Food scene
Lucy's has old fashioned, home cooked food. In my opinion, they serve the best breakfast around. Service is great and they always greet you with a smile.

Loved the decor! Lots of Mardi Gras themed items on walls and ceiling. They even have a play area for the kids outside! This restaurant is pretty new to Celina and I have not eaten there yet. It looks like a really fun place to hang out with family and friends.

Absolutely fantastic Italian food!! On Thursday's bottled wine is half price. I would eat there every Thursday night if I could:). It's a wonderful place to celebrate special occasions. The ambience is perfect with a crooner singing Bing Crosby, Dean Martin, and Michael Buble songs on most evenings.

It's worth the 15 minute trip to Van Alstyne to eat Mexican food here. The only Margarita I have ever had that was better than La Cima's was at a place I love in Mexico! My favorite meal is their Baha Tacos. Although I have never had a meal there that wasn't very good. Take a few hours to visit the community of Van Alstyne and finish it off with dinner here. You won't be sorry.
