Always a good time at Lucille's. Love trying different items on the menu and everything is always very good. Went with friends and everyone enjoyed their meals. The server was engaging and made the experience even better. Lucille's is one of our local gems! read more

4/5 overall. The Gillian's Farm Pear and Goat Cheese Salad was incredible, definitely the highlight and I'll be back for it. Service was attentive, and we appreciated cooling off in the AC after a morning festival. The only hiccup was the appetizer arriving with the meal, which made things feel a bit rushed. The chips were also just okay this time, and the ketchup tasted sweeter than usual. Still a great experience overall! read more

I don't often say this, but there's NO room for improvement. This was the most amazing experience, perfect food presentation, marvelous custom cocktails, and lively and friendly service. Courtney at the tableside, Krista behind the bar, and Tom hovering everywhere to assure that quality pervades. This was as good as it gets. And the ambiance! Music was not overwhelming so we could enjoy conversation, the deco and color scheme contributed to a modern, warm feel. I had the blackened chicken & brie sandwich. Excellent. Wife had the California chicken sandwich. Both were well presented and delivered. But what put me over the top was the sweet potato fries with marshmallow sauce. Amazing!! We enjoyed cocktails too - "You Give Me Butterflies" and "Mighty Bold of You" made with fresh squeezed fruit juices and in-house made syrups. Can't get much better! Then, dessert: terrific carrot cake and the last slice of blueberry pie. Mmmmm. Stay for dessert! Want to know more? Go see them yourself! They're open 7 days a week and Krista seems like she's always here! Tell Tom I sent you! read more

Hat off to the owners for a fun and vibrant interior! Definitely gives classic diner but still feels modern. We were warmly welcomed by the staff and excited to try brunch. Because mimosas and Bellinis are only $5- we started with a round. Super awesome deal! Beyond that we had a good variety of plates around the table. I personally did the banana foster French toast. Really loved it but thought it could have used way more banana! I think there were maybe 5-6 pieces of banana. Otherwise, a solid dish. Also around the table was a bowl of chili, a club sandwich, and chicken Brie. The plates were all hearty. The sandwiches were nice and the chili had good flavor but could have been served a tad hotter. Was Luke warm by time it hit the table. All in all, a nice spot in the downtown area though parking is a bit tricky as a result. Will swing back for some menu items next time in the area! read more

I'm cautiously optimistic! Second time to eat at Lucille's while visiting a local shop. The first visit, with the soup, was not so good. This time, friend and I decided to try the salads. Our friendly server was present as soon as we sat down. Friend ordered the Lucille's Original Crispy Chicken Salad; I ordered the West Coast Blackened Chicken Salad. The salads were delicious! 2 dressings for each served on the side. We tried each other's dressing. The blue cheese is homemade and really good. The dressing for the West Coast Blackened Chicken Salad was tangy and perfect for the salad. We mentioned the soups from the last visit to the server. She mentioned that sometimes it depends on the cook. Who knows? We'll go back the next time we're in town and try something different. read more

This is definitely a restaurant I come to every time we visit Legoland. This place is fantastic. Drinks are made from scratch and food is delicious. This review is for future me. The butterflies drink is delicious. 10/10 it's not too sweet and I loved the flavor. It came in a martini glass and I will absolutely get it again. My older son just wanted fries so we got the kids grilled chicken and fries. My younger one liked the grilled chicken as did I. I'm impressed how tender it was. My younger one wanted Mac and cheese but they were out of the kids menu version so we got the skillet. It was definitely too big but delicious. He will want the kids version of this but if they're out next time we need to get him another kids meal. My husband got the chimichurri steak with potatoes and green beans. Also 10/10. My younger son helped demolish this. Steak was cooked perfectly medium rare. I always end up eating what others don't and even without ordering we couldn't finish the Mac and cheese. That is definitely a dish for two adults. It is creamy and I would recommend it if you like Mac and cheese. This is my favorite restaurant in this area. I will absolutely come back. On a Sunday night it was pretty empty, so no wait at all and service was fantastic. read more

