Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar & Restaurant

Restaurant $$ 4.4 (2587)


Lucy's Retired Surfers Bar & Restaurant offers a lively atmosphere with a mix of coastal-inspired dishes. While some customers appreciate the vibrant setting and friendly service, the authenticity of the food isn't always fully aligned with true New Orleans cuisine, as indicated by several patrons. The burger and bar fare seem to attract more praise than the signature New Orleans dishes, suggesting a desire for improved authenticity.

" Wow! What a fabulous experience at Lucy's! We had the seafood platter and it was fantastic. Fresh shrimp and fish that tasted like they were just caught! The blackened fish tacos were next level; even my friends who usually steer clear of seafood were raving about it. The atmosphere had such a beachy vibe with awesome decor. Our waitress was super friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. This isn't just another tourist trap! I would come back here in a heartbeat! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a mixed bag at Lucy's! The vibe is definitely upbeat, and the drinks are strong, which is a plus! Unfortunately, I expected more from the food after hearing so much about the place. The po' boy I had was good but didn't stand out among other places I’ve been to in NOLA. I did love the ambiance though—perfect for relaxing with friends. " (*Curated Review*)

" We recently tried Lucy's for dinner after hearing some good things. The ambiance is vibrant with a beachy feel which makes it a great spot to unwind. Service was friendly, and the drinks were fun! Unfortunately, the food didn’t live up to my expectations. The shrimp we had seemed quite frozen and not very fresh. I was hoping for a more authentic New Orleans experience. I might return for drinks but not necessarily for food. " (*Curated Review*)

" Had an amazing dining experience at Lucy's! From the friendly service to the amazing ambiance, it all made for a lovely evening. The shrimp tacos were my favorite! They were super delicious! We also ordered the nachos which were a tasty treat, but could use a bit more cheese. Would recommend coming here especially for the enjoyable atmosphere! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a fun experience at Lucy's! The courtyard was a great spot to enjoy drinks with friends. We tried the fish tacos and they were surprisingly good! The margaritas were delightful and refreshing. The atmosphere was vibrant and had a nice buzz without being too loud. I do think the food could have been a bit more authentic to New Orleans, but overall, we had a great time and would come back.

" I stopped by Lucy's for a quick bite and ended up staying for the whole evening! The atmosphere is very inviting, but the food fell a bit short of expectations. I had the shrimp po'boy, which was dry and seemed like frozen shrimp rather than fresh gulf shrimp. The service was somewhat slow, but the staff was friendly. They do have a great drink selection which made the visit enjoyable in the end. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely dinner at Lucy's for my wife's birthday. The atmosphere was lively and vibrant, making it a perfect spot for celebration. I ordered the blackened shrimp and grits, and it was one of the best versions I've tasted. A little kick of spice balanced perfectly with the creamy texture. The drinks were amazing too! I highly recommend doing the Scorpion Shot; it was a fun addition! We will definitely return on our next trip to NOLA. " (*Curated Review*)
