| - I could eat Lucille's every day, every night and every hour of the year. I would be 200+ pounds, but I would be happy.
Lucille's recently released their new menu which denotes gluten free items. If you're worried about not having a bunch of choices to eat here, have no fear. You will have plenty of options here if you have a gluten allergy, and all of the staff seems very knowledgeable about the allergy which makes me feel very comfortable eating here.
I love the feel of this restaurant and the layout. You can either eat outside, inside in the enclosed porch, in the main dining room or in the bar. My husband and I like to go to their late night happy hour in the bar because the music is great (we love the blues), and the drink and food prices are very reasonable for the quality of food and booze we consume.
It is easy to share a plate at Lucille's, especially at dinner time. We normally split an entree and get a half appetizer and/or salad which is plenty of food for us. We have yet to eat anything at Lucille's that isn't delicious. The brisket can sometimes be a little dry, but most of the time it is juicy with just enough of the fat and barbecue bark on the outside to make my tummy sing. I am a huge fan of their smoked chicken, whether it is the breast of dark quarter, I could eat it all. The trip tip is always perfectly cooked, and my husband and I can happily eat our way through a plate of rib tips in under five minutes. The hot link is great, and if you want to go bananas, try the beef rib. The rib is a meal itself with a decent amount of fat, but it reminds me of the ribs I ate in SC which were always delicious.
Their smoked brisket salad is exactly what I wanted it to be. Smokey, sweet, savory and delicious. We've had most of their sides, and my favorite are their sweet potato mashed potatoes, creamy coleslaw and potato salad. Beware: If you get the baked potato, know that it is massive enough to share between two to three people! And their stuffed baked potatoes are nothing short of carbohydrate goodness. Sometimes stuffed potatoes end up being all potato by the end, but they really stuff the potatoes here at Lucille's, and they are great!
All in all, I highly doubt you'll be disappointed if you eat at Lucille's and love barbecue. Regardless of the type of barbecue you like, you'll be satisfied eating at this restaurant.
P.S. Their drinks are crazy good. I like their Skinny Drinks, especially the one made with gin and basil. Not too strong or sweet, but it packs a punch! My husband is a fan of the Crocodile Cooler which, even though it is all alcohol, masks its strength with the right combination of juices. Just know that after one, you better eat some food to help sober you up!
