The decor to this place is really nice, seemed like the benches were recently painted because it had caution tape around them. The wait was not very long so that was cool. The servers are very personable , attractive and attentive to your needs. They have thorough knowledge of the menu and have recommendations. It had been a while since visiting a Lucille's BBQ spot. We ordered nachos and spinach dip. They both came with chips obviously. The nachos were made with brisket. They can do a better job of placing ingredients over all the chips and not just towards the middle. The spinach dip seems like it just microwaved so I wasn't to impressed. My server recommended chicken with mashed potatoes...
Baby back ribs were really over done. They were like beef jerky on the top. The beef ribs were delious. Meaty and peeled off the bones. We ordered 1/2 a dozen biscuits. They were hard as rocks like they were last week's. It's been awhile since I've been to the Cerritos location but thought it sounded good tonight. It must be hard to plan a daily menu without knowing how many customers to plan for. So I'm going to let this bad meal take out slide, in hopes that the next time I go it will be the famous Lucille's BBQ I'm a custom to enjoying. As far as the money we spent, chalk it up as a donation, trying to keep good restaurants alive.
Ok now I'll say this the meats were good the sides were ok but that Gumbo... It tasted like watery dressing the sausage was like leather the shrimp like rubber an the chicken breast pieces were big an dry stuck to your teeth when you chewed it. Pieces of bay leaf all throughout the gumbo that you have to take them out your mouth just overwhelming... Bits of hard little pieces that you can't chew.. It was very very bad I hope they read this somebody owe me a refund!!
The food at Lucille's has definitely slipped a bit over the years. I used to go once every couple weeks for the BBQ chicken sandwich. It's still good. But not nearly as good as it used to be. Maybe they just got too popular... At this point, expect a Sunday 4pm to-go order to take 2 hours to prepare and then expect some stuff to be missing from your to-go bag.
