Lucky's Cafe is the kind of place that immediately earns your trust. I came in for breakfast--and stayed long enough to be fully convinced that if the lunch is anything like their 24-hour breakfast, it's just as good. Everything about the food felt elevated, from the quality of the ingredients to the way the dishes are prepared. They're farm-to-table, and it truly shows--nothing tastes generic or rushed. Even the simplest dishes feel intentional and well-executed. The space leans into a 1950s diner style, which has a lot of charm, though I'd love to see it get a bit of a facelift--just a little TLC to match the level of care happening in the kitchen. All in all, this is a spot where the food clearly leads the experience. I'd absolutely come back--and next time, I'm staying for lunch.
It's SAD AF that this ONE bartender ruins the experience of LUCKY's as we have experienced it years prior. Listen, my company Speak & Center is ALL about making meditation and mental health awareness a priority... and more approachable... But HAVING BEEN A BARTENDER, to meet one that only seems to smile as SINGLE MEN- In a QUEER/Lgbt neighborhood is a Huge DISSERVICE to the community imo. Anyway we quickly realized she was not interested in "Hi how are you?" After 3 minutes of ignoring me with only one other customer remaining... do better GIRL. Jesus.
Best diner in Dallas. OG farm to table food venue. Casual atmosphere with full bar. Great mimosas and bloodys Bobby always take excellent care of us at the bar counter but today we sat in a booth and we felt just as welcome there. The food is always fresh, well portioned and super tasty. They serve the best waffles in town but they also serve lunch all day so I pretty much have had all the sandwiches and burgers and I can honestly say I like them all My fave is called the sleezieat cheesiest and it goes great with French fries and their DELICIOUS brown gravy IT gets pretty busy on weekends so I say to go early Street parking as well as a small lot behind the building Highly highly recommend
Really neat place. The building fits the 50s diner feel, clearly dating to the actual time (I asked, and originally it was a music store, then a deli, and 30 years ago, it became Lucky's). I got the BLT, but it also included avacado, so it SHOULD be called the BALT, hehe. It was very good, crunchy and fresh. Would come back anytime.
Lucky's is a Dallas landmark! We love visiting weekly for breakfast or lunch. Best grits in Dallas for sure. James who has worked there for decades is LEGENDARY! Best service anywhere. He makes Lucky's such a memorable experience. Highly recommend.
My daughter picked since it was her 18th birthday. Little bit of a drive on a Tuesday during rush hour but boy oh boy is it worth it. It was our first time here and we will be back. Great service, wonderful staff, amazing food, good prices with farm to table style food. We waddled out to the car after this meal!! Epic!
Another new spot we tried out while in Dallas, the food was seasoned well, the service was superb despite it being busy they were quick and attentive to bringing our food refilling our drinks and they offered some different specialty items, everything is from local farmers (definitely a plus) ..The ambiance is relaxing and quite quaint paying detail to the cleanliness. We will definitely be back
The food was excellent and served promptly Service was quick, respectful, and timely The ambiance was charged and bubbly. It has that old-fashioned dinner feel with a touch of a new-generation vibe. It's a cool spot to try with friends on a Sunday afternoon.
Since moving to the neighborhood I've passed my Lucky's so many times and made a note to stop in. So while out for a walk, my partner and I decided to check out it. We arrived around 12:30 and there were a few groups waiting. We put our name on the list and were called about 15 mins later. It's a cool, neighborhood diner with eclectic led lights and tidbits of patronage and community and throughout. The lady who greeted us was nice and lead us to a booth where our waiter; a friendly, upbeat older gentleman with a cool gray mustache. He offered us water, coffee and mimosas while we looked over the menu. My partner ordered coffee and of course a carafe of mimosa for me (well us lol). You also get a complimentary basket of assorted bread while you wait. We both ordered traditional breakfasts: mine with bacon and potatoes. Hers with patty sausage and cheese grits. Both were plentiful and cooked well. All in all, a great cozy experience at Lucky's and well definitely stop in again!
I love the retro diner atmosphere. The pot roast was the closest to homemade made I have had at any restaurant. I added a side of spinach and it was a great compliment. Bf got the migas and liked it. They also have a full bar We got a carafe of og mimosa. Friendly and attentive service. Food came out quick and they were pretty busy. Overall great experience, highly recommend. Forgot to add... great music (all types spanning many decades) playing at a low, unobtrusive volume. Loved it
If you are looking for some good ol comfort food, Lucky's Cafe is just the place. They serve breakfast all day too! Today I had the special, which was chicken fried steak with two sides. Not only was the chicken fried steak good, but the fried okra and creamed corn was too. Before my meal was ready, my waitress brought biscuits and cornbread to the table. Bonus points (stars) for having honey on the table for the hot biscuits!! Decorated to resemble an old cafe, it will have you feeling like you have stepped back in time. Lucky's Cafe is a go to place in Dallas. Go get Full
This was our first time here after searching the non-ending list of brunch places in the area. There was a slight wait, but we were quickly seated. The service was tremendously efficient but friendly with a welcoming touch. It was the classic diner with wholesome nostalgia. The food was above average, but the highlight was the side of pancakes we got! It was soft/fluffy/hearty. The cininamon butter put it over the edge!

