Lucy's American Tavern

We are on our way to Logan airport. We stopped in to grab a bite to eat. I ordered a steak fajita bowl, and a club sandwich for my wife. It was delicious, with lots of flavor. Maggie was our server and did a great job, and was extremely personable. The food came out fast and hot. I hope to eat here again, pre-vacation stop in.

My girlfriend and I split a burger and truffle fries. We got plenty full on the burger alone! It was delicious. The name in the bun was a neat touch. I personally did not like the truffle fries, but my girlfriend loved them. When we got there, it was not busy. It was not busy the entire time we were there. Service was surprisingly slow regardless of this fact. However, our waiter was kind. We would likely give this place another try, if back in the area.

Lily and emily were amazing and attentive. Delicious food and drinks, fun atmosphere with great music. They took photos for us and gave us all the time we needed!

i went on a weekend for the brunch & it was GIVING what it was supposed to give !! i mean EXCELLENT FOOD !! i got the Farmers market, cinnabon pancakes, & french toast sticks.!! it was Delicious 🫠🤤. i didn’t like the fact that the “regular drinks” wasn’t much to choose because i’m not a drinker of alcohol , other than that the atmosphere was great. food came out in a reasonable time. I haven’t tried the regular menu but i’m sure it’s good .. but i HIGHLY RECOMMEND! i will be returning for the BRUNCH !!

Great service and amazing drinks. The food is always good too. If you are vegetarian, the menu can be flexible. I just ask to take the meat out. I love getting brunch here!

Delicious food with a great atmosphere! Already set up for Christmas, the whole restaurant was a great vibe and very welcoming. Our server, Matt, was awesome and patient. I recommend the boozy Twix iced coffee. So yummy! Would definitely go back again!

It was my 1st time here and Tayler was an excellent server. She gave great recommendations, was polite and knowledgeable!

I wanted to be blown away but wasn’t, I saw this place featured on the Phantom. I came here during the week, after a show, so it was after 9pm. I had ribs, brisket and pulled pork and it was average, my daughter had a burger w fries and she loved it. The dessert was very good, we had a s’mores dessert. I’d return here, but earlier, to try it out again. It was a good vibe and good ambiance.

My meal at Lucy's American Tavern was so good today! The restaurant had plenty of open seats and I was able to grab one by the window. A great start to summer.

I've always wanted to try Lucy's. It looks nice and seems like the "go-to" spot. My wife, our 4-year-old, and I went. We ordered the grilled cheese sandwich with brisket, which wasn't bad. My wife had the eggs Benedict, and that was good! Our little guy had a cheeseburger, which was also good. Overall, the food was decent. However, we did return the sodas twice because they were flatter than the plains of Siberia. We brought it up, and we were told they would check the gas and that this was the brand of soda they use. We settled for water. He also mentioned that he didn't drink soda so he wouldn't know. Tyler was our server. On a scale of 1 to 10, I would give him a 4 or 5. He did try to help with the drinks, but we couldn't really understand him when he spoke to us. It's pretty loud in there, and he literally had no voice, so that was that (not sure if he's sick or partied too much last night). When we asked a question, he came across as frustrated. We're not sure, but the customer service just wasn't there. We didn't hear from him again until it was time to pay. Overall, we were quite disappointed with this spot. It will be our first and last visit.

Sadly I've tried to consistently come back 3 more times and it's been so disappointing. It's a super popular spot to the locals and it's always packed. Thankfully wait times have never been too terrible like 30-40 min waits. Everything we got was so bland. The in yo face breakfast sandwich itself wasn't too bad because I enjoyed the natural flavor of things and the buns were super soft but again no additional flavor even though it was supposed to have aioli. For my boyfriend's bowl, it was literally 90% potato with some bits of bacon and Brussel. They also didn't even ask how the egg would be cooked. It was over hard. As for the burrito, just egg mainly and no flavor.

