We came here for brunch on a Sunday at like 12:30pm. We had to wait for about 20 minutes for a table but the wait wasn't too bad. Many waiting were getting drinks at the bar and standing outside drinking it which I'm sure made the wait better. Very LGBTQ+ welcoming which I loved. Many beautiful smiling faces living their truth. The vibes where totally right. This would certainly be an excellent place for a birthday brunch! The food was absolutely delicious. We initially didn't plan on the beignets because it was just two of us but it was absolutely the most delicious thing we ate (warm, sugary, buttery!). Biscuit was fresh and delicious. The french toast was my second favorite thing I ate. Absolute perfection and came with like a caramel dip/ syrup thing. We also had their caffe au lait which was delicious. My only complaint would be the prices definitely add up so we had a pricey breakfast. However, we ate like kings and had a great time. Will add this spot to our rotation of breakfast spots. read more

The food was incredible. I recommend The Beignets. Really authentic and delicious. Service was top notch. Can't wait to comeback.

Best Breakfast Experience The French Toast is exceptional, and I particularly enjoy the trout with grits--it's a delightful combination. Additionally, their Bloody Marys are among the best I've ever had. read more

I came in for brunch with my sisters. Everything was a delight especially the beignets!

Wow the food here is delicious. Southern charm to the food that shines in their scratch kitchen dishes, sauces, and jams. I have taken someone different here the last three times I have gone and each person thinks I'm a food GOD The eggs ponchattrain is perfection. I've never had trout cooked so perfectly. All in all great good experience. The service hasn't been consistent but they are usually very busy each time I've come. Also, try the painkiller. Refreshing and works well with the spice and savory biscuit read more

The food was great! If you go 100% order the beignets. We ended up ordering a second order of them. read more

Y'all... this place has a line every Saturday and Sunday for brunch but let me tell you a little secret: it's not that good! The food is sometimes just a little too rich. Like tasty on your first bite and then you start to feel a bit icky. But I love their firepit. read more

The first 15 minutes we sat down and waited. 0 service. Waited for another 10 minutes before we had to ask for a waiter. food took 40 minutes and by the time we got it, it was already 1. the restaurant closes at 2 by the way. The bartender was slacking off, non of the waiters were working correctly, and management was not trying to rectify the situation. I am extremely disappointed and exhausted. Meal prices here are extremely high, and the absolute lack of attention was disgusting. The work ethic was, frankly, not worth visiting. The table next to us was in a hurry and didn't get food at all. The waiter had to wrap up the food for them because they simply didn't have time to eat. We asked for a refill of water and it took 20 minutes to get. Save your time and DO NOT COME HERE. read more

It's that time of year & Lucile's has Crawfish Etoufee back on the menu - at least as a Friday Special until the season is in full swing! I may be crazy - but I drove 310 miles round trip just to have it for lunch last Friday!! The atmosphere here and the incredibly friendly and efficient people makes this place better than every place I tried on a disappointing trip to New Orleans!! I'll be making this trip again later in the season when the Crawfish are bigger & more plentiful!! It's very much worth the drive!! read more

Yet another Yelp find. When I'm hungry I like to check out different place to eat. I search Yelp and I have found some fantastic places. This most definitely is one of them.we arrived just before 10am on a Saturday and we're seated in about 5 minutes. By the time we left, they had quite a line. So I would suggest, the earlier the better. My friend had the Eggs Pontchartrain, he was really impressed, and I had the Carlin County, the gravy on top of the biscuit has a little bit of a kick, which I for one enjoy. I would suggest tasting it first before adding hot sauce and or sal & pepper. The food was prompt and the staff friendly. read more

Visited Lucile's with my family on a rainy day for brunch and it was delicious! The interior of the restaurant is super cozy and has a great homey vibe. I absolutely loved that all of our meals came with a biscuit. I can't stress this enough: this was the best biscuit I've ever had! It's been a week and I'm still thinking about it. It was giant, freshly baked, buttery, and delicious. We started off with an order of beignets as well, which is a must. They're cooked to order, fluffy, and coated in powdered sugar. For an entree, I was already full from eating my entire biscuit, but I had the gumbo and enjoyed it. Plus, portions are super large so I brought it home for leftovers. I also had the grapefruit juice and it was super fresh! I would definitely come back here next time I'm in the area! read more

