Lucy’s Diner

OK it is old school breakfast but very good; my brothers had the chicken fried steak and it was excellent. I had the ham and it was the best breakfast ham I have had in years; real ham-​not deli ham. I had over easy eggs and both my brothers liked the potatoes extra crispy on the grill. The only thing that was no great were the grits; I use almost no salt in my cooking but in this case I don’t think any salt was in them and they weren’t nice and creamy.
I would go here –Rodgers is filled with chain places and we like to try out non-​chains-​the place is what it is and very good.

after going to breakfast this morning at a national chain and being hugely disappointed (sitting 20 minutes without being waited on and waitress’ all around) we left and went to Lucy’s. as usual, service was spot on, home cooked food was excellent — cooked correctly and hot. Atmosphere makes you feel like eating at home. is now our weekly breakfast destination. They weren’t too busy to take care of you but not intrusive.

Lucy’s is good food and great service. Excellent breakfast. Come here all the time and never disappointed.

Good home cooked food, this is the 5^th time I’ve eaten here, and I’ve never had a disappointing meal.

This a family favorite. They have some of the best breakfast food in town. I am always happy with anything I order and it is great atmosphere for a family. On Mondays and Thursdays they have free pie after 4. The pie is a must have!

We have been to Lucy’s once for dinner and twice for breakfast. The dinner items were definitely better than the breakfast items. The pork chops were tender and juicy. The green beans and potato salad were tasty. The highlight from the meal was the hot and creamy mac & cheese. The hamburger was freshly made and was great! The onion rings were hot and crunchy. We were comped pecan pie which was nothing special. The hot and fresh cinnamon rolls are the best!
For breakfast we ordered the Philly Steak and Cheese Omelet, Western Omelet, and Silver Dollar Pancakes. The Philly omelet is stuffed with shredded steak and sautéed green peppers and onions. There is a slice of Swiss cheese on top. The steak was bland. The peppers and onions were greasy. There was virtually no cheese. The Western omelet also had virtually no cheese and its taste was nothing special. The highlight of breakfast was the Silver Dollar Pancakes. You get 6 smaller pancakes which we shared. The regular pancakes looked large and thick so these smaller ones were perfect as a side for the omelets.
Highly recommend dinner. We won’t be going back for breakfast.

I went to Lucy’s tonight and had a good meal only to find out that they just recently changed the oil they fry with to Peanut oil. For most people, this is no big deal. To me, who has an extreme allergy to peanuts, it is a huge deal. If you are going to change to something like that, you HAVE to inform your customers. And the manager never came out and apologized or anything. And when my wife called the best he could say was in sorry and that we could call the corporate office. Now my night is ruined as I had to rush home to take medicine hoping I won’t have to spend the night in the ER.

It’s awesome that they’re open 24 hours. However if you go late the service is not great. The food is okay. It’s better if you just got done at the bar (lol)
We used to go quite a bit… then like 3x in a row I had food that tasted «off» and I figured 3x is a charm.

Awful service. Orders incorrectly prepared. Never again. I would give you a ZERO, but Unilocal won’t let me.

I had the chicken fried steak breakfast with biscuit and gravy and grits. I also had a pancake. Aside from the grits (mediocre) the rest of the food was fantastic, and I enjoyed the service. Will definitely come back.

Went to breakfast there with a friend, the service was great and quick, brought our food on time good food, everything we asked for she brought promptly, I would go back.

While visiting on a working vacation in Rogers, I was wanting to scope out some local flair and came across Lucy’s Diner. As an outsider, I looked the part with my flip-​flops, collared shirt, and baggy cargo shorts. There was no mistaking that I had just flown in from somewhere else. Yet I was greeted with a hearty, «Welcome to Lucy’s. Sit wherever you’d like!»
This was the beginning of a great down-​home, southern experience that encouraged me to visit once a day while I stayed there. It was the last meal that I had ate before boarding my plane back home and it resonated with me greatly. The food is extremely reasonable and service is quick (even on Sunday where they were quite busy). Not to mention that there’s plenty of it!
The Good:
Amazing service with people that are genuinely interested in creating an awesome experience. They call regular customers by their first names. They were engaging and never pressuring. A fun atmosphere with a «roadside diner» feel. Food portions were phenomenal and made of fresh, quality ingredients.
The Bad:
Although all the portions were sizable, Lucy’s forte is their grits and potatoes. They take over the plate and taste really good. Unfortunately, the meats seemed a bit bland and required some kind of condiment.
The Ugly:
The servers also function as cashiers and bussers. While I noticed about 4 – 5 at any given moment in the condensed dining room, there seemed to be very little in way of an organization system. Like car salespeople on a lot. This didn’t seem to impose anything in regards to service but other duties like bussing tables seemed to sometimes lack.
My $.02…
Lucy’s Diner is a fun place for cheap eats any time of the day. Big portions and great atmosphere make up for simple aesthetics that may be lost. I highly recommend eating here while staying in Rogers or becoming a regular if you are new to the area.

