Lucille's Bar-B-Que, Smokehouse - Concord, CA

Lucille's is a  fun place to have have a meal or appetizers.  When you walk in there is jazz music playing, local southern art on the walls, comfortable furniture, and the staff are generally nice people.  If you don't have money or time for vacation, I recommend going to Lucille's, closing your eyes and imagining you are in the south at a local bar-b-que place.
