If you don’t mind paying a premium for Southern-style BBQ from a restaurant chain, Lucille’s is a fun and satisfying destination.
The Locale:
Located right off the 57 Freeway on Imperial Highway, this Lucille’s is clean with an enjoyable aesthetic. It’s made to look like a mid-20th century smokehouse.
The Service:
The entire wait staff is friendly and competent, but our server, Erika, was exceptional. She made excellent recommendations, was quick to respond, and brought what we needed even before we asked for it. I can’t compliment her enough.
The Food:
My dad and I shared the Feast for Two package in which you pick an appetizer, entree, and dessert from a set menu. We chose fried onion strings for the starter, pork belly, sausage, and baby back ribs for the main course, and chocolate cake for the dessert.
The fried onions were good but were so intertwined like Velcro that it was hard not to spill some eveytime we tried to pull a few strings off the plate. The pork belly was moist with a nice layer of fat (that’s a good thing with this choice!). The baby back ribs were solid. And the sausage was genuinely spicy and juicy.
Oddly enough the chocolate cake was too sweet and not dense or moist at all; it fell apart every time I tried to cut a piece off.
My wife orders the country fried steak, which was yummy. Her veggie sides were just average though.
The Price:
This is where it hurts. The price of everything on the menu has seen to gone up since the last time I visited. Including tip and taxes, our meal for 3 people came out to be more than $100. This means fewer visits for us overall per year. Bad for us, bad for their business.
The Conclusion:
Lucille’s offers a fun vibe and mostly delicious Southern-style food. But a few average dishes and the steep prices make Lucille’s a place I would only go to for special occasions.

I ordered the Family Meal for Four and upgraded the meat to two full racks of baby back ribs (+$9.50 each).
When I opened the box, I honestly felt uncomfortable seeing the ribs already cut up. They were sliced into small pieces, about one or two bones each, which I really didn’t like. Since the meat itself was quite dry, it made the presentation feel even more disappointing. Not a single piece was tender or juicy.
Considering the overall menu and portion, the price was reasonable.
Next time, I’ll definitely ask them not to cut the ribs.

We came here on a Friday around 3pm. I ordered ribs and tri-tip. The Tri-tip was dried out like it was sitting ubder a heat lamp for a long time. The ribs covered thick with bbq sauce and were just ok. Cole slaw i didn’t care for, butthe corn bread was good. Service was good. The inside was kind of a cool Southern Country type of ambiance.The price is high considering the quality of the food. If you’re just looking for good BBQ there are better places around.

What a treat. Deviled eggs and onion straws were great way to start.! That combined is crazy good and sure to please taste buds you forgot about.
Ribs were deli-cious. Cooked perfectly. Didn’t even need to add sauce, but had to play in all 3 flavors, for sport!
The bartender is very professional, cool and etiquette you don’t see in many fine restaurants. He’s the real deal.
Thanks for an amazing experience, on the way to work I go, large and bbq charged!

Ordered 1/3 rack of ribs with 2 sides & a biscuit to go. With tax & tip $33. Price a little high but I splurged. Staff was great, attentive, checked to make sure everything was in the bag. Sides & biscuit so good. But ribs were dry, like beef Jerky. This is why I rarely splurge at places like this. Was not worth it!

The food, service and atmosphere is really good and at a reasonable price. This is my third time eating at Lucille’s and each time has been consistently good. We all have our favorite BBQ place; however, Lucille’s offers very good BBQ with lots of menu options, a large bar and a facility that can accommodate small to large groups.

Out shopping with wifey and we decided on Lucille’s for late lunch early dinner. Was looking forward to tasty tender BBQ. The service was great. All the staff was super friendly and the wait times were relatively small. Granted we were eating at that glorious hour before the dinner rush. The biscuits are still great. Loved drizzling honey on mine. The pork belly ends are great. Tasty served with crisp butter pickles on a slice of toast – yum yum. The trip tip. Well that didn’t meet the expectation. Was a little dried out. Not tough and chewy just not pull a part tender. Overall a still a great place to meet up with friends or have a nice meal. The sound track is great. Really good music selection.

I’ve been a loyal customer of Lucille’s in Brea for over 20 years, and this was by far the most disappointing experience I’ve ever had there.
My family and I came in for New Year’s Eve lunch and noticed that many of the items we usually order were missing from the menu. When the waiter came by, he explained it was a holiday menu. I acknowledged what he said and mentioned—politely—that it didn’t include a lot of the food we normally enjoy. His response was completely unprofessional and shocking. He said, “The Lazy Dog is down the road, just saying, and if you decide to leave you can use that exit door.”
We were stunned. No customer should ever be spoken to that way, especially after decades of loyalty. Another waitress overheard part of the exchange and came over to apologize, which I appreciated, but by then the damage was done. We left and went to Lazy Dog, where we were treated with respect and had a great meal.
I never expected to be dismissed so rudely at a place I’ve supported for over two decades. Sadly, this experience has made me reconsider returning to this location.

Just paid $70 for my wife and I to eat 1/3 of our food and go home and sit on the toilet blowing it out. Simply put, the 2 stars is only for the music being played. Filthy table, bad service, and terrible food. That was our last time there.
