The grilled chicken is bland and dry. The fries taste like they were thrown in an oven and heated up. Season up the chicken and make ACTUAL fries, grocery oven fries. read more

Eaten here a bunch of times and always had good service and good food. Some things on the menu can be a little bland, but nothing a little pepper or hot sauce can't fix. read more

As always this review must be qualified that it's getting a four star for Ridgecrest. This is not NY or LA. We've been there breakfast and dinner now and had good experiences both times. The wait staff is friendly and on top of things. We've gotten served quickly and the food;s been good. I had the chili rellano which is usually a deep fried cheesy mess anywhere you go and this was no exception. It's good sized portions and they have a couple if basic beers on tap as well; all the domestics, Newcastle. read more

One of my all time favorite places to eat. The staff is very courteous and polite. The waitress is quick to bring your order. The food is excellent. There was one time, when my hash browns were partially black but the waitress fixed it for me quickly. read more

Good food and friendly staff. Plenty of seating for bigger groups. Lots of parking. Good variety. Enjoy!

Lugo's is a restaurant owned by a great family in Ridgecrest. The wait staff is always friendly and helpful (especially Miguel and Ernesto), and the food is well proportioned for the price. They are listed as an "American Grill" and they do have a fantastic selection of burgers, sandwiches and other "American" foods, but they have many traditional Mexican specialties as well. I also hear they serve a mean Margarita. If you want fresh fruit for your crepes or pancakes rather than canned, you do have to ask for it, but it's available. Over the past few years, Lugo's has become our go-to place for breakfast on a Saturday morning. Breakfast, by the way, is served all day long. read more

This place is OK. Nothing to rave about. Decent, if a bit boring, food, large portions. Maybe that's why the localls seem to like it. Reminds of standard cafeteria fare presented with very little effort or creativity. In a larger city, with more competition, they'd likely go under. read more

I know a lot of folks like Lugo's - but I shall avoid it after ordering a half sandwich and salad. What could go wrong? The bread was NOT sourdough as I asked but a large THICK slab of white bread cut in half, not even toasted. There was a wad of turkey (it did taste fresh), a tasteless piece of tomato and some lettuce, and the worlds worst excuse for a dill pickle. If they can't do better than that, they should take it off the menu. If you're a senior and must eat there, the best bet is a meal from the senior menu and salad bar access is included I think. The waitress might have mentioned that fact to me. I haven't spoken out about the restaurants in Ridgecrest before but I'm getting tired of the mediocre food that is served in this town. It would be nice to eat out and feel we got good healthy food, tastefully prepared. read more

The NASTIEST food I have ever tried to eat in Ridgecrest. Everything was over fried on the outside and mush on the inside. Easter lunch 2015. We planned to do some shopping directly afterwards, instead, we both had to rush straight home. Fortunately we have 2 bathrooms. I ordered fish & chips and could only stomach a few fries. The Cole slaw was drowning in that nasty juice - like water. My wife ordered a pastrami sandwich, meat was OK but the bread was soggy. She only ate less than half. We won't be going back there again. Yelp is forcing me to give a strong rating, so I'll give one, otherwise I'd give none. read more

I went to Lugos for Easter I worked all day so I got off at 7 and went there and had pineapple glazed ham yams and green beans with peach cobbler for dessert my waitress was Susie my bartender was Ernesto Lugo who made me a Cadillac margarita it was very good everytime I go to lugos it's always very good and the service is always wonderful I give them 10 Star if I could!!! read more

The people are ok, the food is nasty! The taco's were very disappointing you would be better off at Taco Bell

It deserves 1 star for food. 3 stars for clean environment. 4 stars for the service. The service is outstanding and what you get in LA or other great restaurants outside of Ridgecrest. The food though - greasy and mediocre. The philly sandwich was difficult to chew even though it was cut in small pieces and the french roll was awful. I took the bread off and suffered through the tough meat. My date was pleased to be able to get breakfast at noon and thought the skillet eggs were pretty good except greasy. The tortillas that came with it were stuck together and gross. One trip and no need to return. It was very clean. I sure do wish the food matched the amazing service! read more

The food is always good but the napkins and silver wear were dirty. My ketchup bottle at the table was empty so I grabbed one from another table but it was also empty. read more

My husband & I like to have breakfast here on the wknds... delish! We've both had several different items from menu & have really enjoyed them all! Have only eaten here for dinner twice and... eh... it's ok. I'd go back though. read more

Had great breakfast with great service by Shanna. Service is sometimes hit or miss at Lugo's, Shanna is definitely a hit!

The last two times we went, the waiting time was ridiculous. The time before last we were seated and our server took our food order in a reasonable amount of time. But then we waited 30+ minutes for our food. Today, May 26, we found a seat. Our drink order was taken and promptly served. The waiter came to the table and asked if we were ready to order. We said we were, then he abruptly walked away before we ordered. We waited, and after sitting there sipping iced tea for a half hour, we left. The waiter never returned to our table. People that arrived well after we did were being served. Very disappointing. It used to be a family favorite. read more

Went here tonight and got enchiladas with beans and rice. It's was horrible. My food was cold. Beans were also straight of the can with cold shredded cheese on top. I would also say the rice was like minute rice. Service was also not great. Server was not very attentive and it took them about 15min to ask us if we were ready to order and was overall not very friendly. There were only 2 other small tables in there with about 5 servers working. I was bummed because I was looking forward to eating here more often due to the many food options they have. read more

Been there twice, so that shows you that I think they're good. The place it's self is dated that's why only 3 stars, but as far as the food, it's legit. I order breakfast every time and it's one the best in town... I definitely recommend this place.. read more

