Local update review It has been a year since my last review. Curious if this place still delivers a good burger. Verdict: YES! Everything is very consistent from my last visit. The buns used for their burgers are very very good. Our friend also ordered their burger on a gluten free bun. She thinks it comes from Pushkins Bakery...well-known for their excellent gluten free items. And if the buns are not from Pushkins, then Sacramento has another great gluten free bakery. Their burgers are juicy and fit the buns perfectly with chopped onions, lettuce, pickles and special sauce make the ideal condiments for this burger. Their fries are very good. there must be some type of coating that makes these fries crunchy on the outside and tender in the middle. very addictive. And their milkshakes are very thick and creamy and not too sweet. perfect. The dining room and bathrooms are very clean. Staff are very friendly and helpful. They will also customized your burgers without hesitation. My prior reviews were 4 out of 5 stars...but having consistency in quality, preparation, and flavor warrants a 5 out of 5 stars. read more

Not bad at all. Coworker and I came here for lunch. Both of never been here before but I've heard good things since their opening. We both ordered the bacon bbq cheese burger. Fries were good Id say the portion was decent it was a lot I didn't finish them. The burger was good in flavor. I forgot to order a double. I'll remember next time. The lettuce kinda took over in flavor but that's where I needed my extra patty I forgot lol. My coworker love the fresh fruit milk shake she said she could definitely taste the strawberries. Quiet vibes spacious eating area. I'll be back again. read more

I really wanted to love this place. The decor and ambience is great. The service was fast also. Fries were 5/5 - perfectly seasoned. Hot and fresh Oreo milkshake 5/5 - exactly what you think it is. Very good Single patty Lucky's burger 2/5 - man, was there something wrong with my burger? It tasted worst than a homemade burger. The meat had no flavor. The sauce was decent and the bread was soft. There was nothing special about it at all. I would come back to try another burger because apparently this place has good burgers...I just haven't experienced it yet. read more

I wanted to like this place. I'm sure we were there when they were super busy. There was a pop up shop event in the parking lot... and a good amount of people but still.... 40 minutes for a couple skinny smash burgers, a shake and fries? It's kitschy but I don't think we'll be back. read more

Went here with my best friend over the weekend and was super impressed! Everything from the inside decor to food taste to the ambiance was just right! I got the barbecue bacon burger+fries and shake meal, and it was perfect. I could definitely go back for a side of fries real soon especially lol. I really enjoyed the shake, but it was on the smaller side. I will say it was priced just right and came out in good time. My best friend and I sat outside and it was perfect. Such a lovely day to sit in the back patio is very cute with plenty of seating. Looking forward to when the double-decker bus is set up for seating inside of it. thank you for the great customer service and for doing such a wonderful job with the place. I used to come here when it was a dive bar! Lol. I can't wait to be back! read more

The burger was really good, and the reason why is I always judge a burger by the fires that come with it, these fires was seasoned and perfect, and I got the double lucky burger, real good and juicy, I also got milkshake and the spicy ketchup, the spicy ketchup wasn't my thing, but lived the milkshake and my wife loved the chili cheese fries, they were real cheeses and there was cheese in every bite, you gotta eat in the backyard it's a real good vibe, & they play all the old school jams, I bet it's way better at night, this is a must visit place Overall 10/10 Food: 10/10 Vibes: 9/10 -just because you can't eat in the buss that was back there Tip: 0 top Will return / yes read more

Came back here for the single Lucky burger meal, and I did enjoy it more this time! I even added jalapeños which made it extra delicious. I love their fries and also had a much better experience with the sauces this time. The garlic aioli was much more garlicky in flavor, and their ranch was also really good! However I still feel like they could use a better bun! It was a bit too dry for my liking. If I could give a 4.5 star rating, I would! This was my first time trying their milkshakes and I loved my blackberry one! It would be nice if they could do some kind of swirl, that flavor would taste great swirled with vanilla. But overall great milkshakes, I liked that they were thicker so you can eat them with a spoon, and also it won't melt right away while you're eating! read more