I hate to say this, but we ended up a Lucile's Creole Cafe cuz we couldn't get into another popular spot close by! But we were not disappointed. I Love this place. The menu is great an always hard to make a decision on what to get. So, a little advise, go with people that love to share! Heck, I hardly go anywhere with people that wont share. So, we started with a huge bloody Mary, that is more like a meal than a drink. Super spicy, but I like it that way. I am NOT a fan of chicory coffee, but love ice tea However, they only office a spiced ice tea.... Hey Lucile's, you got alot of spicy things, may want to consider some simple beverages. I had shrimp and grits, dang you just can't go wrong with this one. Shrimp, andouille sausage, and red peppers with creamy cheese grits.... My SO had a benny really good and his son had the Cajun breakfast with red beans, poached eggs, and hollandaise. He opted for the upgraded potatoes with cheese! Good call. But the best is the buttermilk biscuit and the homemade jams (I think that they rotate). Yes, of course we had an order of beignets.... seriously you just can't go without ordering these. But honestly, the biscuit is better (just sayin'). **heads up, the are doing road work on Logan, so it is noisy to sit outside. and remember .... get a biscuit! read more

This was a most pleasant surprise. I came across this place back in April when my first choice ended up being carry out only. I quickly scoured Yelp for an alternative breakfast/brunch spot. I'll be honest I have very little faith in southern food outside the south, especially cajun and creole. The beignets were a little dense for my liking but not too sweet which I do like. I ordered the creole omelet which comes with a spicy sausage and ham creole sauce, and a bowl of gumbo. The sauce was rich, dark (they clearly know their way around a good roux), and expertly seasoned (yep it had the mirepoix). The gumbo was also perfectly darkened but could have used a pinch more salt. The biscuit and jam that came with the meal was to die for! Like I brought everyone's home with me that didn't want them (low carb who? where?); it was so buttery! The potatoes were extra crispy and the grits were extra creamy. What a find! read more

A friend of our recommended we give this place a try and we couldn't say no once we saw beignets on the menu. came around 11:30 on a Thursday, and at a good time before they had their rush. came for brunch, so, my girlfriend grabbed the Eggs Jennifer & I, the Pain Perdu. Girlfriend enjoyed the hollandaise sauce & we loved the house hot sauce! & for the Pain Perdu, i definitely liked the praline syrup! then we got beignets to go! our server was great as well! i forgot his name. but he was wearing a bandana/headband to work that day and had great energy when serving us! read more

We usually make the mistake of giving in to the offer of having the delicious beignets with coffee, before our amazing meals and are inevitably stuffed for the day! The service is attentive, knowledgeable and friendly. We love the cozy atmosphere and it feels welcoming, no matter how busy it can get. The servings are plentiful. I always get the blackened salmon, but whatever I see others with my party order, it looks equally as delicious. This is such a great place to go, especially if you are in the Denver University area. It gets busy, so try to arrive early! read more

I was excited to try this place out but boy was I disappointed. The service was amazing as soon as I walked in I was greeted and sat immediately. The place was lively with families, friends, and jazz music. My server, Carly, was super kind and awesome! I ordered the beignets and shrimp and grits but got the grits jalapeño and cheese. My food came out in a decent amount of time. I was surprised my shrimp and grits came with a biscuit. It was quite large, buttery, and hot. I could tell it was made fresh. The beignets were dense and although warm, not hot. I've had them in New Orleans and I couldn't possibly expect them to live up to the infamous Cafe Du Monde but I certainly did expect better. The shrimp and grits, while flavorful, just really missed the mark for me. I've had this dish once again in New Orleans and many other soul food and brunch places in other states and it just didn't awaken my sense and call me back for bite after bite. The grits also didn't give me the kick or cheesiness I was seeking. I expressed to the staff that I wasn't the happiest with the flavor of the food and they did take care of me which I really appreciated. The service is really great, and I hope that maybe I just ordered the wrong things on the menu. read more

Seating is at 25% in Denver and we were fortunate to get seated before the crowd showed up. Cajun / Creole / Good There are so many choices, you will find something that you will love. We had the beignets, WOW !!!! Dang they were warm and good ! After that, we had the fruit platter. Look at the pictures, there is enough fruit for 6 folks ! Shrimp grits, biscuits and sausage was next. Everything was excellent! The wait staff really went the extra mile, you wanted for nothing!

Came for a Galentines Day bridal party brunch and had great food and good service! We had a medium to large party with 6 people. when it came to pay we were notified that they can't split a bill for a table that large so we paid in full. The manager Daniella had an awful way of speaking to people and completely belittled me and our entire group for simply asking why you can't split a bill up. She let us that the system they use is from the year 2000.... it's 2025 ? Maybe update your system or possibly consider answering questions like a human being and not an angry tyrant who's above all. Completely ruined the experience for a new paying customer :( Definitely wouldn't recommend big parties unless your prepared to all pay together read more

