We were so thrilled to move to this neighborhood and still have an easy fast food option, but we simply cannot afford to eat here. We can go to a sit down restaurant for these prices. I have knowledge and appreciation of the difficulties of keeping a restaurant open, but these prices have left me with sticker shock weeks after ordering from here The good: -Food is yummy and made fresh, you get a ton of fries with each order -Nice outdoor seating! -Staff was kind and patient with an insanely rude customer while I was waiting for my order The bad: -the prices :(

First of all, the moment you walk in, you're welcomed right away. The customer service is…read moreimpeccable--they make you feel important from the second you arrive, and you're taken care of immediately. The atmosphere is fantastic, with great music, great beer, and the opportunity to sample any beer before ordering your adult beverage. Last, but definitely not least, is what they're famous for: the spicy chicken sandwich. It is absolutely amazing, and you have to order it with the fries. The fries are so good that they're worth the trip on their own! It's a small place, so I'd recommend getting there early to beat the crowd. One word of caution: go easy on the hot sauce. It's seriously spicy!

Lucy's was doing a BOGO on fries, mac & cheese, and shakes on Uber Eats, so we decided to try it,…read moregood decision overall. The classic Prohibition burger was a solid 9/10. I loved that the pickles and onions were diced so you could taste them in every bite. The cheese was *very* melted though, basically liquid, which was a little strange. I personally prefer when it's a bit thicker and there's a little more of it. My niece got the buffalo fried chicken sandwich and they did not skimp, it was basically a whole chicken thigh. She wasn't a big fan of the blue cheese, but otherwise liked it. For the sides, I'm from the South so the mac & cheese was a little underwhelming for me, but the fries were good and the strawberry shake was a solid dessert. We ordered delivery so I can't speak to the vibes, but I'd definitely try it in person sometime.

The service is fast, our water and food came out fairly quick! However, the quality of the food itself lacks a lot of flavor.

Been wanting to try this place for years and finally got the chance to! It's a cute little hole in…read morethe wall with plenty of options to pick from. From the obvious, Mac and cheese, to burgers and chicken tenders. They even have plenty of dessert options. The wait staff were so accommodating and kind. I came here with a friend group and we were the only guests dining inside. They had music blasting and we asked if they could lower the volume a bit and did so immediately. I got the All American patty melt with a side of fries. The fries were top tier. I enjoy my fries on the crispier side and there was definitely a good amount that were crispy. I also like the type of fries that look directly cut from a russet potato. The patty melt was to be expected. A typical diner type. It did lack flavor/seasoning, so I appreciated the onions which gave it some help flavor wise. The patty was also dry, so that was unfortunate. The pulled pork Mac and cheese was good. It was a healthy portion of the toppings, but the Mac and cheese itself fell short on the flavor as well. I can see and taste real cheese, but something was missing. I also prefer more aldente noodles and these were on the almost overcooked side for me. The garlic bread is your standard can't go wrong garlic bread. I gave 4/5 because I expected more flavor for the Mac and Cheese. They specialize in it after all! Overall, I think dishes would benefit from some extra seasoning, but for the price it's pretty unbeatable. The quality is there just needs that extra flavor to really enhance the whole experience.

Burrito was cooked fast and a lot of steak on the inside. Very tasty and came with a good sauce. Monte cristo was alright a little soggy but the taste was the there.

This is what's left of the all-night diner in 2026…read more Small is not the right word."Economic" comes to mind. About 5 feet wide with about 10 stools. You could almost lean over the counter and touch the grill. 3 hispanic guys working god knows how long hours here. Again, economic menu, but has breakfast options + sandwiches, so more than enough. Dirt-cheap pricing for a place in a happening part of the city. And it's good too. They cook your food in about 5 seconds. It's all worth it and has some quality, but any vestige of a Nighthawks type late night diner vibe is more gone than the 10 cent hamburger.

I'm actually SO surprised I haven't written a review for Budlong yet?! This has been a long time…read morecoming.... What's not new: the chicken, is in my opinion the best in the city. The sheer SIZE of these things, and they are fried to perfection. One sandwich is enough to fill you which I appreciate. The pickles that they use too are thick cut and balance with the chicken well. The more pickles the better!! What is new: these fried chicken wraps. OMG. I don't want to compare them to a mcdonalds snackwrap because that would be offensive to Budlong.... because the ones BL makes are just out of this world. As expected, the chicken size is great, it actually fills the wrap. I ended up ordering both the hot honey and the bbq. Both were awesome I just wish I got something with a little more spice. But I still will be ordering these again! I also tried the fried pickles for the first time which were great! I just wish they used dill pickles instead of bread+butter (I assumed they used this?) because they were a bit too sweet for me. But if you like bread and butter pickles you will love these. Next time I go I neeeeeed to try their plant based nuggets. I'm not vegan, but I LOVE vegan foods, and think more restaurants need to follow suit! Also on my list is the Peach Hand Pie and the Banana Pudding... I think that speaks for itself If you haven't been into Budlong - WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!! Get yourself some chicken and thank me later :)

One of those cases where "social media sent me." I saw the luscious cheese and the smoke... and the…read moredesire to visit followed me like a shadow. I finally had the chance, and well: If we remove the cheese injection and smoke, we are left with a solid fast-casual burger. It's somewhere above fast food, but below a full-service, sit-down restaurant that even somewhat specializes. What helps the burger stand out, however, is the option for cheese injection and smoke. As a cheese lover, I'm somewhat divided on the cheese. On one hand, if I'm saying no to cheese sauce, something is wrong with me, and you should call the doctor. Then again, an average burger with cheese sauce is just that. The smoke is a slightly different story. It imparts flavor to the burger and seems to be concentrated in the bun more than anything. This adds an interesting, new flavor dimension, but I fear it's not enough to elevate a middle-tier product sufficiently to propel it into greatness. Some rapid-fire notes: Fries: I have no negative notes. These seemed fresh and were both cooked and seasoned well. Prices: They seem to fall in that fast-casual price bracket, but with additions and combos, it starts to add up. Service: I feel for a freshly-made product, the service was appropriately fast. While it was also friendly, some acknowledgment when I came to the counter, rather than waiting for my existence to be verified, would have been appreciated. Finally, there's one thing I noticed that I want to point out. I saw an employee grab a bottle of Mrs. Meyers Cleaning Spray, add water to it, and use it to wipe down a table. I don't know what the procedures for sanitizing a table should be, nor can I tell you what actually was or wasn't in the spray bottle. However, it does present the possibility that tables are being wiped down with mostly water. I'm glad I went, for the craving was satisfied. However, mediocre pancakes with great syrup are still mediocre pancakes. With this, while I'm not necessarily against returning at some point, I feel as though my craving and curiosity have been satisfied, and I will not return.

It was not crowded but people were coming in and out with take out and were eating inside. I got the Italian sandwich with banana peppers. It was very good, spicy salami, salty ham, fresh vegetables. The bread was very good too! My partner got the omertà, he said it was good, very fresh but having more than 1 half of it was too much. So it appears it was filling. This place is a total vibe, we didn't eat inside but it was cute.
