Lucky's is THE best burger in Philly. They have a super unique menu with PBnJ burgers, Mac and Cheese, Truffle, you name in. Their sides of tots and fries are incredible, perfectly seasoned and crispy. The burgers are smash-style so you have the option to go for a single or double. The prices are completely reasonable for the area, about 20 bucks for a burger and a side. While I've only done take out, the space is cool with plenty of seating and a welcoming staff. They've got the takeout game done right with packaging and it automatically recommends you put sauces and dips on the side so everything stays fresh. Lucky's is my number on recommendation for a burger in the city. read more

It's always correct to go here. Great and friendly service. Nicely priced items. And honestly a good vibe. It's just an easy place, with good food. Bring a friend and go. read more

When we lived in East Falls, we used to frequent the Lucky's location in Manayunk and absolutely loved it. Now that we're in Center City, we're so grateful to have the same experience that we did out there. We started with two sour beers from their nice selection of craft draft and can options and with the roadside fries. I ordered the pickle monster, which is worthy of every award it has won, and my husband ordered the Gorgonzilla, which was also absolutely fantastic. It's a cool place with indoor and outdoor seating options, and service is friendly and speedy. Would definitely recommend adding this to your rotation of places in Philly! read more

Two burgers topped with pepper jack cheese, lettuce, tomato, fresh jalapeno, and our super special habanero mayo. A good dash of heat. I'm a vegetarian, and it is not easy finding a restaurant that offers a black bean burger instead of or in addition to an Impossible meat burger (I'm not a fan). So I was very excited to try Lucky's. After much internal debate, I ordered the "Almost Inferno" with a side of onion strings. Holy smokes, this was a delicious burger. The black bean patty was the perfect consistency and very hearty -- the black bean flavor was front-and-center supported by a tangy blend of spices. The habanero mayo and pepper jack cheese added a spicy but creamy kick to each bite, and the scallions (I think) under the patty offered a nice texture and punch of onion flavor. The flaky bun was just the right size and held everything together well. I love spicy food and have a relatively high heat threshold, but I found the burger to be mild/moderate in regard to the heat level. The onion strings were crispy and greasy just as I hoped they would be. The breading was slightly spicy with a faint peppery taste, and the side of special sauce added a tangy kick to each bite. The service side was big as well -- I couldn't finish them given the large size of the burger. The service was great and I really enjoyed the eclectic decor inside. I will definitely add this to my Philly restaurant rotation when I'm in town. read more

OMG I can't believe I waited so long to go here I hate myself for it absolutely the best burgers in the city! This is a must try for everyone. My wife and I had gone for her the weekend and had to wait about 30 minutes for a table. Once we were seated the serve had came in greeted her self and took out order for drinks. Shortly we ordered in which the serve was super helpful with suggestions since this was our first time. And once the food came out and I took the first bite I was in heaven. It was literally soo good I'm drooling just thinking of it. Needless to say I recommend everyone to go. read more

Omg the PBJ burger here was absolutely delicious. We also had the voodoo hot dog which was excellent, but the pbj burger is such a standout I can't wait to go back. The service was prompt and friendly, there's lovely outdoor seating for a nice day, and an extensive menu. The tots are also super tasty and a good side to get. Love it here!! read more

Worth the lil detour off the highway while passing through Philly. Shotgun review: - Divey, friendly atmosphere - Famous, award-winning PB&J burger* - Funky specials & daily deals (wine Wednesday, etc) - Gluten free options** - A few surprise costs*** *Interesting! Better than I expected & I'm glad I tried it. I wouldn't order it again but it was worth it for the experience. **Gluten-free bun was stale & cold, though. ***Didn't realize fries weren't included with burgers until we got the check. Oops. Also coke from the gun was $3.50 here which seemed a lil criminal. read more

My sister and i come here in the summer all the time - and we arent even big hotdog people! But there is just something about their sergeant pepper hotdog that just cant be beat. The 5 pepper relish is perfect and pairing it with a brown mustard it. just. makes. sense. Cant go wrong with their roadside fries either! read more

i ate the best hotdog of my life here like three hours ago and i haven't stopped thinking about it since. i will definitely be back.

