On a road trip from Atlanta to NW Florida, and got South of Atlanta and googled brunch on our route. This little gem popped up, so we decided to go. Great ambience and decor, very modern and clean, little touches and staying On brand was noticed!snagged a match box! Awesome craft cocktails and delicious brunch entrees. Do NOT miss the banana coconut bread with bananas and fig butter as a starter. I could Have just eaten that - It's absolutely amazing!!! great staff and very attentive service. We Could not make a reservation on Resy, but called directly and they kindly squeezed us in today. Will be back when driving through from now on! I'd love to try dinner next. They also have a space to rent for parties and catering events. Just Wish I lived closer to use that! Wonderful experience! read more

We love Lucy's! The food and service were both amazing. Everything we got was delicious but I forgot to take pictures. We went for brunch and got the lavender donuts and truffle fries to start, then the lemon ricotta hotcakes, smoked salmon tartine, and the big bad breakfast. Left feeling so satisfied! read more

What a nice place to have brunch. The restaurant is very bright and has a relaxing and comfortable ambiance. We were greeted immediately with a smile and sat very soon after arriving. We did have a reservation at opening time. A very pleasant young man brought us some water and poured it at the table. He asked how our weekend was going and really made us feel welcome. Our server arrived and was able to offer some suggestions as we normally ask about favorite dishes on our first visit to a restaurant. She was always quick to check on us and took care of us with a smile during our entire meal. We could see her interacting with other guests as well and making them feel at home. We decided on Lucy's Pimento Cheese as a starter and we made the right decision. It has a bacon onion jam on it and comes with grilled bread. If you like pimento cheese then you have to order this. It was some of the best I have ever eaten. We also each had a Bloody Mary and they were made perfectly with just the right balance of spice. For our entrees we had the Chicken and Waffle Bennie and the Croque Madame. The chicken was very tender and the egg was poached perfectly. The Lucy's Hash that comes with it were seasoned nicely and easily cut with a fork. The croque was delicious and packed with flavor. A very nice surprise was the greens and white balsamic vinaigrette. It might not look like much but the vinaigrette was a surprise star with its flavor. The restaurant does have a bar and also has some outside seating. We look forward to coming back to have dinner on a future visit and I highly recommend Lucy's if you are in Auburn. read more

A group of my friends and I came in for dinner, and our waitress asked if we had any allergies. One friend mentioned she had an allergy to tree nuts, and we ordered a side of the Brussels sprouts as an appetizer to share. My friend ate one and immediately recognized that she was having a reaction, so she went to the front to ask for help. Eventually she left to go to urgent care, and the waitress was incredibly insensitive, and told us something along the lines of that she seemed like she had time to make it to the hospital in a snarky tone, which was extremely insensitive to us. She later on came to our table and said that she had told us that there were nuts on her Brussels sprouts, even though all 9 of us at the table have zero recollection of this interaction. Overall, I am incredibly disappointed over how the situation was handled and the rudeness exhibited by the waitress. The next day, one of us called, and we were told that supposedly one order of the Brussels sprouts were rung in with no nuts, but when we ordered and when we received them to the table, there was no mention of this, especially because apparently the one with nuts was placed right in front of our friend with the allergy. The overall interaction felt highly unprofessional and was handled poorly, and I don't think I will be back for a long time. read more

Everything was amazing! We had the coconut banana bread as a breakfast starter, so delicious. We both had the big bad breakfast which was amazing as well. The bacon was delicious, the hash was yummy and the eggs and pimento biscuit were great as well. Definitely worth trying when you're in Auburn! read more

The food was delicious. The grown up grilled cheese and the juicy Lucy hamburger with fries was so good. Best margarita that I've had so far but I've only been here a month. The service was exceptional. The only thing I would have changed is the two top tables are to close to the people next to you. read more

Stopped in for the first time since we are visiting Auburn. Had read nice things about Lucy's and was looking forward to it. Came in on a Saturday evening and was able to get same day reservations, but on the earlier side (some after 8 were available too). Our entrees were great! I got steak frites and my wife got the lamb shank and loved it. Wasn't fond of the charcuterie board we got, however. But that wouldn't detract us from recommending it. Definitely it was everything it was supposed to be/going for. read more

