| - Yowza! Just the word I needed to describe Lucille's BBQ in the District.
I'm dined here on numerous occasions but since my very last experience was last night, here I am.
Checking in at the hostess stand was a breeze, I find there system for paging you when your table is ready effective, they take your cell phone number and text you when your seat is ready. Clever, yes, but I'm sure there are still folk out there acrewing charges on their wireless bill over waiting on a dinner table.
Anyway, let's get to it! Service is friendly, what you'd come to expect on a Friday evening in a hip-happenin joint such as the District, polite yet impersonal due to the volume of tables each server has in their stations.
Grilled artichoke with BBQ sauce..mmm! Extremely flavorful but it's a rare feet for Lucille's to ever cook the artichoke JUST right, it was a little on the tough side. It went down the hatch though, no problem.
Now, I know Lucille's is a BBQ place and when you think BBQ, you think big meaty ribs, pork, pork, chicken, meat, carbs and more pork but my most prized pick on this menu is actually their veggie burger!
I'm not kidding when I say I have day dreams of this veggie packed faux meat patty and it's accomplice's, the grilled onions, spring lettuce mix, garlic mayo and of course cheese.. If that doesn't fill you up, be sure to indulge on their tasty yet far from healthy side dishes.. collared greens, sweet potato fries, BBQ baked beans.. the list goes on.
So clear your dining calendar for a about a week and get ready for a fatty feast and a half. According to my more experimental friends, the catfish (blackened) was delish and the ribs were tender and cooked just right.
NOTE: Drop cloth and elastic waist band a MUST to eat here
