Very good food. The bbq sauces are gluten free. I could not figure out which one I liked better. Very generous servings. I had the brisket with garlic mashed potatoes and braised greens. The waitress was knowledgeable about celiac.

Found a onion straw in my peanut cole slaw after I ordered off the gluten-free menu and specified to the waiter I got very sick if I eat gluten. Manager and waiter felt horrible and were very nice, but I can't trust the place.

Lucille’s is a great place to go if you are worried about gluten. The majority of their menu is gluten free naturally, their bbq sauces are marked gluten free right on the label and the staff is great about making sure your gluten free needs are observed. The food was amazing, the staff friendly and an all around satisfying place to eat without the worry.

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.

Despite ordering off the GF menu and explaining that I had an allergy, my food still came out with a side of Mac and cheese. Add to this that it was the worst Brisket I have ever had, dry, tiny pieces, everything was either fat or burnt. Do not recommend
