Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que

I've gone here for years. The beef ribs and biscuits with cinnamon butter are always my favorite. I admire the southern blues atmosphere and whenever they have a live band I recommend trying to attend. The staff is always pleasant and this is a great place if you want to take friends or family from out of town to a decent restaurant with a home town feel.

M’aitre d’ and wait staff friendly and happy. Ordered the two meat combo with southern braised greens (mustard greens) and coleslaw. Both sides were lovely and exactly what I wanted to compliment my meats. Bark and rub were evident seasoning the meats nicely. Enjoyed my meal will be back in the future. Giggled with server when she welcomed me back after asking if it was my first time at this Lucille’s branch, I asked the server if she remembers this restaurant being a stand alone premises in the what is now a parking garage? I think she may have been in Kindergarten….

I was looking forward for the bbq, unfortunately I wasnt very thrilled with what I got. It could've been what I ordered, but if im being honest most of it looked better then it tasted. Most dishes were bland, and the meat is just okay. Its also a bit pricey for the quality, the picture below ended up being a total of $75. It wasnt terrible but I personally wouldnt come back.

I came in this place with high expectations because it looked very eclectic and fun and had a 4.2 from over 2500 reviews on Google of course but don’t let it fool you. The ribs were OK matter fact even good but they don’t listen to instructions! I told them to cut three or four so that the rest would stay moist… They cut five ribs!! But that wasn’t a big deal… They were way spicy! Rereading the description on the menu. It said nothing about the ribs being spicy.

They have three types of sauces, one original two Memphis rub and three hot and spicy! Supposedly these ribs were not made with anything other than the original recipe.

When the waitress realized… Because of course I stopped her and told her they were hotter than expected. She warned me that the baked beans I had also chosen were made with red hot sausage! I tasted and at first thought, no problem then realize my mouth was on fire😩.

The manager and waitress Lisa tried very hard to accommodate me after that even giving me my appetizer for Free! Oh, I forgot to start there ….

After ordering my meal, I realize I was very hungry so the waitress helped me find an appetizer. But she never put the order in. Gentlemen brought me my ribs, and I was quite surprised when my eggs did not show up.

So after lengthy conversation, both manager and waitress, explained that everything they may care they use some sort of pepper spice!

BE CAREFUL, HOT SPICY FOOD!!!

Part two: I got the New Orleans beignets…. They were hot and tasty with melted chocolate to dip in, but the inside was rather chewy… Like looking at a layered donut that wasn’t fried enough. A little raw! Oh well. I really hope that dessert would bring my review up a little bit, but it hasn’t.

Hey, forgot to say one real positive thing… They give you a hot motorist hand towel after having ribs… That was a pleasure! And thank you

Well, one more edit here we go… There’s an extra $1. 99 charge when I asked the waitress she explained it was the up charge for a premium side, and that she had pointed it out to me… Here’s the big problem with this restaurant…
ITS TOO DARL IN HERE. CANT READ THE MENU with out your phone light. Frustrating.

Love the food ! Extremly large portions enough for left overs for 2 more people , great price . Now in the new Del Amo mall area

I ordered take-out a full rack of ribs.
It was the first time that I had ordered take out.
When I got home, the ribs were overcooked and dry. I was really disappointed. Won't ever order takeout again.
In the restaurant, the ribs were always delicious.
Side note: lucille's asked me for feedback. I told them the same thing that I said here. So far - no response.

Was ok. Beer was cold was brisket was dry.

Wow! Mustafa aka Michael is one of the best servers I have ever had. He was super friendly, always on top of everything, and truly a breath of fresh air. We came before many times and he is the best. Definitely ask to sit in his section!

The collard greens, classic burger, and ribs are always delicious here. Highly recommend coming here, specifically to have Mustafa as your server :)

Yesterday was my Niece's Birthday.!!! She had a great time. We all had a great time. Our server Moustafa , Almost like Mufasa ....... LOL. Was so entertaining & fun. Even his Manager bragged about him. Works on Sat & Sundays for sure. The Appetizers were good spinach dip and chips. Then the fam had the Nachos. My brother loved the brisket on the Nachos. (Definitely try it) when your a pescatarian i don't touch the stuff! Lol but the tray was emptied with 3 adults sharing it. A big portion. The Apple buter & biscuits amazing. I tried to eat 2 biscuits. Well it didn't happen, BUT I TRIED. Apple butter 🍏🍎🧈 🔥!!! For my Drink I had the Strawberry lemonade with alcohol in it. With sugar around the rim. It was sweet. I couldn't taste the alcohol but I could feel it! I also had the grilled salmon with sides & it was good I put some original BBQ sauce on it and it was even more tastier. I even got a Togo bottle. Look if you've never been here try it. Having a fun and playful server like Moustafa will make your experience even better.
