    After reading reviews we decided to try, hoping for good ole’ Southern Comfort Food- And that DID NOT HAPPEN! I do not recommend eating here. The food was bland and something you can easily cook at home. I had the lobster pasta, and I had a stomachache for 24 hours until I got the food to pass. Our waitress was not kind at all. She was always late on things we requested and she never lit our candle at our table. My guest chicken was mediocre, nothing special about it. I was definitely disappointed. They don’t offer or sell sweet tea, only unsweet. My salad tasted old and the dressing was completely watered down, I had Ranch Dressing. For the prices they charge, I was DISAPPOINTED IN EVERY WAY. I gave two stars due to the loud talking gentleman who made our dinner here a bit more entertaining. This is also NOT A CULTURAL PLACE. Ourselves and another family were the only African-Americans there. I honestly think some restaurants in Fort Worth are based upon how long they have been there and tradition. I won’t be going back, but this is my experience. It may just be the place for you!

    Me an my wife went there for her birthday. The staff was completely friendly and they gave us a nice cozy area to sit. My wife is a world class seafood lover so I waited for her to order the new Maine lobster and scallops plate. I settled for the chicken sandwich with homemade potato chips. When she took the first bite of her seafood, she was in heaven. My chicken sandwich was very good too. Our server was on the top of her game with everything and I decided to give her a fifty percent tip. I highly recommend this restaurant and yes this will go into my places that you will have to visit.

    The food was great and the cocktail was strong, a bit too strong for me, lol. My husband really enjoyed his red fish and my daughter loved the salmon. Everything was beautifully plated, delicious and prepared so well. I had the chicken Cesar. The service was a bit slow but pretty decent for a busy day a short staff. We will definitely visit again. The only reason why I'm not giving 5 stars is bc there was lipstick on my husband's cappuccino cup, eek. We plan to go again for the breakfast they boast about. Hopefully no lipstick this time.

    Lindsey was amazing. We had crab stuffed mushrooms and fried green tomatoes for starters. Perfection! Daughter had a burger, hubby had lobster scallop Alfredo, and I had the ribeye. Everything turned out WONDERFUL! A cappuccino and chocolate cake with ice cream for dessert to top it all off.

    Stopped in for lunch, very good service and food….. neat little old building with a lot of history to it and love the old style look inside. We started off with the goat cheese and crackers, it was excellent, wife had Salmon Salad and I had the Lobster & Scallop fettuccine….. we both loved it. Didn’t have room for dessert…. My only complaint is they don’t have SWEET TEA….. if you serve southern food you HAVE sweet tea ;)

    Great restaurant in Ft Worth. My wife had a Lady Martini and I had an Old Fashion with Makers Mark and the black cherries. Excellent Black Diamond shrimp and Blackened Redfish. Desert was a key lime pie and peach cobbler. The key lime pie is a keeper. The cobbler is average. We will be back.

    Very good food, wonderful staff and a great atmosphere! Our brunch group sometimes runs into issues because we are a larger group... Lucile's knocked it out of the park for us! Highly recommend for any occasion or casual dining! Thank you for a wonderful time from The Champagne Gang!!

    We loved Lucille's! The only skippable item we had was the mushrooms we started with. They were ok but the was it However, the rest of the meal was amazing! I had the Angry Lobster and the wife the Lobster Roll. The staff were very friendly and I don't think our waitress could have been much better. Highly recommend!

    We came here after attending the Kimball Concert Series and we were "dressed to kill" for Kimball, and thought we might be a tad over-dressed for Lucille's dining table, so we sat at the Bar instead. We blended in just fine and had a blast sitting there. The energy, service, and people watching was just as enjoyable as the fabulous food. We chose the Lobster Bisque Soup, the Maryland Crab Cakes, Stuffed Crab Mushrooms, and a Lobster Roll, followed by a fantastic Martini. It was crowded, but our server was on top of it, and our food and drinks were served up nice and timely. It was fun, and our Crab Cakes were to die for. Highly recommend, and the Bar is our first choice. Energy and service are usually better there! Cheers

    What a cute place to find for a quick trip to Ft Worth! Delicious rolls and my blackened redfish was perfectly seasoned. Cris said the lobster roll was good too. Wish we had this place by us!

    Service was quick on saturday night, parking on all sides of the building. Most people were dressed business casual, but there was no dress code. The $12 martinis come with a free refill (chilled on ice next to the drink), we preferred The Island over Purple Haze. Fried Green Tomatoes and Crab Stuffed Mushrooms were both good. The Lobster Bisque paired well with the Lobster Roll (there was a ton of lobster, barely any lettuce). The Juicy Luicy burger was our favorite, it had a ton of flavor. We got espresso martinis (also doubles) and peach cobbler for dessert. We were in and out in less than an hour and the service was great.

    I was hoping for a better experience! It took awhile to get our drinks and order in.We were surprised to see only a tablespoon of seafood in the Gumbo! And I was charged 1.50 extra for the seasoned veggies on the Salmon meal,when all the other fish choices add the veggies!

    A coworker highly recommended Lucile's, and she was right. It has a very nice dining room and an excellent staff. The waiter knew the menu well and made some excellent recommendations. I started with the lobster bisque, then had the lobster and scallops Alfredo, both very good. I couldn't resist the excellent key lime pie for dessert!

    I had the chicken fried steak and sweet potato with a caesar salad. The steak and sweet potato was five star but the salad was three star. Plus the waiter took my salt away which confused me until he brought it back full (maybe he should have told me he was doing that). Despite all that I'd definitely eat here again.

