We loved Lucille's! We visited during Miracle on King St since our entire family was in town to celebrate the holiday. We loved the festive atmosphere, Christmas music, and holiday drink menu to kick up some holiday cheer! We started off with cheese curds and nachos, and ended with three different pizzas. It was fabulous!

I was in town visiting my dad for Thanksgiving from Phoenix, and we typically try to come to this restaurant when we’re visiting. As always, it didn’t disappoint, food and drinks were great, and our server was super friendly.
