    Ramshackle older place- lots of folks have obviously loved this place for many years, and I do too. Just a perfect vibe. Service was friendly and efficient without being "too much". We loved everything we tried- which included chicken tenders, turnip greens, cheese grits and Mexican Coke sweet potatoes. All were at the top of their game. Honestly, some of the best grits and greens I have ever had. As for the tenders, if you like crust these are good because they are thin, so you're getting a larger crust to chicken ratio. And they are just delicious. I prefer a more meaty tender, but I would eat these anytime. Topped it all off with a crisp Lone Star Light. I will be back to try more things on this menu.

    First time visit to Lucy's. We arrived and was immediately seated. We sat inside due to the heated weather conditions. The waiter assisted immediately to provide drinks. For the appetizer we tried the fried eggs which were ok and the fried pickles were a bit salty to me. We decided to try the catfish meal and was pretty good. Flavor was perfect and it came out smoking hot which I can appreciate. Overall nice spot and our waiter was very attentive.

    Lucy's was recommended to us as one of the best place to eat in Austin. I'm not sure about that but it certainly hit the spot for my group. Casual dining at its best (you sit semi-outdoors at picnic tables and benches), you'd better come hungry because you are going to want to order everything. Fortunately there were eight of us so we got to sample everything from the fried chicken and catfish to the chicken-fried steak and the "Kinky" club. Our waiter was a no-nonsense kind of guy who still tolerated all the questions from our British visitors with barely concealed amusement. I always order a chicken-fried steak if there's one on the menu and this one didn't disappoint - excellent breading and tangy cream gravy. And because I didn't get to try the fried chicken, I ordered a bucket to go!

    Lucy's isn't the polished restaurant to which I've become accustomed. It's a step up from a food truck in a parking lot or perhaps the next best thing to eating in the wilderness...in a city! I have nothing against this aesthetic; for me it's was a surprise. The picnic table and bench seating was plentiful during my visit...however, I can imagine this place being a lot of fun and a great place to hang and meet people when it's packed. The service I received was great...was asked often how I was doing, etc. I love their menu...full of all the stuff I love to eat! I wish I had 5 stomachs! As it is I had to choose and narrowed it down to items that I don't see often. Like deep fried deviled eggs! So delicious! The only thing wrong is that you only get 4. Creole Okra, which is a spicy okra stew awesome...I could have a bowl full! I ordered the fried chicken basket...which come with drumstick, wing, thigh and breast...all on the bone...all delicious, moist, tender and well seasoned....did I mention all pieces were crispy! I didn't expect all the pieces to be juicy and moist from personal experience it's super easy to over cook a wing. I personally like a more battered chicken but Lucy's knows how to cook chicken. I enjoyed every morsel! Dessert was a tough choice! I could have had any of the choices but went with the "s'mores " pie, I love chocolate and this was the choice for me! Still wish I had more room in my stomach! lol What great food and a great experience!
