    Hot link basket
    Jon M.

    I was in the area and wanted to check this place out. There were some good as well as bad parts of here. Let's start with the bad. The staff is def not friendly or welcoming. They didn't say hi or anything and I placed my order anyways. If you are the type that doesn't like your food touching, def not the place for you since the fries were just poured on top of everything.. The ones over the bbq weren't bad, but the ones in the beans not too great of a flavor lol. The fries were plain and not seasoned, and the beans were nothing special either. Now the good parts of it. I tried the hot links and they were very good and tasted like they are smoked which added an amazing flavor. I really liked the bbq sauce as well.. Had a slight kick which was really good, especially on hot links. Overall would I return here? Unsure, but decent food and really good links at a great price for everything, can't beat. The prices online are wrong though, and the hot link plate was $8.99 instead of the $6.49 on their downloadable menu, but not bad considering prices are going up everywhere right now.

    Great customer service and food is Delicious.

    Look, I understand that they are not going to win a BBQ Award from whatever pit-master show you watch but I do know this. If you have $12 in your pocket and you want chicken, hot link and ribs with fries smothered in BBQ sauce. This is where you want to go. Thank me later and don't be deterred by the neighborhood or location. Now, you will hear some yelling to the cooks when you start to order and maybe not get a greeting when you walk in but that's because it's supposed to feel like home. enjoy.

    The last time I ate at a Good Luck was in 1975. This is the only one left, so after a doctor's appointment I got the hot link basket to go. The links were not good, borderline terrible. Fries were soggy and stale and the beans were dry and lacked seasoning. Not sure if I'll be back, but if I do hot links are a no go.

    Not good, my wife found mold on her food? Place seemed a bit dingy and dirty but decided to give it a shot. It's cheap for a reason. I personally wouldn't go back tried to call and they would not answer the phone. Idk what to think about a moldy rib?

    There are hole-in-the-walls, and then there are hole-in-the-walls with bars on the windows in areas of town that is better to see the light of day. This is the latter and soooooo worth the trip. Good Luck is one of those places that has been around for a long time (the faded sign and decor proves that), that knows their bbq and scares vegetarians away. Starting with almost too many choices, I went witht he BBQ Plate. $7.49 and piled with food. Two Pieces of chicken, one hot link and one large rib, plus fries and Texas toast. It was served in your standard large styrofoam clamshell, but with so much food, they wrapped it with plastic wrap to keep it all in....... nice. And an inch stack of napkins to boot. As for the food? Great BBQ sauce, moist chicken, meaty rib and the hot link was really good with a hint of spice at the end. The fries were crispy and the toast was well, toast? Really, that's not important..... the meat was what I came for and I am sure not hungry after that meal. Make your way there, it's only minutes from downtown Ft Worth and two minutes off of 35W. And get it to go................... Enjoy

    I visited Good Luck because it popped up in a Yelp search a few weeks ago. Now that I've tried it, well, glad I got that out of the way. If anything I have listed below is important to you, skip Good Luck. 1. Being greeted by the staff with a smile. 2. Even being acknowledged within 60 seconds. 3. A clean appearing environment. 4. Speed of service. 5. Receiving a thank you for your order or a come back and see us. If you go, good luck.

My late grandmother was a superb country cook and her name was Maggie. Good omen! We got there about 11:45 and got a table right away. Our server was Devin and she was terrific. We split the chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and green beans. The portion that they brought out was gigantic....plenty for two average appetites. What I really liked about it was - it was not over-breaded and it was fork-tender. (in my humble opinion, too many places are giving you a lot more breading that doesn't have meat under it. Yes, it's a first-world problem.) The mashed potatoes were also quite good, along with the cream gravy. I'm not a huge green bean fan, but my wife really liked them. This place has a cool vibe and we plan to return sometime soon. It's one of the top 3 CFS's we've had in Fort Worth / mid-cities.

