My wife and I had breakfast at Lucille's for the first time and we can't wait to go back. The service was fantastic. They really make you feel like family. Anyone can do eggs and toast, but if you come here you must try the biscuits and gravy. We also took home a peach pie and it's the best pie I've ever had in my life. So do yourself a favor and stop here for breakfast or lunch. Don't let distance be an excuse, we live an hour and a half away. This place is legendary.

Great, small eatery with friendly staff and amazing food. Definitely worth the stop, or the trip, to this hidden gem! Try the toasted sticky bun, you won't be disappointed! Will definitely be going back here for sure, which seems to be what happens with many who eat here - the restaurant has tons of regulars which is always a great sign!

All the staff are very friendly and helpful. The corned beef hash was delicious. Crispy and not greasy Biscuits and gravy were yummy Grits were slightly bland and could have been more creamy. I will definitely be back next time I am in the area Our server was very friendly and helpful. Never rushed us, and answered all our questions. We felt like regulars. Kudos to the staff

I had a great time driving through the Jersey Pines and stopped by for breakfast. The staff was friendly, the food great and the atmosphere of quiet country living amazing! Even bought a “I ate with the Jersey Devil” shirt! Thank you for making my stay enjoyable…

This place was good. Their Taylor ham egg and cheese sandwich was perfect. The cinnamon thing I got was pretty good it was topped with walnuts. My wrap was ok. The lettuce was wilted from it being grilled and it could have used sauce like balsamic dressing or mayo. The place was packed when we went, but we hope it won't be as bad when all the beach goers leave after this season. I would go back.

I rarely give five stars to anything. But my visit to Lucille's was excellent all the way around. I went for breakfast. Staff was prompt, super attentive, and super friendly. Coffee was really good and it came in an oversized cup with a longer than normal spoon. Omelet was large, delicious and the extra ingredients were fresh and tasty. Toast was actually toasted, crunchy good with plenty of butter. Home fries were real potatoes with onions and delicious. We were a party of three, we sat at the counter, and when the super friendly waitress learned it was our first time there, the staff got together to announce we were first timers and everyone cheered! Our visit to Lucille's was super enjoyable and we look forward to going back! Highly recommend! Update: I have gone back to Lucille's several times since my initial visit. I love Lucille's! It's absolutely my favorite place to get breakfast. The omelets are sort of burrito style, meaning the egg is cooked in a big circle, the added ingredients (cheese, onions, etc) go on top, then the egg is folded over to close it up. Host Kim is the very best. So good!

If you crave mouth watering, down-home country cooking, Lucille’s Country Cooking is the FIRST place and in my opinion, the only place you should come! It stands on Main, country like/ county road in Barnegat Twp. set in a very country surrounding. So not only is the food down home country but so is it’s surroundings and environment. It feels like you’ve left NJ and went down south! Absolutely proud that it actually is in Southern NJ or as we say South Jersey. You can sit outside on the covered patio, or umbrella covered picnic tables or inside. Just about any dish you try is absolutely savory and you can taste the home country cooking. Their portions are generous and prices are fair for the portions and experience you have. They are a family run place and open from 8am-2pm Tues-Sunday. They also bake fresh homemade pies and desserts for purchase to take out as well as sell the famous Jersey Devil Merchandise. I had the biscuits and gravy meal that I can happily say was the BEST homemade biscuits and gravy I’ve had that includes having had down south and even at the most classic diners. Every element of this dish is home-made from the fresh baked biscuits, shredded home fries, the whole fresh sausage and homemade gravy. My party also indulged in a BLT sandwich with fries and a fresh made to order omelet with tomatoes, peppers and onions, gluten free toast and home fries. Don’t forget to have a steaming hot cup of coffee there too. If you’re into four wheeling and off road Jeep mudding/riding, come on by with your vehicle. They welcome you with open arms and plenty of parking. It’s also a hot spot for classic cars and Harleys!

Very small breakfast and lunch spot that has amazing food. Very friendly service, popular among locals. Jersey Omelette is one of the best Omelettes I have ever had, Very cheesy! We had to wait a while, the restaurant is tiny, but worth the wait. Cash or venmo only. ATM on site but was out of service. Scrapple was delicious, cooked to perfection. We come every year when in the neighborhood.
