    Chicken Fried Steak
    Norm W.

    First time at this Lucky Lou location. Service was great. Large menu selection. It's a bit smaller than the other 2 locations on Power Road and also Queen Creek. I ordered the ribeye steak with sides of pasta salad and potato salad. Baked potato was not on menu. Friends had cheese burger with onion rings and chicken fried steak with beans and mashed potato. Dinner roll was not on menu so we ordered sour dough toast. Food was excellent. Overall a very good dining experience.

    Came here for lunch because one of contractor I know said they have amazing shrimp bucket (well the one at Power and McDowell) figure same restaurant but they didn't have shrimp basket. Menu had pretty good selections but I noticed some of the dishes had extra add on cost. Ordered wings since I was craving wings. So if I want grilled that cost extra, if I want just one kind of wing that is extra. So i ordered 14 pieces and asked if I could do half and half on the wing sauce. Nope.. I can get em plain and get two different sauce. So then I decided to get the wings with Nashville hot and side of mango habanero. My friend ordered standard lunch cheese burger. Food came and my wings looked and tasted pretty good. Nashville hot was not hot but it was pretty good. Mango habanero was sweet but did not have any heat. Fries were nice and crispy. Burger on the other hand was very plain Jane nothing special burger. When the check came waistess let me know they initially charged me for mango habanero but she took it off the bill, that was nice of her. Server was nice and very attentive. Over all food was ok, nothing special. Maybe they have good deals on happy hour food or something but then I don't really drink so I guess I won't be returning.

    IM BAAACK!!! Returning to Lucky Lou's for the blackened chicken sandwich. Soooo good, of course I got a cup of chilli to go with the sandwich. Best cup of chilli in town. The sandwich was delicious and not too blackened. I'm definitely going to try the whole menu.

    we stopped in to this location last night for the first time and it did not disappoint! this location has some seating inside as well as a patio outside. we decided to sit up at the bar. the service was amazing! shoutout to our server drew, he was so friendly and kind. and the rest of the staff were super great as well! as for the food - SO good!! i love the variety of items they offer here; it was hard to choose what to get! we ended up getting the pierogies (which were so delicious some of the best piergoies i've had.) and then for our entree, we got the high roller burger (bbq sauce, cheese, onion rings) and that was amazing! super tasty!! we are absolutely coming back! i would highly recommend if you haven't been before! such a cute diner concept with amazing food and great service! thank you lucky lou's!

    First time here & we decided to since our usual haunt is Nando's, which we found out is closed Mondays, so Kristy suggested this since she & her husband love it. I'm glad we came. Very good service, big portions of food (I ended up taking the rest of mine home), perfect ambiance even with sports on the tvs, & our waitress was super cool! Kristy got a burger & sweet potato fries, while I got the Ralo's Mac & Cheese & Kristy took home an order of that for Jon! Very good choices! She also had a lemonade & I had Coke Zero. Can't do lemonade because of citrus allergies. I will return because this place is awesome with a downhome vibe.

    Pierogies are delicious. The waitress was friendly and attentive. The restaurant smelled so good. I had a one time craving for a hamburger but I wanted something small so I asked for the hamburger off the kid's menu. I was told NO because they enforced the age limit. It's a disappointment when I go to a restaurant I am told NO. I would recommend they sell a petite hamburger then for people that just want a little bit. They sell Coke products.

    Buffalo chicken salad
    Nick C.

    I've been to other Lucky Lou's locations and this one didn't disappoint either. I went with my favorite the buffalo chicken salad. Probably not healthy at all because it tastes so good, but I convince myself otherwise because it's a salad. Also we shared some mozzarella sticks because those are also always really good. This is another great Lou's location with friendly service, fun atmosphere and delicious food.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the good food, good service and cleanliness of this place. It was my first time and won't be my last. Lou's is a modern but classic diner the retro menu brings back fond memories of diners past I had the shaved prime rib sandwich with side of fries. The bread fresh , the sandwich piping hot and the fries to die for. The service was perfect with all the servers making sure we were happy with our meal and our beverages full. We felt very welcome and pleased

    Chicken sandwich

    I've been to several of the Lucky Lou's grills and was excited to try this place. Great location in Dana Park with an outdoor patio that's covered and dog friendly. Service was great and our server was friendly. The food is just as good as the other Lucky Lou's locations. Great option for homestyle American food.

    Fish Fry
    Sandy C.

