    Catfish dinner
    Carol T.

    We stopped in to eat before shopping in the area. The service was friendly. The restaurant is half a gambling joint which I am not a fan of! The food tasted fresh. I had the chargrilled chicken sandwich with everything on it. It was tasty but a little pricey. My husband had the catfish dinner which he said was tasty and a good portion for the price as it came with a small salad, fries, coleslaw and cheesy garlic bread. We both tried the bread and personally would prefer just the bread but others may find this an added bonus!

    Pictured: Steak sandwich meal. Nearly $15 for pathetically small sandwich, handful of fries, and a soft drink YIKES

    Way too over priced, judging by the $15 meal I ordered which was a steak sandwich. You expect a little more than just ground up pieces of beef stuck together like a thin burger patty and two slices of tomato and some lettuce, like 5 inches big altogether and no sauce, just dry and depressing. I give it a big fat one star. Never again boys

    are used to love this place now it's just bad .... I will not be going back. I just stop by like 20 minutes ago and got some food for my kids and I then I noticed all the mold on the salad .

    Pretty good food. Decent burger/hot dog/gyro place with a good size menu, and a bunch of menu items you wouldn't normally expect. It was a little pricey, but the portions were good and tasty. My friend substituted fries for fried mushrooms that came with a tartar sauce and they were delicious... so much so that I had to help him eat them Gonna work our way thru the menu, but return to the fries mushroom. I think maybe to justify the prices hand-cut fries would be the way to go... although their fries were pretty good!

    Restaurant review Lucky Dog is not Portillo but it reaches a close second. The restaurant is not too busy at lunch. The food comes out quick and fast to order. The only downside is the price is rather high compared to the competitor Poor Boy down the street. The same combo meal with burger, fries, and drink is about 2 dollars less. The food is similar hot of the grill. Pro: friendly staff, drive through Cons: prices are higher than Poor Boy Hidden gem: Daily lunch specials

    Great horchata!

    Always screw up a grilled chicken salad, after the fact it takes 20 mins for them to make. Never come here

    Had an absolute blast at FatDuck Tavern with friends! We had heard good things about their food and…read moredrinks and it did not disappoint. Their menu is HUGE both of the food and drinks side. Be sure to check out their daily specials or stop in for Happy Hour (Mon-Thurs 4-6pm) for extra discounts. For drinks, we started with the Hugo Spritz, Jalapeño Ginger Lime Spritz, and Prickly Pear Spritz. The Hugo Spritz was my favorite of the night and was super east to drink on a hot day. For food, we shared their famous DuckFat Fries which comes with three dipping sauces. I loved the Garlic Aioli and Chipotle Ketchup but wasn't the biggest of the Mexican Pesto. For entrees, we got a mixture of items. I got the Cheeseburger Sliders but asked for Onion Crisps instead of Caramelized. This was the perfect portion. For me after already sharing fries. My friends got a Pulled Pork Sandwich, Fish Tacos, and Fire Alarm Burger. Everything tasted great but my friend didn't think her burger was too spicy. Overall, I loved the casual atmosphere of FatDuck. Their menu has so many options that there always would be something new to try. Pricing was a little high but portions were very large to offset costs. Highly recommend!

    I love the burgers here and whenever I'm in the neighborhood I like to grab a one. Tonight I…read moreordered the fried egg burger with the duck fat fries and a chocolate brownie a la mode to go. The passion fruit martini was stronger than I expected it to be. Everything was delicious. My server Jayme was being shadowed and they were both quite pleasant. I sat in the dining area with the low tables and it was fairly quiet, the bar side was louder but not too loud. *I wanted to note that the front entrance is not wheelchair friendly as previously indicated, there is a step. UPDATE: I just tasted the chocolate brownie a la mode and if you prefer a more cake-like brownie, then this is the brownie for you. I on the other hand, prefer the dense gooeyness of a classic brownie.

    I'm so glad we finally had a chance to visit. This small little diner is a gem for kids. If you can…read moresit at the counter, it's the place to be--though I think there's only two or three tables away from the countertop, so you probably have a good chance. Anyway, when you sit at the counter, your food is delivered by a little train that runs from the kitchen and stops at your seat. It's clever, it's whimsical, it's amusing. It made me smile as much as or maybe even more than my toddler. (She may have been more excited about the pancakes.) If it's your birthday, they'll send you a birthday cupcake by train and the whole joint will sing you a happy birthday. The food was better than I expected, with a good selection of items. I was considering the 2x4 until I saw the turkey club, which is something I'd actually been craving for weeks and unable to find so I went with that. It hit the spot, and one of the servers brought me some chipotle mayo and said everyone likes it so she brings it to everyone. And she was right, so there's a tip for you to ask for a side of it for your fries or whatever. Once we were finished we went to play! The place has a bunch of ways to entertain your kids. There's a photo booth, some kiddie ride machines, machines with toys and trinkets, claw machines, and more. They all take cash, but if you don't have cash they have at least one and maybe two change machines for you to get quarters. There's a train display at the front of the restaurant for kids to look at too. It's a great place and I'm looking forward to returning. There's no dedicated parking, but there's street parking and a small city lot down the block.
