Lucille's Smokehouse Bbq - Long Beach

Lucille is a great option for BBQ lovers. The restaurant is quite large and has a quite festive atmosphere. When I left, it was packed with people everywhere. There is a bar area where you can eat BBQ while watching the TV and drinking some beer. In my opinion, the atmosphere as a whole is very beautiful. Even though there were many people, the turnover rate was fast due to the great amount of people and the speed they deliver for you. The menu offers a wide range of BBQ related foods. It makes me happy to see a place that has south fried chicken, gumbo, ribs, tri-tip, brisket, steak, salads with BBQ meat in it, and many other treats. I ordered the BBQ ribs (natural and it was quite delicious. It comes with two sides, from which I got creamy cheeses and macaroni and cheese. They accidentally gave me garlic potatoes instead of Mac and cheese, but they compensated for it by giving me fast as I had to hold the potato. But it wasn't really important because the Mac and the cheese weren't too big. But the potatoes were delicious, and the Gries were indeed gritty. The salads looked sweet because it has many meat and onion rings over it. The restaurant seems very difficult to try to satisfy the customers. They do this through generous portions, fast service (food come like 5 minutes or less I think!) and attention to small details. For example, they offer Lollipops free to eat during waiting, have glasses as cups, etc. The food is a bit expensive, so you better get a nice watt of cash. A 4.5-star restaurant.

Lucille's is OK for a must now have BBQ desire, but it can't compare with Johnny Reb's or Chicago For Ribs. The food is best moderate, with most of it tasted as if it was mass-prepared in the morning, and warmed again after order. In addition, the waiting time for a table is ridiculous – usually at least one hour.

It is close to Jonny Rebbs, Napels Ribbs Lucille’s The Winner from a rib Lucilles on Carson st. The first in the chain and by far the best. Good service fun, and the ribs are killers. Try one of the Combos Back Porch, lateral veranda, frozen veranda . more than you can eat alone.
