| - Quiet and with a sense of southern backyard charm, I was pleasantly surprised the people-thirtsy Lucille's had such tasty food. Although on the expensive side, I thought of this BBQ joint similar to Olive Garden with its Italian food: affordable and fancy, but not gourmet.
You are offered their complimentary biscuits and cinnamon butter. I was not a fan of said butter. It made the already sweet biscuits sweeter. If you have children with an appetite, please, allow them to indulge at least. My waitress was gracious and efficient, quickly offering me my drink options ($3 for the largest Mason jar you've ever seen! Reminded me of Memphis, TN BBQ). No complaints there. It was after I ordered my food that it seemed to take ages for it to arrive. I felt the staff may have lost my request and kept anxiously glancing over towards the kitchen.
When you start running out of conversational topics, biscuit to stuff your face with AND you pull out your phone to start watching the latest episode of a series you're into, you know the wait was bad.
Lucille's smokes their meat in-house in a smoker right smack in the middle of the floor. My waitress was kind enough to inform me that I would taste the gaseous fumes, which I expected. Overall, the food was delicious and filling. Not only was everything fresh and well thought out, warm towels were brought out to satisfactorily clean my hands. Definitely beats the moist towelettes you get at other establishments.
Stop on in for a touch of Southern charm. Yee-haw!
