Looovvveeee this place. The canoewreck and the biscuits and gravy are my favorite. It's usually super busy so you'll probably wait awhile but service has always been good. read more

We both enjoyed our meals at Lucky's Cafe. I had the Reuben and my husband had the biscuits and gravy. The savory biscuits were stated on the meal that it was on the Food Network and I can see why. The Reuben sandwich is delicious with the homemade thousand island sauce but the potatoes weren't cooked fully. It could be because they were rushing to make my meal. I will say the service is extremely busy. Our waitress did get the wrong plate served to us so I had to wait for my Reuben. She did apologize. The ambiance is very crowded so be prepared to wait. Other than that it's a cool place to check out. read more

Delicious pecan crusted bacon. Unique and absolutely fantastically creamy and savory baked eggs. The "canoe wreck" was a conglomeration of tofu bits, onion, large potato chunks, and some sort of curry or otherwise Indian inspired thin sauce. It was truly a pile of food. Can't say I appreciated it due to the lack of actual tofu chunks and how it all glommed together into a mildly spicy curry type mix. Not appealing to me. The toast and bits of fruit on the side were nice. As usual they had multiple delectable bakery offerings such as a thin mint brownie and various cookies and mousse type desserts. read more

The food is fresh and the staff is kind. I can tell why they have so many accolades. Rare to find a breakfast spot that can do it all. The vibe is casual, this place could be your next weekly tradition. Prices are fair. My recommendation try the home made jam, you won't regret it. It may sound like a lot packed into it, but don't let that deter you. read more

Came here on a Saturday morning. Ordered the waffles and the shipwreck. Also ordered the Lucky's signature latte which was very big and sort of sweet. The portion sizes were nice and very filling. I would say the toast is a little bit on the oily side. The jam used on the waffles were also pretty sweet. Overall, I would come back here again probably one of the better brunches I've had. I also like that all of the ingredients are locally sourced. The wait on a Saturday morning for two people wasn't too long and the servers were very nice. The interior was a little bit cramped, but it only added to the cozy feel of the restaurant. read more

This place is straight out of a Hallmark movie. SO cute and the staff were so friendly. This is a farm to table restaurant and our waitress was very knowledgeable about the food and ingredients used. I got the Biscuits and the Turtle Latte and both were to die for. Probably one of the best breakfast/brunch spots! Excited to come back and try their vast selection of baked goods and lunch menu. read more

I'm sorry to report that Lucky's is ABSOLUTELY worth the hype! We went on a rainy day, so there was no wait and we were seated right away. The service was fast and the workers were friendly. The food was phenomenal. I got the waffles and they were cooked very well. Light, fluffy, the homemade whipped cream was so good, and the strawberry rhubarb topping was to die for. The coffee was tasty, and the biscuits were delicious too. Overall rating: 5/5 stars What an amazing experience, there's not much else to say. I'll definitely be returning. read more

We walked in at 11:40am on a Sunday and were told about 35 minute wait. (We gave our number and they called when our table was ready.) There didn't seem to be a waiting area inside so we walked around the neighborhood a bit. We were pleasantly surprised when only 11 minutes later we were called to be seated! From being seated at 11:52am... our food didn't get delivered until 1pm (not a typo). Our server was lousy. We asked for water 3x and never got it. We ended up walking to our car and bringing in our water bottles. He did acknowledge us eventually and took our drink orders. We were told that he'd take the drink order then the food a little later. When he took food orders, he didn't write them down. He had to come back to our table several minutes later to confirm our order before ringing it up. We saw him return to other tables to ask them to repeat their orders, too. We watched another table in his section repeatedly ask for water. We saw a table change their mind after waiting so long before being acknowledged. We watched him interact with a table (who had been warned of how slow he worked) tell him that she wanted to order both her drinks and food all at once. He flat out told her NO. So she just ordered food. It was a very frustrating environment to be in, as we saw other tables getting much better/quicker service from other servers and watched him not seem to care. We told ourselves that we would leave if we didn't get our food by a certain time. Then I convinced my husband to wait 5 more minutes. At 1pm it finally came out. (The potatoes weren't cooked as requested, but there was no way we were waiting any longer, and we received an item we hadn't ordered and sent back. Perhaps if our order was written down, this could have been avoided.) The bacon was delicious. We both enjoyed our food (was it really good or were we just starving, idk). The menu items were unique and sounded great. I probably wouldn't opt to revisit Lucky's (based on this experience). read more

