Café Lucille

My colleague and I needed a nice, quiet place to catch up and indulge. Cafe Lucille did not disappoint. We had pineapple French Toast, waffle hash browns, bottle service of Mimosas, and then a few basic breakfast items that were also fulfilling. 10 out of 10, I do recommend.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Best Upside-Down Pineapple French Toast in Town! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ From the very first bite, I was blown away by how perfectly balanced the flavors were — sweet, tangy pineapple paired with just the right amount of rich, custardy French toast. The mini sized toast itself was fluffy yet golden-crisp on the edges, soaking up all that luscious pineapple syrup without ever getting soggy. 😍 What really sets it apart is the caramelized pineapple topping — it’s slightly charred in the best way, adding depth and a hint of smoky sweetness that’ll make your taste buds do a happy dance. 💃🍍 The finish? A light dollop of whipped cream and a drizzle of warm vanilla-cinnamon glaze that ties every element together beautifully. I mean this Flavor is outrageous. Vibes? Absolutely 10/10. Whether you’re a local foodie or just craving something unforgettable for brunch, this is THE dish you’ve gotta try. Do yourself a favor — order it, savor it, and thank me later. 🙌💛

Great place to have lunch. Food was delicious. I ended up getting The Rachelle and my husband had the OG Eggs Benedict( ham was very very good). There was a graduation party and the restaurant was full so we did have to wait 20min for a table to become available. Would visit again.

Great spot! The bennies are to die for! Not a huge fan of chipotle sauce in general, but the shrimp & grits were so good otherwise, that the dish was still divine!

My friend and I decided to take a road trip to Texarkana and we had lunch at Lucille's after researching on the Internet. We were not disappointed in our choice! Even from the outside, the restaurant had so much charm. There was a full house but we were seated quickly and our awesome server, Kaitlyn, welcomed us immediately. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was super friendly. If you go, don't leave without ordering The Frenchie!!

I visited Café Lucille yesterday for a realtor training, and it was such a great experience! The croissant sandwich was delicious—fresh and buttery, just perfect. Our waiter was incredibly attentive and organized, which made everything run smoothly. Loved the atmosphere and the service!

What a fantastic place to have brunch. I can't believe a place this good is in a city of this size. I can't say enough good things about it. From the amazing eggs Benedict to the killer bloody Mary. Mac took great care of us and had a amazing energy.

10/10 We loved the helpful servers that gave suggestions, and the food was amazing. Can’t wait to return for pastries soon.

Always love eating here. Today, we came for the Shrek themed brunch and as always, it was a blast with great food!

Sharon White

Amazing brunch with the biggest cinnamon rolls I've ever seen! Our group of 3 all ordered different items and everything was over the top! Jessica was very helpful and kind helping us place our order and offering advice. We are excited to go back and try different things!

Amazing place off the beaten path but well with it. The food was amazing and service was great. Love the fact they are trying to help revive old town and bring back business and glory to the old heart of the city.

I had the Chicken Salad sandwich, it was great. The dried cranberries were a perfect fit in there! Daughter had Biscuits and Gravy, it was a huge portion! Hubs got eggs/bacon/fruit cup and cleaned his plate!

We stumbled upon Cafe Lucille’s while looking for another restaurant and were pleasantly surprised. Sam was our server and she was pleasant and helped make the experience outstanding. My sister and I shared two sandwiches, the love it when you call me big popper and the Monti Cristo. Both were delicious. We also tried the mimosa bucket which was a great choice. This is a great spot.

Randomly found Lucille‘s traveling and everything was delicious. Well, worth a stop over. “Pineapple upside down frenchie” French toast was fantastic. Description sounds like it may be too sweet but they did a great job with the flavors, not too sweet at all. Sandwiches were great. Best thing we had were the Chilaquiles. This will be a regular stop of traveling anywhere close to Texarkana.

The food was excellent. We had the Mommy bowl and Tuscan benedict. The Mommy bowl had bacon, sausage eggs and potatoes. The sausage was delish! The Benedict's egg's perfectly done over wonderful bisquits. They were both hit the table hot and were delicious. Great place to grab a breakfast.

This place is excellent. My wife had the Rachelle, and I had shrimp and grits. We were just passing through town and looked up a place to eat, and this is where we landed, and I’m so glad we did. Amazing food, friendly people, and if we find our way back through here this will be a must stop for us.

