OUR STORY

Lucy's, a modern American eatery, opened its doors in Auburn, Alabama, in June 2018. Born from Lisa Van der Reijden's vision to add a fresh voice to the local culinary scene, the restaurant began as a partnership with Austin Singleton and is now fully owned and operated by Lisa, with Executive Chef Brian Paolina leading the kitchen alongside a dedicated team passionate about providing intentional, gracious hospitality.

Our ever-evolving menu highlights shared plates featuring fresh seafood, locally farmed produce, and high-quality meats, sourced through celebrated partnerships with nearby farms and vendors.

Light, airy, and California-inspired, with a slight nod to a Parisian bistro—Lucy’s creates a welcoming, contemporary vibe that feels like home, complete with warm, caring service and an award-winning beverage program of craft cocktails and a standout wine list curated by Master Sommelier Emmanuel Kemiji.

Lucy’s is named for the childhood nickname Lisa's late father, Harry, gave her—a heartfelt tribute that echoes our commitment to fostering deep and meaningful connections with our guests and community in the heart of Auburn.