    This building used to be an old CPK restaurant. It gives the vibe of a diner. The menu is large and "diner-ish." salads, sandwiches, burgers, pasta entrees, milk shakes & sweets. Three of us dined here. The server was very friendly & when asked, she told us her favorites. Steak on a stick: nicely flavored, but a bit dry. No sauce, so I dipped in ketchup. Not the best. Fries were nice and crisp. Meat Loaf: No flavor, bland. Large chunks. Came with a brown gravy. Onion rings were very crispy. Fish fry: Fish was lightly breaded. Fish didn't have a lot of flavor. Out of the three of us, two of us will give the restaurant another chance.

    Nashville Chicken Sandwich
    Shannon L.

    We've been here twice now and have had a wonderful experience both times. Lucky Lou's has an old diner feel with a just a slightly elevated style of diner food. I've had both the California Chicken wrap and the Nashville Chicken sandwich. The Nashville Chicken, while delicious, is not a hot chicken sandwich...so don't order if you're expecting that, the flavor is wonderful though. All waiters are attentive, and service is quick...even on a busy Friday night!

    I have always loved the atmosphere and decor here. We are now regulars here and they have reached…read morethat stage of knowing our names, our habits, and most importantly, how to take care of their regulars. If you establish a presence here, they will take care of you. Consistency is another major selling point. Go here 10 times, and your food is going to be on point about 9.5 of those times. Those are pretty good odds. They have just recently started a soft launch of their fall/winter menu, which means they are experimenting with a few new dishes while bringing back some old favorites. One of those returning favorites is the crispy cauliflower. Last time around, it was fantastic. This time, while still tasty, it had apparently filed a formal complaint against the word "crispy" because there was very little evidence to support the claim. Even the bartender agreed with me that it was somewhat misrepresented. Tip: Get the sauce on the side. It will help preserve what level of crisp that is intended for this dish. Now, let us move on to the star of the evening. The new chicken parmigiana! Holy mother of God. Butter my butt and call me a biscuit. This may genuinely be one of the most beautiful, perfectly textured, and downright delicious chicken parmigianas I have ever had. The chicken was crisped to absolute perfection, and the way they layered the marinara on top was brilliant. Rather than drowning the chicken in a traditional, liquidy sauce, they used more of a bruschetta-style topping, which gave it texture while somehow allowing the breading to remain gloriously crispy. Hands down, one of the best chicken parmigianas I have ever had. Now we just need to pray to whatever culinary deity is responsible for consistency that they can replicate this thing every time, because this one was ridiculously good. One final recommendation: split the dish.Unless you are the kind of person who considers a family-size portion a light snack, there is plenty of food here for two.

But, my wife had fries that I could steal and I appreciate having a salad option. The little side salad had a nice bitterness complemented by the slight sourness of the dressing. The meat was flavorful and sliced perfectly while the bread was toasty enough to stay together long enough to hold in all that juiciness. Our server was attentive and friendly and I'll happily go back to try some menu staples ... unless the next special demands my attention like that Reuben did.

The guy at the register was super helpful, and gave us have half menus which have more items than the menu board. I was so shocked at the life prices here--definitely a great deal. I ordered the Taco plate, which comes with three street tacos, rice and beans for only $7.99. you can add a soda for $1. So affordable! My son got a Cali Burrito, and it was as big as my forearm.

This time it was lunch, so it was nice and bright. The service was wonderful!! I did not catch their names, but the the gentleman and lady who served us were very helpful. We ordered 3 of the Steamed Buns: Pork Belly, Hot Chicken, and the Bun of the Moment, which happened to be Drunken Shrimp, I believe. I didn't taste the Hot Chicken, but the other two were super tasty!! Portions were great and every morsel was devoured. The Krazy Fries were damn delicious!! Packed full of flavor and very filling, it's a great dish to be shared. I can't pass up pork belly!! Lol I forgot what drink my friend ordered, but I had no shame and had the Pornstar Martini, yessir!!! It was quite comical when our server mentioned that most people are embarrassed to order it because of its name, but I proudly said it loud and clear! That drink was perfect for brunch/lunch! Overall it was a great visit, minus the twitching fly that was on our table after we were seated. We didn't know if it was half dead or what, but my friend just swiped it across the table until it fell off. I'm not sure they have any control over flies coming into the restaurant as people enter and exit, but it was off putting to have to shoo them away while you're having a meal and trying to converse. Other than that fly issue, the visit was solid. Prices aren't bad and there's a big parking lot outside the establishment as well as a public parking garage not far away. I highly recommend Clever Koi if you've never been!