Cindy Mahaney

Have eaten here twice and live it. Food is delicious and well presented. Salads are very goog, but the Monte Cristo is wonderful! Our server, on both occasions were friendly and attentive. Will visit often when passing thru town.

I ate at a hidden gem last Sunday! The food was amazing, the pineapple mimosas definitely did the job! 🤪. I had the “I love it when you call me big papa” I asked them to make it with the shaved lamb instead of chicken, and it definitely did not disappoint. The atmosphere was great! Now I went around 10:30 ish, and it wasn’t packed, I sat at the bar and a friend met me about 30 minutes later and the place was full to the max with a waiting list going! So glad I decided to try Cafe Lucille!!

First of all.. The Tarte is a must, absolutely amazing. I had the breakfast gyro and it was really good. The food is on a different level. Do not go in thinking you're getting the regular ole brunch menu. It's new and refreshing and you'll have a hard time deciding what to have which means you need to go back another time to try that thing that came in second place! Love this place will be back.

If I could leave negative stars for Café Lucille, I would. This place ruined what should have been a joyful occasion. My fiancé’s and my family drove between 4 to 9 hours to Texarkana for my bridal shower. We decided to have brunch here — a decision I deeply regret. My aunt and I each made separate reservations that morning, using different phones with different area codes under different names for 7 people each. When we arrived, we were told one of the reservations was canceled because it was allegedly from the “same number and name.” A complete lie — and a pathetic excuse for their disorganization. While we waited for them to scramble tables together, the owner himself rudely ordered my friends to move out of the way, like we were an inconvenience for simply showing up. No "excuse me," no courtesy — just pure hostility. Once seated, my aunt’s order was completely skipped, and the entire time we were there, the owner stood across the restaurant glaring at our table with open disdain. It gets worse: my aunt ordered a mimosa bucket to share, and they brought it out with just one dirty glass. Meanwhile, the group seated behind us — who was not Black — received two or three clean glasses with their mimosa bucket without even having to ask. The double standard was blatant. We are a group of calm, respectful women — many from military and law enforcement backgrounds —raised to be respectful of others. I hate to say it, but it was clear we were being treated differently because we are Black women (plus a few friends). It was shameful to witness and even worse to experience. To add insult to injury, I watched the owner hold the door open with a big smile for several guests as they left — but not once for anyone in our group. It’s not hard to read between the lines. And despite their rude, subpar service, they had the audacity to automatically add a 20% gratuity to each of our checks, as if they deserved it. They didn’t. We are all women with well paying jobs who would have tipped generously had we been treated with basic respect. Café Lucille made it loud and clear that they didn’t want us there. Save yourself the anger and heartbreak — spend your money where people actually appreciate and respect you. Absolutely disgraceful establishment. This was mainly regarding the owner, as for our waitress there were a few mistakes but she was very kind. She may have just been disoriented from serving 14 people and they were busy. I had the pineapple upside down French Toast with a side of sausage and it was good. My sister didn't care too much for her food though, she had some kind of scramble bowl with eggs. *EDIT: Allegations?? All of this definitely happened. If you have cameras kindly go review them. Spoke to everyone there and my sister said she saw you one time and it was when the wrong food was brought. My other aunt said you kept trying to get her daughter to try the French toast sticks after she said she didn't want them multiple times and she got a cinnamon roll on a paper plate in the end. I had to call the waitress over a few times because we all didn't have silverware as well. In regards to a group of 8 or more having an automatic 20% gratuity, that is understandable we didn't know about that but we also had 2 separate reservations for a group of 7, which one was canceled so what about that? Just own your mistakes. You still haven't addressed the way in which the supposed owner talked down to my friends and hit my aunt's foot with a chair without apologizing. I also emailed that email you posted with no response so you were most likely not serious about me reaching out.

Second time last time. Went yesterday Saturday they were busy. We must have ordered the wrong thing. My date ordered Aces of Club. Waitress ask if she wanted wheat, white or croissant. She wanted croissant. Nothing was said about extra charge of $2 for croissant until we got the bill. I ordered Monte Cristo. It was not a Monte Cristo. It was ham and cheese cooked in a George Forman grill with a little bitty prepackaged raspberry jelly I think. When the food arrived we did not get silverware and chips. Had to get another waitress to get that for us. Two sandwiches two soft drinks $40 bucks before tip. Will not be back.
