Our Guestbook
“ Had the chicken fried steak that filled the plate. Was quite tender and lighly breaded with broccoli/rice casserole and black eyed peas. My sister enjoyed the double grilled pork chops, carrots and mashed potatoes. The pork chops were extremely tender and tasty. None of this broke the bank. ”
“ Just an excellent Texas diner. Great Migas and fresh corn tortillas. Friendly atmosphere. ”
“ Amazing place and very friendly service. It was my first time visiting Lucy's kitchen and I definitely want to go back again. Servers are such nice people and hard workers and welcoming Also the food is homemade and very good. ”
“ We Picked up three chicken fried steak dinners at Lucy's Monday evening. This is just plain good home cooking. The meat is not frozen, it's hand cut and breaded to order. All the vegetables are seasoned and made just like Grandma made them . And of course if you got room for pie, they're delicious and homemade. It's just one of the best places to eat in Elgin Texas. ”
“ What is good here is excellent. What is bad here is awful. But the good stuff is so good you want to play along with Lucy's. Eat here enough to find what you like and what you don't like . On your personal side of the menu, you will eat like royalty. * * * Lucy's is an old-style Texas cafe. That means pies. I did not have any of the pies, But they looked outstanding. The desserts themselves looked so overwhelming that I am probably coming back ... regardless of anything else I say in the review. * * * On the traditional Texas food - I had two all star incredible dishes - and two flunks that I did not finish. All Stars: Their Chicken and Dumplings (a weekly special). Served in massive quantity and better than any Chicken and Dumplings you have had elsewhere. Their Southern Green Beans. Served with industrial quantities of bacon and not quite as boiled to death as are traditional Southern Green Beans. Canned Green Beans have found their destiny. * * * Flunkos: The coffee. Undrinkable. Fried okra. Just not good. * * * Common Tendency: Just from my four dishes - it would appear that the more elaborate the dish, the better the final product. Both the chicken and dumplings and the green beans required substantial care and effort from the kitchen. Coffee and fried okra are toss-offs pretty much everywhere. So the survival guide here seems to be, Order the most elaborate dishes you can. That would put the pies way up on the priority list. Pies being high on the priority list is in harmony with all of nature. ”
