We had 3 hour wait between trains and it was well worth the cost and time to Uber to Lucille's for late lunch. Fried green tomatoes are excellent. Lobster Bisque was best I have had. Chicken salad sandwich was very fresh and well constructed. Seno'r Rita was so good I had two. Wife had the crab cakes and were excellent. Miriam, our waitress, was on top of her game. If I had been hungrier I would have had the world renowned chicken fried steak with country gravy. I hope to eat here again. read more

We really enjoyed our Sunday brunch! Arrived shortly after what I believe is their opening time of 10am. The place had many people already there and lots of open seating. Because of other reviews, I went ahead and got on their website and made reservation when we were on our way. I wasn't asked if we had reservation and unsure how important it was but better safe than sorry. They did get busier as it got later of course. The bar was full with many drinking martinis already. They serve brunch on weekends and have adjoining cocktail menu. Several tables had the beignets (4 for $7) which were so puffy and looked delicious. I got the breakfast toastie which was really big & delicious. We could have split one! The hashbrowns were heavy seasoned to my preference but were very good, My Mom got the Corned Beef Hash with poached eggs, hash browns, & a biscuit. The corned beef mixture was extremely salty but good when mixed together with hashbrowns & eggs. The biscuit was delicious! Will not order again We saw others enjoying toasties, cheesey grits, and massive crawfish pie. We look forward to going back! read more

What a cute spot on Camp Bowie! Martinis were clearly the hit here. Got a dirty martini and my partner got a spicy martini both came with a little sidecar and were delicious. We started with the lobster bites which were yummy but small in portion...will be trying something new next time. My partner loved their lobster roll with house chips! I had the crab cakes which came with a buttery pasta which was a bit on the heavier side. So cute and homey! Perfect for a Friday night dinner! Street parking is available and I think I remember a sign for a parking lot nearby! read more

Caveat. This is the first time we had ever been to Lucille's and almost 20 years since we moved here. We walked in the front door and asked for a table for two. They asked if we had a reservation, which we did not, but we were offered a table in the bar and were served a full menu. My husband ordered the chicken fried steak and eggs with hashbrowns and it was amazing. We did start off our brunch lunch menu with some fried green tomatoes, and you could definitely tell that the sauce for the tomatoes was homemade in between a horseradish citrus sauce, which was good . I ordered their Guinness beef stew, which was amazing. I just wish the stew was served with a nice piece of chunky bread to dip into the stew. The atmosphere service and food was really really good. It is not cheap to eat here. However, you get your moneys worth in portions, size and flavor. As first-timers, we can't wait to go back. If you sit in the bar, ask for Jessy. She's waitstaff and bartender. She was so sweet. read more

Oh Lucile's... we had high hopes. I'll start with the positive: chicken fried steak was in fact great and worthy of praise. All else, highly mediocre. This is a food factory cranking out quantity, not focused on quality. Flavorless tepid fried green tomatoes were a disappointment. "Angry lobster" was a sales pitch, not a feast. Lobster claw served without anything to crack it open, no crab in sight. Afterward, discussing our meal, mom said the best thing at the table was the bread. Sad. To end the night, our bill came with an item we didn't order. Despite apologies and claims it was removed, reading receipt again it was still there and charged to my card. We reduced our gratuity and left. No force of nature could bring me back. read more

Not sure why this restaurant only has 3.5 stars. It's so packed on sunday.You need a reservation.That usually means pretty good food. My breakfast was excellent and my husband's also. He is a chef himself and knows flavor. He ordered the corned beef hash and really like it. I had my typical bacon and eggs.And toast, just to make sure this was a great place.Also ordered a small waffle so I could try. Was a great breakfast. The atmosphere is hopping, and I like that. One of the waiters has been here awhile and told us a few things you could get that weren't on the menu. All the staff were attentive and helpful. Bathrooms clean. read more

