Lucile's Stateside Bistro Reviews

Great food, great service, good time to go - 2 pm. The salad tasted good but needed to be chopped finer.

Excellent service and great food, had the fried green tomatoes and country fried steak, it was all delicious!

Waited forever food was very disapointing! Priced ridiculous!!!

Pretty good, a little too much breading on the chicken fried steak. A bit pricey but definitely worth a try. Great service as well.

Lucille's never disappoints. Stellar food and service.

The food had no taste. I got the lobster roll, no taste at all. The chips were horrible as well, no taste. My husband got trout, again no taste. Very disappointed

Way to expensive for lunch...what happened to this place?????

Food...service...cleanliness. No disappointment here !

We had a delicious chicken fried steak! It was amazing! However, there were two areas that could be improved. The coke does not taste like coke, and service is horrible.

great food. plan ahead there can be a long wait. Staff is really friendly, and food is great

I've been going there since 1950, when it was Finley's Cafeteria. Same ceiling & floor but now "A Stateside Bistro." Whatever I order from the menu, we always start with a plate-4-two of Fried Green Tomatoes and a glass of one of 3 house wines. There's always plenty their freshly baked still-warm bread and a generous cup of butter. There are 22 flavors of martinis from the full service bar & you can choose your favorite live lobster from the tank. Just go! It's fantastic!

We went to Lucile's for Texas Chicken Fried Steak Day on October 36th and it was great. The Manager didn't know about it. Great food came out hot and service with a smile.

Shrimp and grits are beyond good. The Smokey Wood taste of the shrimp, bacon and cheese grits. Taste like Texas. Big Bold and Oh So Good.

Food was a little pricey but you get what you pay for fish was delicious and so what there lobster toped burger.we did start eating before I took the picture

The food and service was good. Busier than I expected. Ordered Eggs Benedict. Hollindaise was more lemony and spicier than expected, but good. Wife loved the waffles.

My Wife and I go here for a seafood lunch periodically. They do a good seafood lunch.

We were here for a graduation luncheon and enjoyed it very much. The pannini I had was well prepared and delicious! Service was excellent! Great place to get together with friends for a well prepared meal.

Was in for Sunday lunch and ordered a chicken fried steak, for the amount charged portions were small and only came with one side. Food quality was good, service was great and atmosphere was pleasent

Very polite good looking fit staff, wonderful food and atmosphere.

We normally don t have a problem when we dine at Lucilles but tonight was the worst!! I had to get up and go find someone to wait on us. Everyone just walked past us! Worst experience ever!

We came here because I randomly found it while looking for a place to eat nearby and it seemed like a nice place to be. I was with a party of 4 which included 2 children and only myself and one other person were going to eat that night. I ordered a hamburger which didn't have much flavor and it was obvious that the waiter lost interest when he saw that he wasn't going to get a big tip from our simple order because he continued to check on the tables around us and didn't return to our table till we had finished our meal. My whole party will not be returning

Nope. Came here for Sunday brunch because everywhere else had a 45 min wait today: should have known that no wait here wasn t a good sign! We were seated quickly but waited about 10 minutes before a server came to our table. (Once we had a server, she was attentive and the food came quickly: those were the two pro s here.) The food was terrible. Coffee was watery, beignets were wet on the inside, the breakfast pizza smelled like rotten milk, and the two-egg breakfast was nothing to write home about. (Points for the biscuits, though.) Waste of $50 for a disappointing meal. Won t be back.

Great place good food steaks equal to Ruth chris or bobs steak house bartenders are super make you feel like family

This place has the potential for greatness. Lobster specuals and pizzas alone would qualify. Wish I could give 5 stars but the table service is consistently SLOW. Not leisurely and relaxed. Just slow. Try it anyway- you will enjoy the food as long as you have plenty of time to wait.

Very good seafood place, look like Grandma's house at the beach.

