Kristen ZieglerOctober 7, 2012Everything we tried was so delicious! The service was fast & friendly, and the atmosphere was loungy & fun. Happy to hear of a new museum district bistro. Fantastic place!
- RayRico®™June 4, 2014Delicious food and great service! Had the fried oysters and Lucille's famous buns to start, follower by the oxtails which were amazingly tender and flavorful. Bread pudding was perfect! Great place!!
Christina BrownOctober 17, 2019Really nice intimate location with some of the best braised oxtails around. A southern cuisine with a twist tucked away in museum district

Khristian MireApril 7, 2017Yardbird with greens and mashed potatoes!!!! It was a great meal and more than enough to share with someone.
LiccyMay 9, 2021Food was great! Fried green tomatoes, oxtail and fish fry are worth a try! Grab a drink from CJ, he is the best!
Doug LOctober 6, 2012Creative menu, excellent food, nice ambience. management and staff. Nice to find a great, non-chain Houston restaurant that's not the size of a sports field.

- Khristian MireApril 7, 2017I love mac and cheese. And this mac and cheese introduced me to a whole new tastebuds of cheeses.
Aaron KendrickMay 30, 2021The hot chicken sandwich was absolutely delicious! Come for the brunch, stay for the live jazz!
Marion DOctober 17, 2015The soup du jour and Lucille's chili biscuits make a good light lunch if you're not too hungry...or just want room for dessert!- Aerie EllisJanuary 15, 2024Great for brunch! Loved the shrimp and grits as well as the spicy Bloody Mary 😋
Karina ValdovinosSeptember 14, 2013Delish seared scallops!!!! I've never been a fan of mac n' cheese but this place gave it an interesting twist.
Tricia LeeApril 1, 2013The oxtail skillet has literally 2 bites of oxtail in it. Kitchen tries to fool you by overloading you with fingerling potatoes. Opt for something else!
Shioma AdrilynAugust 20, 2016Nice atmosphere/Wasn't impressed with the food/didn't enjoy the rice pudding or the raspberry sauce that was poured all over
Melissa RaySeptember 1, 2021Somewhat good depending on what you get but VERY overpriced. Catfish and grits tasted like they came straight from the breakfast aisle, the Quaker oaks one minute grits smh. Bread pudding was dry too
Ana Albarracín RodriguezOctober 16, 2012Everything from the brunch is excellent! Delicious fried green tomatoes!
candycaneJuly 17, 2015Not impressed. The fried chicken breeding was soft and soggy. The greens weren't seasoned very well. And the truffle Mac and cheese were very over powered. I was looking for "home cooking". Not here.- Houston ChronicleAugust 3, 2014Inside track: Get an order of Lucille's Famous Hot Rolls to go. Read more
Michael KazarnowiczNovember 10, 2012No brunch on Saturdays although it's listed on the website. Menu listed several items that weren't available. Only French press coffee, no espresso.
Chad BrawleyJanuary 28, 2013This was THE WORST dining experience I've ever had. I will never eat here again. Incompetent wait staff, disrespectful management and the food is just "ok.." TERRIBLE customer service & etc. NOT GOOD!
