Heard this place was still open. It was a childhood favorite. Service was quick. Lots of cars out front. Should have kept the nostalgic dream because I was disappointed. My gizzards were fried in fish grease and were not good at all. The fries were hard, the Cole slaw was more mayo than anything and the toast was hard. I tried it but the childhood memory will have to suffice. read more

I was in the area and wanted to check this place out. There were some good as well as bad parts of here. Let's start with the bad. The staff is def not friendly or welcoming. They didn't say hi or anything and I placed my order anyways. If you are the type that doesn't like your food touching, def not the place for you since the fries were just poured on top of everything.. The ones over the bbq weren't bad, but the ones in the beans not too great of a flavor lol. The fries were plain and not seasoned, and the beans were nothing special either. Now the good parts of it. I tried the hot links and they were very good and tasted like they are smoked which added an amazing flavor. I really liked the bbq sauce as well.. Had a slight kick which was really good, especially on hot links. Overall would I return here? Unsure, but decent food and really good links at a great price for everything, can't beat. The prices online are wrong though, and the hot link plate was $8.99 instead of the $6.49 on their downloadable menu, but not bad considering prices are going up everywhere right now. read more

Look, I understand that they are not going to win a BBQ Award from whatever pit-master show you watch but I do know this. If you have $12 in your pocket and you want chicken, hot link and ribs with fries smothered in BBQ sauce. This is where you want to go. Thank me later and don't be deterred by the neighborhood or location. Now, you will hear some yelling to the cooks when you start to order and maybe not get a greeting when you walk in but that's because it's supposed to feel like home. enjoy. read more

The last time I ate at a Good Luck was in 1975. This is the only one left, so after a doctor's appointment I got the hot link basket to go. The links were not good, borderline terrible. Fries were soggy and stale and the beans were dry and lacked seasoning. Not sure if I'll be back, but if I do hot links are a no go. read more

There are hole-in-the-walls, and then there are hole-in-the-walls with bars on the windows in areas of town that is better to see the light of day. This is the latter and soooooo worth the trip. Good Luck is one of those places that has been around for a long time (the faded sign and decor proves that), that knows their bbq and scares vegetarians away. Starting with almost too many choices, I went witht he BBQ Plate. $7.49 and piled with food. Two Pieces of chicken, one hot link and one large rib, plus fries and Texas toast. It was served in your standard large styrofoam clamshell, but with so much food, they wrapped it with plastic wrap to keep it all in....... nice. And an inch stack of napkins to boot. As for the food? Great BBQ sauce, moist chicken, meaty rib and the hot link was really good with a hint of spice at the end. The fries were crispy and the toast was well, toast? Really, that's not important..... the meat was what I came for and I am sure not hungry after that meal. Make your way there, it's only minutes from downtown Ft Worth and two minutes off of 35W. And get it to go................... Enjoy read more

I came to Good Luck Drive in today for the 1st time off a coworkers advice. I will say I was lucky he told me about it. The employees were courteous and the interior is small but cozy. I got the Links plate. It comes with 3 big links, French fries, beans and Texas toast I paid $6.81!!! What a deal!It was all delicious. The beans tasted like a blend of Ranch Style beans and BBQ beans. The links have a nice firm bite to them. They are smoky and deceptively spicy. I have been done eating for about 15 mins and I still get the spice. It's not overwhelming. It is a good flavorful spice. I will definitely be back for more. I want to try the BBQ chicken!!! I highly recommend you give this place a chance. read more

Really good chicken, sausage, BBQ sauce, and prices! First time coming, I got the BBQ plate ($8.97) - 2 chicken pieces (not sure what part), 1 sausage link, 1 rib, fries and toast. The meat were all on one side and smothered in BBQ sauce. The good: Prices are pretty good. There are plenty of daily specials and deals that are good for the amount of food you get. Chicken is super tender and flavorful - you could even eat the bone without noticing it. Sausage was very flavorful without being too strong. BBQ sauce smothered over the meat is good - not too peppery or sweet, but a nice smokey flavor. The bad: Isn't the cleanest place, so that might be a turn-off. Fries were under-seasoned. Texas toast was buttered up. Fries/toast are just average and nothing to rave about at all - same price even if you get basket/plate without them. The ribs were a little dry, tough, and lacked flavor - wouldn't recommend. I will definitely come again, but stick to the chicken and sausage. read more

So yes, this continues to be a great place to take out. I still don't recommend eating in since it's kind of small and other reasons. The quarter inch chicken plate is still our go to option. We did try the cut beef sandwich but that was basically a sloppy joe that was too sweet. We also tried the chicken fried stake and that was way too salty. Also I don't understand why they added mayonnaise in the side of the salad, that was unneeded and I'm wondering if they mistook it for ranch lol. Besides those bad plates, the onion rings were amazing! I'll mostly continue with their signature BBQ plate but I'll be adding those delicious rings from here on out. Also the restaurant is connected to a gas station so it's a good idea to walk there for a good variety of drinks. With the affordable prices, Its only natural to continue to try out different plates. I'll be back to test/taste things out. read more

