The food here is so delicious. The staff is quite friendly and aren't all fake happy, smiley-wiley when you go inside. (Annoying over-hyper employees are a no-go for me. All I want is my food, man!) The store is always clean, which is awesome because this place stays busy the majority of the time I'm there. The chicken livers are out of this world! Crazy good! I'm pretty cheap, so I'm not too excited about the prices, but the food is pretty wonderful. read more

Very slept on food spot. The workers are super friendly and kind. If you're looking for a good burger or fried chicken, this spot won't disappoint! read more

How could this place get four or five star ratings?! To say that the food at Lucky Wishbone is horrible would be a gross insult to horrible food. Imagine the food in a high school cafeteria, mix in some prison gruel, add a generous portion of lard, and stir in a dose of hopeless despair. You will have come close to envisioning just how remarkably, grotesquely bad Lucky Wishbone is. To put it in perspective for you, I try to change my driving route, whenever possible, so as not to be forced to drive in front of the place, as I suspect that simply being in the vicinity of all that gratuitous fat may send me to the toilet for a few days. The food is uniformly tan in color and leaves a swirling patina of grease on everything it touches. At least Jack-in-the-box has the decency to add some flavor or the occasional bit of vegetable to their food. Lucky Wishbone does not. Even their radio ad is disturbing. "Good things are coming, at Lucky Wishbone!" the cheerful ad admonishes. An ominous portent, if ever I've heard one. I guess, on one level, the food is so comically awful, that the only way things can go is up - maybe, at least in that respect, the ad is correct. On the other hand, the fact that the ad is such a patent fabrication makes it all the more chilling, whenever I hear it on the radio. In short, abandon all hope, ye who eat here. If you continue to frequent this establishment, your heart and your bowels will likely hate you for the rest of your short life. read more

Lucky Wishbone will make you fat. But, you'll be a happy fatass after eating it.

Fried chicken that is very tasty and very bad for you. Nothing like a fresh box of hot grease.

Oh Lucky Wishbone...as soon as I win the lottery I'm bringing one of you to Flagstaff. Like so many reviews before, this is the place for greasy good food, and the place is 56 years old! Have been getting chicken livers from here since I was a kid and it's all I order when I stop in. Their fries are crispy and apparently sprinkled with an additive that makes you crave them at all hours of the day. The whole box is a heart attack in the making, but it's just too ridiculously good. read more

This is THE place to celebrate the pounds you were working off for the summer...Everything is good since they opened in1953 !!! Their homemade sauce is one of the best kept secrets... read more

So the wife knew of this place since she grew up in AZ, but my first exposure to Lucky Wishbone. Don't go in expecting an upscale place with plenty of seating, but really, is that why you are there? NOPE, it's for the fried goodness! Can't wait to go back for more, cool Tucson based business! read more

"Good things are going at lucky wishbone, chicken, shrimp and steak fingers too!" Wow, five years after leaving Tucson and I still can hear the jingle.. This place is oh so good... The chicken, the fries.. and to top it all off they have simply the best cocktail sauce I've ever had. read more

If you aren't from Tucson, you need to go try Lucky Wishbone, and when you leave Tucson you'll miss it, since there is no other place than the 7 Tucson locations you can get that amazingly delicious chicken batter and tasty fries...I've been going to this location for more than 50 years, since I was a kid living a few blocks away. **WARNING DEEP FRIED GREASY FOOD IS GREASY AND FRIED SO DON'T WRITE A REVIEW COMPLAINING ABOUT GREASY FRIED FOOD...!! GO EAT SOMEWHERE THAT SERVES TOFU AND SALAD THEN REVIEW THAT** No it's not healthy for you but it's GOOD.( And it's crisp greasy not soggy greasy.) The menu is very family friendly with three sizes of most offerings, Mom, Pop, and Junior size combos, since long before combos were invented at the other chains... About 90% of the time I'll get two breasts with or without fries. Over 50 years I've had about 90% of the menu though and nothing disappoints...just the chicken is the real reason to eat here. Never have developed a taste for the garlic Texas Toast though many love it. The burgers are very good but most people don't come for a burger. I've tried the shrimp which is great, the steak fingers are fine, but it's the chicken that draws them in and makes this place a Tucson tradition. My roomie particularly loved the Kickin Chicken fingers, the regular chicken fingers are wonderful. And they offer liver or gizzards, which is sorta unique these days and if that's your thing, hey...! The fries are really tasty, as good as any fast food fries I've ever had, far better than most. Maybe the best ever. One review here said if they dropped a fry in the car they'd eat it off the floor mat. YES. Exactly. The onion rings are good too but not as good. Everything is cooked to order so it will be HOT and FRESH, there may be a little wait but you can phone your order in and give them 5-10 minutes it will be waiting for you. It's not a dine in place though most of the locations have someplace to sit and eat if you must, this one is a couple of steel picnic tables outside. (Please do not feed those damn pigeons, they pester everyone else if you do.) No take it out, go to the park and eat there or take it home; get yourself a soda or if you really want a treat go to the Eegees across the street and get an Eegee instead of drink, cuz that is the other Tucson fast food tradition you will never forget. The prices are fast food cheap -- a huge lunch or dinner will run you about $5-8 and after you've eaten here you will never bother with that KFC stuff again.Ever. And it's locally owned and operated, plus they have a photo up in this store of a guy who I well remember, who actually retired after 50 years as an employee at that location...you know they have to treat people pretty well to have someone hold on to that job for that long! Go on, you'll love it!! read more

