I love Lucille’s food overall, so when I have a taste for bbq/beef ribs, they are first on the list, but I have been noticing that they are highly inconsistent. I can go here one day and it’s great, then the next time it’s not so great. I always order the 5 beef rib and was told they no longer carry the 5 only the 3 or the 7. Of course the 7 rib is more expensive, $65, hadn’t been in some time so decided to order the 7. Idk what’s going on with the quality of the cut of ribs, but it’s horrible, you are not getting what you are paying for. I spent almost $200 on ribs (two orders of 7 beef ribs and one order of baby back ribs) and was mad disappointed at the beef bone ribs. Every time we order beef ribs they are already pre-cut for us, so it was a surprise that the 7 ribs were not cut, they just gave us the slabs. Cutting into the ribs I realized why they were not cut, it was all bone and fat, barely any meat, and not cooked well enough. We ordered to go so about time we got home to sit down and eat, we were very disappointed. Literally picking over the ribs to find any meat. I never leave reviews, but I am so mad and feel like I wasted my money. The sides were okay this time around and the lemonades were good. I wanted to call the store and complain, but just took it as a loss. The service is always nice, everyone is welcoming and attentive. If I decide to order again from here, guess it will no longer be the beef ribs.

Some dishes were 5 stars and some were 3 stars. My older brother loved his ribs, beans, veggies. His wife finished her pasta so it was good. My husband had chicken fried steak, and he also enjoyed it. My pulled chicken nachos were ok, probably will not get again as the chicken was dry. Advertised as BBQ pulled chicken, but not covered in any sauce. The chips, cheese, black beans, and everything else was delicious. I did add a BBQ sauce, but adding sauce to dry chicken doesn't hydrate the chicken. We sat in the bar area, wasn't busy, we did order and got our drinks in good time. A refill took longer, more bread took longer, a to go refill we got when we were literally walking out. I understand the bartender was the only bartender and server but the area was like 10% full. Saw him chatting & laughing with the 3 customers sitting at the bar. He was friendly when he was tending to us, but we felt ignored most of the time. And why do they ask when making a reservation online if you're celebrating something, if absolutely nothing is offered? It was the actual bday of my brother and nothing. Not even a plate of whipped cream, my brother had no room for dessert, so he passed on ordering a sweet.

LOVED IT!! How have I not known about Lucilles before? Well, I know know this place is awesome. Decoration on the inside of the restaurant makes you feel invited along with the aroma of bbq. I did not make reservations and had to wait (with a party of 7) for about 35 minutes. So I recommend getting reservations if you can. Our server was a nice young lady who checked on us several times and refilled our drinks. The food is outstanding. We ordered the family tray full of meats and 3 large side dishes, 2 full bbq chicken, 2 racks of ribs and one other choice of meat....our group wanted sausages too so we ordered 4 sausages as sides for $4 each, the sausages are good but were super spicy, im not sure if they had a not so spicy choice, I wish the waitress would have mentioned they were hot when ordering. The family bbq meal tray was around $130, we ended up taking a lot home because it really was a lot of food. If you like the 3 different kinds of bbq sauces then you can purchase some on your way out. Enjoy.

The decor to this place is really nice, seemed like the benches were recently painted because it had caution tape around them. The wait was not very long so that was cool. The servers are very personable , attractive and attentive to your needs. They have thorough knowledge of the menu and have recommendations. It had been a while since visiting a Lucille's BBQ spot. We ordered nachos and spinach dip. They both came with chips obviously. The nachos were made with brisket. They can do a better job of placing ingredients over all the chips and not just towards the middle. The spinach dip seems like it just microwaved so I wasn't to impressed. My server recommended chicken with mashed potatoes and white gravy. It was delicious. Also ordered Ribs with brisket. The brisket was delicious and the ribs could've been smoked longer so that meat would fall off the bone.
