    Ok this place is a must stop. Breakfast was so good and our server Nate was awesome! Eggs were perfectly cooked, bloody Mary were omg good. Ask for off menu items as well.

    The service was absolutely amazing! Maria deserves a raise! The food was top notch almost as good as what I have in New Orleans! Try the beignets they are delightful!

    Plenty of open seating on a Tuesday morning. Didn't order traditional creole breakfast meals - so I can't speak to how authentic the flavors are, but what we did order was well prepared and tasty. My husband had the fluffiest sausage omelet with a side of crispy potatoes while I had the blueberry pancakes with a side of cheese grits. Left full and satisfied by the food. We have been to three different locations and though the atmosphere of this one is not as charming as the other two (in my opinion), the service was stellar on this morning. One of the servers chatted about how crazy their holiday weekend traffic had been. Cute patio seating available but we chose to sit at the bar...and though I can appreciate that health inspectors are neccessary and do their job for our benefit - watching two that arrived as we were eating and checking out everything behind the bar was a distraction. Not the fault of the Lucile's team but it did impact my experience. Overall - good food and friendly staff.

    I’m so happy I found this amazing and beautiful Creole restaurant !! The food is just so delicious and authentic Creole cooking like straight from my mother’s kitchen. This place will definitely be one of my favorite spots to eat at . And the atmosphere was just as pleasing as the food. Thank you guys for the great customer service and being so welcoming.

    First time at Lucile's and it was delicious! We were visiting from NY and this was the best breakfast we ever had! The biscuits, jalapeno cheesy grits, and salmon was soulful. The Cuban OJ was also very good.

    Wonderful atmosphere and the staff is very friendly. A rare 5-star review for me, but that’s because everything is just a little bit better here. Great homemade jam and hot sauce on the table. Wonderful Bloody Mary, and awesome grits and southern flare. I’ve been to the other two locations as well, but this one stands out for space, parking, and the nice patio. Oh, always say yes to beignets!

    We went for brunch today. The staff was very friendly and the food was also great! We tried beignets, shrimp & grits and creole omelet. The biscuits that come with the meals are really delicious too. We will definitely go back to try other meals!

    Really great breakfast/brunch/lunch place. Had the Pain Perdu, and it was some of the best French toast I've ever had. And one of the first times I've ever not put butter on it. The syrup is killer! The homemade anduille sausage wss amazing and had just the right amount of heat, and the presentation was great. Will definitely be back again! Only negative I can say is that because they are open such short hours, and their food is so delicious, finding a place to park was a nightmare but I can't put that on the restaurant.

    So adorable this New Orleans style, Cafe. This charming little southern nook was absolutely darling. Very adorable mixed, matched from the decor to the dining utensils, and even the toiletries. Large tables for dining, vintage, and antique decor with plenty of windows for lighting. The countertop for dining is unique and inviting. First, let's start out with sweet fresh squeezed orange juice and a nice blend of coffee. Here, they are in all their glory beignets. Square shaped lightly toasted and so light and airy, and did I mention smothered in powdered sugar? YUM! Now, that's heavenly I ordered the Eggs Eisenhower with potatoes and bacon. The potatoes were heavily seasoned and a little on the dry side. The homemade ketchup was devine and bursting with flavor. The bacon was flavorful and a little dry. The eggs were plentiful and enjoyable, but room temperature. Also included were 2 generous size homemade biscuits and jam. Just looking at them had my mind thinking of how good they were going to be. Yep, the biscuits brought back memories for me, and the taste is just like home. PERFECT! The homemade jam was delightful and full of tang. The staff was very engaging and professional. The staff are prideful in this business, and it shows with their attention to your needs and detail. Thank you for your hard work!

    Cami was awesome! Food well exceeded our expectations. Cajun Breakfast, Pancakes, Eggs Benedict, Omelette, Beignets, potatoes, all excellent. Nice portion size and the biscuit was a monster size!

    This is a famously tasty restaurant and I love this location. Their counter area is extremely cute. I got the daily special burrito and my lunch mate got the trout eggs Benedict and they were both stellar dishes. Plan to split or take leftovers home because the portions and biscuits are generous.

    Giving 3 stars for the food. The biscuit is really tasty must try. I ordered hot coffee and it was cold. The cup was not clean at all. Ordered blackened salmon it was good. I wish the food was hot and fresh. It felt they prepared it a while back and gave me. I had to request water and that too the waitress came to me after calling many times. They just ignored me when i tried to call them. Its overpriced if its cold and poor service. Otherwise its good.