This local chain is what I miss most about living in Tucson. OK, maybe 3rd most, behind the other popular reasons "friends" and "hot girls in U of A butt shorts." Can't beat the steak fingers. The crispy, delicious fries are better than any fast food place. The garlic toast is awesome, but eat it quickly or it gets soggy on the drive home! read more

It's good. I recommend the chicken fingers as that's a staple. Fries are really good. Make sure to get the black cherry kool aid. Reason for the low rating is that they did not give me a slice of toast with my pop chicken finger meal. read more

Yes, it's greasy, buttery, and not at all good for you. But when you're in the mood for fried chicken (which for me, isn't that often) it better be good. And it is. Just don't expect anything to be any other color than deep-fried brown. Love supporting the hometown chain as well. read more

I've been eating at Lucky Wishbone my whole life. This is definitely not health food, regardless of what kind of diet you might be on. Carb and grease central. But it's good. The fried shrimp are delicious. They changed their french fries sometime in the past ten years and they are awesome now. The buttery soaked Texas toast is awesome. A friend of mine says they have the best burgers in town, but I've never tried them. Cheap. Great for feeding a crowd on the fly, everyone will find something they like. read more

Stopped in for a cheeseburger yesterday, they never disappoint! This is the ONLY location that does it right btw. Don't go to another location thinking the burgers are the same at every Lucky Wishbone because they are NOT. The Campbell location puts cheese, onions, mustard and relish, there's something about that combination that makes their cheeseburgers BOMB!!! Of course I have also had the deep fried goodies and they are your basic chicken fingers/steak fingers....I prefer the cheeseburgers any day :) add a little of the cole slaw and I am in heaven! Try it, you will not be disappointed I promise!!! read more

Another good location, employees are friendly, and the food is good! Try the shrimp cocktail. The two piece chicken breast meal is so huge! It was way more than enough food for me, but if you are starving or are just a big eater, I would recommend this. It also comes in a three piece. The fries are battered and fried, and that hot buttered toast they serve with the meals is so good. Save this one for your night off from the diet. read more

If this is considered great fried chicken, I feel sorry for the residents of Tucson. Greasy and over coated with flour or batter (couldn't really tell which). And the steak fingers were chewy at best. Fries were soggy, but cole slaw was actually good. Wouldn't suggest this place to anyone. read more

Lucky Wishbone is like a theme restaurant if the theme is grease. Everything, and I mean EVERYTHING is fried. That's the whole point. Apparently that is a 5-star experience for some people, but I am not one of them. read more

Another local treat! Everything is fried, steak, chicken, fries. Cool place, neat hang-out.

Fried Gizzards FTW! This place is way better than any other chain style chick shack period. This is the kind of place you get cravings for! read more

I'm sorry Tucson, I really don't get the love affair with this place. I love fried food as much as the next person, but the chicken I've had here just seemed kind of bland. I did like their fries a lot, and their sauce is pretty damn good. But, if you are going to include "wishbone" in your name, I expect to be blown away by your chicken. read more

Awful. I was excited to try something original from Tucson and then I got this. Disgusting.

