Had another killer burger today. Best burgers I've had since I retired from the Navy. There's 5 of us, all retired military, and we keep coming back on Friday's because the seafood special is outstanding. Can't wait till Friday. Jesse J. read more

Very much a neighborhood place. The portions are large and the beer is cold. It's not a fancy menu but the food is good.

Came here with my in-laws for the first time and we really enjoyed it! It's not a fancy place by any means, but it's a cute hole in the wall type place. I ordered a philly and it came out piping hot and delicious. My husband ordered the lucky burger and is still talking about it on our way home lol Our drinks stayed full and the waitress made sure to clear our table as we finished up so we had plenty of space to drink and talk. I'm definitely going to come again and would recommend anyone dropping in! read more

I will just lead with it is a bar. That being said there are places you can sit with your family including children. It also allow smoking in it I believe or has so that is a downfall but it isn't overly Smokey or stinky in there. We led with wing chips not all of them were crispy but they were good and so were the fried mushrooms. The chicken tenders and buffalo shrimp with bbq rub was tasty. My mother in love had southwest egg rolls which tasted as if they were made in house. They stated everything was from scratch. They were good could use a bit more flavor. It was $1 taco not their tacos were okay too. Staff was friendly but definitely has a bar feel. Don't leave without the tuxedo dessert mmm mm mm. read more

Great made to order burgers at a reasonable price. Great take-out service during Covid-19. Thanks!

We had to make an unexpected stop in Columbia to get our car repaired and this was the closest restaurant to the repair shop. We felt very Lucky to have eaten there since my whole family (husband, kids and parents) loved what they ordered. If we ever drive through Columbia again we will be eating at Lucky's! read more

Used to be my favorite place for a go to burger. Quality has deteriorated. No longer the burger it used to be. Recommend keeping quality and raising prices to compensate! read more

Great black and blue burger. Good homemade chips. Nice woman leading bingo. Food is good people are great and the lake is close.

This is a local gem. Lucky's serves bar food but they also have great home cooked specials. The wings are great and so are the burgers. The fried fish is surprisingly fresh and crispy. The bartenders are friendly and pour great drinks. This is a great place with local flare. read more

I really enjoyed everything about this place. Ate outside very attentive staff and food was good enough to return and eat again

Wonderful service & food today! Our two young boys loved the mini corn dogs & peanut butter sandwich! My husband loved the Lucky Burger with the house chips. I had the delicious blackened chicken wrap! Our server was totally on top of checking on us & giving us everything we needed. I really enjoyed the golfer vodka drink! read more

Would not recommend this for family with young children. It's a bar mainly but has great food and service. Always cooked well and have never been disappointed. read more

Although, the name "Lucky's Burger Shack" should tell you exactly what to expect I must admit that driving by here at least twice every day I had always had the impression that this was a neighborhood bar. I was terribly wrong. For lack of anything close by that we hadn't already bored ourselves with, I decided to swing in and grab a couple burgers for my wife and I. Turns out the burger was made from fresh hamburger and not the same ole frozen patti I was expecting. Pleasant surprise one. If that wasn't enough to impress I soon realized the the mushrooms were fresh and sautéed. Are you kidding me! This burger just became my favorite within 100 miles (at least). But wait, there's more! I reached for the fries and let me tell you, I eat fries like a connesuer of wine. Forget fresh or frozen, I can tell you the dirt they came out of and the grease they were cooked in (I bet you think I'm exaggerating, I am). The fries were fresh cut. I'm tearing up a little, just a sec...OK I'm good now. Bottom line. If you like the everyday menu of the burger joint, you'll be amazed how delicious that food is when it's made with fresh ingredients. read more

Lucky's Burger Shack - Burgers Near Me - Irmo, South Carolina

The service was OK. Food came late. Food was subpar. Seemed like frozen food that was warmed up. The table was sticky. We will not return.

Loud music and sometimes a fairly annoying trivia game takes over the whole place, but it is easy to ignore because of the really good food! And not just their burgers. They have tons of other great options. My kids love the place and while it is a "bar" too, it is totally somewhere families can feel comfortable. Great service. Nice staff, Excellent food. read more

First visit here. Great, friendly service, we had the black and blue burger with wing chips and the patty melt on a Texas toast with hot potato salad. Sweet tea and coors light to wash it all down. Not a crumb left on the plates. We've been in Columbia a few months and still looking for a new regular spot for date night - this just might be it!! read more