Fresh off the train from NYC, this was my first meal in Philadelphia. Well my first meal was technically a ranch water and some Trader Joes peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets, but that's neither here nor there. After a 1,056 ft walk, we arrived at Lucky's Last Chance and were met with a 15 minute wait. First off, what a sick name. Lucky's Last Chance. I just wanna keep saying it. Rolls great off the tongue. About 8 min into our 15 min wait, 3 seats opened up at the bar so we just claimed them and sat there. Easy work. Lucky's Last Chance is the exact vibe that you would think when you hear the name. Divey interior with LOADS of character, people just happy to be here. I often times feel that these dive-like environments produce the happiest people. Note sure why, I will unpack that at a later date. Upon initial scan of the menu, the PB & Bacon burger caught my eye. Peanut butter on a burger? Wtf? I continued reading, and saw that it was the 3x Philadelphia Burger Brawl Winner. It's events like these that I am always skeptical for a few reasons: 1) What is Burger Brawl? Is this a legit competition? Idk. And they know I'm not going to take the time to look that up lol. 2) There were no years next to the 3x champion. What if it was 2009, 2010, 2011? What if they got CRACKED every year after. Idk. Amidst an internal war with myself on whether I should order this burger or not, I look up and to my right and see a GIGANTIC trophy that says "Burger Brawl People's Choice Award 2018." "Damn this must be legit then..." the hero said to himself. I asked the server what years they won Burger Bash, as I think this is a valid question if they have it on the menu. Without missing a beat he says "It should actually say 4x Champion we need to update this menu, we won in 2022 and they said we had to stop entering because we kept winning and they had us become a judge." LMAAAOOOOOOOO! Even if he was BSing me that came out of his mouth so quick I had to respect it. Needless to say, I ordered the PB & Bacon. Double patty because I am a BEAST. I'm going to do my best to articulate the experience of this burger, but my little pea brain is still processing it: This burger was the best experience that I never want to have again. Like rushing a fraternity or sorority. I had never thought about having peanut butter on a burger, let alone with bacon. Some bites were like wow this is actually amazing, why are we not funding this? Then other bites were like damn that was a lot of peanut butter, I need to wash this down with my Negroni. Overall, I admire this kind of innovation and risk taking. How could you not respect that? Leonardo Da Vinci and Steve Jobs are looking down on Lucky's Last Chance smiling at this level of creativity. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything, and am so happy I had it, but would not order it again. Fries were GAS too. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__ read more

Working in the area provided me the opportunity to dine at Lucky's Last Chance. Parking can be a bit challenging but circle the block a few times and you'll get a spot. Lucky's offered a nice amount of outdoor seating if that's your preference. Inside Lucky's offered a large bar with seating on two sides, a couple of window seats, some high tops, and booth seats. The venue is pretty big. Lucky's also offered two clean restrooms. The vintage pieces throughout the bar were cool and I loved the 80's music they were playing. Okay let's get to it! I ordered the My Boy Bleu burger. Featuring fresh crumbled Bleu cheese, homemade onion strings, and locally grown farm fresh diced tomatoes. I went with the double patty option. This was the best burger I've had this year! The beef procured from Carl Venezia Meats was handled with care by the chef at Lucky's. The burger was juicy and delicious. The toasted and buttered bun from Liscio's Bakey perfect. The Bleu cheese complimented the beef nicely. My side of crinkle cut fries were nice and crispy, and they had just the right amount of salt. I can't wait to bring the missus down and try some more of the menu. Shoutout to Tom and Heather and the rest of the staff who were friendly and on their game. read more

Great eats for late night. The wine was okay, especially for something on tap. They had a Thanksgiving sandwich special since Oct which sounded cool but macaroni was calling my name too much . Staff os friendly as this place is cool that it is open so late for food.! Better than Wawa but not quite 24-7. Works in this nice neighborhood . Bar joint is typical setting. Would I come back? Actually, yeah I would. Maybe I'd give that PB and J burger a chance that some people have been raving about. Would I be running for this place? Probably not, but that's okay. Having places like this to gorge on are super nice, but so are healthy alternatives as well. read more

These comments are regarding the Queen Village location. I have been a fan of this place since they opened this location. Love the menu, and the tap list is always interesting. However, in the last 12 months, I've had 4 Sunday afternoon visits, where I waited way too long for service, and just left to go somewhere else. The staff seem disinterested and miserable. No smiles, no greeting, no eye contact. This place was so good when they first opened. They have definitely fallen off, and are on the verge of losing a (formerly) loyal customer. read more