Sometimes you need a little grease in your life, and this place serves that exact purpose. The menu items are all pretty generic, but it's one of those places you go to when you just don't give a flying fudge about diets and eating healthy and all that jazz and damnit you just want something that is so ridiculously pumped full of oily deliciousness. These are all things you've had before, just improved by the power of grease. For recommendation's sake, I like the chicken, fries, and the fried shrimp, though I get tired of the shrimp pretty quickly. read more

Oh how I love Lucky! The steakfingers and fries are to die for. This is a great place when you need a quick meal and don't want something healthy! It's also a Tucson original! read more

I can remember coming here as a child and still love going here to this day. This place is by no means healthy, but damn is it delicious. The chicken fingers with the wishbone sauce are my go to meal. Although the burgers and steak fingers are amazing too. If you are looking for a place to eat that it just good this is you go to place. On the flip side of you want super healthy then stay away. ( I say that cause I can see bad reviews strictly on people complaining about how unhealthy it is, get over yourselves!) read more

This place is iconic. Some of the best chicken and toast ever. Great for feeding groups or families, just get a party platter and you are set. The place doesn't look too appealing but the food is great and the price isn't too bad. Friendly service and easy access off Campbell. read more

yum, steak fingers! but seriously, the real magic is in the sauce.. on our last day in Tuscon I ordered a 4 piece chicken finger meal, with 25 extra sauces! lol the lady packing up my stuff commented, "that's a lot of sauce for 4 pieces of chicken!" (not to mention the meal already came with some...) yes, it is fried food. yes, it is not the healthiest meal choice, but yes, it is a treat, and worth a shot! read more

Loved it! I was very impressed. The steak fingers rock

Livers are awesome! I've been eating at this same restaurant on Campbell for 40+ years. True every thing is fried, but it is soooo good and NOT greasy. read more

I took a day trip to Tuscon recently and, having read good reviews, I decided to try this place. Huge mistake. The steak fingers were fairly flavorless and the garlic toast was burnt. The sauce included is nothing more than a very disgusting cocktail sauce. I felt extremely sick after eating my meal. The air in the restaurant was heavy and unpleasant and the cleanliness left much to be desired. read more

I visit the location on Harrison and Old Spanish Trail. The chicken today was hot and crispy but I got to tell you for the price it's not worth it. I like dark meat so I ordered a pops dark meat box. The legs and the thighs are so small and it is bland. I taste no seasoning whatsoever on this chicken. Not even salt or pepper. The french fries had no salt on them either. In the future I will go the extra block and buy the fried chicken at the Fry's grocery store. It is much better and at least half the price. read more

I am from CA...we have a lot of great seafood. I was told this place was like a historic institution with the BEST friend fish one could find in the area. WOW..if this is the best, I would hate to try the worst! Expensive, don't get very much, greasy, over cooked and just nasty. No thanks! read more

Lucky Wishbone always satisfies when you want straight up American fried food. I think that is why some people think the chicken is bland. To me it is not bland but just a no frills fried piece of chicken. The fries are crispy and you get a ton of them with the meals. I like the fried shrimp which are cheap for sea food. The fried coating here is crunchy, and thick enough to taste but not overwhelm the food. You have to buy sauces but they have a decent selection. I like the tartar and cocktail sauce for the shrimp. My ex loved the steak fries. The price is great and you get big, man sized portions. In all, a classic. The place itself is small and not good for dining in though! read more

As a kid, we used to go to Tucson for family, and for the most part I always dreaded the trips. Lucky Wishbone was always the wonderful little perk on these undesired voyages. After having not been there in YEARS, I went today with my girlfriend, with hopes that it was just as good as I remembered, and not just nostalgia. Ad it delivered! Huge amounts of chicken, crisped to absolute perfection, with tasty fries, and surprisingly flavorful garlic bread. It was wonderful to see that it was as good as I remembered it, and my girlfriend liked it as well. We now both have leftovers prepped for lunch tomorrow. I'm pretty excited about that. read more

Not sure why people have complained about excessive grease? Maybe it was because I did not get the fried chicken? I order the chicken strip meal and there was nothing greasy about it. Everything was very well done. Chicken had a great flavor, breading was different than your typical chicken strips, and the fries were thin and perfectly crisp. Great value for the meal. This place beats KFC any day of the week. Will have to stop by again the next time I am in Tucson. read more

My husband I had Lucky Wishbone tonight, first time ever! I had a taste for chicken fingers and creamy Cole slaw. We also got their jalopena poppers. Everything was delicious! There is just enough breading, fried perfectly, not too greasy - perfectly done. We will, definitely, be back! read more

The prices are way too high for the quantity provided. And the customer service was rude. I regret the money wasted. The lady at the counter refused to modify the order placed. Wont visit again read more

Well, it aint health food..lol. But I always stop at least once on each trip to Tucson.

Finger lickin good! I was a regular here for the 4 years that I attended Arizona. Best fried chicken in town, and the Texas Toast is out of this world. read more
