We ordered to go and our food was made in the quoted time frame. Plenty of seating inside. Workers were friendly and that is always appreciated. We ordered steak fingers, chicken fingers, wings and a chicken sandwich. I can say the fries were crispy but maybe even a little too crispy. The food boxes felt warm but our food wasn't very hot. read more

Trash the chicken sandwich is trash, dry as burnt. I don't recommended the fact that you burn a chicken sandwich is crazy read more

We have driven by one of the Lucky Wishbone locations for years since moving here in 2005 but never gone in... until today! I love chicken fingers, so why not. It appeared they had redone the interior, it was nice and clean and had a Tucson OG vibe to it. I ordered a 2 piece chicken finger meal and my hubby did the 6 piece shrimp. I loved the little box they serve the meals in. Fries were okay, chicken fingers were good and the Texas toast was decent. My husband said he liked the chicken fingers better than the shrimp (he was grazing on my box) Bottom line, it is fried food so do not come here if you are seeking healthy. Staff was very friendly and nice. Location is near a bus stop - I call that out as there were a few homeless doing the drug dance which was annoying given the big windows/views here. read more

I'm in Tucson, Arizona at Lucky wishbone they've been around for decades. I haven't eaten here in a few years. I ordered liver and gizzards the garlic toast with some steak fingers.

Fingers are really good. The ambience is laid-back easy-going read more

Lucky Wishbone - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

Very juicy chicken French fries and bread is delicious and too large portions love it here

Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - absolutely delicious food for the mains but the sides were not that impressive POP (8 piece) Gizzard with Onion Rings, Garlic Toast, and 2 sauces. The gizzards were fried well but didn't have much flavor other than the batter. The onion rings were nicely fried but not much flavor either so needed ketchup or sauce to help it along. The garlic toast was very oily/greasy especially as you get closer to the center. The lucky wishbone sauce tasted of cocktail sauce with some more horseradish 7 piece Dark Special with a mix of legs and thighs. The fry on these chicken was amazing with such a crunch on the outside but the inside was deliciously moist. The batter is on the saltier side but still so good Ambience: 4/5 - older restaurant that smelled slightly of disinfectant and not at all of the food. Pictures that showed its history and lots of sport posters. The windows are slight scratched and some tiles had holes. The tables and chairs were clean but it felt a bit dusty overall Service: 5/5 - friendly but couldn't give much details or recommendations for the menu. About 15 minute wait for our food Value for price: 5/5 - delicious food overall but the pricing is a bit odd... for example, it would have been cheaper to get a Jr Gizzard with 4 a la carte pieces (7 + 3.8 = 10.8) rather than the POP Gizzard (11.50) read more

first of all as I walk up to the door and enter the build I can see the cook have a mad look that makes you feel unwelcome. I feel sorry for the cashier at least she had a smile on her face but that is not customer service friendly at all. yes we arrived a few mins before they closed but that does not mean to have a bad attitude at the end of the day no matter if customers in a few minutes before they close sho never have a mad reaction on their face read more

Harrison location. Cold hamburger, steak fingers nasty . On 4/17/25 Will not be ever going back there, real shame they use to be good, not anymore read more

We simply stopped here for the fact that this location sells or should I say serves gizzards and liver. The group and I that visited here we ordered some of everything from their menu and I must say that from the moment we walked in from when we placed our orders and picked up our food from the counter it was a good visit. The associates they are polite and well mannered. At this location you place your order but you do not pay for your order until it is ready. The shrimp combo meal is good they're fried gizzards are also really good they are battered fried but still very tender and flavorful. They also have some desserts that you can choose from as well. If you're looking for a little something different like the gizzards or liver give this place a try read more

I love livers and gizzards... this place shouldn't even try. Livers were "fishy" not fresh. Gizzards, weren't that bad, but not great. Shrimp... were shrimp, low tier. Same thing with the onion rings, low tier. Garlic toast. Please stop. Bread with garlic powder. Extremely disappointed. I really wanted to like this place, but won't be back. read more

Lucky Wishbone - Hair, plus shrimp - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The french fry recipe was different. Instead of the trademark skinny fries, they were thick crinkle cut fries. I have been going here my whole life, since the 70's, and was disappointed in the french fry change. They tasted ok, but they were not Lucky Wishbone fries. I will returning, if this is the new french fry being used. The skinny fries were the reason I went there. read more