Love it here. The tables outside have a cute atmosphere and the burger choices are unique. I love the burger with mac and cheese in it. In fact, once I came for dinner after attempting a milk mile, and even after a gallon of dairy in me I just couldn't resist ordering the mac and cheese! read more

Well, well, well! I had a craving for a hotdog today. Not just a regular hotdog, but something I couldn't make at home. So, I did some research and found Lucky's Last Chance. I was concerned that the business might be closed bc of holiday. Therefore, I called to inquire about their hours. I was happy someone answered and told me the restaurant would be opened until 2 am. Yay!! I made my way over to the 2nd St location. There was a nice crowd inside, but not a soul outside. We decided to dine inside since it was a little too warm to be in the heat and we didn't want our waiter/waitress to run in and out just for us. We grabbed a small table in the back near the kitchen. We were greeted and ordered some beers on tap. Next up, food. I ordered the Norc Dog (chili, onions, brown mustard). The hubs ordered the Inferno burger (junior burger with jalapeño, pepper jack cheese, and spicy mayo). Additionally, we had the Main St fries (old bay cheese sauce). We enjoyed our craft beers while we waited for our food. Everything arrived at the same time. My dog was soo good. The chili had a nice heat and mustard mixed well with the chili too. The old bay cheese sauce was very tasty. There was the perfect amount of old bay mixed in the cheese. Neither overwhelmed the fries. My husband absolutely LOVED his burger. He said the jalapeños, cheese, and spicy mayo mixed perfectly together. He kept talking about how good the burger was. We were thoroughly surprised at our check since it was only $72 after our entrees and 6 beers. Thus, we left Lucky's even happier after enjoying our entire dining experience. Will we be back?? Absolutely!!! read more

Been meaning to try Lucky's for a minute, but somehow I always miss it when I'm back in Philly. Luckily, I was able to make a stop in this time and I'm glad i did. First off, the ambiance is pretty divey and it seems like a place that people in the neighborhood would frequent. Staff was super nice and friendly. As for the burger, it was for sure one of the best I've ever had. Cooked to perfection and the patties were juicy and flavorful. The Mac and cheese was the perfect compliment as well. This place is a must go since they have such great prices for top quality; wish I would've visited when I lived in Queens Village. Overall, lucky's is definitely a 5 star. read more

I was rather disappointed with my visit here this evening. It took 2 staff members to understand that I wanted a LARGE Tito's with just a little ice and it took a couple of annoying requests to get what ordered. Having always had a good burger here, I made the huge mistake of ordering a recommended hot dog, the "Texas Tommy". Goodness, at almost $9 it was truly boring and totally tasteless- I've had better, super cheap hot dogs from street trucks. Skip the dreadful dogs, order the delicious burgers and make sure you order what you wish to drink from the dopey staff. read more

Met up with a bunch of friends on a Wednesday evening. There were eight of us. We sat upstairs and there were no problems with seating or them accommodating our large party. We ordered food and drinks and were there for over four hours! Our waiter was wonderful! Recommend food or drinks if anyone asked for assistance. I enjoyed the buffalo chicken burger with a side of roadside tots. Everything was great! read more

They have these onion strings with a sauce that is absolutely delicious. The burgers are reasonably priced and if you're not into burgers. They have hotdogs and grilled cheeses. I love the service, the bartenders are kind and sometimes funny. They have sports on in the background or usually a silly program to enjoy the good music choices. The parking here can be difficult but if you're in walking distance. You'll become a regular. They make a solid dirty gun martini, enough said. read more

Lucky's has the best food. At my old place lucky's was two blocks away and I was spoiled with deliciousness. Whenever I visit philly now I make sure to stop by.

