Lucky’s Famous Burgers
“You can go a bit healthier with the Boylan soda fountain, but you'll get a meal full of beef, perfectly fried potatoes and of course the sauce.”
“Cute little fast food joint next to the Landmark Sunshine theater, with $10 burger/fries/drink specials.”
“Shirelle was so helpful and not only described ALL of the veggie burgers to me but also suggested the "lettuce wrap".”

Came in here for a quick bite to eat after having a few drinks at the bar next door. Nothing to write home to about, but it definitely wasn't a bad burger either. +1 star for having chipotle mayo on demand.
Surprisingly customer service was good. Whoever was in the register on 3/15/14 around midnight provided good customer service. Only downside was our food kinda took a while.
Burger was actually pretty good. Their sauces are yummy and I want more. Fries are decent. They a drink dispenser for their organic (I think) sodas.
Place is kinda dirty. But they keep everything stocked.
It's not only good for after clubbing, it's also good for before clubbing.
Stopped here after enjoying a night on the town in les. We stopped in after a few drinks and were looking or some satisfying snacks. We decided that the fries would be perfect.
We ordered the seasoned fries which were exactly what we needed. They were cooked fresh to order, hot, crispy and perfectly seasoned.
You also need to try the special house sauce they have in these large bottles. This sweet creamy concoction can she shameless used to drench fries, burger, fingers, chicken, or whatever is available. 10/10 would purchase of if they sold it.
This is a place to check out after a night out before you start your cleanse.
I stopped by here Saturday after a relatively heavy night of drinking and I must say…this was pretty disappointing even while having drunchies!
I got the chili cheese dog with cajun-seasoned fries. The hot dog was just ok, but kind of on the bland side. The fries, however, were so incredibly salty, that I was dying of dehydration after and was forced to buy a bottle of water to wash down the saltiness.
The Lucky sauce was interesting though – I liked it!
If you are running late for your Midnight movie at Sunshine, haven't eaten dinner yet, missed your opportunity to get Indian food because someone got way too caught up in playing beer pong, and there really just isn't enough time to run to get empanadas. . . . this might be your last saving grace of an alternative for food before a show. What a scenario!
The bad qualities: It took forever for them to make a cheese dog. Not really sure why but our hamburgers came out first before the hotdog. Also, everything is a little way too ridiculously priced for fast food burgers. I get that they are trying to be California and gourmet. They even have a sauce that resembles "animal style" sauce but that's just chipotle mayo or ketchup and mayo. Regardless, when my food came, I inhaled my meal. The number 1 because I couldn't read at this point: Lucky Cheddar Burger Original Style (which means onion, lettuce, pickle, tomato, ketchup & mustard) and asked for chipotle mayo sauce to just be slathered on. Not sure what their famous Lucky's sauce is but there's only one way to find out! The burger in itself was pretty good. But nothing extraordinary. I liked how moist it was but at the same time nothing different i'd find at Shake Shack or possibly In N' Out. Which I imagine is better, but I've never had it before. The style is just very similar.
My friend's boyfriend got a Number 1 done Buffalo Style: Buffalo sauce, lettuce, tomato, shredded carrots, and bleu cheese. Interesting combination. I think he really liked it. And Steph had a Lucky Cheese dog without the chili. Which took freaking forever to cook.
But with all of the combos we had what you never find in most restaurants or fast food establishments – crinkle cut fries. I find those rather elusive and almost the perfect French fry for dipping in ketchup and various sauces. Another bonus to the place is the amount of soda fountain drinks they have to offer. Various Joes Tea's and Lemonades, including both Peach and Raspberry, Black Tea. A slew of Boylan's Sodas: Both regular and diet Black Cherry (AMAZING), Root beer, Ginger Ale, Cream Soda. Coke, Sprite, Dr. Pepper, Fanta ffs, and Hi-C fruit punch. Go crazy in sampling. Because I sure did and I don't even like soda. I would seriously up this to 4 stars if it was both faster and more affordable. But $11 for a fast-food style hamburger and fries is just too much for what it is.
I came here with friends to grab a quick turkey burger. My burger along with sweet potato fries were good ,they have a spicy mayo dressing which went very well with the burger and the fries. (The downside is they messed up on my friend's burgers, forgot their orders do they ended up waiting
20+ minutes for food. The management did not offer them any discounts or sincere apology for the mess up. When you mess up, customer service expectation should be met and a discount would've been applied or comped food! The workers at front seems miserable and don't like their jobs! Good turkey burgers .., a bit pricey and long wait for food so defeats the purpose of fast food!
In my week with my friend in NY, I went here twice. Once in the afternoon and once late night. It's not fine dining, but if you're craving a burger and fries/sweet potato fries/onion rings with creamy sauce… this place hits the spot!
The burger was hot and juicy,the onion rings were crispy, and the sweet potato fries were bomb.
They have options other than beef burgers, but who wants to eat healthy late night?
Here is a list of reasons why Lucky's may seem like a fantastic idea:
+ It's late, they're open and close to the 2nd avenue F train.
+ You're ravenous and your booze-fueled veins are crying out for greasy fast food.
+There's a lot of red and yellow in their decor and branding so you might think it's comparable to In-N-Out burger or MickeyDs…yanno, if you're weird.
To be honest, I wouldn't run to return here unless I really had to because Lucky's is super duper overpriced for what they are.
I'm insanely picky sometimes (ie. always) when it comes to burgers so when we decided to have a 10 minute diner session before a midnight movie screening at Sunshine Cinemas next door, I decided to go with a "Lucky Cheese Dog" – was it lucky because it cost me $10 for one hot dog and half of my friend's fries that came with her meal? Have I paid $10 for a hot dog before? YES, has it come with my own set of fries – YES and has it come with more toppings than just 1? – Hell yeah (Japadog, I'm looking at you).
Maybe if there is a next time I'll just get fries though because they're crinkle cut, a really perfect "fried to potato" ratio and Lucky's has a grand selection of wonderous dipping sauces that made my taste buds happy.
3 stars.
