Picking up culinary inspiration from some of the best barbeque shacks in the South, we developed a thriving concept around "Serving the Best Bar-B-Que with the Finest Southern Hospitality." And it wasn't long before folks declared it a saucy success. Of course, even the best barbeque tastes a little better with some live blues to go along with it, which is why no visit to Lucille's is complete without a stopover at the Flying Pig Lounge for some southern libations and foot stomping fun. Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-B-Que currently has 23 locations in California, Arizona and Nevada.
