We arrived on a Saturday afternoon a little after 1600, just after a DJ had finished up. Immediately greeted, welcomed, and sat at a table. Waitress was very attentive. Other staff were too, ensuring we had been helped and checking to see if we needed anything. Started with the crab and shrimp seafood fries. Shrimp were good. Didn't really care for the finely flaked crab on the fries. Found it dry. Fries were pretty salty and limp. I ordered the shrimp and grits. Very good. Should have asked for hot sauce though. It improved the dish in my opinion when I had the leftovers. The triple threat was also ordered by table. Tons of good food! Excellent thick, crispy and flavorful catfish. Shrimp were very good too. Took the chicken home. It was pretty good warmed up. Okra were kind of dry. Appreciated the carafe of water and excellent service. Unfortunately didn't necessarily enjoy the noise level inside the restaurant. It's very loud and hard to hear each other at your table. This is with the restaurant mostly cleared out from the previous party. Would go again but would skip the seafood fries as an appetizer. Can't go wrong with the catfish and shrimp! read more

This place didn't get off to a good start with me. My first suggestion is that if you are going to use plain printer paper menus print enough so that you can just toss them after every use. A menu that is sticky from the previous person mess doesn't make a good first impression. This is the first time I have ever complained to a waitress or waiter about the food. I ordered the fried lobster. I didn't imagine it having a thick cornmeal batter on it but that wasn't the worst of it. It was so salty it was really inedible. I pealed the batter off of it but it was still to salty to eat. I did anyway. I don't throw away $42 worth of food. I was brought up too poor to do that. The okra was also cornmeal battered. It was slightly undercooked but at least it wasn't too salty. The top layer of the brussels sprouts tasted pretty good but after that they were also too salty to eat. I'll bet the cook/chef has never tasted his on food. My wife had a salad and crab cake. She left most of it. This is the first time she turned down a box when it was offered to her. The place was empty except for us. That should tell you something. I wasn't going to leave a tip but my wife insisted. She told me that I couldn't blame the waitress but I do. read more

My family was so excited tonight to try out Luchals. We're gluten free and having a full fish dinner was special! We were in the area last week and apparently even though 11pm was the advertised closing time, we were told they were closing at 8pm and it was currently 740. We were determined to finally try Luchals so we traveled from 40 minutes away tonight ready for a family meal. We started our ordering off strong with 4 appetizers, loaded fries, crab cakes, honey salmon and fried green tomatoes. My husband and I both ordered a cocktail. Him the lemon drink and I ordered the smoked old fashion. When my drink first came out I immediately noticed that the orange look dried out. Disappointed that the drink looked like a Motel 6 cocktail I took a sip. I sat it down and decided to ditch the orange because I didn't want to put it in my drink like I normally would. Once I pulled the orange off, white liquid dripped down the side of my glass. I started examining the orange to see what the heck would be white. It was mold. The orange was covered in white, green and pink mold. I'm not saying a tiny amount. But a lot of mold. I showed the server my glass, she apologized and remade the cocktail. This was supposed to be the same smoked old fashion as the first, but this one had a different cherry, a different glass and had a wood lid full of smoke, to make it a smoked old fashion, as it was supposed to be in the beginning. Totally grossed out, we reluctantly ate our fried green tomato app with our fingers and no small plates. Then our crab cake and fries was delivered. The fries did not arrive as ordered. We had requested as was on the menu but it was delivered with shrimp, which our kids hate. She fixed the fries and we asked for small plates. She brought us a stack of 5 plates and all five of them were dirty. Not water marks. But dried on food chunks. At that point we were done. Completely grossed out and done. I'm not sure what on earth is happening here, but it isn't good at all. Totally disgusting. read more

In the mood for seafood, first time here, had this place bookmarked in my Yelp. I ordered the catfish platter, hubby ordered the shrimp and grits, our son ordered the shrimp and catfish platter and, we ordered the kid's meal - chicken and waffles for our little one, all of the entrées were seasoned well and delicious! My favorite were the catfish and the shrimp that were cooked perfectly! One minor negative was the side white rice was not heated correctly. Excellent customer service. Looking forward to coming again next time we're in Colorado! read more

We read about this place in the paper. It was billed as Cajun Soul Food. The portions are huge and I will be back. The space used to be a bar before. They have taken it over but the laminate floor with industrial ceiling makes the acoustics rough. Loud music wasn't enough to overcome a screaming child. They have a great vibe with black themed art and TV shows running. Makes for a fantastic homey feel. The food was amazing. If anything my gripe is there was too much. I had the Bayou Fish and Grits. So flavorful. My wife got the Chicken and Waffles. The chicken was moist and well seasoned. My son got the Catfish and Shrimp. Crispy and delicious. My daughter got the Salmon Bites. They had a sweet sauce that was off putting after the Cajun wow that was everything else. The service was slow, however super friendly. To her credit, Crystal was running non stop managing the 24 tables, most were parties of 6+. I think a little more help will help it smooth out. I will definitely be returning. read more

