Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que

"The best BBQ in the Country!" "Or Maybe the State." "Or maybe the whole South!" That's what folks said about the BBQ Lucille grew up eating in her Grandma's lunch shack. When Lucille moved to Long Beach, she brought her Granny's cooking with her and opened her own lunch shack.

Fjord Sak

Have to applaud them for the most delicious lemonade I have ever had. Prawn starter, and their “biscuits ” are highly recommended. Probably not the best place to go eat if you are a vegetarian :D

Jessica #LYK

Huge portions of your favorite comfort foods ! The butter they give you with your biscuits is amazing! Cinnamon butter ! Perfect on a rainy day! Or any day for that matter!

David Bradshaw

Everything is delicious here. Family style or not, the barbecue is to die for. Even the rolls with apple butter start the meal off right.

Martin D. Ciao

Not a huge fan of wet BBQ sauce as they are usually too sweet for me. However, Lucille's is pretty good. BBQ chicken and briskets were juicy and flavorful. I would definitely get the combo plate!

Thomas Li

The food is delicious! Order the BBQ Lunch Platter! It's huge and has a good price!

Jessica #LYK

Huge portions of your favorite comfort foods ! The butter they give you with your biscuits is amazing! Cinnamon butter ! Perfect and a rainy day! Or any day for that matter!

Hailey Newbry

It is so so so busy! Plan ahead if you are planning a date night because the 40 minute wait might screw up your plans... But if it does work out, try the deep-fried pickles ! Delicious (:

Peter Anargirou

Order a Muddy Waters and a delicious Back Porch . And don't forget to eat those delicious rolls with apple butter !

R Hanbali

I like the steak , was very good and tender????

Ronald Roth

Beware of amount of sugars used in the recipes of most everything they serve including salads .

Fjord Sak

I was really excited to try their famous “baked mac and cheese”, but it was a serious disappointment. The dish was a bit on the dry side and it was barely gratinanted on top - not baked at all! ????

Elana Scharf

This amazing dish came with BBQ Half Chicken , sweet potato fries and roasted mixed vegetables . Read more

Mike Williams

The BBQ is just plain awesome!! Love the biscuits and sweet tea ! And they have a great happy hour from 3-7pm, with awesome cheap appetizers .

Jim Barkley

Natalie (from Minnesota) was our excellent and attentive server. Ask to sit in her section, you'll never run out of iced tea !

Lisa Hernandez

Tri tip and pulled pork sandwiches are the best! Pairs perfectly with the rum punch !

Andrea Biasi

Try the BBQ Chicken Sandwich - Tasty and crispy . Great sandwich . An the Mac and Cheese are always goooood!

Dameon Williams

Happy hour every night from 9-close and live blues every Saturday...plus its 2 miles from the house!!!

NORMAN BRODEUR

This place is awesome. If you like barbecue ribs you will not be disappointed .

Derek Wohland

A little pricey , but well worth it. The bread is to die for.

Carrie Jaimes

We got burgers , asked for them well done and got them still pretty red inside. It took a while for our appetizer & biscuits to come. But they eventually did. Had better much better service other times

Jones

Tri tip and chicken were average. Cornbread was bad. Mashed potatoes ok. Kids liked the mac and cheese , and sauteed veggies . Biscuits were good. Stonefire grill a better option

Billy Amp

Try all their sauces on your favorite piece of meet! Amazing lemonade too.

Eric Tang

Try the Barbeque For Two - Baby Back Ribs and Tri-Tip with garlic mashed potatoes and corn bread

dee eeez

Happy hour specials are only applied in the bar area, eventhough they have the happy hour menu in the dinning area as well . :/

Kevin M

Stuffed baked potatoe is amazing... Only on the lunch menu

Hun Kim

Crocodile Cooler for the win. A tall concoction with a lotta rum including Bacardi 151. Ask to leave the grenadine out if you don't like it too sweet.

Jase Laudadio

Party of 2? 40-min wait. Party of 4? 40-min wait. 8? You guessed it... 40-min wait. So... just ignore the hostess . Your guess is as good as theirs.

Eric Tang

Try the buttermilk biscuit - The butter is amazing. Wonder what the secret ingredient is?

Jansen Granflor

Try the Back Porch Combo - St Louis ribs tritip and chicken

Ryan Austill

The Beef Tri Tip really does melt in your mouth. So delicious.

Ayman AbuZaid

Excellent food. The burgers are awesome.

The Amber Ale of course! Great good.