We were told it would be an hour wait for our party of six without a reservation, but seating at the bar opened within a few minutes. We had to provide a credit card to start a tab, which was unusual to me, but others expected this. Service was okay on this busy night. The menu had so many great choices it was tough to decide. The food was really good, and portions were large. A little loud for carrying on a conversation, but a great place to gather with friends.

The food was amazingly delicious!! We started off with the breakfast egg rolls & Mexican street corn avocado toast . That avocado toast was BOMB! I had the brunch bowl & my cousin had the chicken Cobb salad for entrees. Definitely a must try if you're in the area.

I wanna get the bad out of the way first: parking is a literal nightmare, and the service for weekend brunch is a little disconnected. But really, those are my only beefs. Our big ass starter of guac-meets-elote works remarkably well, especially on warm, thick, freshly fried tortilla chips. And I was a total fan of my fried chicken sando with hot honey and an okay slaw. I rubbernecked more than few boozy coffee drinks and the chicken and waffles that walked by, giving me a bit of FONOR (fear of not ordering right) but all the more reason to return. In an Uber. Because the parking is pure hell.

It was catch-up time with a friend so we decided on Lucy's for some eats. The place is very spacious and noisy with people talking and the music blasting in the background. We came during lunchtime and there was a good amount of tables open, but we were told to wait 5-10 minutes for a table. After being seated, our friendly waitress greeted us, brought us our drinks, and took our orders. My friend got the farmer's brunch bowl, I didn't taste it so I can't comment. However, the big chicken little was alright. The special sauce tasted similar to Big Mac sauce, so this is a chicken mac. I did like the Italian eggroll, which is an Italian sub-filling in eggroll form. To sum up, Lucy's a great place for groups, the food isn't outstanding, it's your typical approachable tavern food. Also, parking can be difficult, so get there early or be patient when looking for a space. We had to circle the street a few times before parking spaces opened up.

Good food. Spacious and clean establishment. Timing of food order to table is good. Waitress was in constant communication throughout the dining experience. Good environment for sport watchers. Plenty of tables (high tops and low). Best for groups of 4 or less. Weekends are extremely busy so seating 2 people can be anywhere from a 15-40 min wait. Unfortunately these next mentions hinder the total experience. Parking is terrible. The parking lot is shared with a bank and a nail salon. So what would look like a crowded bar is just a crowded lot for all 3 businesses which sit on a corner block. Additionally, the nail sail is open on Sundays, so they benefit from those who do find a parking spot but those wanting brunch before 3pm are at a disadvantage. If you do manage to get lucky and park, the interior of Lucy's is so loud, you won't be able to hear your friend who joined you. I've attended on a weekday and on a weekend and you have to yell in order for the person across from you to hear you. So imagine...with a large establishment, and everyone is yelling just to have a conversation on top of and because of the very loud music, this makes for an extremely loud venue. When the waitresses and bartender have to lean in close to hear your order, that's loud. If they turned the music down about 10 decibels, it would make for a much more enjoyable experience.

after coming here for a couple times I figured at finally make a review! We have been for drinks at the bar, brunch, and happy hour. Unfortunately, they don't have any happy hour deals or specials. My favorite drink to get here are the espresso martinis. We have also tried the sangria which is delicious. The brunch big mimosas. Also very good and get you buzzed. The brunch is pretty good not the best I have had but still awesome because I can walk to this place from my house!

We went for brunch on Mother's Day with family. Great food drinks and service! Everything was delicious!!

Lucy's has everything you want in a modern neighborhood bar. TVs are everywhere to watch the game, a nice drink menu, lots of space inside, and good food. For food, the pulled pork plate and nachos are the way to go. The pulled pork plate is massive and has all the classic sides that a southerner like me loves. The nachos are just loaded with some many goodies. Both dishes can feed two people alone so bring your appetite. The atmosphere is lively and energetic. You get the bar vibe without the claustrophobia. They can handle large parties and there is outdoor seating in the summer. There is parking in the back as well but it gets filled up quickly on weekends. You can often find parking across the intersection on Adam's St and walk over.

