A: Uhhh...when is this place open? I can't find hours anywhere and for a 3rd time we tried to go here this past weekend and again.....not open. WTF?!? I am a Vegan living in Phoenix and need to get in here! It's wrong that I have not been here at least a handful of times but everytime we have tried(Friday evening, Saturday afternoon, Thursday evening) over the course of the last 6 months it has been closed. It got 2 stars instead of 1 because it's a vegetarian house in Phoenix, nuff said. Maybe someone will read this and open this place espcially for me so I can stuff my face and change my review to 5 stars, that is what I am hoping for anyway.
Q: negative

A: Very disappointed! My carne asada burrito was cold, the meat dry and tough and slightly crunchy! Only ate it because I was starving and out shopping and needed some fuel. Please don't waste your money here, it is not worth it.
Problem: What would be an example of an negative (OPTIONS:

- positive) review?

Answer: While the restaurant was smaller and darker than I'm used to, this has nothing to do with my 2 star rating. I cannot be sure, but my review is mostly based on the manager on the clock at about 12:15pm, right during the lunch rush. I can understand being new at a job, we have all been there, but why make the newest person on the team (and if he isn't the newest he is just the slowest) run the bread/start station? There were clearly faster workers further down the line who would regularly go out to the dining room and clean up. Also, the entire time we were there (more than 30 minutes) she, the manager, was sitting at a table by herself, earbuds plugged into her phone and text book open. This was the lunch rush! Not only wasn't she helping, but she was taking up one of a few available tables. When she was needed she would shake her head unapprovingly and walk over to help. At any given time there were anywhere from 3-6 people waiting in line to give their order, terrible managerial skills in my opinion. She was focused on herself and would only take time to help when absolutely needed, or she would take a break to bark orders to the employees who were working their tails off. We went to this location because it was slighly closer to where we work, but will not again return. In addition, it would seem their toaster is on too high, both our subs came out hard and crispy. There is a location about 3 miles west on Mcdowell of this location, I would recommend going there anyday over this location.

Output: We really wanted to like Lucille's, really, we did. I married a Southern boy, so as I was reading the online menu to him, he decided he really wanted to go. Unfortunately for Lucille's, we've already been to Bobby Q's and Lucille's just does not stack up. DRINKS: Hubby had an interesting dark beer made by Albita Ale in Louisiana (although our server mistakenly said it was from Mississippi) called Turbo Dog which had some rich coffee tones. I am not usually a dark beer drinker, but I liked it too. I had the sweet tea which was served in a big mason jar with a sprig of fresh mint. It was sweet, but not LoLo's sweet (God love ya' LoLo's, but you're not exactly helping prevent the diabetes!) and that's a good thing. APPETIZERS: Hubby just had to have him some fried okra. I tried two pieces to be a good sport, but the interior texture is something I just can't get over. He thought it was delicious and preferred the mustard dipping sauce over the spicy ranch. We were also served some biscuits (which we both felt were also made with some corn meal and this made them a little tougher) and some "apple butter" which was not really apple butter, but rather some sweetened butter tinged with cinnamon. Not impressive. MEAT: Hubby had the brisket and I had the tri-tip. The brisket is so far superior at Bobby Q's in terms of tenderness. Lucille's wasn't awful, though, and the "mop sauce" which is different from the three sauces that were in bottles on the table (original, Memphis, and Hot & Spicy) was really good, and I usually don't like BBQ sauces. My tri-tip was very smoky in flavor, but rather dry. I asked for it dry (meaning no sauce) and was even challenged to do so by the menu itself which claimed that the true test of good BBQ was having it sauce-less. And so I did. And Lucille's did not pass the test on the tri-tip. SIDES: Hubby had shoestring fries which we both agreed were delicious, and also the peanut slaw, which is a vinegar based cole slaw tossed with peanuts and peanut oil. It also had large pieces of yellow and red bell pepper in it, which made it inedible for me, but Hubby thought it was quite tasty and certainly different from any slaw he'd ever had. I had the macaroni and cheese and roasted corn. The corn was delicious, but I had no idea it would be on the cob. At Bobby Q's, they roast it, slice it off the cob and serve it in a little bowl, which I prefer. The mac and cheese was an abomination for a place that claims to serve Southern food. I am not sure there was any real unprocessed cheese in it. I have had better from a Kraft Deluxe box. DESSERT: I am glad we tried the dessert because the banana pudding was the true standout. I have never had banana pudding that has not been from a can, so the homemade version at Lucille's was a treat. It had some pieces of fresh banana and vanilla wafers tossed throughout the large serving (more than enough for 2). It was topped with real whipped cream (not Redi-Whip). SERVICE: The service was quite good, attentive but not annoying. A manager stopped by our table toward the end, and Hubby made a comparison between Lucille's and Bobby Q's. The manager said that a few other managers had come over from Bobby's to Lucille's, and implied that something was amiss at Bobby's in the overall running of the place. Whatever that is, it is not overt, as Hubby and I never noticed that there was an issue with food quality or service at Bobby's. We decided that we'll give Lucille's 6 months to work out what we hope are some opening bugs, and we'll return to try again. In the meantime, you'll see us at Bobby's.

output: I feel badly writing this review because my waitress was helpful and very friendly. However, everything else was terrible. The haus brat tastes mostly like dried oregano. The beet salad was very oily and bitter, with way too many wheat berries. The beets were tasteless, which is sad because they're my favorite vegetable. The misters were way too wet and leaky, leaving puddles on our table, food, and drinks The waitress removed the salad from my bill, but that is not enough to make me go back.

MORTIFIED! Growing up in Texas I loved CiCi's pizza and was excited when they opened up in Vegas. I got there at about 8 PM. tonight and the place was about 25% full. There was no where to sit because almost every table had plates on it (dirty buffet plates). AT first I thought maybe they were just short handed. Right away I noticed the cashier kept filing the salad and dressings without washing her hands. She was touching everything! Money, dirty rags, trash and then would go fill the salad and move the pizza around. I went up to the pizza counter to ask for our Pepperoni pizza that we had ordered about 20 minutes before and they had forgotten to make it. As I stood there I noticed the cashier pull a pizza out from UNDERNEATH (below the pizza counter) the counter and set it under the heat. I was horrified to see a sausage pizza that had been sitting out (already cooked) placed underneath the heat lamp. We left and didn't even eat more than a plate of food after being disgusted by the slop fest of CiCi's pizza. The worst part is that the cashier clearly did not give two cents about anyone eating dirty food. I feel gross just knowing I ate anything. The place was dirty, the bathrooms had graffiti. NEVER again will I eat here.