Look, if you are looking for a good cheap meal from a hole in the wall with rude staff running the joint, this is the place for you! Good Luck was actually pretty decent for the price. I was referred to this place by a fellow Yelper and my colleague and it turned out to be pretty good. The only thing I was disappointed in was the amount of barbecue sauce they pour on the chicken. The chicken was actually quite tasty and moist. I didn't care for the frozen store bought french fries but again you have to keep in mind I received a leg quater, fries, and a piece of Texas toast for $3.15!!! Where can you ever beat this price? NOWHERE! I will probably return when in search for a decent cheap meal on a night I don't feel like cooking and want to feel like I got out the house for a bit. read more

"Sabar BBQ: Where the lamb ribs made me want to high five a stranger."…read more TL;DR: Get there early, order the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, let Zain carve you a plate of happiness, and prepare to have your taste buds do a Texas two-step with Pakistani spices. Worth every minute of the wait. This one's climbing my top 50 list faster than a brisket disappears at a family reunion. After one failed mission to Sabar BBQ, where I showed up too late and found an empty pit (and an emptier stomach), I came back like a man on a barbecue pilgrimage. The sun was blazing, the line was growing, and I wasn't about to be left holding nothing but a napkin this time. Pitmaster Zain Shafi runs this blue trailer like a flavor command center. The smell hit me halfway through the line and had me grinning like a kid at the state fair. I made my move when it was my turn, and if you know me, you know lamb is my kryptonite. I ordered the Sichuan Lamb Ribs, then couldn't stop myself from adding brisket and Tandoori Turkey. The sides? Kachumber Salad and Daal Chawaal, because even Uncle Sean needs balance in life. Zain loaded everything up, tossed it all on top of some naan for good measure, and sent me to my table like a champion headed to the winner's circle. The first bite of lamb ribs nearly had me proposing to the pit. Spicy, tender, smoky perfection with a bark that made my heart sing. The brisket was rich and juicy, the turkey came with that tandoori kick that slapped me awake in the best way possible. The sauces just tied the whole thing together like a big barbecue hug. The yogurt mint cilantro sauce was made to cool and lift the brisket and turkey to a whole new level. The red sauce packed a punch and paired with the lamb like it was born for the job. I boxed up some leftovers for my wife, the Side Dish Queen herself, because a man who doesn't bring home naan from Sabar BBQ is a man sleeping on the couch. She confirmed what I already knew: this was next-level barbecue, the kind that earns legends and long lines. Sabar BBQ is only open on weekends, and only fools show up late. I won't make that mistake again. This was stop number 15 on my Texas Monthly Top 50 journey, leaving me with 35 more glorious BBQ pilgrimages ahead before the passport is full and my belt officially waves the white flag. If loving these lamb ribs is wrong, I don't wanna be rib-right.

With a bit more seasoning and flavor, the sides could be the hit of the location, and this I think will come with time and practice. Tried the greens (little bland, but wonderful texture), Mac and Cheese (actually seasoning was spot on), and beans (with meat...meh). The greens and MC were the hits for sure. Brisket was on the dry side, maybe overcooked, and could have used some better trimming before cooking I think. Did not try sausages or chicken, but both looked appetizing. They are still dialing in their pits is my guess, and expect cook quality to improve with a time. Quality of meat may also be worth considering. Overal, Brown's is definitely worth a visit, and as they find their groove they could be a contender. Right now would put them at a fair 3.5 stars, but the energy, great attitude (smiles means repeat business), and great beginnings is worthy of 4 stars even now, and a welcome addition to the neighborhood!

They sides are ok the elote was delicious the Mac and cheese was ok and the beans were good but we must have gotten the new batch it needed a little bit more cooking. Can't wait to go back. If in Arlington this is one you will want to stop at.

Nice small food park in Dalworthington Gardens/Central Arlington…read more I just happened by on a Monday but the trucks were in hibernation mode. I came back on early Saturday evening after a nice cooling rain. It was pleasantly not crowded. I got a couple of empanadas from one truck and a couple of smash burgers from another. Both items were delicious. When I go back, I want to try something from the hibachi grill. I got an Oakcliff smashburger and my son enjoyed a Dallas. We loved our burgers. You could tell they were made fresh with chunks of avocado and bacon for me! The empanadas were good if a bit small. The dough pocket could have been premade, so I'll have to try something else from that food truck. That's the beauty and draw of a food truck park as pi your able to try have what you want and still eat together! I hope people come out and give this place a try. Come check it out, they got something for nearly everybody!