I've been hearing about Lucky's Drive-In for awhile now and finally had the opportunity to check it out. Went on a Saturday around 4pm and was fortunate that there wasn't a long wait. The restaurant has a good size parking lot so you won't have issues there. The menu is pretty straight forward and I ordered a double lucky burger which is two patties, cheese, special sauce, onions, pickles and lettuce. There's tables inside and outside so plenty of room to find a spot to eat. The food came out pretty fast and I took my first bite, the burger was delicious. Cooked very well and tasted fresh. The fries were seasoned great! Definitely a great spot for Sacramento! I'll definitely be back again. Thank you Lucky's Drive-In! read more

As a lover of everything vintage, this place was fabulous! The diner drive-in vibe was great with decor indoors and on the patio. The double decker red bus is with going to visit, but you will definitely enjoy the burgers and fries while you are at Lucky's! I had the single burger with fries and a side of garlic aioli, the bun of the burger had a great taste and did a great job holding together the messy and tasteful burger. The sauce on the burger is great, kind of similar to an in-n-out sauce. My hubby got the mushroom and cheese burger and it was delicious, be sure to grab a fork it's even messier! The fries were thick and crunchy and we ordered both ranch and garlic aioli to try and both were tasty! Plenty of parking and again loved the vintage vibe! We will be back and will definitely tell others to visit too! read more

I've been wanting to check out Lucky's Drive-In and finally got to drop in on a Sunday afternoon for a late lunch. Walking in I was surprised to see how clean this place is. I took a moment to glance at the menu and decided to order the Lucky's Double with fries, and a Peanut Butter Banana Shake. I love that you can mix in the flavors for the Shake. First off I just want to say that the service here is amazing. The cashier was patient with me and my friend as this was our first time here. When the food arrived I was surprised to see how big the portions were. The fries were overflowing into the bag and my burger was enormous. Let me just say that Everything tasted amazing as well. The fries were well seasoned, the burger tasted amazing with the soft bun and the shake tasted great! I love how clean everything tastes, I could tell the quality is good here. There is a difference between the food here compared to McDonalds. I didn't have that yucky feeling after eating a meal here. Overall I would highly recommend this place and will be back! read more

We had been meaning to try Lucky's Drive In for some time, and this weekend we arrived early to find an empty parking lot and no line. It was our lucky day! Ugh, that one was bad even for me... Anyway, jokes aside - we went in to a really pleasant, clean dining room and friendly cashier. We ordered a couple of kids meals for the littles, and we both had the mushroom Swiss burger, fries, and shakes. The burger was tasty, if a little small. For the price, I wanted a Jasper's Giant Hamburgers size (old school Sactown referenced IYKYK), but it was adequate and I'm cheap. The fries were surprisingly standout, super tasty and almost a batter fried vibe. They also let us try the four sauces - of which I would say the house made ranch and spicy ketchup were the stars. Shakes were THICK, and the salted caramel was delish. It's going to be dope once the outdoor bus is converted to seating, but the patio had a cool vibe either way. By the time we left the lot was full, and so was the dining room. We'll be back. read more

Took the Vette for a spin and picked up a friend who is a fan of vintage muscle cars, though I think the '74 barely qualifies. We both ordered the BBQ burger with fries and a coke. It was busy and service wasn't fast, but when the pager buzzed, the food arrived hot. Buddy Dave was thrilled with the 50's style diner decor and the food. It was a good outing. We checked out the double decker bus (without going inside). read more

