| - It was a Saturday night in Red Rock Casino and we were up for Lucille's Barbecue. So were several other people. There would be a 45 minute wait. Thanks to an innovative yet obvious system the 45 minutes would be put to good use. After the host informed us of the wait, he asked for the cell phone number. When our table was ready, he would send a text message. Lucille's just happens to be Red Rock Casino neighbors with the Yard House, an indoor theme park of beer. And when I drink a beer in the yard House, 45 minutes flies by fast and before I knew it, Lucille's Barbecue sent the text.
I had my mind set on ordering some type of hamburger sandwich. From past experiences dining in restaurants specializing in barbecue cuisine, the hamburgers are exceptional (same holds true with steak houses). After a cursory glance at the menu, the smoked beef brisket & portabello sandwich struck my eyes. I am a fan of brisket and mushrooms. After the waiter said this is one of their best sandwiches, I ordered it. Color me impressed with the sandwich. Everything from the grilled red onions to the sourdough bread was quality. The space between the sourdough buns was thick with the smoked beef brisket. Delicious smoked beef brisket that is. I appreciated that it wasn't sticky. With the sandwich, I chose shoestring fries. They were decent. And the soda that I drank was in a large glass.
Attentive and for the most part friendly servers placed the food on the table. One of the servers was attentive enough to let us know that the bread rolls were taking awhile because they were making new ones. Toward the end of the meal, one of the servers took the initiative to give us a to-go box. My one beef with the service was having to wait on ketchup.
I am impressed with Lucille's Barbecue. Especially, when a 45 minute wait is no wait, but the freedom to have a beer in the Yard House or walk around Red Rock Casino until a text message sends the alert that the table is ready. I could see a return dinner to Lucille's Barbecue in my future.
