With two locations in Austin, on South Congress and Burnet, no one has an excuse for missing out on Lucy's Fried Chicken. Try fried gizzards and livers made using a secret buttermilk blend, fried chicken spaghetti, or a blackened catfish sandwich served on Texas toast with pimento and jalapeno jelly. Of course, you can never go wrong ordering a bucket of chicken at Lucy's and sharing it between the table. Regulars also tout Lucy's as one of their favorite spots to grab a plate of oysters, raw or smothered in buffalo sauce, garlic butter, or chili sauce, and wood-fire grilled. Attempt to save room for dessert, or consider taking a slice of their homemade pies home for later.

Lucy's has a relaxed, homey atmosphere and makes a great spot for a large, casual get together or more intimate gatherings. Lucy's is open 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. Mondays through Wednesdays and 11 a.m. to midnight Thursdays through Saturdays.
