Visited on 1/18/26 Saturday evening at the Temecula location. Our last visit was to the Victoria Gardens location many years ago. Food was excellent! Service was excellent! Atmosphere was excellent! Wide selection of BBQ choices! Did not disappoint! Visit soon! We will be back!

The food was very good. I had not been to Lucille's in a while. My server was great. She informed me about all the specials on the menu. She was warm and friendly. I had the brisket bowl and it was great.

Really impressed. I was a little hesitant ordering online, especially when it automatically directed me to postmates because the transfer from Google to Postmates was kind of choppy. But, I waited a short while as I was sitting in the parking lot. The time it told me it would be ready was a 25 minute wait time but it was a nice day so I decided to sit at the take out area. I checked in and my order was already done. I love when that happens. The food was hot and whoever packaged it did it perfectly. Nothing missing. Seems simple but you'd be surprised how many times littler things are missing and that really puts a damper on everything else. So I was also happy to see that everything I needed was there. It also tasted great. The pork was tender and juicy with a nicely butter fried bun. It had plenty of meat as well. I opted for the side of beans and they had this nice smooth flavor with a touch of sweetness. Yum. So good

St. Louis ribs were great along with the sweet potato fries. Heather was an excellent server. She answered our questions in a friendly manner and made suggestions as well. I'm not a dessert person but Heather convinced me to try the Banana Pudding. It was delicious!

This was my first time coming here and I loved it, the food was great, I got the bbq pulled pork which was excellent and my husband got the ribs which fell off the bone. Our server was very nice and attentive, we were seated almost right away for it being a Saturday night.

My Absolute Favorite BBQ Chain. This one has a weird 60's or 70's vibe verses the other more traditional southern looking ones, but has the same great food!

Went here for the first time and was not disappointed because our server Senen was the absolute best. 100/10 will be coming again because of them, thank you!!

The BBQ is great and the portions are huge. Though, I am a bigger fan of our servers who helped heighten the pleasure of eating here. Deborah helped us figure out our drinks and surprised us with mixed drinks that she was confident our party would like. Lennard was attentive and extremely patient as he helped with suggestions for our orders. Their expertise in knowing their menu throroughly and what the restaurant had to offer helped make us feel confident in our selection and boosted our ability to enjoy what was ordered. Truly, the food is well worth going but having these two for our table was icing on the cake. I highly recommend seeking out their section should a craving for Lucille's find you standing in front of their hostess desk.

Last week was our first time eating here and I’ll definitely be coming back very soon . Our waiter was such a kind gentleman with a huge heart , he made our visit there so worth the while . The food was DELICIOUS, and my son got a complimentary dessert for graduating it was just a nice way to end our evening !

Another great trip to Lucille's bbq with a quick detour to Costco to cash in on a special on Lucille's bbq gift cards. $100.00 of gift cards for $69.99. Then on to Lucille's for two three meat combo's!! Just delicious!!!

We've been here twice and loved it both times. Their food is delicious from their buiscuits, to their bbq, and their drinks. Totally worth the price for a dinner the whole family will enjoy.

We ate here for our first time while vacationing from NC. Our family lives out here and absolutely loves this place! It took a little bit to get sat down on Sunday evening, but it was well worth it. The portions were huge and the food was delicious! Our waiter was super attentive and was constantly checking our table. Parking at the mall can get a little tenuous, but it’s a great place to eat for country style cooking!

A company that my company works with brought lunch to us at work today. I've been to Lucille's many times in the past years. Always good service, great environment, good vibes and of course the food is absolutely delicious. There's a reason why they've been around in Temecula for a very long time. Keep up the good work and the great service and of course the great food!

The best BBQ place ever. Beats Phils by a mile long. The meat is smoked perfect and a much of a variety of sides. Came with my sister and brother in law, it was my first time and boy was my brother in law right! F.Y Phills BBQ. The appetizers are really good. Sharon is the best waitress♥️♥️♥️

Lucilles is always a great experience. Our waiter was attentive and kept up with drink refills. The food is extremely high quality (their brisket is my goto). It can be very affordable ($$$) if you utilize their combos. There tea is delish. Don't even get me started on their bread 🤯

Come on!!!!!! Another Awesome Hit Here!! Their customer service was top notch. (Thanks Salavdor for being fun and for being very Attentive) Especially in light of the recent reopening due to the COVID restrictions. The food was excellent and on par. Very clean inside and located right in the heart of great shopping and entertainment. Come on Down you won't be dissapointed. Cheers and GOD BLESS!!

