lucy's eastside diner

kick butt!. you don't go tolucy'sfor good food... it's great atmosphere and even better hours. when you're feeling for something to satisfy that late night hunger,lucy'sis best bro!! their peanut butter milkshake is dynamite!!

better than denny's. i live nearlucy'sand like it. it's a fun place, and can be packed at 3pm or 3am.

the angry birds dinner is pretty good, as is the mac 'n' cheese w bacon. and the caesars are pretty good too. it's surprisingly cheap compared to the other places on main.

service can take a while, but the girls working there are funny and friendly.

the hashbrowns suck and they should definitely change them.

this place was featured on john catucci's you gotta eat here(food network) it's located on main street and 11th avenue this little diner is a diamond in the rough a complete gem never call it a dive or a hole in a wall this place has some serious class. i ordered thelucy'striple threat and a black coffee the food was insanely delicious the service was extremely friendly and attentive i would definitely recommend this place. this place is opened 24 hours and is crazy busy bring your appetite and a bit of patience

love love lovelucy'sdiner. its open 24/7 which is great for drunken late nights. their breakfast is where its at. the decor inside is cute.. exactly what you would think when you imagine a quaint diner. they have boozy milkshakes which is always a plus!

so it's entirely possible that i ordered wrong, so i'm giving the dish i had a 0.0, but the environment a 4.0 -- which averages out to 2.0. the uncle ev's chorizo hash tanked. i have an aversion to left-overs so when i taste something that resembles it, it doesn't sit right with me. the hash felt like pre-cooked potato and chorizo that has been sitting around for a while (it's a 24-hour restaurant so it's possible i guess), re-deepfried, and mixed up with pre-made fried onions which were soggy. i would definitely stay away from this dish. i will givelucy'sanother try some other time and go with some of the readers' suggestions next time. the diner vibe is definitely very charming, and the staff is friendly.

thumbs up. after work, at 2:30am,lucy'swas a good choice. our server (craig?) was funny and attentive. it wasn't too busy but there were a few other diners inside. the eliseo was great. fresh avocado, chili and grated cheese on a giant hot dog? yes please! the ginger beer was good; next time, we'll get the soft serve. clam chowder was a decent side. no surcharge, so a definite plus. my friends like the mac & cheese and meatloaf hoagie. their fries were very crispy. i snuck a couple of bites and i liked the mildness of the mac & cheese.
awesome decor. very retro. 24 hours is a major plus, given my weird hours.
wish i had discovered this place sooner.

terrible food, dirty kitchen.lucy'sused to be my partner and my favourite place to go for breakfast, lunch, dinner or late night eats. recently there food quality has went from mostly tasty to all frozen. the most recent time and the last time we will ever go into lucy's, we ordered and then realized the cook was out in the diner talking to a few friends. she was not only talking but having a glass of water and fondling the straw with her hands that had been in her mouth. she then preceded to the kitchen to cook our meal, touching the bread and veggies without washing her hands. this is a regular practice at this restaurant. we cancelled our order and will never return. they lost atleast two customers that came a couple times a week.

i dont know why this place is not rated higher. for being open 24h and the price,lucy'sis amazing. nothing gourmet but a solid spot for some satisfying bacon and eggs and greasy deliciousness.

i'm sorry i don't usually write reviews for restaurants i'm a carry on kind of gal but in his case i opened an account just to bitch about lucy's. sorry lucy you have it coming. i've given all kinds of benefit of the doubt.
i swear to god the cooks do not know how to treat a potatoe! i've eaten atlucy'smore than a few times in all different times of day (i work/live near it) and not one time ever could i rely on what i was going to get but each and every time get flat out insulted by how bad the food is.
i'm not even going to mention the service cause i've seen some very cool tattoos and hair styles there and that counts for a lot in my book. you can't expect ppl to be that cool and expect good service it's mutually exclusive.
but the potatoes! so bad. every time!
mashed, cubed, it doesn't matter you ain't getting a tasty morsel ever. you also get to pay for the privilege they're that cool.

