The bartenders are enthusiastic and friendly, the regulars are (for the most part) mellow and welcoming, and there's a nice variety of relatively private Oregon VLT machines if that's your thing. I'll be coming back, for sure. If this place had a slightly bigger crew on-shift to keep up with cleaning and maybe support a food menu, Lucky's would be an easy 5 stars.

Comfy chairs. Lower lighting, well placed. Service was excellent, friendly and fast. I think our server's name was Mikayla; a gem. Attentive and observant but never intrusive. Drinks: my old fashioned was absolutely perfect and my husband's margarita was fine. Appetizers: beer cheese was well balanced and a bit runny, which I prefer over the library paste version some places serve. The elotes dip was a standout, mildly spicy, with lime in the cilantro, and warm, crispy chips. (Whatever is in their seasoning for chips and fries should be sold separately -- I wanted to try it on everything.) We probably should have stopped there, as the portions were abundant, but our mains were amazing. Smash burger was insanely juicy, nice and onion-y with a few Crunchy Brown Bits around the edges. The roll was fresh and tender, with a good crust; flavorful, not just a shingle. The fries were the best I've had in Salem. Get the garlic-thyme upgrade; you won't regret it. My ribeye was cooked perfectly. Unfortunately they were out of both compound butters, apparently due to a busy Friday, but everything was well seasoned. The vegetable of the day was roasted Brussels sprouts with a sweet-and-salty sauce, almost like kettle corn; amazing. The outer leaves were caramelized without being burned, and the hearts were tender but not mushy. Crispy fried onions were perfect. Fried potatoes were fine, and enriched by their placement between the steak and the sprouts. The diners who came in before us were all smiles when they left, so it wasn't a fluke. Can't wait to come back!

We came in an hour before closing were the last ones there and they treated us so well. I would definitely go back and try other foods!

The beers are good pricing and they had some good choices, a variety and a little something for everyone. As for food, I got the black and blue bacon burger and it was amazing. Juicy and not skimpy on the toppings. The fries were crispy and delicious. My husband got the nachos and let me tell you, it's enough for 2-3 people!!! The toppings were mixed through out the nachos and the salsa was homemade and not too spicy. We will be definitely coming back.

We orders the World Famous Cheese Burger (with the title I expected more) -1/2lb Angus beef, with mayonnaise, ketchup, mustard, hamburger relish, lettuce, tomato & onion. $14.95.

We didn't get hamburger relish but we did get a ton onions. This burger could have used a special sauce or something. The only sauce they provided was mayo and not much of it. We opted for a salad and not fries. The salad was fresh and plentiful.

A couple weeks prior to that incident she did something equally dumbfounding..My best friend and I ordered two ciders and when we went back to our table to take a sip we shocked because what we just drank was clearly not a cider but what seemed like AN IPA? So we went back up the bar thinking she made an honest mistake..NOPE! She said "yeah the one you wanted ran out so I just gave you those"... WHAT???! Whyyyyy would two girls who ordered a low percent fruity cider want an 11% dry imperial IPA??!?? WHYYY again would you not give us a choice, and just serve us whatever? You don't know peoples allergies/tolerances (I mean seriously 6 vs. 11 percent is crazy). So over it.. telling all my friends to not come here anymore. Ps. They let people who smell like poopoo and peepee sit at the bar and offend everyone around them with their odor.

Both times I have visited I felt like I am an inconvenience and not very welcomed it's feels very confrontational when we try to even accommodate her by coming the bar to order. She complains to her customers about "too much to do during shift changes." It is not very welcoming and I witness the people who sit at the bar get her undivided attention. And she's very nice and cordial to the people at the bar. But if you sit at a table lookout, you are an inconvenience And she has too much to do at shift change to offer service.
