Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ

Too Expensive. Recently, my family and I went to Lucille's in Brea. We hadn't been there for some time so this was going to be a treat for us. We were shocked at how expensive this restaurant has become. Their prices use to be a little on the pricy side but manageable, but now they are outrageous.

In this bad economy, you'd think eating establishments would seriously consider cutting back on charging customers an 'arm and a leg' for their meals. But the opposite seems to be happening.

Lucille's is so-so. Service is a slight cut above average and their food is also. But for what they're charging for meals, we don't think we'll be going back. My advice to Lucille's, "Bring down your prices." Now-a-days, many families are in the same boat as we are, and with the prices Lucille's charges, makes it almost impossible to eat there unless one plans on taking on a second (or third, or fourth) job.…

Good Time Every Time!. i ordered the full rack of baby back ribs with garlic mashed potatoes and macaroni and cheese. The garlic mashed potatoes was just the way I like them, VERY garlicy. The biscuits and spread were really good! The spread was so good I just about used up all that they gave us for half the biscuit!

The best part was that I had leftovers!! I will definitely be coming back!…

Rotting wood and cockroaches, oh my!. The first time I was here about 10 months ago with my girlfriend. We were seated upstairs. Everything was great until right after we ordered our food. A cockroach ran across my girlfriends toes! She jumped up and screamed as it scurried across the floor and back into the huge gap between the wall and carpet near the stairs. The best part is the manager shows up and acts like it is not a big deal (it IS a big deal)!!!!!!

Our server was nice, so we left her a tip, but did not eat our meals (the manager "comped" them, and our appetite's were ruined).

So I start to look into this place more. The wallpaper looks moldy, and I wouldn't be surprised if the walls were too. (Did I mention both times I went there it was raining and there were buckets everywhere to catch the water? Can you say rotten wood?)

I end up going back a couple weeks ago for a work party. 10 months later and the buckets are still there! Do we not care one bit about appearance and health concerns????

The more questions I asked the more horrified I got. I have heard from an employee that for a few days maggots were falling out of the ceiling in the kitchen where the Takeout orders were prepared. Where is the board of health on this place?????…

Do not order take out. In fact, don't go at all.. Ordered take out for 10 people through the website. Pick up sceduled for 11 AM. Arrived for pick up and the order was not filled. They had the order in their notebook . This was a 300.00 dollar order. They did get the food out in about 20 minutes. Unfortunately, when I arrived at my destination with it it was not complete. Included was suppose to be 4 whole chickens. What I received was 2 half breasts, the rest leg and thighs. I did not order chicken pieces. I ordered 4 whole chickens. I can't say much for the tri tip either. I will stick to the Long Beach Town Center restaurant. I should have read the other reviews before ordering from this mediocre establishment .…
