New Location in Temecula.
I go where the passion behind the food speaks for itself! Lucille's has perfected BBQ and if you are looking for great homestyle American food, this is the place to go!! Originally opened in 1999 in Long Beach, California, Lucille's now has 13 locations in 3 states! I heard the news about a grand opening down in Temecula at the Promenade and rushed over on a Friday night.
We ordered the Grilled Artichoke for starters with a cold brew for him and a Pom Martini for me! My favorite cocktail here: the Cucumber Mojito! YES! Try it, it's so refreshing! My friend had some tender Tri Tip and Baby Back Ribs--he was impressed!
Honestly! How many restaurants do you find that proudly display their smoker in the dining room? Not too many. I loved the 60's style decor, great music, friendly staff, and awesome down home comfort foods! They make everything from scratch including those amazing Homemade Biscuits and Apple Butter!
My only regret is that I didn't stay for a full entre?..but I'll be back very soon to try that Portobello Mushroom Burger the Chef recommended! Chances are, there is a Lucille's near you, so check it out next time you're in the mood for great BBQ!
Pros: Example: best croissants in town