Very good quality food. As a first-timer, I can see why this is a place to go and one of the original fast food places of Tucson. A simple and easy to read menu with almost everything that can be customized in a combo box I ordered a Mom steak finger box. I was told the "sauce" is like a cocktail sauce. So I switched it out for ranch. Didn't think it went well with steak fingers. Being from Texas, I would have preferred cream gravy. Being used to DQ, I was surprised at the size of the steak fingers. They were about the width of 3 of their french fries. But had a nice chew to them and I could tell they were the real deal. Absolutely love the garlic toast. If they made their grilled cheese with this toast, I would have ordered that. If I ever make it back to Tucson, I'd make a trip into a location. Definitely was a surprise to order, have the food prepared and then pay. But if that's a system that works for them, who am I to judge. read more

Lucky Wishbone - 2 steak fingers from a Mom basket with fries, ranch and garlic bread. - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

The food is decent fried food if you like that kinda thing. Here's the ridiculous thing here: the prices are no longer on the menu board. WTF? Who's the genius that thought that was a good idea? YOUR CLIENTELE IS WORKING CLASS, WE WANT TO SEE WHAT YOUR FOOD COSTS believe it or not. The workers were nice read more

Delivery prompt, food service excellent and it was well put together! Love Lucky Wishbone!!

Another Tucson tradition taking their years of business for granted. This evening I was craving some good fried chicken and had heard about Lucky Wishbone being a fine place for just that. When I went in at 7:30 pm, 30 minutes before closing, I asked for a Pops Special. The manager came out from the back and said they could give me 1 breast and five wings. I was a bit suspicious at this generosity. I asked when it was cooked. She said today. I asked what time and she hesitated and said 2:00 in the afternoon. She said but not to worry I can refry the fried chicken to heat it up. I said thanks but no thanks and walked away. Refried fried chicken that is dry after being under heat lamp for five hours turns into a grease sponge with the most horrible flavor. I do not recommend this place but many seem to like it. read more

Lucky Wishbone is an old time favorite of Tucson, AZ and I am sad to see they don't have a better Yelp rating. I have been to the majority of the locations but I chose to review this one because this is the location I frequented since I was a little girl. When I think Lucky Wishbone, I think grease and I'm totally okay with that. I love the steak fingers, breaded shrimp, garlic bread, fries and burgers at Lucky Wishbone. I saw so many reviews about people saying the food is too greasy. That's honestly such a stupid comment. It's fast food and the majority of the menu is food that requires frying. Go somewhere else if you're not okay with that. I remember coming to Lucky Wishbone as a kid with my dad and siblings and always getting so excited for those family boxes. The service is always fast and it's my go-to for a hangover cheeseburger/grilled cheese. I will always love this Tucson-favorite. read more

Lucky Wishbone has decided to cut down the pop shrimp from 10 pieces to 8 and charging more. You lost a customer today. Changing portion sizes on a menu people have known for years is not cool. I went in to order but when the employee told me about the change I left read more

If you lived in Tucson in the 70's this was a go-to. Alas, no longer. The shrimp has no flavor (yeah, they were also frozen back in the day but somehow tasted like shrimp). NONE. 8-piece with so-so fries and a decent garlic bread, plus a diet Coke will run you $15+. You will regret buying this. On a Saturday at 5:30pm, there are no other people besides me and the three workers in the building. read more

Lucky is a Tucson staple. Although it is a little long in the tooth for consistency and quality, it is still down home fried food. Family feasts can be split to include, my recommendation, both steak and chicken fingers. You can also swap the coleslaw for another side - but why would you unless you are getting multiple feasts? The lucky burger is above other fast food joints but not to the caliber of in n out. Their chicken (not fingers) is good but a little greasy. Call ahead and within your 15 minute drive your wait is only to pay. Enjoy a tucson tradition and give this place a try. When you are driving home watch out for your kids sneaking fries through the vent holes on the top of the box - one of the best parts of the experience. read more

COVID-19 edition: This was pretty good. It's take-out only, and not everything sold here survives the trip home. But the fried chicken itself does very well and I recommend it. The online ordering system seems straightforward enough with this one caveat: there is no chocolate cake. This is only my second try at Lucky's, and my first at this location. The chain is a Tucson favorite, and I think that's justified. We tried a variety of items -- bone-in chicken, chicken livers, shrimp, fish, fries. Pickup was mostly easy, and then it was back in the car and immediately head home. I thought the chicken itself was good -- flavorful and not too greasy, and the underlying chicken was moist and tender. Leftover pieces the next day were just as tasty. The other items in our order did not survive the trip home as well. I liked the fish fingers, but thought they would have been great when fresh out of the fryer. The shrimp was okay. Our dogs loved the chicken livers. We thought they were just okay. I mentioned our attempt to order the chocolate cake via the online menu. I was immediately called and told that they had no cake, and would I like something else? No, thank you. I was a bit wary when I was charged for the cake, and the manager said he had "requested the refund." Really? But the refund appeared the next day. Recommended as a pretty good fried chicken restaurant. read more

