Excellent food, great staff. Nice selection of drinks all with a bit of an Irish influence.

We went at 5 pm on a Thursday. There were plenty of seats inside and outside, and we decided on outside. Plenty of parking available when we went. Food 5/5: the outside of this place gives dive bar vibes, but the food absolutely wow'd us. We got pretzels and the fried green beans for appetizers, both were very good. It was a cooler summer day, so many of us opted for the comfort food. I got the chicken and it was spiced absolutely perfectly. The rice was done to perfection, the chunks of chicken complimented by the sauce. I would absolutely go back for just that. They have a great menu selection and great kid meal options. Service 5/5: our waitress was very friendly and attentive. She took our order quickly and the food also came quickly. Ambiance 5/5: like I said earlier, this place gives dive bar vibes from the outside. The inside is definitely more elevated. Plenty of room and seating with a great patio for nice days. read more

Wings here were great. The drinks are awesome, but the food can improve. The service is kind of bad they haven't even checked on us yet. Took a little while for them to come back and take our order. But the ambience is nice. Love the signs and lights. read more

Lucky's is a good place to stop in and eat after walking through all the cute shops in town. We all enjoyed the raspberry iced tea. Two of us shared the Tater Toches (tater tot nachos). They were quite different, especially with the black olives on top, but still tasty. The other person with us has Celiac's and there was nothing on the menu for her. That's a shame, you would think the restaurant could offer at least one option that is gluten-free. Otherwise, our server was very friendly and efficient and it was a comfortable tavern type atmosphere. read more

Rented bikes in Nisswa and biked to Pequot Lakes. Biked to and climbed the fire tower, then biked here. Lucky's was a recommendation, and it was solid. Service was friendly, if a bit on the slow side. But I'm at the lake in the summer, service is going to be slow. I'm on vacation, not in any rush. I had a turkey wrap situation that was very average. My sisters split the fish tacos, and they ate everything. Kiddo had some sort of burger and devoured it. Big winner were the deep fried pickles. The outside patio was covered and nice. I'd come back. read more

This is THE place to go for great food and fun in the Highway 371 corridor north of Brainard. Super menu, and Specials every day. Saturday and Sunday Breakfast with Drink Specials. Happy Hour, Meat Raffles, Bingo, and Pull Tabs. read more

We stopped into Lucky's before we started shopping in downtown Pequot. I have been coming up to Pequot my whole life and somehow missed this gem! They have a great menu, which includes comfort foods, which were very good! The service was also excellent. We had a minor miscommunication with our server (we had asked for gravy on the side, she thought we meant extra gravy). However, it was quickly and easily resolved. This is a restaurant I will definitely recommend and return! read more

We had a group of about 20 & this place usually is a 'you seat yourself'. Royce was our server and did a great job! Even when it got busy, he was very attentive. The food is decent and it is not over priced. They also have dessert items either listed on a special board or you can buy some at the door. They do have an outdoor patio which is covered.. There is a small arcade upstairs and it includes a pool table. read more

Great service! Great food! Dog friendly on patio! We love their lunch specials! Every server we have had has been great and attentive, even if it was just us two out on the patio. We have really enjoyed everything we ever ordered to eat there. read more

Gave 3 stars to balance 4. I would rate 3.5 overall. Nice selection of beers. Not overwhelming but nice. $6.75 for 22 oz during happy hour. Chipotle chicken wrap. $16. I got with coleslaw. Presentation was boring but food was good. My wife and a friend had the Ruben $16. They said it was OK. (Main reason for 3 stars ) Several Decker H was very friendly especially to the locals. He provided reasonable service to us. read more

First time ever and will NOT be the last. The place was jam packed on a lovely snowmobile perfect Saturday for lunch. We enjoyed an on tap Guinness (YUM!) pretzel bites (thanks to our superb server Katie for the suggestion.). Plenty of bites for four, too many for two. We bought extra cheese dip to bring home to serve with our leftovers bites. I ordered an Aloha Chicken sandwich. Tender, delicious teriyaki sauce infused chicken breast on a pretzel bun with pineapple slices and thinly sliced but out so flavorful ham. Outstanding. My husband ordered the chicken breast w/avocado, tomato and lettuce. He was underwhelmed. The toasted bun came with one packet of mayo, but could have used three more. We both opted for Tater tots. Crispy, golden brown outside. Creamy texture inside. The portions are generous, with a capital GENEROUS. We both brought have of our meal home. Popular place. Good food. LOTS of big screen TVs. We'll be back! read more

The food is absolutely amazing. I highly recommend the breakfast buffalo burger! It was delicious and the perfect amount of spice! It was a bit loud as there was a pretty big game going on at the bar, but it was such a wonderful experience! They have an arcade upstairs to entertain the kiddos, and the servers are as nice as can be! I definitely recommend heading to Lucky's for dinner either on a date night or with the family! read more

Great bar- Servers and bar staff keep up with high volume. Food is timely and HOT! Atmosphere is updated and comfortable. NOT a dive bar, but casual. Pull tab heaven for those who play... and win! Pot pie is delightful, wholesome comfort food. "Frickles" are good! House made fried pickle spears accompanied with ranch. read more

Come hungry, come with expectations to wait on Monday night for their fried chicken special, and come back the next day for lunch because you enjoyed the food so much! We walked in to find Lucky's so fully packed - no joke, we found the last open table in the back corner. Service was spotty but understandably so because their staff were all running around trying to keep up. We go the onion petals to start (strong skip, they were lackluster and boring) but the stars of the show were worth the wait. The fried chicken was juicy, salty, and hit the spot. The shrimp po boy ended being the A+ surprise none of us expected - 6 large, plump shrimp fried perfectly - flavored and sauced spot on. We enjoyed the meal so much that we found ourselves back the next day for afternoon happy hour and enjoyed a whole different batch of sandwiches that were just as tasty. read more

Lucky's Tavern - Five people. Not bad in today's world. - Irish Near Me - Pequot Lakes, Minnesota

Went here after a basketball tournament, they were packed mid day but the service was great and food was hot! Will definitely go back.

