My girlfriend and I almost had a disastrous and failed lunch, but we were rescued by the always reliable Lucile's. We first attempted lunch at Rebel Bread's café, but they were out of most sandwiches due to a missed delivery. Leven Supply was our second stop, but they had been seized by the State due to unpaid taxes! Fortunately Lucile's is right across Alameda Avenue from Leven and we found them humming along at their usual pace. We were greeted by Brad, a particularly friendly, personable, and efficient server and soon seated in the comfortable dining room which features just the right number of New Orleans-themed tchotchkes. My girlfriend ordered Eggs Sardou which features creamed spinach, Gulf shrimp, poached eggs, and Hollandaise. She chose the jalapeño cheese grits. I had Eggs Pontchartrain with pan-fried mountain trout, poached eggs, and Béarnaise plus the plain cheese grits. My girlfriend had never been to Lucile's. She was thrilled with her dish. The spinach was particularly creamy and savory. Absolutely delicious. My meal was also excellent. Every item was perfectly prepared. I haven't even mentioned the buttermilk biscuits which are each a meal in themselves and come out at the peak of perfection. Lucile's is one of my favorites. Anyone can find a delicious choice there. read more

Lucille's has quickly become one of our go-to spots for a cozy, Creole-inspired brunch. It's a small chain with multiple locations, and this particular one definitely leans into that charm. That said, it's also pretty cramped, and the wait times can be long (sometimes even longer than quoted). One thing we do appreciate is how they've made the waiting experience more comfortable. There's a somewhat hidden upstairs waiting area that's especially nice during those unpredictable winter days, and you can even grab a drink in a tiny room tucked away on the other side of the dining area. It's a thoughtful touch that helps pass the time. The staff are consistently friendly and create a warm and inclusive atmosphere. As for the food - there's a lot to love. The Eggs Sourdou, Pain Perdu, and Bennifer standout. The jalapeño grits are another highlight. On the flip side, the Cajun breakfast with red beans and rice was a bit much- it became overwhelming after a few bites, so I probably wouldn't go that route again. Overall, the food is impressively comparable to what you'd find in New Orleans, which is such a treat to have close to home. With more Creole spots popping up around town, we're excited to explore and compare- but Lucille's has definitely set a high bar. You're in for quite an experience if you order the Sazerac- it's more impressive than any I've had in New Orleans. read more

Lucile's Creole Cafe - The Bennifer - superb, could use less ham - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Haven't been to Lucile's in a while! Their beignets are always fantastic! It took me a while to figure out my Lucille's order before I started liking this spot, but now I stick to it! I get the Eggs Eisenhower with potatoes and no additional meat. I also get a beignet every time and have been known to occasionally sample the hot chocolate. A couple of things to know: you can get a singular beignet instead of a whole order. You can mix your grits and potatoes (half half) for the side. You can also get jalapeño cheddar added to your grits for some extra flavor. I believe there's an additional charge for this upgraded side. I have frequented this location the most as it's more central, but I enjoy the Evans location a tiny bit more. Service was good and we waited around 15-20 minutes for a table for two on a Sunday. We sat outside and it was great weather with the sun shining, the fire pit on, and a nice chill. read more

Came here with a party of 3 on Sunday around 11:30am and it was packed!! There were large parties waiting outside so I was weary there would be a long wait. We opted for sitting at the bar so we didn't actually have to wait too long, maybe 10 minutes max? Others with larger parties had to wait 25+ minutes though. I ordered the Red Beans and Rice which came topped with andouille sausage and pulled pork. It came with their Buttermilk Biscuits, and because I like savory biscuits I ordered a side of Gravy to go with it. At the end of the meal I had Beignets for dessert. This was a LOT of food for one person, but it was SOOOO good!! The Buttermilk Biscuit came out first and it was a huge, literally bigger than my fist. They have homemade jams to go with the Biscuits and even ketchup in-house that they offer at the tables. The Red Beans and Rice was probably the best that I've ever had outside of NOLA! The portion for this (and all dishes ordered) was pretty big as well but I was determined to finish it all before catching a ride to the airport. The Beignets were served with a generous blizzard of powdered sugar and came out freshly fried. All in all wonderful experience eating here, they definitely serve southern comfort at Lucille's. read more

