Definitely some of the best fried chicken in Tucson and double cheeseburgers, however get it with the garlic toast instead of bun and it really sets it off! Fast service and great prices. read more

Lucky Wishbone - Fast Food Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Fan of this local chain. Returning from Nogales to Tucson airport if was not too far out of the way. Picked up a 7 piece dark meat special and a gizzard meal. The French fries are really good. I ate half the order at the hotel and the other half 12 hours later after arriving in LA. Good both times. No middle of the night cotton mouth from too much salt...YEAH. Please note they fry to order and don't have prepared chicken under a heat lamp, so the wait is 10-15 minutes. If speed is an issue, download the app and order ahead and you will have fresh, hot juicy crunchy chicken when you arrive. It's mostly a take out place. It's a bit on the spartan side to dine on premises. read more

Have been going to this location since I was a kid. I don't remember much from when I was younger other than the prices going up lol But the food has always been good. Fresh & made in time. Service has always been good as well. Thank you read more

They changed their fires back!! This place always been great. If you don't like fried chicken try the steak fingers and shrimp combos. Won't regret read more

Spent over 40$ on a family feast and ordered an extra potato salad, potato salad had a long hair in it and the coleslaw was frozen! Absolutely terrible called the location (Nogales highway) and told them and they didn't care all they said was "oh sorry about that" read more

Chicken hard to chew and actually burned in many places--husband said gave some to the poor puppy because she can chew it but she did not look happy with the burned taste Lyssa's picture from the review a couple below mine is kinda close he says. read more

Really good food, great service and clean inside out. One of the employees recommended the wildfries and they are delicious read more

A Tucson tradition. The chicken and steak fingers have a unique taste like no other. Not sure what they use for sauce but it is a great combination of sweet, sour, and spicy read more

Lucky Wishbone has some of the best fried chicken in town, period. This is a third location that I have patronized and all three are consistent in quality and service. I had the three piece, "Mom" meal of chicken. It is amazing to me how their chicken breast is so flavorful and moist. That is independent of the battered skin. The battered skin is marvelous. Perfectly seasoned, not too salty, and perfectly, lightly crispy. Perfectly. I enjoy Church's, love Popeye's, think KFC (when the particular franchise has its act together) is delicious, the groceries Fry's and Albertsons has respectable and good chicken. Lucky Wishbone, though...Yum! The fries it comes with is another story. They are so-so. They are really good when you get them fresh, similar crispiness to them as their chicken. But otherwise, they are crispy on the outside, yet limp and soggy. Hence the one-star deduction. It also comes with a thick piece of garlic toast, which is alright. I'm too busy enjoying my chicken, though, to notice. 5* = A top favorite. Mind-blowing good. I will definitely return and I will go out of my way to go here. Worth every dime of my money. 4* = Outstanding. Tucson-top-tier. Some elements not quite as good as it gets, but it still is worthy of my regular business. 3* = Good experience. I might do repeat business if it is convenient, the only option, the only one in its category, or on a whim, but would not be among the first thing to come to mind. Would definitely recommend you trying it to get your own take on it. 2* = Not so good. Would not recommend at all. Waste of money. 1* = How are they still in business? Stay away at all costs! read more

I don't think you will get a better fried shrimp or steak than here. A Tucson staple, everyone has to try it once. Their signature sauce is kinda like a horseradishy ketchup or cocktail sauce. read more

Lucky Wishbone - a box of fries and a sandwich - Fast Food Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The cook has a huge attitude problem. When the cashier ask her a question she starts getting piss and throwing shit. The food is good but if it wasn't for that lady in the back then it would have been perfect July 31 7:01pm read more

Great chicken better than Kentucky fried chicken and I know I am from Kentucky. The only chicken better was my mom's and my Grandmother's.

I showed up to the restaurant. And they have new hours due to covid-19. Their new hours are till 8 PM. Mind you they did not answer the phone 30 minutes prior so I drove over there. I show up and start walking to the door right at 8 p.m. and the young girl see me comes from behind the counter and locks the door. I asked can I make my order. Mind you I just work 13 hours all I was trying to do is get a box of food for me and my kids for dinner. she told me know it 8 but they saw me coming to the door before they locked it and they will not take my order I am sadly disappointed and I will never come back to Lucky Wishbone again because of that. And all I wanted a box of liver. And i told her that she said no im not take the order. That would have took them five minutes to make. They would have made a customer happy and made my family happy. But they chose to be selfish and not want to take my order. And lock the door in front of me while I'm walking up. That is by far the rudest worst customer service I've ever had with any restaurant read more

Deep fried alright alright alright! much more than generic fast food, Yelp needs to get with the program! garlic toast, French fries, grilled cheese, coleslaw, jalapeno poppers, butterfly shrimp, steak fingers, chicken fingers, gizzards... read more

The customer service was terrible, they messed up the to go order. I brought it back and after being accused of eating "some of the meal" that was not eaten I paid the difference and waited to be the last one served! Food was fine, as it always is just will not visit this location again. Wishbone diner! read more

