    Love Lucky 32, the food is always great! I didn’t see grit cakes on the new fall menu, so I’m a bit sad about that; however the creamy grits are super yummy as well!

    Food was excellent like always but this time they changed the menu and a few of our favorite items were not on the menu anymore,. The kitchen staff worked with us so we were left very satisfied but missing the short rib bread , chicken salad and the grilled chicken bun with bacon.

    A bit aggravated eating here this time. I've been here a hundred times over the past 20 years; back in the day, the food/service was never a disappointment. However, the food for me was chicken that was very overcooked. Because another counselor and myself we trying to make a positive impact on a very young client, I chose not to return the chicken. The other two meals served were good; at least, that's what they both told me. Once my drink was low, it was only refilled once, and we were there awhile. I handed the waitstaff my $10 coupon when it was time to pay; it was not honored. I was surprised, simply because I've been told these had no expiration date, even though one is posted on the bottom. It was returned to me, and I was told "it was past the expiration date." Geez. No wonder they are now only open for dinner. If Mr. Quaid was there this would not have happened.

    Had a very nice Sunday Brunch. The Fried green tomato Benedict is really good. I am glad I read a review that suggested making a reservation because they were pretty full but had our table ready when we arrived. We will come again the next time we are in the area!! Good service, great food and atmosphere at a very affordable price!

    Lucky 32 never disappoints. Their regular menu offerings are amazing, and the seasonal specials are very "special." Recommend the bacon-wrapped meatloaf, shrimp and grits, skillet fried chicken, and fried green tomatoes. We also had the seasonal peach shortcake, which was enough for 3 people and outstanding.

    Food and service both good. Occasion was marred by our party of 4 having to sit at table thar should only hold 2. We had appetizers, drinks, bread basket, bread plates and menus all on this small table, very uncomfortable. Even during the main course we were cramped. Nonetheless we had a nice evening.

    I normally don't do reviews but lucky 32 was an excellent restaurant that deserves recognition for the outstanding food and service. I sat at the bar and waited for my guest to show up and was very impressed by the customer service the bartender provided wish I could remember her name. Highly recommend lucky 32 for those that would like to go out for an Excellent meal that's reasonably priced

    My server took good care of me - professional & personable. Food was good, but the sweetness of the gravy on the meatloaf, Described on the menu as savory, wasn’t my favorite. The Texas Pete fried onions should have been warmed, like the food. The pan roasted grilled summer vegetables with salmon was delicious and well presented! Service was just right, not obtrusive, but present.

    Went to brunch here - food was fine and ambiance always great - however did not feel service was great - waitress seemed bothered when we asked for items. She may have just been overwhelmed with tables but she didn’t have the best disposition. Didn’t smile or engage much either. Overall, I’d come back for another try but disappointed with service. Good food and that’s normally consistent.

    The food was good but our server was extremely rude and unfriendly. Took forever to get our drinks then some had to be sent back. One person in our party never even got her second drink. We’ve eaten here before and it’s not usually like this so we were disappointed.

    The food was seasonal and delicious. The heirloom tomatoes for an appetizer were juicy and favorable. The bread crisp and fresh, the server knowledgeable about the food and wine list. The watermelon chow chow had a little spice. My husbands fried catfish was crispy and juicy. All in all quite a find. We are just passing through Cary and sometimes hard to find a nice meal. This exceeded our expectations.