We arrived 30 min prior to our reservation. We were seated on time. We waited 20 min for our waiter to wait on our table. Due to concern over service we ordered our drinks, appetizers and mains all at one time. Drinks and Appetizers were delivered in decent time. We were in the service desert from then on out. No checking on us or re ordering of drinks etc.... After an hour and no delivery of our main course WE had to check on our order only to be told by the manager that the server FORGOT to put in the order. Service was totally lacking. This restaurant is a joke. Auburn has much better options for food and service. Look elsewhere! (Food pictured below is what we were finally served). read more

I was recommended this place by my best friend for their grits! We went there and I thought it was the cutest place in the world. The decoration and the ambiance was amazing. The customer service was excellent. The food was AMAZING!!!!!! So because my friend recommended the grits, I had my heart set on the shrimp and grits. Unfortunately they did not have any grits left but that's ok because I had the juicy Lucy burger and boy it was juicy!!!!!!! I also ordered it with fries which was great too. The DRANKS!!!!!!!! Super cute and delicious! I had a Hugo Crete and it was such a super fun brunch drink. Not too strong and just something to sip on. If you are in Auburn, definitely make this a visit.........and try the grits!!!!!!! read more

I was already a huge fan of Lucy's brunch so I just had to come back and try their dinner menu. I ordered the pesto and lemon pasta, truffle fries, and the lemon pie. The pasta was a 1/10. Extremely bland, definitely do not recommend ordering. The truffle fries, however, were absolutely delicious and the lemon pie definitely stole the show! Everything from the crust to the meringue was to die for! read more

Wow!! Love this place as soon as I walked in. What a gem in Auburn. Relaxing great vibe setting is matched with the very well thought out menu. It's like mom's cooking with an update touch. Friendly smiling faces everywhere from the staff. The King salmon was cooked perfectly and matched with fresh NOT overcooked veggies. The bread pudding and lemon meringue pie were life changing. Wish I had a Lucy's in my town! Y'all are lucky. read more

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon Lucy's while spending a weekend in Auburn and were so glad we did! We went for Sunday brunch and took a seat at the bar to avoid a 45 minute wait. Our bartender was really kind and personable. He was quick to take our orders and the food arrived quickly. The Big Bad Breakfast was huge! Exactly what you need to get your day going. The avocado tartine was also some of the best I've ever had. It was flavorful and filling, yet still tasted light and was just the right amount of food. I added on the pimento cheese biscuit for $4 because I wanted to try that also. It was a big biscuit! It was good, but I probably wouldn't add it on again. I didn't order a drink because I had a long drive ahead of me, but the drink list was VERY intriguing too. It was fun to watch the bartenders create the drinks because you can tell how much detail goes into them. The only downside to our experience at Lucy's was the service. Once we finished our food, it was hard to flag down the bartender for our check. It was nice to not be pushed out, but we even waited quite a bit after giving them our card to tip and sign the bill. It wasn't a big deal, but something to be aware of if you're in a time crunch. Overall, Lucy's is a cute spot! It's not in the heart of Auburn's campus, which is refreshing if you're in town for a game - but it's still conveniently located near campus. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked great, so I don't think you can go wrong with whatever you order! read more

Gather a bunch of your girlfriends and grab some brunch! This place is too cute. Play a little dress up and take some pics for the gram here. The decor is modern with a touch of Southern to it. You'll be getting good vibes right when you step into the restaurant and it will trace along with you as you leave. The prices are pretty reasonable, but portions are pretty small. I tried the Lemon Ricotta Hotcakes, and trust me, they were delicious. But after like 3 bites, they were gone. I also had a few bites of the Huevos Rancheros, which were made with more of a hard tortilla rather than a charred tortilla that I am used to. It had the crunch, but it also got balanced out with the fresh guacamole, beans, and runny yolk. Great brunch place, and I would definitely love to come again! read more

We had lunch here on Valentine's Day and it was very good. It was actually brunch- I didn't know they did brunch on weekdays but I was fine with the surprise. Our server was great! I think her name was Aliyah? My boyfriend loved the tuna burger and I enjoyed the breakfast plate. The donuts were yummy but a little underdone in the middle. The atmosphere and music were great. I will definitely be coming back read more

This place actually gets a 4.5 but yelp doesn't let you do a half star rating. My first time at this place. The service level was, ok, the aesthetic is cool enough--modern, yet a hint of country. The food was good, enough. The patrons were fun. I didn't love the 21 year old behind the bar continuing to call me everything except Ms., Ma'am, or the name I gave her. It's not the Waffle House and the hospitality should match the environment. Hard stop. I'm a native of the south too, so it was just off putting. Otherwise that my drinks were good and I'll likely return in a few months or so...maybe. read more

