Heard this place was still open. It was a childhood favorite. Service was quick. Lots of cars out front. Should have kept the nostalgic dream because I was disappointed. My gizzards were fried in fish grease and were not good at all. The fries were hard, the Cole slaw was more mayo than anything and the toast was hard. I tried it but the childhood memory will have to suffice. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more

I came to Good Luck Drive in today for the 1st time off a coworkers advice. I will say I was lucky he told me about it. The employees were courteous and the interior is small but cozy. I got the Links plate. It comes with 3 big links, French fries, beans and Texas toast I paid $6.81!!! What a deal!It was all delicious. The beans tasted like a blend of Ranch Style beans and BBQ beans. The links have a nice firm bite to them. They are smoky and deceptively spicy. I have been done eating for about 15 mins and I still get the spice. It's not overwhelming. It is a good flavorful spice. I will definitely be back for more. I want to try the BBQ chicken!!! I highly recommend you give this place a chance. read more

Really good chicken, sausage, BBQ sauce, and prices! First time coming, I got the BBQ plate ($8.97) - 2 chicken pieces (not sure what part), 1 sausage link, 1 rib, fries and toast. The meat were all on one side and smothered in BBQ sauce. The good: Prices are pretty good. There are plenty of daily specials and deals that are good for the amount of food you get. Chicken is super tender and flavorful - you could even eat the bone without noticing it. Sausage was very flavorful without being too strong. BBQ sauce smothered over the meat is good - not too peppery or sweet, but a nice smokey flavor. The bad: Isn't the cleanest place, so that might be a turn-off. Fries were under-seasoned. Texas toast was buttered up. Fries/toast are just average and nothing to rave about at all - same price even if you get basket/plate without them. The ribs were a little dry, tough, and lacked flavor - wouldn't recommend. I will definitely come again, but stick to the chicken and sausage. read more

So yes, this continues to be a great place to take out. I still don't recommend eating in since it's kind of small and other reasons. The quarter inch chicken plate is still our go to option. We did try the cut beef sandwich but that was basically a sloppy joe that was too sweet. We also tried the chicken fried stake and that was way too salty. Also I don't understand why they added mayonnaise in the side of the salad, that was unneeded and I'm wondering if they mistook it for ranch lol. Besides those bad plates, the onion rings were amazing! I'll mostly continue with their signature BBQ plate but I'll be adding those delicious rings from here on out. Also the restaurant is connected to a gas station so it's a good idea to walk there for a good variety of drinks. With the affordable prices, Its only natural to continue to try out different plates. I'll be back to test/taste things out. read more

Look, if you are looking for a good cheap meal from a hole in the wall with rude staff running the joint, this is the place for you! Good Luck was actually pretty decent for the price. I was referred to this place by a fellow Yelper and my colleague and it turned out to be pretty good. The only thing I was disappointed in was the amount of barbecue sauce they pour on the chicken. The chicken was actually quite tasty and moist. I didn't care for the frozen store bought french fries but again you have to keep in mind I received a leg quater, fries, and a piece of Texas toast for $3.15!!! Where can you ever beat this price? NOWHERE! I will probably return when in search for a decent cheap meal on a night I don't feel like cooking and want to feel like I got out the house for a bit. read more

"Sabar BBQ: Where the lamb ribs made me want to high five a stranger."…read more TL;DR: Get there early, order the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, let Zain carve you a plate of happiness, and prepare to have your taste buds do a Texas two-step with Pakistani spices. Worth every minute of the wait. This one's climbing my top 50 list faster than a brisket disappears at a family reunion. After one failed mission to Sabar BBQ, where I showed up too late and found an empty pit (and an emptier stomach), I came back like a man on a barbecue pilgrimage. The sun was blazing, the line was growing, and I wasn't about to be left holding nothing but a napkin this time. Pitmaster Zain Shafi runs this blue trailer like a flavor command center. The smell hit me halfway through the line and had me grinning like a kid at the state fair. I made my move when it was my turn, and if you know me, you know lamb is my kryptonite. I ordered the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, then couldn't stop myself from adding brisket and Tandoori Turkey. The sides? Kachumber Salad and Daal Chawaal, because even Uncle Sean needs balance in life. Zain loaded everything up, tossed it all on top of some naan for good measure, and sent me to my table like a champion headed to the winner's circle. The first bite of lamb ribs nearly had me proposing to the pit. Spicy, tender, smoky perfection with a bark that made my heart sing. The brisket was rich and juicy, the turkey came with that tandoori kick that slapped me awake in the best way possible. The sauces just tied the whole thing together like a big barbecue hug. The yogurt mint cilantro sauce was made to cool and lift the brisket and turkey to a whole new level. The red sauce packed a punch and paired with the lamb like it was born for the job. I boxed up some leftovers for my wife, the Side Dish Queen herself, because a man who doesn't bring home naan from Sabar BBQ is a man sleeping on the couch. She confirmed what I already knew: this was next-level barbecue, the kind that earns legends and long lines. Sabar BBQ is only open on weekends, and only fools show up late. I won't make that mistake again. This was stop number 15 on my Texas Monthly Top 50 journey, leaving me with 35 more glorious BBQ pilgrimages ahead before the passport is full and my belt officially waves the white flag. If loving these lamb ribs is wrong, I don't wanna be rib-right.

