| - I love barbecue. I love barbecue so much, that I actually spent time learning how to make it at home. But, every now and then, I get the inkling to have it somewhere else. While helping my baby sister move to Arizona, I saw Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que, while walking around Tempe Market Place, and decided to try it. I should have read the Yelp reviews first. =/
The place was packed, so I assumed that the food had to be pretty good. Seeking solace from 100+ degree weather was really my first priority. Yes! I'm a wimp. I was missing San Diego weather the moment I crossed the state line. =(
Prior to being seated, we saw how big the plates were and between the four of us, split two combo platters: the BBQ combo and the Porch combo. Each plate ran about $25. Meats included babyback ribs, St. Louis ribs, beef ribs, pulled pork and a half chicken. Sides included fresh vegetable medley, garlic mash potatoes, fries and macaroni and cheese.
The chicken, pulled pork and the St. Louis ribs were tasty. The beef rib and the babyback was just alright. The side dishes were nothing spectacular.
Compared to other places that I've tried, I wasn't overly impressed. The price for a plate of food was pretty pricey, even with the portion sizes. The side dishes were lacking. But, the customer service was great. Would I go there again? Not really. I'm still in the hunt for some amazing BBQ.