I really want to love Lucy's--I truly do. The vibes are great, and the staff is always attentive and welcoming. However, I'm leaving this review in the hopes that something can be done about a recurring issue: the food is consistently overcooked. In the past month, I've dined at Lucy's twice--once for brunch and once for dinner. At brunch, my biscuit was burnt and hard, but I chalked it up to a one-off mistake. Unfortunately, my dinner experience left me even more disappointed. I ordered the Juicy Lucy burger, and while the inside had some pink, the overall taste was burnt and had a strong charcoal flavor. As a picky eater, the dinner options here are already limited for me, and the burger felt like the safest choice--so it was frustrating that it was overall subpar for the price I paid. I think I could again chalk it up to a one time mistake, but I wasn't the only one with a burnt burger. Two others at my table also ordered burgers (all three cooked at different temperatures), and both of them noticed the same burnt taste. While dining, we ran into a group of friends who mentioned their burgers were also burnt, and one of them had even warned us that this happened to them last time as well in October, so it's clear this isn't an isolated incident. The burger has so much potential to be great, and I love so much about Lucy's otherwise (the truffle fries are so good), but until this issue is addressed, I'd recommend avoiding the burger. I really hope this feedback helps, because I'd love to come back and have a better experience in the future! read more

First off let me say this is a very tastefully decorated restaurant. . . love the environment. Service was also very very good. Where i have an issue is the food. We ordered their Charred Oysters, but you wouldn't even know where were oysters included. . . it was basically cheese and creole seasoning. We live in Florida and we KNOW oysters and this set the stage. We then had Charcuterie with Cheese and it was 'ok' - nothing to write home about . . .after these experiences we only ordered Ceasar salads and a wedge salad which were very good. Wine was also great. Again, service was perfect but for the price, we expected so much more from a creative quality standpoint. Too bad because we LOVE the restaurant 'feel'. read more

Always an excellent meal. My favorites are the brussel sprouts, smoked salmon dip and scallops. Never leave without one of their famous desserts! The service exceeds expectations. I love the cool ambiance of the bar. read more

Food is excellent. Service is great. Noise level is terrible- all reflecting surfaces above, below, and sides, so nothing is sound-absorbing. At a recent private dinner with a large group I could not hear my friend on the other side of my wife and I'm not a good lip reader. This has been a problem since they opened but there's been no attempt to mitigate it. If you can stand the noise, everything else is excellent. read more

Great Saturday brunch spot but make reservations! Our family of three walked in at 10 AM on a Saturday and was told the wait would be an hour and a half. Fortunately, we found spots at the bar and so happy that we did not go anywhere else! Everyone working there was so nice, the food was so fresh, and the drinks were fantastic! Highly recommended! read more

Very disappointing experience. 5 ladies having dinner before the play. The naked chicken dish was inedible for 2 of us. My oysters on the half shell were extremely tiny. The size of a nickel. Spoke to the manager. Had 3 very disappointing meals. Manager was not sure what to do about it so she gave us One piece of lemon pie!!!!!!????? Unable to recommend Lucy's in Auburn at this time. read more

OBSESSED. We had reservations and were seated right away. Our waiter was very friendly and told us his favorite items on the menu. I tried the irish coffee and it was warm and delicious. For appetizers, we had the maple fried brussel sprouts. We basically licked the bowl clean they were so good. For entree, I had the salmon and my husband had the short ribs. We were so stuffed by the end of the meal. Great experience, can't wait to come back. read more

Was looking forward to trying this place because had heard good things. Had dinner reservation for 6 with a customer but our plans changed. Thought I could cancel 24 hours out but apparently it was 48. Asked if I could just use cancellation penalty ($150) for a gift card for future date but they would not. Certainly won't give them any more of my money now! Lots of other good options around Auburn (Acre, Waverly Local, etc)... read more

We went here for dinner on a Sunday and were disappointed with the overall experience. The service and the staff were great, but the experience moved TOO fast. We had a 6pm reservation, arrived 5 minutes early and were seated immediately. The entire meal felt rushed, so much so that we had paid and left by 6:20. At this price point, we expected a better overall experience and evening. The food was good, but not stellar-- and not on par with the other dining options in this price range nearby. The chicken pot pie is good, but nothing to rave over. My husband ordered their Sunday special of fried chicken and said the breading wasn't crispy, but mushy. Based on how fast it came out (within 5 minutes of ordering), it wasn't cooked to order but had been sitting for a while. read more

