Best chicken salad in town! Also, the best service in town. If you are not a local, go here....Jennifer and Dawn will treat you like your a local. They will take care of you and be a friendly face in a town that is unfamiliar. Love this place so much! The hot lunches are amazing! Check out their taco Tuesday. The taco salad is so good! All of the sweets and dips are great too! Not to mention they have an awesome open house during Christmas time! They go all out!

After a very long day in the car we came across 2 ladies enjoying some down time at a table out front of their bakery. We were looking for a dinner spot and they offered a suggestion which was very helpful. But before we left we made a quick trip inside for dessert. Opted for pecan pie squares that were delicious. Quaint and welcoming shop. And after baking all week for Easter they couldn’t have been more accommodating—it was after 5:00 and we appreciated them being so hospitable. Thank you ladies!

Step back in time and enjoy great traditional Southern food! All the sweet treats and goodies you could ever dream of! To-go meals in the cooler, along with many dips and kinds of pasta, 3 different types of chicken salad, pot pies, and too much to list! Oh! They also have local pepper jellies that go great on their pimento cheese!

I stumbled across Lucy's several years ago when I was shopping in the area. We live a slight drive away so I don't get down there too often. However, every time I go, my mother melts for the chicken salad! I give them to her on mini toasted everything bagels (store bought) and they are a household favorite! We just had my mom's 85th birthday party and I contacted a very local baker with great reviews. I needed food for over a period of 3 days with lots of variety. The local baker took my reseveration for the date and asked me to provide details of what we needed. After I provided all that, they told me they accepted another event that had called in after I had my date but before I had responded with my exact order (literally, a matter of several hours!). They then canceled my reservation. But... LUCY SAVED THE DAY!! :) I drove down to Manning and met with her to discuss what we would need. She was able to offer suggestions on "fan favorites," she knew exactly how much we would need for the number of guests. She was also very patient as I changed my mind on a few things. I kept ordering more becuase, well, baked goods - why not?! We had an extensive assortment of items and all of them received rave reviews! We ordered muffins, bars, cookies & cupcakes! Definitely try the banana pudding cupcakes!! We will be making a lot more trips to Manning in the future. Thank you, Lucy, for all your help!!

Visited for lunch with my coworker while taking a stroll downtown. We ordered the daily lunch specials and everything was delicious. We enjoyed it so much, we returned early the next morning for some baked goods. Everything is reasonably priced. This is definitely become one of my favorite go to spots in Manning.
