WOW! Apple Lucy's is a truly one of a kind place. Burgers, fries, sides, classic diner and PIE. And pie shakes! The food at Apple Lucy's is classic diner fare, the kids loved their meals which were all under $6 and included fries and a drink. Their burger were really good, and their ranch was homemade and excellent. We had a cheesecake shake with strawberries and oh. my. word. The deliciousness of this this shake cannot be overstated. It was so delicious we were sad we had to share, and eyed each other to see if there was any left. There was not. You must try their pies and also their pie shakes. The service is very friendly and fast, and the dining area is home-y. They also have outside seating for nice weather. The staff here was very kind to my family and accommodated the kids. I cannot say this enthusiastically enough- go to Apple Lucy's.

Nice quaint place in Parma. The staff was really friendly. Ordering is done at the counter and the menu is on chalkboards. They had a bacon cheeseburger with fries as a special. The squeeze and I split an order but got the mushrooms instead of fries. It was all good. The ice cream cones and shakes looked good, but we passed on them. Lucy's is a nice little hometown cafe, we'll be back.

You know the food's good when you forget to take a pic before digging in! Cheesecake, Walnut Pecan pie, and mixed berry pie shakes were incredible and the service was the BEST we've experienced in awhile! Very friendly and welcoming! We can't wait to go back and try more especially pies& pie shakes! A good amount of tables inside and outside to stay and eat there too.

But if you have a particular pie want, make sure you get there early and order it first otherwise they might run out. The sticks are amazing.i personally had the pecan pie it was perfect. Paula was the sweetest. Nice and cozy place, just like walking into a friends house. Next time I'm going to have to try a pie shake

In honor of Pi Day, I am going to tell you where to find the best pie in Southern Idaho. If you love pie as much as I and KM do, it's well worth the trip to Parma to visit Apple Lucy's. These photos are from our visit in April 2022. We got a piece of every slice of pie available on the menu, and the cheesecake. Apple Lucy's is also famous for their Pie Shakes. The day we visited, almost everyone who was coming in, ordered one. I first tried Apple Lucy's pie years ago when Michelle and Steve Davis sold their pies at the farmers market in Boise. But I only got to try their pie once, because they sold out fast. It was excellent! In 2007, the Davises opened Apple Lucy's Bakery & Diner. The name Apple Lucy's comes from their much beloved Golden Retriever named Lucy, who loved apples. In the 1950's, Michelle's grandmother Helen Anacabe owned The Duchess restaurant in Parma. The Davises pies are all based on Michelle's family recipes. That's why they add walnuts to their pecan pie, and peel their own apples for the Dutch Apple pie. The Dutch Apple pie is Michelle's aunt's recipe. The Davises try to source as much fruit as possible from local orchards. Apple Lucy's is too small for a commercial oven, so the Davises built one at their home, which is where they make all their pies. Most mornings, pie making starts at 6 AM. When we visited, a slice of pie was $3.90. Banana Cream pie and Cheesecake were $4.40 each. A slice of pie à la mode was $4.75. A whole pie was $15.95. The pies we tried were: Banana Cream, Marionberry, Dutch Apple, Walnut Pecan, and Cherry. We also tried their Cheesecake. There are lots of folks that can make a great pie filling, but in order for it to be a great pie, it must have a flaky pie crust. Apple Lucy's delivers on both counts. Every single piece of pie was so outstandingly delicious that I would have a hard time telling you which was my favorite, but I absolutely loved the Banana Cream pie, and the Marionberry was to die for. Normally, I'm not a big fan of Dutch Apple, but the Davises version was excellent! I think the best way to put it is that each pie flavor was the best version of that particular one that I've ever had. The classic New York style cheesecake was excellent too! If you want to buy an entire pie, call ahead to order one. The Davises only make a certain number of fresh pies each day. When they're gone, they're gone. I truly can't say enough good things about Apple Lucy's or the wonderful family who owns it. Parma is a bit of a drive, but given that it's the best pie in Southern Idaho, and quite possibly the entire state, it is worth it. Highly Recommended!!!