Sooooo good! Being from the south I came ready to judge lol I was pleased with the dishes and the price. Our server had a section by herself and still managed to give us the best service! Food came out super fast as well. Everyone was so nice. I tried a few things and enjoyed them all. 1) pancake: was buttery and sweet. Their house syrup was the perfect pairing! 2) French toast: omg drool worthy. And the sausage was the best part. They said it was spicy but it was more so just seasoned to me. 3) beignets they were tasty and thick. Not as crispy on the edges as I'd like but they were good. 4) baileys Irish coffee. Straight liquor lol 5 shrimp po boy 6) buttermilk biscuit: had to be cooked in a cast iron with real butter because it's crispy at the top and so soft and fluffy at the middle and bottom. Add honey and it's amazing! The music was lively, they played New Orleans band music read more

The outdoor seating provides the perfect opportunity to get some sunshine while enjoying a weekend brunch. The chicory coffee tastes the exact same as regular coffee, but pairs nicely with the beignets. Portions were large and provided nice variety to the usually flavors you expect to find in Denver. read more

It's been over 4 years since I visited Lucille's near my home. During my morning walk, I saw their fire pit operating and went inside. Their menu has several New Orleans favorites and typical Creole dishes. I started with a Chicory coffee brewed strong. I wanted a healthier breakfast, so I got Lucy's Oatmeal. It was a large bowl with probably 3 servings of oatmeal with a sliced banana, & apple + brown sugar. I added a link of hot Louisiana sausage and a biscuit. The biscuit was very large. They had wrapped butter pats on the table with a jar of orange marmalade. Jersey was my server, but several other servers provided coffee refills and brought out my order. Nice relaxing environment. When I got the bill, I saw an odd "Send charge" of $ 0.25; I asked the servers, but got incomplete answers. A manager came over and said it was increasing expenses. The amount was only 1.25% of the food amount so it's not a card surcharge. Usually restaurants will add a service charge or wage fee, not a vague poorly worded add-on. She volunteered to remove the charge and give me a new bill. I tipped 20% or $4. read more

Lucile's Creole Cafe - Salmon Eggs - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Denver, Colorado

If you're looking for a yummy, non-so-basic breakfast, you've come to the right place. I ordered the creole omelet, and a friend of mine ordered the blueberry pancakes special (which is the closest you'll get to a traditional breakfast). My favorite part of the meal was the fresh squeezed orange juice - pulpy, bright and delicious. Service was quick and friendly, I loved the indoor decor and the large bay windows - would be a perfect study spot with lots of light and a relaxing atmosphere. I sat on the patio which I recommend for a nice day. Overall, I was very impressed! I will definitely be back. read more

The beignets are the thing. They are delicious and filling. Not too greasy or too sweet. My only quibble is the amount of powdered sugar they use. Makes for a terrific presentation, but sure is messy to eat. Shakes your off a bit or be prepared to look like you were in a snowball fight. The other thing they have going is a delicious Benedict. I had the traditional and my friend tried the New Orleans style. Neither of us had see it before with eggplant in place of the muffin and a Creole style marinara in place of the hollandaise. Both were really good. You get to choose your side, but we both went for grits with jalapeno cheese. Yum! Just the right consistency and portion. We sat inside, but really enjoyed the outdoor fire pit while we waited for our Lyft. Great staff too. The host asked us if we parked in front. It was street cleaning day and he wanted to be sure we didn't get a ticket. Recommend. read more

Came here for brunch last Sunday and let me just say, it's been a min since I've found a stellar restaurant! Service top notch!

It was my first time trying creole food and it did not disappoint! I had the eggs jennifer and of corse the beignet. They tasted really good and the potatoes, they were out of this world! Everything is homemade, even the ketchup! read more

It's Mardi Gras season so I've definitely been craving some Cajun food. The beignets always hit the spot and this time I got the creole omelette which was the first for me. It was so dang delicious. Our server was super friendly and we were able to talk about our connections in Alabama, which was fun. I went to the location on Logan and that was my first time at that location. I really liked the outside seating with the fire pit. Parking was tough, but it is Denver. read more

I called the location on Ogden, asked about reservations - the girl laughed and hung up. Ok b*tch, we'll go to a different location. Called Logan, at least she said it's first come but didn't offer to put us on any list which is mentioned on the website. Upon arrival we checked in with the hostess, she said 20 minutes. We headed to the bar and got a couple drinks. We stood outside the door enjoying our well made bloody Mary's and I see the people who came in after us get called for seating. We're both a party of 2. We check with the hostess and she sees that she crossed us off her hand written list. She says she doesn't know what happened but she can seat us right now. Glad I was paying attention... Our server was great (minus the forgotten items), the food was fantastic. Had the service matched the food I would've given 5 stars all around. To both of the hostesses who earned this place a 3 star rating: the service industry is NOT for you. The job is not a difficult one and neither of you did the bare minimum of the job you are paid for. read more