Seriously cannot say enough good things about out this place. First and Foremost our server Octavia was exceptional, drinks never below 3/4 full, consistently checked on us and was just great. We've been here before and the food today was even better. It was a full flavor explosion in my mouth. I'm already trying to convince my family to come back tomorrow. read more

I stopped here while in the area after a hike in Colorado Springs. The area/ambiance appeared a bit questionable. But that didn't stop me, those are usually the best places to eat. We had high hopes for this one but overall it wasn't the best experience. I ordered a catfish platter with red beans and rice and okra. The okra was pretty hard and the red beans and rice didn't have much flavor to them. The catfish was good. You could tell it was fresh! I just wish the flavor on it had been a bit bolder. Like if it used the same breading as the fried green tomatoes. read more

Made a reservation which can't say was needed for a Wednesday night. Ample seating was available. They did have outdoor seating, but I didn't check it out. A live karaoke was set up and the lady who was running it had a beautiful voice! She was jamming throughout the night. Food was amazing with everyone enjoying their meals. From the fried catfish, fried chicken, collard greens, red beans and rice, shrimp and grits, Cajun pasta, fried green tomatoes or the bourbon glazed scallops - no complaints at the table. I order the martini flight which sounds great I still you realize it's four full size martinis. Y'all, there's no way. Be warned. Service was prompt and friendly. read more

Came here with the family after a day of hiking, walked in and was seated right away. The atmosphere was okay, music wasn't too loud and the tables are spaced apart so you don't feel crowded. Ordered a peach drop as my drink, very delicious. As an appetizer we ordered the fried green tomatoes on the happy hour menu, the seasoning on them was good but the tomatoes themselves were thin & tiny. I ordered the fried catfish platter with collard greens & rice and beans. The catfish was fresh & fried pretty nicely but no seasoning even though you can see the parsley on it lol. The greens were tough sitting in some kind of tomato tasting liquid, the rice and beans were decent but kinda dry. Overall I probably wouldn't come back seeing how I live in Denver and it an hour drive away! I can tell from where I was sitting that the cooks didn't look happy about being there but that's just my perception. read more

Seen this place on Tiktok while I was in Colorado and decided to give it a try. Eating here was one of the BEST decisions I ever made! The decor and atmosphere is amazing and even had modern R&B music playing. I had the Triple Threat and it was breathtaking. The mac and cheese was SO creamy, the catfish was perfectly seasoned, and the chicken was crispy and tender. My waitress (who was also the bartender) was so sweet and has an amazing personality. Absolutely loved this place and will definitely be coming back when I'm in town. read more

We had a bit of a mixed experience at Luchals this Easter Sunday; while the food was absolutely fantastic and enjoyed by everyone in the family, the service timing unfortunately didn't quite keep up. When we arrived, it didn't seem crowded and there were a good amount of open tables, but they appeared to be understaffed for the day. While the staff was professional, things moved very slowly. It took a long time to get our drink orders taken and even longer to get the drinks to the table. Most frustratingly, my son never received his drink at all, even after we asked for it a second time. On the other hand, the meal itself was really good. Just about everyone ordered the chicken and waffles, and we also had the fish. Every dish was a hit and we all truly enjoyed what we ate. Because the kitchen is clearly doing a great job, we will definitely be back to give it another try, hopefully on a day when the front-of-house service is a bit more in sync. read more

I wanted to like this place but it not only fell short, it grossed us out. The reviews are mostly inflated or written by people with zero taste or class The photos of food they share on their website and yelp are not from their kitchen. The pictures are staged and from a chef who doesn't work there. The salmon bites were just plane awful The fried green tomatoes were frozen along with literally everything else and fried in cheap oils. Gluten free means nothing if you're using cheap oils! The lemon wedge on my water cup looked used. Asked for more, was brought more of the same. Dehydrated lemon slices from days ago The collard greens were laughably bad. Texture and flavor. Awful! Service too, sadly was a joke Our server seemed to be disappointed the place was dead and even told us we were in for a treat since it was our first time... and absolutely the last time. We were never impressed. We immediately felt like this is a strip club and not a restaurant. I'm guessing it's open to provide a place to entertain late at night and sell drugs or ass because food isn't on even a long list of things they're good at. The only thing that tasted good out of 2 apps and a triple threat was the frozen fried cat fish. Even the frozen shrimp were nasty, and the fried chicken lacked seasoning and was very dry. read more

