    The burger looked nothing like the picture. Very disappointing. Burger didn't seem to have much seasoning. It was just an okay burger. The price was good though. The hot dog was delicious and the cheese sticks didn't disappoint. The lady didn't really show us too much attention, she was eating food herself. The ambience was blah. I didn't care for it. I don't think I would be back just because biting stood out.

    3/4lb Burger and chili cheese fries  this place is alway good every time I come in!

    3/4lb Burger and chili cheese fries this place is always good! Stop in and get you some food!

    Found plastic bag in shake , not yummy , 11/24/25

    Ordered burger with green chile and butterfinger shake to go. Went home and devoured burger, very good. Shake incredibly thick so straw was useless. Scooped shake into cup and ate . Halfway thru found plastic bag, gag. Called Luckys back and explained issue. Person gave me a cell phone number and asked for picture. Sent pic and didn't hear anything. Was before Thanksgiving so maybe owner gone, unknown. Super disgusting, was a shame as burger was excellent but won't risk it. Yikes!

    I am baffled by the high ratings. My husband and I each got 1/2lb cheeseburgers. The beef was bland as can be. I don't believe there was any salt or pepper on this burger, or any other seasoning at all. I asked for toppings on the side, which they did for me. My husband asked for a regular burger with bbq sauce and his arrived plain with nothing but meat and cheese. Fries were seasoned decently. The best part about our trip was a chocolate malt shake which was absolutely delicious. For the money, portions were good. The burger was supposed to be the shining star of this place and it fell way short. Service was friendly. We would return for a malt shake and perhaps try a fresh lemonade which they make in house. Please season your burgers and consider cooking in butter to add moisture and flavor.

    I live at least half an hour away from Lucky's, but regardless of the distance, it is worth the drive. My discovery of Lucky's was when I was looking at some of the highest-rated burger places in the Phoenix area on Yelp. From the first visit, I can see why it has an excellent rating. It is among my favorite burger places and a contender for the best burger in Arizona. On my first visit, I got a triple burger with fries and a milkshake. The milkshake contained butterscotch and Oreos. Butterscotch and Oreos are a combination that often gets overlooked. It is an impressive combination. The burger and fries are among the best I have ever had. I like how much spice that is placed on the fries. Just the right amount and not overbearing. The burgers are a little on the thin side, but they are delicious and juicy. I also appreciate that they offer a variety of sauces to accompany the burgers. The house-made Thousand Island sauce is delicious, and it tastes much better than the kind you find in stores. I also like the old-school atmosphere. With many pictures along the walls, it feels like you are in a classic diner, taking a trip back in time. While the food and atmosphere are excellent, the best part is the service. The owner, Marvin, is one of the nicest guys I have ever met. Every time I have walked in, he has greeted me with a warm smile, asking how my day was going, and has been patient with me whenever I needed some time to figure out what I would like to have that day. You can tell that he cares about everyone in his business having a great experience. For such great food, the prices are very reasonable. Although I do not visit the area very often, I always stop by Lucky's Burgers and Shakes whenever I am in the area and recommend it to anyone seeking a great burger place in Phoenix.

    1/4 lb burger and fries

    Tried Lucky's for the first time and totally get the high ratings. I had the 1/4 lb burger with 1000 island, lettuce, tomato, pickles, onion, and green chili--plus fries and a strawberry shake. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and exactly what you want from a classic burger joint. My partner Jeff is hard to impress, and even he gave it two thumbs up after his 1/2 lb burger, onion rings, and Dr Pepper. The menu is simple, which lets the food shine--no gimmicks, just great burgers and shakes done right. We'll definitely be back.

    The food is like.... like mom made a delicious sandwich for you. We got a friendly greeting when we walked in and were asked if we were referred by anyone. This is a basic simple shop that serves amazing food and even better shakes and malts with real delicious fruit in them. We will 100% return!

    1/4 pounder
    Mike L.