Stopped by Lucky's in Cleveland to load up on carbs before a marathon. The food was excellent! I got the Shipwreck (eggs, toast, etc.), and my husband had the waffles. The bacon was delicious but extremely crunchy. And a special shoutout to the coffee: it was huge! Definitely the biggest cup I've ever been served. read more

I absolutely love Lucky's cafe for breakfast. Located in the heart of Tremont this quaint restaurant is a true gem. My friends and I went for a girls brunch on an early Sunday morning. We arrived within 5 minutes of them opening and we were able to walk right in and be seated immediately. Parking was available on the street but the spots get taken fast so prepare to walk if you have to. All the staff were so welcoming and attentive. Our waitress was so sweet and took great care of us. The food is so fresh and delicately crafted. I ordered the smothered cheddar biscuits from tv lol they were truly a star of the menu to me! A must try for sure. I also had a fresh cinnamon roll and that was tasty too. I will be back more often to try more menu items in the future. I rate this place a 9.5/10! read more

Popular brunch spot in tremont, known for their two Foodnetwork featured items (Biscuits and Lucky's Rueben) and their amazing cinnamon rolls. Their speciality coffees are also worth the hype! Get up early on a weekend and get in line for Lucky's Cafe! The wait normally isn't bad, and if there is a long wait, stop by a neighborhood coffee shop (Roasted, Civilizations) to grab a coffee. When the weather is nicer, their patio is also open, which allows for more seating! Stop by Lucky's if you haven't had a chance!! read more

Un"Lucky"'s Never again. Was super excited to go this award winning family owned Gem in Cleveland only to have a terrible experience. We waited an hour which is totally understandable. From the time we ordered our food till the time we received our food it took 1 hour and 19 minutes. No joke. Kids were restless and hungry...Asked for Syrup and guy said that's an extra $4.50 and had to get manager approval. My son's waffle was cold by the time syrup finally came. Tried to order my eggs well done, no they only do it one way. Was waiting in line for the bathroom and server with attitude told me I was blocking the aisle which I wasn't. I dunno, everyone had an attitude and no one acted like they cared about our happiness. Will never dine here again. I'm sure there are a ton of better options out there! read more

I don't usually go for sweets at brunch, but I tried the waffle and it was absolutely amazing--crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and full of flavor. I thought I ordered hash browns, but they turned out to be more like oven-roasted potatoes--and honestly, I wasn't even mad because they were still incredible. Parking was surprisingly easy, and the staff were kind and welcoming. The coffee was just okay--nothing special--but everything else made up for it. Great spot for a cozy, satisfying brunch. I'll definitely be back! Like this review if it was helpful. read more

I was impressed with this place! The biscuits entree was amazing: there was a great texture contrast between the crunchy cheddar biscuits and the smooth and rich sausage gravy. The potatoes were not hash browns as advertised (they were diced potatoes), but at least they were crunchy! I tried my brother's eggs en croute (eggs baked in cream, spinach, and Parmesan) which was so rich and delicious - but it was a misnomer. En croute means it's wrapped in dough and baked. I think they possibly meant eggs en cocette (baked eggs in pots). This comes alongside the brûléed oatmeal, which was fancy and also delicious! I also tried some of the toast with blueberry jam. It had a great crunch and texture, and the blueberry jam was just the right amount of sweetness. Food was slow to come out (45+ min) and there was not a ton of seating room inside, but worth the wait. Not a huge menu to choose from, but I'd eat those biscuits again in a heartbeat! read more

Highly recommend this for American style breakfast/brunch but make sure you come early if you are dining on the weekend! Went here for Saturday brunch with some friends and they do not take reservations so we had to wait ~ 1 hour. It was definitely worth it! I had the biscuits featured on Food Network and it was super creamy and filling, without it feeling very greasy. It comes with cheddar scallion biscuits, scrambled eggs, and sausage gravy. Added some hot sauce to it, which gave it a smokey flavor but not much spice. The Sunshine Cocktail (orange juice with black cherry syrup/soda) was a nice refreshing accompaniment. My friends and I collectively tried almost 2/3rds of the menu and we all really enjoyed it. Make sure you ask for their homemade blackberry jam - it was divine on toast! read more

