Not every business can smoothly transition to a new location, but Lucille’s has managed nicely. The décor has the same down-home roadhouse style, and the dining experience is just as cheerful. Most importantly, the ribs, brisket, chicken, and other goodies are coming out of the same imposing smoker with the same tangy sauces. Lucille’s has had new competition this year, but our readers still rank them right at the top.