Came in for a 30th birthday celebration for our twin daughters. We had an amazing waiter that set the atmosphere for an Enjoyable celebration. We had a party of 4 and we all took food home . It was definitely worth the price. The BBQ was fresh and tender and the sides were yummy.

I didnt like my dish, the jambalaya, but absolutely give them 5 stars! First of taste can be subjective and I could tell the quality of it was good but not my taste. What completely impressed and one me over if waiter noticed I wasn't really eating it. Explained didn't really like the taste but that was ok it was what I ordered and was no fault of the kitchen, he practically insisted on making me something different. Changed the order to a 2 meat bbq with brisket and pulled pork which was perfectly done and amazing tasting. I highly recommend and will absolutely return.

We went here to celebrate our Anniversary, and it didnt disappoint! We ordered an assortment of happy hour starters. We had PILES of food covering our table and couldnt come close to finishing it all. Good food, drinks, and fantastic service. Our server was Briana and she is fantastic!!! She was patient with our many questions, and had answers for all! Thanks for making our celebration dinner so fun!

I got there around 4p after work on a Friday. Once I checked in the wait was only 15min for party of two. Once I got seated the server acknowledged me and told me he would help me in a sec. Once he came, I ordered me a Dr. Pepper. I looked over the menu while waiting for my friend. I ordered a Chimichurri Top Sirloin with Loaded Mashed Potato and Veggies. The server was very attentive and friendly. I noticed he was fast and just taking care of all his tables. He also took his lunch and introduced us to a server who was going cover in the meantime. I rarely get sirloins at restaurants, but today I did and I was very pleased that it was good very well like I asked. I liked that the chimichurri sauce was on the side. I had the server bring me steak sauce similar to A1 sauce and I also had two of the other table sauces. Overall the experience went well from the start to finish. Thanks to both servers that helped us, next time I'll write the names so they can be recognized for their hard work.

I had the wonderful pleasure of finally going to Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ today. As someone NOT born and raised in Cali, it was AMAZING to eat good BBQ like we have in the Midwest. Delicious sweet tea!! My server Sharon was so awesome too. A VERY KIND human being!! She is so much fun and lovely to boot! Ask for Sharon or Michelle if you want hospitality!! ❤

Lucille’s is known for its delicious authentic BBQ. From the moment you walk up and the smoke from the pits hit your senses till the moment you waddle away, this is a great BBQ experience. Sit down and enjoy some delicious biscuits and butter while you peruse the vast choices on the menu. From shredded pork to the beef brisket, you can’t go wrong trying new things. If you love authentic BBQ, then this is your Temecula BBQ jam spot!

I had the 2 item combo. Baby back ribs and the brisket. Both of these were excellent. We had an awesome waitress super friendly and she did an awesome job. Only complaint was the biscuits were hard. Atmosphere looked a little outdated. Overall a good experience.

Decided to give this place another try from my last experience. I am glad I did! Everything was yummy for my date night with my husband. Our waitress Jenn provided impeccable service and was very knowledgeable about the menu items. I can be very indecisive and she was very patient and helpful. Give her a raise! I will definitely be coming back to this restaurant.

Absolutely fantastic and memorable dining experience. Thank you for having staff that is exceedingly friendly professional and on top of it. We decided to spend our Valentine's lunch at Lucille's Smokehouse with some anticipation with the wait. The staff handled it greatly. Anthony is by far the most exceptional server and turned our day into an absolute pleasant one.

