Came here with friends for dinner on a Monday night. First off, they are open on Mondays, so keep that it mind. It seems that many businesses in Fort Wayne are closed on Mondays, but no one ever seems to know why. Second, this place is GREAT! Super food, 6 different types of sauce that you can serve yourself. I tried the brisket sandwich and it is so flavorful, you really don't need any sauce. Great selection of sides, and very reasonable prices. Outside seating, too. They don't hurry you to finish your meal, just leaving the check which you can pay at the counter when you leave. Highly recommend it. Good beans and coleslaw, too. Bob L. read more

Lucille's BBQ - 1/2 slab to go w/ smoked cabbage and beans - American Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

I have not yet dined in the restaurant, but have had them cater a couple times for work. The food was always delicious and no complaints from 175+ people. Adrienne, the catering manager, also rocks. I can't wait to update my review when I can finally find the time to make it into the restaurant! read more

Some of the best bbq I've had! Great ribs, great sauces! Meat falls off the bones. Staff is always very pleasant.

Well I tried this place for the first time on a recommendation and was a little disappointed after receiving the bill. The place wasn't that busy with only one server that was available. She seemed to be very busy answering the phone for Togo orders while we sat for 10 minutes before our order was taken. When finally getting the bill. This place has a "customer service fee of .95" to run a debit card. Seriously? I'm already spending money to eat there why should the customer have to pay a fee on top of paying for the food and drink??? This fee should be the responsibility of the business. It may sound petty but you've lost my business over .95 cents. And we eat out 4 times a week read more

By far the best pulled pork I've had in Fort Wayne.. maybe in my life defiantly will be back tomorrow read more

Lucille's BBQ - Pulled pork, with there cheesy Mac n cheese - American Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Seems to have really went down hill. Menu changes and new one on Maplecrest this location is never busy anymore.

Very impressed with the entire visit. Friendly service and easy parking. You may dine in and they serve you at wooden tables. We ordered the burnt end and brisket sandwich. We got beans, coleslaw, and corn muffins as sides. They have a sauce bar so you can pick your own sauce after trying the different kinds. Our burnt end had that smoky rich flavor. No fatty pieces and not dried up. The brisket was melt in your mouth delicious! I used the Texas BBQ sauce with the brisket. The sides were just as great as the entrees. Corn bread wasn't crumbly and had a sugar coating on top. The coleslaw was a good balance of creamy and cabbage. The beans were on the sweeter side and one of our favorites. Give it a try! You won't be disappointed. read more

We loved Lucille's beef brisket, pulled pork, burnt ends, and sausage. Love the choice of sauces and sides, especially the mashed potatoes, corn and cheese, and cheesy potatoes. Call ahead to find out what they are out of because they sell out quickly. Deeeelicious!!! Great service and pleasant, and very busy people. I love the outside seating also. Recommend highly. Guy Fieri from Diners, Drive Ins, and Dives should come here to try all the great food! read more

This place was alright, not great and not terrible. Way over priced for what you get. My son got the brisket platter, there was like 5 strips of brisket. You would think you were buying steak lol I would recommend shigs and pit rather than this place. I had the rib tips, a little dry but overall good. The nachos were the best thing about the place, huge portion for the right price.The service was below average. Slow read more

I'm a barbecue guy. This place rocks! We had pulled pork nachos.. enough for 2. Was wonderful. Ordered a burnt end sandwich and ended up taking it home because the nachos were huge. Great food. Really nice location and vibe...and the price was reasonable. You won't be disappointed!! read more

Awesome pulled pork sammich! And I loved the cheddar corn! My husband enjoyed his meal as well! And the tea was great!

