According to the well-publicized restaurant lore, this original Long Beach restaurant and the other non-LA locations it has spawned were named after Lucille Buchanan, a sassy lady who brought her granny's barbecue recipe all the way from the unnamed Southern backwoods where she grew up. A mix of lore and family-oriented dining make for strange bedfellows: The restaurant prominently features flying pigs in aviator wear, paintings of bucolic scenes of pre-World War II black South, and a display smoker which proclaims, "Tru Bar-B-Que cain't use no trickery, jus' sweet smoke from apple & hickory."
Questionable dcor aside, the barbecue is the best you're likely to find in Long Beach. And with a bar and two floors of seating, Lucille's provides for a better dining experience than your average cramped BBQ joint. There are also plenty of booths, so you won't have to worry about bringing along the whole family. And note for the holidays: if you don't feel like channeling your inner grill master, Lucille's caters.

REDBONELA - 09/14/2008The biscuts are the best!
Everything on the menu is great!Add CommentTasty & crowded
VIENLAW - 07/25/2008
Although I've had better, this food is consistently good, reasonably priced, generously portioned, and served in a fun and relaxed venue, which considering the nature of the food served, is essential.
It is a a half an hour drive from my home, but I have gone back many times, so it must wroth it.- EdwardEChavez - 07/09/2008
best chicken
PSlavich - 07/05/2008They have the best chicken I have ever eaten in a restaurant. It is even better without the BBQ sauce. The portions are large enough that my wife orders only a salad and eats part of my order, and we still do not have room for dessert.
YEEHAW!
FSSafier - 06/30/2008Smoky, sweet and not tooo tangy ribs. Killer coleslaw, potato salad and sweet potatoes. The only negative for me was the VERY long wait for a table. The servers were great and the music made it just perfect.
com'on, it a chain restaurant.
pigsaidoink - 06/28/2008Lucille's is a chain of rib's house.
so there can be no fresh ideas out of the kitchen.
they have a menu that must be fallowed. and that (imho) is what will keep Lucille's from being really great.
BUT
it is good.
BBQ is tender,tasty, the sauce is very nice.
RMCC1334 - 06/26/2008THE WORST