We had a rough experience the previous time we went. Decided to try it again and it was a complete 180 from our experience before. My faith in BBQ has been restored! The Tuesday Feast for 2 deal is unbeatable for the price and how much food you get! My wife and I loved it! 👍🏻

Went on a Tuesday and got the 2 for $50 meal. Excellent value and portions. Meats and sides were perfect. Didn't get to try all the sauces but the ones we had were very good. The server we had (Jacob)was on point and did a fantastic job. Definitely will go back

Our visit was absolutely amazing! The food came out hot and every bite was bursting with flavor – and we’re from the South, so that says a lot about the quality of their BBQ. After indulging in plate after plate of delicious barbecue, the thoughtful touch of warm, damp hand towels to clean up afterwards was the perfect finish to an already wonderful meal. A special shout-out to Jade, our server, who made the entire experience even better with friendly and attentive service. From start to finish, we loved every minute of our visit and will definitely be back! Highlights: Hot, flavorful BBQ that lived up to Southern standards Warm damp hand towels for a personal touch Outstanding service from Jade Highly recommend this spot for anyone who loves great BBQ and great hospitality!

We went to Lucille's for my Husband's birthday. We love the co.plimentary biscuits and soft butter. My Husband ordered the beef ribs with loaded mashed potatoes & grilled delicious. My son ordered the tri tip abd pork ribs with 2 side. I ordered the pulled pork sandwich with a side of coleslawSorry, no photo I inhaled it.lol! Our server was very attentive and he also brought a slice of brownie with sprinkes ala mode with a candle which is very nice for the birthday boy. We had a wonderful experience during our visit. Place is nice & clean. Friendly staff. They also provide plastic for your umbrella if it's raining. Little things like that adds to customer service. They also have a bunch of lollipops for you to help yourself.

Always looking for good BBQ, was happy to find it here. The waitress was very friendly and accommodating, I'm disabled and another person in our group was too. We accidentally spilled a drink, the waitress was very nice about it, replaced the drink, and brought us straws after the spill. I always go for the classics, got a pulled pork sandwich with some coleslaw, cornbread (they serve it with apple butter, which is a nice change from the usual honey butter found at BBQ spots), and of course, baked beans. I ordered dessert at the same time as my lunch entree, I wanted to make sure I could enjoy some of the banana pudding before I was too full. Everything was delicious, and I took home leftovers that gave me another couple meals at home! The prices were shockingly low, made sure to tip our waitress very well for being so friendly and helping after the accidental spill. I think this restaurant would really be a good lunch choice for anyone, you could walk in alone or show up in a group of ten, they'll take care of you!

I love Lucille's! I don't have one close by so when I'm near one - I MUST stop in for BBQ. Everything is amazing! The drink selections are fantastic - I ordered something with Tiki in the name and it was so delicious. The portions are BEYOND generous. There is no way you leave this place hungry! We started with the complimentary biscuits which as you can see, I was almost too slow with my photo - only one left! I split a large platter with my teen daughter - this allowed us to share multiple sides and meat. Somehow, some people in my family had room for dessert, but I was so full. I'm not sure how I waddled out! So good! Service was fantastic - our server talked us through the menu (some in our party were new to Lucille's) and definitely gave great recommendations!

My feedback is not based on the food. It is based on how SUPER awesome Orlando as a Manager. He’s Great listener, very understanding and willing to go above & beyond to meet your expectations to ensure you are happy with the food and the service. I don’t normally leave a review but I feel it’s worth leaving because Orlando deserves HUGE a recognition. Update! 15Oct2025 I went back a week after trying their Nashville Hot Fried Chicken. it was like love at first sight that I had it to get it again. Sadly I was disappointed! fries and sandwich tasted good but it’s not prepared the same way. I understand it has coleslaw but it looks like it’s someone else’s cancelled order but ended up giving it to me coz not only the fries is very little, the sandwich is drench in liquid sauce. Lesson learned, just dine in instead. I do need to give credit to General Manager, he doesn’t judge and always professional.

