    Patty melt and fries
    Marlee B.

    Yelp never leads me wrong. Wanted a casual local spot for Sunday burgers enroute from Charleston to Asheville. Lucky's was a perfect location just off 26 in Irmo. The Lucky burger and patty melt were solid choices. Waitresses were speedy and friendly. Nice outdoor patio and game room. LONG list of beers offered!

    Lucky's is a great local bar in Irmo. I'm sure everyone knew I wasn't local but that didn't keep them from being friendly and welcoming. they have a great selection of canned and bottled beer. They also have some amazing burgers. The bartender said her favorite thing to eat is the chicken Philly. Regardless, I had the Lucky's burger. It was cooked perfectly and piled high with mushrooms and onion strings. It had fresh lettuce and tomato and tasty pickles. I added tots and a couple of beers. They have a number of TVs and I was lucky to be there during March Madness. Overall, a great experience and I'll definitely swing by any time I'm in the area.

    Lucky's Burger Shack is a dive bar in Irmo with GREAT PRICES SERVICE, and BEST BURGERS IN TOWN. On certain days, I just need a Bud Lights vs. a micro brew. Try $2.25 each . Coming from Dallas TX, I haven't seen a beer price like this in 10 years. There are 15 person indoor bar and outside bar/entertainment area as well. Dogs are welcomed on the patio. Next was the Philly loaded and Lucky Burger. A real 6 oz burger and hand cut fries or tater tots for less than $10. They also have a 12 oz burger version for $13. All of the food is southern and damn good. The wait staff is VERY friendly and wouldn't stop asking how I could be served. 1st time in this location and won't be my last. More pics coming!!!

    Let me tell you, I don't typically eat burgers and cannot remember if I've ever actually ordered one but I did here upon recommendation of our waitress. I am soooo glad I did! It was delicious! The best burger I've ever eaten actually. It was well seasoned and cooked perfectly! I love that you have the option to get it in a wrap as well if you want to. Many different options and types! The tater tots were a hit as were the fries and of course homemade ranch! Highly recommend!

We have gone to this establishment for years and were a bit disappointed to see how limited the choices are with entrées. I had the Caesar salad with salmon. I did not care for the dressing, as it was not the normal Caesar I am accustomed to. My husband had a salad with steak. He thoroughly enjoyed his entrée and was pleased, discovering it to be ribeye.

We started off with some fried green tomatoes.  Everyone does their little twist on them and this place did the same.  Personally, I am good with them as is and maybe some remoulade for dipping.  Here they had a pepper sauce that came with them and cheese melted atop the FGTs.  Not bad and nothing killed or overpowered the flavor from the FGTs.  However, I did wish that the pepper sauce had a bit more kick.  I cannot remember the name but the drink of the much was a peach based drink.  It was good and it was not just some peach flavored alcohol but it was made with peach puree.  They had me at peach when she ran through the specials.    For the main entrée it was the ribeye at a medium rare with fries and asparagus.   You get a choice of a bordelaise or garlic aioli to accompany your steak or whatever you want to dip in it.  Steak was cooked to the medium rare as I requested and that is a good start because we know there those places that consider what you ask for as just a suggestion.  Good flavor from the steak with no need for the sauce as I found out and I just enjoy asparagus.    Good experience.  Despite this being my first time here this place gave the vibe as a solid choice.  One of those places where when you are unsure of what you want but don't want to risk something new because you are hungry or with someone who cannot come to terms with their food desires.  This is a that old, trusted place you can rely on when you are hungry and good service.  A first experience that went very well.

Our group has 13 and fortunately we had 11 today, which probably was about the most they could've managed at that table. Waiter was great. Took our drink orders and burger orders. Had a variety of orders (Poncho, Classic, Tuesday's Special Ron Swanson's), with regular fries and sweet potato fries. Burgers were very good, everyone happy with the exception of one burger getting dropped on the floor, resulting in that person waiting for about 10 minutes to get a replacement. Meanwhile he chomped on some of his fries. Overall food was great. Only issue is with the loud music. Music is good music, just way to loud. Everytime we go here nobody can here each other talk across the table. (We always sit at the big corner table on the right as you walk in). Fries were okay....nothing special. Burgers are the thing. Wish they would offer some home fries along with the regular and sweet potato fries. Only complaint we have is the loud music. Just tone it down about 3db.

When we walked to the register, we received no greeting, no 'Hi', nothing except, what would you like? I placed my order, was informed the shake machine was closed, and was informed that the dining room was closed. Why? Store closes at 9pm, the store still has 30 minutes before it closed? Shake machine shouldn't have been closed and there was still plenty of time to eat and go. We had been doing volunteer work outside all day and wanted a cool place to sit. Ok, that is fine, we got the order to go and sat outside at the tables. We had 3 different orders (separate individuals), we all received cold, soggy fries. At 8:50, they shut the outside lights off on us, still 10 minutes before closing. I went inside to refill my drink at 8:52, they eventually turned the lights back on, apparently oblivious to the fact that we were sitting out there?? I took our trash in but all the trash baskets were without bags and I didn't want to throw the trash in the can with no bag, so I set it on the top of the trash cabinet. She swiped the bags off the trash cabinet like it was a major inconvenience to her and at 8:55 she locked the door. She was so worried about her cleaning and making sure she could walk out that door at 9pm. Stores are open until 9pm. She shouldn't be so worried about walking out the door at 9. Cleaning can be done while people are still in the store and after guest leave, it doesn't hurt to have to wipe off one extra table? Just very rude. What I will say is that the dining room was clean and the store was neatly kept but service was terrible and the attitude sucked! Not sure why younger employees don't understand what providing good customer services look like anymore (This doesn't apply to ALL younger people, but enough that is it an issue). Disappointed in the entire exchange.

There is also a drive through along the right side of the building. Seating is a mix of tables and booths. The ordering counter is to the right as you come in with the menu board above. We were greeted as we walked in and told to sit anywhere after we placed our order. The food was brought to the table in about ten minutes. Unfortunately, only one item was correct. Instead of leaving the correct order, both were returned to the kitchen. The correct order was placed on the counter and sat while the other order was made. When the other order was complete about ten minutes later, both were brought to the table. As supplied, the Fox burger was below average. The veggies were fresh but the meat had cooled considerably and had little taste. The bun was OK but could have been fresher. The fries were no longer hot. They were a little undercooked as well, being soft without the crisp outside. The corrected order, another Fox burger, was better. The veggies were fresh and the meat was hot on this burger but still had little taste. The fries were warm at best but were cooked properly with a crisp outside. The onion rings were fresh and hot. The restaurant was about half full and there was plenty of staff but no one checked on us throughout the meal. There was no explanation regarding the incorrect order. There was a lively discussion regarding some relationship one of the servers was having which provided the show accompanying the meal, but it seemed to distract the staff.
