   The service was decent. The food was horrible. The brisket fries were literally fries soaked in brisket grease. The actual brisket was like eating jerky absolutely gross and for some reason the bark had a huge layer of salt. The burnt pork belly ends were not edible. They were extremely hard, no flavor, and had to have been days old. The burger was a frozen patty not even heated well. The sides were ok but for the price outrageous. I would definitely not recommend this place to anyone.

    we sat close to your service window and I couldn't help but notice that the woman who was running the food window for the runners was either biting her nails or licking her fingers on occasion while handling plates for customers. I would advise that this person either wear gloves or NOT have her fingers in her mouth while handling food for customers.

    Was told that there was an excellent selection of draft beers. Unfortunately the night we were there the taps were non functional and had to try a can of beer, no glass. Food was great. Service felt a bit rushed. Ordered some for to go so that table could be cleared.Would like to try again when we could spend more time and try more of menu.

    We did a little research on their website and it sound like a fantastic. Barbecue place. Arriving there, the ambiance and everything about this place looked like a cool hipster barbecue place with a great ambiance and service was outstanding. The big deal for us was that the website touted American barbecue - smoked - it sounded wonderful but what we got was a fusion barbecue. It had Japanese fusion which was NOT expected and not really welcomed when one looked forward to an western/American barbecue. They infused some of these spices with no mention of them in their menu. For example, if you order the stater queso dip with smoked brisket (sounds amazing right?). Should have been delicious but while eating it you are tasting something that isn’t quite right. They added tahini to it. It doesn’t state it anywhere and you can definitely taste it. Our server, who was just lovely and helpful, told us what it contained after we asked her about it. If you order the burger with Mayo, it is Kewpie Mayo which is a Japanese Mayo. I happened to enjoy the fusion flavors but others in my party did not when they were expecting American smoked barbecue so it doesn’t make for a nice dinner experience.

    We love this restaurant but hadn't been back for a bit. We started with the deviled eggs and brussel sprouts, both were delicious! We got four different meals and each of us loved our choices. The service was solid, only complaint would be that it was loud to begin with but the music was playing even louder! We will definitely be back. Highly recommend.

    Lucky well was a pleasant surprise I don’t live in the area but I rent a garage for my business near by and decided to try the restaurants in the area. I picked the lucky well because I am a BBQ lover . The service was awesome I mean fast and they are on top of things . I ordered brisket , ribs , fries , corn bread and collard greens and a flight of burbon whiskey. I always expect the brisket to be dry , NOT here it was very moist and the ribs were cooked to perfection with a dry rub the bourbon flight was the best $20.00 I spent in 3 years and the combo was perfect . I cook bbq so it was nice to get something this good that I didn’t have to cook . Top Notch !!!

    Great drink and beer selection. Delicious food-and terrific service. We went on a Saturday when there was a band, so it was a little loud but in a way that is to be expected if there is live music

    The BBQ Bowl with Mac and Cheese was cold and it did not have much flavor. The best item was the Quesadillos. They ran out of the shrimp appetizers which I looked forward to and it was on Friday evening. Jambalaya is advertised on the website menu. However, it was not included on the Friday night menu of Nov. 4, 2022. The wings good. For my first visit, I was not satisfied.

    My wife and I were looking for a new restaurant to try for our anniversary dinner. We decided to try The Lucky Well. We were impressed with the layout and cleanliness of the Lucky Well. Staff was friendly. I ordered the St. Louis Ribs with a side of BBQ Beans and enjoyed both. My wife ordered the brisket with a side of mac and cheese. She did not enjoy the brisket because there was a lot of fat. I would say she was able to eat only about half of the three pieces of brisket she received. We were both disappointed with that.

    It was our first time there and everything we tried was delicious. Brisket queso, chimichurri shrimp and house wings. We ended up eating at the bar in place of our original reservation so our bartender, Don, gave us great suggestions on food and drinks. We can't wait to go back!