We ordered nachos as an appetizer to split, along with two beers and a kids meal. What arrived was Motley Crue waking from a drug binge, raiding the pantry and trash, then declaring "let's do it." What was supposed to be nachos was anything but. The only explanation is someone who had never seen nachos tried to recreate them after hearing a rumor from someone at a Lowe's parking lot. The "chips" were not tortilla chips. They were rectangular strips of pale, flimsy material that looked like scraps of drywall film pulled out of a new construction site. An albino drywall experiment that somehow escaped the kitchen and landed on a plate. The entire thing was covered in barbecue sauce, with some mystery white liquid poured over the top. We assume it was supposed to be queso, but it definitely was not queso. Calling it queso feels disrespectful to actual queso. We ate maybe a quarter of it and decided we needed to leave before things got worse. Six hours later, we received an unannounced encore performance in the bathroom. I would avoid this place like a plague outbreak--unless you have an upcoming colonoscopy and want to skip the bowel prep.

When we entered the establishment, I looked around and saw not one Black/African-American person. The amount of the minorities I could count on my hand. I am originally from the Arlington/Grand Prairie area, a bit of a melting pot, so I rarely experience being the only Black person in the room. Upon entering, I instantly felt a bit uncomfortable. Nonetheless we were seated at a corner booth right next to a group of four. Although I felt uncomfortable, I could see that my best friend (white) still wanted to dine there, even after I pointed out that we weren't in the most formal attire (among other reasons). I decided to suck up my grievances and give the food a try. Don't get me wrong, the meal was great, if I looked past the slight fear of something in it. I applaud the waiter for giving us the best service, he did a great job. Now, here's the kicker. As we were eating our food, two older white ladies arrive, and they are seated right next to us, right next to me. One of the ladies goes back and forth with the hostess about the location of the seating. I didn't want to be nosy, so I wasn't exactly listening to their dialogue. Eventually, instead of right next to me, they were seated at a different table, and served. The next group of people, white as well, were then seated a couple of seats away from us. This is all really just speculation. As we left the restaurant, I saw two Black people. A runner, and a patron. Both lighter than a paper bag. Overall the waiter and the food were both exceptionally excellent, however, I do not see myself coming back in the near future.

With that being said, I like to believe I have a good palate for Chinese food. If you're coming here expecting authentic Chinese food, you won't necessarily be disappointed but just know that your expectations also may not be met. However, if you're looking for upscale Chinese American food then Teddy Wongs is certainly the place to go. I came here on two different occasions - one for a friend's birthday and another for a date. In short, both were great. Both times did require reservations or at least strongly implied so. I did see one couple that seemed to have gotten turned away on a busy night, so just keep that in mind. Additionally, parking may be a bit of an issue as other reviews have noted. However, if you plan accordingly and park at a nearby lot where it's past hours and marked, then it's not an issue. That's at least how it was for me in both instances. Now, when you walk in, the space is more of a dimly lit environment. Perfect for celebrations or date nights (at least from my two visits). With reservations, we were quickly seated. I will say that we were seated quite close to another table during the date so for smaller parties, you may get to know your neighbors. Both servers in the visits were phenomenal - knowledgeable with the menu, friendly with interaction, and quick overall. Could not ask for better! Having been here twice, especially for the birthday, I'd say that I got to try a good amount of their most popular items. In terms of the dumplings, what stood out to me were the pork and crab soup dumplings, spicey wok-fired har gow, and the truffle pork soup dumplings. An appetizer that I will say was a standout was the cucumber salad. It has a good amount of spice that is well complimented by the cold temperature of the dish with a satisfying crunch. Perfect palate cleanser, especially before the dishes that come ahead. For mains, the spicy cilantro cod was a standout with just the right amount of heat. Of course, you have to get the peking duck. It comes in half or whole options. During both occasions, in parties of four and two, we got the half and it was enough. Sure, it wasn't necessarily the quality that you'd get in Beijing but it's certainly up there for a Chinese American restaurant. For dessert, we got the chocolate dumplings. It's exactly what you would imagine... melty rich chocolate contained within a dumpling wrapper. If you've ever had Din Tai Fung then it's more or less that. Lastly, in terms of drinks, I did get the Lucky Emperor at one visit. It's sweet, crisp, and tart. Great drink that I believe complimented the meal! Overall, I do recommend Teddy Wongs. The food is good but the atmosphere, vibes, and service are what really make this a worthwhile visit.