Stopped in to Lucile's yesterday for lunch with some of my favorite coworkers. It was my first time and it was great. The restaurant was pretty full so that was a good sign! And it was very warm and welcoming. The staff here were all friendly and quick to assist you. We all ordered some caffeine to get us started (I myself got a latte which ended up not being my favorite it had not much flavor). We each ordered the French toast which came with sausage, egg and fruit. It was all so so good..The syrup for it was super yummy. Loved that everything there including the condiments, were homemade! I'll definitely recommend this little gem to people who want a good brunch! read more

Came here on a Sunday morning, and as expected, it was busy. Here's a tip: if you're in a small group and don't mind sitting at the bar, ask to sit at the bar. We had no wait time doing that, and it would've been a 20-30 minute wait otherwise. Our waitress was quick and friendly. We got our drinks out to us fairly quickly. I got their famous Bloody Mary, and as a Bloody Mary lover I was not disappointed. They have one of the most unique garnishes I have ever seen! We also started with some beignets, and I gotta say I think they're better than the ones from Cafe du Monde in New Orleans (I know, I know, I'm just telling it as it is). We also had buttermilk biscuits as a side, and wow those things are huge and amazing. I could only eat a couple bites before I had to stop to save room for the main dish. I got the Eggs Sardou, which overall were pretty good. The potatoes and creamed spinach were not my favorite, but it otherwise was tasty overall. We were so happy with our food here. The portions were so big that we basically had a whole other meal each to take home. Glad we got to try this place out! read more

Omg, what a yummy place. Come and get a taste of New Orleans! I really liked the shrimp and grits, they were delicious. My wife loved her pesto Gouda Benedict; it's a special limited time entree & I tried/ loved it also. Everyone else with really liked their entrees, the beignets were also very good. They have a blueberry purée on the tabletop that goes well with them. The place itself is nice, has a New Orleans vibe- imagine that. The service was great our server took good care of us. Ultimately, I plan on coming back the place was fantastic. Recommended and happy eating! read more

We were able to walk in and get seated right away on the patio for a late breakfast on a Friday morning. The fresh squeezed orange juice was fantastic. The biscuits and assortment of jams were delicious, too. I ordered the creole omelet with jalapeño grits and both were delicious but upon seeing the potatoes my friends ordered I was a little envious of them. We had high hopes for the beignets but they were definitely thicker and denser than what I would have expected. Overall a really nice meal. read more

I passed this place several times and always wanted to try. Finally came on a weekday morning with friends for brunch. Overall happy with the decision especially given that there are not that many good Cajun cafés around in Denver. Parking: there's no parking lot, so be ready to do the street parking around the neighborhood Wait: we waited for about half an hour during peak weekend brunch hours. We put our names down and went to the coffee bar within the restaurant to get some bloody Mary's and cajun orange juice with rum My favorite part about this place is definitely the food. I loved all the jams to pair with the biscuit. For my main entrée, I got a blackened salmon. This game was extremely flavorful, and the inside was tender. The fish was fresh, and there was no fishy smell or taste at all. I had plain gravy on the side which I also enjoyed a lot. Also want to call out that displays have has a big menu Cons: service was friendly, but a little slow. In addition, the building itself was old, which certainly brings a charm but there is a strong smell in the carpet - maybe also because I went there on a rainy day. read more

Sorry but coming from the south and having been to New Orleans the food here is good but not the best I have I had. I am picky about the soul food I grew up with. I got the cajun salmon breakfast with grits and potatoes. Overall, pretty good but not the best southern food I have had but I am picky. A cute place to visit and the service was very friendly. I will say that the biscuits and homemade jams were amazing. Even though I am probably saying more negative, overall the food was good and it is a place I would come back to. read more

The food is amazing. I've never had creole or Cajun style breakfast and this was my first time. It was great. Everything was good. The beignets are amazing and so was the gumbo. The biscuit is insanely big but still delicious. The ambiance is quaint and eclectic. The service was ok, but our server might have just had an off morning since she had another big group to tend to. read more

Food is always great, people are always friendly, gluten free and dairy free options!