Dirty. I don't know if it's this location, but it is not a pleasant place to go to get food. Smelly, food left on the walls, dirt in the corners, if you go to the bathroom you will come out dirtier than you went it (think, employees use that bathroom too). Has anyone that works there ever seen a mop or rag? If you plan on coming to eat, you will probably be outside. There are only 2 dilapidated booths inside. And no, they don't clean up outside any better. Going in to a fried chicken place, you know the food is not going to be good for you. But it at least should be good. We had some wings, chicken, and livers. Everything is very heavily coated, so you are getting about 50% batter, 50% other stuff. Wings: medium size, not very meaty, the coating (if any) was thin, but they were way over cooked and dry. The "garlic parm" sauce was strange. Some sort of fake butter and corn starch to thicken it. Not bad, but odd, and not good. Chicken: over cooked, dry and just way too much coating. Very mediocre. Livers: the liver part was not bad, but again it was at least 50% breading. And the sauce they include is their version of cocktail sauce. It's ok. Nothing special. I think Luck Wishbone gets a pass because it's a local business and no one want to be critical. There are so many better places to get your fried chicken (does the guy eating spinach ring a bell). read more

I want to know what happened to this place. A year ago I would have given it 5 stars but now I can't. The biggest difference is their chicken breasts. I bought 5 breasts last week to feed the family and there was virtually no meat on them. It's almost as if they cut the center out and there's only a little meat on both edges and a whole lot of breaded bone. It was ridiculous! Of course like an idiot I thought it was a fluke and bought another breast this week. Same thing. The other pieces are the usual size and quite tasty. I don't know what's going on but I would advise you not to buy the breasts even if you're a fan of white meat. They're the most expensive piece of chicken and not worth it at all. Otherwise the service is ok and when you call ahead it's ready for pickup about 75% of the time. read more

What makes the shrimp and fries and anything else really work here is their cocktail sauce. It has the perfect amount of horseradish, but not enough to overwhelm. The shrimps are nice and big, all a standard large butterflied size. The sauce though, is where its at. read more

I can't believe I have not reviewed this place. I order and pick up from LW about twice a month only. If I had no self control and didn't care about my health, I would probably eat it twice a week, but that would be a problem. I like their menu descriptions for sizes - "jr." for small, "mom" is a medium size order of food, and a "pop" for big appetites. I have had the chicken, chicken fingers, steak fingers, and shrimp and all are the best fried food anywhere! I usually order a mom chicken finger and shrimp combo - they will gladly split orders in half if you don't just want all of one thing. The mom fills me up well and I'm 190 lbs, but I can eat a pop if need be ;-). Their fried shrimp is sheer perfection and they have a great cocktail sauce. The breading on the chicken and steak fingers is light, tasty and slightly crunchy. The sides like garlic bread and fries are also delicious and up the grease intake considerably. I think they have the best fries in town next to Eegees. The cole-slaw is really good too. There's a reason they have been around so long! Love LW days. One more thing; if you buy one of their t-shirts and wear it in there they give you a free soda. read more

A Tucson original! These guys have been in business for a very long time and they have really good fried chicken, fried chicken strips, fried steak strips and fried shrimp. All of the food is really good! Just kinda pricey or would give 5 stars. read more

Visiting Tucson with my wife. We decided to eat some chicken wings and found this spot. Customer service was great but chicken wings were not. They tasted old and were very small with barely any meat on it. We paid $12.00 for 12 old and frozen chicken wings. We only ate 2 and the rest went in the garbage. We took a picture of the 2oz blue cheese sauce next to one of the larger wings. Shame on you for serving mini wings and charging $1 per wing. read more

Lucky Wishbone - a plate of food with sauce on it - Fast Food Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

My husband has always raved about this place. I finally got a chance to try them. We ordered the family meal that contained 6 shrimp, 6 chicken strips, and 6 steak fingers w/fries, slaw, and garlic bread. We took this back to our hotel room, and munched on it all evening. (after stopping and picking up beer) Everything was tasty. read more

The only thing wrong with it is that the place takes a while to make food for a fast food place, but it is still a 4 out of 5 stars, I recommend eating the wings alone and if you want the fries too. The bread is very buttery and soft, not bad. The wings might be small, but they are worth it, the wings are sweet and spicy, I don't know about you, but it's just right for me. If you want some crispy, tender chicken. This is the place to go, and the shrimp is pretty good too. I like the chicken personally, and the bread and fries are great. The bread was soft, the chicken was crispy and flavorful, the fries were crunchy and tasty. An overall good fast food place, I give a 4/5 stars. read more

The wife was knee deep in homework, but had a hankerin' for some deep fried goodnes. Our family of four ordered the chicken and steak finger family feast with an extra bag of garlic bread. The service was friendly as usual, and we were not kept waiting long. Lucky Wishbone should be a local staple for all, and a treat for out of towners. read more

Lucky Wishbone - Hard working and finger lickin' good! - Fast Food Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Average food at average prices. Chicken parts are small but tasty. They provide an over abundance of French fries. We have eaten at the Wishbone on Nogales Highway and had takeout. The fries could be crispier unless you like limp French fries. read more

Always good food for the prices, I call in my order and it is always ready when I drive up, friendly staff and fast service.

This is a heart attack in a box, which usually means great tasting food. It does here. Fried chicken, Shrimp. Gizzards, Chicken Livers, Fish "and steak fingers too," as the commercial jingle goes. ( A jingle you'll never get out of your head once when you hear it.) All succulent and flavorful. We love the fries, slaw and garlic toast too. EVERTHING is a joy to eat, even if you have to pay later. The original family recipes from 1953 are still l followed. This location is their first location in Tucson. #1, but there are now 8 locations in Tucson. This place is #1 indeed. read more

This was our go to for fried chicken and shrimp since we found it. It's not healthy by any means (it's fried stuff mostly, go somewhere else if you're looking for healthy stuff), but it's great! My only complaint is that I can't have this anymore as I live in Utah. My arteries thank me; my soul does not. read more

Had the pop chicken fingers and steak fingers half and half they were excellent. Fries were not so good today but normally they are. Wish they would offer military discount read more
