    The service was good. The food is decent. I ordered a chili cheese dog, chili cheese burger, chicken wings, and fries. The chicken wasn't fresh. The fries were made to order. The hot dogs are beef. The chili cheese burger would've been great had they not put mayo, lettuce, tomato, and onion on it.

    The new fries.

    OMG what's happened to the fries? Rush's please go back to the OG fries. I went to Tush's specifically for their delicious basket of fries and coleslaw. I live out of town so I don't get to indulge as often as when I went to USC. These new fries (changed in 2025?) are crinkle cut and bigger with more crunch and LESS taste. I mean there was nothing. You could get better from the freezer section by grabbing a bag of Ore-Ida fries. A great thing was ruined. I don't have a reason to go to Rush's at all otherwise. Service was good. They are always very quick. Rush's almost always has customers because the ambiance and feel is nice and old school. There are many food items to choose from so do try them out. Just know those fries used to be better!

    After trying another local hot dog place in town, I needed to salvage my tastebuds. Ordered a chili dog basket. There were enough fries for a food challenge. The hot dog itself was tasty, the chili was a bit bland. Overall a bit pricy and just okay.

    Yes sir!!

    Your classic roadside joint. Well known for sure. Exit 9A off of 77. If you have never been, you absolutely must go. You need to get a cheeseburger, a chili dog, french fries and a chocolate shake. That will give you what I call the FULL experience - in more ways than one!! :-) It may not be the healthiest of meals but every now and then, go for it! Highly recommend.

    Chocolate Sundae with nuts
    Yunhea K.

    I never had rushs in NC so when I moved here, I just thought this was a regular place, but it is so delicious. Today I got a chocolate sundae and I never knew ice cream could be so good. Maybe it was because today was a rainy day. I got a chocolate sundae with fudge and walnuts and I think that's the perfect combo. With nuts, it's $4.05. It looked kind of melted but we did have 6 other orders so I wasn't mad about it. We also ordered fries and they were crispy and fresh. I think ice cream and fries are the perfect combo. If you haven't tried rushs (which I think most natives have) , I would definitely come and try their food. Their burgers and fried chicken are amazing as well.

    Hot dog basket with extra dog.

    During the pandemic, this restaurant is only open inside on Saturdays and Sundays. The drive through was open, and had a long line. We were happy it was Saturday so we could go in and eat. Masks were required. We were greeted at the door, and asked to keep six feet between customers - we looked for red spots on the floor to help us. The menu had lots of tempting items - peach and banana milkshakes! We got the hot dog basket with an extra dog (Husband said they were good.) and fries & slaw (both good). I had a cheeseburger with mayo & lettuce only. It was good, too. The tables and booths were marked in such a way as to enforce social distancing. The staff was friendly and efficient. The restaurant itself was very clean. This was better than name brand fast food restaurants. I gave it 4 stars for being very good - not 5 for being exceptional and excellent in all ways.

    Chili cheeseburger
    JJ R.

    Rush's is a nice change to fast food. It is fast food, but it is better than most fast food. The chicken is true southern chicken with nice crisp skin. You can opt for double fries instead of slaw when you order a basket. The chili cheeseburgers are normally supreme, but today it was lacking flavor. The fries were not properly salted. And to top it off, I was handed unsweet tea - maybe it affected my taste buds so I couldn't taste the normally wonderful food.

Our group has 13 and fortunately we had 11 today, which probably was about the most they could've managed at that table. Waiter was great. Took our drink orders and burger orders. Had a variety of orders (Poncho, Classic, Tuesday's Special Ron Swanson's), with regular fries and sweet potato fries. Burgers were very good, everyone happy with the exception of one burger getting dropped on the floor, resulting in that person waiting for about 10 minutes to get a replacement. Meanwhile he chomped on some of his fries. Overall food was great. Only issue is with the loud music. Music is good music, just way to loud. Everytime we go here nobody can here each other talk across the table. (We always sit at the big corner table on the right as you walk in). Fries were okay....nothing special. Burgers are the thing. Wish they would offer some home fries along with the regular and sweet potato fries. Only complaint we have is the loud music. Just tone it down about 3db.

Lucky's menu features a variety of burgers, salads, wings, hotdogs and sides. Don't expect beer on tap, but an extensive selection of bottled beer should satisfy most folks. We ordered a Black and Blu burger with onion straws and a patty melt with fries. From the time we walked in until our food arrived probably took about 25 minutes. That was our own fault as we took way too long deciding what to order. When our food arrived, I immediately dug into the well constructed burger. I could barely open my mouth wide enough. And the taste? Very tasty. My wife enjoyed her patty melt--a burger on marbled rye with cheese and cooked onions that holds up surprisingly well! My onion straws were crunchy and sweet. Fries weren't great, but all in all an enjoyable burger experience. Oh, did I mention entertainment? Well on Tuesdays you can grab a free bingo card and try your luck winning a gift card!
