Lucky’s Famous Burgers

Lucky’s Burgers were tasty and the fries are fried crunchy which I love. This helps the fries uphold with the delicious cheese sauce that’s optional. The burger had pink, more than I would have liked. I don’t mind pink in steaks and burgers but not too much in a burger. It would be helpful if they asked you how you want it cooked or notify you up front. Hence the reason for 4 stars. The strawberry shake was also delicious. I definitely plan to go back and give it another go. I love cheeseburgers so it won’t be hard to go back!
The place is small and cozy. It got pretty packed around lunch so be mindful of that. It has a 70s/​80s theme with bar stools for window seats and booths with chairs. Not the biggest restaurant but the theme is very cute! If you like burgers, you’ll like Lucky’s.

About a year ago I used to love ordering from Lucky’s. The burgers were always great, well cooked with great sauces. I especially loved their loaded fries.
I recently moved back to NYC and decided to order from them again. My burger unfortunately was very dry with no flavor but the thing that really disappointed me was that there were no lucky’s special sauce in there! The fries were good but had become soggy which might be my fault because I picked up the food and walked back home instead of having it delivered.
I may or may not give them a chance in future.

For NYC it’s a decent size burger joint– enough room to sit and enjoy your meal. The burger could have been a little bit larger –but it was very tasty. I think the reviews overhyped this establishment … The food was satisfying but not ridiculously amazing.
Friendly staff .

The burgers could be a little bigger, but overall the food is nothing short of the greasy deliciousness you would expect from such a joint! We ordered for pickup at 8:30 on a Friday night and it was ready in under 15 minutes.

On my friend’s last day in NYC, she mentioned that she really wanted a burger. I was interested in finding something a bit low key, the hole-​in-​the-​wall type of spot, something with a simple concept, a condensed menu, and that’s exactly what I found at Lucky’s.
I especially like the layout of the menu — easy to navigate and the details of each item are all provided. My friend ordered the Hell’s Kitchen and I settled on the Chelsea. We spit an order of smokin’ fries (the cajun seasoning adds heat and a smoky flavor to the fries).
Good burgers, seasoned well, very flavorful, and the components for each individual style work in their respective fashion.

omg it is the BEST burger place EVAR! The burgers are so good that i recommend eating there whenever you can! You MUST try their bacon on a burger or plain. They have a regular soda machine but it works good. Keep in mind that there are a lot of Luckys around New York City.

Tastes good. Way too overpriced. Two plain cheeseburgers costs $ 15. Complete rip off.

I eat meat. Sorry to all my veggie and vegan friends, but I’m a carnivore. Not that I don’t like my veggies — I still do, as long as they’re alongside a big slab of red MEAT!
As a long-​time Hell’s Kitchen resident and inept cook I’m always on the prowl for a juicy burger. I stopped in at Lucky’s to try them out for lunch the other day. Definitely not the best burgers in HK but not too bad either they’re worth a shot. I liked the fact that you can build your own burger (starting at $ 6). I chose the 100% Angus Beef patty with Jalapeño Pepperjack cheese, BBQ sauce, and grilled mushrooms wrapped in a Martin’s Potato Bun (lettuce, tomato, raw onions, grilled onions, pickles, and jalapeños come with it for free).
I ordered my burger bloody rare but it came to me medium. Not wanting to be a PITA I kept it anyway. Flavorful yet a bit overcooked for my liking it was decent. I’d stay away from the BBQ sauce though. I did thoroughly enjoy their signature ’ Lucky’s Loaded Fries ’ (they come smothered in Angus beef Chili, jalapeños, chopped onions, bacon, cheddar cheese sauce & sour cream). YUMMY for my tummy but KILLER for my arteries.
It’s great that they’re open till nearly 5:00am on the weekends, and I bet get a ton of business by the drinkers out there. Maybe I’ll go back when I have a few in me and try them again, but until then I’ll stick with my favorite burger in the Kitchen over at Island Burgers.

Got a late night craving that can hit the spot, but you know is horrible for your arteries? Lucky’s is your place. Their loaded french fries is a must-​get — these freshly fried potatos are topped with a delicious chili sauce, cheese, jalapenos & sour cream. For even more flavor, dip those fries into the signature Lucky’s sauce. Highly, highly recommend.

Cheeseburger Med rare, ketchup, and LETTUCE with fries. I also got a root beer. I work near here I’ve ordered three times and my order is never right! Than the girls on the phone are nasty! How?! Pretty much they forgot the lettuce and I called back and usually I’d just have them send it to me but she was so nasty I was like no just send my money back! How are you nasty when you guys messed up!!! Where is the manager of this place!!!
I also called for extra ketchup I offered to pay for the extra ketchup apparently I’m not allowed more than four packs. Even though I offered to PAY for them. Jennifer took my order.
Great alternative to this place is American Retro they don’t have all the same food but if you’re going for just a buger give them a call.

If you want just a good ol’ classic cheeseburger, fries, and a milkshake that’s not too expensive, but way better than McDonalds, then here’s a good place! They have some cool sauces you can put on your burger or just get on the side, as well. Staff was nice, too!
It was a good burger, what else can I really say? Nothing to call home about, but I was definitely happy and full when I left.

Way overrated and way over priced! Burgers are truly nothing special, you’d be better off finding a five guys or going elsewhere. 13 $ for a double cheeseburger, I won’t be back!

