Reviews for Lucca Bar & Grill in Benicia, CA
Walked in for dinner and no one even came to take my order. I asked a waitress for a menu and she never came back. All the wait... staff made eye contact and seem to not want to help. I?ve eaten here before with no issues but looks like they can?t handlevolume and maintain good service. Read more
This is only about the food. Service was five star. My fried chicken crust was crunchy, too crunchy like corn nuts. But near... raw too. Not good. Hamburger was charred to bitterness. Some of the steak fries were soggy and lukewarm. This is a basicmenu. Easy to get right, easy to get wrong. Anyone can look online to create great food. My advice: Try baking powder on thechicken skin before frying and don?t grill beef at such a high heat. They need to train up their cooks. Read more
We stayed in Benicia for 4 days and went to Lucca Bar and Grill twice. Very comfy outdoor seating, great staff, the food was... really really good, and the prices were less than they should be. Next time we are in the area, we will be back. Read more
Stopped by after a recommendation for fish and chips and Luccas delivered. Great location within walking distance of the water... front.. the spicy coleslaw that accompanied the fish was a tasty spin on a common side. Beer and wine selection was abundant aswell. Will be back for the chicken apparently after hearing about it from others there at the time! Read more
Everything was very well made, but the pork chop was miles better than the burger. The greens are good, the meat was prepared... well, but it is a little silly that they use wagyu, since you won't get any of the value of marbeling that comes with a wagyusteak, so ultimately the burger is probably a little over priced. That being said, it is still one of the highest qualityburgers in Benicia. But the pork chop was divine! Mashed potatoes were creamy with some chunks for variation, which Iappreciate. The meat itself was cooked nicely, with a good sear, keeping so much juice and flavor inside that it was just such agreat dish. Read more
I've been a repeat customer for many months now. I love the Beer Garden with music guests. Nice tiered seating so everyone can... see the musicians. Good acoustics too. The staff is beyond friendly and keep moving, so there's little wait for drink or foodorders. I really like the selections on the food menu and have tried several things. There's also an indoor bar and restaurant. Read more
I saw the fried chicken on the menu and I thought I have to try this place. My wife and I enjoyed a nice, relaxing Friday lunch... before an afternoon stroll in Benicia. We started with Deviled Eggs w/ Duck Prosciutto. Then we had a Beet Salad and Seared AhiSalad. We shared the Fried Chicken. The flavors of the dishes all blended well together and the portions were generous. Thefried chicken was crunchy and very juicy, and it more than satisfied my craving. A nice restaurant find for a spur of the momentouting. Read more
I visit about twice a month and appreciate their consistency with food, beverage and warm hospitality. The burger is my... favorite, medium with blue cheese and a salad with house dressing. They have fantastic specials as well. It's always super cleaninside and cozy. One of my favorite places to go for live music as well. A must visit if your from out of town. The have giftcards too!!!
