Reviews for Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que in Brea, CA
Barbeque foodie haven and a whiskey watering hole. Plenty of variety of whiskey and bourbon spirits to choose from to pair with... whatever smoked meat selection you choose. The manager even gave us a small lesson in how the meat gets cooked in their giantsmoker. Food was delicious. The three combo plate is enough to share for two. The ribs are spectacular! So flavorful! The mixeddrinks were refreshing with a perfect ratio of alcohol and mixer. One suggestion to the serving staff is to allow time betweenthe pre dinner drinks appetizer and actual dinner serving. We felt pretty rushed and overwhelmed when our drinks, appetizer anddinner entree all came at the same time. Didn't really have time the cool atmosphere of the restaurant, and company. Read more
We ordered the Beef Ribs and pulled pork, Trout, and Glazed Salmon. The glazed salmon didn't have much of a glaze on it, and it... was kind of dry. The trout was okay. The beef ribs were good, but could have been more tender. I think Wood Ranch or ClaimJumper's were both better. The pulled pork and the onion strings were the highlight. So, kind of a mixed bag... I'd still comeback, but probably try something different. Read more
You can never go wrong with Lucille's barbecue so many combinations that you can have everything in the menu is delicious.
All the ribs and chicken were prepared perfectly, but both the tri tip and the brisket were VERY well done, and missing the... characteristic red tint I've come to love. The tri tip was still tasty enough, but the brisket was beyond dry, and I ended upeating a single piece before throwing the rest away at home. That's 2 of the 3 items on my combo plate that were eitherdisappointing or nearly inedible. I do expect better for the price we paid, and I probably won't be coming back here when thereare so many other BBQ joints to try in the area. Read more
I've been here many times over the last 18years during work teips. Was happy to come back but the food and service was a bit... off. My teammate sent her food back and I felt the rib tips and ribs were too dry. The Hot and Spicy sauce was still goodthough! Read more
Love this place since the 1st time come here back to 2005. And still the queue took some time. The food is so good. I love the... pork ribs and the smoked beef. They are so yummy and delicious with their special sauce. Read more
This is my second trip to this spot! This time, I had the Burnt Ends and the Rib Tips, my Friend had the Rib Tips and the... Brisket. Both very good! The service was fast and friendly. The portions are huge so plan to have leftovers. You will also getfresh out of the oven biscuits with cinnamon and sugar butter to go on top, yum!! This is a gem of a spot for BBQ in SouthernCalifornia! Read more
Got the 3 meat platter $39.99 ( $3 extra for beef ribs, brisket burnt ends and brisket, it also comes with two sides (Mac n... cheese, fries) added extra side for $2.99 for extra beans. The beef ribs and burnt ends were the star dishes. The brisket wasdry and tough. The sides were pretty normal nothing special. The best is always the biscuits w/ apple cinnamon butter. The beerselection is great. Got the Pupil by Societe Brewing Co, great ipa. Next time I will stick to the beef ribs and burnt ends. Read more
