Lucille's BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich with coleslaw - $14.99

Biscuits 

My first visit was to Lucille’s was at Victoria Gardens in Rancho Cucamongo, been there a few times I’m glad to say. I even shipped some of their original BBQ sauce home.  Yes indeed.  So I decided to make my rounds and visit all of Lucille’s restaurants.  I’ve been to the one in Lake Forest.

At Victoria Gardens I had the smoke BBQ half chicken that is marinated for 24 hours in their BBQ sauce, with roasted garlic mashed potatoes and a vegetable medley.  Needless to say I was licking my fingers with everything.  I do have good manners, but they slowly walked out of the door this time.  The vegetables were cooked to perfection and tasty, even the carrots.

At the District in Tustin, I decided to try Lucille’s BBQ Tri Tip Sandwich which is slow smoked Angus beef on a soft brioche bun with a side of french fries and cole slaw at Lake Forest and wanted to see if it was consistent at Tustin.  Yes it was.  Now imagine this.  You bite into this sandwich and the flavors of the tri tip do a slow dance in your mouth, hitting all of the taste buds, tender and full of flavor and you find yourself wanting to sing mmmm aahhhha in high C.  Lucille's states that the meat is thinly shaved and tossed in their own mop sauce, well hello mop sauce.  I like their cole slaw, order it every time.

My first server was Freddie who was such a gentleman, professional, menu knowledgeable and friendly.  When it was time for him to take his break he introduced us to Stephanie who exhibited the same qualities.  It was such a pleasure being waited on by them.  As always whichever Lucille’s I visited, the service is always on point from the time I step in the door until I leave.  Whoever does their training and selection of personnel is to be commended.

I have yet made it to the desert menu, but on my next visit, I have to decide between their carrot cake, berry cheesecake or their old fashioned banana pudding. 

You can go by yourself, take a few friends or family to enjoy not only the food but the great service and the ambiance.  You’re be back.    

Well, I'm back  with two of my granddaughters Skye & Cherokee on 8/17/2019.

Now I must say, the food was still very good, like lick your fingers.  I tasted some of Skye's fried chicken and it was quite tasty, juicy and tender.  Skye said "taste the mash potatoes" so, I did.  It had some of the red potato peeling and you can taste a bit of garlic, it is not over powering, just right.  I also tried Cherokee's french fries, crispy and soft on the inside.  I didn't need to add anything but I'm a pepper nut, so of course, on went the pepper.  

Lucille's is always a good experience, good service and yum.
