Meatloaf, collards and mashed potatoes.
Brian D.

First time eating here and it was great! My son said the steak and cheese aka Philly cheesesteak was one of h best he has ever had. I had the meatloaf collards and mashed potatoes. Different as far as meatloaf goes but very good in my opinion! We will be back!

Walked in and set at the bar. The restaurant is on the old town square right on the corner. This is a breakfast and lunch spot that is closed on Tuesdays. I ordered the Yellowhammer. Probably the most unhealthy item on the menu, but it looked so good I couldn't resist. A country fried steak topped with a white gravy served with home fries. Never had a country fried steak for breakfast but wow did it hit the spot. Great home fries with a perfect amount of cooked onions with it. I was impressed!

Catherine's is the place to go on Lake Martin. It's the closest local supermarket on Hwy 63 near…read morethe Kowaliga bride and Kowaliga Marina. We have been going here for probably 10 years whenever we go down to the lake. There are two parts to Catherine's: the market and the cafe. The market always has fresh vegetables, meat, fruit, etc. They also have a variety of wines. They have a decent amount of the necessities that you would need, but not a huge variety of choices because it's a smaller market. Be prepared because it is a little pricey. You're going to pay more here than you would say Publix for the same thing. The Cafe is wonderful. This is 90% the reason we go. Their bakery has a wide variety of muffins and sweet treats (the Heath cookie is awesome). I have eaten here hundreds of times for breakfast and lunch. Their breakfast is phenomenal. I usually get the French toast (my favorite) or one of the omelettes. For lunch I love the ranch bacon chicken panini or the chicken salad. We've dined at the cafe many times and have always been pleased. There is a nice patio outside if you want to eat there as well. The employees are always friendly and welcoming. Overall, I love Catherine's and appreciate the good service we always receive!

There's not a better place to grab a quick yummy sandwich for lunch. I haven't been there before…read moresince I'm from out of town but a local friend recommended for me to go there that day and wow it was yummy. But even more so than the perfect food flavor was the even more perfect servers. The vibe in there was so good and my server was super nice. Great place.

Truly an amazing mix of nature and food in this wonderful, picturesque spot out in Opelika/Auburn…read more A must visit every time we're in town with fresh food, great service, and wonderful greenery and lakefront views that make this more than just a restaurant. We came in for lunch service and had some time to enjoy the greenhouse and walk around the beautifully maintained property. Once our table was ready, we were promptly greeted by our server Noah who did an excellent job walking is through the food and drinks. He was a really nice guy and we had some great conversation with him. Our food came out fast and was absolutely delicious and fresh. We got the pimento cheese appetizer with fresh chips and it was a crowd pleaser, especially with the addition of Wickle's pickles (which we had to get a jar of at Publix before heading home). I had the smash burger and it went great with the beer I ordered as well. Very tender and the fries went along perfectly with it. My friends got the grilled cheese and also the chicken picatta and everything was so hot and fresh. A very cozy and heartwarming afternoon lunch on a beautiful day. To wrap up, we visited the outdoor chicken barn to hang with the chickens and other wildlife. A great place to be!

Good food, great atmosphere Went with the Service Dog and they take ADA accessibility quite seriously. I had a minor concern and called them and they handled the situation immediately

Lucy's literally never disappoints. We came from Columbus, GA and it's 100% worth the drive. We had…read moreMonica as our server this time around, and she's a fantastic server and with great energy! She made sure we were taken care of, was very clear and knowledgeable about the menu, gave incredible recommendations, and was also thoughtful in celebrating my boyfriend's promotion to Captain in the Army! The ambiance is really sweet. Whether you're here on a date, catching up with friends over a nice meal, in the mood to watch some sports, or celebrating a special occasion, this is your place! There's a sweet vibe going on with some music in the back, but it's not too loud where you can't hear your own conversations at the table. The food? Chef's kiss. They have a rotating menu, I think depending on the season/time of year, but they have some consistent all-year-round items on the menu. I first came here on Valentine's weekend with my boyfriend, and absolutely loved it. Couldn't stop thinking about their truffle parm fries, nor their milk and cookies- finger licking good. This time around, we got the Farmer's Daughter (which made my usually anti-veggie boyfriend absolutely love btw), half-dozen Gulf Coast oysters, and fall-off-the-bone lamb shanks. This is the kind of place you go to where you won't be able to find these dishes just anywhere. It's uniquely delicious, and I genuinely think you can't go wrong with what you choose! My boyfriend, a coffee connoisseur, also loves their French Press Coffee! Thank you Lucy's, for always such a great experience and for fantastic food.

Extremely noisy so bring ear plugs and forget about table conversations…read more Expensive and then they attach a 3% fee because their kitchen staff do not make a good salary. I will go elsewhere in the future as the value and cost ratio is not worth the visit.
