If you know Blues, you know that BB King would be nothing without Lucille, a veritable extension of his arm, which is essential to his delivery of the plucks and strums that move us all.

And, if you’ve ever been to one of BB King’s clubs, you know that they would be less than adequate without Lucille’s, the Bar & Grill extension of the club, is essential to the delivery of the meals and drinks that move us all.

Rockin’ out to your favorite music act can make you thirsty and it can also make you hungry. While a cool club will give you good drinks and a limited menu; an excellent club like BB Kings gives you good drinks and a full menu with enough choices to keep the selection fresh to you after many, many visits.

Start things off with fried stuff–calamari, oysters or catfish, or share one of the platters with your friends. Lucille’s has two platters—the King Wings Combo Platter with BB’s homestyle BBQ sauce over spicy grilled wings and the King Seafood Platter with calamari, popcorn shrimp and catfish fingers.

You can keep things light with a fruit and cheese appetizer tray, followed by a salad and the linguini with grilled chicken or shrimp, but, c’mon, it’s a Bar & Grill—go straight to the fried stuff! I’m not leaving Lucille’s until I get my fill of the Southern Fried Chicken, and to pretend it’s balanced and healthy, they serve it with mashed potatoes and corn on the cob—whatever—Beer Me!!

Sorry, I was having a moment. There are other things on the menu and they actually taste good, because the restaurant cares about giving customers good food.

There are sandwiches, burgers, a 10 ounce filet mignon, meat loaf, and the Shrimp Creole that is New Orleans-good, indeed! Lucille’s is a Southern-styled restaurant, so try the Tennessee BBQ Pulled Pork Sandwich, or the Blackened Catfish with red beans and rice.

Sit down for your favorite group at BB King’s and then sit down for what will become your favorite food at Lucille’s.
