In particular Carter at HOB and Will at Gardenwalk assisted me with wheelchairs and everything else. Great ADA seating at the Parish, too.

“If you don't mind paying a premium for Southern-style BBQ from a restaurant chain, Lucille's is a fun and satisfying destination.

The Locale:
Located right off the 57 Freeway on Imperial Highway, this Lucille's is clean with an enjoyable aesthetic. It's made to look like a mid-20th century smokehouse.

The Service:
The entire wait staff is friendly and competent, but our server, Erika, was exceptional. She made excellent recommendations, was quick to respond, and brought what we needed even before we asked for it. I can't compliment her enough.

The Food:
My dad and I shared the Feast for Two package in which you pick an appetizer, entree, and dessert from a set menu. We chose fried onion strings for the starter, pork belly, sausage, and baby back ribs for the main course, and chocolate cake for the dessert.

The fried onions were good but were so intertwined like Velcro that it was hard not to spill some eveytime we tried to pull a few strings off the plate. The pork belly was moist with a nice layer of fat (that's a good thing with this choice!). The baby back ribs were solid. And the sausage was genuinely spicy and juicy.

Oddly enough the chocolate cake was too sweet and not dense or moist at all; it fell apart every time I tried to cut a piece off.

My wife orders the country fried steak, which was yummy. Her veggie sides were just average though.

The Price:
This is where it hurts. The price of everything on the menu has seen to gone up since the last time I visited. Including tip and taxes, our meal for 3 people came out to be more than $100. This means fewer visits for us overall per year. Bad for us, bad for their business.

The Conclusion:
Lucille's offers a fun vibe and mostly delicious Southern-style food. But a few average dishes and the steep prices make Lucille's a place I would only go to for special occasions.“