We arrived when the doors opened at 11am. The server greeted us by first expressing the 5 things they were out of. She acted as if we was interrupting her by rolling her eyes, sarcastic and unfriendly tones and an overall sense of laziness from the whole the entire establishment. Our ribs were cold but still delicious. Upon paying we was asked about the food. Expressing how the ribs were cold but still good, her response was if we had said something they would've brought us fresh hot ribs. Made us wonder what ribs we were given. Last nights?! read more

Went to Shigs and pit today to compare with Lucille's on Travis advise. He must work at Shigs. The standard to judge is not ribs but brisket. Lucille's has undoubtably the best brisket I have had.....period. This Tennessee boy knows BBQ all over the country. Shigs was like eating jerky. I have all my teeth too. Not all Tennesseans have no teeth. Did not finish it. Sides are excellent don't listen to Travis read more

Sorry Lucille but I stopped by tonight to order dinner to go, stood in line for 6 or 7 minutes and was mortified by the lack of procedures in place for masking. Girl at the register had hers down pat her nose, I repeatedly watch at least 3 people emerge from the back who were clearly not wearing masks and I literally watched a server come out with an armful of plates and silverware, walk past the customers in line and into the dining room not wearing a mask. To add insult to injury, she didn't even appear to have one around her neck. Are you watching what is happening in Chicago??? This type of behavior only makes me wonder what happens during non-COVID times. As much as I loved your food, I won't be back. This saddens me as we always try to patronize locally owned businesses instead of the large chains. read more

Brought my family of 11 to eat for my birthday dinner. We pulled two tables together for all of us to sit. After sitting for a few minutes, someone from the restaurant comes out and says "we don't pull tables together" and proceeds to separate us and walks away. Didn't say sorry or anything to accommodate what would have been a large sale. I've been here many times and they have good food but I will never come back. read more

Lucille's is my favorite barbecue in Fort Wayne! We had them cater our wedding & our guests loved it. Would definitely recommend, both for a quick meal & for their catering services! read more

A nice new place (for us) to try. The food is really good if you like your smoked meats! I'm not the biggest fan of them, but gave it a try. I enjoyed the pork nachos but got a few bites of just smoke. They didn't skimp on the toppings and I like the queso and shredded cheese combo. I prefer the Texas sauce over the house, but there are several other from which to choose. Service was very friendly and prompt. We had table service outside but did not get checked on or offered refills on drinks after food arrived until we were done and ready to go. Pay at the register when you are finished. read more

Lucille's BBQ - Huge pulled pork nachos loaded with lots of toppings, great for sharing! Brisket sandwich and white cheddar corn. - American Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Oh my goodness we tried for the first time tonight. Ribs and brisket, Mac and cheese, garlic and cheesy potatoes, and coleslaw. It was all amazing! Every bite was followed by mmmm. I'm so depressed that it took this long to discover it. Huge portions too. So good! We will def be back many times. There's enough left for another dinner for two. It was amazing. And our to go order was done in under 10 mins on a Friday. read more

The pulled pork nachos are great! The full size is huge, enough for a couple people to share. They have 6 to 7 different sauces lined out for you to help yourself. Kind of small inside but there is an outdoor seating area. read more

Well shoot, came here for the first time in a long time to give it another try. I want to like this place but they are out of just too much stuff. No rib tips, burgers and nearly half their sides. They were actually out of fries! How is that possible? Fries go w BBQ so that sucked. Got the ribs though and they were great. Mixed feelings on it but probably a while before I come back again. Just out of too much stuff! read more

The best waitress there,is Allison.Regency Court on Jog Rd. The ribs are delicious,meaty,so tasty. Homemsde coleslaw is delicious.11.99 with two sides. Free refills of soda. read more

The worst thing was good... everything else was excellent. The pulled pork was perfect, and the sauce bar is extensive. Love the smoked cabbage side - like kimchi. What a great place! Thanks Lucile! read more

Dont waste your time with this joint. Pulled pork was overcooked, under seasoned, extremely dry. The brisket was overcooked, sliced improperly, disgustingly greasy. The mac and cheese was in a pool of soupy milk. I spent 58.00 and ate one bite of everything. Absolutely disgusting. read more

