Dallas ObserverAugust 19, 2014The large, '50s-style diner serves great sandwiches, salads and veggie tacos, but the real draws here are the crispy outside, juicy inside chicken-fried steak, chicken-fried chicken and hot cornbread. Read more
Bryan NapoliOctober 16, 2014Lucky's is the first breakfast place I visited when I can to Dallas for the first time last year. It is one of my favorite places for a hearty breakfast, good and simple. The staff are great too!
Barton Creek Club Salad was wonderful. Generous helping of turkey, bacon, a few sliced tomatoes and yummy honey sweetened ranch dressing. The best part was NO ONIONS! Loved it!
Ankita AgarwalJuly 26, 2016Breakfast all day, including their delicious Migas, fried Brussel sprouts and freshly squeezed juice! Couldn't have asked for more! I am definitely marking Lucky's Cafe as a frequent spot:)
It's all about the jalepeno poppers. while I can choose to be healthy with all the delicious vegetable choices, I usually eat chicken fried steak and sweet potato fries. yummm.
Although I think their breakfasts are some of the best in Dallas and their morning biscuits are to die for, their lunches and dinners are special too. Great selection of vegetables, too!
Shayla WilliamsAugust 25, 2016Delicious!!! The staff was so sweet and the food was FANTASTIC! Only complaint would be I LOVE GRITS and the grits here were very coarse almost crunchy and not good.
Darrel DrakeMay 27, 2018Great comfort food and nice wait staff. Consistently good. An Oaklawn institution that has survived three decades.
Brittney PotterApril 5, 2015Biscuits are amazing! Along with their scrambled eggs. Not a fan of their grits. They need to make some kind of cheese grits to add to their menu.
Lindsey KusJuly 31, 2011The blueberry pancakes are heaven. Lots of berries inside and on top, warm syrup and whipped butter= perfect pancakes! And if you want a savory breakfast get the migas! Amazing!
Jiesu LeeOctober 7, 2016Migas, chicken and waffles, chicken fried steak andddd mimosas. Do I need to say anything else? 😍
This is my favorite place to eat alone on weekdays & read the newspaper. James, Jim, Roger & Arg are the greatest. On weekends they're slammed but weekdays are serene. Sit next to the windows.
Andréa MicheleJune 22, 2013Good service; older crowd; migas delicious & a mimosa in a baby beer mug - what more can I say
Kevin HandyMarch 6, 2011Lucky's is an all around great breakfast, brunch and lunch place. Meeting place for the glittery, glitterati, gay and metrosexual. Whether you're hung over or just...well you know - hungry...
The people are my favorite but the food is pretty great too. Just a real solid neighborhood joint.
Tim HuberNovember 19, 2016Delicious ! The all American is great as well as turkey BLT. Inexpensive as well
Lucky's chicken fried chicken waffle is one of the best kept secrets in all of Dallas. Get it fully loaded (butter, syrup, gravy, etc). Seriously! You will not be disappointed.
- Dallas ObserverSeptember 17, 2013Lucky’s makes theirs with bacon, sautéed onions, tomato, and green chilies, with cheddar and Swiss on Texas toast.
Definitely try the new and improved Lucky's. Breakfast all day everyday.
Susan JarnaginApril 28, 2012Lucky's is a great old town, uptown diner. They have great food and drinks and the wait staff is wonderful!
Jenna TenpennyJuly 28, 2015Best biscuits (besides the ones my grandmother makes) I've ever tasted...
Eric N Amy ZavalaDecember 14, 2014Excellent service, great atmosphere, chicken & waffles was DELICIOUS!
Ask for the huevoes rancheros first and wait for the reaction. Then order the black bean breakfast burrito ... Yummy!
Amanda WellsOctober 6, 2012Great food! Interesting wait staff but the service and breakfast was great especially for the price
The place to start the AM. My pick is simple: cup of oatmeal with brown sugar and coffee + free WiFI. Day started off right.
- Miguel A. Gonzalez IIIMay 2, 2012Love the Chicken Fried steak...great pepper taste...check the board for the good stuff...
MelanieFebruary 11, 2012Order a root beer float & a grilled cheese with Bacon...not on the menu but Ohhhh sooooo gooood!
Really good and generous food portions.....Chicken omellete for the win!- Try their Chocolate Cake, absolutely delicious even their red velvet is great.
Been great for the last 19 years I've been going here!! Might want to carpool though.....
