I loved my experience here! I was visiting from indiana for a convention and was craving some bbq and it did not disappoint! My waitress was super helpful in guiding me threw the menu! I hope they bring this to the Midwest because I have to have this again!
Had the 2 meat combo plate. The baby back ribs were spot on, the bbq chicken was awesome! My side was the garlic mashed potatoes.-Great as well. Service was good too!
Serious BBQ. Will come here every trip I make to this area. High recommend it to any BBQ fan. Love the burnt ends the most. Really enjoy the ability to order online and just pick it up.

Good bbq served quick. BBQ is pretty sad in the OC. Certainly up on the north end. Except for Beachwood which I love, I haven't really found a stand alone place that I think makes good BBQ - all have their quirks. But Beachwood is both far away and would turn me into an alcoholic if I regularly went there with all their great beer choices.
So that leaves the new chain in town. Every time I have had Lucille's I have really enjoyed it. It would probably be very middle-of-the-road in a real BBQ heavy area but for here it is pretty damned good.
So I was happy to discover this new quick casual version of the chain that is in building that once housed the old Hof's Hut next to Crystal Cathedral. They have done a great job of remodeling this to look like part of the Lucille's family. As we entered there was a sign offering table service in the lounge (which looks well stocked and has happy hours during about half the time they are open) or counter service and seat yourself.
We opted for counter service and since I had a 2 fer coupon we went with the big daddy assortment of meats - ribs, pulled pork and brisket. It comes with one side, corn bread and a pickle. Way too much lunch but I wanted to taste as many meats as I could.
I love their ribs, only quibble is I'd like a slightly less sweet glaze but it is probably to the popular taste. But the crust and tender meat inside is perfect. The pulled pork and brisket were also classic BBQ with a noticeable smoke ring on the brisket. Nice amount of smokiness.
I sense this is a test store for a new concept for them. If so I heartily approve.
I am so glad I found this place on urbanspoon. They had delicious BBQ sandwiches and wonderful sides. The prices were very reasonable and the restuarant was very clean and well organized. The service was lightning quick. My kids both loved their meals too. A nice change from the overpriced Disney food. A very close drive from the park. We will be back on our next trip to Disneyland.
I love this place! Order at the counter like fast food, grab a table and they being it out, fast! The only thing not like a fast food place is the taste. The portions are generous, enought to share, and the price is reasonable, even better because you don't tip. Same great BbQ and salads as the larger Lucille's,
In town for business and my colleague brought me here for lunch. You can’t go wrong with bbq.
We ordered the fried onion straws and it was crispy. I ordered their lunch 2 meat special and got the brisket and pulled pork with loaded baked potato. All I gotta say is that it was delicious.
Also the biscuit with cinnamon butter was sweet and good. The sweet tea drink was refreshing as well.
I went here with my family during our Thanksgiving vacation, and it was great. The waitress was friendly and joyful. The wait was super short for getting a table, and for the food, I loved the ambience, it was relaxing and not too noisy. The adult drinks were not the best, but proportions were huge! And dont get me started on the food! It was soo tender and flavorful, as the mashed potatoes packed a punch with flavor with great texture, one of the best I have ever tasted. It is absolutely a top recommendation if you are in the area!!!
Great experience here. If you are familiar with the Lucille"s brand, this location is off brand. I say off bra d because the interior feature and design are not typical, as you may have experienced at other locations.
Except for the interior motif , the menue is spot on, and we found the service here excellent.
Visited this place on a whim, and got to say I was not disappointed.
Had the Jambalaya, Pork Tip ribs, Okra and the mash potato with two cocktails.
The food arrived very fast, which made me think maybe it wouldn't be as good but boy was i wrong.
The jambalaya was well seasoned and had a nice kick and you could tell the ingredients used were good quality.
The mash was seasoned and had bacon and spring onion, it was very moreish and I could have ate it all day.
The okra was really nice. It's something I've found restaurants struggle to get right but both me and my partner agreed it was very good.
The tip ribs...just wow. There home made BBQ sauce was just delicious. It was sweeter then I would usually like but I couldn't get enough of it.
Service was fantastic from all staff, didn't have to wait long for food and drink at all. Our waitress was very attentive and gave recommendations as well. If I am ever back in the US and in that area I will certainly be going back.
This place was outstanding. First we arrived and were told it would be a 40 minute wait. We didn't mind because it was Saturday at 630pm. They took my number and texted me 24 minutes later that our table was ready. The younger guy that seated us was super friendly. Our server, Mary, was awesome. She was busy but very good at her job. Our drinks stayed full. Our food came out quickly. She checked on us regularly, and was very nice as well. We have been in the area a few days and this was by far our best dining experience this trip. The pulled pork nachos were epic. The jalapeno cheese sausage was outstanding and the beef ribs were superb. Everything we had was great. Thank you! Keep it up!
Had the 1/2 chicken smoked really did not need bbq sauce. At the end of the meal you get a hot towel to clean off with. Curtis my waiter was helpful with my selection since this was my first time. Will be back
This restaurant is at a great location. We were able to walk to it from our hotel. Some of the prices were a bit expensive BUT that is because the portion sizes are large. We were able to get seated (2 of us) within five minutes of arriving (Saturday night around 6). The décor was very fun, the booths spacious, and a nice little bar.
I only made it 4 stars as I wish there had been a choice of BBQ sauces, and I wish the sauce was a bit thicker. Also the biscuits were good but I would have also enjoyed a choice of having regular butter with them that wasn't as sweet as the cinnamon butter.
Finally the staff were all wonderful BUT I could tell the restaurant makes them check in on the customers more than is necessary. I felt we were checked in on too often which was kind of annoying when you are trying to eat.
2nd visit. Beef ribs are really good and the service staff are always attentive and very pleasant.
Love their beef ribs. Just the right amount of meat on it and everything has a nice char to it and it’s not drenched in sauce so not overly sweet either. And always order the onions straws. Those are the best. Service as always is friendly like any other Lucille’s in LA. Just a short walk from the Orange Outlets.
I love the best BBQ restaurant where sandwiches, salads, and even Thanksgiving tradition meals are served every year on Thanksgiving Day.
Excellent service, our server was amazingly attentive 👍. Great family ambience! We got seating right away despite the visible line. Biscuits and butter are AMAZING!!! The Saint Louis ribs were a big portion, but were Ok, a little dry for my taste. The Southern fried catfish were crispy, but plain flavor. Our favorite dish was BBQ Combo, three meat BBQ , perfect for sharing ! Also the house IPA was good and was cold 👍👍 and their sauces were so good!! Good barbecue Sunday OMAD lunch meat meal with yummy carbs sides.
