Good options for vegetarians. All burgers on the menu can be switched to a blackbean or impossible patty. Reasonably priced (better than red robin $15 burgers). Cute little place to hang out on a weekday and our waitress was really nice. I would come back again

Working in the area provided me the opportunity to dine at Lucky's Last Chance. Parking can be a bit challenging but circle the block a few times and you'll get a spot. Lucky's offered a nice amount of outdoor seating if that's your preference. Inside Lucky's offered a large bar with seating on two sides, a couple of window seats, some high tops, and booth seats. The venue is pretty big. Lucky's also offered two clean restrooms. The vintage pieces throughout the bar were cool and I loved the 80's music they were playing. Okay let's get to it! I ordered the My Boy Bleu burger. Featuring fresh crumbled Bleu cheese, homemade onion strings, and locally grown farm fresh diced tomatoes. I went with the double patty option. This was the best burger I've had this year! The beef procured from Carl Venezia Meats was handled with care by the chef at Lucky's. The burger was juicy and delicious. The toasted and buttered bun from Liscio's Bakey perfect. The Bleu cheese complimented the beef nicely. My side of crinkle cut fries were nice and crispy, and they had just the right amount of salt. I can't wait to bring the missus down and try some more of the menu. Shoutout to Tom and Heather and the rest of the staff who were friendly and on their game.

Been meaning to try Lucky's for a minute, but somehow I always miss it when I'm back in Philly. Luckily, I was able to make a stop in this time and I'm glad i did. First off, the ambiance is pretty divey and it seems like a place that people in the neighborhood would frequent. Staff was super nice and friendly. As for the burger, it was for sure one of the best I've ever had. Cooked to perfection and the patties were juicy and flavorful. The Mac and cheese was the perfect compliment as well. This place is a must go since they have such great prices for top quality; wish I would've visited when I lived in Queens Village. Overall, lucky's is definitely a 5 star.

Took myself out to lunch after visiting a flea market, all that sorting works up an appetite. Good thing Lucky's always has you covered. I had the Garlic butter tots and cheesesteak hoagie burger of the month, ginger ale and cold brew on tap! Everything was delicious. I sat up in the front near the bar and service was on point. Im pretty sure there were old school cartoons on the tv and for a rainy Saturday afternoon that was awesome. Great vibes and ambiance as always. I'm a big fan of Lucky's since they always do you right by the burger options and the flavor combos. Definitely check them out!

Worth the lil detour off the highway while passing through Philly. Shotgun review: - Divey, friendly atmosphere - Famous, award-winning PB&J burger* - Funky specials & daily deals (wine Wednesday, etc) - Gluten free options** - A few surprise costs*** *Interesting! Better than I expected & I'm glad I tried it. I wouldn't order it again but it was worth it for the experience. **Gluten-free bun was stale & cold, though. ***Didn't realize fries weren't included with burgers until we got the check. Oops. Also coke from the gun was $3.50 here which seemed a lil criminal.

Lucky's has the best food. At my old place lucky's was two blocks away and I was spoiled with deliciousness. Whenever I visit philly now I make sure to stop by. I finally tried the black bean burger this last time and was very please you surprised ( trying to eat healthy in the new year but don't worry I still got tots because you have to!)

This is THE spot to get a good burger. I came here with my friends after running the Philadelphia half marathon and there is nothing else that could've brought me more satisfaction than Lucky's burger. I got the Pickle Monster and there was a generous amount of pickle slices- just the way I prefer my burgers. It also came with pickle potato chips in the burger, which was a fun addition and they added a nice crunch to every bite. I was afraid the buns here would be dry based off of photos I saw on Yelp prior to coming here, but the buns were soft and delicious! I would definitely come back to try their other burgers.

Great eats for late night. The wine was okay, especially for something on tap. They had a Thanksgiving sandwich special since Oct which sounded cool but macaroni was calling my name too much . Staff os friendly as this place is cool that it is open so late for food.! Better than Wawa but not quite 24-7. Works in this nice neighborhood . Bar joint is typical setting. Would I come back? Actually, yeah I would. Maybe I'd give that PB and J burger a chance that some people have been raving about. Would I be running for this place? Probably not, but that's okay. Having places like this to gorge on are super nice, but so are healthy alternatives as well.

