    It wasn't bad. It just was not good. I get the concept, but I don't think it's for me. First off, the drinks. We each got one at the bar while waiting for our table. I enjoyed mine, but my dining companion's (the Saturn) tasted like straight juice. With dinner, I wanted to get a draft beer and was able to sample the two IPAs. While one was tasty, I didn't order one because the beer was lukewarm. I got a burger, and companion got the black cod. The burger is $32 and a full pound and served with a heap of fries. For the price, less than impressed. The overly thick patty was just too much. It was dry and just not for me. I would rather have two well-seasoned and juicy thinner patties. The fries and sauce were good. But not $32 worth of good. The cod itself was decent but it came in a sauce that was cold and odd tasting. Ambiance is fine. It was loud and crowded, but clean. Service was friendly.

    The second you walk into Good Luck you can feel the good vibes. We made a reservation for two and were seated immediately upon arrival. I loved that there's a free coat check, it was very helpful due to the rainy weather. The menu may seem short, but we wanted to try every item. We ended up trying the Ox tail ragout which was so rich and decadent and full of flavor. The bread was an excellent mode of delivery. The Burger was HUGE. Definitely made to share. The fries were crispy. The burger was juicy and melted in my mouth, a must try. We also got free champagne since we were celebrating. The drink menu itself is presented in an interesting manner with something for everyone's taste. Good Luck was an excellent experience from start to finish

    We popped in for just some drinks. Service was quick. I tried the kitsune and French 75. The kitsune was actually spicy with wasabi flavor and I liked how it was served over crushed ice. The French 75 was well made. Definitely want to try food next time.

    Good luck is one of your weekly-monthly go to restaurants :) Absolutely love the vibe and I always pick bar seats! I love the bartenders as they are great mixologists and make the best drink, on demand; even if I go off menu ;) I recently went for their fried chicken night which was great; crispy chicken with a side of fries hit the spot I can't say enough about the baklava cheese cake, it was so moist and delicious!! If it's not be menu it's a must have Their drinks are always amazing - I love the violently citrus and the Sunday shirt!

    Nice variety of large shared plates! All orders are family style ! You've come here several times! Although it is probably on the pricey side, most of the dishes are very tasty - especially the large burger and fries! We always order the burger and fries that's been cut into fourth and the wonderful fries, the kale, Caesar salad, hummus chicken. They have new offerings, sprinkled with into the menu every now and then. The cocktails are interesting mix of items that normally would not be together. Will definitely return.

    Alright I have now been to good luck twice. The first time I was very disappointed with my pasta dish because the portion was extremely small and they advertise that meals are family style. I decided to give it another chance, and I came back to get what they're known for, the burger. So as soon as they placed the burger on our table, we saw that the fries were completely burnt. They tasted totally burnt, they were just not good at all. And my friend was telling me how they are usually really good so I was really disappointed but we didnt want to be the jerks who sent something back. So my friend finally mustered up the courage to tell the guy that our fries were very burnt and didn't taste good - and the guy said "yeah I actually felt really bad giving you guys those fries, I can get you a new side of them" We were totally baffled. You knew that you placed totally burnt, basically edible fries on our table?! I'm sorry I just feel like that's totally unacceptable, especially for the prices that they charge here. The ambience is amazing. I will give it that. But the service is just really hit or miss I guess. Our waiter was really nice and the hostesses are super friendly. But that whole situation just really irked me. The crostini and orange pie were the best part of the meal imo.

    When they tell you to get the burger at Good Luck. They mean it. The thing is massive. But cooked well. And lots of leftovers! Ambiance is always fun, drinks balanced, food fresh.

    See all

    Burger, pizza, fries and cocktails are always my go-to when here. I gain 20 lbs but its always worth it.

    Do I need reservations?

    I would seriously suggest it.. unless you are just going for cocktails. It's a busy place and I seriously would get a reservation even for two people.
