The restaurant shares space in the building with a package shipping store and they have signs allocating parking for each business. The restaurant does have parking adjacent to the building in front as well as additional parking around the side. There was no specific handicapped space but there is a ramp in the front to the entrance door. Be aware the front door is for entering and the side door for exit only. If you park on the side you will need to walk around to the front to enter. The cashier is on the side near the exit door so the flow through the restaurant is pretty controlled. Also, there is a step down as you exit from the side door so be aware. There is a small waiting area as you walk in. We were greeted as soon as we entered and only waited a couple minutes for a table. All seating is tables and they are spaced well so you do not feel crowded. While the menu is typical for a diner, they also have daily specials written on chalkboards in a couple places around the walls. One interesting thing to note is the menu included not only the "regular" price, but also the discounted cash price. We placed out drink order and then a few minutes later placed the food order. The food did take about 25 minutes to arrive but the coffee never stopped flowing while we were waiting, and the background noise was low so conversation was easy. Even though the dining area was full our servers were very attentive. The eggs, sausage, and biscuits and gravy were exceptional. The eggs were cooked as ordered, the hand-patted sausage was fresh and had a nice crispy outside without being dry inside. The biscuits are homemade and the sausage gravy had noticeable sausage chunks. I did add pepper, but that is a personal preference. The western omelet had all the ingredients folded into the cooked eggs. The ingredients all had a slight char from the grill which really elevated the flavor. The hash browns were typical, nothing special but cooked perfectly. The biscuit holds up to butter and jelly very well. This was an outstanding breakfast. The servers are efficient, the food is wonderful, and the overall experience was refreshing. This is a must stop whenever you are in the area.

She said it was one of the best breakfast places she ever found so I was all about giving it a go myself. I had the huevos rancheros with cup of coffee. For a side I got fried potatoes. Nice place in downtown Sylva. Street parking right in front and available sat immediately upon arrival. Didn't have to wait long for food to come either. I enjoyed my meal and my wife got a biscuit and gravy and shared it with me and it was awesome as well. Lucy's is my new breakfast spot when visiting WCU.

They also offer pet-friendly outdoor seating, which is a great option if you're dining with your furry friend. Our waitress, Mackenzie, was fantastic! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything came out quickly. The service was excellent from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious. We had the Grit Bowl Special, Chicken & Waffles, Brioche French Toast, and fresh fruit. The chicken tasted just like my grandma's recipe. It was crispy, flavorful, and paired perfectly with their spicy hot honey. Everything was fresh and cooked perfectly. The coffee bar was another highlight! They offer so many specialty drink options, including hot chocolate topped with homemade whipped cream. And don't skip the fresh-squeezed orange juice, it was some of the best we've ever had! What really made this place stand out for our family was how kid-friendly it is. The kids got to draw pictures while we ate, and afterward they were able to hang their artwork in the hallway for everyone to see. They absolutely loved it! There's also a large lounge area in the back with cozy seating and games like Shut the Box and chess, making it a great place to relax while waiting for a table or after your meal. If you're looking for a delicious breakfast, outstanding service, and a family-friendly atmosphere, Lucy in the Rye is definitely worth a visit. We'll absolutely be back, and I highly recommend it!
