We had a bit of a mixed experience at Luchals this Easter Sunday; while the food was absolutely fantastic and enjoyed by everyone in the family, the service timing unfortunately didn't quite keep up. When we arrived, it didn't seem crowded and there were a good amount of open tables, but they appeared to be understaffed for the day. While the staff was professional, things moved very slowly. It took a long time to get our drink orders taken and even longer to get the drinks to the table. Most frustratingly, my son never received his drink at all, even after we asked for it a second time. On the other hand, the meal itself was really good. Just about everyone ordered the chicken and waffles, and we also had the fish. Every dish was a hit and we all truly enjoyed what we ate. Because the kitchen is clearly doing a great job, we will definitely be back to give it another try, hopefully on a day when the front-of-house service is a bit more in sync. read more

I stopped here while in the area after a hike in Colorado Springs. The area/ambiance appeared a bit questionable. But that didn't stop me, those are usually the best places to eat. We had high hopes for this one but overall it wasn't the best experience. I ordered a catfish platter with red beans and rice and okra. The okra was pretty hard and the red beans and rice didn't have much flavor to them. The catfish was good. You could tell it was fresh! I just wish the flavor on it had been a bit bolder. Like if it used the same breading as the fried green tomatoes. read more

Seriously cannot say enough good things about out this place. First and Foremost our server Octavia was exceptional, drinks never below 3/4 full, consistently checked on us and was just great. We've been here before and the food today was even better. It was a full flavor explosion in my mouth. I'm already trying to convince my family to come back tomorrow. read more

Made a reservation which can't say was needed for a Wednesday night. Ample seating was available. They did have outdoor seating, but I didn't check it out. A live karaoke was set up and the lady who was running it had a beautiful voice! She was jamming throughout the night. Food was amazing with everyone enjoying their meals. From the fried catfish, fried chicken, collard greens, red beans and rice, shrimp and grits, Cajun pasta, fried green tomatoes or the bourbon glazed scallops - no complaints at the table. I order the martini flight which sounds great I still you realize it's four full size martinis. Y'all, there's no way. Be warned. Service was prompt and friendly. read more

I occasionally stop in just for the fried green tomatoes. They're delicious! Today I added a catfish fillet. AMAZING!

Me and my partner waited an hour for one app, god awful service to say the least. The family that was seated just before us had their entrees by the time our server finally came over to tell us she must have put it under the wrong table. Our server asked us if we would like to put in entrees, but beyond tired of the wait, we denied, waiting longer now as the app, a single order of the fried green tomatoes, was finally being worked on. After eating the admittedly great appetizer, we found ourselves waiting what was likely another 10 to 20 minutes, watching the ice in our waters finish melting, before dropping a twenty on the table and walking out. I cannot fathom any situation which would compel me to want to return, and would caution any hungry patrons from seeking to sate their appetites in this dining establishment. read more

The service & seafood were almost as bad, but: truly the servers, bar, etc and phone were all COMPLETELY AWFUL! I am 100% beach rasied/well traveled many, many beach locations in several countries and everywhere in the US - I love Maryland Blue Crab, my Step Dad's family, would catch then eat them in the shell on newspapers - one of the best, and expensive crabs there are, and where ever any decent let alone real lump or west coast crab crab meat, theirs was flavorless and we couldn't identify any. The blue crab fries...we literally thought they WERE blue crab fries...they are whatever crab/very cheap &/or little...the crab cakes were mostly batter/breading, and there was incredibly little crab meat, however imitation, frozen, cheap. The scallops - you pay approximately $20.00 for: 4 they are smaller, they were over cooked to rubber consistency & and covered in some burnt "Asian" inspired sticky sauce. We DID enjoy their "seafood" either blue crab - supposedly or crab "covered," - hah - macaroni...after removing their "faux" seafood, and REALLY enjoyed their Mac enough to return and buy it...but, when we tried, during their day time/brunch schedule, you can not EVEN BUY the full sized entrée, except with brunch...that and except for one very helpful lady, perhaps the Manager, everyone else was INCREDIBLY rude, & either like they couldn't be bothered or out right "put out." And, yes, two of us both were spoken to in a very unkind manner. We wouldn't EVER return (nor would we recommend to ANYONE) just on the lack of quality with high expense. ALL of that on top of practically being abused...for? Paying for the experience? P.S.: OH, this is NOT a restaurant that gives you sauces, maybe 1 small side, when we purchased all the seafood sauces, they're "Pink" sauce for instance: they charged like $0.60+ per small condiment container - which we could understand - a little, but, (we purchased at least 17+ sauces, after discovering they fill them ONLY the bottom ¼of the SMALL container. Another way to make a buck, we guess. read more

Came here with the family after a day of hiking, walked in and was seated right away. The atmosphere was okay, music wasn't too loud and the tables are spaced apart so you don't feel crowded. Ordered a peach drop as my drink, very delicious. As an appetizer we ordered the fried green tomatoes on the happy hour menu, the seasoning on them was good but the tomatoes themselves were thin & tiny. I ordered the fried catfish platter with collard greens & rice and beans. The catfish was fresh & fried pretty nicely but no seasoning even though you can see the parsley on it lol. The greens were tough sitting in some kind of tomato tasting liquid, the rice and beans were decent but kinda dry. Overall I probably wouldn't come back seeing how I live in Denver and it an hour drive away! I can tell from where I was sitting that the cooks didn't look happy about being there but that's just my perception. read more

