I love Lucille's and use to eat there before, I knew that I had Celiac Disease. I actually got a way with eating there a couple of times and the help was knowledgeable. The mistake I made was eating there after the waitress told me they were making their homemade biscuits in the back, which meant flour was going to be in the air and could settle on my food. I was stupid back then and ate there anyway,. I was so sick for several days after. I have never eaten at Lucille's again, because of that. If they are making their homemade pies or biscuits the flour will be in the air and will settle down on your food. I was warned ahead of time, so it was totally my fault. So, this is just a warning. Make sure before you order their food that they are not going to be baking in the kitchen, if they are don't order, because you will be sick.

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
