This is a super tiny hole in the wall kinda place. Ended up walking past it during Blink and tried their hot mett cheese coney. It was pretty good. This is definitely a to go type of place. There is 1 oddly placed bench in the center for seating with no table. That's it. But for what i was trying to do, which was just grab a dog and take in the Blink sights--it was good enough for me!

Lucky dog is a great late night staple. It's one of the only options open Until 3. They have a limited menu after midnight but their coneys are delicious and only $3. A little gem in OTR.

I work in OTR and I am always trying to find a place for lunch that has good food and is not terribly expensive. In one of these hunts for lunch places, I saw this place on Main Street and decided to try it out. It is very cute inside. Small and intimate. I am generally not a fan of hot dogs, so I was worried that the menu was just going to be versions of hot dogs. I'm glad it wasn't. It's not a large menu, which is always great for when I am being indecisive. However, they do have sandwiches, double deckers, coneys, and any of these can be customizable, which was cool. They also have a lunch special where you can get a double decker, chips, and a drink for $9. This is a phenomenal lunch deal, especially in OTR. I don't remember what kind of double decker I got, but it definitely filled me up. My only complaint - this is such a personal preference for me and sandwiches - is that I wish they had avocados to add. Another thing that made me like them a lot was the fact that they have milkshakes!! You can only carry out since they don't have space to dine in, but the meal and milkshake was an excellent lunch to enjoy out in Washington Park. I also heard they are sometimes open late night for party folks on Main. I tend to avoid the night scene on that street specifically, but I can only imagine how good it must be to eat after some debauchery.

good prices for yummy food and very nice customer service just a small bench inside, not really anywhere you can sit down to eat tho:/

The service was great but the food was horrible. My fries tasted like they were out yesterday and just heated up and I ordered two Coney dogs and only received one. I ordered inside for anyone thinking I got it delivered.

I only ever get the lucky seven club and cheese coneys because they're so good I can't divert. The sandwich is beyond your typical BLT with a choice of two extra meats and an extra slice of toast in between. The coneys are comparable to skylines and when skyline is closed Lucky Dog OTR has your back.

The original Lucky Dog nice but when you get the Mett it's a different ball game. Besides that very tasteful recommend to spicy lovers

I really enjoyed myself here. My friend and I went to an event in Hamilton then took an Uber to The…read moreDavidson. We had reservations and ended up there a bit early and they had no issue with it and took us to a table. Even the fact that we added two extra people to our party did not faze them. We were seated quickly and with a smile. Our waitress came out pretty quickly and explained the eggplant dish to my friend who asked about it. We brought another couple with us so 4 of us dined for dinner on Saturday night. I ordered a cosmo to start and a Seared Yellowfin Nicoise Salad. For my main I ordered the Bread & 3 Butters along with the Cannelloni. The salad was super fresh and an excellent way to start my meal and the whole grain Dijon mustard vinaigrette definitely hit the spot, I ate every bite. Next up a big helping of fresh made pasta! The Roasted Tomato Cannelloni was a rich dish and I absolutely LOVED it. Roasted garlic tomato sauce and not in an overpowering way along with Swiss chard and ricotta filled cannelloni tubes. Again I ate every single bite of this dish with part of my bread and it was a lot to eat for me. Would definitely order this again. I also tried a bit of my friend's eggplant even though I am not a fan of eggplant and it wasn't too bad, she loved it. Can't speak to how easy it is to park there as we came in an Uber but I am sure that nearby there is parking lots if you cannot find street parking. I did not partake in dessert this time as nothing on the menu appealed to me but maybe next time we come as I want to try a couple other menu items. Do not hesitate to go as it is straight up good food and great service.

Appetizer of tomatoes and mozzarella was tasty. Wife's burger was ok but nothing great. I ordered Rigatoni with Vodka sauce. It had been sitting around for a while during the time they were redoing the hamburger. It was dry and not very favorable. It was supposed to have Italian sausage in it but there was hardly any. Portion was pretty small also. When we came in, we had reservations. They put us next to the kitchen. The place was empty so we asked to be put near the windows. They did it but we obviously really upset the hostess which made for an uncomfortable start. Maybe she didn't want to sit us near the windows because it was plagued with flies from hell. I won't recommend and I won't go back. $150 for a burger and dried pasta and some drinks that upset my wife's stomach.

We've been to the Kenwood and Liberty Township locations and the consistent nature of their excellence is impressive.

I also LOVE the setup here. You pay first, get your food second, and everything just seems to run smoothly. No unnecessary waiting around trying to figure out what's going on. My wife and I usually rotate between the pancakes, the hash, the Northstar Burger, or the potato hash. Honestly, you really can't go wrong with any of them. The food is always fresh, portions are good, and everything comes out looking like somebody actually cared about what they put on the plate. We probably go once or twice a week, especially for brunch. At this point, Northstar is basically family. And if you're like us and pretty picky about where you eat, this is definitely one that gets the stamp of approval. Great food, good atmosphere, and consistently solid service. One more thing: I believe they play jazz after 6 PM Monday through Friday, which is always a nice little bonus. Overall, definitely recommend if you're looking for good food with a nice ambiance. Northstar has a permanent spot in our rotation!

I did the build your own salad with Iceberg Romaine, Herb Pulled Chicken, Ghost Pepper Jack Cheese, Banana Peppers, Broccoli, Carrots, Edamame, Croutons and Avocado Ranch dressing. It was one of the best salads I ever had.

This Green District location seems hellbent on vaporizing the term "fast casual" from the American…read morelexicon. Because "fast" is an unknown word at this place. The good first, though: Whatever the flaws in its business model, Green District still turns out well-conceptualized salads that always seem fresh and tasty. The Hide & Go Greek is a very nice chicken one with a robust, terrific dressing. The Thai One On salad is (you guessed it) an Asian-influenced one with shrimp, lots of cabbage and cilantro, and a kind of generic but fresh-tasting Asian-style ginger-heavy dressing. Also very good. Fortunate thing you can order online and don't have to verbalize those unwieldy salad names to a fellow human. (But if you think those names are bad, another one wants you to hold its beer: the Tequila Mockingbird.). Anyway, the food gets this to three stars, but only barely. Alas, the service at this location is a shambles. Count on at least a 35-minute wait, even if you order right after 11am, when things presumably ought not to be backed up. And it looks like chaos back there--just not enough employees back there, most likely. Last time it took this restaurant an incomprehensible 50 minutes to get my salad out. (Who with a regular lunch "hour" downtown has time for this?) Credit to the unflappable and put-upon young fella at the end of the line; he kept doing his job steadily and kept cheerful about it. The manager is always madly rushing about and isn't nearly as cheery (but it almost certainly isn't her fault, either). It astonishing that the food can be is good as it is in this environment. There's something very wrong about this restaurant's business model when the family-run lunch spot down the street (seemingly just as many orders) can crank out your to-go salad (as good as here, for the most part) in three to five minutes and be as friendly as they can be about it. Whoever came up with the plan has some major issues to resolve.
