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

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. 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

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. read more

Luckys Cafe - Not a great photo, but it was a very tasty BLT. - American Near Me - Dallas, Texas

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 read more

Huge fan of Lucky's!! High quality diner food in a great neighborhood. Wonderful service and a fun, warm, laid back ambiance. Their pancakes are the best. It's on the pricier side for a diner, but that's because they source the best ingredients and you can tell. Love this place! read more

Luckys café is always a pretty good call for breakfast. Stopped in for a quick bite to eat and order the fried pickles, which were absolutely delicious! A little disappointed by the biscuits, which came out of a warmer, but unfortunately, were not really that warm. Tried the banana cogac pancakes, which were tough and overcooked, and hard to cut up. We also tried the Trainers Choice, which came out good. The service was helpful and often available. read more

What a cool place! Such a fun little diner! They have all day breakfast so I got the chicken and waffles and an OJ and my friend got the breakfast tacos! All was delicious! They also give you complimentary little biscuits for the table which are delicious! The food also comes out so fast and the portions are huge (forgot to take a picture)! Our server wasn't super friendly but everyone else seemed so kind so I'm assuming it was a one off! read more

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 read more

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! read more

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 read more

We started coming here 3-4 years ago on Christmas Eve with a daughter whose marriage had recently fallen apart. I'm pretty happy with the food. I make a pretty mean chicken fried chicken myself and I wish I could copy their batter. We had a ton of food, but what made the trip really successful was the light and sparkle of the girl who took care of us. I really wish I had gotten her name, but she was lovely and obviously very kind. I don't normally write reviews because the waitress is beautiful, but I guess there's always a first time. And the food was good too. read more

Thank you to the Yelp reviewers! I ordered online because I wanted to try the food for St Patrick's Day and restaurants were very busy and not taking delivery orders. I'm glad I ordered online. It was great! I ordered the reuben sandwich which came with fries. I also ordered the fried okra and the jalapeño puppies. So good! My son had the fish 'n chips with fries. The sauces were so tasty. Everything arrived hot. Next time, I'll be sure to visit in person to enjoy the 50s theme and vibrant ambiance. 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

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.

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! 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

1st time here for breakfast. Really enjoyed it. Had pancakes and omelet. Really liked the corn bread. Staff was great.

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

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

Fire pancakes. Definitely hit the spot if you're craving it, but also giving diner food vibes. Would only go if you're wanting that vibe

This is a wonderful place. We thoroughly enjoyed the delicious food and ambiance of the 1950's diner era. Ruby was our server and she was the best server we have ever had in all of DFW. She and the restaurant Manager brought our little girl an amazing hot fudge sundae after we finished dinner and sang her Happy Birthday. They did that all on their own and we were so surprised. Today, this type of classy, thoughtful service Is very rare. The attention to detail in how well they take care of their customers is flawless. We will be back many more times. Thank You Lucky's cafe and thank you Ruby! Y'all made our daughter's birthday dinner an unforgettable one! cheers! 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

The bacon was crispy and not greasy-generous portion. The sausage patties are large and juicy. The eggs-over medium-also cooked perfectly-not greasy or overly salted.
