Lucy’s is a delightful restaurant bar that acts the way you wish Margaritaville would! Uoon entry to the bar, we were immediately welcomed by a friendly wait staff that let us choose the seat that we wanted. There is indoor and outdoor seating with high and low tables, and we chose to tuck ourselves away in the back. The kids menu had options that suited both of our kids and their meals came on frisbees that they took home with them! We also ordered a fun drink for each of them that came with a shark and flamingo floatie! To start we ordered chips and salsa, which were crisp, salty, and wonderful! The margaritas were on point and complimented the chips perfectly! Our meals were perfect mashups of Creole and Caribbean - NOLA perfection! To complete our meal, I did the Scorpion Shot Challenge - a shot of tequila with a dried (and de-stingered) scorpion that earns the lucky imbiber a free t-shirt (yay me)!

Shrimp and Grits

This was our second time here, first was 5 years ago. Five years ago, this was 'THE' place to go for a super fun, yet chill place to hangout and meet new people. Surf videos on the big screen and establishment appropriate music. I loved the plastic mermaids on the cups. I was really excited to return! Now, food was average, nothing amazing (except the swagger ), service was kind and informative and the vibe of the place was tired and washed up with a bit of defeat. The big screens played random sports channels and FX movies. Nothing surf and music was loud and lacked variety for a surf bar. The bathrooms were dirty and lacked hand soap. To me this means the staff were likely not washing their hands properly either. Very unfortunate the direction this place has taken. We will not return.

Trinity was our phenomenal wait! She was very friendly and accommodating to our large group! She explained all the specials and kept us laughing the entire time. The manager made sure to come over multiple times to make sure everything was good. We felt very welcomed by their staff. Oh and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the chips and queso!

This business is in a very cool building, but the music is hit/miss for me. The space is so cool, and if I were rating on that alone, it'd be a much higher rating. The problem is with the service. I'm reviewing as a person who only went to the bar, to be clear. On several different occasions, I waited 20-30 minutes at the bar just to order a drink. In all occasions, the only reason I didn't wait longer is because my one acquaintance who worked there happened to strolled by, saw me waiting, and took my order. She want even working the bar in any of these instances! The dining experience might be different, but as a bar, I hope you're not too thirsty. And don't tell my friend I dissed her workplace

Blackened Fish Tacos

Honestly, I was not expecting a lot out of this place however, they sure showed me! It was excellent. The food and the cocktails were divine! The atmosphere was fun and beachy and being from California I really enjoyed it like I said more than I thought I would. This coconut margarita right here changed my life. I've never had anything so delicious! Highly recommend trying it. I can't wait to go back for one! I also had a chicken sandwich with Brie cheese and bacon on it... Divine! simple fare made to feel a bit escalated. 10 out of 10!

Sweet Potato Fries, Fries

Food was great, drinks were really good, service was lacking. We got seated right away with our doggies outside and then the inattentive service started. The place want too busy and we had to ask for silverware and napkins after we received our appetizers. I had to go to the bar to get more drinks. We asked for extra ranch on the side three times before we received it. The queso we ordered was super creamy and very delicious but had to ask twice before we had our guacamole delivered, which was also delicious. Burgers are cooked to perfection and the fries a seasoned just right. The fruity drinks will sneak up on you. We will return hopefully with better service.

We stopped by last night around 7:00 to grab a quick bite, luckily we were sat fairly quick. That's where the good ends. We have been there several times before and we have enjoyed our food, but last night, the Queso was way too thick, too few chips. Not sweet tea, the coke I had was barley fizzy. Her plate was good as she wiped it out, Shrimp & Grits. But the music, what the heck, it was way too loud. You would have thought we were in a gangster hood rat place. Really people, I made the mistake of staying because my dinner date was hungry. I won't be going back!!!

What a nice surprise for our family this evening. Totally tasty fresh and had a kids menu (which isn't advertised from the street, but is totally kid friendly). And $4 margaritas! Plus, drinks come with a little mermaid which kept our kiddos entertained. Our waitress was super nice and she treated the kids to a hula hoop performance at the end of the dinner! My mom and I had the tuna and shrimp tacos and my other half had blackened chicken plate. The black beans were beautifully seasoned. The kids burger was handmade and not just a frozen thing. Overall, super happy campers!

A notch above typical bar fare. I had a decent cheesesteak and my luncheon companion had seared tuna. Both were cooked well and delivered to us promptly.

Went here for a welcome party. Fun place! Had the upstairs and balcony to ourselves. Great bartenders, food was delicious -- good and spicy! Chicken filet, shrimp casada, guacamole, chips and salsa, salad, grilled vegetables and rice. Shrimp stew that starts with "eff" but I don't know how to spell. Drinks were strong. Great time with new friends and family.

A slick dive bar with surfer vibes and good eats in the warehouse district. The seafood platter was delicious, and the garlic hot sauce on the side was the right touch for flavor. My girlfriend said the shrimp tacos were the best she's had in years. Great service and cool ambiance make this place a good spot to stop by in the warehouse district

We had brunch @ Lucy's on our very last day in NOLA and the catch of the day sandwich was outstanding.... I haven't eaten such fresh fish in awhile,it was seasoned so perfectly. I ended my meal with the "key lime mousse" nd that was wonderful too... Our server was warm.and patient with all the questions that we asked him ! Another NOLA gem !

Great place! The atmosphere was nice, the staff was fantastic and the food was delicious. I had the catch of the day, which was redfish fillet. I had it blackened and it came with mixed veggies and island rice. The bartender was very attentive and personable. I'll definitely be back.

Catch of the Day

Tried happy hour after waiting years to come back and visit the infamous Lucy’s. Marg wasn’t great and nachos shouldn’t be called nachos. And this is a few hours into happy hour so I’d like to think anything would be good. Maybe stick to the tacos or just chips n queso. Half the chips didn’t have cheese on them s …. If you don’t know care for good nachos, then just go for it!

I've been to Lucy's 4-5 times and ordered something different each visit. Every plate was fantastic and the servers were excellent. Currently (Sept 2023) there is some noisy renovation during the day (probably not at dinner time?) but otherwise the atmosphere was comfortable.

Come in a busy time, all tables are full except the bar area. Ordered the tuna salad and the wait is about 15-20 mins. Not bad for such a busy time. The seared the tuna is perfect, the sauce brought the food flavor of the tuna. The salad is mostly fresh and the strawberry is very flavorful. Very happy with my meal here.

We were warmly greeted upon entry. Seated right away! Appetizer recommended was calamari, it was quite good! We had the cheesesteak and the Pulled Pork sandwiches. The cheesesteak was the better choice! Pulled pork was good, I’ve had better and I’ve had worse. I’d rank it a 6/10. Service was great, staff was friendly.

I came here on my last night in New Orleans for a quick, easy meal and a drink near our hotel. You can't go wrong when your drink involves a plastic shark vomiting blood into a group of mermaids. I ate the fish tacos and they were very good. I don't think I was supposed to keep the shark, but I snuck it out in my doggy bag. Awesome place!

The queso dip was very runny. I ordered fries and never received them. The drinks were ok. We were recommended this place by a local as having good drinks and food reasonably priced.