After looking for a local lunch spot, I hit Lucky's up after finishing a job in Irmo, and to be absolutely honest, it's a great place. I used to live in Irmo (my mom's place is less than two miles away from Lucky's) and this spot has been a few things in the past, but I think Lucky's is my favorite of the bunch. It's definitely a Dive with a capital 'D,' but since I tend to gravitate to those, that's a bonus for me. Long story short, the burgers are great (no frozen patties here, real cheese, ripe tomatoes, thick, crinkle-cut pickles and green, leafy lettuce) and the beer is cold. The beer selection is a bit limited if you like craft brews, and there's no draft beer as far as I could tell, but there were a couple of offerings from Sweetwater (IPA and 420), as well as some from Sam Adams and Sierra Nevada. To be absolutely honest, an ice cold Rolling Rock washes a good burger down as well as anything. The wing chips were great, not overcooked (crispy at the outer rim, still soft in the middle), and I was glad that the bartender offered some malt vinegar to douse them in. The prices are good and the service was quick. I will be back, hopefully sooner rather than later. read more

Surprisingly their wings are better than their burgers...or at least I thought so. We got the medium wings with ranch as an app. Don't get me wrong their burger was pretty good but I know if I come back I will probably get wings. It's your typical bar and a little divey.... They have beer specials and do carry the Sunday NFL ticket.. She mentioned Steeler fans occupy the right side of the bar but they will play other games on some of the other TVs. We had 2 burgers 1 app and 4 beers for $30, very reasonably priced. read more

Passed this place many times, and finally gave it a try. We brought the pup with us and the outside area was really good compared to a lot of Irmo pup friendly restaurants. Loved their patty melt, Parmesan ranch wings, and wing chips & Leo (the pup) was happy about his bacon they brought him. We'll definitely be back. read more

I rarely review things because I can understand that you can catch a restaurant on a good day and on a bad day....and crap happens. HOWEVER, this one I have to do because of the sheer unprofessionalism we were given. My guests and I ordered from Lucky's through Bite Squad. After an hour of waiting, our poor bite squad driver called to tell us that "Lucky's says they're busy, so they aren't going to process your order." AN HOUR it took the restaurant to let us know, they made the bite squad driver call to tell us, and there was no remorse, apology or any action to make up for their completely unprofessional behavior. NEVER go here. Bad days happen but this was unacceptable. read more

Good food, fast and friendly service, good atmosphere, I was here for work training and needed a quick bite to eat but I didn't want fast food , this place was a good choice, I had the Philly cheese steak sandwich and tots , it was good , would recommend this place. read more

Consistent quality food. Love the wings as well as the patty melt. Fair pricing, friendly staff and quick service. What more could you ask for? read more

Watching some yelp show and I realized I forgot to yelp this place. Wife & I went for lunch on St. Pattys day (unplanned coincidence). Busy but not crowded (yet, but getting there). Btw, the parking situation is a disaster. Staff screaming through the place every few mins about someone getting towed out of the Waffle house lot next door, where a tow truck was posted up basically waiting to take cars out of there. 4 different people took out orders/served us. I asked the waiter (4th person) about the meat used for the cheese steak (steak ums, or real). He answered, and I placed my order. A cheese steak and a Blue moon. Wife ordered some sort of chili dog and a bloody Mary, because of how it looked in the menu pic. And we got fries and the corn nuggets. Blue moon, in a can...okay. never seen that, but who cares. Wifes bloody Mary was missing most of the items in the picture and she had to order an extra shot because it was basically a virgin. When she asked about it, we were told "This is how they come here." 20 mins or so. Average for the capacity. No problem. Food comes out. Wife said the hot dog was pretty good. Fries were good and the corn things were really good. Probably the best tasting chicken Philly I've ever had. 2 problems though: 1) It was roughly the same size as a Burger king chicken sandwich with a very meager amount of ingredients. Small, but hot and fresh and very good. But.... 2) I ordered a cheese steak. Even asked about the steak used, which he remembered explaining to me. Then he put in an order for a chicken Philly. Waited 20 more minutes after finishing our food to get the check. Charged me for double drinks. I only caught the beer. (Didn't realize I got double charged for my wifes drink as well until I got home). He re ran the check, gave us two gross warm "throw away" shots and apologized. Traffic jam leaving the lot which has drink people wandering around in it. The original charge locked on my card for 4 days before being refunded. Overall? Very good food. Not warranted by the price. Friendly service, but kind of slow and wrong. Not much atmosphere. Would consider going again because I know the food is good...And I want to see what the cheese steak is like. read more

Went here for the first time. We went with the kids and sat outside. They allow smoking outside but it really was not bothersome. If more people would have lit up I'm sure it would have been. Wife got a hamburger well done yet parts were quite pink. I ordered a chili dog. Warning the chili is spicy. Would been nice to know beforehand. Hot dog was dang good, aside from being overcooked and chewy. The fries are probably their best item. Tea was sour. Fries were really good. The wing chips or raw fries were not good. Fries alone add two stars to the review. read more