Luchals - One good Catfish & Grits with shrimp... one catfish extra crispy! - Seafood Near Me - Fountain, Colorado

The service & seafood were almost as bad, but: truly the servers, bar, etc and phone were all COMPLETELY AWFUL! I am 100% beach rasied/well traveled many, many beach locations in several countries and everywhere in the US - I love Maryland Blue Crab, my Step Dad's family, would catch then eat them in the shell on newspapers - one of the best, and expensive crabs there are, and where ever any decent let alone real lump or west coast crab crab meat, theirs was flavorless and we couldn't identify any. The blue crab fries...we literally thought they WERE blue crab fries...they are whatever crab/very cheap &/or little...the crab cakes were mostly batter/breading, and there was incredibly little crab meat, however imitation, frozen, cheap. The scallops - you pay approximately $20.00 for: 4 they are smaller, they were over cooked to rubber consistency & and covered in some burnt "Asian" inspired sticky sauce. We DID enjoy their "seafood" either blue crab - supposedly or crab "covered," - hah - macaroni...after removing their "faux" seafood, and REALLY enjoyed their Mac enough to return and buy it...but, when we tried, during their day time/brunch schedule, you can not EVEN BUY the full sized entrée, except with brunch...that and except for one very helpful lady, perhaps the Manager, everyone else was INCREDIBLY rude, & either like they couldn't be bothered or out right "put out." And, yes, two of us both were spoken to in a very unkind manner. We wouldn't EVER return (nor would we recommend to ANYONE) just on the lack of quality with high expense. ALL of that on top of practically being abused...for? Paying for the experience? P.S.: OH, this is NOT a restaurant that gives you sauces, maybe 1 small side, when we purchased all the seafood sauces, they're "Pink" sauce for instance: they charged like $0.60+ per small condiment container - which we could understand - a little, but, (we purchased at least 17+ sauces, after discovering they fill them ONLY the bottom ¼of the SMALL container. Another way to make a buck, we guess. read more

I occasionally stop in just for the fried green tomatoes. They're delicious! Today I added a catfish fillet. AMAZING!

Bad service for the price. They forgot one of my entrees after I drove all the way home so by the time I drove back the the restaurant and back home my food sat for 45min. Then I got home and my other order was screwed up. They tried making it better by offering me a discount next time I stopped by but why tf should I spend more money to fix your guys mess up. Spent $80 here absolutely not worth it and never going here again. read more

Second time that the family has visited this soul food and seafood restaurant between colorado springs and fountain. Think of the best seafood / soul food places around the Gulf of Mexico , Alabama or Georgia and you'll see that the food is better or just as good. I liked the sides such as fried green tomatoes, fried okra, collard greens, cooked Brussels sprouts, red beans and rice! I liked the collard greens a lot. The coatings on the large filets of fish are flavorful and remind me of the southeast fish houses on the side of the road and soulfood places. The blue crab mac and cheese is far better than anything that I've had before in a soul food or expensive restaurant like Gordon Biersch in Atlanta, Georgia. This chicken, shrimp and fish in triple threat were cooked perfectly. Large servings and you'll have leftovers to enjoy for lunch or possibly another dinner. Large dining area with great vibes with music and the art on the walls. The environment is family friendly and great for large parties. The serve , Renee, was very friendly and knowledgeable of the menu. I've read that the restaurant is family run, so support local and support family run businesses and you will enjoy the visit to Luchals. read more

The three Cajun Shrimp Tacos have great flavors. Flamingo sauce is good. They, however, were not served hot (temp wise). Service was very slooow. Server wasn't on his game. The ambiance gives a harsh and cold feeling and is not a relaxing place to dine. Their music is way too loud and we had to yell to hear one another. read more

I really enjoyed the food the first time I visited but it has progressively gotten worst each time after. The serving/bartending staff are not focused on what they are actually there to do. They want to sing karaoke and dance rather than serve food in a reasonable time. Food comes to the table cool instead of hot. I ordered a drink for which I never got. The wait time for food is ridiculously long and overall disappointing. The music is wayyyy too loud to actually be enjoyed and does not allow for any sort of communication at the table among guests. This place has all the potential to be something special but needs some serious management and professional oversight. read more

This is the first time I paid $35 that included a tip and I was so disappointed. The portion was really small and the fries were cold. I got there right on time according to when I was told by toast app it would be ready. I'm so sad to get this kind of service for the first time ever read more