THIS IS FOR THE EAT24 ORDER:
What I got:
Turkey burger with added toppings: sauteed onions, sauteed mushrooms, pepperjack cheese, jalapenos, and pickles.
Sweet potato fries on the side.
Food:
Definitely not the healthiest but…
The turkey burger hit the spot– it was delicious! I bet it tastes better when you actually dine in. Since I got mine delivered, the bun was a bit too soft. But the meat was perfectly juicy and cooked, the toppings werent overwhelming and were properly sauteed like I had asked. The sweet potato fries were no where near crunchy or crisp, they were just too oily and super limpy. But given that I didnt dine in and had it delivered on a super windy, rainy NYC evening, I won’t complain too much.
Service:
My 4 stars mainly stem from the fact that delivery was so quick and they also paid attention to any extra notes I made, like sending an extra plate and mustard on the side. I find it hard to have reliable delivery in NYC but this place seems attentive.
Price:
Eh, average. I spent $ 16 for food and tip included so it wasn’t bad, but I’d definitely get more bang for my buck if I had gone elsewhere.
Will I order again?
Idk about order, but if I’m around, I’d be curious to dine in and see if theres any difference in the quality of the food.

One double patty cheddar cheese burger with fries and a cup of coke (combo), cost 14 bucks before taxes. The burger itself is just mediocre. Considering the size, and ingredients’ quality of the burger, it’s expensive $$$ even for tourist area. I don’t know who rated this burger shop cheap $, maybe they come from Saudi Arabia.
There is a «tip» option on credit card receipt. I paid $ 3 that I expect someone bring the food to my seat at least. But no, there is ZERO service. Then why the heck suggesting «tips» on the receipt? Horrible experience.

Went here today for lunch I like the interior small cozy but still breathing room. I order the lucky cheddar combo meal which was ah good price especially because of location; the food took a while but this just assured me that the burger was being made fresh. My burger had everything on it you can tell they seasoned it with pepper which I love the cheese was melty. The fries were regular but still good the lucky sauce taste similar to fry sauce all and all will come back.

Pretty good price/​taste point! The combo is worth it. I’ll definitely go back the next time I’m the hood.

Burger wrapped in lettuce! Need I say more to all you low-​carb eaters! The burger is nicely salted and peppered and so not bland. And you can literally eat it like a burger the way they wrap it up.
I usually buy two at a time. One to save for later. Oh, And did I mention the price is right? $ 6!!!
One of my fave burger places now!

The staff here were super friendly. I got a cheeseburger with egg & avacado and fries with cheese on the side. The burger was a little more well done than I would’ve liked and the fries were a little hard but the overall quality of the food was good. The «lucky sauce» is yummy and the cheese cup they give you on the side of your fries is huge! This wasn’t my first time here and it won’t be my last. I recommend this place to anyone who is looking for a late night bite.

The best part, truly, is that it’s open really really late. Like post-​clubbing late. And you all know that you get hungry at that time. This location in Hell’s Kitchen is great because there’s plenty of nightlife nearby.
It’s not a huge place — more of an order and pick up, but they do have some small tables and a bar-​like area looking outside (open to the sidewalk area).
They sell the items you’d expect. Burgers, fries, onion rings, hot dogs. Comes out in about 10 minutes, and the food ain’t bad at all! The onion rings were awesome and crispy. The fries were addictive. And the burgers just greasy enough to soak up some of that gin in your stomach.
The place is also a hot mess at 3am, so people watching is fantastic.

Somewhere between a fast food and a restaurant quality burger, but closer to fast food.
*Note* My review is based on take-​out only.
Food: 3 Stars
Overall there is nothing bad or amazing about the burgers at Lucky’s.
Since I am a rather picky eater, the first part of the menu I go to is to build my own burger. The options are slightly limited in comparison to other burger places that offer, but the price is right for what you are getting.
Most of the items are standard as well as their prices.
The meat seems to be typically cooked at medium-​well. There is no option to choice the temperature of the meat (rare, med-​rare). I am uncertain if they serve the burgers at any other temperature.
The burger overall is alright. You are provided with a decent sized beef patty (I am uncertain of the ounces). The bun isn’t too appealing.
The fries are above average. I could sit and eat them as my main meal.
Service (Cashier): 3.25 Stars
The service is rather lackadaisical in the front, but I am sure the cooks in the back are preparing food like crazy (at least I hope they are).
There has never been a real lunch rush each time I have come here, but I usually arrive past 1pm. The cashiers never look that energetic.
I personally don’t care how they are as long as they don’t mess up my food and the transaction goes smoothly.
Speed: 3.5 Stars
Every time I have order my food online it is ready by the time I arrive there 15 – 20 minutes after I place my order.
Ambiance: 2.75 Stars
The décor is very fast-​foodish. I think this is what they are going for, but again the food is a level above fast food. I feel more comfortable there than most other fast food restaurants. It is cleaner than most fast food restaurants as well, but it is significantly smaller.
Overall: 3 Stars
The burgers are better than most fast-​food level restaurant, but Lucky’s setup is similar to a fast food restaurant. This is probably their goal, but I feel it cheapens the burgers they serve there.
If you are looking for a quick decently sized burger, then Lucky’s may be the right choice for you. There are many places in the area you can find better burgers, if you are willing to pay a little more (and one for a large amount less).
