Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que

Have not been here in years because at one point you needed to pay for biscuits! I see you have now repented! Thank God! In all seriousness though - Daniel is not only hospitable, but professional. His service is excellent and anyone who can recognize true talent should promote this man immediately. May Jesus bless you sir! I appreciate good service!

Great happy hour, but the service could be better. We came in on a Sunday afternoon with 10 people, wanting to sit at the high tops in the bar. The bar area was completely empty. The hostess told us we could seat ourselves in the bar area or wait 45 minutes. We wanted to order off the happy hour menu, so we sat ourselves in the bar. For some reason the hostess seemed really annoyed by this. She dropped a bunch of menus at the table and disappeared. We had to get a happy hour menu from the bar because that was different than the menu the hostess brought us. We were told to wait for a server. About 20 minutes later the assistant manager came over to take our drink orders. We let him know we were ready to order appetizers from the happy hour menu as well. He also seemed less than thrilled. I don't know if they were just understaffed or what, but we weren't trying to be difficult. The food was delicious! I really enjoyed the fried green tomatoes and the buffalo cauliflower. The drinks were also good and the price made us happy The service left a bad taste in our mouths, but the gappy hour was really good, so we will come back and try again.

Okay so I gave in & gave them another chance but decided to order something completely different. We got the comeback fries & added brisket to them for some protein. We also got the pulled pork sandwich w/ side of veggies (super flavorful & not soggy) & bbq chicken salad.. honestly the fries & salad were 10/10. The cheese sauce on the fries was delicious & the fries weren't soggy. The salad was super refreshing and filling & I love the crispy onions on top. The meat on the pulled pork sandwich was good & I like the brioche buns they use. I would come back for the salad & loaded fries & would try a different sandwich next time Also Dylan was our server & he was great! He was super attentive & patient with helping us order; great service

If you want to visit a steakhouse that is worth your money you should try Lucille's. They have a variety of different meats and it feels very authentic. The serving is also very generous. We were quite full and we had to take out a lot of the items after. Service was a little slow because they didn't have a lot of servers available, but they were very friendly and they were very attentive and accommodated us as much as they can.

So what in the world is a vegetarian doing reviewing Lucille's smokehouse barbecue, and how did it get such a good rating from me? These are the questions. I hope to answer in this unexpected review. Lucille's has never been on my radar as a place to go but an organization I'm involved with was having a fundraiser here and I like to support. I saw there were some vegetarian options on the menu and thought at least I won't starve there. First of all, they bring you a basket of biscuits I've written reviews of breakfast and biscuit restaurants all over the country and go through many phases where I'm pretty sure most of my body is made up of biscuit. These biscuits were fantastic, slightly sweet, but not overly so, delicious with the butter they provided, and perfectly flaky in the exact way that biscuits should be. I would literally come to Lucille's just to eat these biscuits. (Since they give them to you for free, I'm not sure that's allowed... But I'm sure going to try.) I'm also a big fan of bourbon and whiskey, both neat as well as in cocktails. Their bar was well stocked with all kinds of different whiskeys and bourbons. You don't normally see at a bar. Plenty to try there, and I would definitely go back just to sit at the bar and drink whiskey. (Maybe that's enough to get me free biscuits. I had the Kentucky cooler cocktail kind of a lemony Swedish bourbon situation, which was truly delicious from first sip all the way through to the end. Alarmingly easy to drink and not sickly Sweet like some places to their cocktails. I got a couple of sides for my main including hot honey. Cauliflower bites, they're served like little wings with a tasty bread, coating them and a super delicious hot honey to dip them in. It seems like every place is offering some kind of cauliflower situation to vegetarians... This was one of the best ones I've had. Truly a southern dish that fit right into the rest of the menu. The other side I got was country fair corn pudding topped with butter and, as a vegetarian, I'm not limited to sides either... though there are plenty more of those to choose from that suit, my diet. They've also got a "Callin' All Vegan's Back Porch Bowl." - not 100% my jam, but it's nice that they offer it. As a fan of the food and vibe of Southern cuisine, I do wish there was a vegetarian version of their braised greens, and I would be over the moon if they found some way to do a plant-based meat barbecue situation of any kind... That would wildly seal the deal. But they've also got okra cheddar cornbread loaded, mashed potatoes, roasted Street, corn, garlic, mashed potatoes, mac & cheese, and a few more, so the idea that I might starve here is just not a possibility. I would definitely come back to Lucille's to drink, eat sides, and enjoy those fine, fine biscuits. Well done Lucille's, you made this vegetarian pretty happy.