Attended the Trunk or Treat at Lucky's Drive-In with my aunty, cousins and kids. Such a cute experience for the young crowd, free candy and friendly Jeep owners. I was excited to try this place so I tagged along. My first impression was this place is spacious and clean! Far compared to the dive bar that existed here years ago. There was a line, but service was still fast. Looks like they have hard working employees so don't forget to tip. We all ordered a variety of the Lucky Burger, mom added mushrooms and aunty made it double, it has a special thousand island sauce so my cousin didn't like it, she gives it a 3. I ordered the Cherry Coke for $0.99 cents extra, they serve you a clear plastic cup with their homemade maraschino cherrie puree, just top with whatever soda you prefer, I chose Coke Zero. This was bomb, a very classic soda shop Roy Rodger's flavor. Let's not forget the extra crispy fries which were freshly made and delicious. After a few bites of my Lucky Burger I noticed the chopped onions and I love this lil detail. The flavors melded well together from the melted cheese, freshly cooked beef patty, chopped onions and lettuce on a grilled bun with special sauce. This place delivered a classic burger joint experience, with a real home made taste and I was satisfied. I definitely will try their chili and dogs next time. read more

Stopped in this afternoon for the first time and boy I was surprised, excellent food! I ordered the ranch bacon cheeseburger combination, and it was simply delicious. The quality of the beef, the freshness of the bun and lettuce with the yummy cheese and crisp bacon delivered an explosion of satisfaction with every bite. The fries were fresh, yummy and cooked perfectly. To my surprise, they had unsweetened iced tea (my fav) which wasn't on the menu so I was even more pleased. My food was hot and my beverage was cold, just like I like it. And their bathrooms are even clean but seriously they were. Highly recommend and will be back! read more

Just so happened to run into this little spot by accident. Nice and clean inside with a patio area. Burgers weren't big but good size I'd say. I ordered the Bacon Ranch w fries and the wife had the Lucky classic. Best part were the fries! Crispy and soft center. My burger had a lot of Ranch and I wasn't a fan of. Onions could be diced smaller but not a deal breaker. I think the style of ranch killed it for me. Wife's burger had a ton of mayo but over she enjoyed. Service was good with a nice guy taking our order. read more

Glad we came here an. Checked this place out. The staff was super friendly and the atmosphere is laid back and casual. I ordered a bacon cheese burger with garlic aioli and it a side of fries and a blueberry lemonade. The burger tasted extremely fresh and was delicious. The bacon was crispy, the lettuce was fresh and crisp and the bun was fresh and toasted perfectly. The fries were like beer battered fries and were crispy on the outside and soft on the inside, and man that Lucky's sauce for the fries is so good. The blueberry lemonade was was very fresh and had pieces of blueberry in it. My son had a cheeseburger fries and a milkshake. Everything was kiddo approved so you know it has to be good. read more

I was initially drawn here because of the big red double-decker bus in their patio (that you can dine in in the future--soooo exciting!). But I will be returning for their food! Interestingly enough, there is one other Lucky's location in Washington. I'm not sure what brought them over to SacTo, but I'm glad they're here! Their establishment is impeccably clean. Their service is great. And their food is pretty good! I can only speak on their fries, burgers, and milkshakes (which, okay, is majority of their menu), but I understand they also have hot dogs, chili, a chili cheese dog, a burger salad, veggie burger, and a chicken sandwich on their menu. Based on what I've tried, I'm ready to come back for more. My party and I got The Lucky single meal (everything on the burger, add bacon), The Lucky double meal (everything on the burger), and an Oreo milkshake. It was a little pricey, but at this point in time, what isn't? I get it. BURGERS: The burgers, at first, were okay. At its base, it has cheese, their special sauce, onions, pickles, and (chopped) lettuce. Add ons (such as tomato, caramelized onions, etc.) are additional. The added bacon on the single burger was the most disappointing thing. It was very thin and flimsy (think Oscar Mayer microwaveable bacon) and it was cut up on the burger so I'm not sure how many pieces they give you--it was $1.28 to add. I couldn't taste it at all if I'm honest. The thing that really elevated and saved the burger for me was the flavor of the meat. It tasted like they smoked it and it was the most delectable thing. FRIES: The fries were very flavorful and it seems like they are covered in starch to give them an extra crunch. MILKSHAKE: The Oreo milkshake was 10/10. At the bottom there were big chunks of Oreo (a good sign, in my opinion). They have plenty of milkshake flavors and it sounds like they have specialty flavors that are rotated. If every milkshake is as good as the Oreo (and I will be trying each one), don't skip on a milkshake whenever you come here. read more

