I'm a big fan of the music at BB King Blues Club which is in the main room, and usually after the show my friends and I like to go into Lucille's for a drink. Due to unfavorable reviews and the fact that we usually eat before we go out on the town, I had stayed away from the food at Lucille's for all of the years I had been there. However, my girlfriend and I showed up over an hour before a show at BB King's a few weeks back, and after being informed that the menu had recently been restructured, we decided to eat our dinner at Lucille's. We started by sharing the Catfish Fingers (a little taste of home) which were properly cooked and tasty, not too heavy. For our main meals I had the brisket of beef and my girlfriend had the red snapper, and both of us were pleasantly surprised. We also shared a side of pureed sweet potatoes. The brisket was a large portion and plenty of food, and according to my girlfriend, the snapper was cooked perfectly. We had no room for desert but shared some Key Lime Pie anyway, and I'm glad we did, it was delicious. So we've decided we're changing our routine - instead of just coming in for drinks to Lucille's after seeing a show in the main room at BB King's, we're coming here first to have dinner. There's live music in Lucille's and it's free, so we plan to check that out as well. And by the size of the crowd at Lucille's when we were there last, it seems like others are catching on as well. Highly recommended.
Pros: Great food, free live music, bluesy atmosphere, good drinks