This was our first time at Lucille's, and the service was excellent. Our server Sophia was very attentive and always stopped by our table to check everything was okay. I ordered a mahi-mahi sandwich, which was tender and well-seasoned. I also ordered fried sweet potatoes, which didn't impress me much, and there were very few of them. The place is very nice and comfortable. read more

What a find! A must visit if you're here for Legoland. Atmosphere/Ambience: Old diner throw back meets family restaurant with darker colors. Lots of booths. Noisy background with large dining spaces but not too loud. Good for families with kids when you know it won't disrupt others. Happening place! Service: Very accommodating and super attentive. Flexible with needs. Water always full. Order ad-ons went in quick. When half of the food took a bit, manager came out with some free food even though we didn't complain! Easy to get a reservation here same day for a weekend during prime time for a large party with kids. Food: Really delicious and tons of options. We loved the holiday cocktails, kids menu, adult menu, and desserts. Everything was a banger. Standouts included the BBQ plate, shrimp, salads, and fries. Yes, the fries. Perfect crispy inside and pillowing inside. Simple dishes on the surface, but very well executed and flavorful. We wanted to order more even though we were stuffed. Very large portions. Drinks: Agree the butterfly drink is a standout. Holiday cocktails including Coquita was nice. Good selection of a craft beer. No complaints and very intriguing. Price: Incredible deal! Usually pay twice this or more in larger cities and for the quality? Amazing. We will be back! read more

A quaint little cafe in downtown WH. Exactly what i expected, and that was perfect for me. I enjoyed the daily special of hot honey chicken, baked potato soup and sweet potato fries. Tasty meal, and great service. read more

Decided to give this place another try, this time for dinner instead of breakfast. Walked in on a Thursday evening, it was fairly empty. Our waitress Adriana was extremely nice and attentive, she offered so much refill, to go cups etc. service was top notch lol. We ordered the Cali sandwich and my fiancé had the patty melt. Was told the patty melt was good but would switch out the bread, since the rye bread had a little more flavor than the patty meat itself. My Cali sandwich was really good, no complaints, the fries were also nice and crispy. Would return again! read more

The potato chips are great! The homemade ketchup was sweet and interesting. The tomato soup was a little bit watery but tasted good, Michele thought it wasn't right and offered us a replacement potato in its place to go. Pot pie was massive and full of chicken and veggies. It was a bit dryer than expected but still very tasty. The staff here are amazing! Michele our wait staff took care of us from start to finish. In addition to the replacement soup, she had the manager take the pot pie off our bill. I forgot to mention the grow root beer, which is a local brewer that's available on the menu. Got the beer, which was terrific. Amazing place all all. If you're in Winterhaven or even near Orlando, make sure you take a ride over to Lucille's. You won't regret it. read more

Right in the heart of downtown WH, this spot is a great American style restaurant. Parking may be a little difficult since it's located in the heart of downtown, but it's worth the effort. The food is very good and priced well. Service was good and friendly. Definitely a spot to revisit! read more

Another visit to this wonderful restaurant in Winter Haven. My wish list is for another one to pop up in Haines City or Davenport. First time I ordered the pulled pork platter and I wasn't disappointed. A small mountain of pulled pork with two containers of bbq sauce. I substituted fresh green beans for mashed potatoes. They were very yummy. The pork was yummy. Also had Cole slaw, a good portion was given. Wifey had the chicken fingers, her favorite menu idea at Lucille's. Came with crispy, great tasting fries. Cole slaw which was not in my photo. She moved it before I snapped my shot. We came back with friends the next day and I had the chicken tenders. Plenty of food. A slice of blueberry pie came home with us. Good friendly service each of the days. No problem with substituting the sides. read more

