Starting from a family-owned business, Lucille's BBQ has grown into an expanding restaurant chain which offers delicious plates like Pop's Beloved Fresh Pan Blackened Catfish, Southern Fried Okra and certified Angus Beef Brisket.
Through LucillesBBQ.com, you can arrange your entire evening at one of our restaurants. From arranging parties and special occasions to viewing the menu, buying some of Lucille's tasty BBQ Sauce and checking out the live blues calendar - you'll feel right at home at any of our locations.
Whether dining in or taking it to go, the slow-cooked, smoked meats at this Southern-style spot are well worth the wait--just be sure to save room for the peach cobbler.
Lucille's serve up some of the most delicious beef ribs and slice beef. If you enjoy tender, juicy beef ribs and sliced beef , then Lucille's is your place. Their sauce needs to be sold in the market as a thank you to their customers. Lucille's also have the best lemonade going and the service there is excellent!

This place is great gets busy like any other resturant at the Town Cener, but the wait is well worth it. They have a full bar that you can hang in till your name is called. Its another great place to visit on a weeknight to advoid the busy times.

I'm not really a big BBQ person. For the most part, all BBQ used to taste basically the same to me. You have your grilled meat, your sauce, and voila. Nothing a grill in the backyard can't top.
Well, all that changed when my friends took me to Lucille's to eat.
If you can get past the huge crowds, you'll find Lucille's to be a nice laid back, exceptionally good meal. My favorite entree there in the pulled pork sandwich, although the ribs are a big hit with my friends. The biscuits are also fantastic, as are the baked beans.
Portions are fairly large, so, if you're dieting, this probably isn't the place to go. A meal price ranges from $10-$20, or you can always try the Super Feast which serves probably everyone you know and costs $189.
I've never had an unfriendly server here, so, if you're looking for a relaxed atmosphere with some good 'cue, look in to heading over to Lucille's.
PROS: Fantastic food, good service.
CONS: As a result, it's always crowded.

Considering how crowded this place is at all hours of the day, the food is not that great. It came cold and expect to pay over $20 per person. Portions are large, however, so you can take home your food and microwave it. Expect to wait 1 to 2 hours for a table.

Lucille's always has a big line out front--for a good reason !
The baby back ribs fall off the bone and the tri-tip is "melt- in-your-mouth" fabulous ! If that's not enough, the biscuits are real southern style and the corn chowder is worth every delicious calorie ! The desserts are probably great too, but I'm always too full to try them ! The portions are king-sized here, so come hungry !

Met a rapper
By billshumly
I was here on a Saturday night and I met one of my favorite rappers, Chali 2na from Jurassic 5. He was really cool and I think that it made my dinner so much better. The bbq was kicking. I had the pulled pork bbq sandwich which I completely gobbled up. The waitresses were really nice and helpful. Good times here, good times.
Pros: Example: best croissants in town Cons: What are the drawbacks?

Avoid at all costs, I am dumbfounded by the number of stars here, do people know what BBQ is?

Since moving to southern California we have been looking for a decent BBQ place. This was not it. I am straight from the midwest, where we know what BBQ is. I have eaten BBQ in the Carolinas, Missouri, Texas, and everywhere in between. We tried as much as we could afford... the baby back ribs, BBQ beef ribs, and the brisket.
Both the baby back and the beef ribs were tough and dry, their sauce was at best mediocre. I found myself asking where the hickory smoked flavor was... is the smoker just for looks?! The brisket was by far the biggest disappointment. It was barely edible and we thought about returning it. It tasted like it was boiled in water, it was that bad! In my opinion you can judge a BBQ place by the brisket... Lucille's failed miserably.
The staff was classic California poor, our drinks sat empty for 10-15 minutes.
The sides were also terrible. The BBQ baked beans had some sort of funk to them (and not the good kind). The mac & cheese tasted like rubbery noodles in a yellow playdoh sauce. The baked potato and the sweet potatoes were fine, but then again you can't mess those up too much.
I am writing the review I wish I would have read prior to going to this restaurant, hopefully it wards off some unsuspecting victim who has decent taste in BBQ from visiting this place.
My non-California raised friends and I have sadly developed a new way of describing things... whenever we say something is "good" we now have to follow it with "well for California". Lucille's isn't even good by these new handicapped standards.
Pros: none Cons: price, taste, people, parking, service, loud, crowded, no AC in most of restaurant

Best Tri Tip in Town!
By crushingair89
I love their homemade biscuits with apple butter. I hate waiting over 15 minutes for a table. Especially when I have a movie to catch. So I go to the bar, and order anything from the full menu there! If you are on a budget and don't want to spend twenty bucks for Tri Tip, then get the Tri Tip sandwich and you get just enough to be happy, remember you get biscuits as well! If you are not on a diet, please order the bread pudding, it is delicious! Also, their lemonades are thirst quenching! Enjoy!
Pros: Tasty home cooking, southern food. Family style dining for large groups! Cons: Long waiting time for large groups.

Good BBQ
By hambonejackson
Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ is the best BBQ I have ever tasted. Great food, great prices, and great big portions. I recommed Lucille's for people who like to eat a lot.
