Lucile’s makes us homesick for beignets and the bayou—even though we’re Colorado natives. The Creole brunch spot does so many things well, like ultra-fluffy biscuits, spicy andouille sausage omelets, and piping hot beignets, which is probably why even after 40 years and seven Front Range locations, they still attract major crowds, especially on the weekends. Eating on the Southern-style porches at the Boulder and Wash Park locations is an extra treat.