    I saw mostly positive reviews of this place but sprinkled in some negative and I understand why. The place is pretty large and we only waited a few minutes to get in, but once we sat our waitress was not attentive at all. She never brought us biscuits until we asked and when we finally got them they were not warm. They tasted good but would've been so good fresh. I would've asked for some more but she never came back. My shrimp and grits were great I would say about a 9/10 but I have had better which is disappointing considering the reviews before hand. The jams were unique but nothing mouth watering. I would say it was a little overhyped for what it was especially coming from the south. It did not have that southern charm within the food or the building although not for lack of trying. The atmosphere inside was odd but unique. I would give the food a solid 4/5 but the service for us personally was a 0 but I do not judge a place too harshly off one bad server. I would suggest eating here if it wasn't too busy but would not wait hours in line.

    Excellent service and atmosphere. Best Bloody Mary in Denver, in my opinion. Good food and great portions, Louisiana style! The beignets are a must. Abigail was our server and she's delightful. Definitely 5 stars all around.

    Lucille's is a decent restaurant with good Cajun cuisine which is seldom found in the Rockies. I had the Eggs Pontchartrain with a good cup of chicory coffee. My wife had shrimp and grits. Both plates were excellent. Room felt a little cold and the wait was a little longer than expected. Bathrooms clean and moderate.

    This is a great place for brunch. Fun Louisiana decor, great Bloody Marys, and delicious Southern food. I love the beignets and grits.

    Very cute place. Waiter was attentive and kind. Food was lukewarm and under seasoned. We would definitely come back and give it another try but I wasn't very impressed with the variety of the menu or the temperature/taste of the food. This place was packed and seems to have a lot of potential. Maybe we caught them on an off day. Biscuits were good and grits were a very good consistency for this region. They tasted more like Southern style grits for sure not the hard things you sometimes get out west. I wish they were hot though! Also this place is essentially all breakfast. They only have a small amount of non breakfast items so keep that in mind if you're in a lunch mood go elsewhere.

    The food is fantastic! The cheesy jalapeño grits are an entire vibe. I would go back just for those. The service was a little lack luster, had to wave down our server for coffee/water/drink refills, and they never cleared plates. But the food is fantastic 😋

    The flavor was absolutely delicious and the Chai tea really was superb! I definitely recommend the Beignets, so tasty.

  • 5/5 Sara W. 1 year ago on Google
    Friendly service and cute place! Food was so good!! I got the Eggs New Orleans and it had great flavors. My friend got the Eggs Sardou and loved it as well. Both came with a huge biscuit that was really good with the apple butter. A ton of food!

    Amazing! My daughter and her boyfriend are regulars and they finally took me. Great food and atmosphere. There was a wait, it was a Saturday. They quoted 40 min but it was only about 15 minutes. Highly recommend.

    Everything here is Special! Choose from outstanding Breakfast/ Lunch menu choices that come with house potatoes and/or creamy grits, or a simple rich coffee with a deep fried French 'doughnut'' Beignet. I had both. 😋 The biscuits are huge and perfectly flakey. They come with your choice of home made jams or Cajun sausage gravy. I had both. They serve generous mix drinks and the staff is so welcoming.

    This is a must try spot in the Denver area. The house made spicy ketchup is soooo good. The B&G are life changing. Literally everything was superb!

    Born and raised in New Orleans. This place has been on the list for some time now. The shrimp & grits were really good. The andouille really set things off. However, the grits were a little too watered down, wish they were a little thicker to uphold the gravy. The biscuits were good with the pepper jelly. We also had the Carlin County. Sausage gravy was awesome. The beignets should be complimentary or taken off the menu. The dough was too dense for a beignet. Plenty of seating and roomy. Overall a good experience.

    Great place for some good ol' NOLA food. The atmosphere and food reminded me of my last trip to New Orleans. The food here was served hot with great service and was very delicious. Prices were fantastic and we were able to try more things on the menu than we planned 😋 All great things to try here: Cafe latte, beignets, gumbo, crab bisque, shrimp and grits, steak po boy, creamed spinach, poached eggs, breakfast potatoes and the giant biscuit with the strawberry rhubarb jelly and don't forget the amazing bloody mary!
