Ashley S.Ashley Simms: It can be a long wait in line sometimes but is so worth it. Best brisket ever! Also love the sweet vinegar coleslaw.

Chuck R.Chuck Renaud: O. M. F. G. Everything I had, other than the okay-but-not great brisket chili, was the absolute best. Had melt-in-your-mouth sliced brisket, better-than-Memphis pulled pork, mac & cheese, cole slaw.

Jake S.Jake Smith: A pulled pork sandwich truly done right - huge hunks of meat on a delicious bun. A nearly perfect sauce. Points deducted for the coleslaw though, it's more like an onion salad.

deestivdeestiv: Amazing sandwich for the price! Get the capicola and cheese with a fried egg and don't skimp on the coleslaw or fries. And the mozzarella sticks are to DIE for.

Serious EatsSerious Eats: The turkey and cheese are thinly sliced and flavorful, while a pile of acidic coleslaw helps cut through the fat. Though addition of french fries makes for a few good bites, it's better without them.

Serious EatsSerious Eats: Lucky's makes some solidly built sandwiches, especially the Turkey & Cheese sandwich, featuring thick cut bread piled high with turkey, lettuce, coleslaw, and fresh-cut fries.
