Aunt Lucy's - 237 W Armitage Street

Stools line the long, curving counter of the diner where fried chicken or boiled beef, gravy, limp green beans, and mounds of mashed potatoes are slopped onto heavy white crockery. It’s the fast food of the epoch. Tables line one wall, but there is service only at the counter. Lunch, without pie, costs 35 cents. Open 5 A.M. to 6 P.M., Monday-Friday.
