What our guests are saying

I just had lunch at Lucille’s and Iva, our waitress, was great; she mentioned the specials and suggested a few dishes. The service was outstanding; drinks never got empty, and the food tasted great. Make sure you get the chicken noodle soup. I will definitely be back! 5 STARS

Our waitress was amazing! Even let us try a sample of the soup of the day! Edit 2nd visit: new server for me, Michelle, but amazing energy and excellent recommendations! Food was delicious! Atmosphere is so fun! We will be back too many good things on the menu to try next time!
