Hey Lucy has two things going for it- reasonably good service and long lines out the door at Insomnia down the street, some of whom don't want to wait an hour for a table.
The French toast at Hey Lucy was not particularly good. It was actually not worth ordering. In addition to it, I paid 4-5$ extra for three greasy pieces of bacon that were not the size of one normal piece of bacon. The coffee was at least hot, and my server was good with bringing refills.
I would write more, yet the place inspires so little enthusiasm or emotion of any kind that it is not worth it.
