I was in Columbia on a work trip for the state fair. I met a local couple at the fair . We talked about good food and burgers. He and his wife asked where I stayed then told me if I wanted a good burger Luckies was the spot. After the fair one night, I stopped by Lucky's The ladies were great . I had the BLT Cheese burger, Fries, and Sweet tea. Very good and large portions I also enjoyed the live music and atmosphere.

Food is great. Service is horrendous unless you're a regular. We waited almost a half hour for our check and asked the male bartender 4 different times for the check. Eventually we got up to leave and finally got the check as we entered the parking lot. Probably wont be back anytime soon

If you’ve ever wondered what happens when a small-town burger joint gets everything exactly right, you’ll find your answer tucked away in Irmo at Lucky’s Burger Shack. This place isn’t trying to reinvent the burger—it’s just making sure yours tastes like the one you’ve been dreaming about since you were a kid. And somehow, they pull it off every single time.
The moment you walk in, you get that “I might be here longer than I planned” vibe. The smell of sizzling beef on the flat top has you questioning if you really needed to run those errands, or if this burger is the errand. The menu is straightforward—no nonsense, no 47 toppings you can’t pronounce—just burgers, fries, and a few tasty extras done to perfection.
The patty? Juicy enough to make you reach for extra napkins before you’ve even taken your first bite. The buns? Lightly toasted with just the right amount of give—like they were designed specifically to cradle beef. And the toppings? Crisp lettuce, fresh tomato, and that melty cheese that oozes just enough to make you smile without ruining your shirt… most of the time. (Pro tip: don’t wear white if you’re going “double bacon cheeseburger” level.)
The fries are golden, crispy, and seasoned like they’ve been to culinary school. Even better, the portions are generous enough to share—but you won’t. And if you’re feeling fancy, the onion rings deserve their own round of applause.
Service here is warm and quick, with the kind of friendliness that makes you feel like a regular on your first visit. You can tell the staff cares about the food and the people eating it, which, let’s be honest, is rarer than it should be.
Lucky’s isn’t just a burger joint—it’s the place where cheat days feel like a holiday, where the only tough decision is “Do I get dessert… or just another burger?” In Irmo, that’s an easy answer: go for both.
If burgers are a religion, Lucky’s Burger Shack is a little slice of heaven—minus the guilt, plus extra fries.
Daily specials during the week.

This is a great place!. The food is insanely delicious, fresh with large portions. I had the chilli burger with fries. The fries were golden brown and crispy... loved them!! Dinner was out of this world! There is also a pool table. I had a long island ice tea that was made PERFECTLY!!! Lots of parking with a nice sized bar, plenty of tables- definitely a place to go back to!!!! You will enjoy it here... I did. Definitely worth going

This is a hidden place with an amazing atmosphere and food. I was invited here for the 1st time and was blown away by the menu. I got the burger and it was absolutely amazing. I can't wait to go get a Sunday brunch one day. I will be back. Why 4 stars and not 5.... Parking was a challenge for sure.

I didn't get my change back and had to ask from it back from a woman with a backwards hat, i dont know if she was a server or not. $12 in change, this has never happened to me before until now. I hope this problem doesn't continue. I've been going for years.
We are in town for a ball tournament and try to support local. This place was amazing! The service was so genuinely friendly start to finish from every staff member.
BEST REUBEN IVE HAD TRULY. I threw some of their onion straws (also delish!) on it and man I’m so full but want another! (Writing this from the table because I had to make sure they got the review they deserve)
Thank y’all! It was amazing! My stepdad said his burger was awesome also

Not friendly from the minute we walked through the door. On 7/5/25 around 12:15 pm we decided to go to Lucky’s Irmo for lunch. We were never greeted once and it wasn’t very busy. We decided to pick a table outside which it was a pleasant temperature. Five mins went by so my husband went inside and got us a menu. Another 10 mins went by and finally a young lady asked what we would like. Both my husband and I wanted a lite lunch so we both ordered the jr burger with cheese. We received our food and it was very good but when given the bill we noticed she charged us for the lil burger, about a $4 difference. When we brought this to the attention of our waitress she immediately blamed us and got very defensive. Told us we needed to order properly next time and we needed to directly specify a kids meal. “Kids meal” was stated this very loud as if she was wanting to embarrass us. She left and returned with an even worse attitude. First thing she said was,”well how did you want to handle this?” Again telling us we ordered wrong. She then proceeded to tell us “we don’t have to tip her, she didn’t want it”. I was appalled at her behavior. The tip she was going to get was put right back in my wallet. I won’t be coming back if this is how customers are treated.