I really don't like giving negative reviews, but we just did not have a good first experience here. We were looking for a BBQ place a bit closer to home than our normal haunt. I found this place on Yelp and it had great reviews so I figured, "Why not?" Upon entering, I liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. It was clean, the employees were friendly, and the decor was interesting. On top of that, they had TV's with sports going. We sat down and waited for a bit for someone from the kitchen to bring out the menus. There were some interesting things on the menu, so we were excited. I noticed that they had a BBQ bar with several bottles of about 4 (I think) different BBQ sauces. I tried 3 of them - the spicy, house, and Texas. All of them were extremely good with the Texas being my favorite. I ordered the brisket with the poblano mac & cheese and corn muffins. My wife ordered the house-made sausage with beans and white cheddar creamed corn. In addition we ordered an extra order of corn muffins. Our meals took about 25-30 minutes to get to us once we ordered. Upon receiving our meals, we noticed there were no corn bread muffins. The woman (not our waitress) went to get them and then came back and informed us that they were out of corn bread muffins. We decided to nix the extra order and I decided on the cheesy potatoes...which they were out of also. In the end, I just got an extra order of the corn for my wife. This might be nitpicking but we're not sure why they waited until they brought our meals to inform us about the muffins, but we noticed they did that to another table. Now, I'm trying not to be too critical as I am not a BBQ expert. My brisket was not at all what I had envisioned. Perhaps I've watched BBQ Pitmasters too much, but what I received looked nothing like the brisket I had seen on TV. On TV it was firm, lean, and a nice color. The brisket I received was not firm at all, was comprised of probably 25% fat, and more of a grayish color. The flavor was okay, obviously much better with the BBQ sauce (the intent, I realize). The star of the order was the poblano cream Mac & cheese. It was amazing - creamy, cheesy, and flavorful. We were not overly impressed with the sausage. It was dry and barely warm. It had a good flavor, but again the BBQ made it all the better. She said the corn was quite good but the beans were so-so. The corn, however, was inconsistent. The side my wife first got was far better than the second, which was slightly burnt. Overall, it was a bit of a letdown based on the reviews I had read. Perhaps it was just an off day? I'm not sure, but it didn't leave us wanting to come back, which is a shame because we need some more BBQ places on the north side. read more

I stopped in today and tried the place out. It was empty, the menu had dinners, but they had everything in quarts and pounds so that was a big plus. We got burnt end, ribs, Brisket, BBQ beans, chipotle Mac-N-Cheese, slaw, and Brussels sprouts. It was a huge amount of food. The place has a BBQ bar and has a few real good sauces. We liked the Texas and Raspberry Chipotle the best. Good Vinegar! The Brisket cut was good. The flavor held nicely. But beware if you got kids there is Horseradish in the slaw. We liked it a lot but it was a shock for the kids but it killed the cabbage after taste. Real Nice. Down side Lima Rd and you got to get to it going south bound only. But worth the u-turn. read more

Lucille's BBQ - The burnt ends. Well worth it! - American Near Me - Fort Wayne, Indiana

Wow! A BBQ place in Fort Wayne? Awesome! It was my first time here, however I did not dine in. The place wasn't hard to locate either. I went on a weekday so it wasn't too busy. Lucky me :)! The menu had a variety of meats - pulled pork, ribs, chicken, briskest, and sausages. Each platter comes with two sides. They also have another menu where you can order by the lbs. We decided to get the full rack of ribs and 1/2 chicken... Let's just say we had a lot of food!! Our sides consist of cheesy potatoes & Mac-n-cheese. The corn bread muffins are so good!!! Make sure you order that! The ribs and chicken was pretty legit considering there's not a lot of places in FW that has yummy BBQ foods. It was fully cooked and flavorful. Oh they also have a bunch of different sauces that you can get which is located on the side of the restaurant (Texas BBQ, raspberry chipotle, spicy BBQ, etc) my favorite was the spicy BBQ (I like anything that's spicy =P) As for pricing, it's okay for the amount and quality of the food you're getting. I'll definitely be back if I'm craving for some BBQ! read more

Damn this was a good lunch. First off the ribs are fantastic. Perfectly cooked, Smokey tender delicious competition tender, but not over done fall off the bone Shit. The Mac and Cheese, Brussels and Corn were all delicious. The burnt ends sandwich was flavorful but a little on the dry side. That being said, it had awesome smokey flavor. The BBQ sauce are all pretty good. Really liked the Carolina Mustard sauce. The original is good too. This place is not cheap, but that being said this is really good BBQ. Will be back to try the brisket and pulled pork. Definitely recommend. read more

