We decided to make the trip (July 31st, 2025) to this beautiful, quiet little 50's style diner and…read morewe were greeted with tons of space and things to look at (an aquarium with delightful tropical looking fish, wall art featuring local photos from 75 years ago onward, cool cultural photos and posters from the 50's, lots of antiques, etc.). The food was very enjoyable, I got the Chicken Strip basket and it was delicious, real chicken, good fries and toast. My family got the Pickle Burger ("really good"), the Cod Platter ("flaky and delicious") and the Reuben ("needed more sauerkraut, but otherwise good"), as well as the Cheese Curds which I think we all liked. The Waitress was fantastic, friendly and helpful. We did arrive directly before a special event that they were closing early for but they still let us sit and order even though we made them a little late, which we are extremely grateful for! That does not go unnoticed. A very friendly environment, it seems like a place that would be a local favorite. I'll definitely visit again, although we do live about 45 miles away, but it was rather enjoyable and a rare, unique little spot.

Visitor from Sacramento, CA…read more The night of my trip to the Lucky Dog, I was having a Bass Ale at Jim's Tap in brookings and catching up with my old friends. My buddy told me that a mutual acquaintance had been scouring the area within a half hour to find the best hamburger. "Interesting," I said, "what did he find?" "Well," my buddy replied, "he has it narrowed down to two places. The first is the Lucky Dog in Volga." "That's where we had lunch," I said. "The other is Lemke's in Aurora," he replied. "And that's where we had dinner." (My parents have been retired for years and share the passion for a great burger. This was their go to spot as well. Make no mistake. The cover does not match the book here.) The Lucky Dog is relatively small. It is a bar and grill. The dining/ bar area is is functional, adorned with the typical football schedules and happy hour announcements, but I wouldn't say cluttered. Everything appeared to be clean and well-maintained. Service was cheery and brisk. I ordered a Cowboy burger, mi esposa ordered the (basic) hamburger, add cheese. There are a couple of reasons I'm giving this place a five star review. The first one is that, other than this place being located in Aurora, I couldn't find anything wrong with it all. Clean restrooms, comfy seats, decent beer selection, kitchen looked clean. And the only reason I dislike it being in Aurora is that I can't get the delicious burgers they sell here more often. I suspect that the beef in the sandwich was either hand ground or at least very high quality and hand cut from a roll of beef (if you know, you know). I would guess it was a little over a 1/3 lb patty, but as it was cooked immaculately to a touch under medium and lost zero moisture to the flat-top, hard to say. The bun was tidy and perfectly performed its function of allowing me to hold the sandwich without making a mess. It was fresh and pillowy. The onion ring was crispy and delicious. The barbeque sauce rich and intoxicating. To an extent, there was a factor of more is less. The sandwich was neither too big nor too small. Just tidy, efficient and a bulls-eye shot to my happy place. You don't have to rewrite culinary history when you make a menu item. You need to honor its ingredients, and this sandwich absolutely did just that. Thank you so, so much Lucky Dog.

We asked her what they are noted for and one response was the pork medallions so that is what I ordered. It came with a side salad and choice of side, of which I chose mashed potatoes. It was delicious. The medallions had a nice crispy coat of bacon surrounding juicy pork. Potatoes were creamy with the little red skins mashed in. Salad was fresh veggies. Loved my meal. Prices were very reasonable. Found a parking spot on the street near the front door and it looked like there may have been a lot in the back. Great experience.

You won't go wrong with whatever you order! The service to start our evening was a little slow, but we didn't mind as we were just enjoying a night out. When our server did come over they were very apologetic for taking so long to get to our table We cannot suggest the Prime Rib Canapés enough! They were cooked to perfection and we couldn't get enough of them. Our entrees were both delicious! The Prime Rib was amazing and just melted in your mouth. I was a little nervous how my tortellini would be with the prime rib shavings in it but honestly it was the perfect mixture and every bite was better than the last one.

We were greeted immediately. Menu consists of mostly pizza (wide variety with many unique offerings) and burgers. I wasn't very hungry so I just ordered an Arnold Palmer and tots. The AP was a bit watery but that may have been due to a variety of reasons. The tots were fine - could've been crispier but the price was definitely reasonable. My friend got a pizza which has a thin-ish crispy crust / good flavor! They've got a variety of canned beverages, coffees, bar drinks (with a specialty menu which is always a plus in my opinion!) and ice cream. Definitely a unique spot for a small town.