The biscuits with apple butter are delish. We tried a variety of things , everything else was delish too. The Watermelon Margaritas were perfect 👍refreshing, not too strong

Easy parking, clean restaurant, kind server, good food, cheap beers. We came for lunch and took advantage of their lunch deal- my husband got the three meat meal, his choices being the bbq chicken, the St. Louis ribs, and the brisket (the server said these were the most popular). The chicken was actually the favorite! I chose the hot chicken sandwich and it was really delicious! Not too spicy. The potato salad and mashed potatoes were as expected- I preferred the potato salad. The meal started with biscuits, which had a sugary topping (not my favorite) and a sweet butter. The hot chicken sandwich was the favorite item of the day! Lucilles is a solid spot for a bbq meal.

This Restaurant went above and beyond for us. My pregnant wife ordered a steak, it came back a bit more red than we're healthily comfortable with, they promptly made us a fresh one cooked perfectly well done and to top it all off comped us for the steak meal. I paid extra for a tip because that was the best service I could possibly imagine. 100% coming back. PS. Their free biscuit appetizer is god-tier

I am having a hard time deciding on whether the food deserves 5 stars. The 3 course meal for 2 was our choice. Started with fried onions which was superb! We picked the bbq chicken which was nice and moist with good flavor, not too smokey, the baby back ribs were good and flavorful too but the brisket was a bit of a let down. It was dry, not a whole lot of flavor and almost made me want to cry coz I expected better from a well known establishment. The 2 sides we chose were the mashed potato and seasonal veggies. Both were very good. The dessert was generous portion of chocolate cake but it is too sweet for my liking. Hubby loved it. I'd still go back again but not for the brisket. Joshua our server was attentive and pleasant.

*Excellent* ribs with wonderfully smokey, slow-cooked goodness and a tasty, caramelized slathering of sauce - both beef ribs and St. Louis Style pork ribs were equally impressive. The fresh-baked biscuits were extraordinary and well worth the long wait to get them, arriving just in time for dessert. Dinning room decor is a sectional collection of independent styles, all with a 70's(?) sort of flair (which creates a somewhat confusing vibe) - but the continuous flow of hearty Blues music and the savory ribs will handily dispatch any of those concerns. The workforce during a summer Saturday lunch was under-staffed and struggled to keep up, even at half capacity, but the service when it came was good nonetheless (cheerful and professional). Apart from the idiosyncrasies, if the rest of their food is as good as the ribs then mine was the first of many trips to come. Prices might seem at first a little high compared to other offerings, but the portions are substantial and the quality is high as well - a fair trade. In a single thought: memorable ribs that are definitely worth the stop.

Food was great and that’s coming from a native Texan who loves BBQ. Had the pulled pork sandwich. The food was excellent and so was the service. Only complaint is this is the prices are a little high in my opinion. Regardless, would love to go back and try the rest of the menu.

Following a little wine tasting in Temecula, with our good friends, we headed over to Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ, in the Promenade, Temecula. First off, we had a problem parking close-by, as there's a massive parking lot, out front, & it's usually pretty packed on the weekends. Since it was Monday of Memorial Day Weekend, it was even more off the hook! Because of severe pain in my right hip, my buddy dropped me off right in front, then went & parked his car in the Lower 40. Even though this restaurant was busy inside, the host seated me right away. My wife & friends joined me at the table, a deep booth, capable of seating 6. Right off the bat, I noticed the tile floor beneath our table was extremely greasy & slippery. I asked someone up front, if they could send someone to clean the floor, because all of us were worried we'd slip, upon exiting the booth. A young woman came over & "foot-mopped," the tile, but it was still a bit greasy after that. Rough Start. Another thing I'm not crazy about here, is the Main Dining Room, where we were seated, is a wide open dining hall, so you feel like you're in a giant fishbowl, & noise levels are always high, when it's busy, like today. Our server was tremendous, all night! She quickly grabbed us drinks-Iced Teas & water glasses, plus a basket of their delicious sugar biscuits & apple-cinnamon butter. When we polished those off, she brought us more! We had a $50 Gift Card to use, so we went all out, each couple splitting 3 Meats, Pulled Pork, Tri-Tip & Burnt Ends, with our 2 sides being Mac N Cheese, which was a pretty small bowl, plus some good & Creamy Cole Slaw. The Pulled Pork was by far the best of the 3, which we mix w/ the cole slaw & devour. The Tri-Tip was in second place, perhaps slightly over-cooked, but still super tender. The Burnt Ends weren't cooked long enough, since when they get blackened on the outside, they're more tender & this bark, is deliciously crispy, as well, when executed correctly. Still, it was a pretty damn tasty dinner!

