But growing up in Chicago where the best gyros, Italian beef and dogs came from places just like it, I felt a sense of nostalgia. I tried a Chicago dog. It was quite good. Vienna Beef dog, poppy seed bun that want over or under steamed. I'll be back. I also tried "the dougie". A grilled cheese and gyro meat sandwich. This is shockingly delicious!

They did mention if we got food it would take 45 minutes... which I was not willing to wait. However, it was packed, lots of people. As it was my first time I didn't not know you had to order in your car or eat at the "bar" on the stools to be served. Which was fine, I just didn't know before coming. It is a cash only so when you come make sure you have that or pay via Venmo. It look like a classic place that people bring their families too enjoy a beautiful day at! Will comeback to try the food another time.

Their food isn't that good either. Way too large of a menu and only a couple of items that they make just okay. On my last visit, I ordered their noodles and mashed potatoes. The potatoes were dry and flavorless. I actually had to add some milk to them and doctor them up once I got home to even make them somewhat edible. The noodles were over salted. I have hyponatremia, so I add salt to EVERYTHING. I couldn't have added salt to these noodles if I wanted to. Oh, and my root beer float was only half full. It was a great place when I was a kid. It's a shame what the new owners have done to the place!

This was at 2:00pm. They were not busy at all, so I suspect the staff set this up so they wouldn't have many customers. I would, however, recommend the Freddy's down the road in Beavercreek. I've always had good experiences there.

Several places to sit inside with opportunities to get regular ice cream and soft serve. Soft serve selections were vanilla, chocolate and flavor of the day strawberry. I opted for a creamy vanilla chocolate swirl on a cake cone. For 2.95, it was a deal and very tasty. There are plenty of opportunities, as you can see from the menu, sundaes, blizzards, cookie sandwiches, individual birthday sundaes with icing and ice cream cakes. I recommend the soft serve. The staff was plentiful, kind and busy with a few orders but my cone came out quickly. Thanks for being there in my journey of needing a soft serve cone!!

Our server, TAYLOR was the best. So friendly, patient, accommodating, and fun. She made our meal experience. The selection of beers is impressive, and Taylor helped my decision with giving me samples of beers. I went with the Imperial Head Hunter and was happy as can be with this IPA, The food? Incredible. We started with mozzarella sticks and faux chicken tenders as appetizers. Both were great. The mango habanero sauce is more sweet than spicy. But both the cheese and chicken tenders were wonderful. Our appetizer +, was the tequila vegan chili. We don't find veggie chili very often, but this was prepared with veggie chili, beans and soyrizo. It was wonderful. My wife chose the jackfruit Reuben sandwich. Those of us that are vegetarian, miss favorites like Reuben sandwiches. This jackfruit Reuben met the challenge. Delicious and plentiful. I had the Fierro burger with an impossible patty. Definitely not as spicy as I wanted, but delicious nonetheless. Lucky's was a fun place either way, great food, cold beer, lots of vegan options, and a friendly staff. Go there!

It has a Thai-style Marinade, with Peanut Butter, Fresh Cilantro, Cucumbers, Pickled Carrots, Jalapeños, and Sriracha Sauce. I've had peanut butter on burgers elsewhere but those are just a gimmick and don't have thought behind them. Thai food often has peanuts, so this combination makes sense and is fantastic! The restaurant itself is a bit of a hole in the wall. Nothing fancy but they have a lot of interesting and yummy sounding dishes, with many vegetarian and vegan options. I'd love to try other items but just can't pull myself away from The Cobra. They also have a good beer selection and the servers are friendly. Food came out quickly and several people checked in on us to make sure everything was good.
