    Poblano Chicken with side of fries and brown gravy and sweet potatoes
    Marie G.

    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.

    Not a great photo, but it was a very tasty BLT.

    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.

    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

    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

    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!

    Pot roast, sauteed spinach and mimosa
    Everlong_angelica M.

    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

    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.

    Lovely local farm to table cafe. The food was great and the classic diner vibe makes the experience that much better.

    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.

    Chicken Fried Steak, okra, corn and bread.

    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!

    Ordered a BLT   Half of the sandwich is broken in half. Uber won't do anything! Bye, bye

    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!

    Single yummy pancake

    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.

It was right after a furry convention happening at my hotel, so it was definitely crowded, but you wouldn't have known it by how smoothly everything was running. There were only two people at the register and two making drinks, yet the service moved quickly and efficiently. You could tell they really knew what they were doing. We both started with black coffees, which we prepared ourselves, and everything was fresh and exactly what we needed. Later, I went back and tried their strawberry, banana, peanut butter smoothie made with almond milk, and wow. Usually, banana overpowers everything in smoothies, but somehow they balanced it perfectly. I could actually taste every single fruit, which felt like magic. The prices were very reasonable, and I even grabbed a croissant for my walk back to the hotel, which was a nice little bonus. The location is beautiful, and while the space itself is on the smaller side, it more than makes up for it with comfortable and ample seating. The overall vibe, combined with top-notch service, made this such a great experience. I can't wait to come back again.

    If you're in Lower Greenville, Cafe Duro is absolutely worth the stop. Yes, it leans a bit pricey…read morefor a neighborhood bistro, but the consistency, quality, and overall experience make it easy to understand why people keep coming back. The food is consistently solid so much so that their famous Chicken Panini has been known to sell out, which honestly tells you everything you need to know. My daughter and niece are now completely hooked on the Banana Matcha as well... and trust me, thank me later. The atmosphere fits Lower Greenville perfectly: stylish, relaxed, and ideal for a casual brunch, coffee meetup, or midday reset. Just a heads up weekends are a different beast. Greenville turns into one of Dallas' main social hubs, so expect crowds, traffic, and a lively scene if you decide to pull up during peak hours. Overall, Cafe Duro has definitely earned its spot as one of my go-to stops in the area.

    Cafe Duro is a must when visiting the Lower Greenville area!…read more I recently visited this amazing European-style café during breakfast on a weekday and it was amazing. Please note that parking in this area is particularly difficult but if you come in the morning, it should be easier to find. Another thing worth nothing is that they are more of a quick standing coffee bar type of place and I definitely wouldn't recommend it for families or kids, so keep that in mind when visiting. Now to the food... They have a small but mighty menu for breakfast and lunch. For my first time I decided to try their The Monte Duro, which is a pastry style "hot pocket" with smoked prosciutto, mortadella, mustard and jam. For drink I decided to go with their Dirty Chai Latte. The drink was absolutely perfection and exactly what I needed in a warm Texas morning. The Monte Duro was cooked to perfection and packed with flavor! Both my friend and I ordered the same thing and we were both obsessed with it.

    A Must‑Try Donut Truck at Klyde Warren Park!…read more We stumbled upon this donut truck at Klyde Warren Park while in the area expecting a quick snack, and instead walked away having tried every single flavor they offered. Yes, every one -- and honestly, it was worth it! Each donut was fresh, and crafted with the kind of care you can actually taste. The flavors weren't just different; they were thoughtful, balanced, and surprisingly creative. One of the biggest highlights was the vegan Neapolitan donut. Vegan options can be hit or miss, but this one was so good we had to double‑check it was actually vegan. It had the same rich, indulgent flavor and perfect texture as the regular donuts -- no compromise, no "good for vegan," just good, period. It was one of those rare treats that makes you rethink what vegan baking can be. If you're anywhere near Klyde Warren Park, do yourself a favor and stop by this truck. It's the kind of place that turns a simple donut run into a memorable moment -- and we'd go back in a heartbeat. My kids have already asked a few times, ha!

Out of the 4 donuts I ordered, the Banoffee pie was hands down my favorite. The flavors and textures complimented each other perfectly, and it wasn't too sweet. The other donuts I ordered were decent, but I don't think I'd purchase them again. The classic donut was okay; it was a little too cakey/bready for my liking. Although I liked the flavors of the yuzu & matcha mini, because of the smaller size, the ratio of cream/curd to donut was overpowering. Lastly, again, i liked the flavors of the pistachio cannoli, but it was too sweet and the cream was dry. Overall, I'd still go again and I'd love to try the other flavors. I love the creativity!