Fresh off the train from NYC, this was my first meal in Philadelphia. Well my first meal was technically a ranch water and some Trader Joes peanut butter filled pretzel nuggets, but that's neither here nor there. After a 1,056 ft walk, we arrived at Lucky's Last Chance and were met with a 15 minute wait. First off, what a sick name. Lucky's Last Chance. I just wanna keep saying it. Rolls great off the tongue. About 8 min into our 15 min wait, 3 seats opened up at the bar so we just claimed them and sat there. Easy work. Lucky's Last Chance is the exact vibe that you would think when you hear the name. Divey interior with LOADS of character, people just happy to be here. I often times feel that these dive-like environments produce the happiest people. Note sure why, I will unpack that at a later date. Upon initial scan of the menu, the PB & Bacon burger caught my eye. Peanut butter on a burger? Wtf? I continued reading, and saw that it was the 3x Philadelphia Burger Brawl Winner. It's events like these that I am always skeptical for a few reasons: 1) What is Burger Brawl? Is this a legit competition? Idk. And they know I'm not going to take the time to look that up lol. 2) There were no years next to the 3x champion. What if it was 2009, 2010, 2011? What if they got CRACKED every year after. Idk. Amidst an internal war with myself on whether I should order this burger or not, I look up and to my right and see a GIGANTIC trophy that says "Burger Brawl People's Choice Award 2018." "Damn this must be legit then..." the hero said to himself. I asked the server what years they won Burger Bash, as I think this is a valid question if they have it on the menu. Without missing a beat he says "It should actually say 4x Champion we need to update this menu, we won in 2022 and they said we had to stop entering because we kept winning and they had us become a judge." LMAAAOOOOOOOO! Even if he was BSing me that came out of his mouth so quick I had to respect it. Needless to say, I ordered the PB & Bacon. Double patty because I am a BEAST. I'm going to do my best to articulate the experience of this burger, but my little pea brain is still processing it: This burger was the best experience that I never want to have again. Like rushing a fraternity or sorority. I had never thought about having peanut butter on a burger, let alone with bacon. Some bites were like wow this is actually amazing, why are we not funding this? Then other bites were like damn that was a lot of peanut butter, I need to wash this down with my Negroni. Overall, I admire this kind of innovation and risk taking. How could you not respect that? Leonardo Da Vinci and Steve Jobs are looking down on Lucky's Last Chance smiling at this level of creativity. I wouldn't trade this experience for anything, and am so happy I had it, but would not order it again. Fries were GAS too. IG @jnov_ Tiktok @jnov__

Well, well, well! I had a craving for a hotdog today. Not just a regular hotdog, but something I couldn't make at home. So, I did some research and found Lucky's Last Chance. I was concerned that the business might be closed bc of holiday. Therefore, I called to inquire about their hours. I was happy someone answered and told me the restaurant would be opened until 2 am. Yay!! I made my way over to the 2nd St location. There was a nice crowd inside, but not a soul outside. We decided to dine inside since it was a little too warm to be in the heat and we didn't want our waiter/waitress to run in and out just for us. We grabbed a small table in the back near the kitchen. We were greeted and ordered some beers on tap. Next up, food. I ordered the Norc Dog (chili, onions, brown mustard). The hubs ordered the Inferno burger (junior burger with jalapeño, pepper jack cheese, and spicy mayo). Additionally, we had the Main St fries (old bay cheese sauce). We enjoyed our craft beers while we waited for our food. Everything arrived at the same time. My dog was soo good. The chili had a nice heat and mustard mixed well with the chili too. The old bay cheese sauce was very tasty. There was the perfect amount of old bay mixed in the cheese. Neither overwhelmed the fries. My husband absolutely LOVED his burger. He said the jalapeños, cheese, and spicy mayo mixed perfectly together. He kept talking about how good the burger was. We were thoroughly surprised at our check since it was only $72 after our entrees and 6 beers. Thus, we left Lucky's even happier after enjoying our entire dining experience. Will we be back?? Absolutely!!!
