Wow! I am so thrilled to see all of the comments! Now, what I’m about to say is going to surprise you given the fact that I’m the GM. I took over in July and (unfortunately) my general exposure to the Juicy Lucy is limited–I didn’t know what the “rules” were. Even after 25 years in the business, this is my first experience with the Lucy. Who’s interested in helping me change ours to make it the BEST! Yes, I want your input!!! Email me directly at john@barabilene.com and let’s chat!

I completely agree and said a lot of these same thing to my friend and trusty Lucy-tasting sidekick. While I appreciate any unique spin on the Lucy (the Blue Door Pub NAILS this with their unique offerings), the inherent juicy part is the cheese in the middle, and the lack of toppings- letting the meat and cheese and [optional] onions shine. Totally agree. And thanks for the mention earlier! Your website serves as our trusty resource for the Lucy Tour

I was at Bar Ab around late November 2008. Inquired about the Juicy Lucy. The waiter said that there is actually no cheese on the inside. Misleading…

I visited Bar Abilene on my tour tonight. Another group of friends warned me that the Lucys they had were “overcooked until there was no cheese inside”, and they sent them back. Maybe it was because they were new to making them?

Well, I went tonight and had 6 Lucys around the table, and not one had *any* cheese on the inside, just peppers. We asked the waiter, and he claimed they were made with cheese in the middle. Your picture shows a bubble of cheese, which ours had non of. And at $11, it’s far pricier than the competition. I agree, avoid this.

BTW, if you just think of this as a burger and a not a lucy, it was ok, though overpriced.