I already love this place because I can bring my dogs, and that's always a big plus for me. I just wish their dog park was a little bigger and maybe had a few more things in there. I just want the best for my dogs. Other than that, everything was nice. The drinks were really good and they have so many different options to choose from. The staff working there were also really nice, especially the one helping us out. I forgot to catch his name, but you'll probably spot him in one of the pictures. He was super sweet and helped us decide what drinks to get. All of my dogs really enjoyed it too. I didn't ask, but I do wish they had some kind of dog menu so they could enjoy something too. They do have cold water for the dogs though, which was really nice. It was pretty hot when we went, but they had fans going all around, and if you want, they also have indoor seating. Overall, it's just a really vibey place and I always enjoy coming here.

Ribs were good but looked oddly brown - maybe put in a steamer? Smoked turkey was okay - tender and not overly smoky. Potato salad was bland, Cole slaw was even more bland. Pinto beans were surprisingly good! We asked about bread after getting our food and were told bread comes with a meat dinner. Oops! They would get it - but didn't and we then asked again just for the principle of it all. When the rolls came, cold, hard and not worth even a bite. Everyone working there was polite and attentive. ( One note- the trivia music was SO loud you couldn't hear or talk comfortably.) Probably not worth repeating. Oh, and we were only one of two tables eating.

Upset stomach was not appreciated. They call it Good Luck because of the saying "Good Luck not getting the squirts!" I think it may have something to do with the frying oil. You will remember this review the next day if you go here. read more

I placed an online order for a burger, and when I received it, it was excessively salty. The online description did not indicate that the burger would be prepared with this amount of seasoning, nor was there an option provided during ordering to request that the seasoning be removed. When I brought this to the employee's attention, he immediately became defensive and insisted that I should have requested no seasoning, despite that not being presented as an option when I placed my order. I returned to the restaurant to request a refund, and instead of handling the situation professionally, he initiated an argument and began yelling at me to leave. To make matters worse, the initial refund amount he provided was incorrect! After I left the restaurant, he followed me outside to my vehicle and began taking pictures of my license plate. I found this behavior extremely inappropriate and intimidating, particularly after an already hostile confrontation inside the restaurant. I left this establishment feeling extremely uncomfortable, frightened, and concerned for the safety and privacy of myself and my family. No customer should be subjected to yelling, intimidation, or being followed to their vehicle simply because they raised a legitimate concern about their order and requested a refund. To make matters worse, he started obsessively calling and harassing me in the middle of the night! He unlawfully retrieved my number from the ordering database and called from his personal phone.

Think Cracker Barrel vibes, with farmhouse antiques on display and funny sayings on the walls. Pancakes this good = 5 stars. And we know pancakes. Eggs and bacon (a good, meaty cut) were also great, sausage patties were decent on our first visit and outstanding on our second visit. The pancake combo had a good amount of protein to balance the sweet of the pancake and was A LOT of food for only $13.99 (pancake, 2 eggs, 2 bacon, sausage, hash browns, biscuits and gravy or toast). When I first tasted the pancake, my thought was, "Ohhh, man, I'm gonna need three of these delicious babies," but actually by the time I finished it, one was more than enough. The men said the same - they were too full to finish. Breakfast burrito was great, with hash browns mixed into it, a good amount of melty cheese, not too spicy with the jalapeños. There is a lot to choose from on the menu, and you can get almost anything a la carte so that you can order *precisely* what you are in the mood for. For the real test we took a party of seven on a Saturday morning. It was surprisingly not too busy to get a table right away. They got prepared to seat a party of seven, but like a lot of restaurants, won't actually seat you until the entire party arrives. It went perfectly. We also did not have trouble finding a parking spot. For those of you interested in supporting local, Blue Mound Cafes were started by a local family in 2020. It's an outstanding restaurant for breakfast and old-time-country-restaurant lovers.

I often come here and get the five piece chicken tenders for my father and I order several chicken breasts. Their chicken breasts are exquisite. I would've given this place five stars had not been for the service last visit. I went through the drive-through and ordered our typical order with six extra bread rolls, because those are some of our favorite. We get home, I opened the order, and there's no bread rolls, and we were missing two chicken breasts! I looked at the receipt, and sure enough we had paid for those, but they forgot to include them. So not wanting to cause a big kerfuffle, I got back in the car drove the five minutes down the street back to Lisa's, but they were closing as it was just at 10 PM. I drove through the drive-through window tapped on the glass and a woman opened the glass, telling me they were closed. I kindly explained to her that we did not get all of our order. She looked at me, rolled her eyes and said I'm sorry we're out of chicken. We have no more left. I asked her may I please have my bread rolls down. Not saying a word she slams the window, goes in for about five minutes, comes back out and just tosses the rolls to me and slams the window. No apology no we're sorry. No come back later and get your chicken tomorrow. It was awful. This woman needs a lesson in customer service, so don't come here expecting good customer service, and check your order every time you leave. This is not the first time I've ordered from here and did not get my full order.
