| - How depressing! We used to frequent the Lucille's in green valley Nv. I think it was one of the first and it was good good good. So good we would do our business entertaining there. When we moved home to Az we were very excited to find that they were putting one in Tempe. Our first visit was good, but for some reason not as good as Vegas, but they were new and we figured they needed a chance to get started. Second visit, still not so good, third visit, decided not to go back. That was awhile ago. Today, my daughter wanted to have lunch there and she only remembers the Nv Lucille's as she has been in Wa. for a few years. So we went. Here's how it went......
She had a Cobb salad and ordered with no eggs, came covered in eggs, sent it back. Came back with raw chicken......worried me cause although she took it off her salad, it had still touched the rest of her salad and she is breast feeding. Her husbands fried chicken was so bad that he wouldn't eat it and that boy eats like crazy. My son had the tri tip that was melt in your mouth in Vegas, but not here. It was tough and fatty. I had the sea food platter. It was something I had never seen. It looked like it was coated with corn meal plastic. Burnt corn meal plastic. I peeled it off and there was a teeny tiny piece of cat fish in there. The grilled artichoke was ok but the dip was wall paste, the fried okra was good, but hey, it's not fresh, it's frozen. The sweet tea was wonderful and our waiter was nice. Bottom line......go to Green Valley, next to Vegas.........skip Tempe. It cost 92 dollars to eat lunch at Lucille's and I use the term " eat" loosely. I feel like I was robbed! Not one of us was happy.
I have a lot of good memories at Lucille's years ago, but that was then, and this is now.......and now they suck!!!
