Lucille's American Cafe

This is a beautifully decorated diner with the 1940’s vibe all around. The service was excellent. Beth was friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. It was our first time here and we enjoyed it very much. They have $5 mimosas, but we opted for coffee. My husband ordered the Country Scramble skillet and I had the 2/2/2 Special- two eggs, two sausages or bacon and 2 pancakes or French toast. Large portions, promptly served and most of all delicious! We will definitely come back for lunch or dinner soon. Come to Lucille’s. You will thank me later. Note: Lucille’s serves breakfast only on weekends when they open at 10 am.

I loved the place. The service was great. They gave us a choice of sitting inside or outside, we chose inside because it was so nice and cool. The menu had so many great choices it was hard to choose. I picked the hot honey chicken sandwich. OMG 😲 it was the most amazing thing I've ever put in my mouth. It was topped with coleslaw. I picked the sweet potato fries with it and they were amazing as well. It was so big I brought half home. I re heated the it that night and enjoyed it again. I will definitely be back. I wish it was close to my home in punta gorda. Please consider placing a location there.

Weston, FL. Awesome diner vibe! Susan served us very well, checked on us and made great recommendations for dishes. The chicken pot pie, cherry pie, and Greek salad had good homemade flavor. My husband added salt to the pot pie and he said the chicken was long and strings of it got stuck between his teeth. Also the carrot pieces were large and retained more heat than the rest of the dish so he said be careful it might burn my tongue. I didn’t care, I finished the rest of his pot pie. The tables out back overlook the lake and have a bright ambiance. Inside it’s like a New York diner with dark booths, homey decor and 60s hits playing in the background.

Found this small and quaint diner in the neighborhood after work. The reviews were pretty good and we love to try new places (especially the mom and pop establishments). It was the evening hour so we were surprised when they sat us immediately. The young man in the front counter was so helpful and polite (just stated his new job a few weeks ago). We were greeted by our server (Gabby) and she was very attentive. She gave us some recommendations. We trusted her suggestions and we’re not disappointed. The manager (Paul) was absolutely amazing and he stayed a while to chat with us. This place transpired us back to the 1990’s and we loved the old school diner decor and atmosphere. The food was fresh, tasty, portions were a good size and the prices were reasonable. We will be back and encourage anyone in thy area to give them a chance.

I take 146 mile drive down to visit my brother who lives in Broward County. Our favorite breakfast place is Lucille‘s American Café. Now that we’re both retired we get to enjoy more quality time at Lucille‘s catching up. Love the food the staff are amazingand they always follow up with an endless cup of coffee.

Found this breakfast gem while googling places to eat near me! First off... lot's of parking spots on a Sunday! Went in and boom...loved the decor and music they played! I knew so many songs...I sang along! Definitely brought me back to the 50's-60's era! ELLIOTT our waiter was such an inviting, happy to be there and loved what he does type of human being! Ask for ELLIOTT to be your server. Service from your hostess, waiter and staff just pleasant and lovely...they always checked on you and made you feel at home! They offer a brunch menu and $5 mimosas.... yum! We got Lucy's breakfast burger with melted brie...did not disappoint...we also got Lucy's breakfast sandwich and macadamia crusted french toast which by far was my favorite... it came with smoked bacon and a orange tropical marmalade thingy for dipping....perfection! Definitely recommend!

All done. Property owners raised the rent and forced a Weston favorite, beloved by many, to close. Heading to Winter Haven for their new restaurant! Too bad Weston. Paul and Beth did their best to get the number down.

Great atmosphere, retro 30s and 40s photos on the wall, and 40s music playing. Love it! Came here with my friend Terry and we had an early dinner on New Year's Day. Dominica was our waitress... she was cheerful and friendly and gave excellent service. I had the black eye pea soup for starters, nice and not too hot. Then a most excellent Cobb salad. For dessert... we shared a bread pudding... Awesome 3/17/24 Came with a friend to enjoy St. Patrick's Day. I had the baked Potato Applewood bacon soup and the corn beef and cabbage. The soup was excellent... served hot and very creamy. The corn beef and cabbage was also 😋 delicious. Charles was our waiter and was most attentive, courteous, and checked how everything was.

