers to "build their own" hot dog with more choices? read more

Stayed at the hotel next door for the weekend. We were so lucky to have found this amazing place! Great stop for hot chocolate, a cold beer, dinner and some of the best ice cream we have ever had. As a 90's teen I adored the decor, the vibe and the music. My kids got to meet people and pet their dogs. On our second visit the owner came and talked to us about our vacation. I wish we had our own 'Lucy's' in our town! Bravo! The menu is innovative without being over done. Fresh, flavorful and FUN! On our way home, we said we would come back to Pacific Grove just to have the experience of earing here again! read more