CHRIS WOODS

Gave four stars because there’s always room for improvement… Had the deviled eggs, kind’ve plain basic flavor wouldn’t recommend nor order again, they should add sweet relish OR chopped jalapeños to the egg mixture to give it some type zest…. Had the St Louise Ribs / Chicken combo with the greens and mixed vegetables, everything was good ESPECIALLY because of the heat temperature wise, food temperature will always be the winning factor for me in the end…

Carmen Hernandez

This was my first time visiting this location the wait time to be seated wasn't too long like other locations and very friendly host staff too. The food came quickly. The ribs were slightly burnt buy the pulled pork was tasty and the portion was huge. I ordered the BBQ chicken but for the sauce not to be put on beforehand I find rhe chicken comes out better when you do the sauce yourself at the table from the bottles they provide. The loaded mash potatoes are delicious and the mac is good.

E
Edwin Ramirez

Food was really good. I just wanted something small like some burnt ends or some rib tips but wife surprised me with some ribs that we're really good and some brisket that was really juicy 😋. The smashed potatoes weren't really good and the coleslaw was ok.

C
Cyndi Dotson

The onion straws are awesome at Lucille's!!! You get desert before your meal, the rolls and butter are really sweet. I forgot to take a picture but the Smokehouse BBQ bacon burger was delish! Our first time there but won't be our last!!

It is a good place to eat BBQ with family . The ribs, brisket, collard greens, potato salad, bbq beans, bisquits, and fried okra were delicious. The server Brenda was also great 👍. My overall score was 4 stars 🌟.

Ordered to go. The waitress was great and I used a good amount of sauce. My brisket was dry and the rib tips were very fatty.

Its been a lot of years since I've been to Lucilles. The service was spectacular and the ribs were top notch. The tri tip was a little cold and tough.

My Husband & I heard about this place on Instagram because the videos were so engaging so we decided we'd give it a try. It was pouring rain that day and we waited in line for 3 1/2 hours! If you're going, be prepared to wait! A lot of people got out of line everytime they announced something was sold out. By the time we were able to order; most of what we wanted was sold out! NO oxtails & NO pork belly burnt ends! At that point, we had to wait since we made it that far! We ordered, the brisket sandwich (which was delicious!), smoked turkey, ribs with mac-n-cheese & candied! It was good but it was the end of the night so it wasn't as excellent as I really wanted it to be as to why I gave it 4 stars. We were still in line waiting when they closed the doors. We aren't sure we'll be back with a wait like that but glad that we were able to try it. If you go, I suggest you go early! Be in line before they open! Met the owner, very nice guy!

Ordered on Doordash, so I didnt get to see inside the restaurant. However the food was pretty good, I enjoyed the side dishes (coleslaw has a horseradish kick which I love), the biscuit was moist and came with a nice sugar/butter sauce. Fries crispy. The meat was a bit dry I have to say, but the BBQ sauce it came with helped and was flavorful. Without it though, I wouldnt have enjoyed it. So I would suggest adding an additional container to ensure there is plenty for all the meat ordered. We barely had enough. The portion of the meat was good (we ordered the Build your own BBQ for $50). I think the sides are on the small side though. I split the meat with my husband and we still had leftovers, but the sides barely cut it between us two. Overall good value for money. Small adjustments would make it so I wouldnt hesitate to order again!

We discovered this place when visiting family members in Temecula. Our aunt gave us a gift card, so we decided to try it out. Great choice!\nExcellent service. Our server didn't make us feel rushed…

Went here for thanksgiving with my family. The food was beyond bland. Service was solid and I did appreciate the nice atmosphere. But this food was awful. Extremely tasteless. The Mac and cheese was also super gross and watery.

Very Good Southern Style BBQ place in Temecula. Conveniently located beside the Promenade Mall so it's perfect for lunch or dinner when you are going to the mall. The restaurant is quite big so I don't think reservations are necessary unless maybe on holidays.

