Im always looking for a great spot to eat at and Lukes doesn't disappoint. Food was good. I give it 4 đs..Service was AMAZING đ 5 đs and atmosphere feels like a great family owned local eatery, it was small and busy but not packed or too uncomfortable. I had the Italian beef with sausage combo and the food was practically out before I could finish paying for it...never had service that fast. Definitely recommend trying it out.

The peppers and cheese they offer to add for an extra charge should be included on the Italian beef because it's literally just meat and bread. Add some onions too. It was ok but the bread was soggy from the au jus. I may give it another try but if I do I'll be ordering something else.q

This was the first time I've eaten at Luke's and I met an old friend for lunch. The roast beef was very tender and delicious! Probably the best I've had in a long time. To be honest I was surprised at the quality of the food for such a small restaurant. Even the fountain drinks were well mixed and not watered down like a lot of places. My friend and I talked for hours yet we never felt like we were staying too long or being rushed. The staff even offered us refills on our drinks multiple times. Everyone was friendly and courteous. I'll definitely come back soon as I'm going to bring another friend who's anxious to try the delicious food. Wherever you are it's worth the trip for a roast beef sandwich you'll love!

This place is delicious. The staff is so very friendly! Had the pastrami and it was perfect. Best in Tucson by far. đ Also it is very clean.
Instead, she just stared at me like I had asked her to cook a five-course meal from scratch. No words, no explanationâjust a cold, annoyed glare and a silent shake of the head. I was taken aback, thinking maybe she was joking. I even chuckled nervously and explained why I was asking. But again, not a single wordâjust another head shake and that same dead-eyed stare. No customer service. No professionalism. No courtesy.
It felt incredibly disrespectfulâlike my business wasnât wanted, like I had personally offended her by making the tiniest, most reasonable request. I wasnât rude. I wasnât demanding. I just asked for the fries to be put in a separate container, and somehow that was too much.
There were no other customers in the restaurant. She wasnât overwhelmed. She wasnât busy. She was just being flat-out rude and dismissive for no reason. The look on her face and her body language made it clear: she didnât care about me, my loyalty, or my business. And as I turned and walked out, I heard one of the employees whisper, âWhat happened?ââwhich shows even they knew something wasnât right.
Iâve never been treated like that at Lukeâs in all my years of going there. I can honestly say Iâve never been treated that disrespectfully at ANY restaurant Iâve ever stepped foot in.
So let me say this directly: Lukeâs lost a loyal, longtime customer because of Mrs. Lukeâs rude, cold, and frankly nasty behavior. Thereâs no excuse for that kind of attitude, especially from someone who is supposed to be the face of a family-run business.
Itâs sad because the food was good, but the service has clearly gone downhillâand now itâs downright hostile. Mrs. Luke does NOT belong in the front of a restaurant with that attitude. If sheâs going to treat customers like theyâre a burden, sheâs going to keep pushing people away. And I know Iâm not the only one who feels this way.
Weâve already found a new placeâBig Dawgs on Thornydale. Itâs farther, but you know what? Itâs worth every extra mile to be treated like a human being by staff who actually appreciate your business. The food is great, and more importantly, the people are kind, professional, and welcomingâeverything Lukeâs used to be, but no longer is.
So again, thank you Mrs. Lukeâfor showing me exactly what kind of business youâre running now. You didnât just lose a saleâyou lost a loyal customer for life. And Iâm not staying quiet about it. People deserve to know how they might be treated when they walk through your doors.

OMG! Soo many delicious things to choose from, i got a polish with fries. It was quite big as well and very good. The lemonade is top line! Price is fair. You can dine in or eat outside on the patio. Will try the Italian beef next visit.

Let me be very clearâI have been, and let me emphasize been as in no longer, a fan of Lukeâs for over 40 years. My fiancĂ©e and I were loyal customers. We would literally show up for breakfast before the doors even opened, just to enjoy our favorite meals and support a local business. Iâm also a local business owner myself, so I understand how important it is to support the community. For decades, Lukeâs was our go-to spot.
But on July 8th, 2025, that all changedâpermanently.
I went in like usual to pick up our regular order: a Chicago dog for my fiancĂ©e, an Italian sausage for myself. Simple, right? All I askedâvery politelyâwas if Mrs. Luke could please separate the fries from the hot dog, since we were going to be driving farther than usual and didnât want soggy fries. A basic, common-sense request that any decent restaurant would gladly accommodate.
Instead, she just stared at me like I had asked her to cook a five-course meal from scratch. No words, no explanationâjust a cold, annoyed glare and a silent shake of the head. I was taken aback, thinking maybe she was joking. I even chuckled nervously and explained why I was asking. But again, not a single wordâjust another head shake and that same dead-eyed stare.
