Lucille’s Smokehouse Bar-B-Que may be a California chain, but at the restaurant’s only Arizona location, it aims to provide a one-of-a-kind experience. From the front porch outside to the checkered floor and brick walls inside to the live blues music on Saturdays, the Southern-themed restaurant offers something different. Try the fried pickles, then move on to a smoked entree, from beef brisket to baby back ribs to pulled pork.
