So good! We got the ox tails and jerk chicken with rice and peas, sautéed cabbage and fried plantains.

Why 4 stars? Because I've waited a long time to try this place and really enjoyed it. --- --- --- I discovered Lucian's a while ago through a local top's on Yelp list and was excited to try it during a future visit to see family in the area. Unfortunately, I had to place a to-go order instead of dining in, but I ordered a bunch of different things in an effort to try as much of the menu as possible. The Oxtails were very solid. There was a place in Florida where the Oxtail was so amazing that it ruined all other Oxtail for me, but this was not a bad rendition. 4-stars. I also ordered the Curry Chicken, but didn't love it, to be honest. It was fine, but not something I'd need to order again. 3-stars. As for the sides: -Macaroni Pie: 5-stars. Some of the best mac-n-cheese I've ever had! -Fried Plaintains: 5-stars. While just about every fried plantain I've ever had tastes the same, I am never mad on a day where I eat fried plantains :) -Coco Bread: 5-stars. I don't know what's in this bread, but I loved it. LOVED it. Rice and Peas: 3.5-stars. This was fine. Standard side dish fare. While it wasn't my dish, my dad had the burger and raved about it. He's a simple man that doesn't try a lot of new things, and he rarely praises food in the way that he did this burger. Next time I visit, I will have to give it a shot. 5-stars from my Dad, TBD from me. I see why this place is beloved and look forward to visit #2!

I keep coming back for the jerk chicken and delicious sides. Been to the Caribbean before and this place brings that authentic taste and tone. The service is always friendly with the ambiance to match. I highly recommend this place.

Our dinner here was excellent. We were able to get a seat right away. I enjoyed the music and atmosphere. I had the jerk chicken, plantains and greens. The jerk chicken was not too spicy and a nice portion. It was cooked and seasoned perfectly. The greens weren’t your typical greens. They were very flavorful and had pieces of red pepper which gave it a nice taste. The plantains were so good! My husband had the grilled snapper. The snapper was plated beautifully and tasted excellent. The assortment of Caribbean juices was also really fun to try. The Sorrel juice was my favorite, an absolute must. I was impressed with how healthy everything was. The restaurant was also very clean. We will definitely be regulars here.

Absolutely delicious!!!! We enjoyed a huge veggie roti and curry shrimp. Fresh and flavorful. Service was unexpectedly quick. We also enjoyed talking with the friendly owner. They will soon be adding a coffee shop and full bar. Check them out! You won't be disappointed.

Went here on a Sunday after church with the familia. A friend had told us about this place and we decided to give it a try. I can't remember the last time I've had Caribbean food (if I ever have), so it was out of my normal culinary range. The experience turned out to be really good and I'm glad we all gave it a try! Our server was very helpful as she explained several food options to us and gave us a couple of recommendations. The atmosphere is casual and clean- there are some TVs, sports banners and a small stage at the back where it looks like they have some live music performances. The interior of the restaurant is actually more spacious than it looks from the outside, although the ceiling is kind of short so it doesn't feel like it's as 'spacious' as it could be. Parking lot is a little limited as it shares this space with some other establishments. The food was delicious! I'm not sure what my expectations were except for maybe jerk chicken, but the plates definitely exceeded them. I had the beef roti and we also ordered a chicken roti and some plantains. The rotis are HUGE - they are similar to a burrito wrap (made of Dahl poori) but have curried potatoes and your choice of filling - and they are tasty! The meats, potatoes and Dahl poori make a wonderful combination that isn't greasy, is savory and after a while is quite filling. There is a case to be made that a sauce might benefit chowing down on one of these, as it all can start to get dry with as much size as it packs; but that could be personal preference. The fried plantains were also very good - sweet, soft and a little savory, too. We loved their mint lemonades that they had on the menu - very refreshing. Overall, a great discovery, and we were rewarded for going out of our comfort zone. We will make time to come back here and try out some more of their lunch items.

Lucian’s is a great restaurant. It has a good vibe and it feels good inside. The beef patties were amazing. My family was very happy with all of their choices even the little ones said they chicken tenders were so good. I will definitely bring my family back and come back for a date night. I highly recommend you give Lucian’s a try.Kid-friendliness: I have three young kids and they liked the music. One kiddo spilled a drink and the waitress was very kind about it. They ate all of their food and said they would like to come back. The kid menu/coloring sheet was very nice and informative. We were able to talk about the Caribbean with them while we waited for food.
Great food great place.New waitress sucked but she will grasp the job.
