Lucille's Smokehouse Bar-b-que Dublin

I feel like this place is always hit or miss in terms of food quality. Service is usually great so no loss of points there but like today we had a plate of all kinds of meats and some of them were good and some were super dry and rubbery like they'd been under a heat lamp for hours. The chicken I could barely get my fork to pierce and we ended up just leaving it. We really like this place but we would hope for a little more consistency in the quality. *Not entirely sure how many visits we're up to now but glad we decided to revisit. The service has always been pretty good but we had trouble the first few times we came finding spectacular tastes. We have come a few times recently for happy hour (all day on some days apparently) and for less than $50 this time the two of us had some very tasty mac and cheese and a pulled pork grilled cheese sandwich and a few cocktails as well as an appetizer. Everything was especially good and nothing was just kinda meh. So either the kitchen has stepped up their game... Or we finally figured out the right things to order or some combination of those factors. *Third visit Been back a couple times now and the verdict is still about the same. The food is pretty good but not amazing. The service is generally saccharine but not terrible. The one bartender we sensed was especially warm and sincere was named Melissa if you sit at the bar and want good service. I would really like to come here some day and find the one dish to order that's the best thing. Every time I ask a server what the best thing is or what they would order I generally get a lot of hedging and well... This is popular and that's popular but no strong, confident "oh my god you have to try this on the menu!" Which I am coming to think means there isn't that on the menu. I think they need to come up with a blow your mind recipe. Pretty much everything about the experience we had I would put in the category of like but not love. The menu is pretty big though and many items on it sounded appealing so maybe when we go back we might stumble on to the love.

EXCELLENT SERVICE!!! Delicious BBQ. Our server, Danica, and the manager on staff were awesome. The dishes we ordered were flavorful and the meat had a really good smoky taste. There are 3 signature sauces to choose from ranging from mild to medium to hot. They give you large portions of food and the staff go the extra mile to make certain you are satisfied. The decor was entertaining and the images gave the place a southern artisitc feel.
