Amazing Food Amazing Value. I would hire them again

Lucille's out did themselves! I can't believe the amount of tasty food we got. If you want GOOD food for am amazing value Lucille's is definitely underrated. There food did not taste mass produced or lack any flavor! its just like you would get in the restaurant! High Quality and Delicious. if your on a budget or just simply want good food hire them you will not be disappointed. I ordered the full service pulled pork and tried tip sandwiches. there was plenty of food and we had nothing but complements. Not to mention the appetizers were a hit! I keep hearing about how much there was and how good the queso and sausage links were. The price point doesn't even come close to quality! they Killed it!

Outstanding Food & Service!

Lucille's catered our Wedding Celebration Party on March 23 with an on-site Grill Master and personal catering staff. Today is April 12, and people are STILL talking about how fabulous the food was! My husband, who is a huge foodie and BBQ fan, summed it up when he said, "You never expect everything to go perfectly or everything on the menu to be awesome, but IT WAS!" He said there was not one thing he could criticize, and I completely agree with him. We fed our guests the brisket burnt ends, chicken, ribs, Cajun shrimp, baked beans, garlic mashed potatoes, corn-on-the-cob, and seasoned vegetables. All of the above came with biscuits and apple butter, as well as sliced watermelon. Everything was delicious. Many of our guests went back for seconds, and some went back for thirds! Lucille's packaged up all the leftovers and we left them out for guests to take what they wanted home with them. We still had food leftover after that! To say Lucille's portions are generous is an understatement. They took care of us in every way - from the first time I contacted them until after the dinner service. I cannot thank Lucille's enough for making our special evening even more memorable. My husband and I will always keep Lucille's at the top of our list for future catering, as well as recommending them with the highest praise!

Wedding catering

Lucille’s catered to my wedding on March 23rd at the national orange show sports center in San Bernardino, CA. Mind you that same day there was a rave and the traffic was bad. They arrived on time. Not only did they arrive on time but the wedding party along with me ( the bride) and my husband (the groom) got to the venue over an hour and a half late due to chaotic traffic. They went over the time they were supposed to pack up and leave. Instead they were so nice about it they still stayed and served all my guests with no complaints what so ever! I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for BBQ catering they were amazing. All my guests loved the food and were asking where there nearest restaurant is so they could eat it again in the near future. I would definitely do business with them again in the future.

I Loved our experience with Lucille’s!

We are so happy to have chosen Lucille’s to cater our wedding. I feel bad that I’m unable to recall the girl’s name, but she was beyond AMAZING! She was not only so kind and professional, she was extremely patient. We had several children at our wedding and she was just awesome to the little ones. We would definitely love to have Lucille’s cater our events in the future! I’m sorry it took me so many months to write this review. Thank you!

Amazing Wedding Dinner for our 200 Guests

This is our 2nd time using Lucilles BBQ for our kids' weddings. Amazing Service, Great food and lots of it, wonderful to work with. Truly, it could not have been better!! Our power went out for a short while during our reception, without missing a beat the caterores used their cell phone flashlights to light up the buffet table so our guests could see every thing.
Very highly recommended!
Thank you, Sherrie DeVries

My son's wedding.

They catered my son's small yet elegant wedding given only a weeks notice. They delivered on time, it was kept hot and tasted delicious, just like barbeque is suppose to be. They set up the food in an appitizing manner and made sure that we did not need anything else. It was so relaxing for me, the grooms mother. I would do it again in a heart beat. Thank you so much!

A country wedding

My husband and I are fan of anything Lucille's makes so it was a given that we would have it for our wedding dinner. Our guest loved the onsite grill and the servers were helpful in anything we needed. They provided everything needed and they even clean up so its one less things to worry about on such a hectic day. Did I mention the food was amazing? because it was.
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
