Lucile's

Lucile’s is hands-down one of the best spots on the front range for New Orleans–style comfort food. Everything I had was outstanding. I ordered the Cajun omelette, and it was perfection — fluffy eggs packed with spicy Cajun sausage and bold, savory flavor. Every bite was rich, satisfying, and deeply comforting. The biscuit deserves its own shout-out: enormous, perfectly baked, and paired with gravy that was creamy, flavorful, and just the right amount of spicy. It was so good I honestly could’ve made a meal out of just that. The only real “complaint” is how popular this place is — it fills up fast. Get there early or be ready to wait, but trust me, it’s absolutely worth it. That’s only reason I’ve taken a star away in “atmosphere” is because of the small quarters. If you’re craving authentic, soul-warming New Orleans food in Fort Collins, Lucile’s is a must-visit.

The kitchen must have been completely made up of people’s grandmamas, the food was that delicious! I felt like I was right at home. I was only in Ft. Collins for the weekend but I went to Lucille’s TWICE. I got the Cajun Breakfast and Pain Perdu. It’s been the best breakfast I’ve had in a while. I swear I dream about it sometimes. Can’t wait to come back!

Lucile’s is a creole dream nestled in the heart of Fort Collins. The vibe is family home, the service is prompt and super warm, and the kitchen is on top of their game. The dishes are classic and delicious, without any fussiness, and the portion sizes are generous! Never ending coffee refills during breakfast service never hurts, either. The dining room is both ample and cozy at the same time. If you’ve ever dined in New Orleans then you will feel right at home. And I would never have guessed after my first visit that there are several locations throughout Colorado. Highly recommended.