    This was our first time visiting. The food was a little overpriced, but overall, it was good. Our waitress was amazing, and she constantly checked on us. We got the foods listed in the photo below and a hamburger. The hamburger was not as great, but everything else was delicious. The Alfredo had lots of lobster and scallops. The lobster bites were delicious, so no photo they were devoured 😊 before i remembered to take photos! We will visit again!

    Yeeehaw my last meal in Texas and we went to Lucile’s! Normally, I wouldn’t recommend fish hundreds of miles away from the shore but theirs wasn’t bad! I had the chicken fried steak which was awesome and some of our other counterparts had the lobster which they enjoyed. The salmon was dry and the drinks were a tad overpriced but we enjoyed making “fast cabs” out of them. Thanks to our lovely waitresses for a good experience!

    OMG!! This restaurant has HANDS DOWN the BEST Lobster Bisque I have EVER HAD! Until this dinner Texas de Brazil held the title, and that was for MANY YEARS. Until tonight. Lucille's Lobster Bisque induces a mind numbing, eye fluttering palate orgasm. Not to offend the easily offended but describing it any other way would be a disservice. SERIOUSLY. And their Lobster Bites match in flavor, but are succulent and tender beyond description. This place is our new GO TO. I had their award winning Chicken Fried Steak and my wife had their Lobster Cobb Salad with blueberry pomegranate dressing. Both meals were home runs without breaking the bank. The service and accommodations are warm and inviting, like going home to eat with family. Not dining here would be a sin as the experience has been a blessing! Bon Appetite!

    Lucile's has always been one of my go to restaurants in Fort Worth. The reason is because I know what I'm getting when I dine there. The service is good 👍 as well as the food. My sister and I went there for lunch/dinner recently. An appetizer of Fried Green Tomatoes was ordered and as always they were good. For the main entree, I ordered the angel hair pasta with grilled shrimp. My sister ordered the same thing but requested that some veggies be thrown in with the shrimp. No complaints pertaining to the food, it was ALL Delicious. 👏👏👏👏

    A quaint little cafe that they call a bistro. Awesome service, and grest food always brings you back. Ample seating space, but a loud atmosphere from everyone talking. Just not a quiet place to have a peaceful lunch to reset before going back to work. Fried Green Tomatoes are a great appetizer, Spicy Chicken Sandwich, and Burgers are great. But the Chicken Fried Steak is out of this world! Noce thick cut sirloin, full of flaver, and so tender. But the food is worth the trip. Best Chicken Fried Steak I've had in the Fort Worth Area.

    This was an interesting evening out. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming but I was talking back when the receptionist said " Here we go, you guys are tucked away right here in the back. Pasta had good flavor but need a dash of salt? The lobster chunk were good and meaty but wish there were more scallops would be better. Aaron ordered steak but we were unimpressed....looked like a steak served at Golden Corral but for $33 dollars. Definitely, let down.

    Great little place. They have a brunch on Saturdays and Sundays. The lobster Benedict was amazing. Much more lobster than I expected. Everyone in our part thought the food was wonderful.

  • 2/5 Gunny N. 11 months ago on Google
    Started out ok. The hostess should of greeted me instead just staring. The waitress come quick for drink orders. Green fried tomatoes are the smallest and worst I've ever had. Green fried tomatoes are made from big beefy tomatoes not small tomatoes. Definitely over priced. Chicken fried steak was good not the best I've had but good. A little salty. Sweet potato fries are small and hollow. Definitely over priced. The waitress never came around to check on us. Needed drinks refill but had to wait until she ask if ready for the check. When dropping off the check to sign she didn't leave a pen. Tried a few times to get the waitress attention with on luck. A more alert waitress help with a pen. The whole meal OVER PRICED! I doubt I'll ever go back!

    Got there a bit later in the night, about an hour before close. Food, service and atmosphere was great. Had the lobster roll and crab cakes, the girlfriend had the fried shrimp. Everything was delicious. Would go again.

  • 5/5 Debra P. 2 years ago on Google
    In town for family, we passed this a couple of times in our outings and decided to try it out. There was no wait and we were seated immediately, our server came straight over and was very attentive and helpful. I had the special which was cioppino, a Cali favorite and I was pleased. Others in our party had ribeye and wood fired pizza which was enjoyed as well. We will definitely have to stop in again when we're in town. And hopefully you will have Justin serving

    What can I say about Lucille‘s it’s a Camp Bowie icon. The seafood is divine and very fresh I had the angry lobster I had to keep reminding myself to slow down and savor it because it was so good. The chicken fried steak I can honestly say is the best I’ve had in the metroplex! It’s a great place for date night!

  • 5/5 Connie W. 1 year ago on Google
    The atmosphere was fun & busy, though comfortable & the staff was very attentive. The food was excellent! They were out of crab cakes, so disappointed we couldn’t try them. Instead we tried the fried green tomatoes. Great choice! The sauce on the lobster roll was great & the rice with the salmon was excellent. Didn’t get a picture of the lobster bisque or the dinner salad, but both were just as amazing. A few of us enjoyed a martini with our appetizer. They iced down the rest they made, so one was plenty for a light drinker. Overall, will come back & try other options!

  • 5/5 Logan B. 2 years ago on Google

    Wonderful place for lunch with friends! Great staff, amazing old fashioned atmosphere. Very relaxing! The Maryland Crab Cakes are fantastic! Best Lobster Bisque in Fort Worth.
