  1. But this isn't about the fun you'll have watching the different people coming in or walking down the street, nor is it about the yummy yum yum fried rice.

  1. It was a bad bad meal.
  2. The fries were crinkly fries that were less tasty than ones I buy from the frozen food section.
  3. place to get a good, simple, cheap, tasty burger.
  4. went to Lucky Burger today for the first time in over 20 years, and the burgers were as big and tasty as they were in my youth.
  5. They serve the food on a dirty red luby's style tray.
  6. They come with fresh cut vegetables, lettuce, pickles and tomatoes and you would swear that they actually just cooked your toasted bun.
  7. Lucky burger provides a good value in hamburgers and other grill burgers.
  8. bad burgers!

Dirty Feeling

by orangedsw at Citysearch

Hope you like old nasty grease. You have it here. They serve the food on a dirty red luby's style tray. The only protection is a thin piece of wax paper, that the grease eats through so fast that your food is now on the filthy tray. I got up and left without finishing. I'm OCD and could not handle this place.

  • Cons: Tiny inside, grease

Not even as good as Burger King

by txfoodie2009 at Citysearch

I tried this for the first time tonight because I was wanting a hamburger, and Lucky Burger delivers. I was extremely disappointed. The hamburger was a thin, fast-food like patty covered with melted artificial cheese. The fries were crinkly fries that were less tasty than ones I buy from the frozen food section. And the fried mushrooms (6 for the $2.69) were extremely breaded, also like what you get in the frozen food section of your grocery store. It was a bad bad meal. I will not re-visit Lucky Burger.

  • Pros: delivers
  • Cons: disgusting food; expensive for what you get

Good cheap eats

by JoDB at Citysearch

A place to get a good, simple, cheap, tasty burger. I'd reccomend to take it to go; ambience is not this place's strong points. Also, bring and use cash.

Great Burger!

by texmex1 at Citysearch

I went to Lucky Burger today for the first time in over 20 years, and the burgers were as big and tasty as they were in my youth...

I opted for the special (Double Cheeseburger , Fries, and a Drink) and it was one f the best burgers I have had in Houston!

The old Barrel building could do with a coat of paint, and the A/C could have been better, but the Burger was hands down worth the trip!

  • Pros: Big Burgers, Crispy Fries, Friendly Staff
  • Cons: None worth mentioning

Not Impressed

by mdsibley20 at Citysearch

I tried this place for lunch one day with some co-workers. I was not impressed. The double cheeseburger I order tasted like fish. The service was very slow. I will not visit again.