Small portions and way overpriced. I'm a Georgian, and was excited to try this place, but the food is bland and the bbq is too sweet and tough. This doesn't compare to the real southern spread. The customer service is good though, but I won't be back.

I ordered sides and it came cold!Their menu changed, they took a few things off the menu for those that don’t eat meat but enjoyed knowing they had catfish & shrimp. It was busy like always but we were seated promptly and our waiter was outstanding can’t remember his name but most staff seemed attentive. I do have to say my husband enjoyed his meal but he said a few of his sides were cold as well.

The service was not that good, waited a long time before waitress took order, food came fast, but lukewarm, usually well send back, but it just seemed it was too overwhelming for the staff, food was good, but service no

I ate here once and got horrible food poisoning. After a year or so I went again tonight. Pulled pork was very dried out but the other two items I got were good. The beans have a salsa taste which im not a huge fan of but they were good. Lemonade was great as usual

I came here for happy hour and order some jambalaya, we waited over 30 minutes for it to come out while the people arrived after us already got their food.

We arrived shortly after opening; service was excellent, but the food quality was inconsistent. The rib tips portion was small, with excessive fat. The sausage, however, was flavorful and spicy. The baked beans were served cold and appeared to be from the previous day.

The biscuits were the only good thing. The BBQ chicken was raw, the brisket was so dry and the pulled pork was greasy and full of fat. Very disappointing.

Compared to Upland, this restaurant was awful. The meats were over cooked and the overall food quality was sub par. It took 30 minutes to get desert and when it arrived it was squishy and gross.

I was so sad the ribs weren’t fall off the bone soft. Instead they were super dry. The reason for the two stars instead of one is the mac & cheese and fries were good. A little under seasoned with the fries, but good. I got a whole rack which was even more upsetting. The two stars also is because the Texas hot sausages were good. We got the kids meal and my son couldn’t eat his ribs they were too chewy and dry. Beer can chicken was super tender.

09-08-23 Had dinner here today. I was so disappointed the waitress was terrible. I ordered 3 meats combo The tri tips were just pure fat greasy and felt awful to eat. The ribs were a joke. The waitress brought 2 ribs with very little meat and mostly fat. I asked her to get us better ribs. She brought back two ribs that were 95% fat. It was awful . After we asked for better food she did not come to our table unless we called her. Couldn't even get refills. These ribs were so bad my companion didn't even make it outside to the sidewalk before she was throwing up. I don't recommend this place. Maybe someone else will get better food then we did.

Biscuits were super good! Unfortunately their brisket was so dry, it tasted like beef jerky. Absolutely no moisture, and the slices were extremely thin. They also didn’t give us any bbq sauce, for our 1lb of brisket. The beans were gross. Tasted like spicy ketchup. I was super bummed because this place looked so good. I learned my lesson, I’ll stick to what I know is good. Try Maybells bbq, it never disappoints. I should also mention, we ordered a lb of brisket and what we got did not look or feel close to a pound. Again; try the other place. You won’t regret it.

We went in for lunch, I asked what the difference was between lunch and dinner size on Gumbo, the server didnt say, on is a cup and the other a bowl, she said "one cist more then the other!) Chicken on Nachos had absolutely no flavor. Gumbo needed salt and there was no Okra, a main component in Gumbo.

This was my second time eating here, and my second time ordering the fried chicken. First time was good. This time, the chicken was red at the bone. I told my server, and, without looking at it, she said the chicken is pink because it’s smoked. Bloody at the bone isn’t from smoking. I also ordered the collards, and they were bland. Their fried green tomatoes are good without all the stuff on top (I like guacamole, jalepeños and salsa, but not on my fried green tomatoes). I told myself I’d order them plain next time I came here, but after today’s chicken, that probably won’t happen. If it does, and my food is better, I’ll update my review.

Disapointed, lunch was just ok and the bicuits were not fresh.They also didn't have their lunch menu or price because of the holiday. I signed up for Lucill's rewards and it took several days to receive an email so l could not use them right away. I returned another time and found that my rewards had already expired. I mentioned to our server of my disapointment and was told they would inform corperate.

