Got kicked out of the drive-through by some liberal looking woman because we had a trailer on our truck

Things have changed so much! It's not like it used to be. Pricing and amount of food has really changed! It's changed so much sense George and Peg had it!

I have been going to Lucky Wishbone since I moved here in 1985. I like it so much that I had to bring a visitor that I had up from Florida into try the onion rings and chicken. He agreed it was really good. But I went in there on November 11, 2024 with my son to treat him to lunch. I have never been so dissatisfied with my chicken (Pop) and the onion rings. They were extremely overcooked. The chicken wasn’t even juicy. So I paid over $31 for lunch that I took home because I couldn’t eat it. Gave it to my husband and he also thought it was terrible. I have waited on tables in my lifetime. But I never would’ve served this to my customer, knowing that it was overcooked. so to my waitress I say shame on you. And to the cook, shame on you.

Store is a little dated, but in no way affects the atmosphere. You will feel like you're in a small town dinner back in the 70s.
Little on the pricey side, but it's worth the extra cost. 100% satisfied and actually surprised by taste and quality. Highly

Sophia was a great waitress. I came here with my two kids and my son's friend. We all got different thing. My son went with chicken wings, I got the jumbo burger, my daughter got fries, and the friend got the fried chicken meal. Everyone raved over the fries and the chicken. I also got the corn fritters, which were great. The atmosphere is like an old fashion diner. The restaurant smelled clean, and that is not a given for diners in Alaska. I often gauge a place on if their ventilation is clean, and theirs was. Not an easy feet in a diner - so kudos to them. Everything came out very quickly. I was quite impressed with the timeliness and service.

Still the same old comfortable booths, not packed in tight like so many newer chains have in place. Been going there since the 60's as a kid...and it's still the same, GOOD, comfort food as when I was a kid.
You just can't go wrong here.

A couple of months ago I got food poisoning from this place after eating a burger here. I tried to tell myself it wasn’t food poisoning and was just a bug. I have had two other people that I know eat a burger at that place and either state the burger tastes weird or that they got food poisoning from it. If you have gotten sick after eating a burger here it’s food poisoning.