We had high hopes for this local institution...and sadly we were disappointed. We had an early reservation for a Saturday evening, and the hostesses were somewhat off-putting and had some challenges with seating and we had to wait. It was odd when folks who were walk-ins were offered a table before those of us with reservations for the same size party. We would have gladly taken a bar seat but were not offered one. The hostesses seemed more concerned about an upcoming birthday party for one of the staff. When we were finally seated, things didn't improve much. Some basic service training is lacking here. Example-- we were seated at a table with the former diners' ticket on it. The served came and picked it up while we were waiting at the table, but did not greet us. Once we were acknowledged, the server was nice enough. The martini is great -- get it! The server didn't offer a wine list when we asked. Ended up with house cab --producer unknown. Food was lackluster. Crab mushrooms were tiny, but the sauce was okay. Entrees were rough. My wedge salad with steak was so overly dressed and salty I could feel myself dehydrating! The flavor WAS good, just way too much dressing and sooo salty. And the steak, while I asked for medium rare, was more like well done....and weirdly cold. My companion's chicken was fair, but the veggies were all only cooked on one side. The corn was nearly petrified. It tasted freezer burned and reheated. The place is cute! Perhaps we ordered poorly or it was an off night, but sadly, we won't likely return. read more

We had reservations for a Saturday morning & we're seated promptly upon arriving. We had a party of six, water was brought out quickly, & our drink order was taken after a few minutes. The place was comfortable & clean. The bathroom needed attention, in their defense, the place was packed & the staff were very busy! The food was okay... I had the shrimp & grits. There was nothing wrong with them, but I've had better. The shrimp were small, especially in comparison to the huge bowl of grits. Overall, it was good experience & we will give them a try again. read more

I read the reviews (yes there are some bad ones) but this place deserves recognition where recognition is due. We had a large family dinner and every single person was THOROUGHLY impressed with their food, even the 10 yr old who barely eats anything. Service was a little slow but the place was packed so understandable. The vibe is definitely lively so don't expect a quiet intimate dinner. read more

My daughter found Lucille's in Yelp and I can't believe I'd never heard of it. Parking can be a little tricky, the restaurant is located on a triangle. Definitely make a reservation, although they have an open seating at the small bar and a few tables along the window. We were there on Father's Day and it was packed. We lucked into to a small table in the bar area and canceled our reservation. We ordered our drinks fairly quickly; the bar was pretty backed up my breakfast old-fashioned was definitely worth the wait. We split an order of the blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes with bacon and lobster Benedict with hashbrowns. They put our Benedict on separate plates, which was very thoughtful! The food was incredible even though the poached eggs were a tad overcooked. I can't wait to come back and try something else. read more

Lucile's Chicken Fried Steak is probably the best one I've had in Texas so far... It's HUGE! I think what made it so good is the breading. It goes really well with the beef. The mashed potatoes was just ok... I would have added more butter to make it creamier. Overall I can see why the chicken fried steak here was voted best in Fort Worth. read more

This is the first review I have ever written, and that speaks volumes. My partner and I decided on a whim to stop here for a quick lunch. Once seated, we realized there is no lunch menu. Only entrees. We decided to share the blackened red fish with veggies for our meal. The fish was so salty, it was inedible. The sauce on the fish was also way too salty, like a mistake was made while cooking it. The veggies seemed to be boiled and the corn was like rubber. I'm not even sure how one would achieve that texture, but it was indeed achieved. We were hoping we could balance the saltiness of the meal out with the blandness of the rolls, except they didn't arrive until we had finished and were ready to get the heck out of there. The prices for this inedible food is the crazy part. Who enjoys this? Who are the people that come over and over for this disgusting food and terrible experience? I'm not sure. All I know is that this is NOT a FW staple and should not be operating any longer. Maybe food was better long again but as of today, this was the worst meal I've had in 20+ years and that's saying a lot! read more

What a fun and yummy restaurant! I love Lucille's. The bartenders are the best! The martinis are tops. A casual country look with plenty of natural night. Highly recommend!! read more