Younger crowd type of place but great the food was great and had fun watching a bruins game. It was super busy when we went but were able to grab seats at the bar.

Waitstaff was great Very busy place Food was ok Very clean and organized restaurant

Went to this excuse of an american tavern with a group of friends. We ordered drinks and those were gross, we then ordered food and my friend got the chicken and it was under cooked. When I got the waiter he grabbed the chef and the chef tried to argue with me about it being cooked and that it was the special, I said chicken shouldn't be bleeding argued with me and still complied to get her something else. Outside of the that the food isnt memorable and the service was shit Customer is always right and if the chicken was pink why fight and argue to say that what the chicken was supposed to look like.

Just there for drinks, but the service...flat out sucked! Wednesday night (not real busy) we sat at a booth but were told (after about ten minutes we collared a passing waiter) that we had to order our drinks at the bar. Fine, no problem (but you could'a told us). One of our party went to order them and after a solid fifteen minutes she still hadn't come back, so I went to ask her why our drinks were taking so long and she told me it was because she hadn't even ordered them yet. I went to the far end of the bar and asked this manager-type who was washing glasses what was up and he explained that they only had one bartender. I resisted the urge to suggest that he might consider helping out in a crunch but instead just pointed out my friend waiting down the bar. In fairness, they took our order in a minute or so but then it was another awkwardly long time before our drinks were served. All of this could have been overlooked if my order, a whiskey on the rocks, hadn't been the measliest drink in the history of drinks. We actually had a good laugh over at back at my table, trying to find any hint of whiskey color at the bottom of my giant glassful of ice. I brought it back to the bartender and asked.. basically, what the hell? He told me it was a full ounce and a half. Bear in mind, I tended bar for years and what was in my glass was a thimbleful. Even so, I took the high road and sat back down. A while later the same manager type came by our booth, apologized, and explained that they'd only had one bartender earlier but now there were two... as if that was supposed to mean something. Before I could mention my drink he was gone, no compensation, no explanation, no nothing.

Lobster roll was wonderful & the staff were attentive. My food & drinks came out pretty quickly, great ambiance if you enjoy sports & fuss free meals.

I always wanted to go here and finally my errands happened to be around this area. I decided I'd grab a quick lunch and I'm glad I did. It wasn't busy which was amazing. I ordered a Baja fish taco that had tasted as if they caught the fish from the ocean in their kitchen, cleaned it, seasoned it, and served it that same day. It was delicious, the coleslaw seemed fresh as well! I had a mocktail that was sweet and mixed to perfection. I ended my meal with a banana bread pudding topped with heath bar crumbs, Caramel, and vanilla ice cream my mind is racing just thinking about it. It's a sweet tooth persons dream. I will definitely be coming back and trying out their other mouth watering options. Food: 9 Customer service: 8

I must admit, I'm surprised with the lower ratings of Lucy's! Lucy's had been on my list for a while especially after I had seen so many brunch posts. I didn't expect much as it seemed like a more sports bar aesthetic, but pleasantly surprised with how delicious the food was. Our waiter was super attentive and patient as well. Definitely enjoyed the creative spins on the boozy cold brews too! As a bonus, they have a small parking lot & accept reservations ahead of time!

Confession: I've been avoiding this place as previous experiences have been less than stellar. However, my most recent visit changed my mind! My husband and I came here because the friends we were with wanted to come here. We just wanted a little bit of food to pick on while we had some drinks and watched a sports game. We all shared the nachos and mac & cheese, and let me tell you, it was one of the best nachos and mac & cheese I've ever had! We added pulled pork to both, which I think made the dish - so tender and flavorful, I couldn't get enough. The nachos were perfect - served on a sheet pan (as they should be!) so the toppings were spread over every bite. I loved the pickled onions and lime crema; such unique flavors that bring everything together. I am already looking forward to coming back!

Fantastic brunch at this upscale sports bar. Visit here for some good brunch and to see your favorite teams. Parking is at the minimum. Street parking is free if you can find it.

