Lucy Anne’s brings family, heart and elevated comfort food to downtown Spartanburg

​​​​​​​Downtown Spartanburg’s dining scene has welcomed an exciting new addition with the opening of Lucy Anne’s, a restaurant that blends Southern comfort, Italian influence and heartfelt family tradition into an experience that feels both familiar and refined. Located inside the historic Citizens and Southern Bank building at 148 W. Main St., Lucy Anne’s is the long-awaited brick-and-mortar home for Chef Michael, whose culinary journey began years ago with pop-up dinners, brewery events and catered gatherings across the Upstate. After building a loyal following, opening a permanent restaurant in Spartanburg felt like the natural next step. “I was inspired to open here in Spartanburg because we need more restaurants,” Chef Michael said. “It’s currently my hometown for the past four, almost five years, and starting something in my own community just made sense.” While the food is certainly a draw, the story behind the restaurant’s name is perhaps its most meaningful feature.
