| - This place...so freaking messy and sticky and spicy and gooey good! Came here on a Saturday night with my husband and even at 8pm there was a 40 minute wait. I wanted to go shopping during the wait and with this incredibly handy (and maybe new...I've never heard of it anyway) method of TEXTING you when your table is ready rather than giving you a flashing and vibrating apparatus that only allows you to meander a short distance from the restaurant, shopping would have been possible! However, my practical, resourceful and uber intelligent husband discovered that we could seat ourselves in the bar area immediately. My suggestion is to sit there (assuming there are available tables) if the wait's long and if you don't have kids with you, of course.
We don't drink so our dinner order was placed almost immediately (hey...we were hungry!)
I wish I would have gotten our servers name so I could give her a shout out here cause she was awesome. Attentive and funny and super knowledgeable on the menu (girl could rattle off the litany of side items like nobody's business!).
My husband got the back porch trio dinner - ribs, chicken and tri tip. He chose mashed potatoes and cole slaw for sides. He devoured it all. Oink...Oink. I got a bite of his chicken and it was seriously amazing. Tender and flavorful and fall off the bone juicy. The potatoes were good - mashed and seasoned and delicious just like Mom's homemade. Here's the thing - my husband is super picky about his cole slaw. It can't be warm, it can't be watery, yada yada yada. He was concerned that he may not like it and told the server as much. She graciously told him that if he didn't, she would gladly replace it with something else. Well, he loved it. So much that he wanted to order an additional side of it. See, they put horseradish in there so it has a little kick. Yummy indeed.
I got the Mardi Gras chicken which, truthfully, is enough for 3 or 4 people. It's two massive chicken breasts that are breaded and fried on top of mashed potatoes, covered with this creamy, spicy cajun sauce that has andouille sausage, bell peppers and shrimp in it. There's a lot going on with this one but it all works so well together. It comes with grilled veggies that are a perfect compliment to the heaviness of the chicken/sausage/shrimp/spicy goodness.
But let's talk about the biscuits. Praise the Lord they are out of this freaking world. Huge and fluffy and warm and soft on the inside with a golden brown outside. They come with honey butter that is slightly sweet, extremely marvelous. I really feel like if all I had to eat that night were biscuits, I'd be completely and totally content.
The bar area is loud. Actually, the entire restaurant is loud. There's a lot of seating, both tables and booths, and they even have a wraparound indoor veranda of sorts for seating as well. The decor is decidedly southern (no doy kee) with lots of interesting things to look at and admire. (Bonus - just outside of the restroom is a leg lamp, the one made famous in the classic movie, A Christmas Story. It was a major award, you know!) The photo ops are endless here.
All in all, I love Lucille's. Like love it so much that I'd be 200 pounds if I ate here too often. It's a splurge for sure, nutrition wise. Money speaking, we spent about $60 before tip for the both of us. It's worth it. Promise.