Don't eat here (unless you are getting pancakes). This place sucks! I am never eating here again! Anytime I have ordered anything from this restraunt that is not pancakes it comes out burnt to a crisp. Today my food was soooo burnt that the staff was giggling when I declined a to go box for the trash (I ate a couple bites because it was my lunch break and I had to get something in my tummy, burnt or not). I wish yelp did negative stars because Lugos should really get a -1 star for giggling about serving some horrendously burnt food. read more

The place is alright. It never feels very clean and the service is very hit-and-miss. The food is just OK. Prices are a bit high for the quality of the food. In my opinion, the only real upside is that it is one of the few places in town where you can get a meal and a mixed drink and not be bent over a barrel. But their mixed drinks are all sugary pre-made mixes and bottom shelf liquor. I don't recommend this place unless you are really wanting to try something different. read more

Low quality food !! They used canned strawberries on their pancakes.. Eew! and the service is worst than a chinese restaurant. The waiter guy slam the foods on our table and walked away , he did 't even say a word like enjoy your food or bon appetite or anything he just drop the food loudly on the table and walked. No eyes contact either lol . All three of us were like wth just happened ??! oh well, that didnt bother us much because our foods just arrived and we're a bunch if hungry cows so we get right in the business and eat. Yuck the foods tasted greasy and weird like a left over from the night before kinda food , it's so greasy i felt sick afterward.. my daughter only ate 1/4 of her pancakes and quit. Right at the very end of our dining the waiter finally came around and gave us the bill... all of the sudden he's much nicer and ask how the food was... it made me think he's only doing that only because now he's trying to earn some tips. lol for you folks trying to look for a decent breakfast place while in Ridgecrest i suggest try other place instead. you want to have a good time at breakfast with your family and not be bother by bad service or bad quality foods. read more

Great for breakfast. 2 egg senior omelette is great. Friendly staff who appreciate your business

This is my favorite place to eat in Ridgecrest. Family owned and very friendly. Great food and great staff!

It was later on a Saturday night and there weren't too many options in Ridgecrest. Thank goodness for Lugo's! We had the enchiladas and tacos and they were great . read more

We had dinner here the other night. I was disappointed to receive canned corn as the vegetable with my entree when the menu clearly said the entrees come with "fresh vegetables". The mashed potatoes weren't real either. However the country fried steak was tender and the gravy was pretty good. The service was good also. I won't be back until they use fresh ingredients. read more

Food is always hot and delicious... Great service and friendly staff... We eat here at least once a week and will keep coming back

Food was great! Server was super animated and friendly! AND we were only in town for the day and I left my purse there! They worked quickly to find my phone number and call me before I left town. All the cash and everything was still in it! They are definitely an example of the honest, friendly people you find in Ridgecrest! Thanks again Lugo's! read more

I always enjoy going to lunch at Lugo's. The food and service is always great. I appreciate that they have kid's and senior's size serving with lower prices. read more

Came in with family for dinner. The place wasn't terribly busy, but the table hadn't been wiped down prior to being reset. Menus were handed to us over the divider (behind us). Ordered ice tea with no lemon. The gal who brought the tea had a bowl of lemons...just in case. Once we ordered, we asked for the garlic toast to be brought out first. After 20 min, no garlic bread. Nobody came to offer refills of water or tea. We ordered salads and they were not delivered prior to the food being plated up. I watched the food sit on the tray for a good 5 min before someone realized the salads hadn't been delivered. The older server again handed the salads from behind us over the divider. Kind of tacky that she couldn't walk up 2 steps to hand them over directly. Two bites into the salad, the younger server, who had previously delivered the beverages brought the entrees. The food was ok. Nothing spectacular. The service was sub par for the amount of business. We had to hunt down the check. read more

If you're seeking something quick, do not go here. You will be here for hours. I'm still here while writing this review. The food was decent but the service extremely slow. Like Michelangelo-could-have-finished-painting-a-chapel-by-now slow. read more

When we ate at this restaurant last Sunday, the restaurant was relatively busy, but not booked. The seating was seat-yourself style. Because the restaurant was busy, we went ahead and sat down and ended up waiting 15 minutes before our waitress even approached our table to bring us menus. After we finally got our menus, we waited another 10 minutes to take our orders and then after we finished eating, we waited 20 minutes for our check! I was pretty livid with just this, but the worst part was that we were not even the only ones in the restaurant getting neglected! Another lady had been sitting in her seat for quite some time and had to yell to get attention so she and her friend could order! If this restaurant got a little more organized with waitressing and seating, I think they could solve most of their problems, but I will definitely NOT be going back to this restaurant!!! read more

We have been to Lugos many times and normally I would give then 4 to 5 stars, but based on the last two experiences we have had, they are barely getting 2. The food has always been exactly what we were looking for and expected, however the service has been less than ok the last two visits. We went this past Sunday for a late breakfast and it felt like we had to beg for any kind of service. We had to order drinks twice, then remind them to get them for us, our waitress never came back to check on us, we had to ask for our ticket and boxs twice, all while the table next to us were treated like royalty. The topping on the horrible service was the attitude we got when we used a reasturant.com coupon and nobody knew how to apply it to our bill. Needless to say, one of our favorite restaurants in Ridgecrest has become one that I'm not sure we will return to. read more

I always love going to Lugo's. Their staff is friendly, and the service is quick. The food is good too. I really like the eggs benedict, and the chorizo with eggs is also good. I will be coming back again soon, I'm sure. read more

We looked for a middle priced meal and found Lugos. Rations and taste were good and a fair price. Large Menü and Service was great that late. Would go there again when coming through Town. read more
