    I have eaten here several times and enjoyed both the food and the experience. It was a bit congested today, particularly as we were seated very close to where counter seats were located. The food I ordered required a substitute due to something not being available, which was a disappointment, but additional shrimp was offered and accepted as a substitute. The waitress was very competent and friendly. Valet service was timely and professional as previously experienced.

    This was our first visit to Lucille’s. Our waiter, Rick is amazing at servicing and hosting others. He shared the menu and directed us to things to try that didn’t disappoint. He treated us with so much grace and kindness. We enjoyed the time he took to get to know us and was so attentive to what our needs were while having dinner. When you visit you must ask for him to be your waiter. You will not regret it. We at the oxtail for the first time it was outstanding. Rick gave us the opportunity to try the bread pudding. Don’t leave without trying it. It was superb. The bread rolls were so good and the fried green tomatoes were excellent. We will visit again on our next visit to Houston. The atmosphere was quiet. The hostess was so sweet and welcoming. Thank you for a great experience.