Food was excellent, staff very accommodating, reasonable pricing. If any negative, the service was a bit slow, but the place was crowded. First time there, good take.

May second time here and will not be back. First off the music is so loud it's obnoxious. People at the bar have to talk so loud to be heard you can hear everyone's conversations. Headache inducing! service was not great but sufficient I guess. But the food is horrendous. We each got a $13.00 Caesar salad. It was ice cold so I know it was pre-made and in the fridge. Lettuce was not fresh, no shaved Parmesan, and no anchovies. Bland at best. But the short rib for $30 was a greasy hot mess. Short rib was boneless so was actually a shank cut. But also tasted reheated, we could not eat it.

Dined on the brunch menu. We sat at 10:15am without reservation but the place started to get crowded around 10:45am. Egg & avo sandy with potatoes were delicious. My only complaint is that they don't offer substitutions. I asked for almond, oat or soy milk for my coffee, they only carry cow's milk and half and half. Felt like that was a bit off given the size of the establishment and the fact that milk options are pretty standard in 2022! Ended up just having the coffee black. It was good on its own. Also asked for turkey bacon instead of the bacon that comes on the sandwich since I don't eat pork. No substitute there either, though that wasn't as odd. Would come back for sure, just maybe on a lunch or dinner menu.

This establishment is within walking distance of my house and is usually pretty crowded, especially on the weekends. I stopped by the first time it opened and wasn't all that impressed, but saw that the menu was updated and decided to give it another try. I'm glad I did because my meals have been consistenly great here (with the exception of some over fried fish on my last visit). There is usually quite a din here, especially when there is a crowd, but it's to be expected given the layout. This of course shouldn't deter you from the great food and courteous wait staff. They have great drinks, too, especially if you have a yen for a yummy mock tail. Come on over to our neighborhood and give them a try!

Walked in here once and they host acted as if she didn't wanna seat me and my sister but she managed to sit us in the worst seat possible. Especially because I advised we were there for the game We ordered a round of drinks and waters while we decided on what to eat. When our drinks came there were 2 bugs in my drink so I returned them both and left I doubt the bugs were intention but the lack of acknowledgment surely was

Visit: first(first meal of our boston trip) Food: Hangover skillet- nice kick, VERY filling, they didnt have jelly but the gravy was delish for dipping, the eggs were perfectly over easy Tuna ceviche w cripy plantains- so good my husband didnt want to share and he is picky! French dips- must try! So delish BUT not overly sweet Drinks: mimosa and sangria! The berry sangria is better than the rosè IF you like more traditional sangria taste, if youre into pink lemonade than the rosè is for you! Im into drinking so they were both perfect for me Atmosphere- spacious, we sat toward the street and the weather was perfect, very family oriented def not to get crunk which suckss because the music was bomb Staff: we had Paige and she was genuinely a pleasure and even gave us some tips, Lauren the hostess was also sweet A great kick to our weekend Boston trip!

Place is busy and loud. Food has gone downhill. I ordered a supposed smash burger well-done; it wasn't smashed and it wasn't well-done. I ate about a third of it and just gave up. The waitress asked me if I had a problem with my dinner. I told her it was bad and the burger patties were not well-done. She apologized telling me that she put the order in as well-done. Apparently the cooks just push out bad food. Oh well, she didn't adjust my bill for my bad dinner. Also, the place also doesn't how to make a G&T.

If I can give zero stars I would. This place is trash me and my husband went there for a brunch and decided to eat in. As we were waiting for our waitress to come over to come over to our seating area. They begin to notice us around 45 minutes to an hour. Once she came over she said I'm so sorry I didn't see you guys sitting over here. I said really hum that is a ironic someone gave us water about an hour ago, and told us that they would be right back. She apologize for it, but to be honest the food was not great at all. I would not recommend family nor friends to this juke joint. Bad food, bad service

Found a bug in my food, manager continuously walked around never stopped by the table to apologize nor credit the tab. Trying to give back to the community you grew up in is hard when the food and service is trash.

