   I was pretty set on trying the Jambalaya , as I have read the reviews and going to a Southern Kitchen, I thought it was the right choice as when in Rome... I'm sure it would have been great, but after chatting with a few of the wait staff, I was convinced to try the short rib. One word: WOW! The Short Rib with green beans and mashed potatoes could not possibly have been better. Tender, sliced with a fork on it's side, it just melted in my mouth! Cooked and seasoned perfectly! My son ordered the Salmon w/mashed potatoes and said it was at least tied for the best he's ever had. My girlfriend had the catfish and gave it an "8" and we finished with the peanut butter pie - OMG! You know, sometimes you go to a restaurant with great reviews and high expectations and you are just let down. Lucky32 was the opposite. Came in with high expectations and left saying that this is one of the best all around restaurants I have ever been to. All of this at a fair price! My family and I are now new regulars. See you guys soon!

   We took an out-of-town friend to Lucky 32 because we thought it would be a good place to treat him to local fare. We weren't disappointed. The service was excellent, and everybody raved about their food.

   As usual, the food at Lucky 32 was delicious. Our server was very nice, polite and attentive. The bar was backed up, so it took 20 minutes for our cocktails to arrive, only a couple of minutes before our food, which was ordered after cocktails. This isn’t a big deal, but we do like to enjoy our cocktail before the meal. I guess we should have waited until the drinks came before ordering. Our reservation was for the bar area, but we were seated in a back corner on the opposite side of the restaurant. They were very busy and had some large parties, so I am sure they had to do some rearranging, but there was no acknowledgement from the hostess that they would be seating us elsewhere. We actually would have been happy to just eat at the bar, but it looked completely full. We will continue to go back as we really enjoy Lucky 32, and I am happy for them that they seem to be doing a great business after all restaurants have endured the past couple of years. We will just get there earlier next time and hope for a seat at the bar.

   I have been a customer here for many years and last night was not indicative of my full dining experience there but nonetheless the quality of the food has been declining. I had the Jambalaya and it was atrocious. It was dry, the meats were tasteless and it felt thrown together. The appetizers were sub par, similar to what you would find at a Chilis. The service was excellent and the people were wonderful. Our waiter was prompt, attentive and professional. If it wasn’t for the food, I’d come back :)

Thank you, Lucky 32, for a great dining experience!

    Reservation was ready even we got there. Voodoo Bloody Mary over-priced @ $12; no celery or lime; old fashion glass - small serving for price, no substance to BM mix. Food was very good - Southern Delight very good good except eggs over cooked for soft-scrambled; Summertime Grilled Chicken Breast - excellent; Corn Bread great! Peanut Butter Pie huge - enough for two-three eaters. Service inattentive and unusually impersonal - must nut have been having a good day! Will go back!

    As usual,Lucky 32 had great food. We both loved our Mocktails - fun drink but with no alcohol. We went to brunch this time. I love how there are always dishes made with what is in season and that things like bacon are local. For example, I had ciabatta French Toast with delicious local in-season blackberries and peaches. Delicious!

    As usual, wonderful. We really like your collection of soups, for example. Last trip we had to try out the avocado soup the next day, it was so good. This time, the fruit and golden tomato soups were both really good. Gotta give those a go too, add them to the home recipe rotation for summer.

    Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen - CaryResponded 6 days agoElizabeth, Thank you for taking the time to detail your recent dining experience with us! Our current soup offerings are perfect for summer and best use seasonal ingredients like watermelon, peaches and golden tomatoes.

    We have often said we would try Lucky 32 but this is the first time we actually did. They did not disappoint. The staff is professional & friendly. Great southern style food in portions, if anything, were a bit large. We had both fish & shrimp entrees perfectly cooked, well seasoned with tasty sides. Overall super value.

    My family took me here for my birthday and one of the runners that brought out our appetizers was a little rude/short with us. The server was very sweet and have no complaints about her. The food was good however a few additional seasonings here and there would be my personal suggestion. Not that it wasn’t seasoned, it was just missing the specific taste, bite, or punch of certain ingredients but nothing I couldn’t have adjusted with the condiments on the table or those you can request.