Lucy's promises and almost but does not quite deliver to get 5 stars. I dined here once before the pandemic and once recently and my experience was similar. Then setting is beautiful. Our service at first was a little uneven to start but we were the first diners of the evening and after a while the service was good. The food is not great. It is the usual American menu and the usual piling on of a entrée over a starch served in a bowl. Ok, but done just as well in numerous high priced restaurants. I had short ribs which were ordinary. The strip steak my fellow diner had did not compare to a decent filet( no other steak on the menu). The fish dishes were nothing special as well. You won't be overly disappointed at Lucy's, but you won't be "wowed" either. read more

My girlfriend and I were in the Auburn area on her 40th birthday, and we chose to celebrate at Lucy's. The Wagyu steak was delicious while everything else (oysters, Brussel sprouts, grouper, and cocktails) was completely average. The ambiance was nothing special either - despite not being very crowded, it was incredibly loud in the restaurant, which made it hard to have a conversation. Here's the kicker, though. Despite noting on Resy that we were celebrating a birthday, no one working at the restaurant acknowledged it. I wasn't expecting them to roll out the red carpet, but a mention of the birthday would have been nice. We ended up spending close to $300 here for our night out, which compares to many fine dining restaurants in the NYC area where we live. This place, however, does not offer the same level of quality, service, or value. On top of it all, my credit card was declined, which was puzzling because it had never been declined before or since. Needless to say, something is off with this place and we will not be returning to Lucy's. read more

I love the burger and truffle fries, and the service is great. Be sure to let your server explain the drink menu - I had a fabulous purple cocktail! read more

Forgot one of our orders. Received it after everyone was 2/3s through their meal. Got 2 orders wrong. Said would not charge for wrong items because correct items were received after we had finished eating, on the bill he did charge for the items. The fish was of poor quality, as if it has been previously frozen. Then the waiter kept staring at us as though he wanted us to leave after we paid Bill, as though he wanted his table to get next people in. You would think for the price and the beautiful atmosphere, that with opening 5:00 reservations, that service would have been better. read more

Our family had dinner reservations for 6pm on a Saturday night. We were seated soon after we arrived. We were there to celebrate our daughter's 21st birthday. The ambiance was great. I would describe it as a relaxed and laid back feel. Our waiter was attentive and welcoming. We ordered the Charcuterie and Cheese and the Charred Oysters to share. We really liked the charcuterie board. The oysters were good however I think there was too much pimento cheese and it overpowered the oysters. Our family ordered the Steak Frites, Rigatoni with Lemon Leek Pesto, Sous-vide Allegiance Pork Loin, Chargrilled Poulet Rouge and the Wood Grilled Asparagus & Burrata! Everyone enjoyed their choices. My husband ordered the Cooper's Bitter'd Slinger and had no complaints. It took awhile for our main meals to arrive but it was extremely busy that night. Our waiter kept checking on us and apologized about the delay in our orders. We would go back again and would love to experience their brunch! read more

Service was excellent, he was very attentive . We went there because we say an article about their hamburger with an interesting sauce. The hamburger with fries was $22. Unfortunately, the sauce that was highly touted was flavorless. The hammer was way overcooked and also flavorless. For $22, it should have been al least good but this was a huge miss. Don't waste your money. read more

Not sure why Lucy's doesn't have at *least* four stars... My guess is that it's because the position sizes aren't disgustingly large? That's actually a reason I like Lucy's. I'd rather have a small plate of food done well, with a tight presentation, than a heaping serving of mediocre food that I'll take home and just toss out later. Lucy's is consistent which is another important thing. I can always rely on the chicken and waffles to be a great suggestion for people new to Lucy's brunch. And the lemon ricotta pancakes are always great to share as a sort of breakfast dessert. Also a burger might seem heavy for brunch but it's done just right here. Other must try items are the pimento cheese and quinoa salad. Pimento cheese may not seem like much, but the onion bacon jam on it is ridiculous. They give you like 4 toast points with it, but there's a quite a bit of cheese to bread, so if you ask for more, they've never said no (: The quinoa salad has some sort of champagne vinaigrette on it that is really well balanced in tartness and sweetness, and is perfect with quinoa and watercress. It's really the best you'll get around Auburn, that's not overly formal fine dining. After Acre, Lucy's is surely the best in Auburn. The atmosphere is also really bright and tastefully thought out, which does a lot to a meal. read more