Holy heck - how is this place not more well known? The cutest decorations, lovely plants outside to look at, probably THE BEST biscuits and gravy I've ever had. The drinks were so refreshing. I had a lavender earl grey lemonade. You might wait to be seated, but not because their staff is slacking - they're just a small restaurant, and they're getting the patronage they deserve. If you're able to spend time to enjoy a breakfast/brunch in tremont, the choice couldn't be simpler. Great ethical sourcing, mission statement, and connections to other local businesses. read more

This review would be five starts if it did not include the service. We had a party of seven and everyone loved their food. Eggs were spot on, the pecan bacon was delicious and the sausage patties were amazing. Some in our group got the biscuits and gave rave reviews. Waffles a hit! The coffee was really really good too! Now, the service. Our waitress did not check on us. Gave me an undressed salad and I had to wave another waitstaff down to get me some dressing. She looked disinterested and, honestly, a little annoyed to be waiting on us. So food - amazing! Waitstaff- not so much. Brought it down a whole star. read more

What a great breakfast spot! This spot definitely deserves it's flowers and it's hype. My buddy and I were visiting in Cleveland and was recommended this breakfast spot. It's famous for being featured on the food network on several different shows so we were excited to try it. There was a little bit of a wait (15 minutes) to be seated, but that's to be expected at a good eatery. Our waiter was awesome. He really sold us all the food we got. Most of his recommendations were spot on. We started with the cinnamon rolls. That was my least favorite food item. It was just "ok". The icing was sparse and dry. But the roll was yummy. The candied bacon was also highly recommended. That was also just "ok". I felt there was almost too much brown sugar topping. Probably wouldn't order it again. For breakfast, I ordered the BISCUITS, which was the breakfast item featured on all the Food Channel's shows. It was really delicious, best thing I ate in Cleveland. I am a huge biscuits and gravy fan, but this was a great version of it. My buddy ordered the WAFFLES. Those were amazing too. Strawberry rhubarb with caramel drizzle over whipped cream was a great combo... highly recommend! Other than the cinnamon roll and candied bacon, the rest of our meal was phenomenal. The ambiance was nice and the staff was helpful. Have to give this a 5 Star review. One of the best breakfast spots I have been to. read more

I normally don't write negative reviews, but this is one restaurant that I will never go to again. It is cute inside, however that does not make up for the poor service and sub par food. We did not have to wait to get a table, however it took a bit for the waitress to serve us. Once approached, she offered to get us cinnamon rolls, which we never got but ended up on our bill. My friend got a very watered down latte which she put to the side in hopes to get a different drink, but no one ever came to ask us how we were doing or if we would like anything else. We were just handed an incorrect bill at the end of our meal and they quickly ran away. We got the biscuits and granola to share. I thought the biscuits were bland but the granola was okay. Overall, skip this one. I don't understand the positive reviews from my experience. read more

Lucky's is one of my go-to brunch spots. This time, I had the shrimp and grits, while my friend ordered the Shipwreck. Both dishes were delicious, and our server was warm and attentive. I also tried the cinnamon roll, and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. Lucky's has a casual vibe, perfect for pairs or small groups, but I wouldn't recommend it for groups larger than four. Be prepared for a wait--arriving right when they open is a smart move! read more

came here on my lunch and the service was decent, and food was great, I loved their Mac n cheese pictured. Though, it comes with applesauce (?) and they put ONIONS in my applesauce. I asked if those were supposed to be in there and they obviously said no. My server was very apologetic but some other worker that was standing next to her was just laughing and making jokes. No discount or explanation or anything. I'd still recommend because I can tell it was just a mistake/food is still awesome but wish it was more professional read more

My family and I came to Lucky's for brunch before the Browns-Steelers game, and we will most definitely be back. The decor was charming and festive. The hostess was cheerful as she settled us at our table. Our waiter was attentive and helpful. We had read reviews suggesting the food was excellent, and they were right. From the breakfast burrito to the Shipwreck'd to the Biscuits & Gravy to the Reuben, we were all very happy with our food. My biscuits & gravy were outstanding; the gravy is definitely made from scratch and not to be missed. The bacon was amazing. And my gingerbread latte? Fantastic. The only "complaint" we have is that it's 45 minutes from home ... and I'm sure we'll be back again in the future. read more