Went and had brunch with the family a few times, liked the ribs, they are very good. Don't know about other dishes but mine was real good.

Lucille's is a south Florida staple. It is consistently good with high quality food. I absolutely love their tomato and blue cheese soup. The service is always quick whether they are busy or not. You really have the ambiance of an old school diner in here. I highly recommend the tomato soup and their macadamia chicken. So good! Will miss this place when it's gone

My family loves going to Lucille's in Weston. Their soups are delicious and their food is great. We have never been disappointed in the food or the service. Also my kids really enjoy going to feed the turtles outside, just make sure you bring some quarters.

Very sad to see this location close due to soaring rent price. Food was always excellent and the service was so friendly and efficient. Will miss the food and staff.

4.5 food but service makes this rounded up to 5 stars. I've never heard of this place but I was in the area and hungry and decided to check it out. I'm glad it had good reviews because it drew me in and I'm glad I visited. When we visited it was pretty quiet but seemed like it was ready to handle a lot more people. I got a wedge salad and a half club and I'm glad I did. As a fatty who loves food, I considered getting the wedge salad and a full club and getting some to go, but I'm glad I didnt. Both were filling and both were great. The wedge was almost like a desert version of a salad. The dressing was awesome, and smothered in blue cheese and bacon. Salads sound healthy, but me and my cholesterol both knew this wasn't. But I ordered it and loved it, I'm not mad at the nutrition. The Club was great! It was lunchmeat but sliced thicker than you'd get from most delis or anywhere else actually. It wasn't reinventing the wheel but it was nothing short of a great experience either. Their menu is HUGE, I bounced around from a turkey dinner, to meatloaf, to soups but honestly I loved the club and wedge salad and likely would order it again. Cured my hunger and more, and when I'm back in the area I'll definitely stop in again.

First thing first the Decor love the way they did it old school Dinner Old pic on the wall it's just lovely. food I had the cheeseburger and Onion Rings just perfect not greasy at all great quality Onions rings same event tho they don't look like house made there were great my wife had chicken salad wish was very fresh overall great experience food wise service great they came to the table and ask multiple times how were doing will recommend this place for sure

Since I started coming to Lucille's I have been pleased with the meals I ordered. It's been 10-15 years since I discovered this gem. They will be missed. Today they are closing their doors do to greedy landlord.

The food and drinks were amazing the service and staff and so clean. The outside area is beautiful. Kids menus and lots of running space. Cooked to perfection. Highly recommend

UPDATE: In the mood for the legendary Lucille Sandwich - oven roast sliced turkey with coleslaw, swiss cheese, and russian dressing on grilled rye bread - $13.99...This sandwich with a side of fries made me very happy especially right before a movie. The waitress, Alejandra, was super nice and the food came out hot in about eight minutes. The owner, Beth, checked up on us. The Bathroom was supplied and pleasantly clean too. Updated to a five star review.

Comfort food in Weston. This is a good place to eat if you want a simple BLT, hamburger or meatloaf. Today I was excited to order the Legendary Lucille Sandwich $14.00 that my hubby ordered in the past and loved it. Been here a few times and the staff seems happy and friendly. The owner said hello to me and my hubby which was nice.

Lucille, whoever you are, you are amazing. What a great place, nachos were fantastic and the Mahi Rachel sandwich was exquisite. Mahi was fresh and moist, sauce was flavorful and the rye bread with caraway seeds was perfectly toasted. Onion rings were amazing, overall a great meal. This is a nice, clean, diner style restaurant in a beautiful location. We will definitely stop again.

