Lucille's is the Name, and BBQ is the Game

Written by David DiCrescenzo on . Posted in Dining Out

One of the great things about So. Florida is the BBQ.  Every town has at least one and maybe several great BBQ places.  For the past several months, I’d been hearing about one such BBQ place, Lucille’s 'Bad to the Bone,' BBQ down in Boynton Beach, and the other day a friend of mine and I decided to have a bite to eat, discuss some business, and check it out, and I’m real glad we did.

We stopped in before the dinner rush and had no problem being seated right away.  I looked over the menu and decided fairly quickly that since I wanted to sample several items, I would order the 'Pit Platter III.’  It comes with a quarter of a chicken and choice of two meats, or you can have the pulled chicken; and that’s what I ordered.  

You also get two sides with the meal as well as corn bread, so I ordered the Baked Beans which were yummy, and the Collard Greens which were also very good with just the right tanginess.  I must be the only transplanted Yankee that actually likes Collard Greens, but I digress. 

When the food arrived at the table, both of us were blown away at the size of the portions.  As you can see from the picture, they are more than ample bordering on 'ginormous,' and they are outrageously delicious.  I wanted to eat it all, but there was just no way, so I had lunch for two days with the leftovers, and so did my friend.  

With its great food, friendly atmosphere, and excellent service, The Patriots Press gives Lucille’s 'Bad to the Bone' BBQ a solid 5 Star rating.

You can find them in Boca Raton and Boynton Beach, and you can get all the advanced information on them by simply visiting their website at www.badtothebonebbq.com.