I wanted to like this place but it not only fell short, it grossed us out. The reviews are mostly inflated or written by people with zero taste or class The photos of food they share on their website and yelp are not from their kitchen. The pictures are staged and from a chef who doesn't work there. The salmon bites were just plane awful The fried green tomatoes were frozen along with literally everything else and fried in cheap oils. Gluten free means nothing if you're using cheap oils! The lemon wedge on my water cup looked used. Asked for more, was brought more of the same. Dehydrated lemon slices from days ago The collard greens were laughably bad. Texture and flavor. Awful! Service too, sadly was a joke Our server seemed to be disappointed the place was dead and even told us we were in for a treat since it was our first time... and absolutely the last time. We were never impressed. We immediately felt like this is a strip club and not a restaurant. I'm guessing it's open to provide a place to entertain late at night and sell drugs or ass because food isn't on even a long list of things they're good at. The only thing that tasted good out of 2 apps and a triple threat was the frozen fried cat fish. Even the frozen shrimp were nasty, and the fried chicken lacked seasoning and was very dry. read more

Bad service for the price. They forgot one of my entrees after I drove all the way home so by the time I drove back the the restaurant and back home my food sat for 45min. Then I got home and my other order was screwed up. They tried making it better by offering me a discount next time I stopped by but why tf should I spend more money to fix your guys mess up. Spent $80 here absolutely not worth it and never going here again. read more

So my daughter was excited to share her left overs with us tonight from here. Upon opening the box, the food looked good and was tasty but one catfish filet was burnt to a crisp!

Seen this place on Tiktok while I was in Colorado and decided to give it a try. Eating here was one of the BEST decisions I ever made! The decor and atmosphere is amazing and even had modern R&B music playing. I had the Triple Threat and it was breathtaking. The mac and cheese was SO creamy, the catfish was perfectly seasoned, and the chicken was crispy and tender. My waitress (who was also the bartender) was so sweet and has an amazing personality. Absolutely loved this place and will definitely be coming back when I'm in town. read more

Luchals - Catfish, side salad with ranch, red beans and rice - Seafood Near Me - Fountain, Colorado

Second time that the family has visited this soul food and seafood restaurant between colorado springs and fountain. Think of the best seafood / soul food places around the Gulf of Mexico , Alabama or Georgia and you'll see that the food is better or just as good. I liked the sides such as fried green tomatoes, fried okra, collard greens, cooked Brussels sprouts, red beans and rice! I liked the collard greens a lot. The coatings on the large filets of fish are flavorful and remind me of the southeast fish houses on the side of the road and soulfood places. The blue crab mac and cheese is far better than anything that I've had before in a soul food or expensive restaurant like Gordon Biersch in Atlanta, Georgia. This chicken, shrimp and fish in triple threat were cooked perfectly. Large servings and you'll have leftovers to enjoy for lunch or possibly another dinner. Large dining area with great vibes with music and the art on the walls. The environment is family friendly and great for large parties. The serve , Renee, was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I've read that the restaurant is family run, so support local and support family run businesses and you will enjoy the visit to Luchals. read more

I really enjoyed the food the first time I visited but it has progressively gotten worst each time after. The serving/bartending staff are not focused on what they are actually there to do. They want to sing karaoke and dance rather than serve food in a reasonable time. Food comes to the table cool instead of hot. I ordered a drink for which I never got. The wait time for food is ridiculously long and overall disappointing. The music is wayyyy too loud to actually be enjoyed and does not allow for any sort of communication at the table among guests. This place has all the potential to be something special but needs some serious management and professional oversight. read more

The three Cajun Shrimp Tacos have great flavors. Flamingo sauce is good. They, however, were not served hot (temp wise). Service was very slooow. Server wasn't on his game. The ambiance gives a harsh and cold feeling and is not a relaxing place to dine. Their music is way too loud and we had to yell to hear one another. read more

Ordered waffles with eggs over easy, the eggs were hard & burnt, the waffles were cold. The other 6 meals in our party were as well cold. The service was very slow, they acted as if they did not care if you were served or not! They gave us a lunch & dinner menu but when we were to order they said it had to be off of the brunch menu? All of our meals did not come out at the same time. I will not be going back any time soon :-( read more

I'm giving Luchals a 5 star rating primarily for their food. The food we ate was excellently prepared and came to us hot. We all had seafood dishes of one sort or another and it was cooked to perfection! Our waitress, Megan, also did a superb job. She was engaging and pleasant to chat with. This restaurant is a hidden gem in the Fountain area. People are missing out on some great food and great service if you haven't tried this place! read more

Great atmosphere. The food is really good. Only been once but willing to go back for another try!

Hallaluyur! Customer Service is alive and well at Luchals!! We were attended to right away by Crystal. She was very professional yet personable! Made excellent suggestions regarding food selections! The ambiance was quite comfortable! Complements to the chef! What a meal! He had all of my favorites, cooked the old fashion way, YUM! Very satisfying experience! Thanks for moving to the neighborhood! See you again soon!! read more

I've always loved the food at Luchals since I started getting it at their Tejon location when they opened a few years ago. Whether I got takeout or ate there. This is the first time I paid $35 that included a tip and I was so disappointed. The portion was really small and the fries were cold. I got there right on time according to when I was told by toast app it would be ready. I'm so sad to get this kind of service for the first time ever read more

This space is the best thing that has happened in Fountain in over ten years. I loved the fried catfish and the ladies at the bar made the best drinks. I found out about this company by way of their catering services and I have been a follower since. They absolutely cannot miss! They're still new for this spot and working out the kinks, but I see no reason why this wouldn't end up being the go to spot for all business lunches, socials, events, and much more. read more

The food is great, but the service is awful. We had to manage our order all the way through. One meal came before the appetizer, the second meal came a LONG time after the other food, so everyone was eating by themselves. Then we order a second round of drinks and the server brought our check, charged us the second round, but didn't bring the drinks. I will opt for their COATI location next time because then I will have a do-it-yourself expectation. Very disappointing and aggravating experience in Fountain. read more