We went there because of the wonderful reviews and we were not disappointed! My son ordered a full slab only while I ordered a half slab with 2 sides, the cheesy potatoes and the Wilson's beans. We got our order to go and my son also wanted the Brownie Sundae. The service was quick and the whole way home we kept talking about how yummy everything smelled. As soon as we walked in the door my son grabbed his full slab (& tried to take my half slab!) I took a small portion of his Brownie Sundae and sat down to eat. The food was Amazing!!!! The beans are perfectly seasoned, the taters were delicious and, while I took some house sauce home, I really didn't need any for the ribs. I think I could have eaten a whole slab myself! The Brownie Sundae was the perfect ending to my meal. The portions were spot on and we'll definitely go back! read more

Loved everything I got, especially the white cheddar corn. Can't wait to go back and explore more of the menu

Best bbq in town! We've gone several times to get it to go and it's great tasting every time! The turkey and pulled pork is what we get most often. The turkey is so moist, great the next day in a sandwich. read more

Our server was super friendly (important for restaurants to know) and the food was great. We got the 3 meat combo and enjoyed every bite trying several sauces in the process. Definitely going to try this place again read more

A+! I had no idea this place opened up, but came here for lunch last week and was soo happy I did! My fiance and I both opted for one of the specials: he had the brisket sandwich, I had the pulled pork sandwich. The brisket sandwich had all sorts of fixins on it, included mashed potatoes; I had a bite and was in heaven. My pulled pork sandwich came with the most perfectly fried egg (crispy edges, beautiful runny yolk) and had succulent meat. I liked the brisket meat better, but both were winners. The mac and cheese side was so decadent but I thought the ratio of pasta to sauce was a little off (way too much sauce to noodles). I really enjoyed the baked corn side. We will definitely be back to try all of the sauces (had the house, which was perfect, and the Texas, which was not our favorite) and the ribs!! read more

We tried the ribs and pulled pork both were great! Next time we're looking forward to trying the burnt ends and brisket. For the sides, we tried the cheesy potatoes, Wilson beans, drunken apples and mac n cheese. Our favorites are in that order. They offer a great selection of bbq sauce, our favorite was the Texas bbq sauce. read more

The best in town. Variety of sauces that would please any pallet. Side are scrumptious and homemade. Unique to boot! Blues music and clean, inviting atmosphere. Only downfall-wanted burnt ends and at opening time on a Friday, they still had an hour to go in the smoker. Second choice was brisket and it was spectacular. No need to travel in shady parts of town now. We have a new and better bbq on the north side. I can't say enough great things about this place. They run out of food quickly, but that's a good sign!!! read more

Love this place. But just like Shigs and Pit their brisket is fatty. Seems they could learn from BoDoogies in Auburn on how to do brisket. Their pulled pork IMO is the best around along with their sides. read more

Initial impression was not a great experience at 5:45 pm on a Saturday night. No one greeted us but we were welcomed by other customers. The sign said out of Burnt Ends. No Ice Tea. (BBQ and Ice Tea go very well together, but not here). No brisket available. Considered heading out at that point. We stayed and the food we had made up for the for 10 minutes. The turkey was great as well as the pulled pork. The sides were a good portion and tasty. I'll come back and give them a second chance. They also do not have a good selection of non carbonated drinks for those who don't so soda. read more

BBQ Brisket Caesar Salad was phenomena. I love smoky BBQ and Lucille's has lots of flavor & several bbq sauce choices. M going back

Everyone loved the food. Ribs, brisket, sausage, and burnt ends were all FIRE! The sides; Mac n cheese, cheese corn, baked beans, mashed potatoes, pinto beans, and broccoli salad were all equally fire. Do yourself a favor and get there. We'll be back read more

First time visit did not disappoint. Brisket sandwich was awesome, loved all the sauce options. Cole slaw and Mac and cheese were great as well. Service was great. This one should really be a 4.5. Highly recommend. read more
