Blu Lacy Bar — Restaurant in Castroville

Horrible experience! We had been to blue lacy before the name/menu change occurred and loved everything about the service and freshness of the food!

Hands down my new fave bbq joint 😋 Every item on the menu is so delicious. The jalapeño cheddar sausage was so juicy, and so was the brisket. Just the right amount of smokiness, not too overbearing like other places I've been to. The bbq sauce is nice and tangy, and I honestly don't even think you need it on the brisket. The pork rib was tender and fell off the bone. The sides were just as amazing, the potato salad tasted so fresh with the fresh Dill, the Mac was wonderfully cheesy and creamy. But let me tell you, the star of the show for me was the Esquite aka mexican street corn. Highly recommend! But really EVERYTHING was...
