text: A very enjoyable Barbecue chain A lot of people have suggested that I try Lucilles but my desire to do so had been low Probably because from the outside it looks like just another overpriced family restaurant Now that I have been inside it kind of gives you that impression when you walk in too There is a decent decor but there is also all that junk on the wall that gives it an Applebees kind of feel Long lines to get in mostly due to huge parties also do not help out nnFortunately the food is really good nnYou get biscuits with a side of maple butter which is quite enjoyable We started with a half order of onion straws Unless you are with a big group stick to the smaller size Even though these fried strips of onion were addicting and hard to stop eating it was still too much for just two people The BBQ ranch sauce its served with is also really good and I am not a big ranch fan nnBoth my girlfriend and I had sandwiches as our meals I went with the brisket and portabello with honey roasted peanut slaw The brisket was wonderful Not too soft like most places tend to serve it when in sandwich form Cannot say that I was a big fan of slaw Nothing special about it and the vinegar in the recipe just did not do it for me and the peanuts did not add anything to the flavor they just felt thrown in nnMy girlfriend had the Smokehouse sliders with BBQ chicken While they give you the option of pork chicken or brisket Lucilles does not let you mix and match which you want I really do not get that policy consider there is not a price difference between the meats It is not like they are smoking it up on order and if they are there is a big problem considering it takes hours to smoke meat I guess it is too hard to the kitchen staff to grab from two different places Either way she enjoyed the chicken She had a side of sweet potato fries which were really good nnLike most Barbecue chains Lucilles pimps its own sauces The three that were brought to the table were original the best loaded with flavor Hot and Spicy neither hot or spicy not bad just not close to what I was expecting and Memphis style I am not familiar with Memphis style barbecue but this was pretty much just ketchup I recommend sticking to the original nnWe chose to sit in the bar open seating and full menu to avoid a short Sunday night wait and watch the basketball game There is four big TVs placed across the bar but someone did a very bad job placing them in their spots There is a couple of support beams in the room which block the views We easily found a seat that allowed us to see the game were were interested in but my view of the TVs playing the baseball game were blockednnOverall the place is not much to look at but the food is good
