Lucky's Café is a charming diner-style restaurant that serves delicious food and offers a wide variety of options on its menu. The restaurant has a local, nostalgic feel and the staff is friendly and welcoming. They also have a full bar with daily drink specials, which is a great feature that sets them apart from other diners.
During my visit, I was impressed that they could accommodate a larger party. I decided to order the chicken fried steak based on the server's recommendation, and while it was just okay, I really enjoyed the gravy that came with it. Other people in my party ordered breakfast food and seemed to enjoy it. The menu also offers vegan and vegetarian dishes, which is a great option for those with dietary restrictions. I would definitely consider going back to Lucky's Café in the future.