The atmosphere is fine, sort of a classic throwback feel to it. Service was ok, even though they did forget to get us a few things. We got the burger and a buffalo chicken sandwich. The burger was average and thats ok. I wasn't expecting the best burger Ive ever had. It just needed to be an average burger...and it was. The buffalo chicken is super salty! I am not sure what is happening there but it was almost too much to eat. It has a nice expansive menu, and they have homemade chips which are delicious. The homemade ketchup was not for me, a bit too much tomato flavor but some will like it for sure. I would go again and try something else but I wouldnt go out of my way to do it.

An outstanding place. We been coming here for a long time never disappoint! Service, food ambience always a delight

Phenomenal comfort food. Great service. Super ambiance. We can for an early dinner on Saturday at 4:30. We will definitely be back. We had the tomato blue cheese soup & a cup of chili. Then we had the 3 cheese Mac n cheese & the meatloaf dinner with mashed & green beans. American comfort food at its finest. Sooooo darn good!!!

I had a couple of not-so-great experiences in a row some years ago and vowed never to go back. But I was meeting some friends for dinner and they suggested it, so I somewhat grudgingly went along. The experience this time was fine, the waitress was pleasant and service was maybe a little slow but good enough. But here's the thing that still gets me: this is a "classic American diner" which is okay, and the restaurant looks the part. But the food is very meat-centric. Not many vegetarian options. And the prices are perhaps a little high.... Everything that came out looked fresh, and my companions said they liked it. I ordered a salad and it was fine. It was a decent size and tasted good. But it was nothing to write home about. I just can't get over the past experiences, and there was nothing this time that I felt would make me want to come back. So I probably won't.

This comfy diner deserves to stay open. It's a "just serving good food with a smile". We deserve it as customers. Keep up the good fight.

The food was well prepared, the service from our server was terrific and the relaxed ambiance was perfect for a nice evening out with mom before she returned to Ohio.

Wow!! First time here and will definitely be back. Simple diner food with delicious flavors. We started with the Beer Cheese Soup which was divine. We had the Buffalo Chicken Sandwich and the Cici Melt which were both delicious. I upgraded to onion rings and they were possibly the best onion rings that I've ever had. The batter didn't break apart and they were perfectly cooked. I ordered their homemade Honey BBQ sauce which was good. My grandson had the chicken tenders with homemade applesauce which was out of this world. To end the meal we shared the carrot cake which was also delicious. It's served warm and drizzled with caramel sauce. Our server was friendly and I can't wait to come back to try some of the other items on the menu.

Food was good the atmosphere was very nice- we sat outside and the kids fed the turtles and catfish. The birds were chirping and it was a beautiful day. The Wedge salad was delicious, the breakfast tacos were delicious- the breakfast burger was delicious too-the kids had cheeseburgers and chicken tenders- good servings. Everything reasonably priced. A bit of a wait- to be expected on Sunday after church crowd.

As soon as we walked in we were greeted and taken to a table. There were several families but they have a good amount of space and tables. Even tables outside of you'd like to sit by the lake. We ordered split pea soup with him and it was delicious! The day was cold so that was perfect for the day. I had the California chicken sandwich but I gave my avocados to my husband who had a cheeseburger. Everything was delicious and the food came quick. I definitely will be back to try more from their menu. Don't sleep on this place it is great food!! We didn't have room for the bread pudding dessert. Maybe next time!

I have to say overall I was very disappointed with my visit on this past Saturday the server was not very attentive when asked for things. It took forever to get the food came warm. Not hot. They got the order wrong after he had clarified it before putting it in will not go back

Has a relaxing covered outdoor patio on the water. I enjoy their California chicken sandwich and salad. Although sometimes the side portions could be more generous. At my last visit on 2pm on a Saturday, it wasn't too crowded. My friend ordered a Cobb salad without bacon, it came with bacon, it took a while to fix the issue but otherwise the service was good. They didn't rush us, this is a nice spot to relax with some food and chat with friends. The parking lot can get crowded.

Not sure what all the fuss is about walked in the restaurant was empty. Got sat down waited about 15 minutes didn't even get greeted at the table so we walked out. And when somewhere else. From the other reviews looks like it might be a great place. Maybe we'll try it again someday but really really bad service.

