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?

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

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!

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.