Hubby found this place while watching reels on FB. We tried it today and we ordered the single burger meal, hotdog and I ordered the chicken breast sandwich with the salted caramel shake. He enjoyed the burger but the hotdog is nothing special, my chicken sandwich is ok just too small for the price. We love the fries and I enjoyed my shake. read more

Lucky's Drive-In is a hidden gem. Service is quick and friendly, and lots of tables to choose from indoors. I love the outdoor patio. It's dog friendly, has lights strung up everywhere, and the double decker bus will hopefully be open soon for seating. The Lucky Single burger was so good, and the fries were super flavorful and extra crispy. The chocolate banana milkshake was honestly the best I've ever had. And the prices?! So affordable for such great quality food. Amazing value and everything was delicious. Will definitely be back! read more

I will definitely be back for burgers at Lucky's. We arrived one evening when they were hosting a Jeep night in the parking lot, it was pretty crowded but the vibes were good. The outdoor eating spot in the back is cute and the sun shade made the outdoor area very manageable. Overall the interior including the bathrooms was very clean which I especially appreciated considering how crowded it was. The burgers and fries were great, but sadly were missing the mushrooms we requested...not a huge deal. read more

My husband has been raving about Lucky's Drive-In so we finally went last night for dinner. It is located close to Broadway and from the outside, it looks like a little dive bar. Once you enter, you are welcomed by the 50's diner interior. Red is my favorite color so I loved seeing it everywhere - even the bathrooms had red subway tiles. We were greeted by a very friendly young woman who took our order at the counter. My daughter was hesitant on the spice level of the Chili, but the young woman offered her a sample to try before she decided which I thought was really nice. She also gave us all the sauces for free since it was my first time visiting and I couldn't decide what to try. We ordered The Double Lucky, the Mushroom and Swiss Burger, Chili Cheese Fries and 2 Cherry Milkshakes. We also had an order of regular fries and a cherry Coke. I really liked the Mushroom and Swiss Burger, but I thought the sauce was a bit too sweet for me - I would maybe add bacon next time to cut that sweetness. The fries were hot and crispy and we thought the Chili Cheese Fries were great as well - the Chili had great flavor. My daughter and I enjoyed our Cherry Milkshakes too! They offer a different flavor of the month milkshake and lavender is the flavor for July, but since I am not a floral fan, I opted for a different flavor. They have a nice outdoor seating area with a double decker bus from London and their bathrooms are super clean. Overall, we really loved coming here! We will be back very soon! Check them out! read more

Unlucky. Family and I were craving a burger after a quick trip to Gunther's (yes, dessert before dinner sometimes) and Lucky's popped up on our Yelp searches. We had high hopes for this cool looking spot, diner vibes that looked great inside and also had a cool bus to check out in their patio area -- should be a hit right?? Wrong. We were "greeted" upon entering, no smile, no actual greeting just a request to order our food. Customer service, 1 out of 5. Food was pretty bad and that's being generous. We bought the Lucky's Burger, Ranch Bacon and a PLAIN cheeseburger for our daughter -- of the three the plain burger probably tasted best. The sauces in our other burgers ruined the taste, too sweet, too salty and too overpowering. The patties also seemed to be frozen patties that had the consistency of a turkey burger. Buns were meh. Fries were also underwhelming, they might've also been frozen junk too -- they also might've accidentally given us a small instead of the large we ordered because the amount seemed less than the other photos i've seen here. The only thing that kept me from giving it a 1-star was that there's a ton of potential here to improve and I hope they do -- until then, we won't be back. read more