This is the saddest review ill ever write. My glorious Lucille's is closing because greedy ass Weston landlords need 17 racks a day of rent of fund their very exciting lifestyle as amateur pickleball players. Anywho I've been to this restaurant more than maybe other sit down place. Even considering fast food ive probably only been to McDonalds and subway more. The comfort food indeed comforts you no matter what you need. Whether its a hug or seven million dollars to pay back your gambling debt, Lucille's will make you forget your problems as you eat your delicious $18 chicken salad. Or your $15 burger with French fries and ketchup. Goodbye queen

I had the pot pie, which the waitress said was their best seller. The chicken was so chewy (like chewing gum). The carrots and potatoes were rather hard and the pie itself did not have much flavor. I told the waitress and she said she would let the cook know. She did not offer a replacement or anything. Needless to say, I could not eat it. I only gave 2 stars because I had the pancakes a couple days ago and they were good.

Absolutely no complaints here! Huge menu, reasonable prices, giant portions, and wonderful outdoor seating on the canal ~ I felt like I was transported back in time. Really appreciated a relaxing lunch that fit the bill!

Got a double whammy for this review! Went back Sunday and had another great meal. This time was the steak salad and it was great. Also, at their Winter Haven location we had a great lunch and breakfast back in August. We actually booked a reservation for a farewell breakfast the morning after our daughter's wedding. A GREAT TIME all the way around! Keep it up!

Good local restaurant with homey meals. Great service. Many regulars eat here. Large selection of big salads, daily lunch and dinner specials.

First of all it is lovely to be greeted with a genuine smile. Dylan sat us outside on the waterfront deck and it was very nice and not too warm. I asked him what his favorites were and then he went through each category. He listed the top 3 hot sandwiches, salads, entrees and starters. Tj was our server. I asked him his favorite and he said the California chicken club. I chose the chicken pot pie... oh my goodness there has to be a half of a chicken in this pie. I could not eat it all but I will be finishing it tonight. This was not store bought it was homemade! My husband got a side salad with the oregano dressing which was homemade and delicious. He also got a half of a tuna salad sanwich. The tuna was tasty as well. While we waited maybe 10 minutes for our food I fed the turtles and catfish. I didn't have any quarters so I asked Tj to add a dollar on our tab. We were so full but we decided to get a piece of carrot cake to go. It was amazing as well!! At the end of our visit Tj said since this is your first time let me pay for that carrot cake for you. Amazing!! The carrot cake we tasted before we left it was delicious! Tj brought us our check and said if you come back (we are on Thursday) you have to try the bread pudding. This place was full of locals and I can see why!!

Heard great things about this place so decided to give it a try! Was not disappointed in the least bit. Place is super cute, service is friendly and food was on point. I'm sick and wanted a spot with some good soup. I got the chicken noodle and the baked potato. Both were equally good but the chicken noodle really hit the spot! For dinner we got the fried chicken salad and BLT. We got to go, I wish the bread on my BLT was crispier but everything else was great. Mine same with a side I chose broccoli but it was very undercooked I would of liked it less Aldente that is just my preference! My husband couldn't stop talking about how good the salad was!! Love that you get complimentary muffins... they went perfectly with our blueberry pie. OMG so good!! Can't wait to order more yummy things from this place!!

