I've lived in the Five Towns my whole life and have never gone to Lucky Boy, after reading the reviews on Yelp I decided to try it. Man what was I missing! It was so good! I had the gyro special, so tasty! I also ordered the coconut cream pie, to die for! Definitely will be going back. read more

Lucky Boy Restaurant - Gyro special - Greek Near Me - Lawrence, New York

Yummy, homemade and absolutely delicious.....I eat here at least once a week......the owner and staff are so nice.....everything on the menu is homemade, no processed frozen food here! The owner makes you feel like you are one of the family! I love you Lucky Boy........ read more

This my to go to spot for lunch. Awesome service even if the place is super crowded . Try the Stuffed eggplant, it's definitely one of the best things in their menu. read more

Bland. It's not awful, but it's not good either. It's like they are afraid of seasonings. There's much better Gyro at the Greek Corner in Franklin Square, not to mention it's cheaper; It's worth the extra drive. read more

I have been going here for the last 15 years....and it's only gotten better!! Service is great and the food is great. Everything I've ever ordered here was good. I've never had a bad meal here. Try the soft shell crab salad its the BEST!! read more

Absolutely the BEST place in town!!! Only wish they could expand. We like to go there about 2 or 3 PM to avoid the crowds. The food is EXCEPTIONAL, the staff is WONDERFUL and, well, it doesn't get any better than this place. My absolute FAVORITE place in the whole world. read more

Delicious bread with garlic butter. Salads are large and have lots of fresh ingredients. Had the branzino for dinner and my son had the swordfish. Portions are large and filling. Can't say enough about the chocolate pudding dessert and the coconut pie. Our waitress, Bridget was entertaining and makes the place fun and enjoyable. read more

If you're looking for quantity, run to lucky boy. If you're looking for tasty, well seasoned food, sorry you're out of luck. To be fair I only tried the gyro, which consisted of a heaping plate of tasteless, flavorless meat. read more

Excellent service. Environment was stupendous. Food delicious and out of this world. I do recommend that you make a reservation for this place. A place to bring your family or just having a casual lunch with a friend. Parking is limited read more

We have been going here for over twenty years. Although I don't live in New York, I make it a point to come here each time I come back. The food is delicious. The oil that comes with the bread is so wonderful. read more

Really don't understand why everybody raves about this place. To me, it's a Greek diner with some decent prices, terrible location & parking, and average food. It's not very clean, and gets crowded. Outdated looking, too. I had the gyro.. tasted like every other gyro I've ever had. My grandfather happened to be along on this dining experience -- he couldn't wait to leave. So, if you want diner food, and don't feel like going to the one down the block, try this one. Would I eat here again? Well.. yeah.. read more

This a fabulous restaurant. Consistently excellent. Huge portion. Very friendly service. For all that you can with decor, which is nonexistent. read more

Food was very good!! Bread is awesome and the most amazing coconut cream pie.... Save room for dessert!!!!! Little on the expensive side, it caught us by surprise. read more

Best place ever! Everything is delicious! They have a great salad, vegetable pie is amazing and eckmek is unreal!!

I pretty much agree with everything the woman underneath me wrote. Growing up 10 min away was a blessing. The place is directly across the street from Costco. read more

Portions were generous and reasonably priced. I had the Gyro deluxe which is slices of gyro meat with a stick of souvlaki, pita quartered and salad. It held me over well past dinner time. I thought I saw a review saying the gyro is home made vs from a factory. I was good, but I thought the souvlaki was more tasty and would definitely order that by itself. read more

Best Gyro I ever had. Everyone who I bring here loves it. There Coconut cream pie is amazing as well.

Great Greek restaurant with excellent, fresh deserts. There is parking in the rear. Very friendly atmosphere and well run.

The food is simple amazing and I believe its the best restaurant to get some good quality food. The price range is affordable and the staff is extremely welcoming. Despite it not being the biggest restaurant it does give that cozy dinning room vibe. read more

Excellent food, very friendly waiter/waitress and owners. They make you feel like one of the family. The restaurant itself is small but the atmosphere is warm and inviting. read more

The freshest food you can get. Everything is delicious. While it is small it is a restaurant, not a fast food joint. The daily specials are always good but I am partial to the large greek salad. You get a giant glass salad bowl filled with fresh, cold iceberg lettuce, radishes, olives, onions and fresh feta cheese. Then I top it off with grilled chicken. Not the faux grilled chicken you get elsewhere. This is fresh chicken breast grilled to perfection. I work in the JFK area and go to Lucky Boy whenever I want a real home-cooked style lunch. Service is great. They refill your soda without asking. Oops, almost forgot...when the weather turns cold they make the best soups anywhere. One soup, different every day. I would call and ask if they had lentil soup. If they did I would buy 5. Eat one and then freeze the rest. read more

This was my first time here, i will be back. I had the baked cod fish with roasted corn and broccoli rabe, it was perfect. For dessert had the homemade coconut cram pie, best i have ever had. The service has great, fast and friendly read more

If you want fresh, tasty, large portions, cozy, friendly and nice selections of meats and fishes, this is the place for you. Neighborhood restaurant that is iconic in it's location being in business for decades. The staff is very efficient providing you and your table with it's needs. That includes two types of heated and toasted breads with a fresh butter sitting in a fresh garlic oil. Grated cheese in abundance that goes with the bread, butter and garlic oil, as well as the amazing cold fresh salads and entrees. Now for that glass fish bowl salad - it's almost a meal which is why so many people take half their entrees home and have an amazing lunch or dinner the next day. Not bad for the price. Entrees are next level from grilled meats and fishes that are prepared to order. Everything is fresh fresh. Desserts are a whole category in itself. For that one, you will have to see for yourself. Freshly made daily in house and out of this world. So many people order custom cakes and pies for holidays and try to get away with saying they baked them themselves; that"' show home made everything is. KUDOS!!!!!!!!!!!! read more

