Food as always is excellent and the service was superb. The only downside is that the tables are so close together that the sound volume was very loud.

The food was really not that good. The bread was hard, the deviled eggs were very sweet, and the butternut squash soup lacked flavor and was very watered down. Our waiter, never got his name, was not very attentive. We had to find someone else to even get our bill.

Food was good. Only issue was my daughter ordered Mac and Cheese and they brought her sweet potatoes. It had to do with her devaiting from the prescribed menu. Food was good but I would recommend sticking with the menu. Overall was a good meal and experience. Food was very good

Booked a table, was offered a bar stool. Booked it for 5pm and watched others arrive after me and get seated before me. Used tissues on the floor. Wait staff unfriendly. I waited until after 5pm and still no table so I left and ate somewhere else. Definitely not as good as it used to be. Will not be recommending it nor will I be back.

We decided we didn’t want to cook or clean for Thanksgiving and found that Lucky 32 would be open on Thanksgiving day so we made reservations. We had never been before but now won’t hesitate to go back again. The service was excellent, the food was fantastic, and the adult drinks were delicious.

Decent food. Good portion. We loved the apple cake - delicious. The pimento cheese fritter appetizer and bacon meatloaf are both a bit too sweet to our taste. Overall good experience.

I recently visited Lucky 32, a restaurant that used to be a favorite of mine, but I was left disheartened by the experience. It seems that there has been a noticeable decline in the quality of food, which was quite unexpected and disappointing. One of the most regrettable changes was the removal of the pimento cheese appetizer, a dish we always looked forward to. Its replacement, a fritter dish, unfortunately, fell far short of expectations. The fritters were almost black, suggesting they were overcooked, and they carried an unpleasant taste of old oil. This detracted significantly from our dining experience. Even the accompanying Ghost pepper jelly, which I hoped would add a much-needed flavor boost, couldn't mask the bland and unpalatable taste of the fritters. This was a stark contrast to the usually delightful appetizers we had come to enjoy at Lucky 32. Furthermore, the jambalaya, which in the past was a perfectly flavored dish, was notably lackluster on this visit. It lacked the robust flavors and seasoning that once made it a standout item on the menu. (There was also once a cook who understood what extra spicy meant. I had to add my own sauce to make it extra spicy this time) I am hopeful that this experience was just a temporary lapse and not indicative of a permanent decline in quality. Lucky 32 has always been a restaurant we cherished for its excellent food and atmosphere. It would be a shame to see it lose the charm and quality that once made it great. I sincerely hope that Lucky 32 can bounce back and regain the culinary excellence it was known for.

This is an awesome restaurant that has to be on your list if you have never tried Lucky 32. Been going here for years and never had a bad meal. The only downside was the bartender needs to be happy and look like she enjoys her job. She might have had a bad night. Don’t let this stop you from going. In all of years of going here, never had a bad experience

Lucky 32 did not disappoint. Delicious bean cake and the best Salmon ever at a restaurant! Perfectly seasoned and cooked medium as requested. While we do miss the Voodoo Bread, the sliders were an excellent option. My only suggestion is to put more sauce on sliders or on the side.

Celebrated my daughter's birthday at Lucky 32 in Cary last evening and everything was perfect! The employees were all wonderful and gracious. The food was superb. The portions are huge! The restaurant itself could use a refresh as it is looking a little dated. Will come back again and again.

Good food, decent value, servers trying, but a tad disorganized. Make that seriously disorganized. Ambience — Loudness and being seated with a full view of the dish washing machine cut into the enjoyment.

Have eaten at Luckys many time but this was our first brunch here. Not a lot of breakfast choices. However everything was so delicious! My grits bowl with butternut squash and spinach had a perfect fried egg on top. Companions had the chicken and waffles, the ciabatta French toast, and a selection of side items. All were so good and perfectly prepared. Sausage has a bit of spice and had a nice flavor. Cornbread is moist and flavorful.
