review :: We had the pleasure of eating at Lucky's Pub, thanks to the Great Urban Race starting and finishing there. Let me preface by saying, we did not eat anything all day. Our first meal was at Lucky's at around 4 in the afternoon. So, this review could be swayed by the fact that we would probably eat just about anything at the time.

I ordered the Lucky Burger and added Pepper Jack cheese, with a side of fries and for my hubby, he ordered the swiss and mushroom sliders with fries. I scarfed it down so fast, I think I may have forgotten to chew. The meat was pretty good, it did not taste frozen or fried. It had the right amount of juiciness to meatiness. I think the fries were the frozen variety, but they added a little bit of seasoning to it, that I didn't mind too much. As for the sliders, I only had one bite of them, but the hubby seemed to enjoy all three of them. I didn't care for the tomatoes on the bottom of the bun, but like I said, he didn't seem to mind.

For the price of the food, I think I would've gone somewhere else to enjoy a burger and fries. But, being in the moment with good friends and a great event, I didn't mind it too much.

review :: Located north of downtown this little hole in the wall is a little hard to find but well worth the search. They serve hamburger and hot dogs. Both excellent. I got the Frankenstein - sauerkraut and spicy mustard - topped with sweet cool relish. Husband bypassed the cleverly named hamburgers and wanted just a regular with avocado and ketchup and a bottle of Coke. We split an order of fries. Total cost $13 not including tip. Not bad at all consider the portion side. They brought out my hot dog first. Nestled in a large bun that resembled a hoagie bun but was soft and fluffy it was brimming with sauerkraut, spicy mustard and relish. They did not skimp out on the condiments. The Boarshead dog was juicy, plump and much larger than a normal hot dog. Husband's hamburger came out next. I didn't see the size of the patty but the bun was huge. Our crinkle fries came out last, hot from the fryer and dusted with a delicious seasoning we kept popping them like pills even though they scorched our mouths.

Will definitely return again when I get a hot dog hankering.