Lucille's American Cafe was opened in 1999 in the Waterway Shoppe in Weston, by owners Beth and Paul Nunez who wanted to create a restaurant with a comfort food menu made from scratch with locally sourced ingredients. They also have an inventive cocktail menu made with fresh ingredients. Lucille's business philosophy is "Good food, good service, friendly service, comfort with a smile." This past summer they expanded to a second location in Winter Haven Florida. I love the 1940's theme of the restaurant. It has a very vintage look with dark wood, black and white checkered tile floor, Formica tables, and black and white photos on the walls. As nice as it is on the inside, I like to dine outside where you can take in the view of the lake and watch the birds, fish, and turtles. I came to Lucille's for lunch and they have a large menu featuring appetizers, salads, soup, blue plate specials, hot and cold sandwiches, platters, low calorie selections, and milk shakes, floats, and malts. Lucille's Original Crispy Chicken Salad looked tempting and they are famous for their roast turkey dinner but I ended up ordering The Lucille Sandwich made with oven roasted turkey, coleslaw, swiss cheese, and Russian dressing on grilled rye. It came with a side of fries. It was exactly what I was craving. The waitress was very attentive and kept my sweet tea refills pouring, I really enjoyed my visit and the next time I find myself in west Broward, I will be stopping by for that salad,

Awesome diner experience. The grilled cheese is very yummy and the staff is always great. I even came here one day for brunch and to work on laptop and it was perfect.

The menu is filled with down home comfort foods as well as delicious salads, burgers and sandwiches. It is decorated as you wold expect with tables and chairs and booths all around. If you want some fresh air as you indulge on their fantastic food, they have terrace seating near the waterfront. Nico, the server, was very attentive and gave us shoo-in what to get. I had the meatloaf and it was fantastic. My wife had the chicken Madeira and my daughter had the macadamia chicken. Everything was great.

Diner like restaurant with decent food. The patty melt was good, the buffalo chicken sandwich was just ok. Chicken breast was small and thin. Service was excellent.

This one in Weston is closed, but you might want to beware of the Winterhaven location. Not long before they closed in Weston, I had lunch there, total was $30+ with tip. The charge went through THREE times, and I can't get it resolved. They claimed I was there 3 days in a row - NOT, and if I had (totally unlikely), what are the chances that the charge would have been exactly the same every day. They won't resolve it, and Wells Fargo says I have to prove I was only there once. How do you prove a negative? So I'm out $60+ and I guess it won't break me, but I would never frequent any establishment that Paul and Beth own again. BEWARE!!!!!

Food and service is very very good!! Everything is good, especially Homemade ketchup is amazing~ !

Great patty melt! Love the muffins they give you to take home. Definitely will be back.

I'm surprised that I haven't reviewed Lucille's before. From 2018-2019 through 17 hospitalizations for my mom at Cleveland Clinic, I picked up food dozens of times. Each time was fantastic! Yesterday after taking my parents to Cleveland Clinic for doctor appointments, we went for lunch. Again, fantastic! I had a turkey club with some of their great fries. Go if you can!

Food, service and ambiance are all great! Food is absolutely delicious. We've been there a few times already

Disappoined Again! Cooking and presentation has gone down hill. First went to Lucille's over 20 years. We loved everything and rated very high. However,the last 3 times the food has just not been the same. Today, I had a Breakfast Burrito with Chili. First noticed the small portion of Chili on top was dry like it sat under a heat lamp and dried! Then the most homestyle potatoes were severely burned. The "Spinach Tortilla" was hard and believe it or not the chili was tasteless To me...thats 3 strikes. PS...The lady that sat us spoke to me in Spanish, I don't speak Spanish! Sorry Lucille's, owners need to get more involved.

Friendly service and great atmosphere. Brunch was delicious!! I didn't know what to choose . Eggs Benedict were delicious. French toast was delicious. One of my new favorite places !

Takes me back in time. The restaurant reflects the past with oldies music and and "old" NY diner feel. Today, we ate outside on the large patio with large fans above us. The patio overlooks the lake. Quite serene this morning. The food is always fresh and some homemade specialties. Dressing and even ketchup! I had the spinach steak wrap with blue cheese, tomatoes and onions. The waiter was on target with napkins, water and more coffee. During our meal, the manager checked to see if we were enjoying. Needless to say.... Yes, of course. Definitely many more do-overs for this gem.

What a cute place. You step back into a time warp with great service, ice people and tasty comfort food. I had the turkey burger and my mom had the patty melt. Very generous portions so you are not hungry. Do save room for dessert though as they looked yummy. I will be back for more tasty treats.

