    Very lively atmosphere (in a good way), great food and cocktails, very good service. Lucky is a great place to eat. My favorite was the fried green tomato starter. My wife has the New z York strip and it was perfect. We love Lucky.

    The food and drinks were excellent, service was exceptional, and atmosphere was great. Our waitress answered all of our questions, helped us choose our drinks and food, and provided excellent and attentive service. Highly recommend.

    Lucky is one of the best restaurants and bars in town and that is not debatable. The food is consistently great - as is the service and setting. Chris, our waiter, is the MAN. Needleless to say, I have been to Lucky many times and will be there plenty more! Also, check them out for happy hour as they also have the best fresh oysters in town!

    Lucky is always a stellar experience! The food is delicious, the cocktails are out of this world and the service is excellent. Bonus for using so many local farms for sourcing ingredients.

    We couldn’t have made a better choice for our weekend in Roanoke. From the drink menu to the food choices I felt like it was designed just for me. If you are in Roanoke this restaurant is a must. Cool location with a great staff. Thanks for taking good care of us.

    The #1 problem food lovers will encounter at Lucky is what NOT to order on the diverse, delicious menu. The smart play is to share a variety of dishes. We loved the tamarind-infused eggplant app, the insanely crispy fried chicken, the elegant trout and the spicy West African peanut stew. But there are are more treasures to explore than that, so don't stick to favorites. Also, the cheerful and efficient wait staff are happy to offer their personal recommendations. Both signature cocktails and standards like Old Fashioned's are perfectly executed. Lucky's take on a Vieux Carré has a delicate note of smoke on it and is powerful enough to tranquilize a water buffalo.