Took myself out to lunch after visiting a flea market, all that sorting works up an appetite. Good thing Lucky's always has you covered. I had the Garlic butter tots and cheesesteak hoagie burger of the month, ginger ale and cold brew on tap! Everything was delicious. I sat up in the front near the bar and service was on point. Im pretty sure there were old school cartoons on the tv and for a rainy Saturday afternoon that was awesome. Great vibes and ambiance as always. I'm a big fan of Lucky's since they always do you right by the burger options and the flavor combos. Definitely check them out! read more

Love this divey spot! The burgers were delicious and the service was great. The price of food is reasonable and they have a variety of drinks but the beer we wanted on our visit was out of stock. Ended up with cocktails that were boozy and yummy. For all the pickle lovers out there, try the pickle burger! It was vinegar laden and salty as expected! The shoestring onions were super crunchy and the portion was huge. We sat at a booth that was comfy, the whole place is rather dark as is typical of bars. Definitely want to come back and try the whole menu, hot dogs up next. read more

This is THE spot to get a good burger. I came here with my friends after running the Philadelphia half marathon and there is nothing else that could've brought me more satisfaction than Lucky's burger. I got the Pickle Monster and there was a generous amount of pickle slices- just the way I prefer my burgers. It also came with pickle potato chips in the burger, which was a fun addition and they added a nice crunch to every bite. I was afraid the buns here would be dry based off of photos I saw on Yelp prior to coming here, but the buns were soft and delicious! I would definitely come back to try their other burgers. read more

Good options for vegetarians. All burgers on the menu can be switched to a blackbean or impossible patty. Reasonably priced (better than red robin $15 burgers). Cute little place to hang out on a weekday and our waitress was really nice. I would come back again read more

This place is aptly named, as it really WAS our last chance to grab a late snack before heading back to Jersey! The five of us went full-on "late-night menu" with hot dogs, onion straws, French fries, and burgers. Our server was super cool and helpful with menu suggestions. Everything came out quick and delicious. The chili on the hotdog was insanely good! I would return just for that. We washed everything down with a nice nightcap. I would be remiss if I didn't mention how much I was digging on the late-night music. Jackie Moore, La Flavour, Sylvester - all my late 70's early 80's faves! I was in my glory. Lucky's is walkable from our friends' apartment in Queens Village. No wonder they like their area so much. I am truly jealous. Although my cholesterol would be on the moon if I made this a habit. Two thumbs up! read more

Well this is a really cool spot! I love the menu, I love the prices, I love the location, and the dogs were great! How could you go wrong? I moved to Philly from Louisville, and I really miss this hot dog restaurant we had back in Louisville. I think I finally found a perfect substitute for what I've been craving. On the last occasion, I got the scorpion dog. Loved it. Great heat and flavor to it. Buddy of mine got the veggie burger and said it ticked his boxes. We shared some fries and they did the trick! All told, we got out of there for under $40 after having food and beers. How can you beat that? You simply cannot. And I'm not going to try. Instead, I'll just take myself back to Lucky's whenever I get a hankerin'. read more

Wow. Did we get Lucky picking this for our first dining spot in Philly. 10/10 Recommend. We shared their 2019 award winning Pickle Monster burger. It was the perfect ratio of pickle & delicious burger. We also split the Last chance Coney & added yellow mustard. Wow. Just as good as the burger but in its own unique way. Their chili has a different twist then what we're used to being from Louisville. Let's just say I'm asking Google for a copy cat recipe! The Main Street cheese fries were equally delicious. We're not sure if the cheese is a flavor of Philly or just Lucky's but you can not go wrong. I had the aviator drink & could barely finish. While it's a small cocktail, it's for good reason. ;) Do yourself a favor && just go. Chill vibes all the way around. read more

This place is a wonderful spot for a burger and a drink. I throughly enjoyed the May burger of the month, boom shakalaka. The cheese dipping sauce on the side that came with burger was great for dipping my fries too.

I've been to the Philadelphia burger brawl multiple years and have tried these burgers there but never actually made it to the restaurant. Let me start off by saying I don't know why I've waited so long. Everything my group got was amazing. We had a group of 9 and we all got different burgers and ofcourse passed them all around. 10/10 each one. The service was awesome and fast and the restaurant had a cool artsy vibe. Not the best parking situation but it's worth the trip. read more

Here for the first time last night and can't wait to come back. Turns out Monday is grilled cheese night! As Monday nights should be imo. I didn't take advantage of the grilled cheese menu this time- but already know what I'm getting next time. Last night I got the BBQ burger (cheddar, onion strings, onions, bbq and a spicy aioli) and it was outstanding. I skipped the onions so I could really taste the burger and I was not disappointed one bit. Patties were perfect and flavorful. The ingredients on the burger did not overwhelm the burger. What I liked about the bun is that it wasn't too bready or too thick. My friend got fries- pretty standard crinkle cut fries. And we shared bacon and tomato Mac and cheese. It was great. Like so great that my friend grabbed another order to take home with them for the next day. And the bacon and tomato Mac wasn't even top of their list. So yeah- great. Place is a bar. Wooden tables, wooden bar, random but interesting things on the wall. I loved it. I felt right at home. The staff was great. Everyone was attentive and shared responsibilities making sure we were good. I really felt welcome in a place that I had never been. Parking in the area isn't great. But it's out of their control and it's Philly. read more