The BEST breakfast I've had in Cleveland! The biscuits and gravy will bring a tear to your eye they're so good! The canoe wreck was equally as impressive! The pastries we ordered to go were delicious and the latte will ruin you for all other lattes! The service was a bit slow but it was a very busy morning so it was understandable. My only complaint was that a table of regulars seated after us had their order taken immediately while our table and the seated before us had to wait almost 10 minutes to order. read more

Amazing breakfast spot. I can't stop ordering the biscuits and gravy. I keep telling myself to order something else, but when I sit down and look at the menu I get reminded of how awesome the biscuits and gravy are and I can't help it. It's been a decade at least. read more

We stopped at Lucky's Cafe to get some brunch over the weekend, and I really enjoyed my experience. They were crowded, but we got seated within 10-15 minutes. Due to the volume of patrons service was a little slow, but that's to be expected. Our server was so sweet, I believe her name was Nola, but I am not sure. The restaurant itself is nice and quaint with outside patio seating as well. The inside feels like a cozy coffee shop that just adds to the experience. I ordered the Honey Lavender Chai Latte with oat milk, the Waffles, and a side of scrambled eggs. My partner had the Biscuits entree and a Chai Latte. Their chai lattes are absolutely delicious! I will say that mine was sweeter due to the lavender syrup, but still great. My waffles were a great treat as well. I loved the lemon curd and the blueberry compote as they offset the sweetness of the dish. My partner enjoyed the biscuits entree. I personally would prefer if the eggs were not covered with the gravy in addition to the biscuit. I also felt like the dish needed another flavor profile or texture to complement the gravy and biscuit. read more

First time to Cleveland area and to Lucky's Cafe. I saw many reviews and posts that recommended this spot. Plus a kind woman that I sat by on the flight also recommended it. It's located in a neighborhood on a one way street. No dedicated parking lot, only street parking. They offer indoor and outdoor seating. In addition to their menu, they also offer fresh baked goods, coffee and a variety of merchandise and gift options. This place is decorated so cute! So many interesting and cool details. We had a pumpkin spice latte ($5.25) and fireside s'more mocha ($6.50). Hands down the BEST cup of coffee I had my entire time in Cleveland! You gotta go by there and get one. You will not be disappointed. Our service was excellent and the staff are great. We had the Biscuits ($17.75). This plate was full of delicious flavors! Very nice portion and can be shared so you can try more than one option. I loved the T-shirts with their logo so much that I bought 2 of them. They are $18, super soft and high quality. This place is a MUST try! Thank you for great food and awesome dining experience! read more

Food was very good, specifically the mac n cheese was superrrr savory and homey. The atmosphere of the restaurant was very cute and quaint, we had to wait for a little while when we walked in but we sat down much quicker than at expected. The service just felt very off after ordering our drinks. I felt the server was treating those around us with a better attitude and not treating us with same energy. The server was not moving with urgency or punctuality to get people out of there after we and the table next to us asked for our checks and had to wait a while after the server walked past our table multiple times just looking around. I would return but just to get my food to go and not dine in again. read more

We popped by Lucky's cafe while visiting Cleveland after I saw some amazing yelp reviews. It was in a random little spot of town but well worth the trip! The servers were all friendly and it was the cutest spot with a very "homey" feel to it. The restaurant is located in a small renovated home with an adorable outdoor area. I started with their seasonal honeydew matcha latte which was awesome! After reading some reviews on Yelp, we decided to go with the must have biscuits, pecan bacon, and famous Reuben. Everything came in huge portions for the price and ridiculously delicious. Their famous pecan bacon was to die for and both the biscuit/Reuben were must haves. Each bite was a burst of flavor and overall super enjoyable. Would definitely recommend Lucky's if you're in the Cleveland area, you'll get plenty of bang for your buck and an incredible meal! Hope to try some of their sweeter dishes next time with a bigger stomach. Don't miss out! read more