Burger was decent. Wings were pretty good. Servers weren't great. Booth where we sat smelled like urine. A lot if Flies. Would give 3 but one of the servers was rude. Won't go back. read more

Yes this may be a dive bar but it is the bomb! Great selection of beer specials every day of the week make it a bargain but the main reason is the burgers! Fresh made with all different kinds of offerings. Then the sides!!!! Try the hot potato salad. They call it crack for a reason. But not to be missed are the wing chips, homemade chips light and tasty! read more

Ok, food is great, beer is cold and staff is friendly. Just don't go after 10 pm. Staff is busy smoking, doing shots with regulars and getting tore-up. Oh, and cigarette smoking is allowed inside with very loud music. If THAT don't bother you, this is a great place to hang. read more

A solid 3. For always being friendly, fast service. & good food at a good value. A real locals bar. Has several TVS inside & out with sound for a good game day place. Not overly crowded. Is right off of interstate but has comfortable atmosphere girls n guys feel welcome here. Is showing it's age but still a good place to come have a drink & sometimes catch live music or even karaoke if you like it. Every time we've eating here I've gotten something different & you wouldn't think it would be good ? Bit it's been very good & like I say always a good value. read more

The last time I came the burger was thick and cooked perfectly. The fries were good , too. This time the burger was thin and overlooked. Dry. The kettle chips were inconsistent. Some were crisp some were greasy and softish. All were too salty. I'll try it again, but today was not what I remembered. read more

Lucky's Burger Shack - We split a regular burger. Nice that they have us separate plates. - Burgers Near Me - Irmo, South Carolina

We went for lunch. They have a big menu Ordered tea and it tasted brewed on site A+ Ordered fried mushrooms. We judge the restaurant by the quality of these. Breaded in house so excellent A+ My wife got the lunch special wings 55 cents each. They were well cooked and the dry rub was good. A+ I ordered the lunch special Smothered chicken with mashed potatoes with gravy. Chicken was good. Could have had more bell pepper and onions, but this was the lunch special, so fair trade. A My wife had the potato soup which she rated as excellent. A+ I had the onion soup. The flavor was good and had a fair amount of cheese on top. The down side was that it had too much bread which was soggy and very little broth which is the point of onion soup. Again the flavor was good. A- The atmosphere was coastal fish shack which appealed to me. A+ Overall, the experience was very good and prices were very reasonable. Also, they run specials every day and have a happy hour. Give this a try for casual food with good service. I tipped slightly over 20%. read more

We were at immediately because it wasn't busy (on a Saturday). The guy sat us and got our drinks. After nodding across the room that we were ready we still had to wait for another waitress to get our order. When our appetizer came out we weren't given napkins or plates. I asked for my burger cooked medium and it came charred. No one came by to ask how our meal was. The lady that took my order was more concerned with counting her money than attending her one table. We had to get our ketchup from another table. When we were ready to get the check, it took another 10-15 min. Then I was charged wrong for my order. This was the first and last time I will ever go to this restaurant. read more

Not the cleanest place I've been to. If you like taking chances, pushing the envelope, cares to the wind this is the spot. Food is really good. Prices are good. Mixed drinks not their specialty. Kinda reminds me of a sand bar in Jersey. Poor lighting to hide the grease stains and dust. read more

I was heading home to Columbia on I26 and asked Siri for "burgers near me". Lucky's is exactly what I was looking for! It was around 5pm on a Thursday and there were several regulars there. 4 different people came to check on me. The bartender brought out my food and checked back . I got the patty melt with fries. It was delicious, hot, and fresh! I will definitely go back! read more

Weird experience. The wait staff hung all over patrons. Perhaps they were regulars. For a moment I thought I was at Hooters. We were told to seat ourselves but when we choose a seat we were told it was reserved. While asking server questions about menu she seemed perplexed and had to shout out our questions to other servers. On the plus side the food was good. read more

EXCELLENT burgers. Also... ask for the "food crack" (locals nickname for it) ..It's baked potato salad, grilled hot...add cheese. it's awesome! read more

Lived in Irmo for about two years and this became our go to chillin' spot. It's a little dated which might make you question it when you first walk in, but the food will make you come back. read more

My wife and I had a few hours of no kids, so took a chance and went here for a few drinks and ordered food. The service was amazing, the bartender Rob was very friendly and the food was really good. My wife had the burger and she loved it and I had the wings. All together this place is a really good spot to go, and if you need takeout, and you are tired of fast food, I recommend this place. read more

Excellent food! Great service! Hometown feel with a friendly environment!! The fried pickles were excellent! The Lucky burger is one of the best burgers I've ever tried!

We went and sat for a while waiting for a waitress. No one came, instead, the waitress decided to talk on her phone so we left. Can't comment on the food since we didn't even get a chance to order anything. But the customer service sucks. read more