I had a shrimp greek salad that cost me $16 with tax. It was maybe a $5 salad. The shrimp had a chemical-freezer burn taste combined and was rubbery when eating...ended up throwing all the shrimps out. The salad was nothing special, just toss some store bought lettuce, capers, croutons, tomatoes, and feta, and there you have it. I would have considered trying something different but I think this place is overpriced for its quality and taste.

Great breakfast and lunch restaurant. Eggs Benedict is great, grilled Ruben is excellent.

Awesome food. Great service. Best lobster bisque in Texas as far as I'm concerned.

Very good. We had a chicken fried steak and a salad with the salmon, and it was delicious. Excellent martini, great atmosphere. We will be back.

The lobster bisque was good just a word of caution..... Careful not to get some lobster shell.. The biggest issue was trying to get the attention of the wait staff.

Old school seafood place with a nice bar. Good but not fabulous, and pricey

Best service and best food in a quaint family friendly atmosphere! Highly recommend this place! Will definitely be returning in the future!

Customer service is the worst we have ever experienced by server and manager. Coffee was cold and food order was wrong. We had to refill our own coffee while waitress was on her cell phone. It took an unacceptable amount of time before she even greeted our table. No apologies were given for food mishap and when we brought all of this to manager's attention, nothing was done. Stay away!

Absolutely fantastic. I will return. The atmosphere is charming. The food is delicious, and the wait staff very polite and good at their jobs.

Great service, love the lobstER bites!! Service is great!!

Best dirty martinis and lobster bisque ever. The bartender's make you feel right at home

We walked in and were greeted by two nice young ladies. We were sat in the back of the dining room. The waiter comes over puts water on our table and says waters good ok and walks away. We sat there for over twenty minutes. He never returned to take our order. We werent dressed like the other patrons but we werent dressed like we were homeless either. Coming from a chef that has money if you are gonna treat customer's like this I will never step foot into this place again. Just cause I look like I dont have alot of money doesnt mean I dont. Please in the future treat the patrons better especially for an upper class place. It was the worst service ive had in a long time.

This place is amazing! The restaurant itself is very quaint, quiet, clean and cozy. The wait staff provided the best, most professional service I've had at a restaurant in awhile and the food was VERY GOOD! I can see why their chicken fries steak was voted best in Fort Worth, it was HUGE and tasted great.

The food was delicious, but the staff was very unprofessional. Marlene was our waitress. There was a miscommunication when I ordered my food and she brought out the dish. I didn t care and it was no big deal, I ve been a waitress and it happens. She then started screaming at the staff and the whole restaurant went quiet while she was cussing and yelling. There was no discount on the food and no apology for the behavior. I won t be back.

Great service, great food. Fried green tomatoes everytime

Atmosphere and food are both great. My Lucile s lobster roll was excellent with a little bit of Cajun sauce I ve ordered on the side.

The manager on duty and our server took great care of us.

There's a lot to unpack here. First we got there when only two other tables had been seated. Yet we sat at our table for about ten minutes without a server coming by. I had to tell the hostess no one had come by before we got any service. Once the server came by the service overall was fine. The food was terrible. We ordered some cinnamon rolls which are supposed to come out "hot and fresh". They were room temperature with barely any frosting that wasn't melted. Very disappointing. We also ordered the breakfast pizza which came out hot but didn't have any egg, which it is supposed to. Our hash browns were stale and the scrambled eggs were also room temperature with sausage that was as dry as saw dust. Coffee and cappuccino we're good. The beignets were pretty good but didn't come with enough powdered sugar. We won't be going back to Lucile's. There are simply too many fantastic breakfast and brunch places in Fort Worth to bother going someplace that was so subpar in almost every way. Its unfortunate as I had high hopes.

This was our first time to visit. We really enjoyed the food, and the atmosphere. We had the hash split for 2, and the amazing cheese grits. The menu included catch of the day, and many other great offerings. The staff were very pleasant, and the food was delicious. I have no doubt that we will return in the future.

