thank goodness they put another lucille's around this area, because the one at the long beach town center is always TOO busy. The food, of course, is very good and fulfilling. very clean, fun environment, and great service!

Lucille's  4 Star Rating - Very good

By David K. | insider_expert Insider Expert | Rank: 6,374

Lucille's Bar B Que has absolutely amazing ribs! The spicey BBQ sauce is also absolutely to die for. Be sure to buy a bottle on your way out.

Lines can indeed get long during peak times such as during weekend dinners. But during lunch times, there is hardly any wait at all.

Meals aren't on the cheap side; but this is a BBQ house, so you can't expect a mcdonald's price meal.

Some of the Tastiest Ribs  4 Star Rating - Very good

By Mary B. | insider Insider | Rank: 18,081

It's a real old fashioned BBQ ribs joint, smokehouse and all. The babyback ribs are smoked for long periods of time, not boiled like some restaurants serve them. They also offer 3 types of BBQ sauce from mild to spicy. I also liked the variety of side dishes I could have, like southern fried greens, coleslaw, beans and vegetables, besides the usual fare of fries and corn. Everything was yummy and I plan to go back again and again!

PROS: Tasty ribs and side dishes were a treat to find in southern California.
CONS: Wait for my dinner to arrive was a bit long.

Great American BBQ! 4 Star Rating - Very good

By KarinnaZ

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
Cons: What are the drawbacks?

OVERPRICED SO SO BBQ 1 Star Rating - Unsatisfactory

By EXCHEFLB

Way overpriced BBQ. Its alright if your that hungry.

Just didn't care for the flavor and textures they offered.

Save your coins, there are alot better Rib Joints for a much lower price tag.

Who would have thought someone could spend 90.00 on simple dinner for 2. Ribs, chicken, 2 sides, 2 ice teas and an appetizer!

Will save my money next time

Pros: NONE
Cons: OVerPriced Mediocre BBQ

Freshest and most Flavorful BBQ - Western Ave and 105th in Los Angeles 5 Star Rating - World class

By MotherofOne

When I tell you this is the best BBQ that I have tasted...I ain't lyin'. Old Fashion Flavor BBQ never lets me down when I'm in the mood for some Q. I can even go there and get some turkey neck soup with some kicken hot sauce to make my cold non-existent. If you are an early lunch person you might even catch the cook outdoors on the grill around 11AM. Not into pork? The menu is complete with chicken, chicken and beef links, sliced beef, turkey necks and sides that'll get you hummin' - slaw, mac salad, bbq baked beans, green beans and potato salad. Don't you dare visit Los Angeles and not stop by Old Fashion it's about 5 minutes from Los Angeles Southwest College.

Old Fashion Flavor BBQ
