“Very clean place, no frills neighborhood bar.The place needs to at least have a sign that says firehouse! It just looks like a plain white house, my friends have had a hard time trying to find it.At least paint a "Firehouse with fire trucks" or even better do huge flames ? to make it stand out. It always looks like it is closed, empty and uninviting.“

“Just a note for any Google personnel reading this. I did not stop at this bar, and have no clue where it even is located. Sono idea why Google wants me to rate an establishment I have never visited. Very strange. Your system needs work.I'd give the review one star over Google screwing up. But that's not fair to the bar. 5 stars simply because their rating shouldn't suffer over Google maps being stupid. If this is a Google AI test, it failed miserably.“

Lucky Penny's Bar • $
2450 W Grass Lake Rd Unit E & F, Lindenhurst - 5.42 miles

“I recently visited Lucky’s Penny, and I must say it’s an absolute gem! This place effortlessly combines the thrill of gaming, delicious food, and a lively atmosphere to create a perfect hangout spot. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted by a warm, inviting ambiance that set the tone for a fantastic evening.

One of the standout features is the variety of activities available. Whether you're looking to try your luck at the slot machines, engage in some friendly competition with a range of other games, or simply relax with a drink, Lucky’s Penny has it all. The slot machines were particularly fun, providing just the right amount of excitement and the chance to win some extra cash.

The food here is another highlight. We ordered the pizza, and it was outstanding. The crust was perfectly crispy, the toppings were fresh and flavorful, and the cheese melted just right. It’s evident that they put a lot of care into their food, and it shows.

And let's not forget the drinks! I was particularly impressed by the way they fill the beer glass, ensuring a perfect pour every time. The selection of drinks is extensive, catering to all tastes and preferences. Whether you’re a beer lover or prefer cocktails, there’s something for everyone.

Lucky’s Penny is more than just a place to eat and drink; it’s a complete entertainment experience. The combination of great food, fun games, and a vibrant atmosphere makes it a must-visit spot. I highly recommend Lucky’s Penny to anyone looking for a fun night out. It’s the perfect place to unwind, have fun, and make some great memories. Five stars all the way!“

I went there another time and they had 3 bands playing rock and roll. They were all great! I got people up dancing and then we really starting having a really great time! Another time I stopped in after church. I didn’t know anyone but everyone there felt like we were friends for years. Sorta like the TV show “Cheers”. I had a great time every time I was there. Again, I love this place!“

“This restaurant could probably survive (with some lower cost) outside of a theme park. I only have tried one thing, the pulled cajun chicken and Mac and cheese) and they were really good. There's a selection of sauces at your table. If you have a dining pass, I would suggest visiting this place. If you don't, it will cost you a good penny (18-16 per entree, that does include a side).“
