My husband and I were running errands recently and both decided that chicken livers sounded really good. They aren't something you see on the menu often and for that, I'm happy Lucky Wishbone exists. We've never been to this location but we were in the area, so we stopped. I can't say enough good things about the staff. They were very friendly and helpful. Our food was cooked fresh and they even walked it out to our table instead of just yelling out name. It's sincerely this kind of courtesy I really appreciate. The food was also cooked to perfection and we enjoyed our rare, fried treat. read more

The food here is decent, but I can't really tell from the food now because I haven't had it before because I haven't had it in like the last three years but when I had it, it was really good and I hope the standards are still now the food itself had pretty good presentation and it came pretty fast. Please do try. read more

Love the gizzards at this location. The French fries portion has gotten so small! Even the toast is smaller. Price went up. read more

Lucky Wishbone - Great gizzards but the fries are shrinking! It used to be Texas toast but that also shrunk. The price went up. - Burgers Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Ordered the sampler (shrimp, chicken & steak). It tasted fine but kind of gross to see that the shrimp hadn't been cleaned. read more

I did not like the food and not going back. I had high hopes but I was disappointed by how greasy and tasteless the food was. There was no love in making this food. The concept sounds good to use chicken organs and fry them up but I think more work needs done here before you get this concept right. The service and ambiance was just like any small fast food place. read more

I got the 8 piece wing honey hot and let me tell you they were amazing, best honey hot wings I've had here in Arizona by far and the price is totally reasonable. The size of the wings was perfect. Nothing like some place where I go and there little to no meat. For sure will be eating here again. The fries were just as good! All around a great meal and great price read more

I ate here yesterday afternoon. I had the Mom Fried Chicken (all dark meat), which came with 3 pieces of chicken, fries and garlic toast ($9.35). The toast wasn't very garlicky. The fries were OK with ketchup but overcooked. The chicken was tasty but also greasy. Service was fine. The ambiance and decor are purely functional. I ate in, but I think mostly it's a takeout place. read more

I went to the Oracle/Roger location. I was promptly greeted and given time to decide order. I ordered the double burger and onion rings. The kitchen was clean, staff professional, and the food was made carefully and correctly. I watched the whole process. The burger was delicious and the onion rings out-of-this-world good! Thanks for a great experience in the fast food world! read more

Good service and nice customer care. The food, unfortunately, is totally unacceptable. My husband likes their shrimp basket (it's OK) so I try to oblige occasionally. I had the steak strip bites and fries. The fries are greasy, limp and inedible. Literally, I couldn't eat them. If I had my way, I'd never return. But, I'll suck it up occasionally for the Manfolk. read more

This is some of the best fried chicken I've had. I drive from Phoenix down here just to eat this. This place is always busy but they keep up with all the orders. There aren't very many tables at this location to eat in. read more

Great fried chicken. The place to go for not only fried chicken but also shrimp and steak. All and all an affordable place.

I ordered mom's chicken fingers with an ice tea, $15.50 chicken was all breading. NOT a bargain for a couple of oz of chicken, not going back for a while, better deals for lunch at PopEyes. read more

Great chicken I've ever had eaten and recommend this to anyone who loves chicken And family friendly read more

Tucson local fried food joint. They are celebrating their 65th anniversary. Very old fashioned American fried foods. They offer fried steak fingers, chicken fingers, fried shrimp, fried fish, fried gizzards, fried liver, fried chicken, burgers (beef, chicken or fish). Some locations have wings. Fried chicken is really good. Food service a really good. Fast and friendly. You can call or order online for pick up. It's a place where you can eat in but most ppl order and take out. They're very personable and will call by your name. It's just an old fashioned place that is hanging on to old traditions. It's nice to support local old places. read more

This location has the best customer service ever! We usually go to the location on the southside, but we happen to stop at this one and so happy we did! Renee, the new manager takes such pride in the store, and she's got the greatest smile and the warmest welcome! The ladies made the food to perfection, and we had the best time. She was so friendly and offered us the best conversation. Finding good food is easy these days, finding excellent customer service is rare. We really enjoyed our visit and look forward to coming back! read more

