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.

The Best BBQ I have every had...I go to the one in Brea near the Cheesecake factory and I tell you from time to time when I have time to take my wife out it is a favorite! Read more

Make reservations if you have kids, they will sit you in the bar or near the smoker if you walk in with kids under 5. Ask to be sat in the back or upstairs..

The Back Porch is a massive amount of food, and all of it good. The Loaf of Onion Rings is EXCELLENT and lets not forget about the Sweet Tea .

For California, the place does smoked beef , pork , and fowl well . The burnt ends don't live up to Arthur Bryant's- but they do the best of anyplace closer.

Tri tip was melt in your mouth amazing and you cannot go without eating one of their biscuits with speciality butter!
