    Mushroom & Swiss Burger
    Arnel E.

    A bunch of us were hungry after accompanying a friend for a visit to the Med Center. I asked them if they were cool with burgers that weren't In-and-Out and we had a landslide decision. This was my first time here after watching algorithmic ads popping through my feed for months on end. Lucky's was also on my Yelp Sacramento collection so that was that. Parking was a breeze on a Wednesday past 1pm last July. They have a dedicated lot as well as street parking. We entered into a 50's dining room embellished with a front end of a '57 Chevy and that eerie mannequin which seemingly swaps attire as well as changes locations based on posted photos. Let's not forget to mention that red English double-decker bus at the patio and the literal red-room of a (spic & span) toilet. It was warm outside so our group dined-in the air-conditioned interior as opposed to the covered veranda. The bus wasn't available for customers yet. I inhaled my Mushroom and Swiss burger with a side of seasoned fries cooked in beef tallow. Compared to the processed seed oils, beef tallow is a better alternative. Also a plus-plus was the garlic aioli dip which was a worth-it extra 0.49¢. My friends expressed their satisfaction on having an All-American burger meal. I believed they ordered the Lucky Burger and Bacon Ranch Burgers with shakes and sodas. Lucky's is a nice place that feels like a locally owned business and not a venue of another chain eatery. Staff were warm and helpful. And, oh, we met that lady (the real one) from the adverts. She handed me the spatula keychain for the restroom key and encouraged us to explore the patio.

    Blackberry banana shake-the best shake I've had!!

    This is just for their shake and ambience-my bf and i already had a meal and were on the hunt for a sweet treat. We ended up getting their blackberry banana shake and oreo banana. I really loved the ambiance of the place. It had that retro feel with out the dingy feeling I get from that kind of vibe in other old times places. I dont even like milkshakes that much but I love theirs because its made with real fruit and I believe a soft serve base that doesnt make you feel icky and heavy. I really want to try their burgers and fries and will def be back!!

    The burger was classic! I got the Lucky Burger, which is a regular one-patty with a super soft bun. It came with fries and a root beer shake. The atmosphere is great for a date or for groups! The staff was attentive and the service was stellar. I give this spot a 10/10.

    Something about Lucky's always struck me as a perfect Friday night burger spot, like a great low-key treat to wrap up a week. My husband and I met up with our friend for exactly that - a way to wrap up a busy week and also catch up. There was plenty of parking available in the designated lot, and ordering at the counter was a breeze. We ordered lucky burgers and fries, all classic and added lucky sauce and garlic aioli on the side. Everything tasted super fresh and we especially loved the fries and sauces. We didn't get a chance to try out their milkshakes, but we'll be back to try more on the menu! There's also a cool double decker bus and tables in the outdoor seating in the back, which add to the overall good vibes of Lucky's.

    Chili cheese fries and side of chili

    This is our little family's new favorite burger spot. The burgers are always flavorful and juicy. But in my opinion the star of the show for me is the chili!!! I am hooked and when I want a treat I will choose the chili cheese fries from Lucky's every time! Everything is priced well and you get a great portion so you don't leave feeling hungry.

    Stopped here again after work for the bacon burger combo! Always tasty and great service. The place is well kept and clean

    Yum! Had a great first visit at Lucky's. Walking in to this bright, clean, spacious, 50s themed diner, you would never have known it was a dive bar in its last couple iterations. Amazing transformation. The inside is minimal with the diner decor, keeping the place open and uncluttered (although, there's a lady mannequin propped up near the window!). The smaller back patio is also nicely remodeled with their signature red double decker bus, which I hear is very close to being ready for occupation (as of 7/12/26). That will be fun to hang out and eat your burger and fries in there, especially if A/C is provided. The cute patio is also open to leashed dogs that are well behaved. I love that they offer combos with a shake or a fountain drink. You'll find burgers, shakes, fries, chili, and hot dogs. The menu is very reasonably priced too. I got a single Lucky burger combo with a large banana peanut butter chocolate shake (you can mix flavors), upgraded to chili cheese fries, and also ordered a separate fountain drink. The cashier was very friendly, patient, and helpful. Service 10/10. Given a buzzer and found a table inside. Food came up in about 5 minutes. Good burger but had way too many onions (easy fix though). I wouldn't mind a softer bun, but it was fine. The Lucky sauce is similar to thousand island dressing, and they had a few other sauces available that I still need to try. The fries were great! Battered, seasoned, and crispy. Shake was thick and not too sweet. They use real fruit, but not sure if they use real ice cream or soft serve. Either way, it was still delicious. Shake up your burger rotation and support a small, local biz!

    Lucky burger, Fries, and a pineapple shake.

    Food is excellent and the shakes are outstanding! Staff is very friendly and service was fast.

    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.

    Bianca V.

    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!

    Burger was good. Smashed to perfection w/ fresh veggies - a very yummy for the tummy burger. -Chile cheese dog: "spicy ".... Dip your fries in, it works.... - Salted caramel mike shake: WINNER....this thing was good. My go to flavor and this might just took over the #1 Salted caramel shake spot.... -store vibe and feel was very chill. Bice patio w/ a bus in the work. Plenty of parking, easy in and out. -Serving was cool. Took our order and called our number. -Overall: nice spot in cool area. A must check out Sac Town spot.....

    This place is popular on social media so my husband and I had to check this place out! This is a cool spot. The decor is fun to look at. I love that there's options here for everyone. I like the veggie and chicken options. Their shakes are tasty. You can dine in here or take it to go. I did come here before with my in laws and they really enjoyed the hot dog. The latest visit we had, my husband absolutely loved the chili cheese fries. I loved the fries and my chicken sandwich. The people who work here are kind and helpful. The guy to took our order recommended to us a banana shake and I am so glad I took him up on that. It was so good. I look forward to coming back here especially for the fries and shakes!

    Jacoby P.

    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

The staff who took our order was nice and helped us decide on what to get. We started with their crafted bubbles: Passion Fruit with chia seeds and Salted Lemon Plum with mint ($7 each). They're served in large glasses and had to take some to-go. I didn't try the salted lemon plum, but I really liked the passion fruit with chia seeds. It wasn't too sweet and the passion fruit was fresh. The Banh Mi Burger ($17.5) was bomb! The vegan beef patty was hearty and could pass for a beef patty. The fresh cilantro, jalapeños, pickled carrots and cucumber added a nice crunch and kick. I hadn't had tempura green beans in a while and these were a nice change from the usual fries. I forget how much they cost, but they gave a generous amount, enough for a few people to share. They were seasoned perfectly, lightly fried and not too greasy. My friend got a curry noodle bowl and she didn't seem super jazzed about it. I think their burgers are the way to go here!

I enjoyed my carne asada burger, but it wasn't very spicy. The bun was pretty nice though. The fries were really good! I really liked the living wall they have at the restaurant, but I think it's looking a little sad on account that it's winter time.
