Like a gameday bar but they serve food. Quick and no-nonsense diner for burgers or breakfast. Order at the counter and go or grab a seat at the counter. $20 for 3 item Omlette and coffee.

Parking: It’s the gaslamp district and parking is very difficult and expensive

We drove downtown to go to a 1pm Padres game at Petco Park and we were about an hour early. I didn't really want to go inside the park to pay 400% markups on beer and hot dogs and there are plenty of restaurants in downtown so we went to one of the closest ones: Lucky's.

It was amazing to me there were a couple of empty tables outside, completely shaded. We grabbed one and went to the counter to order. There is no server or host. You order at the counter and they'll give you a number for your table when the food comes.

We ordered a couple of beers (two Salty Crew Blonde Ales - which were great), the big 1/2lb cheeseburger ($16.75), a french dip (also $16.75) and a Coke ($5). Total was $54 before tax/tip. $54 won't go very far in the ballpark, so coming here was a great idea.

The burger was massive (1/2lb!) and the french dip included the au jus. Both were very good. Fries were tasty too. They even brought the food out to us in to-go containers, which was very handy!

Overall this place gets a thumbs up and we may stop in here again for future games.

A charming establishment conveniently located a mere block from the stadium offers good food at reasonable prices, distinguishing itself from many other establishments in the vicinity.

The Breakfast burrito tastes mostly eggs, few sausage, vegetables and cheese. So it can hardly be called a burrito. Plus, it was 17bucks, which wasn’t acceptable.
I don’t understand why it has such high ratings.

Good breakfast it was well done everything we ordered. I recommend the omelette. The only thing I would like it was that the juice was in a glass instead of disposable.

Had a great omelet (build your own) with tasty shredded hash browns and rye toast. Not a lot of interaction with the waitstaff and did not get a welcoming vibe. Would still go back for the food.

Ordered the chicken fried chicken. It was good, nothing special. Service was good and fast. Limited seating and menu.
There's other places that I would go to first for breakfast but it's worth trying. Overall a 3.75/5
