    Great place but the tropical buerre blanc has no business being so sweet. If I'm being honest it tasted like key lime pie filling so if that's ur gig go for it. Also a buerre blanc is meant to be creamy and velvety which this buerre blanc is not. However, the service was good.

    My fiancé and I decided to head to Winter Haven and try something new. After riding around we came across Lucille’s. And we will DEFINITELY be back! The staff was so friendly. Our server Diana was such a sweetheart. She gave us recommendations and was very helpful and conversational. The new GM David was just as kind and nice to talk with. My fiancé had the strip steak with green beans and mashed potatoes (just a heads up: it comes with peppercorns in a delicious gravy and you can get the peppercorn gravy on the side if you like). I had the day’s special of fried chicken with green beans and mashed potatoes. You get FOUR pieces of chicken (breast, wing, thigh and leg). I had to get a to go box. Desserts are homemade daily and the carrot cake is SO GOOD! We highly recommend coming here.

    I couldn’t say more amazing things about this place. The staff is #1 best service best management all around. The food is also prepared with the utmost quality and attention to detail to ensure every order comes out just as desired. The drinks are hand-crafted and curated with the highest quality and freshest ingredients. Definitely try the bread pudding, smoked pb & j old fashioned, and baked Mac and cheese with grilled shrimp on top.

    You must go to Lucille's American Cafe. The service is impeccable, the food is excellent. Their food is home made, fresh and delicious. My husband and I wanted something different besides fast food or franchise restaurants so we went there. We started off with the Spinach dip and chips. The dip was selicious and the chips were crispy. My husband had the meatloaf with mashed potatoes and and mixed veggies. I ordered the Chicken Rockefeller. It is chicken covered with spinach amd cheese along with crumbled bacon. Real bacon, not bacon bits. It came with rice pilaf, and mixed veggies. Both meals were cooked to perfection. This was our first time there and we will definitely be going back. Their pot pie looked amazing and it is a large serving. They have indoor and outdoor seating available. It is very comfortable and relaxing. It is not your typical "cafe". The staff are very friendly the manager goes to every table to see how everything was and is very personable, not your typical "just making sure all is good" manager, more like she was dining with you and held a conversation. Very friendly.

    ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ My husband and I had an absolutely amazing dining experience at Lucille’s in Winter Haven. From the moment we walked in, we loved the vibe of the restaurant—the colors, the decor, and the overall atmosphere were so inviting. Our waitress, Kendall, was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and she made excellent menu suggestions. We both ordered the turkey dinner, and it was nothing short of amazing. The turkey was perfectly juicy, the stuffing was savory, the gravy was truly to die for, and even the green beans were seasoned to perfection. Every bite was delicious. We found Lucille’s while just passing through, but we live in Clermont and have already decided it’s worth the drive to come back. Highly recommend this place for great food and outstanding service! Can you open a location in Clermont?? 😆
