This was our first dine in post COVID- it was so great to be back. Everything was well spread out and sanitized, new menu items were outstanding!
Fantastic cocktails, meal, service, and music!
My husband and I ate dinner at Lucky on Saturday night on recent overnight stop in Roanoke. Everything was great! The cocktails were really good - especially the off-menu bourbon drink with the spiced ice cube! The food was delicious, especially the ribeye. The service was super-friendly, knowledgeable and attentive. The restaurant's Covid procedures were thoughtful, well-executed and made us feel safe. Next time we are in town, we will be back!
Cocktails were awesome. The scallops were to die for. Service was second to none. Let’s just say, the best restaurant in town.
Some of the best mixed drinks I have ever had. I will only order a Tom Collins from establishments such as Lucky, and they nailed the drink perfectly.
Lucky is by far the best restaurant in Roanoke. Food is great, cocktails creative and delicious and ambiance fabulous!

Lucky never disappoints! The food (new menu) was phenomenal! The new drinks were unique and delicious! We love the staff at Lucky and are always given the very best service!
Food, wine, and service were all incredible. Smart Covid protocols that prioritize safety without sacrificing ambience and quality.
Always fantastic consistent food and wonderful service. Constant innovation in the bar and menu choices.
Wow! First date out since Covid. Excellent way to get back in the groove. Exceptional cleaning between patrons. Delicious food. Overall superb dining
So glad Lucky is back open for dining. The food is always interesting and delicious, but the cocktails are a big step above what you'll find anywhere else. There's something for every taste! It's not a super fancy place, but the bar has old classic appeal and it's fun to watch the cocktail creating action. The seating was well distanced and staff always so pleasant. We sampled the meat and cheese board to start and then we had the pork chop and striped bass, my favorite was the pork chop, tender and juicy. Took home a blood orange panda cotta dessert that was fresh and zingy tasting. Thanks for a lovely dinner Lucky!
Lucky never ceases to amaze. Food, cocktails, service are all second to none. It is hard to say what is the best as everything they do is excellent.
Everything was amazing from the time we got there until we left - food, cocktails, service, and ambiance were all amazing. Can't wait to get back!!!
Their self professed first night back after the dark days of COVID. They knocked it out of the park! The food was fantastic and the drinks were in the spirit of their name...Lucky! We felt lucky to have found our way in!
Amazing food, exceptional customer service, and incredible people!
Love this place! The entire staff is great, and Hunter & the other bartenders makes some kick-a$$ drinks! :-)
JP & Hunter have done a terrific job with this place, and I highly recommend it!
Always the best craft cocktails, delicious food, warm atmosphere and terrific staff. Felt very safe with all of their COVID precautions/protocols.
We love Lucky. The food is always excellent. Servers are pleasant and knowledgeable. Great cocktails. Our favorite place to go.
Fabulous service as always . They made accommodations for a birthday celebration and Carrie went above and beyond to meet our needs. The food was sublime even with a few picky eaters. All in all a wonderful evening.
Wonderful dinner!
We always enjoy Lucky’s! Never been disappointed!
We went to Lucky to celebrate our anniversary and thoroughly enjoyed it. Food and service were excellent. We will definitely be back.
Rushed service and over priced for the portion size. Quality food but, not worth the wait and poor value for what you pay.
Delicious food and best cocktails around! We will be coming back and have already recommended to all our friends!
I've eaten at Lucky many times and food is almost top-notch but tonight it was fantastic, one of the best meals I've ever had.
Loved it! Was an absolutely fantastic time. We ordered a la carte and it was divine.
Another fantastic dinner! Thank you folks.
The food was excellent using fresh ingredients. The selection was limited but each item we chose was expertly prepared.
We were “Lucky” to be able to finally enjoy our favorite restaurant in Roanoke again! NC Blue Crab Cakes and Scallops should not be missed if you love seafood! Ice Cream sampler flavors delicious as well. Lucky’s chef is creative and original....makes dining an experience.
My husband and I tried Lucky for my 30th birthday this week and it was delicious! We did the prix fixe menu and we both selected different items and were able to share many of the menu items. Each one was great! Would highly recommend this restaurant!
Another wonderful dinner! I just love this place.
Always a delicious meal at Lucky. Best craft cocktails EVER. Very attentive and friendly staff...I never turn down an opportunity to go to Lucky. Felt very safe eating there with the attention to detail with COVID-19 precautions.
They cancelled my reservations so since I had to scramble for another place last minute I gave Luckys “1”s. Sorry to do that and I know they’re probably having issues, but their competitors picked up the business,
Due to the ongoing pandemic, I had to make the difficult decision to transition to a Monday-Friday schedule. I believe it is going to give us the best chance to survive and come out on the other side of these extremely difficult times. We went from a staff of 20 to a staff of 7. I am extremely sorry that your reservation was cancelled. We attempted to contact everyone starting 3 weeks ago. I apologize that we were not able to get that message to you sooner. I am very sorry.
