    Fried Chicken Wings.
    Thomas Q.

    I'll start off by saying that I thoroughly enjoyed this place. As for location it's somewhat hidden. Parking is decent for the type of establishment. I was skeptical at first because I didn't smell any aroma outside lol. Ordering was really simple and they have a lot of dipping sauce options. I chose the lemon pepper, buttermilk and rodeo. Rodeo sauce was great. My son liked the Buttermilk I didn't get to try it. The Lemon Pepper was alright but it was mustard based so it mainly tasted like Yellow Mustard. Loaded wedges tasted great. Have to eat them fast because the cheese solidified quickly as it cools. The front counter associate was great with helping decipher on which sauces to order. Also pricing is very fair for the amount of food you get.

    Gluten free loaded nuggets (no green onions)

    The service is always amazing. If you don't know what sauce to choose from, they will happily give you suggestions. The chicken is crispy and juicy and there is not a sauce that isn't delicious. They don't do dine-in, but I also cannot guarantee that the food will make it home in one piece. Ours didn't. The smell of delicious chicken called too strongly lol

    Nuggets, strips, wedges, biscuit and sauce.

    The chicken was huge and juicy. I have already been back twice for it! I loved the spicy honey bbq sauce too. The downside was that the biscuit was average and the Mac salad was too spicy/horseradish-ish for me. The potato wedges were huge. They were perfectly crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The salted chocolate chip cookies were a nice finish to the meal. The place is set up to mostly be carry out, but there was a table I was able to sit at and eat some. Be warned though that it is fresh from the frier, so it's super hot. The staff have consistently been nice and helpful.

    The food was fresh and hot! My son and I enjoyed it and will be back to pick up a to go order.

    Nuggets, loaded wedges, & mac salad

    The best fried chicken! Their nuggets are made with the best spices. So flavorful. Their sauces are all handmade. I could literally drink their lemon pepper sauce! It's my favorite. Their loaded wedges are also a must. U gotta try them with their getbaq sauce if u like a little heat. Also, their chicken is gluten free!

    I live in San Francisco, but I'm from the Central Valley, so I pass by Modesto every few months…read morewhen visiting my family. My friend from Modesto told me about this spot, and I immediately wanted to try it. I actually planned my drive around this pit stop, which was just a short detour off the 99. I ordered a biscuit with fried eggs and dear Lord, that biscuit was amazing, and so was the jam! The fried eggs were cooked perfectly and especially delicious with the hot sauces they had to offer. My brother got an egg sandwich on a brioche bun and he still can't stop talking about how good it was. He was particularly impressed with the brioche bun. We also got the blueberry french toast to go, which I didn't anticipate traveling very well, but it did and holy shit, it was fan-freaking-tastic when I ate it that evening. I can't even fathom how incredible it must be if eaten fresh. This place was so cute inside and clearly had an intentional aesthetic direction. There was a cute outdoor seating area in the front where I could have my dog with me, which is a huge plus. The service was top-notch and the food was ready lickety-split. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and attentive. I HIGHLY recommend this spot!!!

    ***Update*** Since I work as an Uber driver (one who…read moreattended culinary school) I always find myself eating in unfamiliar locales. Modesto is NOT close to home for me. After discovering Lucille several years ago, I will now willingly take rides far from home, although the fares sometimes dry up in the Central Valley. I have been to Lucille twice by myself. I brought my Godmother once. I recommend Lucille to everyone who I drive when they tell me that they live in or near Modesto. Today I brought my boyfriend and my dog, who lives in the Santa Cruz Mountains. It was Saturday, super crowded and my dog was being super reactive with another dog across the way. It was super embarrassing and, although I am sure that it stressed out the staff, they were calm, kind and attentive. I was stressed and shrill, my dog was being a grade-A A-hole. I'm sorry Lucille! The beet salad at this place features fresh mint and I always get it. The chocolate cookie with flaky malden salt is very yummy. Their house coffee is very high quality and doesn't taste gross and burned. I didn't love my soup today. The bar was set pretty high with the carrot soup I had another time. Honestly, it was a small detail and this place is so much better than 90% of restaurants. They sent me another chocolate cookie. That was never necessary. I love you Lucille! Thanks for the extra care and the extra cookie! You really deserve a larger building because you are awesome!

While I typically avoid paying premium prices for coffee, I decided to treat myself and finally give this location a try. Upon entering, I was greeted by a pleasant atmosphere and placed an order for three iced coffees, which I stated clearly. When my order was delivered, two of the drinks were iced, while one was served hot. I calmly and politely mentioned that all three were supposed to be iced coffees. At that point, I overheard an employee respond in the background with an attitude, stating that I had ordered the drink hot. I fully understand that mistakes can happen--orders can be entered incorrectly, and errors are part of any service environment. However, my concern lies with the dismissive attitude and the decision to challenge the customer's request in front of them. This interaction left a poor impression, and as a result, I do not plan to return to this establishment. I will instead continue supporting my usual coffee shops.

The bagels themselves were actually good very fresh, and you could tell the bread was nice, fluffy, and soft even after being toasted. That part was definitely the highlight. However, the coffee bar area where the fountain drinks are located was extremely dusty. It looked like nothing had been moved or cleaned under or around it in a long time. The soda fountain machine itself also appeared like it hadn't been cleaned recently. While ordering, I could also see the cutting board behind the counter and it's no longer white, it's basically gray from buildup. That definitely needs a deep clean. Service was also disappointing. When we walked in, we greeted the staff but some had AirPods in and didn't acknowledge us. The main cashier saw us standing there but didn't respond right away. We ordered breakfast bagels and waited about five minutes, which was actually pretty quick. When we finished and were leaving, we said "thank you, have a good day," and no one responded. That was honestly a little sad because this place really has potential. Overall: 2 stars. The bagel was decent, but with the cleanliness issues and lack of customer service, I probably won't be back.

The staff was sure to prepare my food without any dairy due to my allergy and you could tell they take food allergies seriously here. Their black coffee is always hot and delicious.

My only complaint is that I felt like we had to keep flagging the waitress down for refills (they seated us in the far back "forgotten" corner). My food also came out cold. I had to ask them to warm it up. And it is FREEZING cold in there every time I go! I'll bring a blanket next time.
