I thought this place was absolutely delicious. I didn't get sick here, but it does explicitly say "gluten conscious", not "gluten-free". It is a separate menu, so ask for it at the hostess desk.

Locals love it and the ribs were to die for. Totally worth the stop.

Love Lucilles and their food. Have never gotten sick here, but it’s important to do your homework before you go on what you can and can’t eat. They don’t make GF to order but have a list of items that are already gluten free, so cross contamination may be high.

They had a separate GF menu, although the staff were not knowledgeable about Celiac and cross contamination. The first plate they gave me wasn’t washed properly and had old food on the underside which made me very very nervous. The waitress even claimed that “she didn’t think” the dressing provided on the GF menu was in fact GF. She was not sure which salad dressings were GF so I became even more nervous. I did not feel safe eating here. I ended up just getting a baked potato and had to eat dinner when I got home. Unfortunately not a good experience.

Ordered take out from here and explained I have celiac disease and will get sick with anything that has gluten in it, they said they understood. THERE WAS ONE LONELY MACARONI NOODLE IN MY STEAMED VEGETABLES! You kidding me? I feel like that was done on purpose.

A little pricey depending on what you get. I got pulled pork, mashed potatoes and the baked beans. It was all very good. My father-in-law had a non-gluten free meal and thought it was really good too.

Lucille's is great and their gluten free menu is very extensive. However, I've eaten there twice now (I thought I was sick from something else containing gluten the first time) and I've been very sick both times. I didn't want to be negative but I can't really trust this restaurant especially when I specify that I cannot eat gluten and end up getting sick anyway.

This is gluten free heaven. You can get just about anything you want BBQ'd!! Excellent food and big portions.

Not safe for celiacs. We told the waitress of our “allergy” and were given the gluten-sensitive menu. She didn’t really seem knowledgeable or helpful. The sauces ARE labeled gluten free and we ordered from the gluten-sensitive menu but cross-contamination is clearly an issue for those who have celiac. We took a risk eating here and while the food was good, it didn’t work out for us. My daughter was bloated and vomiting within the hour… her usual symptoms. Celiacs should probably avoid.

I did not feel good after I ate here. The BBQ sauce I was told was GF was the original, and it was not good. Way too sweet. I did not see a label for GF on the BBQ sauce bottle on the table.

They have a separate gluten free menu with many options. All their sauces and spices are gluten free. The waiter was helpful in navigating for other allergies as well. Great dinner or lunch spot for GF.

Food was very good, they have a gluten sensitive menu and do not guarantee gluten free. It was a happy medium for me and my husband as he has no gluten sensitivity and I have celiac disease. There is high risk for contamination so be careful. I let server know about celiac and he told kitchen. I choose items that tend to be gluten free and stear away from items with high risk for contamination. I enjoyed my time here
