| - I love BBQ! I love BBQ that I don't have to travel far for. I want good BBQ! Luculle's is deliverable on that, to some extent. It really is a hit or miss here, more service wise but sometimes food wise. The majority of my dining is done in the day here. And we've come to the conclusion that sitting in the long big booths beside the bar are cursed. But in my restaurant world mind, I know why we usually get crappy service here. The bartender. This is the bartenders section and the day bartender always has sidework that has to be completed for the night bartender. SO their tables are a forethought in their mind. But I see her looking at us out of the corner of her eye and she's thinking let me finish this last lemon, or let me just finish prepping garnishes or re-filling mixers...but you took too long to finish and while we are here for a quick and speedy lunch, it always fails. We often have to ask for the biscuits, to tell her we are ready to order-which she probably already knows because as I said I saw her looking at us, for refills, the check, a box. As soon as the check dropped she was all smiles and thank you's. Nope, I don't fall for that and I am happy to educate the people that do not know better for they shall not be taken advantage of.
The food is good. The portions are either too small or ridiculously big! Once I got a BBQ chicken salad for lunch, it was served to me in a soup bowl. UGH! Half of it ended up on the table after having to cut the large lettuce pieces. It was a $10 salad in a soup bowl. Their lunch prices and items are decent selection.
On another visit I got, I think it was a special, BBQ chicken lettuce wraps. Could I have some more toppings with my lettuce. Thank you! But overall it lacked flavor anyway and I didn't finish it. The best things are their Fried Green Tomatoes with the Red Pepper Sauce! So yummy!
Let me say though, I have had dinner at this location once and everything was great that night, service and food!
Their drinks are probably the second best thing...their GIANT quart sized drinks will give you a sugar stroke if you are drinking pop but if you get their iced teas they are so good! Peach and Watermelon and they are not flavored with syrups! So they are unsweetened. That makes me a fan. The other is their cocktails while I've only had one at this location, Lucille's Big Peach, it was strong without being gross and I love peaches!
I'll be back, it's not awful but I hate that I have to be sure to ask for a certain sections and have to limit what's good and not good on the menu when I like everything!
