History
Founded in Signal Hill, CA, in 1999, Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Cue has 19 locations across California, Arizona, and Nevada.
The restaurant was built on the culinary experiences of founder Craig Hofman, who drew from the traditions of several great restaurants from across the South.
Review
A typical Lucille’s restaurant is decked out with a Southern and Blue’s theme. Many locations offer indoor, patio, and bar seating.
Lucille’s is known for both its commitment to southern hospitality and its huge portions. A meal of chicken or beef ribs can overwhelm all but the biggest of appetites, and family meals advertised for groups of three to four could easily feed up to six. It’s a great place to eat out with a large group, often with leftovers to spare.
Its complementary buttermilk biscuits are a customer favorite; you might want to go easy on them to make room. Some of its house specialties that have been a hit with audiences include its baby back ribs, back porch (half chicken and barbecue), and St. Louis rib chops. Sides such as fried okra and baked beans are also immensely popular.
You might find their service a bit slower than average, but for many diners, it’s often worth the wait.
