They also serve great salads and coffee. They have already opened a second location in Martinez and received high accolades from Diablo Magazine among others. Bobby Mac's Barbecue Smoke House is located right next door to Lucia's and offers delicious soul food favorites like fried chicken sandwiches and creole jambalaya.
