Hot Off The Grill

This is where Ryan took me for Valentine's day earlier this year when I was still pregnant with Riley. We waited nearly an hour and a half, but it was easily one of the best suppers I've ever had eating out. I had a house salad, 10 oz. steak & baked potato, homemade roll, and blackberry cobbler! OMG, it was sooo good!

The restaurant was pretty unique also. See http://www.lucillesok.com/photos.html for some pics. On V-day, there was a guitar player singing old country songs and taking requests. He must've had a binder of sheet music that was 7 inches thick!! I requested "Hey Good Lookin'" by Hank Williams. He even sang it with a good *country* accent... it was so funny!

Unfortunately, there was a thunderstorm very early this morning that came through this area… a lightning strike hit Lucille’s restaurant and it caught fire.

I guess the restaurant sustained quite a bit of damage.

The firefighters focused more on the building to the south, which was primarily the bar portion of the restaurant and a historical monument.

This is pretty bad luck for the town of Mulhall, which was destroyed by a half-mile wide tornado on May 3, 1999 (the widest tornado ever on record).
Unless you live here, there's really not much of a reason to come here anymore... Too bad, this was a really good steakhouse!