Preparing for a short trip to Cleveland OH, I searched YouTube for some places to eat that would enhance the business trip. I came across Lucky's Cafe from a YouTube video from Guy Fieri's "Diners, Drive-Ins And Dines" TV show. He had a show focused on Lucky's Cafe mainly focused on the Reuben Sandwich and all the care and love that goes in to making the sandwich with every aspect being fresh made. I was hooked instantly and put it on the top of my list. I found the small but very cute restaurant, and ordered the sandwich along with an Earl Grey Lemonade. I was not at all disappointed as the sandwich was presented beautifully and very tasteful and delicious. A Reuben is not a sandwich that I typically pursue. It is made from corn beef, sauerkraut, thousand island dressing and rye bread usually, and is decent to enjoy from time to time. The sandwich at Lucky's Cafe was delicious though and I would pursue this one more if only I lived closer. If you find yourself in Cleveland, OH, look this one up. Also, check out the show on YouTube prior to going, you'll be highly anticipating the experience. read more

We stopped on our way out of the downtown area on a Sunday and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table for 2. It was well worth the wait. What a cute place. Service was great. Our waitress gave us a quick description of their offerings and suggested we try a cinnamon roll made fresh and only available on the weekends. We opted for those to start and ordered a Thai tea and some water. The rolls were warm and delicious - cupcake size, so not overly filling to start. We opted for the waffles and biscuits. The waffles came with a strawberry rhubarb compote and fresh whipped cream. Yummy!! The biscuits were phenomenal. The biscuits themselves were full of flavor but also smothered in sausage gravy and scrambled eggs. Something unique that I have never had anywhere else. Seriously - those biscuits are so good. It also came with fried potatoes and grapes, but I didn't have room left for those. Our Thai teas were also really good - not overly sweet. A great balance. The baked goods looked amazing as well, but we were too full to try. read more

I was super excited to try this restaurant because of the many years worth of good reviews but I'm never going back sad to say. The experience was disappointing. They served me undercooked bacon, refused to take it back and cook it properly and, instead, placed it in a to-go box and charged me for it. I am giving two stars purely based on the biscuits and gravy which were delicious. However, the situation devolved quickly from there. The service was friendly at first, but slow because it was very busy. I went by myself first thing in the morning on a Sunday. There was a mix of people there, some of whom came based on the word of mouth and some of whom were regulars. The ambience was boisterous inside but reasonable conversational level, not sure how it was outside. I ordered the vegan soup, the famous pecan bacon, their biscuits and gravy that were featured on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, and a Reuben featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The vegan soup never came, and when I asked to have it removed from my bill, I was shot an evil look, no apology. I took one bite of the bacon and, as you can see in the picture, it was flabby, chewy and undercooked. I spit it out in my napkin. When I asked to send it back, they said, "Well, since you already bit into it we can't take it back." Huh? They not only didn't apologize, they refused to take it back and cook it properly. The woman then said it's cooked in an oven and if I wanted it crispy, I have to tell them I want crispy bacon in advance. Could the server have shared that with me when I was ordering? I said OK, just take it off my check then. She goes, "The manager will not let you return it." Instead of cooking it correctly, the woman actually took the bacon, put it in a to-go box and brought me the check. It was as if they were saying, "Hey, you're not the first person who has complained we undercook the bacon and we have a plan in place for people like you." I've been dining and working in restaurants, all my life, and I've never, ever been told that someone wouldn't refire an order that was undercooked. When I got home, I tried the Reuben and potato salad. The bread was crispy, the corned beef sliced thick and meaty but there were only two slices of corned beef on the sandwich. Clearly, it's not the sandwich Guy recommended. My advice to people ordering (which I will follow from now on): always ask for well done or crispy bacon. Consuming undercooked bacon can be dangerous and it can cause problems like salmonella or tapeworms. Google "Florida bacon tapeworms" for a recent example if you're curious. I'm sure the bacon they serve is high-quality but when I ask for bacon, I personally want it to be cooked through and not flabby. From a place that has so much popularity and so many people waiting, why is this the experience that they would want any customer to have and be vehemently unapologetic about? I don't like posting a negative review, but you earned it. If you like slightly undercooked bacon and service that says "the customer is always wrong", Lucky's is your spot and you should enjoy it. Bon appétit. read more
