The onion is still crunchy and they are never greasy. This time I shared the Steak & Cheese sandwich as well. Wow! That is huge and delicious! No way I could eat a full one on my own. The meat was so tender with American cheese, onions, mushrooms and green peppers. My only adjustment would be lighter on the peppers and a little more mushrooms. The place is clean and friendly. Don't let the Mesa strip mall keep you away. After eating, check out the produce market across the street for some great deals!

First things first, it was hot in the restaurant, potentially the A/C was not working as well as it should have been or something, but it was not super comfortable. The service was good, I didn't get her name, a younger woman waited on me and she was very kind and did the best she could. The food came out super slow, I ordered empanadas to start, the waitress said they burned the first order (I appreciated that didn't just serve me overdone empanadas lol) once they finally arrived they were just unfortunately bland, and just kind of lacked authenticity. When she finally brought out my main dish, she even apologized for the wait and said "I had to go yell at them". For a main entree I ordered the French dip with onion rings, another reviewer mentioned they were the best they had had. The meat was kind of tough and dry (which is odd for a French Dip, and everything just lacked flavor. Even the au jus really had no kind of salt or much flavor to it. I really hoped after seeing how everyone else rated this place that I had found that little hole in the wall spot putting out killer food that we all long for, sadly this wasn't it.

I came from Nevada. Even as a child in 1958 I can remember the delicious prime rib, baked potatoes, salad, served with horseradish.

I always wonder how they get the glorious food to the right table. They are always helpful and friendly. I have never had a server that looks around at other tables while taking my order.

From the moment you walk in, the customer service stands out. The people working there are always welcoming and inviting. You're greeted like a regular, even if it's your first time. That kind of warmth makes all the difference, especially after a long day out with the family. It's the perfect place to head after spending time at Pecan Lake Entertainment or Fat Cats. Instead of battling crowds and higher prices, you can come here, sit down comfortably, and enjoy a great meal at a much more reasonable price. Whether it's a family night out or a casual date night, it just fits. The food? Consistently good. We started with two bowls of clam chowder. They were decent -- I'm not sure if the to-go order affected the texture or temperature a bit -- but still enjoyable. Not the star of the night, but solid. The wings are always good, perfectly satisfying for a sports grill vibe. The pierogies were delicious and comforting. The Thai chicken salad was fresh and flavorful. But the standouts this visit were definitely the French dip -- absolutely amazing, tender and packed with flavor -- and the blackened chicken breast served with rice pilaf and broccoli almondine. Every bite of that plate was fantastic. Well seasoned, well cooked, and generous portions. They also have amazing weekly dinner specials, which makes it easy to keep coming back without breaking the budget. I'm already planning to come back for the Friday fish fry and to try the prime rib -- I've heard great things. This has become one of our go-to spots. It's reliable, comfortable, reasonably priced, and welcoming every single time. If you're in the area and want great food without the higher price tag of Pecan Lake or Fat Cats, definitely keep this place in mind. It's a perfect, easy win for a relaxed night out.

    This is the second time dinning at The Vig at Dana Park and tonight we sat out on the large patio…read more The patio has plenty of seats and has both misters and heating lamps making it possible to use year round We kicked things off with the pretzel served with queso and house mustard--perfect for sharing. The queso was rich without being too heavy, and the mustard added a nice contrast. For my meal, I had the Caesar salad topped with a bistro steak cooked a perfect medium rare. The romaine was crisp, the garlic-anchovy dressing bold, and the garlic croutons and parmesan tied everything together. The steak was tender, flavorful, and elevated the salad. At the table, we also ordered the cheesesteak with Angus beef, roasted peppers and onions, Havarti cheese, and garlic aioli served on a baguette, with sweet potato fries. The sandwich was hearty and satisfying, and the fries were really good The wagyu burger was another standout--topped bacon, Gruyère and smoky blue cheese, caramelized onions, tomato jam, and garlic aioli on a pub bun. The beef and bacon were fabulous and the fries cooked to perfection Jake, our server, was terrific--attentive, friendly, and helped make the whole experience even better. We finished with the butterscotch bread pudding topped with vanilla gelato and caramel sauce, which was the perfect ending--warm, comforting, and just the right amount of sweetness Overall, a great patio dining experience with flavorful dishes, excellent service, and plenty of variety.

Mason was on point with all aspects of service, he was attentive, welcoming, and really made us feel at home. I was also impressed with the new bartender whose name I didn't catch but it was her first night and I would have never known unless she told me. She was friendly personable and slinging drinks like she'd been there for a while. Great job to both of them! As for the food, it was phenomenal as expected but a special call out needs to be made for the butterscotch bread pudding. It was complementary for my birthday and I probably would have never tried it before but it turned out to be the best bread pudding I've had in ages. So tender and sweet delicious!! 5 stars. Highly recommend!

We came in with our family and three kids and sat on the patio since we were a larger group. After eating, our kids were sitting in chairs near our table, chatting and moving around a bit. They weren't being loud or disruptive, but a nearby a couple clearly seemed upset. The woman was shaking her head and saying to the waitress "this isn't okay to be doing while people are eating", pointing toward our kids. Once I realized this, I immediately called my kids back over and had them sit with us, and I even let her know that if something was bothering her, she could've told us and I would have addressed it right away. The couple chose to ignore us and left shortly after. The manager then came out and reassured us that Lucky Lou's is a family-friendly restaurant and that our kids were absolutely fine. That meant a lot to us and really showed how supportive and understanding the staff is. I also hope one day that couple realizes how hard it is to keep a 4-, 6-, and 8-year-old sitting at a table for more than 30 minutes without shoving an iPad in front of them. On top of that, the service was excellent, the atmosphere was welcoming, and I honestly had the best burger and tater tots of my life. We'll definitely be back--thank you for creating such a kid-friendly and enjoyable place for families!
