A Southern Twist on Turkey Day
Forget about slaving over a hot stove all day. Lucille's is bringing the heat (and the smoke) to your Thanksgiving table. They're open from 10 AM to 8 PM on Turkey Day, giving you plenty of time to stuff your face with some seriously good eats.
The Main Event: Slow-Smoked Deliciousness
Lucille's isn't messing around when it comes to the star of the show. You've got options, folks:
- Slow-Smoked Turkey: This bird's been hanging out in the smoker, soaking up all that hickory goodness.
- Ham: For those who prefer their protein of the porcine variety.
- Both: Can't decide? Have your turkey and eat your ham, too!
Fixin's That Will Make Your Grandma Jealous
Hold onto your stretchy pants because the sides at Lucille's are no joke:
- Garlic Mashed Potatoes: Creamy, dreamy, and guaranteed to give you garlic breath (but it's worth it).
- Macaroni & Cheese: So cheesy, it should be illegal.
- Southern Stuffing: Because it ain't Thanksgiving without stuffing, y'all.
- County Fair Sweet Corn Pudding: It's like summer decided to crash your fall feast.
- Giblet Gravy: For drowning your turkey (and maybe your sorrows).
- Cranberry Sauce: Tangy, sweet, and not from a can!
And let's not forget the freshly baked biscuits with apple butter. You might want to loosen your belt a notch or two.
Sweet Endings
No Thanksgiving meal is complete without dessert, and Lucille's doesn't skimp on the sweet stuff. Each dinner includes a slice of pumpkin pie that'll make you forget all about your diet resolutions.
Kid-Friendly Feasting
Got little ones in tow? Lucille's has them covered with a kid's Thanksgiving dinner for $18.99. It's like the adult version, but smaller (and probably with less judgment if they only eat mac and cheese).
Take the Party Home
Not feeling the whole "eating out" vibe? No worries! Lucille's has got your back with take-home feasts. You can pre-order your meal and pick it up on Wednesday, November 27, or Thursday, November 28. Remember to place your order by 5 PM on Tuesday, November 26. Procrastinators, you've been warned!
Bonus Alert!
Here's a little something extra to be thankful for: If you pick up your Thanksgiving Feast or Supper on Wednesday, November 27, you'll score a $20 Bonus Card. It's like Lucille's saying, "Thanks for not waiting until the last minute!" Make sure your order is $60 or more, and you can use that bonus card from November 29, 2024, to January 31, 2025.
More Than Just Turkey
Don't sweat it if you're not feeling the traditional Thanksgiving vibe. Lucille's will also have their regular "Best of Bar-B-Que" menu available. So if you're craving ribs instead of turkey, they've got you covered.
A Feast for All
Whether you're dining in or taking out, Lucille's has options for everyone:
- Solo diners can enjoy a plate piled high with holiday goodness.
- Couples can share a romantic meal (nothing says love like matching food comas).
- Families can gather around for a feast without cooking and cleaning.
- Friend groups can have a "Friendsgiving" without fighting over who has to host.
Beyond the Plate
After you've stuffed yourself silly at Lucille's, Temecula Valley has plenty to offer:
- Walk off that food coma with some holiday shopping in Old Town Temecula.
- Take a scenic drive through wine country (a designated driver is required, of course).
- Brave the crowds for some Black Friday deals at the Promenade Temecula mall.
The Bottom Line
Lucille's Smokehouse BBQ in Temecula is serving up a Thanksgiving that's anything but boring. With slow-smoked meats, Southern-style sides, and all the fixings, it's a holiday feast with you unbuttoning your pants and saying, "Pass the biscuits, please!"
So whether you're a local looking to ditch the kitchen duties or a visitor wanting a taste of Southern hospitality in Southern California, Lucille's has got your Thanksgiving covered. Just don't blame us when you're too full to move afterward. That's what leftovers are for, right?