After walking past Lucile's for months I finally set a date to go with a girlfriend, and I'm so glad we did! On a Saturday around 1PM we were seated after about 20 minutes, which was enough time to grab a bloody mary (made with pickle vodka! tart and refreshing!) and an iced chai (cold, sweet, a little spice, and refreshing!) We immediately ordered the beignets to share - an order comes with 4 so we each went home with one for later. They were much bigger than I expected, and they came out hot and crisp on the outside, fluffy on the inside, and covered in powdered sugar.. need I saw more? For mains we had the Eggs Sardou and Eggs New Orleans and shared bites of each. The Sardou came with creamed spinach that reminded me of growing up in the south, and the New Orleans had a nice kick to the sauce that kept the tomatoeyness from being overpowering. And THE BISCUIT! Oh my goodness. Huge. Light. Fluffy. All my biscuit dreams come true. And there are so many choices! Get your poached egg runny and ask for half grits and half potatoes. For my grits I went with cheesy jalapeno, and then no cheese on the potatoes (but my friend opted in for cheese on both and loved it!) I also loved that the potatoes weren't the usual small, dried out cubes that so many places serve. These were thickly sliced and cooked in a delicious sauce, so they were nice and tender but still held their shape! Huge portions, delicious food, and friendly service. I'll be back! read more

Back in 2010, before waiting an hour plus for breakfast was a badge of honor in Denver, people were doing that here at Lucile's. Some things get better with time, and the wait here has been minimal for a couple years. Good riddance, hipsters. We came this morning with NOLA on the brain--chicory coffee and beignets, to be specific. These sounded even better on the heated patio along Logan. Our server was friendly, patient, and attentive. I could not avoid ordering breakfast to accompany the go juice and sugar rush. While waiting, feast your eyes on the surroundings. The décor of this transformed old house and the people watching never disappoint. As always, the beignets here were a treat--not too thick or thin, cooked perfectly, superb. Simply having chicory in my coffee makes me smile. My meal, the Carlin Country, included a perfect biscuit--crisp, firm outside, soft fluffy interior--covered in a unique Creole sausage gravy, along with red beans and zesty jalapeno cheese grits. Past breakfasts have all impressed--Shrimp and Grits, Cajun Breakfast, Creole Omelet. The extensive side menu should ensure the fussiest of eaters finds something to enjoy. Housemade jams and sauces all shine. Lucile's also features a full arsenal of breakfast drinks, whether from the coffee pots or the full bar. Whether it's a Turbodog, Café au Lait, fresh fruit juice, or bloody Mary, they've got you covered. Overall, this was almost a five star visit, with the only demerit due to cold red beans. I'd forgotten how much I like this place and appreciate their efforts to be safe while maintaining an upbeat, albeit well-spaced atmosphere. Until next time! read more

Hands down the best beignets around, served by excellent waitstaff. Start with a plate to share with coffee, but make sure you leave room for an entree-- especially one that comes with a fluffy buttermilk biscuit. The eggs New Orleans was a fun take on eggs Benedict: fried eggplant slices topped with a tomato-based creole sauce and poached eggs. Flavorful enough to leave off the hollandaise sauce! This place is a first-come-first-serve policy (no reservations). I came about 20 min early to notify them of our group of 20 that was coming and everyone was seated within 10 minutes of the time we'd agreed to meet. Definitely a local gem read more

Great food large portions great service! Fire pit outside, ambiance is cute! New Orleans aesthetic, our server Brad was great :)

What a great place to Brunch! This Cajun themed restaurant is nestled in a cute neighborhood with tree lined streets. Parking may be a challenge but worth the walk if you need to park a few blocks away. They don't take reservations but as you wait, they allow you to go to the side bar and order a yummy cocktail such as a Cajun Bloody Mary , Cuban OJ etc. We chose a Screwdriver which had the best freshly squeezed OJ!! After a short wait, we ordered up the Eggs Benedict which we ended up sharing because the entrees are the size of New Orleans! Deliciousness all the way around!!! read more

the beignets were decent but the cajun style poached eggs with potatoes were really bad. I couldn't even eat it. I was disappointed because the place had good reviews but it really was very bad read more

I want to start this by saying I'm from New Orleans. The food at Lucile's was not bad but not authentic. The concept was there but the food was very bland. The service also wasn't the best. I had to walk inside after waiting for ten minutes to get a server to greet us. This place wasn't the best but also wasn't the worst. Think it would have got a 4 star if the service was a little better. They also only split checks 2 ways so if you have a big party beware of that. read more

Wow, what a gem! Food is fantastic! Make sure you go hungry because you will fill up on these comfort foods. Make sure you order the beignets too! I will be back! The French Toast is the best I've ever had. read more