The fried chicken - nuf said. There are 10 fryer baskets ready to go. The chicken is served too hot to eat. As it should be. The chicken and coating are not too salty - you taste the chicken and no cotton mouth for 8 hours after you eat. The wing through breast were all cooked properly. Order to service about 10 minutes. Sides were average but who cares...good fried chicken is hard to find. read more

DO NOT EAT THERE : In the middle of my coleslaw was a crumpled up paper towel, when I called to talk to the manager I was told "it happens often, you can come back and I'll refund you for the cole slaw". My son and I ate thru half the container before we found the paper towel. I'm assuming a worker threw it in the mixing tray. No responsibility and they don't care about their product or customers. read more

Lucky Wishbone - Garbage in my food - Chicken Wings Near Me - Tucson, Arizona

A record for 1 star reviews. This is overpriced fried crap. The reason everything is fried to dryness is they go from the freezer to the oil. I looked carefully for the shrimp in the breading. read more

Just picked up my to go order, and they changed the fries to crinkle cut...Bring the old fries back!!!!

I wrote a Yelp review, and also have contacted them on the size of the chicken used in the fried chicken. This is not cheap stuff. But, when the company never responded when you contact them on through their website several times, they simply do not care. I cannot find chicken that small in the store! I have had hot wing drumettes that are bigger than the chicken legs they serve there. I support local, and such a shame that they do not respond to direct feedback, and obviously have made no effort to correct anything. A family member brought some home the other night, wow, it was poor. It gets dry as it is just so small, that it is half breading. So to follow-up on my previous review, nothing has changed, the company obviously lacks leadership and fails to even thank you for your direct comments to them. Poor! read more

Place was mostly empty with just another customer when I came in for lunch on a Saturday. Maybe they're busier during other hours, and although clean, place looks worn down. My husband grew up in Tucson so this is his go to place for fried liver & gizzards. I like fried gizzards too but have had better. Recently they've really increased prices unreasonable high. 75 cent per gizzard or liver is way too high, so for 2 small piece I could get chicken & thigh Monday special for $1.50 at KFC. They also don't have packaged deal with just liver & gizzards - the meal comes with bread and sides. I don't want or like their sides. They need to offer better value as their quality is simply ok and nowhere near the price point they charge. read more

Food tasted rancid, not sure if it was the cooking oil or just the meat. The steak fingers were chewy and tasted awful. The fries were disgusting limp oily disaster. The chicken fingers were rubbery. First and last time eating here. read more

Simply, the best chicken i have ever put in my mouth if your in Tucson, an attraction you must go visit

So I had to come back to this place. I think the Jalepeño poppers were stuck in my mind, because for 2 weeks, I've been craving them. I came in here and purchased 2 orders of Jalepeño poppers and a medium soda. Oh man, It's like the Jalepeño poppers get better every single time I order them. The staff was nice as usual, very friendly, and absolutely understanding in my love for Jalepeño poppers. read more

DO NOT I repeat DO NOT eat here last trip I went the owner and the manager were leaning their A S S E S against the food preparation tables also I didn't see not a single glove changed the whole time I was there and I'm pretty sure whoever was breading the tenders was also serving them as the manager and owner didn't lift a finger quite honestly I should call the Health Dept on these people but I don't see that changing anything they need to be shut down because I heard repetitive sneezing coming from the kitchen as well wish I could give ZERO STARS also did I mention my 48 hour bout with explosive diarrhea after the consumption of the food on the visit I am recording now I'm pretty sure the chicken tenders we're only cooked halfway through read more

I was quite pleased with my experience at Lucky Wishbone. It was clean and the service was fantastic (friendly and efficient). I no longer live in Tucson but spent many a childhood afternoon eating Lucky Wishbone, one of my Dad's favorites so while in town decided to run by. My favorite thing as a child was the bread... well that hasn't changed! It was still fabulous! And the rest of our order was good too. No complaints from any of the six hungry people awaiting for me to arrive with their dinner. So thumbs up to Lucky Wishbone, particularly the very friendly team that was working on the afternoon of Nov. 15th. read more

I dont really know why this place gets the rave. Their awarded chicken is kind of lacking in the meat content. Between the breading and the various starchy sides you get, your meal is mostly starch not meat. Even when you order something different like their fish sandwich (i ordered this during their BOGO special on it) the fish fillet is laughably thin and you mostly are eating breading. I've given up on the food, will not return. read more

Years ago this one of my favorite fast food spots, the steak fingers and shrimp were phenomenal. I joined the military and have been away for many years, but I knew if I ever came back to Tucson Lucky Wishbone would be a necessary stop. Well that dream was just crushed, the quality is gone, the steak fingers are tough and taste terrible, don't bother stopping. read more