Place couldn't get a higher rating than this unfortunately. Customer service? Beautiful! We had such a wonderful server who was attentive and catered well - but the food? The food was awful for being somewhat overpriced let me explain. I got the fish and chips, first; the fish was tasteless, not a pinch of salt was put into that haddock. The French fries were great though (but how could you mess up French fries anyways, right?) My boyfriend got the steak tips with mashed potato. The steaks tip sauce was not good; at all. It tasted almost rotten, very poor quality. The mashed was OK, but again no flavor. We won't be back, and wouldn't recommend it to anyone looking for a meal - but maybe a burger?

Came here with a friend. The food was decent and it was a lively atmosphere. Service was great. We also enjoy coming here for football games. Overall we'd come back here again.

Landed in Bean Town on business - and while driving to the office (1.5 hrs from Logan) did a quick Google maps search and saw this place with a great Yelp reputation. Dropped in (a bit post lunchtime) and was impressed by the beer selection (recommend the Fiddlehead IPA). You just knew they must (also) have an awesome burger - and it was par excellence. Yea, "I Love Lucy's"

I like Lucy's brisket taco salad it's fabulous and they make an awesome cuba libre.. service is very friendly too in a nice environment.

This is my fourth visit to Lucy's in the last few years and each time has been super satisfying! I got Saturday brunch w my sister, and we ordered the Cinnabon Pancakes, Mexican Street Nachos, In Yo' Face Breakfast Sammie, and Lucy's Burger Royale, plus the Painkiller and Huckleberry Ginn drinks - TASTE: 3/5 - I'm a sucker for dessert, so the sweetness of the Cinnabon pancakes were my fave! Also loved the pickled red onion and cotija cheese in the nachos. My sister upgraded her fries to truffle fries, which was chef's kiss. But I sadly couldn't taste the spicy aioli in my breakfast sammie, and the side of homefries wasn't seasoned TEXTURE: 4/5 - the crisp truffle fries and loaded nachos were a highlight. Btw the "I Love Lucy's" detail on the brioche buns is awesome! PRICE: 3/5 - a little pricier than I expected for brunch, though I was glad that the nachos came in two sizes SERVING SIZE: 4/5 - portions were great, including the huge pancakes! SERVICE: 4/5 - we only waited a few minutes to be seated, and had a lovely waitress ATMOSPHERE: 5/5 - chose Lucy's partly because it was a warm, spring day out, and the staff helped open the patio window for us. Great tunes and vibe! PARKING: 3/5 - parked for free at a residential block nearby on Milton Street, and walked over

Food was excellent. Service ( John was our server) was great ,visited on ugly sweater brunch and food was timely and place was packed.

Whew this place is popular! Make sure to get advance reservations and arrive early to hunt down parking if you're trying to get a weekend brunch spot! I get the appeal--the food was solid, the service notably friendly, and the overall vibe was very fun and happening, while being quiet enough to hold a conversation without raising your voice. Glad I finally made it out to Lucy's!

I really like this restaurant and the bar atmosphere but my bartender griffin had zero personality, not even a fake smile , he was all business he messed up my order and never even asked us if we needed anything. I had to flag someone else down to fix my order and get us another round of drinks I'd go back but will avoid his section

Pretty good food when I went. I always pass by and there's always a crowd. Sometimes they play live music. I love how the windows open and even though it's at a busy intersection it doesn't disturb the energy in the restaurant.

Awesome modern brunch restaurant! There's a reason it's always crowded here, the food is amazing and they have so many options. Highly recommend coming here early on Sundays, around 10:30 is when we arrived, or use the Open Table app to set a reservation to beat the rush. We sat at our table right away when we arrived. The menu is full of excellent sounding brunch and lunch items. Ranging from sweet to savory options. I ordered the Cinnabon Pancakes and they were absolutely incredible. The dish comes with 3 large fluffy pancakes, they're light and coated with cinnamon and sugar. In between the pancake layers is the frosting/glaze of a cinnamon bun, vanilla bourbon custard. I couldn't believe how much it taked like Cinnabon! Maple syrup comes on the side if you want even more sweetness, but I don't think you need it. The dish is definitely big enough to share or even keep some leftovers. Definitely come check this restaurant out!