AMAZING. Good food in Denver is hard to come by most of the time, but I have never been disappointed in any meal I've gotten from here. The hosts and servers are all kind and enthusiastic to tell you what they offer. I go here for brunch usually.. their orange juice really is THAT good.. I was shocked/it almost made me not want to mix my champagne into my mimosa because of it. The blackened salmon dish is incredible. Have gotten it many times and again it hits every time. So much flavor in everything they have. Just go. Go here if you want something that tastes like a home cooked meal by someone who loves you.. but like 10x better than that. read more

I visited the Lucile's in Boulder a decade ago, and their biscuits and gravy with andouille sausage was probably the best I've ever had (don't tell my mom). So when we visited Denver recently, I knew I had to eat at Lucile's. I no longer eat red meat so I didn't get the B&G, but what I did get was just as good. First of all, the buttermilk biscuits they serve with butter and jam are terrific. Very dense and crumbly goodness. For breakfast I had the Eggs Sardou, which was so good. Everyone at my table agreed the food was outstanding, as were the coffee and service. I'll come back to Lucile's every time I'm in the area. read more

Lucile's Creole Cafe - Eggs Sardou with potatoes - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Super over-rated. Line out the door, but am not sure why. Or why this place has good reviews. Got the eggs with creamed spinach, shrimp, hollandaise sauce. The creamed spinach tasted boxed. My friend got the jalapeno cheese grits that had no flavor of jalapeno or cheese. The shrimp tasted like they were boiled. I also discovered my glass was cracked after drinking pretty much my whole drink. No biggie, I asked for a new glass and the server (not ours) was blatantly annoyed that I asked for a new glass. I was a bartender for 15 years and we apologized profusely for a broken glass because of the possible liability. I looked at my friend who was also shocked by the attitude, and said, "Did I sound rude in ANY way? Weird." I am giving 3 stars because the server we had was very, very sweet and her customer service was great. And the place was cute. read more

Our server, Marco, was great. Six in our party all had great things to say about their food. The Tuesday Special - Spicy BLT was delicious! The French Toast looked great. I'm not partial to Grits, but the Shrimp and Grits were rated very good! read more

Wonderful and friendly atmosphere. Most delicious breakfast that I have had in years and I can certainly recommend the blackened salmon with eggs and grits and, of course, the biscuits! We started off with their heavenly beignets - very light dough and flavorful - try it with their homemade jam. Menu is wide ranging and sure to satisfy all tastes. On street parking - maybe challenging but worth it. read more

I absolutely love this place. It reminds me of my most recent home, New Orleans. The food is delicious and the service is amazing! I love sitting outside at the boulder location and enjoying the ambiance and the beignets. The Eggs Jennifer are to die for. I should get them with grits, but the potatoes are so darn good. I also love the Eggs Sardou. Maybe I am just in love with the hollandaise. The orange juice that comes with the mimosa is delicious! I love how they serve it as a side car with the prosecco, so that you can add just as much or little as you want. I generally drink each separate. =) In all, if you are looking for a delicious brunch, this is the place! read more

I've heard about this place for a long time now and I'm so glad I came here to eat breakfast with my partner! As soon as we entered we were greeted and sat down immediately.

I got food poisoning from this place it was bad, was throwing up for about 2 hours, overall places is fantastic but the food was just not it

Wow. Okay I get it. I get the hype. I've been living in Denver for 3 years and never really felt the need to try Lucille's and now I'm kicking myself wondering why I didn't try it soon. I live nearby the one on Logan St and always see a line at this place so today I told my husband, you know what? let's just see what the hype is about. and boy we weren't ready. First of all there were 10 couples waiting when we got there so we figured an hour wait at least, but we got in in like 10 minutes?! They have a bar outside this location so we ordered some cocktails and they really hit the spot. I had the mimosa with cranberry juice and my husband got the cuban OJ. Once seated we were immediately greeted by our wonderful server, Corey, who grabbed us watered and asked if we had been in before... "nope, our first time!" and he welcomed us and we ordered. We got the beignets, biscuits and grits, cajun potatoes and the cajun breakfast. The beignets came out first and they were piping hot and covered with fluffy powdered sugar and practically melted in your mouth. Then came the buttermilk biscuits.. if you're from the South like me these aren't your typical buttermilk biscuits as they were a little more crumbly in texture but the flavor was all there. 10/10! All of their jams and hot sauce and ketchup are homemade as well. Love! Then we got our food and holy f*^~k!! The cheesy jalaapeno grits were out of this world and hubby got the cajun breakfast and it was redbeans with meat and poached eggs with hollandaise on top and let me just say as a certified picky eater-- this was UNREAL. It should be studied. 100000/10. Lastly, I'll end on the potatoes. We've all been to a breakfast joint with bland ass potatoes that they just throw in a skillet with a little oil and salt and call it a day. But these... these were perfectly seasoned with cajun spices and charred to perfection. Do yourself a favor and come to Lucille's, you'll be glad you did. read more
