Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que

"I’ve been to the one in Tustin many times and ordered the same items. Somehow, the meat was dry and tasteless here. The service and ambiance were great though. Not sure why the meat was so bad. The non-meat items were great."

"The food was a little disappointing, especially the baby back ribs, which were tough and chewy. Brisket was pretty good, and chicken wasn't too bad, though a little dry. The coleslaw was too sweet for my taste, but it might be desirable to others. Service was adequate, a little too quick to want to clear the table when it was evident we were still eating, but nothing horrible happened. Waitstaff overall were pleasant and competent. As for the atmosphere, there isn't any kind of ambiance, more like a "diner" than anything else. I wouldn't warn anyone off the place, but I wouldn't recommend it either."

""Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que in Lake Forest is like a BBQ party with a side of fun! The Southern comfort food and great smokehouse atmosphere make it a must-visit. The jalapeño sausage was so good, it had me saying 'Ziggy Ziggy Yum Yum'! My girlfriend was in meat heaven, and the service was so amazing, it was like the cherry on top of a smoky, flavorful cake. Plus, with classic blues playing in the background, it's like your taste buds are jamming to the beat!""

"This place needs to step up their customer service it was absolutely trash. I waited 45 minutes for banana pudding. other people picking up orders waited over an hour. Whoever the manager is needs to seriously be let go cause there Time management is non existent. So many better establishments than this place off El Toro. No one up front kept going to the back, got lost for like twenty minutes, Took our names of our respected orders, but brought orders out for no one that was there. This place is a joke!!"

"Enjoyed the bar seating. Restaurant was clean and the staff was attentive. The only bad thing was the onion shoe strings, cold and oily so not freshly cooked."
