Lucille's Smokehouse Bbq

The food was mediocre, served cold. We got our salads and didnt get dressing from them for 30 minutes. The staff was less than attentive. I know good BBQ, this place is run of the mill, first timer bbq. This was the worst birthday dinner ever. I will never go back and can not recommend this place to anyone, not even someone who thinks Memphis really does have championship bbq, lol. I can't believe people like this, completely astounded.

Pros: sweet potatoes

Cons: everything else

From the moment you walk in you are greeted and seated, there may be a small wait time, but it's totally worth it!
Management is amazing, food is incredible and service is top of the line!!
Will be frequenting Lucille's A LOT!!!

Pros: Atmosphere, Staff, Food

Cons: Nothing :)

One of our favorite all time restaurants...We have had a few parties where we shared a Feast and everyone has really enjoyed it...My wife and I go there often for lunch...She loves the Portebello burger...We both always order a side of sweet potatoes, they are second to none in our book...Both of us always enjoy their greens....We highly reccomend this restaurant!

Great food, great service!!! My kids pick Lucille's every chance they get!! Must be those lollipops!! Great atmosphere with the ambience of BBQ permiating through the restaurant. The only negative I have is the baby back ribs or sometimes a little dry. The Tri-tip is to die for!!!!!! Good food at a descent price!!

Pros: large menu, great selection

Cons: baby back ribs are sometimes a bit dry

I go to Lucilles quite often with my family. Love it. Wait can be a little long at times. I agree with previous poster....been to "Outlaws" and there's no wait and prices are better with over a dozen sauces.

Lucille's is walking distance from my house. The BBQ is great but a little expensive. I like the atmosphere. I am always looking for a great place for ribs. I tried the new place on Eastern "Outlaws". That place is just as good as Lucille's.

Pros: Good BBQ

Cons: Long wait, prices are high

We have been here several times and have never been disappointed with the quality or the portions. An earlier review mentioned that this might not be a place for seniors - balderdash! We enjoy the family atmosphere and you can take home the leftovers and there will be some. Excellent appetizers, especially the crab cakes, fried tomatoes and fried pickles. The drinks are excellent, especially the Bloody Mary. Every side is a generous portion and fantastic. The rib racks are large, tasty and moist but the sandwiches are also tops. The cheeseburger is as good a burger as you can find. No disappointments here, if you love BBQ, you will love this place.

We usually eat in the bar and they have a band on weekends. The music played the rest of the time includes blues and Cajun and is great. Go and have fun!

Pros: The entire menu is tops and it has great "atmosphere"

Cons: Cost more than most rib joints

The food and service were superb. The Mardi Gras Chicken was to die for (who could eat all those mashed potatoes) and the ribs were also great with several sauces and sides to choose from.. We both added the Caesar salad to our menu choices and were very pleased. This is a great place to take families with children, not your senior parents. We have eaten ( not dined) here several times and continue to return. .However, we seem to forget between visits ,that the company policy in seating does not take into consideration that families with small children should be seated together. If we have non-smoking areas in restaurants why not designated adults only areas. Let the patrons choose. Especially earlier in the evening when the restaurant is "wide open".
We would have loved to try their desserts but the commotion at adjoining tables was too much to endure. Yet we return for the great food.

Pros: Great Food and Service

Cons: No Adult Seating Only areas

This is a family favorite in my house! Everything that we have tried on their menu has yet to disappoint. The ribs are thick and meaty, the brisket is juicy, and the sides are wonderful. Homemade biscuits are served before the meal with sweet butter. A personal favorite of mine is the pulled pork sandwich. They give you a selection of three different sauces for your meal items, each sauce is equally delicious. Aside from the food, the atmosphere is great as well. You find yourself eating in a very realistic and cute southern plantation type home. This is a great place to bring your family and friends. Be prepared to be completely stuffed afterwards!

I have tried several BBQ places in las vegas. This place is by far the best I have had. The ribs are so good, and perfectly juicy. the original bbq sauce is outstanding. The sides are fresh and delicious, and the portions are enormous. Its a little pricy, but really, if you make the best ribs in town, you can charge for em.

Pros: Way good.

Cons: A little pricy.

I have dined here many times. The food is excellent and the portions are huge. The microbrews are very good and the rest of the beer selection and liqour drinks are worth checking out. The southwest vinegarette is a great choice for the salad dressing. The blackened shrimp is delicous as is the rib tip appetizer. The greens are great, but the mac and cheese is a little too much like velveeta. If you are with a large group or ordering for catering keep this in mind - we had my birthday dinner there with 8 people, ordered the backyard family feast that is supposed to feed 4. We were all stuffed AND had leftovers. The portions are huge! Another good reason to eat here is the outdoor seating (with heaters and misters) and the District where it's located is fun to walk around and explore before or after dinner.

Pros: Food, Price

I am usually not one to promote chains, but the ribs at Lucilles are worth a try. To me they are much better than Memphis Babq. If there are better ribs in Vegas somebody please let me know.

Ordered Tri-Tip and BBQ pork sandwiches which came with fresh biscuits/apple butter. The service was responsive. There are also 3 unique BBQ sauce at the table along with a Dave's Insanity hot sauce packaged for Lucillie's. That alone spoke to me that somebody knows what spicy really is. The pork was excellent and tri-tip was good too (tender and lean), but again the pork was so good it was stupid. The whole experience including the decor and the smell of roasting meats was just perfect. I am not a mustard fan, but their mustdard bbq sauce was making me a convert. Even though it is nearly $9.00 for a sandwich, the quality and amount of fries they give you makes it fairly priced meal. Tried the deep fried pickles, and they were a miss. This is a great place to honor the wonderful delight in tasting barbecued pork.

Pros: pork, atmosphere, sauces

Cons: only one location

Being from East Texas and remembering when (40 years ago) everyone seemed to have a large barrel BBQ grill smoking in their front yards, while generations of family members gathered on the porch taunting one another over who was the BBQ champ of the family, I have always been very disappointed when ordering BBQ from a mass appeal restaurant -- that is, until I ventured into Lucille's.

The menu is impressive and features the foods that BBQ lovers love no fancy French, Susi, or Italian stuff cluttering-up the menu here! The tender baby back ribs, smoked chicken, peach cobbler, gumbo, home made biscuits, and pulled-pork sandwich are my favorites. My wife loves the pan blackened catfish, corn bread, and red beans and rice.

Lucille's successfully combines large portions of good food with a House of Blues atmosphere to make it our BBQ eating home away from home.

Pros: Moderately priced, Large portions, Excellent food

My 6 yr Search for good BBQ is Over. After sampling just about every stand alone resturant that says it serves "BBQ" Only Lucille's lives up to that statement. The service is first rate. The menu choices are incredible as is the taste and presentation of the food. The Tri Tip is tender and juicy. The pulled pork also is tender and juicy without being overly salty. This is the only BBQ that is still excellent cold from the refrigerator the next day. A bit pricy but not overly so. If you want excellent BBQ then look no further!!!

Pros: Tender Juicy Meat, Excellent Variety, Great Service