Always a good place to go for drinks!! The food is good too! Their fried pickles are bomb!! Service here is essential! Everyone is always so friendly.

First time eating here today, for a work lunch. As I started to eat my sandwich, I noticed the pork products in it smelled & tasted off. I brought it up with our waiter, who was amazing and very understanding. I was able to get a different item, which was good. I'm not feeling 100% right now but luckily I only had two bites and not the whole meal. There could be an issue with the pork itself or how it's stored or prepared. My coworkers didn't have any issues with their food (no one else got a meat item), so it might just be a fluke. Either way, greater care of the pork and meat seems to be needed.

The cocktail I believe it's called "can we just be friends?" Is one of my all time favorites! It's delicious and so refreshing if you love watermelon. Also Lucy's has all around great vibes, including the staff! Mairead is the sweetest, we love her!

The food and adult iced coffees are always great! Our waitress Zoe was fantastic and had us laughing the whole time. She has great energy

Lucy's was just okay. My chicken sandwich was dry and the sweet potato fries were soggy. The burger was over cooked (the waitress never asked how we wanted it) and the sliders were the same. I think it could be a great spot but there is some work that needs to be done to elevate it to that place.

Amazing environment. Very modern and rustic ambiance. There smoked bbq is the best part of the restaurant. Burnt ends are the best item in the menu. The mixologist are very enthusiastic about their craft. Come here for great drinks and great food on any occasion

Great food everything there is delicious. The staff is always nice. But terrible for parking.

Food was good. The hangover skillet was ok. A bit soggy all over since the home fries were next to the gravy. Not my favorite. The corn beef was very thick cut bits. Wasn't a fan. French toast sticks were a hit. Very good. The sliders were good. Eggs Benny was great. Not pictured was the breakfast egg rolls and those were absolutely delicious. The service was a bit slow since they were a bit busy. Only downside.

Sounds crazy to say at a place that specializes in BBQ, but get the watermelon salad. You can add a protein to it, but my advice is not to sully it. It's amazing just the way it is. Ok, we did eat other things and they were also tasty. We started with the pizza rolls. They could be a meal unto themselves if you wanted, but also great for sharing. Burger and truffle fries were good. The bun has the logo branded into the top which is a nice aesthetic. I typically have water with my meal so I also like that they leave a full carafe on the table. Especially helpful here bc the water glasses are half size. Decor is warm, lots of dark wood, but the fresh greenery brightens it up. Every tv was set on a sports channel, but I didn't feel a strong testosterone vibe. Seemed a little incongruous. And then there is the watermelon salad!

This has become a favorite spot of mine to go to during the pandemic. I live really close to Lucy's and have been occasionally ordering out. So far, I am in love with their truffled parmesan fries and I've tried their wings and their burger. I think the price is a little overpriced but it is a "american bar" type food. The ambiance inside is really cute and a nice spot to hang out with friends for the evening. I haven't had a chance to go during the pandemic and they have a really nice outdoor seating area which I'm sure once the weather gets nicer it will open up.

First time visiting and it was just okay. The Staff: The hostesses were great but the bartenders were very blah. They were good at getting drinks when flagged down but had no personality and didn't smile. We felt like we were inconveniencing them by spending over $100 between the 2 of us. The Food: the Spinich dip was great! The Cubano was sup par, meat was dry. Ceasar Salad was great.. The Pasta meal my wife got was good. The Beer: decent selection. Had about 25 or so on tap 1/4 of which were ciders. Looks like this place rotates beers a lot which is neat. Most were 7 to 8% so be ready for that. Price: Little pricey but it's Boston so expected.
