My favorite BBQ in Fort Wayne! Brisket is meaty and thick. Great sauces. Only downside is that if you pick outside dining, the nearby road is noisy. I'll be back again!

Lucille's is an outstanding place for BBQ in Fort Wayne. Probably the best BBQ in FW...in my opinion. This review is only for the smoked meatloaf. Though my wife had the pulled chicken wrap and said it was very good! I ordered the smoked meatloaf since I've never had that entree before. It sounded interesting and something that I could make on my smoker. The meatloaf was sliced into four semi-thin pieces versus a larger loaf piece. It appears that the pieces were seared after they were cut. I think this extra step dried out the meat a bit - especially in the thinner parts. It wasn't bad...but not what I would expect with meatloaf. And, yes, there was also delicious BBQ sauce to help moisten the meat right up!! Outside of the dryness...the meat had a good Smokey flavor. I think the hamburger was mixed with a good sausage to give it some extra flair. It also add spice oregano style spices to boost the flavor a bit as well. Overall...an innovative dish. Not my favorite since it was a bit dry. Definitely worth a try!

I was in Fort Wayne for work and as I searched for BBQ, I found Lucille's. I am a sauce-aholic and when I saw a sauce bar, Lucille's became must try. I also noticed Lucille's brewed their own sweet tea. And Lucille's put the SWEET in Sweet Tea, just like it should be. None of this Midwest very lightly sweetened barely unsweet sweet tea. Lucille's sweet tea made this Bama Boy jump for joy. One thing I didn't like when I saw Lucille's menu was $37 for a 2 meat combo. I was like no way...there has to be a work around. My work around was to order a pulled pork plate and then the Texas Two-Step taco. The Texas Two Step taco came with brisket and jalepeno sausage. It was a brilliant idea for a much cheaper cost than a meat combo plate. The pulled pork and brisket was fantastic but the jalepeno sausage really stood out to me. This might be the best sausage I've had. The pulled pork and brisket is elite and the sausage is in the best of all time category. For my sides, I picked the mac and cheese and beans. Both were phenomenal choices. The mac and cheese was creamy and made with possibly monterrey jack and smoked poblanos. The beans were spicy, tomatoey, thick, and had pieces of brisket in it. The waitress said they were famous and I know why now. There are several sauces. Here is a quick rundown - house (mild sweet tomato base), spicy (house but spicy), Texas (bold and seemed to have a cinnamon taste), mustard, and sweet and spicy (conglomeration and the hottest of all the sauces). My two favorites were the mustard and the sweet and spicy. The sweet and spicy had so much going on and I think Chipotle Tabasco was one of the ingredients. But it turned out being the one I couldn't get enough of. Lucille's is deserving of a 5-star. It is the closest to Texas BBQ I've found in the Midwest. It is not for everyone because it seems like everything is spicy here. It was all great but I loved the sweet tea and sausage the most.

Fantastic place! You can tell this is a locals place when you come in and there are no tables. When we were seated, we got amazing service from someone kind. The selection is pretty vast. I will say they were out of meats, but still had a ton to chose from. I got a bowl, which I don't know why more places don't do that. It was delicious and I especially enjoyed the corn. It was a perfect mixture of cheese and corn. I got it with brisket that was perfectly seasoned. Overall, we enjoyed this place and are sad we were just passing through.

Excellent BBQ place! Ordered a brisket taco and sausage taco with wings. A lot of meat in the taco!!! Brisket was good. Sausage had a good kick. Wings were good with a nice smoke and grilled flavors. Loved the BBQ sauce buffet out and very good flavors. Cherry chipotle was my favorite. Will stop again!

Finger licking, delicious bbq food...so good you want to slap yo mama. JK...respect yo mom. Good sized portions. This is a belly bomber! Lots of bbq sauces to choose from. Service was exceptional. Ambiance was laid back/welcoming. For anyone from the West Coast, this spot is not like that Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ chain. This is family owned and 100x better. MY FAVES: beef brisket, burnt ends, grilled chicken wings, cheddar jalapeño sausage pieces, and mashed potatoes. Brisket was smoked, well seasoned and tender. Burnt ends were smoked to perfection and crispy. Chicken wings had a beautiful grilled char and seasoned well. Cheddar jalapeño sausage pieces were so tender and flavorful. Mashed potatoes were garlic-y and well seasoned. Pulled pork, mac and cheese, brussel sprouts and corn bread were ok. PROS: bbq sauce bar (try them all!), generous portions, and can pay your bill via QR code on the receipt. CONS: N/A