This place was dirty!!! The staff looked like they were all half baked and the food was not good.
Everything was bland, greasy and cold. The restroom was DISGUSTING and trash was everywhere… we spent $ 30 on two people and crappy food… not to mention the 45 minute wait in a half empty place!
I would never go here again. The Waffle Hut down the road puts this place to shame. Don’t waste your money because you could get better quality from McDonalds.

I’m reviewing their breakfast only. I come here weekends between 10am-​12nn.
I love this place! I prefer to come here than Denny’s.
They are: Open ²⁴⁄₇. Available parking. Cheap. Good portioned food.
I suggest getting their pancakes and hash browns. Pancakes are fluffy and rich. They come with heavy butter. Hash browns are scattered on the grill so they are crispy. They offer several toppings: ham onions, etc. Check out their menu for more details. But definitely get the hash browns!
The french toast and waffle are not that good. French toast made from cinnamon swirl bread — a bit disappointing.
They have two entrances– one by the entry side and one by the exit side. You park around the building. Once you get in, it’s seat yourself. I suggest waiting for a booth or table by windows to be available because sitting by the door would not be a good experience as there’s traffic to and from kitchen and people would be standing next to you waiting for table.
Overall, a good experience on all my visits.

This is a great all-​night diner. If you want a burger, bacon and eggs or pie at 3 a.m., this place is it. Fun music and atmosphere.
Absolute favorite item is the peanut butter chocolate pie. Whooboy, if they have it available, you do not want to miss out on this one. It is creamy, cold, chocolatey, sweet and will likely cause you to make suggestive noises (so try to restrain yourself).
If you love diners, you will want to check out this place.

Their food is good, it’s kind of hit or miss. I was seriously turned off by the pregnant waitress out front taking her smoke break while drinking some sort of mystery «juice» that made a fellow waitress pucker her face due to the strength of the beverage. For some reason I get the feeling that some codes are not being followed.

Best darn breakfast spot around!
Bring your appetite!
Service was quick and friendly. Regulars are greeted with a smiling, «you going to have the normal or mix it up today?»
Blend of the old and new: classic diner feel but with a «modern» touch (i.e. coke freestyle machine).
What more to be said? Try it out!

Great little diner, the food is terrific. My one visit was a very busy time and I waited way too long to get food but… It was spot on!

Hands down the best place in rogers to eat!!! Do not miss this. It might just be a diner but it’s the best diner food in the world. The gravy is not real but it tastes great. Everyone is so friendly and its a real family place. Try the steak and eggs. It’s my favorite. Oh Ya and it serves breakfast all day.

Well the reviews of this place are all over the page, but my experience was a solid 4 stars. We went in about 930 on a Saturday morning for breakfast. We were able just be seated immediately, although the place was pretty busy, and all the staff were super prompt and friendly. The menu has all the normal breakfast items well represented, and a great selection of omelettes. I noticed that some combos would include grits and hashbrowns, not one or the other and they would also do the hashbrowns with all the toppings like Waffle House.
They have a ridiculous menu of soda fountain drinks for us non-​coffee drinkers. I’m also not a big breakfast person, so I grabbed a soda, a couple of eggs over easy, sausage, and a biscuit with gravy. Eggs were perfectly done, biscuit was good, sausage was okay, and gravy was meh, by which I mean it’s like gravy at every other breakfast establishment. Everybody uses the mix, and nothing with real meat. Pretty flavorless. My hubby had the same eggs, hash browns, bacon, and two incredible pancakes. I don’t really even like pancakes, and these were super fluffy, but with a nice almost toasty outside. I helped myself to several bites & we still couldn’t finish them all.
The fact that we were surrounded by super nice people, wanted for nothing the whole time, and I’m actually thinking about eating pancakes there again means I got to go four stars. Maybe I’ll venture in one day for chicken and dumplings and let you know how those are.