This takeout spot has been a Tucson institution for years and rightly so. They know how to fry and that includes keeping the oil fresh and the smell acceptable. We had the shrimp, steak fingers, chicken giblets, and onion rings. All came with a mild all-purpose cocktail sauce. While I couldn't tell you what animal those fingers came from, they weren't bad. Everything else was really good. Have to go back for fried chicken, Cole slaw and more of those crispy onion rings. While there are a couple of small metal tables at which at least one group was eating, this is take-out food and deserves to go to the park or backyard for a picnic. We took it home, but weather permitting, next time it's outdoors with a thigh in one hand and a cold one in the other. read more

LWB has had the best chicken since I was in high school in the 60s. Recently, I have ordered out 2x as a guilty pleasure and it is not the same. What happened? Did they change hands? The classic food is now. dry and poorly seasoned . Hopefully , they will read this review and go back to their old cooking methods and ingredients. read more

All I can say is this is good old, unhealthy, deep fried food.....a I love it. Don't come here looking for healthy or not greasy. My father remembers them when they first opened and he still goes here, that says something!!!. Went here for lunch and it is all I remember and more. The cocktail sauce is amazing!! I try to to come a lot cause as I say it is super unhealthy...but sometimes I can not resist! Def give them a shot if you have not already!!! read more

Lucky Wishbone - Burgers Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Lucky Wishbone has been a long time family favorite but we had never tried the Oracle location which has very limited seating-only 3 small tables and some chairs). I was always a fan of the chicken sandwich on garlic bread and though it isn't listed as an option, you can still get it (or a hamburger) when you request garlic bread. I had grilled chicken this time on garlic toast and it was tasty. The chicken was cooked nicely and the sauce gave it a nice flavor. The rest of the family enjoyed the meals they remembered. It's a place you go for the sake of fond memories but not necessarily to seek out. The ladies working there were very pleasant and helpful. It was work a visit for nostalgia but am not in any rush to got back. read more

We are from Tucson Came down from Mesa az For some Lucky Wishbone. Was one of my favorites. The staff was not people people. You sell finger food No dining in eat in your car And no napkins. And no restroom. Two hour drive ? read more

I stopped by here the other day for the first time ever because I've heard great things about their chicken. When I arrived I order the Mom 4 piece chicken fingers which came with 1 piece of garlic toast, large fries, and 1 Lucky's sauce. The sauce was really good, more like a cocktail taste, the chicken was very good as well. The prices are fairly good here so its definitely an affordable place for all. read more

What happened Tucson? This chain 20+ yrs ago was pretty decent for a quick meal. Sadly, Worst. Fried. Chicken. Ever 3 piece meal, chicken wing (baby chick or pigeon?) dripping in grease, chicken leg broken in 3 places; was it road kill? And the breast, while tasty was drowning in salt. Fries were greasy/salty and inedible. I was going to order gizzards but good God, $7 bucks for 7 of them when they should be around 25 cents each? Either the citizens of Tootsun don't know fried chicken or they have given up and accept mediocre cooking. First time since moving back to the old Pueblo and also my last. read more

This is our first time eating here. We won a gift certificate at a raffle so we decided to try it. The Oracle location is very, very clean. tracy was very helpful with our selection. She also threw in a sample of the shrimp and steak fingers. All the food was very good, the customer service was outstanding not just with us but with all the customers we watched and definitely the cleanest place we have been to in a long time. We will return. read more

I've been there twice since my 5 star review in April. Second time was not as good as the fried chicken dark meat pieces were smaller. And yesterday smaller still! read more

Just not the same food I remember- greasy and filling, but not fulfilling. I used to really enjoy the Mom and my husband would get the Pop. Last time I was here, the only good thing was the coleslaw. Service has also gone downhill of late, not as friendly, not as fast. There's not much space to eat and both tables were dirty and we had to wait for the wait staff to come and clean. The chairs were also sticky. I will try other lucky wishbones in town, because something fishy is going on here and it's not a sandwich. read more

I'm sitting here at the store watching a team of your employees listen to the phone ring. Customers are coming in one after the other saying they thought they were closed. I'm told there's a 20 minute wait when it could've been in and out of they had just answered the phone. Now there's a lobby full of us because we all have to wait. read more

Lucky Wishbone is a Tucson landmark. Like Pat's, Eegees, and Mama's Pizza, Lucky Wishbone is a place you have to experience at least once. Chicken Fingers, Garlic Toast, and their shrimp sauce. There is nothing else quite like it. The only thing that's changed since I was born is their prices. I've got nothing else here. It is outstanding. Go try it. read more