To expensive for the quality of the food, my family was looking to eat something delicious but left very disappointed the food has no flavor wasn't even seasoned we've had better Tri-tip at Ritchies Diner. We were planning on going to Ritchies, but we decided to give lucille's a try it was a bad decision. I might have just cooked it at home, it would've tasted better. I hope this review helps others.

Waitress wasn’t rude but definitely wasn’t happy we were there. Tri tip was good! Brisket was good! the sides were good enough, but don’t waste your money on the ribs! they technically fell off the bone but tasted like beef jerkey and had too much crunch

We visited this location on August 25, 2024 at noon. We were seated immediately. It took our server Horacio about 10 minutes to get to us. We ordered our drinks and he brought them with some biscuits. Immediately, my autistic son stated "the biscuits changed, those aren't the same biscuits". Upon tasting them, he was right. Instead of consuming 2 or 3 I could barely eat 1/2 of one. They resembled biscuits you'd get at Carl's Jr, not very good and soaked in butter. My son ordered his usual Smokehouse burger, and my husband and I both ordered the 2 meat combo with beef ribs, potato salad and mac and cheese. Our food arrived in about 10 minutes. What we expected and what we were served were completely off. My husband and my ribs, were so overcooked cooked they dried out and were falling off the bone. The macaroni and cheese was watered down and the potato salad had too mustard. My son's burger shrunk since the last time we brought him. $19.99 for a burger that I don't even think was a quarter pound! He had mac & cheese as a side and his was soupy too. I remember when these burgers were 1/3 pound. It must be shrinkflation. We did mention to our server about our ribs being over cooked and dry and the mac and cheese. He didn't offer an apology, or anything! We paid our bill $160 for 3 people and left. This is the LAST time we go to Lucille's.

The last time I went it took almost 20 min for the waiter Philip to even greet us! He rarely checked on us even though he was walking past. When we asked for the check and boxes he brought the boxes and after boxing my food I sent my son the money and went to the car. It took so long for the kids to come out that I wrote the longest complaint and still had to wait 15 min because Phillip took that long to bring the check. I got an email from Lucille's asking for my number and to my knowledge never received a call.

Food smelled and looked great but didn’t taste great or make me great after getting food poisoning from lack of precaution and food preparedness. My food wasn’t hot at all even after sending it back the food still wasn’t hot. Bacteria obviously grew on the food because of temperature and unfortunately I had to go through sickness. Such a good and convenient area but we need to work on temperature control!! Also servers seemed irritated and had a lot on his plate and I understand!

Was told it was going to be a 20-25 min wait so my husband and I went to the bartop for drinks while we wait. 2 hrs went by and we never got a text. We assumed they removed us from the list when they saw us go to the bar?? Not sure why they’d do that but it was a waste of time. What a joke, we looked like idiots sitting there waiting, looking around. we paid out after our 1 drink because they should text us about our table soon 🙂 yeah right. We should have left honestly but after 2 hours we were starving and ended up opening another tab with the bartender to order food. Will not be returning.

Used Apple Pay and the machine charged me twice. To separate cards that weee in my Apple wallets The server had the manger come over to assist. I showed him the double charges on my account. Same amount. Same time. He stated he will give me a call back the following day after the machines have completed the transactions for the day. I said sure. He got my information, received no call. I called the location twice and got hanged up once’s and the following call- could not reach anyone. No refunds to any of the cards that was charged. The next following day, I submitted the charges to my debit card. Only to one since it was a duplicate charge to 2 separate cards that were in my Apple wallet. It got denied, as the restaurant provided receipt. In the middle of it being investigated again to show both cards in my Apple wallet being charged. Server was great. Manager…liar. Food was not the greatest.

I ordered a pint of the loaded mashed potatoes. Paid $13 for a half full tiny container of mashed potatoes. Went back in to ask if this is their actual size for a pint and was informed that it apparently is. If this is a pint I’d be concerned to see what their normal sized sides are. A teaspoonful maybe?
