Highly recommend the avocado goat cheese BLT! Service was a little slow, but the dude was nice. Please turn the heat on in this cold weather! LOL

1st time trying and I’m disappointed. Kale salad was over priced and the kale was very hard and bitter, Did not like the taste at all. Also tried tea and the tea was warm and smelled like sink water. Couldn’t enjoy anything. The environment is very dark and cold. The place is more like on old bar then a restaurant.

This was one of the most wild dining experiences I've had in awhile, bucke up. Came here on Halloween evening with my wife. Place was dead except the bar. We sat at a table and that is when our adventure began.
We ordered the chicken tenders w/ sweet potatoes fries and a avocado BLT w/ regular fries and ordered a moscow mule and whisey and sprite at the same time. Our drinks never came. My wife got her order (without her modifications, not tomato which isnt a big deal) and I got a chicken sandwich. When I told the waitress my order was wrong she said she was sorry and would comp my part of the meal. That was not necessary but appreciated, we also mentioned our missing drinks. Waitress apologized again and got my drink right but rang my wife in a margarita?
My chicken tenders finally arrived. Food was great as usual but the drinks were tough. My wife's was undrinkable. We ended up asking for her drink to be taken off the bill.
After finishing our food, we waited 15 minutes then had to go up to the waitress to cash us out. When we got the bill my drink was rang as a stoli and coke and my tender meal was till on the tab. We asked the waitress about it and she got an attitude and went to the register then came back and said our whole meal was comped and we were good to go. We felt really bad and tried to insist on paying. We would have liked to pay and give her a tip, especially since we went to support a local business.
Food 5/5. Service high/5.
We are pro small business and 420 friendly. But this waitress was in the space time continuum. She stood at the register with a food menu trying to remember ours and the 1 other table in the restaurants order for a very long time (she got their drinks and food order wrong as well).
We will be back. But may stick to sitting at the bar.

Currently sitting at 4.5 stars at over 1500 reviews, perhaps you should take this review with a grain of salt, but it’s been a long time since I’ve felt out of place and completely unwelcome at an establishment. To paint the picture, I walked in with a polite smile and eagerness to order a nice drink and good food. I was wearing a NASA Halloween costume. Nothing about my image was off-putting. Still, the bartender addressed me as if my mere presence disgusted him. I felt uncomfortable and left without completing my order. I didn’t make a fuss about it or cause a scene. I don’t dine in where I’m unwelcome. For reference, I travel the world. So perhaps my expectations of customer service and acceptance are different from the culture here. But I didn’t like it. The only voice/power I have is in my review.

I've been going to Lucky's on and off for approximately the past 15 years. I'm not a down-town, hanger-outer per say. You couldn't call me a regular anywhere. However, if I want a laid back place for a fancy-ass beer, a decent burger, where people will leave me be, I wouldn't be ashamed to take a lunch date or my own mother to, that doesn't have that absolutely sterile, gray-modern vibe, then Lucky's is a-okay in my book.
Their beer selection never disappoints, the atmosphere is neither pretentious, nor trashy. The beer-battered chicken tenders are solid; however, I'm a little disappointed they don't give you a selection of which beer to batter them in anymore. Their vegan chocolate cake is quite nice, as it's always been.
So, if you want a perfectly average experience, for a perfectly average lunch (Reminder: Average AIN'T BAD...it means CONSISTENT) you'll find no other venue as hospitable!

Vegan options galore, that are tasty to boot. The vegan chocolate cake is one of the best I've had, and it held up perfectly til the next day.
Great food, lots of vegetarian options. Certainly one of our go-to spots for a vegetarian meal. Obviously they have tons of non-veg options so don’t get me confused. Environment is a bar so….
Take out is great I’ve called it in many times. Easy peasy. You should check it out!

Stopped in Labor Day weekend of 2025. From Columbus not usually in Dayton. First of all the server was extremely friendly and helpful. He was very accommodating as we had some special requests and some dietary restrictions. Food was very good ! Burgers great ! Chicken panini sandwich was awesome !! Soup great. Would recommend for sure. Will stop back next time I'm in town.

We stopped in close to midnight on Saturday and tried the soup of the day, a Bacon Chicken Ranch Potato soup, if I remember right. It turned out to be one of the best soups any of us have ever had; we were genuinely impressed. Our server was one of the nicest and funniest guys we’ve ever met, extremely attentive and courteous. The service was outstanding, and the atmosphere couldn’t have been better.

This place gives you hometown family feel with some amazing food to go with it. I had the Cajun pasta and omg it’s amazing, my boyfriend had a burger and liked his too. The beer list is long and there’s something for all different beer drinkers. But most importantly Chris was our server and he was incredible. Thanks for the great service and family feel Chris and the rest of the Luckys crew! We will be back!