A local favorite for a casual brunch or lunch, especially on a Sunday afternoon. Luckys has a relaxed feel to it with a 50s diner theme. Staff is also very attentive and friendly anytime we visit. I was craving something hearty so compromised on a chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and sweet potatoes as well as the goat cheese and spinach salad. The meal was great, paired with fresh squeezed orange juice, but just wish the chicken fried steak had a little more flavor. The salad was great and everything else I've tried from here has been amazing, especially from the breakfast menu. While waiting, they also bring cornbread and biscuits to help hold you over until the main course. P.S. lots of parking behind the building. read more
If I could leave a one word review, it would be delicious. This is a very cute 50s diner vibe place but the food is great. I'm from the East Coast so we love brown gravy on our french fries and I haven't had any since I left New York. I saw a photos in the Yelp reviews showing brown gravy on chicken dishes so I ordered a side of brown gravy for my fries. It blew me away. It was absolutely delicious. The chicken was juicy and tender, and the sweet potato cubes were delicious. read more

Ordered the BLT. As you can see half the sandwich is broken so I will have to eat it in pieces. . Uber Eats won't do anything! read more

Needed comfort food for Tiki Hubby after a little procedure. Lucky"s chicken fried steak with mashed potatoes and creamed corn was just what the Dr ordered. The crust was crispy and seasoned just right. Every bite was better than the one before. Jon our server was the best great person and service. read more

Lovely local farm to table cafe. The food was great and the classic diner vibe makes the experience that much better. read more
We were recommended this place, so we had to try it out! Love that it's farm-to-table and they use local components and companies for their eggs, breads, etc. I ordered the egg white omelette, which was a bit spicy (but I didn't mind it), oatmeal (which was good), and the multigrain toast (which was also good). My partner had the sweet potato hash with sourdough toast and he said it was a good, healthy dish. We also drank coffee. For our meal it cost $40 ($50 with $10 tip.) It was nice to check out a local establishment for breakfast! read more
I have had good and so-so here, however, I just ordered the Pot Roast with a side of Whipped Potatoes via Uber Eats...it is delicious! And...piping HOT! Flavorful, moist and absolutely fantastic! The chef/cooks provided enough gravy to soak the toasted bread in to sop up all of the flavor. Enough for 3 meals for me. First time having this dish and now it is my FAV! Give it a whirl! read more

Was excited to try this place today. Sat at the bar- big mistake. The little short old Hispanic man was so rude like he was too important to be bothered. Turned me off real quick- I ate and got the heck out of there. Was gonna enjoy some mimosas but felt unwelcome. Too many other places to try to have a Debby downer like him. The food was OK nothing to go back for. read more
Came here at 11:45am on a Monday and was served by Jim! He was so incredible and made for a great birthday brunch experience. We ordered drinks and food and it all arrived very promptly despite the busy floor. Jim was making us laugh each time he came by and the food was excellent. Highly recommend this place, will be back! read more
I was expecting a grimy diner, but this was actually a really great brunch spot! The ambience is fun and lively! It feels like a lot of Oaklawn locals, both in the clientele and the staff. Even though it was super busy, we didn't have to wait long for a table. I ordered the spinach eggs Benedict and it was delicious! The poached eggs were cooked perfectly and the biscuits were delicious. My boyfriend ordered the fried chicken eggs Benedict and also really enjoyed his. They make the biscuits in-house and bring them to your table before your food comes -- absolutely delish. One of the best parts about going here is that the wait really makes you feel welcome and taken care of. I loved our waiters and everyone seems to be enjoying working there read more

Had much with a group of 4. Chicken fried steak, chicken sandwich, and fish and chips. No fishy smells here! Everyone said their meal was great. Wait staff is super friendly, helpful, and attentive. Make sure to get the cornbread before your meal - it's amazing! Parking can be hard to find at times. They do have parking in the back. read more
The food here is really not that great. We only came here to meet with some friends, but the food is meh and I found a hair on my potatoes (which I had them take back and they replaced the potatoes (which was good)...but still) read more

I ordered a omelette and it was still runny with no seasoning 0/10. I don't k ow who's cooking today but get them off the grill. The okra was ok 4/10 and the grits -100/10 like who puts creamy corn in grits. I threw my whole plate away. Take all them items off the menu asap. read more
Came to Lucky's for brunch with some friends! It was soooo packed, we waited about 25 minutes to be seated which was great. The atmosphere was definitely high energy and I enjoyed it. The basket of warm bread that they bring for the table was soooo good! The homemade honey was amazing on my biscuit. I was shocked that they didn't have homemade jam/jelly, since they really promote local entities for their provisions. I also got the pineapple mimosa carafe, no complaints there. For my meal, I got the Enchiladas & egg entree. I don't know who thought of this combination but they deserve an award! It was soooooo delicious. The waffle was awesome as well, it came with a cinnamon butter that was to die for. Follow me for more (IG & TikTok): @MissMo2323 read more
Enjoyed a lovely, quick lunch at Luckys Cafe. The server was kind and efficient. He brought water, took our drink order, and was back shortly with biscuits and cornbread to take our food order. The food came out almost immediately and I enjoyed the blackened catfish, roasted broccoli, and roasted brussels sprouts. Overall, it was a pleasant experience and the pricing was reasonable considering the area. I'm sure we will be back again! read more
