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.

I've met some really chill people here. That said, the experience is pretty hit or miss. A couple of the bartenders can be unfriendly toward certain people, which definitely affects the atmosphere.

The drinks are poured well by friendly bartenders for the most part. The food is more then just deep fried, with daily specials. Now my favorite part. They host 2 Golden Tee Machines at a deduced price. 1 pin ball machine, and the standard lottery machines. The 5 stars are for what this bar is trying to be. A safe place to play some games, or talk with some friends, have a bite to eat, or have a stiff drink. If you're looking for clubbing this isn't the right spot, but stop in before or after you shouldn't be disappointed.

She was African American. Who the hell knows? I certainly did not order chow. The bartender was apologetic and she provided fantastic service. She was very professional and aware of her bar. Serving everyone accordingly. Locals and newbies. The locals were not territorial, and they were really cool, as are most people in Salem. I love the town. However, my buddy was there the night before, and said the food was good. I hope to be back, but I worried that the kitchen lady, who may have been a member of a prison gang, might shiv me. Kidding. It is a nice dive bar tho. Friendly at the bar at least.

I got mine with the sausage patty. The patty is very thick, I would say about an inch or so, and whatever the recipe or brand is for that sausage I want it. It was very tasty. Had just the right amount of spices for flavor not overly salty, spicy or sweet. Eggs were cooked to perfection over medium just how I like them. The whites were set, but the yolks were still soft. The mashed potato is just what they say, it is a baked potato that has been placed on its side and smashed onto the grill to get crispy skin on both sides. What a great idea and use of leftover baked potato, I'm gonna have to steal it. The portions were large enough that I ate both of my eggs about a third of the sausage and a couple bites of potato, and the rest came home with me and was enough to add eggs to for two more breakfasts. If you're looking for bread, I believe they said they had biscuits or croissants, but they do not have any bread for toast or English muffins or anything like that.
