Always a Favorite! My husband and I have been coming to Lucy's on the Square for over 3 years now, and it's been consistently good every single time. This place truly feels like a hometown favorite with a cozy atmosphere and staff who are always kind, attentive, and welcoming. The burgers are pretty tasty, the patty melt sandwich, and chicken salad sandwich is perfection, and I'm a huge fan of their crispy tater tots and ranch! The quesadilla appetizer is also a winner, big enough to share or enjoy as a full meal. And don't sleep on dessert, the coconut cream pie is insanely good and clearly loved for a reason! Whether it's a relaxing weekend brunch or a casual dinner, Lucy's never lets us down. It's a solid, reliable go-to that always hits the spot.

Love this cafe and will always come back when in the area. Enjoy the atmosphere and delicious moon lattes. They always have great free newspapers and magazines about the latest updates and real estate news of Celina and surrounding. Staff is nice and friendly.

Lucy's is exactly what they say they are. They are a diner on the square. Quality diner food, a little pricey but expected with its location. My family and I have been a couple times now and the service and food are very consistent. Kind servers, quick service solid/quality food with the understanding it's diner food. Major chain comp would be Crackerbarrel. The ambiance is small town ranch/ farm house feel. From chicken to burgers the food is solid and homey. Only bad experience was the Cajun friend chicken that just had the season caked on. Once peeling off the pre mix caking that just dried out your mouth adding no flavor nor spice the chicken it self was fantastic. If your looking for dinner/small town feel food this a a good little stop for the entire family.

Lucy's is a cute diner located in the historical downtown square of Celina. I had lunch with a friend here on a Sunday. The had lovely live music playing that day. Thankfully, because we were a small party of 2, we were seated right away! I ordered the sausage breakfast croissant. The breakfast croissant was generously portioned! The sandwich was super delicious!

Lucy's is a casual, family oriented diner with great American food. This is a perfect spot for a family dinner or a casual lunch. The appetizers are all great, and the sandwiches and burgers are solid. The big country burger is absolutely massive and could easily feed two people. Definitely worth checking this place out on the square if you've never been.

First off, great atmosphere! Second, the food we got was delicious, hot, and ready. Third... loved the music selection! Ok for the not so great stuff: Service was exceptionally slow, (sorry gotta be honest) took 37 minutes to place our order. I think they may have been short staffed or unprepared for the crowd. Our server was very nice and courteous. Women's bathroom has water by the toilets on the floor and the faucet has a large amount of corrosion on it. No biggie, although you want people to be able to wash their hands with warm water for sanitation purposes. This one may sound petty... I get it, but it's worth mentioning if you have southern messy foods and delicious desserts. You've GOT to give people napkins. The small paper towel that barely covers the utensils is not enough. As busy as you are, getting extras to the table makes the servers run much more than needed. Overall, fantastic spot, will definitely come back. Give a lady a huge napkin and we will get appetizers and dessert!

Came here on a Sunday and it was very busy so we had to wait about 15min. No biggie though! I would rate the bathrooms an 7/10. They were clean, dimly lit (which I appreciate in a bathroom) and 2 stalls in the ladies bathroom. 2 stalls was enough for the size of the restaurant. TP and soap were stocked up. They even had a little funny sign about not flushing feminine products. I bet you could use the restroom if you weren't a paying customer because they wouldn't really know. Especially when people stand outside waiting to be seated. Chicken fried chicken with chorizo gravy was excellent! The chicken was freshly battered in house and still hot when it came to the table. The Mac n cheese and homestyle potatoes were not tasty so skip those. But the rolls were soft and delightful. My friend got the BLT and she always orders that so I know that is good here.

We took a day trip to Celina, Texas, desperately needing a little R&R. Our adventure led us to "Lucys on the Square." We were so lucky to find this lovely restaurant. It's located inside a tiny downtown area that supports the Celina Courthouse. It's so easy to park and walk. Bonus: There's a generous amount of handicap parking. If you love that quaint hometown feeling (you only see in movies) .. you'll find it here!! The restraunt was cozy, nostalgic, laid back, and full of Christmas spirit. It's a family owned business (my favorite!), and their vibe was comfort food, including homemade pies. Our waitress was friendly and attentive, which led to us eating wayyyy more than we should have, lol. We all ordered a variety of traditional breakfast items like eggs, hashbrowns, bacon, as well as biscuits with gravy. Fresh food, made to order, cooked perfectly - delicious!!! TIP: Well worth the trip if you live anywhere within driving distance. Just outside the door, we enjoyed taking pictures with a beautiful Christmas tree and holiday decorations provided by Celina. Families were gathered to enjoy this space, pets are welcomed, and kiosk interactive games are provided (free) for children. We will certainly go back. Meanwhile, I wanted to give them a well-deserved FIVE STAR review.