I only made a to-go order for a pizza since their pizza was rated to be Fort Worth's best. The vibe was great, staffs were professional, and pizza was really good. I wish I could give it a 4.5 stars because the only thing I was not satisfied is the inconvenience while picking up a to-go order. You have to pick it up at the bar and they do not have a payment system there. The staff takes your card and runs it in the other section of the restaurant and if you want some extra seasonings, or condiments they don't have it available at the bar which takes another couple minutes.

For the lobster lovers out there, this place is the greatest! I had the classic lobster roll with homemade chips and they were a little piece of heaven!! The lobster bites were delicious. Ambience is charming. Menu is varied with something for everyone. Oh, the martini...my dirty martini was one of the best I've had. I will definitely be back for more!!

Outstanding chicken caesar, margarita & service here!

Went with my daughter for crab fest. Enjoyed the service and of course had to get the lobster bisque.
Great as always.

Nice restaurant with cozy atmosphere. Prices were a little high though.

Everything on the menu is worth a second try. It does not matter if you go for breakfast, lunch or dinner it's a winner.

I tried one of their new dishes off the appetizer list. It was a fondue and oh my gosh, it was so fabulous. My mother had the chicken-fried steak. It was so much that she took some home with her. I have never been disappointed with the food at Lucille's and eat there several times a year and have since they opened.

Lucille's never disappoints. Great food and wonderful staff!

Food was great and staff was friendly. HOWEVER the parking is severely lacking and cramped. There is NO lighting in the lot. My grandmother actually fell walking to the parking lot because she could not see where she was walking. It was quite frightening and seems like something the restaurant could easily add to increase patron safety.

They have a waiter there with a Conor McGregor beard. The guy looks like he'd lose a fight with a dead fish. Food is good, the decor is awesome though they need to remove the mirrors, awnings, add carpet and renovate the ceiling. Also, the place smells like an old house, like cough drops. Still love it.

Fun place with lively atmosphere even during covid. Sit in the bar area, where it's cozy. The dining rooms are lovely too. Can't comment on the menu since I've only ever had the pizza!

Had the Texas Burger and it was delicious. The sweet potato fries were yummy as well. But if ur looking for a quiet place this is not it...Everybody in here is very excited and happy. Lots of laughter and happy faces! Enjoy

Pay a premium, however the staff and food is above par.

I'm hoping this was an off day. I had the roasted chicken. It was gamey. So we sent it back and requested Alfredo. I have no idea where Alfredo went but he was not on that plate. My bf got a burger with bacon, they forgot the bacon. No big deal if our waitress actually cared but she was careless the whole time. My bf likes it here and I'm sure we'll come back, I'll just set the expectation really low and possibly not come out so disappointed.

OMG... I HAVE NOT HAD FOOD THAT GOOD SINCE I LEFT SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA. IT WAS SEAFOOD FEST. THE BEST COCKTAILS EVER. WHITE RUSSIANS. SPECIAL OF THE DAY WAS THE SCALLOPS.THEY WERE COOKED FOR GORDAN RAMSEY. I JUST ATE THEM IN HIS STEAD. LOBSTER ROLL WAS A TRIP TO MAINE. I GOTTA TELL YA. IF YOUR MOM LOVES SEAFOOD. ITS THE PLACE TO BE MOMS DAY.

Food was pretty good. Not much to the lobster roll. Frittata good. Salmon pretty good but over-salted. Service was awful. Waitress never brought hot water or coffee refills - had to ask. Did not pick up dropped fork - rife for someone to trip. Most disappointing: they do NOT HONOR veterans. They don't care.

Food is just so so and so is service and the stain on the chairs comes off on your clothing...funny thing is the waitress said "oh yeah that's happened several times before". So go figure on why they continue to let it happen and not just change out the chairs?????

Love the food and the feel of being home that I get when you walk through the door.

The chicken fried steak is the star of this show. During the fall, they have a lobster-rama that's pretty good also.

The chocolate cake was to die for! But the food was awesome as well!
