She said it was one of the best breakfast places she ever found so I was all about giving it a go myself. I had the huevos rancheros with cup of coffee. For a side I got fried potatoes. Nice place in downtown Sylva. Street parking right in front and available sat immediately upon arrival. Didn't have to wait long for food to come either. I enjoyed my meal and my wife got a biscuit and gravy and shared it with me and it was awesome as well. Lucy's is my new breakfast spot when visiting WCU.

They also offer pet-friendly outdoor seating, which is a great option if you're dining with your furry friend. Our waitress, Mackenzie, was fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly. The service was excellent from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the Grit Bowl Special, Chicken & Waffles, Brioche French Toast, and fresh fruit. The chicken tasted just like my grandma's recipe. It was crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with their spicy hot honey. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The coffee bar was another highlight! They offer so many specialty drink options, including hot chocolate topped with homemade whipped cream. And don't skip the fresh-squeezed orange juice, it was some of the best we've ever had! What really made this place stand out for our family was how kid-friendly it is. The kids got to draw pictures while we ate, and afterward they were able to hang their artwork in the hallway for everyone to see. They absolutely loved it! There's also a large lounge area in the back with cozy seating and games like Shut the Box and chess, making it a great place to relax while waiting for a table or after your meal. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast, outstanding service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, Lucy in the Rye is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back, and I highly recommend it!

This place is awesome! Best Grilled Chicken Salad I have ever had…read more I asked the owner how the chicken tastes like that. He said they use a seasoned grill, so all those different tastes from everything cooked on the grill are mixed in. That taste really popped! And the vegetables were super fresh. I even enjoyed the bacon bits (not like me). I preferred the Thousand Island dressing over the Italian dressing for this meal. I didn't eat the egg (I only eat scrambled eggs). The second trip was more of a breakfast meal and also very strong. Super-fresh fruit, eggs cooked very well done as requested, good bacon, and quality toast. I would give the first meal a 10 and the second meal a 9.4. Both incredibly high. The staff is very friendly, the prices are fair, and they will accommodate anything you want that isn't on the menu as long as they have it. Highly Recommended!

It's been their spot since 1926 and I'm not sure it's been cleaned since. The food was ok, but not delicious. The ladies room was so filthy that when I opened the door - I turned around and walked right back out of it trying not to touch anything. Good coffee & good service, but the toast was stale, only 1 kind of jam, flavorless hash browns, flat omelette. My husband got 2 eggs - cooked correctly - but also flavorless. (They didn't use any seasoning on anything, not even salt & pepper.) He said the sausage was ok, as was the sausage gravy. I got a Philly cheesesteak omelette (ok but not great) and asked for my hash browns we'll-done. They overdid the outside but the potatoes were uncooked & flavorless in the middle. This place belongs to the locals, save yourself and let them have it.

The diner is on a corner (park in the adjacent lot, or waaay down the block if you were late waking) and leave your name with the hostess. Super clean with a staff of amazingly friendly and superfast waitresses the restaurant is surprisingly spacious and feels more like a new house than a diner. The menu is just as large and accommodates light eaters and "I only eat breakfasters" alike. Portions are large and all food is served fast and hot. Try the sliced smoked sausage with hot onion and peppers if you like spice: with scrambled eggs it's fire. Pancakes were huge, bacon was generous and coffee constantly refilled. Grits? Yes please. Only thing missing for me was livermush (hint, hint ownership). No disappointments here; if you are patient the reward is a great meal with a two-hour nap to follow.

This diner is located in a back street, next to a market and close enough to a strip mall with restaurants. It's a quiet place although lots of people come in and out. We sat down, got our coffee, ate our meals, and wondered if we could eat more. The food was so tasty that we really wanted to take more food with us. I had a chicken fried steak and my gf had an omelette. Every table around us was busy eating, we were not the only ones who appreciated this food. For a humble place with delicious food, the prices were average. The coffee could use a little help, as well as the A/C, but all in all, it was a win for us hungry bears.

They were better dipped in the ranch, but I think they would have been much better if they had been cooked longer and sliced a little thinner. The atmosphere was great, with plenty of seating, and it was very kid-friendly. Overall, I'd definitely come back.

Upon walking in I saw two full size car booths & a jukebox. The vibe was exactly what I was looking for. I'm happy to say we got HUNNY as our server & she was the best & she cheered me right up. She was wearing a bright yellow dress & singing along with the jukebox. We talked doo-wop songs & I got recommendations for what to order. I decided on Country Fried Chicken with Mashed Potatos & it did not disappoint. The shakes are also really good & come with a waffle on top. We ended up going back the next day (HUNNY was off) but we still had a nice time. Tried the chicken & waffles & biscuits & gravy this time. There really wasn't anything bad that we tried & if you're lucky, you might get HUNNY & have a 5 Star Experience like we did. Would I return for a third time? YES!