Great food great service very clean restaurant definitely recommend it to anyone who wants taste of the old fashioned diners from the 60s and 70s

Have been here several times before when we were traveling just when Covid was starting. Ambiance is the same and food quality is superb! Restaurant is well organized and clean. Rest room was also very clean. Delicious! Always happy to find a local place with great food and attentive service. We tried the crispy chicken salad, wedge salad and chicken pot pie. All had ample servings and fresh ingredients. The dressing on the chicken salad was very good. The blue cheese dressing on the wedge was very tasty especially with the extra blue cheese on the side. Bacon in both salads was the right extra touch! Pot pie was so tasty we took a couple to go. The homemade blueberry pie comes lightly heated with ice cream if you choose. Saving that for later as a special treat! Highly recommend and will be back again.

Lucille's America Cafe always makes for a nice afternoon lunch on the waterway. This used to be my weekly lunch spot with coworkers when I worked in Weston 15 years ago. It's still the same quality and friendly service. It has an upscale diner look but the staff is professional and friendly. They offer multiple options to ensure that you have an enjoyable meal. The waitstaff is exceptional.

Okay. Wow. Are you looking for the best brunch in Broward? Come to Lucille's. I'd been wanting to visit ever since my family shared some of their delicious lunch leftovers from here with me, and I am absolutely blown away. Their bread pudding french toast is outstanding. It's decadent, sweet without being overwhelming, and altogether over the top - aka EXACTLY what you want from brunch. It literally just feels like eating dessert, it was SO good. Do yourself a favor and try this dish! I also tried a bite of my mom's chicken and waffles, which was another winner. The chicken was crispy without being dry and well seasoned, and the waffle was so perfectly crisp, it retained its texture even at the end of the meal after adding syrup. We got an order of the home fries to share along with our mains and they were very good, perfectly seasoned with plenty of tasty onions and peppers mixed in. Even their coffee was impressive - it's apparently just Folger's, but whatever magic they work in that kitchen takes out the bitter aftertaste and made for a really enjoyable cup of black coffee. I also really appreciate the ambiance at Lucille's. I love the retro vibe of the dining room, along with the friendly service and general cleanliness of the whole place. I really liked that while busy, it wasn't overly crowded. So many brunch places get swamped on the weekends so you end up having to yell over the crowd to talk at your table - not so here. It was a really relaxing, enjoyable experience, and would be great for families. However they do offer a menu of wine and beer along with specials on mimosas on weekends if boozy brunch is more your style. Everything on the menu here sounds so good, I can't wait to come back and explore even more of their options!

Just wow. The food, the staff, the ambiance. Brothers and I went here by chance. Gabby our waitress, super nice. Patrick our host...awesome Then ... The Food. I had the tomato blue cheese soup and blackened chicken and Brie sandwich. My brothers had the pulled pork stuffed taters with a side of chilli, the other had their "Hangover" a pulled pork sandwich with bacon jam, sautéed onions and 2 types of cheese on toasted rye and sweet tater fries. Be sure to try the house made ketchup and the marshmallow sauce! Absolutely wonderful. Simple food done RIGHT

Lucille's is kind of a classic in the area; it's been here since I was little, and has a good variety of diner-type dishes, comfort food, and American classics. Their crispy chicken salad is a comfort go-to for me. The honey bbq dressing is unexpected, but it works so well and the chicken is always so perfect and tender. 5 stars easily. It's a bit expensive for a salad, but the portion is really big. Last time I went, I decided to switch it up and got the blackened chicken & Brie sandwich. It was good overall with the perfect amount of char. However, I expected more than just a couple small strips of brie for what seems to be, by the name, the focal point of the sandwich. The chicken was also a bit tough in some spots. The table could've been cleaner when we were sat. The staff were very attentive. We even joked about how many times we had been checked on and by how many people. Overall, I love Lucille's and will definitely be back. I'll stick with my favorite: the crispy chicken salad.