Good outside covered patio. Salmon club sandwich. And pretzels bites. Good variety of food.

Love this place!!! From the start they had me at Hungarian Mushroom Soup. Over the years it's always stayed consistent and never leaves you disappointed. The shepherds pie wasn't as flavorful as I was expecting, but not everything can feast your favor. Everything else I've tried here is fantastic from the lasagna, wild rice casserole, wraps, pizzas etc. read more

Our favorite for years, Lucky's has comfortable seating, friendly servers, and consistently delicious food!

If I could give 0 stars I would. Sat at the bar, the bartender was so rude to me, she made fun of me to the entire bar. I burst into tears. she never apologized and only continued to make fun of me. I would never make a customer feel like that. read more

AYCE Fish fry was a bust. Frozen, not hand battered. My bad, I should have asked. Great service and atmosphere tho. read more

This is the small town bar-restaurant so you're going to cater to the town's needs. This means be aware of what night you are eating in as you might arrive on BINGO night or a meat lottery wherein the eating experience could be ruined. The upstairs arcade space is great for the kids to enjoy, but is currently closed for COVID. The bathrooms are clean and the food is alright - I've eaten everything from the fried apps to the po'boy and the consistent rating would be a 7 out of 10. The staff are nice, local and friendly... but that means they also get caught up in conversation with THAT GUY at the bar who won't leave her alone. You might wait 30 minutes for an app or it could rush right out. The location is always clean, never a wait, but the environment varies from night to night depending on community events to be aware. read more

Awesome food. Fast service. Good prices. I had the prime rib melt sandwich and it was perfect.

Good food, reasonably priced. I liked tv's with multiple sports options to watch. No waiting for a table.

Got to love the friendly service, tasty food, and refreshing bevvies during the Vikes game on Saturday- best comeback in NFL history!! The place was rockin with screams, high-fives and free drink chips ! Thanks for your always hospitality read more

This place surprised me. I thought it would be the typical small town bar and grill but they go the extra mile with their food. Special sauces with their sweet potato fries, green onions in the smashed potatoes, house made Cole slaw, etc. I had the Cuban sandwich which had some very tasty pulled pork and extra crispy tater tots. My wife got the chicken dinner special: lots of food for only $5.95! And it was good food! Chicken was moist and crispy. Uncommon in many places but not here. Our server was very nice and outgoing. She was very busy but remained pleasant throughout our experience. A side note: We didn't have any pizza, but the table next to us did and it smelled very good! read more

We love everything about this place EXCEPT for Kate the bartender! Hoo boy. Not nice in ANY sense of the word . Steer clear of this gal if you want to have any fun at Luckys! Everyone else is great but she makes us miserable every visit. Wrong job for Kate. read more

super cute spot in pequot. great local bar vibes and cheap beers. we didn't eat but the menu looked like it had lots of great options! we went on the fourth so it was kinda hard to get a table and the Bloody mary's were expensive (but what can you expect on a holiday)! overall great ambiance and would go back my next time in pequot. read more

Pick-up order of a salad and Reuben w tots. Service was decidedly icy due to the fact that I was wearing a mask. Of course you recognize, I wear a mask in respect to others, in this case your patrons who were largely elderly. Food was decent - service cold and unkind. Don't have to return and definitely won't. But I'm sure you've got plenty of business. You don't need me or anyone else who chooses to wear masks, right? read more

Took my sister here for a birthday breakfast. Food was great! Sadly the vibes were ruined because our server was rude and refused to give us birthday cake. She didn't listen to us and messed up our order. She didn't care to fix it when I tried asking. On top of that she was extremely crabby and smacked stuff around at the table. read more

Awesome pot pie today at lucky's. Waitress was friendly and efficient. Love the food there.

Had a good time, food was great, bartender was helpful, only drawback is that we thought the pool tabs were rigged, guys next to us hit every jackpot on 4 different games within an hour. Was just thought that was odd. read more

Ate here in the Spring and was very satisfied. Ate there this past week and was very disappointed. The French fries are NOT the same as in the Spring. I paid 1.50 extra to get them and got a scanty serving of shoe string fries. The mushroom and Swiss burger I ordered came with a freezer burnt bun. ( Guess I should have ordered the chicken as it was the special for the night.). Apparently they were short staff as our waitress never came back to see if our meal was okay. Didn't see her again until she handed us our check. read more

Great place to go have dinner or lunch or watch a sport they have pretty good food and decent service

We love coming here when we're up north! The food is good and offers a variety, making it easy to find something for everyone. A hidden slice of awesome is their pizza. The sauce is so good and they have plenty of cheese on every slice! Finally, they have an arcade area upstairs that the kids love. Only downside is that there aren't servers up there so you end up needing to be in two places at once. read more

Great place to eat food is always good waitresses are always nice. I have never ever had a bad meal since they have opened
