Lucille's Smokehouse -b-que - Temecula

First and foremost, the service was excellent. However, I found the prices to be a bit high. The BBQ was average overall.

Despite the crowd inside the restaurant, the host seated me almost immediately. My wife and friends soon joined me at our spacious booth, which could comfortably fit six people. However, I immediately noticed that the tile floor under our table was extremely greasy and slippery. Concerned about slipping when getting up, I asked someone at the front if they could send someone to clean it. A young woman came over and mopped the floor, but it still felt a bit slick. Not the best start. Another downside was the layout of the main dining area, which felt like a vast open hall. It was loud, especially on such a busy day, making it feel like we were in a giant fishbowl. On the bright side, our server was excellent throughout the evening! She quickly brought us our drinks—iced teas and water—as well as a basket of their tasty sugar biscuits with apple-cinnamon butter. Once we finished those, she promptly brought us another batch! We had a $50 gift card to use, so we decided to treat ourselves. Each couple shared three types of meat: pulled pork, tri-tip burnt ends, along with two sides—mac and cheese, which was a bit small, and some very good creamy coleslaw. The pulled pork was definitely the standout, especially when mixed with the coleslaw. The tri-tip came in second; it may have been slightly overcooked, but it was still incredibly tender. Unfortunately, the burnt ends were not cooked long enough; when properly prepared, they should have a nice blackened exterior, making them tender and yielding that deliciously crispy bark. Overall, despite a few hiccups, we enjoyed a really tasty dinner!

I didnt like my dish, the jambalaya, but absolutely give them 5 stars! First of taste can be subjective and I could tell the quality of it was good but not my taste. What completely impressed and one me over if waiter noticed I wasn't really eating it. Explained didn't really like the taste but that was ok it was what I ordered and was no fault of the kitchen, he practically insisted on making me something different. Changed the order to a 2 meat bbq with brisket and pulled pork which was perfectly done and amazing tasting. I highly recommend and will absolutely return.

I visited this location for the first time, and I was pleasantly surprised by the short wait time to be seated, especially compared to other places. The host staff was also very friendly. My food arrived quickly. While the ribs were a bit overcooked, the pulled pork was flavorful, and the portion size was generous. I ordered BBQ chicken, but I prefer to apply the sauce myself at the table using the bottles they provide, as I think it enhances the flavor. The loaded mashed potatoes were delicious, and the macaroni and cheese was good too.

Last week was our first time eating here and I’ll definitely be coming back very soon . Our waiter was such a kind gentleman with a huge heart , he made our visit there so worth the while . The food was DELICIOUS, and my son got a complimentary dessert for graduating it was just a nice way to end our evening !