It was my last chance in Philadelphia for one more foodie adventure, and Lucky's Last Chance didn't only have the perfect name but also was the perfect place to cap my trip. My boyfriend and I were so cheesesteaked out, so we decided to switch things up and get amazing burgers or sandwiches. I found Lucky's Last Chance on a Google search, and it looked very promising by the overall positive reviews. Y'all did not lead me astray on this one! I loved the customer service, ambiance and food. We arrived around 11:15am on a Sunday. The place wasn't busy at all, and it appeared that we may been the first customers of the day. We chose to sit indoor and were escorted to a cozy booth. It was nice feeling like we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. Lucky us! One thing we loved about Philadelphia is the alternative/rock scene, which was totally the vibe we got at Lucky's Last Chance. My boyfriend is in a pop punk band, so naturally he felt right at home in the restaurant. Shout out to whomever curated the playlist we were listening to. It was fire, and we happily sang along to Weezer, The Killers, Black Keys, etc. while waiting for our food. I ordered the chicken and cheese sammich. Unfortunately I noticed that the chicken was pretty undercooked in the middle. One of the servers sent it back and replaced my order. They did me a solid by taking off this item from the bill but also hooking me up with a piece of fried chicken that was even bigger than the first version! The chicken was fully cooked but was super moist and tender on the inside. Loved the thick and crunchy skin on the outside. My boyfriend ordered the My Boy Bleu burger. I can totally see how Lucky's Last Chance's burgers are award winning. I've had many blue cheese burgers, but I thought My Boy Bleu was one of the best I had. It was pretty simple: juicy medium rare patty, fried onion strings, slice of tomato, and tons of chunky blue cheese. Lucky Last Chance's cheese sauce was money. It was made with good quality cheeses for sure, and it tasted amazing with my chicken sandwich and side of fries with Old Bay seasoning. Lastly, customer service was excellent! All the servers were friendly and helpful. One server in particular expressed genuine concern about my experience with the undercooked chicken and really tried to make things right. I'm very grateful for her going above and beyond. read more

I decided to celebrate national cheeseburger day by trying the award winning PB & bacon burger at Lucky's. I was skeptical, but I'm happy to report that the burger lived up to the hype! Two juicy burger patties covered in melted cheese with perfectly cooked bacon and peanut butter & jelly. With a bun sturdy enough to hold it all together, but still soft. The PB&J basically takes the place of any ketchup or mayo. This burger is awesome! I'm thinking it's the 2nd best burger I've had in Philly.

If you're ever craving a big juicy burger or even a cheat day, Lucky's Last Chance will totally hit the spot! My boyfriend came her once before the pandemic and have been waiting for this place to open back up. Last time we ordered: -coney tots: delicious and good. A bit heavy though bc there was chilli on top. -bacon, egg, cheese burger: DIVINE. Reminds me of a hungover breakfast sandwich that just hits the spot. -el guapo burger : delicious with a nice added crunch from the tortilla chips. The guacamole on it was fresh and so tasty. This time we went with: Peanut Butter and Jelly Burger: we were a bit intrigued but so hesitant, but decided to give it a whirl. This burger is definitely a unique one for sure and it was no surprise that that this burger won 3x in a row at the Philly burger brawl. The jam gives the burger a nice added sweetness, yet the peanut butter gives it a nice savory twist. It was PHENOMENAL. I highly recommend especially if you're someone who's interest is peeked when seeing this burger on the menu. Inferno burger - super flavorful with a big kick, hence the name. It's perfect if you're looking for something more classic with some heat. Junkyard Tots: perfect amount of cheese, bacon, sour cream, and scallions. This was by far my favorite out of the two types of tots I had. We left no stragglers behind! Highly recommend this burger spot, but make sure you're hungry as the burgers were quite filling, especially with a beer on the side . read more