a bit nicer than a dive diner.lucy'sis in the heart of hipsterland on main street's coffee shop sector, and it's got the retro-cred decor that's de rigeur with the the piercing/tattoo/bowling shirt crew. but i don't thinklucy'sis fitted out like that for ironic reasons. they just haven't changed anything since that part of vancouver was serving breakfast to hung-over dock-hands in dungarees, not college-educated theatrical types in clothes they dug out of their dead grandpa's attic.

lucy's has some modern touches on the plate, like the chorizo and hollandaise on my "three little piggies" triple-bennie. i bet guys would have sneered at that as being too fancy in whatever eralucy'swas new. back in the day, old-timers might have liked the peanut butter milkshake i had,(not a bad deal for $5) but they wouldn't have been able to wrap their heads around the idea of putting wild turkey bourbon in it. unfortunately, neither could i, because i was brekking with some mates from work, and it was still before 0900. even a 24-hour joint likelucy'shas to pay attention to the timing of liquor laws.

i noticed one review slagged the hash browns. i had doubts about eating them, but they were fine -- individualized cubes of white potato that tasted as though they had been deep-fat fried. not your typical hash browns, but deep-fried potatoes would get applause in old times as well as new.

food is mediocre at best, but serious is (usually) okay.lucy'sis a go-to hang out spot for my friends and i, but i think it's just for their milkshakes, and 24/hr convenience. if you're looking for good food, i'd skip lucy's, but if you want greasy-spoon hangover relief or milkshakes at 4am,lucy'swould be the place to go, with all it's 50s-style decor ("linoleum" floors and all).

day 2 began with craving for proteins andlucy'seastside diner was the lucky first stop of the day. lucy impressed all - while i enjoyed my down south breaky, others described the hashbrowns as the best ever and the hollandaise sauce as tasting like real hollandaise.   when the itinerary begins on main street, it is difficult to leave main street. strolling and shopping brought us back to shaktea . while only an hour after our breakfast, the smell of freshly baked scones were simply hard to resist. three of us, three scones made it a mini snack, thoroughly enjoyed with devonshire cream and shaktea's french earl grey fruit preserve. once we made sure we sustained the many retailers of main street, guests were back in le jardin for a glass of rosé and some snacks. and what's a better treat than incorporating some jardin crop in the dinner menu. way too many tomatoes that are still green like grass. why no

to my tattooed friend. thanks for the delicious chorizo hash and milkshake!lucy'sis a great place for late night breakfast and snacks

what happened?!. i have been going to lucys since it opened. i used to love this place, it was a great breakfast spot. nowadays when you go into lucys eastside diner here is what you will encounter. staff that seem to be drunk out of their mind, that couldnt care less about customer service. food that looks and tastes like it came out of the freezer, then microwaved. hipsters. and their cook (tall black guy) will hit on you with lines like, "baby, you eyes are so sexy". my friends and i realized that he had hit on all of us individually and none of them will go back to lucys. and it is dirty! it often smells like garbage inside the restaurant, the washrooms are gross and, you cant touch anything in the place without getting something sticky or greasy on your hand. i give up onlucy'seastside dinner...

looking for a great breakfast??? dont stop here!!!. this is my first review as i am normally easy to please, and can normally find something good out of a situation. not the case here!! we had heard oflucy'sand thought we would stop for breakfast.... wish we hadn't!! it was by far the worse breakfast i have ever had. we ordered the pancake stack, and the chorizo hash. seriously, frozen pancakes from a box would have been way better. they were over cooked, flat, watered down and flavorless. the fruit compote consisted of a few frozen blueberries - yes they were cold! the hash left a lot to be desired, cold chorizo, tasteless potatoes and severely runny eggs... i havent even spoken about the burnt tasting coffee!! i got one word for you ... yuk!!! if you are thinking of going to lucy's... dont!!! wish we hadnt!!
