We have visited the Brainerd/Nisswa area for decades but only last year did we finally get a place…read moreof our own in Lake Shore (yay!) - so instead of hitting our five usual places that we went to on our one precious week each summer (Rafferty's, Zorbaz, Ernie's, Bar Harbor & Quarterdeck), now that we have more time here in the summer, we are branching out and trying some new places, Lucky's among them, and I'm so glad we are! This place was great - super friendly service, reasonable prices, big portions, AND tasty food! Nothing flashy, but everything we tried was good. We had cheese curds and fried green beans to start, my son got shepherd's pie, and my husband and I both got fish & chips, and we got a little two pack of monster cookies to go for dessert (yum) - we would definitely return here!

We went at 5 pm on a Thursday. There were plenty of seats inside and outside, and we decided on…read moreoutside. 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.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the best first experience we were hoping for. The food was…read moredisappointing--it tasted like it had been reheated rather than made fresh, and the quality didn't justify the prices. Service was also lacking. The atmosphere didn't make up for it either. The space felt dark, dated, and sticky, which made it less inviting than we'd hoped. Overall, we left feeling that the experience didn't match the cost. I hope some improvements are made, as this place has the potential to offer a much better dining experience. It is well-known in the area but didn't live up to its reputation.

The menu offers several choices that are unique to the area. In addition to standard "Up North" fare like burgers, there are several Asian inspired dishes that are really good. We've been to sushi night and it really is the best sushi up here (not many options - but it's solid). I've been on a Tuesday and had the Kung Pao Chicken special which is great, and last night we came in and I had the Thai Green Curry which was flavored just right. My husband had the walleye and Jody suggested he order it broiled and he raved about it. Service is super friendly - Jody was a delight, and Tracy and Ryan behind the bar are always friendly and make great drinks. Highly recommended.

Ordered Duck Wontons & a plain burger with a slice of raw onion. 20 minutes later server tells us they're out of wontons, need to select an alternative. Food comes out almost a hour after getting our table. Burger bun was ICE COLD, literally, top & bottom, that cooled the patty. Had others verify I wasn't being too picky. The raw onion on the burger cost $1.00, four rings of a purple onion. Fries, a $2.00 up-charge from chips were cold, soggy, limpy and clearly died waiting for the replacement meal (which lacked seasoning) for the out of stock Duck wontons. Tab came and included a charge for the out of stock Duck wontons. Had to track down our server, point out the error and wait for a corrected tab. Disappointing for a spot that we frequent.
