If you need a bite to eat before or after seeing a movie at Bowtie Chelsea (or, if you're bold, to smuggle into the theater with you) then Lucky's should be your go-to! Later hours than a lot of the fare on the block makes it super handy. And they do one of the most killer chili cheese dogs I've sampled in the City.
The burgers are pretty legit as well – and huzzah for somewhere other than Shake Shack in town who appreciates the joys of the crinkle fry.
Also, they're always very kind to the good people working the Tribeca Film Festival, and provide snazzy discounts for badge holders.
It's a good middle ground between Shake Shack and In N Out.
I'm not saying it's better than either of them, but it is a good nearby alternative that has some slightly different options and is open much later (2AM)!
The Place: The inside of the restaurant is a little disappointing, and didn't seem perfectly clean the few times that I went. It is small, and you order at a tiny counter in the back. I would mainly recommend this place for takeout.
The Food: The burgers, fries, and shakes are all delicious! It feels like a cross between Shake Shack and In N Out. One of their advantages over Shake Shack is that you can get your burgers wrapped in lettuce rather than a bun, making it slightly healthier – Then go ahead and cancel that healthiness out with a delicious cookie milkshake!
The Value: It is more expensive than In N Out but slightly less expensive than Shake Shack. Around the $10-20 region depending on how much you order. It doesn't feel like you are getting a superb value for your money in terms of the amount of food, but the food is still good enough to make it worth it.
Not impressed.
I waited a very long time for a freshly prepared burger. During my wait I watched as several customers came up to send their orders back – all were incorrect.
When I finally received my food, I was not satisfied. It was ok but just tasted like something you'd make at a summer bbq on the grill and just throw together. My burger was small and not worth the price that's for sure. I won't be back.
I got the $6 lucky burger via delivery. It came promptly.
taste was a bit below smash burger. Meat was a tidbit over cooked.
i would like to go in person to give it another shot.
I really like this place! I saw this place last night when I was going to the movies, which is one or two stores up from Lucky's. After the movies, I when in because I had a hankering for cheeseburger. I when it at around 7:30 p.m. and there were only a few patrons in the restaurant. There is ample seating at tables and barstools. I ordered a well done cheeseburger with barbecue sauce and the basic fixins. It was $7 and change, not bad. It took about 5-10 minutes for my ordered. I definitely enjoyed my burger–nice and messy. They were playing really good music so even after I was done eating, I stayed. At one point, I was the only one in the restaurant–but that didn't last long. I decided get an order of fries, that took about another 5 minutes because it's made to order!! That was about $3.86 with tax. I got chipotle mayo and lucky sauce for dipping along with some ketchup packets. OMG, you have to get the lucky sauce, it is soooo good. The employees are friendly and they do an excellent job keeping the place clean. I lost count how many times they took the trash out. Also, people must be a big fan of their delivery service because the delivery guy kept coming in and out with orders. I didn't get any but they have Boylan soda, so you can avoid corn syrup, if that's important to you. I should mention that while they accept credit cards, you have to spend a minimum of $6.00. The next time I'm in the city, I'm coming back to Lucky's!
I stopped in here one late night for a turkey burger, dsweet potatoe fries and a drink. The restaurant was empty and the few people who were there was ordering take out. The staff were cool and my visit was uneventful.
My burger and fries were good but not amazing. The meal took care of my hunger pains. My favorite were the fries and least favorite was the watered down fountain drink.
All in all I would visit again and try some other options on the menu since they had a variety of items to choose.
My review is solely based on my Seamless experience with Lucky's Famous burgers. This is my go-to seamless spot when I'm craving burgers, because of the price, tastiness, and delivery time. I've ordered from both Union Square and Herald Square, and they've been able to deliver within the estimated time (sometimes in 15 min!) always. I always order the make-your-own burger with egg and sauce on the side (otherwise the burger gets too soggy). Plus onion rings- they're big and super crunchy (sometimes a little bid hard). Overall solid food!
Somewhere between Shake Shack and McDonalds. Got the California style turkey burger which was nice and juicy. It, however didn't have any super awesome flavor though. It was decent but underwhelming.
The plain fries dipped in Lucky sauce are to die for.
Wash it down with some Boylan's root beer and you have yourself a solid meal if you're in the area.