Decently good but not spectacular food. The vibes are on point - I think the outside area is so cute & the inside is decorated really nicely so first impressions were great as far as I'm concerned. It was Sunday evening so we were sat quickly and got a waitress quickly. We only drank water but they do have Coke products which is a plus for me. I ordered the buffalo cauliflower first which was soooooo good. A good portion, perfectly fried, and the sauce has a nice kick. I got the chicken salad but opted for ranch dressing and the honey bbq sauce on the side. Glad I did because the honey bbq definitely has a mustard base which is not for me but the salad was a great portion. My husband got the baked macaroni with chicken. Also a great portion and the cheese sauce was super creamy. Overall a nice little spot in Winter Haven. read more

So I had low expectations with this place already but the decor and aesthetic is warm and inviting so I'll give them that. But I got the angus chili with burger and fries and I'm sorry but I can't justify it being almost $16. It's $10.99 at best. It was ok nothing to rave about but I was starving and it was pretty good. The chili was just spicy with no balance of flavors. The meat chunks were not as tender as I would have liked them to be. I don't know if the fries are frozen but they didn't taste fresh and I couldn't eat most of them because they reminded me of elementary school fries I used to eat . Overall I'm not sure I'd come back. Our server was amazing and attentive though . Sophia went above and beyond and truly one of the best servers I've ever came across. read more

DAD AND SON BREAKFAST ADVENTURE!!! We were out for breakfast and wanted somewhere new. We found Lucille's in DT Winter Haven so we went to check em out. We were lucky and got one of those tables with the flame in it outside. From what I saw inside as we walked through it had a nice color palette and looked fresh. The outside is very nice as well!!! The service was great as well. Our waiter was very nice and personable. We ordered the potato skins for an app. They were good, but nothing special for the price!!! For our mains we chose two things and split them. We chose the Blackened chicken and Brie sandwich as well as the Chicken with Waffles. Let's start with the chicken with waffles and fried potatoes as a side. We both thought It was good, but very basic in flavor. The waffles were also thin Belgian waffles not thick and fluffy, like I like em. The potato home fries were YUMMY!!! The Blackened Chicken and Brie Sandwich was tasty. I really enjoyed it. My Son was a little put off by the cheese, but ended up liking it as well!!! We both liked the chips!!! AS ALWAYS TRY IT FOR YOURSELF!!! read more

This was our first time at Lucille's and the service was perfect from the warm smile when greeted, our server Tami and the managers continuously stopping by to see if we were ok. An overall great experience! The decor and ambiance was very laid back and modern. It felt like you were dining with family! Let's talk about all the awesome menu options! They are a scratch kitchen so everything is made from scratch and made fresh daily! We ordered the pb&j french toast- whoever created that deserves a raise! So good, fresh and unique. I believe the toast was crusted with a macadamia nut coating! I literally wanted to try everything on the menu! Another highlight was the spinach dip- the seasoning was great! If you wanted to ever try this place, now's the time! Can't wait to come back! We traveled from Apollo Beach read more

The servers were extremely friendly and helpful. When our server didn't bring the fries as ordered, another server jumped right in and made the correction. That's a plus. The food was okay, simple fare. The homemade potato chips lacked salt - there was none. Probably due to the misconception that salt is bad (which is not - trust me, I'm a nutritional therapist), so they weren't a selling point. The outdoor seating was a nice touch. Just average overall. read more

Lunch Sat at bar Very knowledgeable and friendly bartender Gluten-free and dairy free review: Ordered medium well burger, gluten-free udis bun, added red onion and pickle and asked for the herb aïoli So good! Very nice char grilled flavor Side of sweet potato "sticks" which are classic fry shape When I requested the Keylime aïoli to go along with it, the bartender informed me that they put butter in that aïoli so I shouldn't have it. Unique decor, comfortable bar seats read more

We liked this place so much that we had to visit a second time for lunch during our work visit to Winterhaven just to try something different. The menu is extensive and it would be hard pressed to not find something. I like that they have rotating specials as well. I enjoyed soup, sandwich, and a salad during my visit, and my coworkers seemed to enjoy tacos, burgers and whatever else they had. Staff are super friendly as well and accommodated a large party of 8 quite easily read more
