The food is delicious! Was saving myself for dessert so didn't ruin the planned belly space by having an appetizer each but we shared a cup of the tomato Bleu cheese soup - hit the mark, spot on. Really good options on the menu made it difficult to choose but we had the 3 cheese macaroni with grilled chicken, pork chops, and creamy mushroom chicken. All 3 were tasty and scrumptious! The dessert menu i could tell you what else was on there but the bread pudding - oh my. Very good indeed. Would definitely have that again - tasted like a sticky toffee pudding when got the sauce & sponge together. Very moorish .... eeek. The service was great, ambience welcoming, and would highly recommend for great quality food at a fair price. And the drinks are delightful - well made and nice cocktails to choose from so from drafts to liquors to soda to coffee, everyone is covered.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ My husband and I had an absolutely amazing dining experience at Lucille’s in Winter Haven. From the moment we walked in, we loved the vibe of the restaurant—the colors, the decor, and the overall atmosphere were so inviting. Our waitress, Kendall, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and she made excellent menu suggestions. We both ordered the turkey dinner, and it was nothing short of amazing. The turkey was perfectly juicy, the stuffing was savory, the gravy was truly to die for, and even the green beans were seasoned to perfection. Every bite was delicious. We found Lucille’s while just passing through, but we live in Clermont and have already decided it’s worth the drive to come back. Highly recommend this place for great food and outstanding service! Can you open a location in Clermont??

First visit tonight and it was a great one! We had Kaley as.our server and she was spot-on. We had soups as an appetizer and they were both excellent. The stuffed pepper soup especially. My wife had the club sandwich as she had been here before and wanted that again. I had the NY strip with mini bakes and grilled veggies. All very good. The menu is pretty varied so I would think people could find most anything to have and it would be good.

I couldn’t say more amazing things about this place. The staff is #1 best service best management all around. The food is also prepared with the utmost quality and attention to detail to ensure every order comes out just as desired. The drinks are hand-crafted and curated with the highest quality and freshest ingredients. Definitely try the bread pudding, smoked pb & j old fashioned, and baked Mac and cheese with grilled shrimp on top.

We came for Valentine’s Day dinner. It was absolutely wonderful. Beth accommodated us by making a reservation for me as my husband is disabled. We both had a steak meal. And red velvet cake to share the service and the food couldn’t have been better! So, thank you all for your customer service. You’ve got this down to a science! See you soon

We met at Lucille’s on Friday night for our Friendsmas Dinner, which our first time at the restaurant, but it won’t be the last! Such a pleasurable experience! The staff, service, atmosphere and food were outstanding! We really enjoyed our time there! It was refreshing to meet the owners, Paul & Beth as well, which were so hands on, which is very rare these days! I highly recommend this place!
