I've been a repeat customer for many months now. I love the Beer Garden with music guests. Nice tiered seating so everyone can see the musicians. Good acoustics too. The staff is beyond friendly and keep moving, so there's little wait for drink or food orders. I really like the selections on the food menu and have tried several things. There's also an indoor bar and restaurant.
I saw the fried chicken on the menu and I thought I have to try this place. My wife and I enjoyed a nice, relaxing Friday lunch before an afternoon stroll in Benicia. We started with Deviled Eggs w/ Duck Prosciutto. Then we had a Beet Salad and Seared Ahi Salad. We shared the Fried Chicken. The flavors of the dishes all blended well together and the portions were generous. The fried chicken was crunchy and very juicy, and it more than satisfied my craving. A nice restaurant find for a spur of the moment outing.
Found ourselves in downtown Benicia around dinner time and didn't want to spend a lot of money. Most places were quite a lot of money. We walked by Lucca and it smelled amazing. Fried food? Something else? We didn't know, but checked the menu and saw BLT for only $11 and it included steak fries. What a BLT! My daughter and I were able to share one and it filled us up. If the other food is as substantial and delicious we are excited to come back.
I didn't grab a pic... I ordered their burger. It was one of the best I have ever had! Thick, juicy, not greasy. I ordered it well done, no bun, not a problem here. I've worked in a butcher shop, I know the dangers of undercooked ground beef. I got a side salad to go with it. Ice tea was refreshing. The other 3 enjoyed their lunches as well...fish & chips, BLT, and a French dip. We will return!
What a surprising little find. This restaurant, tucked away in a quaint downtown area has a "just-right" size menu, a charming, rustic atmosphere, amazing food, and attentive and friendly staff. I would definitely recommend.
Nice evening of wine and dinner in outdoor Garden Area seating with music; ribs were tasty, but quite spicy. Fish and chips and brisket were very good!