    Just happened to stumble on this hole in the wall privately owned shop. Menu was simple. Can't go wrong with any of their menu items. Fun fact: they landed on a list for one of the top 10 burger joints in the US (2018). We ended up going with a couple of 1/4 pounders with fries. Service was quick and on point as things came out fast. Burgers also tasted great as expected! Will definitely swing by again for a quick bite.

    Front counter where order and pickup!

    2nd time here. Nice clean seating area. Friendly service and helpful. Good prices. I think I like this place better than my usual burger place.

    I decided to try out Lucky's and I am so glad I did! The team at Lucky's is so friendly and efficient. The inside of Lucky's is pretty small, maybe about 6-7 tables. Lucky( ;p ) for me I went for take-away. The food is amazing. BBQ bacon burger with chili cheese fries and a chocolate milkshake. I ate it so fast I think i forgot to chew! It was so good! If you want to try a local burger spot, you should really give Lucky's a shot!

The layout is a bit challenging since the menu board faces perpendicular to where you enter. When I arrived a group were craning their necks to read the options. This is not fancy. My order was called and I had the charcoal grilled fish and my friend had the classic burger . We also split the chili fries. Both came on paper fry containers and a cafeteria style tray. There was a large condiments stand with wagon wheels. It is similar to chuckbox but much larger. The food was decent and the fish cooked correctly. I apologize for no pics, we were engaged in a stimulating conversation. People put food first but in today's workd, we need to spend more time talking and listening to one another. I completely forgot to take pics of the food. Overall, it is a simple smashed style of burger patty. The ambiance is lower lighting with a western aged setting. Think traditional western style. It was my first time and while not my preferred style of burger, the food is decent. This is a place that offers customizable food, TV's and it was not too noisy. The counter person was extremely helpful in offering insights and options. Enjoy your experience and wear your boots and Cowboy hat.

    The Chuck Box is an extremely well known and popular Gem located at the heart of the ASU Tempe…read moreCampus. It has been around for DECADES and there is no question as to why it is still there. When visiting the Chuck Box know that it is cash only (ATM on-site), and super popular. There WILL be a line. The line does move extremely fast, due to the fact that the line cooks are definitely not waiting until you get to the counter to take your order. They will call out to anyone in line (regardless of where in line you are) and take your order, yelling it out if needed. It is such a unique and fun experience. The burgers are not overpriced and are phenomenal! It is self serve toppings, after you pay for your order you can go to the topping bar and add as much to your burger as your heart desires. They additionally have other food on the menu such as veggie burger, chicken sandwhiches, chicken tenders, onion rings, fries, fried zuchinni, fried mushrooms, and more. I have had both the fried zuchinni and mushrooms and I would definitely recommend both options! Since it really popular, be aware that there is limited seating and it is crowded. It is additionally extremely warm (especially during the summer) inside the building due to the grill. If you have not already checked out the Chuck Box, I would definitelly recommend that you check it out as soon as possible!!!

This…read moreplace is ok, maybe even good, but not what I consider excellent or the best burgers in Arizona. For cash only, the prices seem a little high to me also. To start, my burger tasted pretty good. The cheese was good. Bun was a little dry and stale. The lettuce was yellow and chopped and looked several days old and slightly rotten. Two of my tomatoes had active mold growing on them. It was too dark inside to see it but we ate in the car and saw the moldy spot then. The fries are good but way too salty. We really liked the fried mushrooms. But we made our own dipping sauce which was better than the ranch they give you: mix 2/3 mustard and 1/3 Mayo. Tangy and delicious. We get these at "The Windmill" when we go to the jersey shore and the sauce that comes with the fried mushrooms is a horseradish sauce which is amazing (hint hint, Chuck Box). I would eat here again but bring a flashlight to inspect the produce and lower my expectations. It was good, not great. It smelled kind of off in here also. The AC and vents probably need to be cleaned.
