We had a great experience at Lucille’s in Tempe. The food was excellent, exactly what you hope for from a solid BBQ spot. Everything we ordered was flavorful, well prepared, and came out hot and fresh. You can tell they take pride in what they serve.
Our server was a lot of fun and really added to the night. Friendly, attentive, and engaging without being over the top. Service like that makes a big difference and turns a good meal into a great one.
The atmosphere is also a standout. Lucille’s has that warm, lively Southern vibe that makes you want to stay awhile. It feels welcoming and energetic without being chaotic.
The only thing I miss is the live music. It stopped during the pandemic and hasn’t come back. If I could offer one suggestion to management, it would be to bring it back. This is Lucille’s. Live music fits the brand, the food, and the whole experience. It would take an already great restaurant and make it even better.
Overall, still a fantastic place for BBQ in Tempe, and we’ll absolutely be back.

I am truthfully very biased coming from Texas, but this BBQ was just alright at best. They made a very big fuss about how long they slow cook the meat and how flavorful and amazing it is. But our brisket was dry and overcooked, and the ribs were greasy and bland (we got both the pork & spare ribs). It’s definitely not the worst BBQ I’ve had, especially this far into the desert, but I would NOT pay the price that we paid for this meal and I would not recommend it. The sugar-covered biscuits were pretty good though.
Additionally, they messed up our bill pretty awkwardly after we had already paid. A party member ordered a combo meal for two that came with a dessert, but for some reason, the restaurant had to ring up the items separately instead of paying as one big chunk. This led to the dessert item being left off the bill, meaning the waitress came back after the bill had already been paid with a NEW bill that also needed to be paid (giving us a $125 bill after the $115 one, instead of just giving a separate $10 bill or better yet, including the dessert price in the original meal item cost). I don’t know if that makes sense or is confusing, but we were all equally as confused.
To top it off, after all that fiasco, they forgot our to-go dessert (that came with the meal) and we had to wait a while for it to come out. The poor waitress was so apologetic.
All that being said, the staff here were incredible. Our waitress was very sweet and highly attentive. She helped us find the perfect menu items for our party and was on top of requests left and right. She did her best to help us have a good time, and worked very hard to try and correct the bill fiasco.
I wouldn’t come back here since I live near better, cheaper, more easily accessible BBQ, but if this is all that’s around you, then just stick to the cheap menu items.

Second time visited this restaurant! Loved the pulled pork and pulled chicken! This time tried the baby beef rib, also good!! Also tried Southern fried chicken, the gravy is a bit thick and salty, but the chicken is really soft and good! Also like the Jambalaya rice very much, the ingredients and spices are special and good! The services there are perfect, friendly and nice! Parking spots are convenient! Will visit again!

Lucille’s is going down hill fast. I ordered the brisket and I was shocked at what they gave me. This meat must have been sitting out for hours to get this dry. I do not recommend going here because there are many other BBQ places in the valley that won’t serve you leather.

Great beef ribs and brisket enough for two! Awesome service from Daniel! Messy but extremely good food! Hot towels too!

Never been to Texas/the south to try their brisket/bbq, but this place is definitely good! I’ve never had such good food at bbq places here in the valley, but this took first spot immediately. Giant sodas served in mason jars, bread to start and the food was delicious. I especially liked the cheddar sausage as the cheese literally oozed out. Took a family member here and they also agreed, we plan to take our whole family here because it was just that good.

Always a consistent experience. I eat here a few times a year maybe. It really doesn’t chnage. The food is always great and the service is always amazing, staff is very friendly and attentive.

I have been here many times was slightly disappointed on the street corn traditional street corn has sauce and cheese and tajin etc. the grilled taste severely over powered the actual taste of the corn. The burnt ends were not crispy and was more soft fat. Part of the meat that was in it was good. The brisket was amazing and the salmon was good and the mac n cheese. Biscuits and butter to die for.

Still my favorite BBQ chain anywhere and they proved me feelings correct once again! The beef ribs are what keeps me coming back as they are huge and delicious and can’t find need ribs like these anywhere. And their spicy BBQ sauce is so good I had to buy another bottle to take back to NM with me along with extra ribs – I just wish I had bought two bottles as half is already gone. The grilled corn on the cob is amazing, but fair warning, it does come with cotija cheese on it, which I was not aware of as it didn’t before, so if you don’t want that, be sure to mention it. But they were kind enough to being out a new pair for me without it, so no harm no foul and kuddos to the manager for that! Love this place and def will return next time I’m in Phoenix!