If you're in the mood for a heavier breakfast, this is a good place to come by. Servers were flexible w/ our large group and were able to put a few large tables together. Food is solid/tasty, but definitely on the heavier side. If you're into bloody marys, our group said they were tasty and hit the spot. Food selection is southern/Creole/cajun style as the name implies. House potatoes are good and seemed to be better than the cheesy grits. Po boy sandwiches were tasty. Located in a small neighborhood so city/street parking only. read more

Wow. I went to this place 20 years ago before today, and kind of am mad at myself for not returning before today. A couple extra miles shouldn't keep me from this place. Won't again. Wife and I had a GREAT experience. First, as always, is service. Isabella gave us spotless service. She provided the perfect balance of being there when we needed something, but leaving us alone to eat and talk. Mind reader. Anyway, wife got the Eggs Pontchartrain. I had a bite. Delicious. I had the creole omelet, and wasn't shy at loading it up with the creole seasoning on the table nor the hot sauce, also already on the table. I was questioned about putting cheese on everything, I said yes, I suggest you do the same, and go with the jalapeno. Their iced tea was too sweet for me, but you...do you. I just caved and got an IPA, and wife got the prosecco, which came in a classy bottle and classy glass. Isabella was nice enough not to charge me for my two sips of the sweet iced tea. I admittedly am not a biscuit person. But, if I could imagine what a great biscuit tasted like, it would be this one. Some kind of jam and butter already on the table. I found it odd that they weren't jamming out New Orleans music, but maybe they just realize that their food is so good that they don't need it. I definitely recommend, and see you there (and won't wait 20 years this time). read more

I feel like I can see what kind of atmosphere they are aiming for but they missed the mark. Service was sub-par, I've had better at Chick-fil-A.

Lucile's Creole Cafe - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Denver, Colorado

I've heard amazing things about Lucile's. Being from Louisiana, I needed to stop in after being told so many times to go in. This review is only off of one experience and will be needing to go back to give another review for other items. I went in on Sunday during brunch peak hours alone. Thankfully I was able to sit at the bar top instead of waiting in the long queue. This place is BUSY, and I'm sure most items can back that up. Everyone was drinking the famous bloody Mary's and enjoying the beautiful weather outside. I haven't had a poboy in a while since I haven't been home for some time. I wanted the staple item that reminded me of home. Reading the menu, I was a little confused on the "toppings" for the poboy since they were not your typical items. I opted anyways because I trusted the chef's decision to add these toppings. I was somewhat letdown unfortunately just because to me it didn't taste like a true poboy. The French bread didn't have that crunch a poboy should have also. Like I said in the earlier part of the review, I can't dock the restaurant for one time I myself don't like too much. The gumbo was great and although the roux was a little thick it still was full of flavor. Can never go wrong with gumbo. Staff was great and killin' it for how busy they were. They didn't seem stressed or overwhelmed and held their composure well. The restaurant reminds me of home and spending days with my family. I will be back to try other items soon.

A creole twist with a Colorado reference, I enjoyed the eggs Pontchartrain -- crisp fried mountain trout, perfectly poached eggs topped with tarragon -flecked béarnaise sauce, and half serving each of well-seasoned potatoes and cheesy grits. Everything was flavorful and attractive, with vibrant colors and contrasting textures. A large biscuit comes as a side, with fruit jam -- so leave some "room" or be prepared to take home! Able to dine under the shade of a patio, or inside, at this location (one of several in the state). Service was swift. Open all days until 2 PM. read more

I'm shocked to see the 4 star average for this place. Came across it when I was visiting Denver, and we ended up going back again we enjoyed it so much. Won't get into everything, but some highlights include the beignets (just like nola), the Bloody Mary, shrimp and grits, and the grits on their own as well. The juices are fresh squeezed, eggs cooked as requested, all around delicious. Brad was our waiter the first visit, super friendly, had a great chat with him. My only regret is not buying a t-shirt. read more

Lucile's Creole Cafe - Cajun/Creole Near Me - Denver, Colorado

Had a lovely brunch at the picnic tables out front. It was a pretty busy Sunday morning so service was a little spotty but we ended up with everything we needed. I enjoyed my fresh-squeezed mimosa but folks weren't impressed with the bloody marys that were claimed to be "famous." Just kind of bland. The biscuits were super fluffy. Personally I prefer them a bit more dense and crisp. The potatoes were bomb, so don't sleep on those. The grits were nothing special. I did enjoy my Eggs New Orleans but there wasn't much eggplant? I guess I was expecting a larger, crispier portion. Would definitely return if I were in the mood for Cajun cooking specifically but maybe not my immediate go-to. read more