This restauraunt is my absolute favorite. The spiniach pie is amazinf and i come here with my family whenever we are in the neighborhoood. The waitstaff is very freindly and nice and the food is beyond delicious read more

Tonight was disappointing. The waitress, Susan, was not in, and the place wasn't the same. The food and service were lacking for the first time. I felt for such a pricey meal rushed. The waitress didn't make conversation, or really care whether we were satisfied... it felt "diner like" tonight. read more

Ordered traditional gyro, spinach pie and dolmades (stuffed grape leaves) . All were delicious! Delivered by doordash and arrived 10 mins earlier than estimated on as Friday evening at 7:40 PM by Earlus, the friendly courteous driver. We will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Had lunch at lucky boy restaurant. You don't expect much from the outside, but you are greeted warmly and the food is excellent. I had the Greek salad with grilled calamari. Portion was quite generous with lots of grilled calamari. Looking forward to trying other things on the menu. Oh my baklava some of the best I've ever had. read more

My favorite restaurant in the world . Yes that's correct and as a airline pilot I fly to Europe South America and Asia . Great people awesome entrees so healthy I could eat here every night . You won't be disappointed .l read more

A very tiny blink-and-you-miss-it storefront houses the best diner in Nassau County, if not all of Long Island. Large portions of freshly-prepared entrees at medium-sized prices, gigantic salads, delicious desserts, and an attentive, friendly staff that makes you feel welcome from the moment you sit down. The downside is that the place is tiny. There isn't much room for customers to wait for a table (a 15-20 minute wait is not uncommon), and when it's full it gets very noisy. The parking lot doesn't seem big enough to fit the clientele, and there is very little street parking nearby (clearly the neighbors aren't happy, judging by the number of orange cones that have popped up in front of houses on the side road). I disagree with an earlier reviewers claim that the menu is limited. Certainly compared to the serve-a-little-of-everything mindset of most Long Island diners, the menu is sparse and heavy on Greek and Italian dishes. But there are easily over a dozen regular entrees and half a dozen specials available nightly. read more

One word-AWESOME! Nelson and Jack are true gentlemen and always serve the freshest food read more

Great place home cooking everything is prepared fresh and tasty there thumbs up!!!! Friendly staff. Clean place. read more

Owner and staff are amazing, so is the food. This is our favorite place to get greek salads and gyros. If there is room for dessert, it is always very good. read more

Easily one of my favorite restaurants. Everything is delicious, but I'm particularly fond of the Greek salad with salmon and the broccoli pie. Parking is a challenge, but it's well worth it whether you chose to dine in or take out. read more

From the outside this place doesn't look like anything special but once you walk in the quaint appeal stands out. The service was impeccable. The food was amazing and very reasonably priced. I had muscles and linguini with fradiablo sauce. It was cooked to perfection. I would HIGHLY recommend this hidden gem. read more

my husband and I go almost every Saturday night. If i could go every night, i would! the food is amazing and so are the owners and waitresses. Bridget, Jaymie and Susan are the best! It's like going over to someone's house to eat. you feel so at home. i never finish what i order anywhere else, but when i go to lucky boy, i do! i almost lick my plate clean. Jack always laughs when i send the empty dish back and joke saying i didn't like it. Great place to eat! love it there! read more

Food still very good. However be careful ordering the "specials". $25.99 for an average size piece of Mousaka Greek style lasagna was a little ridiculous. read more

Please avoid this restaurant! Too many people are finding out about Lucky Boy causing me to wait longer every Friday night when i arrive at 7pm. :-) My family and I have been going to Lucky Boy for about 20 years since about the time that they opened. Lucky Boy rocks, named after a race horse that I assume the owner George either bet on or knew the owner of. George no longer works at Lucky Boy as he opened a second store buy his house north of NYC but the food and the service haven't suffered a bit. Regulars at Lucky Boy are known by the staff on a first name basis. I haven't seen the menu in years but it doesn't matter if you go to Lucky Boy you must have one of the "specials" of the night a soup and a salad. All the food is made fresh daily everything is prepped either before they open at lunch time or during lunch when business is slower. Most of what is offered has been summed up by Casey's post but what I can say is this if you want great food and great people working to make sure you enjoy everything from the moment you walk in the door look no further. Also on a side not Lucky Boy got a liquor license in the summer of 08. The attorney that took care of it, my dad, I'm not gloating I'm just trying to prove yes we have really been going to this restaurant for about 20 years every Friday night and although endorsing the food will make more people show up it doesn't matter I'll always love it there. read more

I adore this spot. This is my all time favorite spot to eat. The staff is superb and the food is beyond superb. I love every dish. The dishes that I gobble up are the chicken sausage over the greek salad with red wine and vinegar dressing, grilled calamari over spinach in a marinara sauce, the fresh bread baked on the premises, which you dip into garlic, butter and olive oil. I also like the zucchini paste in marinara sauce with baked cod fish. Awesome staff and food. Love this Place! read more

This is definitely a place that I would normally drive right by; however, I saw an amazing review on FIOS' Restaurant Hunter Show and figured I would give a try. As a result of my first visit I have now been back a dozen times. Everything I ever ordered here was excellent. However, I am in love with their Gyro Sandwich - Perhaps the best one I have tasted outside of Athen's street food vendors. Jack is always welcoming and the staff is attentive. Soups & breads are delicious and home made. Parking is somewhat of an issue as there is only a small lot behind the restaurant that fills quickly in prime time. There is a small lot with a rather large curb next store that you can access if you have an SUV. Place does need its' decor updated which would give it a 5 star rating. read more

Always a great meal, the owners treat you like family and if you don't see it on the menu just ask.