What is wrong with this place. Have loved Lucky Wishbone for years but lately they are just not good. Today was the last time we are getting food from there. Prices have gone up and serving size has gone down. Would not mind so much if they could get an order right. Today we ordered mom chicken fingers and steak fingers plus an extra sauce. My husband gets home with our food with only 2 sauces when he paid for an extra one. Last time he ordered the steak fingers and he got shrimp instead. Another time no sauce at all, no bread and on and on it goes. Sorry but no more. read more

Lucky Wishbone is a Tucson Classic! In case you are new: Fried food, nothing light served here. I am a huge fan of the horse-radish red dipping sauce, tangy and spicy in contrast to the crunchy fried meats. If you live in Tucson, you have to go at least once. Go to the gym tomorrow! read more

I've been to several Lucky Wishbone locations and haven't had issues. This one was an exception. When the employee was filling my soda, the filter fell in the cup. Another employee then reached in the cup with her bare hands and pulled it out. Then they tried to serve me the soda they just stuck their hands in! I requested a new drink and left. When I got home I realized they forgot my fries. I called the store and explained what happened. Then the employed hung up on me!! Will not ever go back! read more

Greasy food. Decently good. Chicken was a little dry, steak fingers were great, Shrimp were good and fries were nothing special just fries.... oh and the bread, well we were so stuffed we didn't really get a chance to try it. Average Fried food is how I would rate this place. When my husband called in the order in advance the guy had no customer service and was treating him as if it was a bother to answer the phone to take an order. We get if you guys were busy in the moment, but we are brand new customers and this was our first time ever eating at Lucky Wishbone. That left a sour taste in our mouth before we even got to try the food. So as my husband said, "Not excellent, and I don't particularly look forward to going back. It was slightly better than average." read more

I'm a huge fan of Lucky Wishbone. The location on Campbell Avenue is, fortunately? unfortunately? far superior to this location. However, let me first sing the praises of Lucky Wishbone. This place has everything fried you could possibly want: chicken, fish, steak fingers, chicken fingers, shrimp. And the garlic toast-- there's nothing like it in all the world. Add on their Lucky Wishbone dipping sauce (is it cocktail sauce? what's in that mystery condiment?) and I'm in absolute heaven. Their fries are the best I've ever had-- ever-- they're crunchy, salty, perfect. The negatives for this location are no deal breaker, but I'd definitely prefer Campbell Ave.: 1) no cool ambiance. This place is in a strip mall. No outside tables either. 2) service falls short. Ridiculously long waits for fried food, only one cook on the line? 3) missing items from orders. Several orders ended up missing their drink or some other item. Mine, thankfully, was correct. Although I had to wait 20 minutes to get my hands on a Jr. Shrimp (3 pcs with fries, garlic toast, and dipping sauce for under $5) and a black cherry drink (YES!), it was well worth it. I'm literally salivating cross-country, missing my Lucky Wishbone. read more

Haven't been to a Lucky Wishbone since the 1970s! Forgot how good it is. Fried chicken thighs and Ccole slaw were delicious. I shall return. read more

This is a Tucson staple. It's simple, yet pretty tasty. I will say that this place is the cleanest Lucky Wishbone I have ever been to. Even better, the kids in the back were scrubbing if they didn't have anything else to do. There are a few seats here and there, but because it is a little place, order carry out. The food is good, and hits the spot on a hot day. The steak fingers are good and really tender, and the onion rings are better. Their coleslaw is also pretty good. If you're hungry for good food at a reasonable price (where else can you feed four people for $26), drop in. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great food!! The food servings are big!! Not a long wait. Not the friendliest employees.

A legacy in Tucson! I can recall loving this place since I was a child and have always considered it a treat! The steak fingers are wonderful no one make sauce like them. Just be ready for a no calorie count day read more

I have been a Lucky Wishbone person since the mid-fifties. I ordered a family feast of chicken , I was at the store on Oracle and Rodger. I paid $27 for a family feast of chicken and I swear the chicken was not much bigger than a quail. I loved Lucky Wishbone oh, I only hope it's only this location that has changed so much! read more

As always great food and great service. Black cherry drink makes the meal. Better than most fast food places. Great service very fast. read more

Had been having a craving for Lucky Wishbone for a while and today it was fulfilled. Called my order in and it was ready in 15. Definitely my go to way of ordering now. The food was hot and ready as soon as i got there. Only thing id say is the coleslaw needed more flavor. Overall a good meal. read more