Lobster Cioppino and Duck, Shrimp, and Andouille Sausage Gumbo. Made the trek into FTW today from NE Tarrant County to try the gumbo posted on FB yesterday. My wife immediately focused on the lobster cioppino being offered today and that was that. She opted for a glass of vino and I a Tanqueray martini. Not crazy about whatever vermouth this is poured with (for me it just does not work with the Tanqueray) and not a fan of the abundance of ice shards in the pour here but still... it was a martini at lunch! Cheers! Both the gumbo and cioppino boasted a rich, hearty, and complex medley of flavors which perfectly showcased the respective seafoods and meats. The fish, lobster, mussels, and scallops, etc. in the cioppino were all perfectly cooked. None of the seafood in the dish was overcooked. Everything in the gumbo was as well properly rendered and tasty though the gumbo was not close to hot, just warm. But it does include okra, y'all! Oh yeah! The brown rice, however, in both our dishes was significantly undercooked. The rice was still crunchy. We passed this observation on to our server who apparently communicated it to the kitchen as one of the cooks soon brought a bowl of "fresh rice" to our table. A+ on the server's and kitchen's attention to their patrons. But it was the same story. I kinda wonder why brown rice is served with these dishes in the first place. I bet not one in fifty diners these days have ever had brown rice and not one in a hundred prefer it. (My wife is that one. I am one of the 99. LOL ). I don't recall ever having been served brown rice with a Cajun or Creole inspired dish. But anywho, both dishes were otherwise most enjoyable and, of course, we always love the vibe at Lucile's! read more

As much as I wanted this to be a go-to place for us, I have to say we found Lucille's to be absolutely average. Food, service, drinks...meh. Well-reviewed lobster rolls and chicken fried steak disappointed. My wife did enjoy the special, which was a creole ravioli. Unfortunately, we won't be returning. One cocktail each, no wine, an appetizer, and dinner with no dessert was over $100. I think Lucille's may be past its prime. read more

Okay I honestly was not a huge fan of this restaurant, it was pretty average in terms of a rating. to preface, I am not a big seafood person, and I was going to dinner with seafood eaters so I didn't have much choice...but I assumed there would be at least a handful of other things to order on the menu. I recognize that a seafood place wouldn't have much for me to order as a vegetarian, but I was a bit peeved that the only option was a build your own pizza. I had hoped for at least a salad, but most of the salad options had meat, and I didn't want to pay the price of a meal that would've included meat, and would just end up being lettuce and bread. The pizza was pretty good, it was slightly undercooked in the middle but the toppings were a bit burnt. I still ate a few slices and enjoyed my company. Despite the food setbacks and the overall pretty loud atmosphere since it's very popular with locals, the service was great. No complaints there - our server was very attentive and made sure to fill our water cups throughout the meal. I really appreciated it! read more

We were out to attend a holiday concert and decided to make it a special "date night" with dinner out. I vacillated on several choices in the area we were going to be and decide on Lucile's Stateside Bistro. We hadn't dined there in a VERY long time. As usual, the restaurant was hopping on a Saturday evening. Lucile's is always busy, and parking can be a challenge. They're very landlocked in with how their property is situated. When we drove up, patience was the key. We finally scored a parking place that wasn't too far from the front door. There was a "wait" on but since we had reservations, we were seated immediately. Thank goodness for that, we didn't want to be late for out concert at the arena. We looked over the menu. My wife, who absolutely loves chicken salad ordered the chicken salad sandwich accompanied with French fries. I ordered the Lobster and Scallop Fettuccine Alfredo. As we waited on our orders, a basket of fresh baked bread was brought to our table for us to enjoy. After an acceptable wait, especially considering how swamped the restaurant was, our entrees were delivered to our table. Both of our entrees were picture perfect. My wife said her chicken salad sandwich was very delicious. My seafood was very good. Personally, I would have liked the Fettuccine Alfredo sauce to have been a bit thicker, but the taste of the dish was delicious with lots of seafood. Thank you, Lucile's for a wonderful visit, we'll be back to see you again sometime in the future. read more

5 stars on service!!!! Olga was our server and she was training Harper tonight! Definitely top notch service! Harper said she's been there for 2years and now moving on to serving! Definitely the right move and decision by this restaurant! Olga was very attentive. My son ordered strawberry lemonade and 5mnts in I asked him you're not even drinking your drink. He said this is my 2nd one already. I didn't even ask and they brought one out to me! Wow!! Food was good. Wish crab cake has more flavor to it. But the side pasta was good, it was light and delish. Both pasta and crab cake needed salt though. Rib eye was excellent. Definitely will come back for that. My son enjoyed his salmon on plank and rice. He said he can have 2nd. Overall the 5stars definitely go to Olga and Harper tonight! If we ended up coming back they are the reason we will be back for! Keep it up! read more

