Stopped in on our drive from Santa Fe, NM to Galveston, TX. Had a wonderful lunch, I had a BLT. Perfect bacon/lettuce/tomato ratio for me, wife loved the taco plate!! But most important was the staff and the customers were all smiley. What a nice comfortable place for lunch!! We will return!

Food was good. The space was clean. You have to order at the counter but they take very good care of you.

Great food, prices, and service. Simple diner food done well. It has a old school American feel. I had a chorizo, egg and cheese biscuit with home fries. This place feels like your favorite down home place.

We were looking for breakfast on our way to Mother Neff State Park. We stopped at Lucys Cafe. We definitely picked the right place! I ordered a western omelet. It was huge, came with hash browns and toast. My husband had sausage, gravy and biscuits and the biscuits were the size of bagels. Attentive service once seated. We will definitely be back.

Decided to stop at Lucy’s Cafe in Moody, TX because it looked so clean, neat & inviting from the outside. The inside matched our initial impressions. Wife & I both had western omelets with hash browns toast & jelly. Omelets were perfect, toast tasted like it was oven toasted & hash browns were tasty. Got to meet the new owners & their two children . They had purchased the restaurant from the husbands parents and had been operating it for only a month. Both husband and wife grew up in the local area but had to relocate from Abilene to operate the business. Hope they can at least match the parents record of operating the restaurant for 30 years. Do stop by when you’re near Moody.

Amazing family owned business! I love everyone there and I love their food! If you're stopping through, this should be the place you go to. It's small and a little out of the way of i-35 but you won't regret it.

The Mexican food here is the most authentic I have had in a long time. The food is extremely good and so is the service. I highly recommend this place. It's worth the drive to come eat here.

I really enjoy all the food served there, and one of my recent favorites is their Chicken Fajitas Salad. Absolutely delicious. I always recommend Lucy's Cafe when someone asks where is a good place to eat locally. Thanks to the staff of Lucy's!!

Great family run cafe with a Mexican flavor. Come for an early breakfast and meet the locals to catch up on all the latest news. Prices can't be beat for a good home cooked meal out.

My kids loved loved loved the French toast at Luces café. Great customer service, small-town, feel, we will go back again. Thank you!

This is a wonderful place to eat. We have stopped here when on our way to Abilene for years. The food is good no matter what you eat. I would, however, like for the nasty mouthed old men to keep their voices down so that I can not hear them.

Great place where the locals eat. Blue plate daily special plus a wonderful breakfast selection. A choice between Mexican and diner fare. Best and biggest biscuits ever.

We stumbled across this place and had a delicious breakfast! Pancakes were large and fluffy, hash browns were great, the eggs were good, and the bacon was crispy. On top of all that, the tea was perfectly sweet!

Great little diner! Nice folks and great food! It's one of those places where you are enjoying what you ordered while the whole time being jealous of what other people ordered! Everything looks delicious! I can't wait to go back and order something new!

This cute little cafe is on the main street through town, which is how we came to see it. Today we finally decided to give it a try. The pancakes were fluffy and hot and the hash browns were absolutely delicious! Would have preferred soft scrambled eggs, but they were still good...cooked done without being brown...yay!! The folks here are welcoming and friendly. We are glad we stopped in.

Very rarely do you encounter a place where they seem to have mastered both chicken fried steak and mexican food. All the food was fantastic. Sweet tea done right texas style. Loved it here and will be back for sure!!!

Updated 10/18/24 I have now eaten here several times. I have never been disappointed with the food or service. I, for one, wish it was more of a sit-down and be-waited-on place. If two people can stand behind the counter, I feel they could wait on tables. This is my personal preference, but the food is excellent.

The environment is a big “home feel” if you grew up in Texas. The food tasted fresh and flavorful. Love, love, LOVE !

Loved finding this hidden family gem of a restaurant. Cute atmosphere and loved the family photos. Wide range of options and we choose the barbacoa special. You could tell it was homemade, authentic and tasty. The owners were friendly, attentive and constantly cleaning. We will be back and highly recommend

I love the basic 2 eggs over medium with bacon, and I know I can get it cooked perfectly every time. Always pleasant fast service. I enjoy dining at Lucys!

Stopped in Moody for the 2024 solar eclipse and found this lovely little cafe. I enjoyed the hamburger steak special. It was a large portion, very good gravy too! It was fun to share the totality of the eclipse with the lovely ladies. Thank you for the experience, Lucy's Cafe! Love from Houston

The food that we ate was good, but the fact that French fries did not accompany the party melt sandwich was displeasing. I ordered the fajita plate; and the only disappointments there were the Lima beans in the rice, the limited number of tortillas and the finite portion of salsa. The plate size was generous with respect to chicken, and I enjoyed another full meal from the residual.

To expensive. Got 5eggs, 5bacon, 1hashbrown, 2pc. toast, 1biscuit and 2drinks. $20.00 well $19.68. Food was alright. It was my first time eating there. I will give it a try one more time. If too costly that will be the last. Plenty of seating and walking space. Clean facility. Employees seem pretty nice.

Hello, my family and I went here yesterday. When we first got here my husband explained we have never been here before. Then when asked what was the most popular menu item, proceeded to tell us the burgers… So my husband started to order… then there was an older lady who also came up to us while ordering she wasn’t having the best attitude for customer service, she came off rude. My husband repeated “sorry it’s our first time here, we live in temple”. I understand inconveniences that ruin your day but when you work in customer service there is a certain attitude you should give…. Minus that loved the homey feel and the way the restaurant was set up :)

I paid 29.82 cents for stuff worth about 12$ max . I got a weird wheat biscuit that fell apart with no taste or texture ,on a biscuit sandwich which was nasty along with the meat in it.i also ordered the biscuits and gravy and was hoping it was gonna be authentic and decent atleast that was my only hope . Well that was nasty as well worst biscuits ever with watered down gravy that has zero flavor . I was overcharged. My point is they need to put better effort in finding cooks who cares somehow this is crazy.

I had ordered fried pork chop special and she ordered cheese enchiladas chips was even burned up nothing absolutely nothing had any kind of flavor it's pretty awful... First time I ate there and I will never go back...

I ordered a chef salad. It was the sorriest salad I ever had in my life. I wish I could give Lucy's minus 5 stars

Their idea of a carne asada burrito consists of stew meat in a tortilla with no other toppings or seasonings. I can't even call the food mid because it did not make it that high.