Hidden gem! SERVICE: We were greeted by a nice woman who explained the menu to us. She even took extra care when I told her my son has a nut allergy but wanted a milk shake. FOOD: I had their delicious single burger. Everything from the perfectly cooked patty and the delicious sauce it was perfection. We also had the homemade cherry coke. Wow so yummy. AMBIANCE: This place is so cute. The star is the double decker bus in the back. That is what actually attracted us to the place while driving by. Plus the restaurant was very clean. Charming modern classic decor! KID FRIENDLY? Yes! Our kids had a blast hanging out in the patio and checking out the bus. Plus what kid does not love fries, a milk shake and cheese burger. Will I be back? Yes! We love this family friendly new local gem. read more

Lucky's Drive-In - Single cheese burger - Burgers Near Me - Sacramento, California

Came here on a whim never tried it always excited for a new eatery. We ordered the mushroom Swiss burger and fries was about 15 dollars for both and the ranch bacon burger with fries. The Swiss burger threw me off because it was sweet and I didn't see it say anything about being sweet onions or sauce so I didn't enjoy it so much the fries were good but the bacon ranch burger was delicious loved it so much. The service was fast but I had to let establishment know about my experience with the mushroom Swiss burger I let him know it was quite sweet he apologized I said it was ok. The inside is big and has lots of space and seating and seating outside that's were we sat good lighting with a 1950 diner vibe. Jose came outside to us and let me know he tasted the sauce they put on the burger and it was overly sweet so who ever mixed it that day did it he apologized again and gave us a coupon to come back and I appreciated it a lot I will be back thanks Jose. read more

Our experience was just okay. We came on a Sunday for lunch & it wasn't very busy. Oldies music plays in the background to add to the diner vibe. We went to the counter to order & received friendly customer service. The inside was roomy, comfortable, & fairly clean. I did have to wipe crumbs off our table though. Two restrooms require keys to open that are found on the order counter. We used one that was spacious & clean. We checked out the patio in back, but at the time a sign on the door leading out notified that the shade still needed to be replaced. It was a warm day & the sun was brutal. The double decker bus was neat to check out, but it's still just a shell & you should be wary of its hazards. Our eats & drinks-- The Lucky, fries, & drink combo The Double Lucky (ordered plain with just meat & cheese), fries, & shake combo Kids Cheeseburger The verdict-- Strawberry Lemonade--tasty, but no pucker Peanut Butter Oreo Shake of the Month--satisfying & good PB flavor Fries--good taste, great texture Lucky Fry Sauce--too sweet for me without zing Garlic Aioli--mild flavor & wished it had more punch Burgers--They were just meh for us. My Lucky was a decent burger. The bun was fine, lettuce seemed ok, had a lot of sweet sauce, but it wasn't sink-your-teeth-into flavorful or especially beefy tasting. The cheese even seemed like too much of a firm velveeta-esque situation. The Double initially came out as a single, but they apologized & quickly fixed it when it was brought to their attention, which was appreciated. Overall it was ok, but we don't feel compelled to return. read more

Delish! The chili cheese fries were exactly what I had in mind. We ordered a double burger, chili fries, blt, and the mushroom swiss burger. The bun they use is soft and holds up well to the burger. They don't come with tomato, but you can add it. The sauce they use is almost like a thousand island dressing. They have a few different lemonades, we tried the blackberry and lavender, both were great, not fake tasting. Order at counter and take a seat. The patio is super cool, with a double decker bus and strings of lights. They allow pets outside. Bathrooms are super clean. Very cool, chill spot for a burger and fries. Hope we are in Sacramento again soon to try more items. read more

Burger place right near Franklin Blvd and Broadway. The interior design has a bit of old school decor but their back patio area is the nice part with shade and an old double decker gray line bus. Dogs are welcome in the back patio but not inside the restaurant. I got a burger and fries and here is what i thought: Burger was good but i think the bbq sauce overpowered the meat and bun. The fries were crisp and good as well. Overall not a nice place for a burgers, fires and a shake. read more
