    Salmon picatta
    Jillian B.

    Delicious as usual! Our salmon was cooked perfectly! & of course we had Great service from Kim!

    Spaghetti marinara
    Jonnita W.

    New spot for us with stepping out to this location. Walked by it many of times over the. Last 2 years. Glad that we did as it was a good way to enjoy our last meal for the day. We were told that we could seat ourselves at any available table. Right away we realized the the bar it adjoined to the restaurant with a small entry way. We did not visit that area during our visit but we are aware for future visits. During this time it seemed as though the two hostesses that were working, split the areas. It helped where needed. Once we placed our food and beverage orders, it wasn't long after that we were presented with everything. All was enjoyable, not over cooked or over salted or bland. Was enjoyed. Even their freshly made generous portions of dessert. With all pictured for two people the bill was around $80. They are in a good spot of town, as you can take a little stroll by the water after your meal if weather permits.

    Sample of alfredo sauce and cost
    Wayne L.

    Ordered a fettuccine alfredo for pick-up and this was what I got. It was $18 and I was surprised when the box wasn't even half full and keep in mind that this didn't even include protein which is an extra cost. Of course I can make it myself at home at a lower cost but I expected at least the container to be full. This case would be shame on me and now I learned my lesson however I saw some of my colleagues chose some of their other items on the menu and it looked like a better value so I would give Lucy's another try. Nothing special about this order and I'm not sure if the noodles and sauce were made in the restaurant (didn't taste like it), but I'm still interested in some other items on their menu

    Delicious, great service! Will be back! Great ambience and extensive menu... Onion rings were exceptional!

    Biscuits and Gravy Baby!!!! Soooo good, biscuits homemade and soft and warm with a great gravy that isn't too salty!

    Service was great! The ladies (Lisette & Wendy) took care of us for an impromptu Mother-Daughter Breakfast! Breakfast is only Friday-Sunday, so don't miss out!

    My wife took me to Lucy's for my birthday. We were greeted right away but it was not busy, a week night. Reviews indicated the waiter was rude. We did not find that at all. Food was very good. I had Chicken Parmesan and my wife had fish and chips. No dessert as my wife baked a nice cake. We will be back.

    Breakfast menu.

    The breakfast was generously portioned and prepared how I asked for it. The chairs are cushy and comfortable. Wait staff was helpful and friendly.

    This is the bartender heather!

We came in starving and picked it based on reviews and it absolutely lived up to the hype. Walking in, it's a small hole-in-the-wall with a ton of character. There's a lot to look at plants, sauces, mustards, desserts, and pastries it just feels like a place that cares about what they're doing. The staff were also incredibly friendly. They offer a build-your-own menu, plus a list of favorites on the back. I went with "The Bobby" (no tomatoes), and it was outstanding. Easily one of the best sandwiches I've had something I'd go back for regularly without hesitation. My dad has Celiac disease, so he ordered gluten-free. Anyone familiar with gluten-free bread knows it can sometimes fall apart, but that's not on this place and more importantly, he couldn't stop talking about how good his sandwich was. That says a lot. This place absolutely deserves five stars. Great people, great atmosphere, and seriously good sandwiches. We'll definitely be back.

That's how I ended up here. Not sure where I originally heard of it, but it was pinned and so I went. Tasty, tasty sandwiches. The meat was high quality and the GF/keto bread acted and tasted like regular bread. I ordered whatever GF special they had listed and really enjoyed it. Looks like they had some pasta salads and desserts I would have loved to tried. Called ahead so pick up was quick and easy. $18 for a smaller sandwich kind of hurt, but the side quest joy made it worth it. From what I saw, no seating, just a counter for pick up. Enjoy!

Yesterday was a different thing, though. It was cold outside, so we decided to eat in the dining room. It took FIFTY MINUTES to get our food. The time stamp on my receipt said 6:30pm. At 7:00pm, I went to check on our order and she said it was coming up, but then started to hand me someone else's order. When I told her what we'd ordered, she looked at the order wheel and said, "Oh, yours is next." Then it took another 20 minutes to make two burgers, a side of fries, and a side of onion rings. That's just too long, especially since the dining room was freezing cold, too. We asked if the heat could be bumped up, but she said something like, "Sorry, but they lock it so we can't adjust it." The burgers were good, but it was just too damned cold. We will be back, but not until the weather warms up. Maybe in April or May.

    If you've ever driven through Rio Vista, you've probably heard of Foster's Bighorn (and if you…read morehaven't stopped in yet, you should.) Foster's Bighorn is a local peeps restaurant and bar. It houses a private collection of over 300 big game specimens from Africa and North America, making it a great place to see what big game hunting looked like in the 1930s. The moment you walk in, you're surrounded by world-class trophies covering the walls near the ceiling. It's unlike any other dining atmosphere around in the east bay. For me, this place is pure nostalgia. My dad used to bring me here once a year when he had business in Rio Vista. I remember being completely fascinated by all the trophies mounted on the walls. Large game hunting wasn't something my family participated in, but growing up in a farming family, animals raised for food were a normal part of life. Even so, the quality and quantity of the collection always left me in awe. Going back as an adult, I can say that feeling hasn't changed. The collection is still impressive. This visit, we kept it simple with drinks and appetizers. My friend ordered a margarita on the rocks, and I had a pale ale. Both were delicious and reasonably priced. The bar itself is a classic 65-foot bar that feels like it belongs in another era. For food, I had the Caesar salad, and we split the ten-inch pepperoni pizza. The pizza featured roni cups and felt like a solid, classic appetizer-style pizza . The side Caesar salad was a great portion with crisp lettuce, shaved Parmigiana, and crunchy croutons, simple and tasty. Foster's Bighorn offers a Chop House style menu for lunch and dinner, making it a great spot for a quick bite or a full sit down dinner. I'd absolutely go back: first for the nostalgia, second for the drinks, and third for the food. It's a one-of-a-kind place that feels like stepping into history while enjoying a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Compared to our last visit, the new-ish owner had brightened up the entire place, now with more emphasis on the restaurant, but still with it's huge bar. We probably didn't need a reservation, but we were greeted by the name on the reservation, probably because we looked like we were the only ones who would bother to make a reservation for three. Chicken marsala, fish and chips and lamb chops were all excellent, as was our server. The owner came by our table to check on our experience and confirmed that he had initiated the changes that we had noticed, as well as some that we hadn't. If you like seeing the animal trophies from a bygone era, this is a great place to have a drink or a meal.