With a bit more seasoning and flavor, the sides could be the hit of the location, and this I think will come with time and practice. Tried the greens (little bland, but wonderful texture), Mac and Cheese (actually seasoning was spot on), and beans (with meat...meh). The greens and MC were the hits for sure. Brisket was on the dry side, maybe overcooked, and could have used some better trimming before cooking I think. Did not try sausages or chicken, but both looked appetizing. They are still dialing in their pits is my guess, and expect cook quality to improve with a time. Quality of meat may also be worth considering. Overal, Brown's is definitely worth a visit, and as they find their groove they could be a contender. Right now would put them at a fair 3.5 stars, but the energy, great attitude (smiles means repeat business), and great beginnings is worthy of 4 stars even now, and a welcome addition to the neighborhood!

Ghost Food Park is one of the best food destinations in Arlington, TX -- and the #1 reason I keep…read morecoming back is Autana, the Venezuelan spot right inside the park. Their arepas are absolutely unreal: crispy on the outside, perfectly soft inside, and packed with incredible flavor. The food park has a great vibe, tons of variety, and the location in Arlington is super central and easy to get to. I've been here with family, with friends, on my own -- always a great experience. If you're looking for Venezuelan food in Arlington or the best arepas in the DFW area, you HAVE to find Autana at Ghost Food Park. Don't miss it!

I love the beer garden vibes during the day-- $6 draft beers on tap, multiple TVs playing the NFL…read moreplayoffs, live country music, and so much seating both indoors and outdoors. Heaters inside & campfires outside for extra warmth are a plus too. Would love to come back for the night vibes! Cocktails & shots on the menu! String lights and a lit up Ferris wheel outside ($5/ride or $10 all day pass). Plenty of clean (and hysterically decorated) bathrooms on each side too!

This was an unacceptable failure in basic guest comfort and decision-making. Wind gusts dropped to…read moreroughly 39°F, yet staff repeatedly refused to close the cold-weather awnings after multiple polite requests. The explanation given that the system "couldn't handle the wind" is deeply concerning. If awnings advertised and installed for cold weather cannot be safely used in windy conditions, that is a serious operational and safety issue that should be addressed before guests are seated underneath them. Instead, customers were left exposed, freezing, and ignored. What made this worse was not the weather, but the complete lack of accountability or alternative solutions. No effort to relocate guests, no escalation to management, just repeated refusal. This reflects poor planning and even worse customer care. Management should take this seriously. I would expect someone to reach out, because this experience alone is enough to keep us and others from returning.

Before all the action

Octoberfest beer and pretzel.

Well, what to say? Walked in on a Friday night to find it was trivia night. Had we known it would…read morehave been fun to show up earlier! Ordered 2 - 2 meat meals. Pulled pork - so so. Ribs were good but looked oddly brown - maybe put in a steamer? Smoked turkey was okay - tender and not overly smoky. Potato salad was bland, Cole slaw was even more bland. Pinto beans were surprisingly good! We asked about bread after getting our food and were told bread comes with a meat dinner. Oops! They would get it - but didn't and we then asked again just for the principle of it all. When the rolls came, cold, hard and not worth even a bite. Everyone working there was polite and attentive. ( One note- the trivia music was SO loud you couldn't hear or talk comfortably.) Probably not worth repeating. Oh, and we were only one of two tables eating.

The lady at the register was super friendly and welcoming. Unfortunately, the food was just meh…read more There were four of us who all got different things, and we each found our dishes to be underwhelming. Not bad, just not great. We all agreed that our dishes lacked flavor in one way or another. The brisket & pulled pork were cooked well but had no seasoning, the salsa tasted like blended veggies but was missing salt or cilantro or something- anything!, and the elote was drowning in butter. The BBQ sauce Sweet Baby Ray's, which is fine, but don't label it as your BBQ sauce and then give me SBR with my to-go order. There is a housemade glaze that we all thought was very odd - had a strong raisin/date flavor and it was sweet. The only things we could think of that it might taste good on were something sweet like a cinnamon roll, or maybe to glaze a ham. I tried it with the pulled pork and didn't love it. Overall, our meal was fine, but completely forgettable.
