We went to Lucille's on 6/16/12 for a friend's birthday. It has a great lively atmosphere. My friend's uncle was playing live blues for the night! We had a very large group so I am also posting the review for my meat eating friends also because there weren't many veggie options available besides sides.
My favorite thing here were the biscuits. They were addictive! The Dixie Sweet Tea was good! I did not like the Flame Roasted Artichoke app. It was really dry and had no seasoning. I expected it to be meatier (like the way artichoke is in a dip). The Southern Fried Okra and Fried Green Tomatoes were a little too greasy for my taste. More breading would have set them off! My friends said the wings were just ok, they needed more sauce on them. My friend's mom had the Grilled Salmon; she said she enjoyed it. My friend said his Po Boy Sandwich was "ok". He went to school in New Orleans so he had high expectations. For dessert, I had the Snickers Ice Cream Pie. I was pretty underwhelmed. It had a somewhat gritty texture, too many peanuts and was soupy.
I wanted to score Lucille's higher but too many "OKs" across the board. No one was excited about their dishes. And to me BBQ (with creole/cajun influence) is definitely supposed to be exciting! The pluses: Nice servers, the portions are very generous and as I mentioned before, we really enjoyed the biscuits.
