My wife and I and her daddy took my brother to celebrate his birthday at Lucille's Smkehouse BBQ in Montebello. We made reservations because it gets packed certain time of the day. When arrived it wasn't packed it took couple of minutes for our table to be ready. Our table was ready with the menu on the table and utensils on the table then we sat down and then we order our drinks.. We were looking at the menu and see what to order then my wife and us decided to order the Tour of BBQ with two sides and get another side. My family enjoyed having special occasions at Lucille's because it bring family together. The waitess was bring the sides first the salad was the first then mac cheese and the garlic mashed potatoe and sting beans and vegetables. Then they brought meats it looks so good and plenty of food feeds for four. The food was amazing good especially the meats like the rib,BBQ chicken,brisket and burned ends and hot links plenty of meat it was delicious. The salad was good and also the mac cheese,garlic mashed potatoe and sting bean with vegetables. The service was pretty good and the staff were very friendly and great to know they to treat the guest well.

1/18/25 Every year we go to Lucille's in Brea, but there weren't tables available this time around. I went ahead and reserved at the Lucille's at the Montebello Town center...... Never Again, never again!!! Service was HORRIBLE!! At first, it was ok. They brought our waters and two drinks. Timely manner. BUT then, she disappeared... We finally ordered our appetizers for our group of 11. The rest of our group ordered their drinks, but it took at least 20/30 min to receive the drinks and another 20 to receive our appetizers. We ordered our entrees right then and there and I ordered my glass of wine and a few more drinks. 30 minutes to receive the drinks and 30 minutes to tell me they didn't have Merlot. I wanted my glass of wine with my dinner. At least 25/30 minutes we received our food but I hadn't received my glass of wine. My meal was over and we all ate our meals without water, drinks, or my glass of wine. Waters were never re-filled. Our table was full of dirty dishes that were not removed after we were done with the appetizers. We were never asked if we wanted another drink..... And I finally got my wine at the end of our night. I was so, so, so disappointed. It was my son's bday and it was very disappointing.š©š©š©š©š©š©. I DO NOT RECOMMEND a large group get together at this location....At All. Food is always great but the service was HORRIBLE!!!š±š±š±š©š©š©š© We made the best of it, what else can you do 𤷠š Our night began at 6pm and ended at 845pm. It normally takes maybe 2hrs at Brea... Not almost 3hrs and you spend most of those hrs waiting on drinks and food. Just bad service, so disappointing..

For the past two years, my family has trusted Lucilleās Smokehouse BBQ in Montebello to provide our Thanksgiving dinner. As my mother ages, weāve relied on this service to make the holiday easier for her, and up until this year, it had been a great experience. Unfortunately, this year was a complete disaster, and I feel compelled to share my disappointment. The beef brisket was thick, chewy, and lacked flavor. The ribs, while edible, were nowhere near the quality weāve had in the past, whether dining in or catering. The pork was dry and unappealing, and several family members complained about it. The most upsetting part was the macaroni and cheese. It was watery and soupy, completely unrecognizable from the delicious dish weāve come to expect. While the kids ate it out of hunger, it was clear it was poorly prepared. Iāve attached photos of the mac and cheese to highlight the issue. For $374, this meal was a huge disappointment. This experience not only ruined our Thanksgiving dinner but has also left my entire family unwilling to return to Lucilleās for future meals. If you plan to cater from this location, I strongly suggest inspecting your order thoroughly before leaving to ensure everything meets your expectations. Donāt let a special family gathering be spoiled like ours was. Lucilleās, youāve lost a loyal customer. I hope you take this feedback seriously and work to ensure no other family has an experience like this.

I don't understand how people give this place a good rating. Maybe they are rating this location because of service. The service is very good I've never had a bad experience with that. But the food quality is not good. I've come to this location several times and the food tastes old, tastes likes it was previously prepared and reheated (microwaved?), not fresh. This really applies to the meat served here. The meat tastes old like it was prepared another time/day and then reheated & served. The biscuits were not freshly prepared or baked. They have a refrigerator/freezer back taste and so does the rest of the food. The last meal I personally ordered here was the fried chicken. And that was definably the worst fried chicken I've ever had. The chicken was dry, overcooked and had a strong cool box after taste. The chicken was definitely not freshly battered and cooked. And the rest of the meals my family of 4 had was equally as bad. My wife's salad was wilted and not fresh. My daughter's nachos included stale chips and old odd tasting meat. And the food cost is not cheap. So for us it was a total loss. I cannot recommend this place.

Possibly my now favorite barbecue place! Everything I had is so good! From the actual barbecued meats to the sides! So my family of 4 decided to go here for our Thanksgiving celebration and it did not dissapoint. First off, the bisquits with the spread was already a good start. Our favorite here is the ribs! It was so good and perfectly seasoned it didn't even need additional sauce! The brisket is tender and juicy. The sides are good as well, the garlic mashed potatoes is crazy good and creamy, the corn bread is the best and moist. I have no bad thing to say to this place but probably that we ate so quickly we wanted more. The memphis sauce in my opinion was the tastiest one among the 3 sauces! The sweet tea was a good pairing for everything! the staff is so nice, attentive and helpful that it made our experience so good. so definitely will come back!