Eh. If you like too much butter, a bit too much fried, and heavy food, knock your heart out. Maybe literally. Space is very much a diner/bistro vibe. Staff was ok. But honestly gave the 'I don't care vibe' Food was not great. Everything was covered in butter, cheese and fried. And don't get me wrong. I like those approaches, but not on everything. We ordered lobster bites, stuffed mushroom, one of their specials, crab cakes and more. So we got a good tasting of what their food entails. For the price point too, find a Trulucks or Perry's and get better quality seafood. So again. Eh. Unless you like it deep fried and smothered. read more

They are smart enough to be open till 10:00 p.m. on a Saturday night. The chicken fried steak is out of this world, huge, tender and flavorful. They use real mashed potatoes, we've been found a lump or two which we were fine with, because it's proof. The gravy was so good and the rolls and butter are amazing. I like this place because they have everything from lobster to hamburgers. Whatever food you like, you can probably find something. I have not been here in about 3 years so it was a nice treat. Oh and by the way the manager and the wait staff are top notch. They are very attentive. I wish I had taken a picture. read more

Lucille's -- Fort Worth, TX I couldn't help but wonder... was this Caesar salad just a salad, or was it a relationship metaphor covered in parmesan? At Lucille's, I ordered it finely chopped --because like men, I prefer my lettuce in manageable pieces. The dressing clung to each leaf like a well-timed compliment, and the croutons had the kind of kick that makes you rethink your five-year plan. Our server was attentive but never intrusive--proof that boundaries can be respected, even in Texas. We arrived at 4:40 p.m.--early enough to avoid the dinner crowd, late enough to feel like we were skipping school. The patio was quiet, the iced tea was strong, and I realized I might have accidentally joined the ranks of "geriatric millennials" who value good lighting over nightlife. It was a solid 4/5 experience. A salad as stable and reliable as the one man you dated in college to make your situationship jealous--sweet, dependable, probably owns a Crock-Pot. And yet... not risky enough to make you cancel your flight, sell your couch, and run away to Spain. Because maybe salads, like men, are best when they surprise you. And these croutons? They were the motorcycle in the garage, the tattoo under the cufflink, the quiet little thrill reminding you that even the safest choices can have sharp edges. read more

Service was quick easy and great. Clean. Food was good. Cant complain about the toasty Warm bread with butter. Went for Sunday lunch, crowd noise level was pretty loud. So if you're looking for something average noise level more relax and laid back, this is probably not the place. They offer reservations on the open table app! Seafood pasta was great.

I sat outside which I wouldn't recommend. The servers have to go out the side door instead of the door connecting to the patio for some reason.

My friend and I stumbled upon this place after trying to find parking at the antique mall. It has diner like vibes. Plenty of seating. Nice lighting during the day. A lobster tank. We were seated shortly after arriving. My only issue was the table we were seated at wasn't to my cleanliness expectations. My elbow had gotten wet from something. Crumbs from the last customers were on the table. I just grabbed another table napkin and wiped it off. Later during the meal I did notice something on the ground but I'll just let that one slide. Our waitress was very helpful and refilled my friend's coffee multiple times. She also recommended the lobster roll if you're feeling fresh. We were also able to split the dishes so that was nice. We tried the po boy as well. I liked both the sweet potato fries and the home made chips. Lobster roll was head and shoulders above the po boy. Definitely go for the lobster roll. Lobster bisque was delicious. Glad I got the bowl. I never had the fried green tomato before but it didn't stand out much to me. Overall nice experience. read more

First off, the lobster bisque was amazing! Delicious and full of flavor! But the shrimp in the shrimp salad were of such poor quality...I would have give zero stars if possible. They were absolutely flavorless and the poop vein was not removed or cleaned! GROSS! If you can't offer quality shrimp...DO NOT serve it. You guys should know better. P.S. I just read past reviews and the issue of not deveining the shrimp has been brought to your attention over the past two years...so this seems like an issue you are never going to resolve. Sad. read more
