Lucky’s Kitchen and Cocktails

Have been there twice in the last 2 months. Our regular place near North Park is closed on Tuesdays. Bartender was buried in her phone and I had to continually ask for service. They she acted like she was doing me a big favor, then back to her phone. Local draft beer is outrageously overpriced at $ 6.50 a glass. News flash, Canyon Lake is not a resort town, no need to charge resort prices for a local draft beer. This last time my wife got a salad, I got a burger, and we each had 2 drinks. Bill was over $ 60. Won’t be back again.

Margs were great! CAN YOU SAY TASTY!
Dissatisfied with the lack of schnitzel. If there are three things I learned it’s schnitzel, schnitzel, schnitzel!

Great lunch stop! We ordered the Fish n Chips, a bowl of the gumbo, and the Mexicali. The food was tasty and the fries were excellent with the Parmesan and malt vinegar/​mayo/​or ketchup. The service was very on top of things and friendly.

My boyfriend and I went for corned beef and cabbage St. Paddy’s Day special. Corned beef was dry and tough (had to ask for mustard and it was the plain yellow), cabbage was okay, and breach on the plate became soggy. My mom makes this much better.

We were on vacation in the area and decided to try this place. Wish we could have but when walked in the door it took 10 minutes for someone to acknowledge us and when they did we were told it would be a 25 – 30 min wait on food. There may have been 20 customers in the entire place. We decided that would be fine to then be told it would be 25 – 30 minute wait to be seated. I could see at least 15 open tables. So we walked out. Looks like we were the LUCKY ones.

This place is fantastic. Great flavor and friendly service. Will definitely come back.

Oh, Lucky’s…I want to love you, sing your praises, and give you 5 stars. Alas, It’s not meant to be. You seduce me and then break my heart. We’ve been coming here for about two years now, every time we come to Canyon Lake.
The chicken fried ribeye is to die for, with mashed potatoes and seasoned veggies. But last time I ordered Dade’s Diablos, which are supposed to be chicken and cream cheese and jalapenos wrapped in bacon and deep fried. Sounds delicious, but what I got was disappointing. There was no cream cheese, which made them drier than the desert. You could see the jalapeño, but there was no flavor. I asked if they could remake them and add the cream cheese, and they cheerfully agreed to do so; when I got the new order, it was the same situation, no cream cheese and no spice and dry, dry, dry. They offered to make them again, but I declined… who knows what the cook would have done to them having had to make a third order, and if they’re going to end up being the same as the first two orders, why waste that much food? They could have offered to take them off the check, but they didn’t…boo!!!
Kyle, the bartender, was super nice and very attentive, props for that. The servers, however, stood around and did nothing that I could observe as service. It’s mostly locals this time of year, so maybe that had something to do with it?
In conclusion, I like going here, but you really have to watch what you order, and if you want good service, sit at the bar.

Love it! Great place to bring friends on the lake if you are up late it’s a great option. Try the fried pickles they are awesome. Very good quality food even the fries are tasty!

The food was good but the service could use some work. only one waitress was working on a ton of tables at once. Poor thing, took awhile to take our order and then it was 25 minutes before we got our food and that was because we asked if when it was coming out because we had an appointment to be at. She wasn’t rude but was defensive about the length of time that the food came out. No need to be defensive. I may or may not come back to this place.

I ate here four separate times over the course of two months before submitting this review.
The place has a nice outdoor patio with a view of the lake from upstairs. The atmosphere is fairly plain and run of the mill. Nothing that really sets it apart from the other places in the area.
The food is pretty good. They have several types of street tacos that are very good. They have a Texas Philly that’s very good as well.
The downside on each visit has been the service. Simply put, it’s terrible. On two of the visits I had the same server and she’s just glacially slow. Once I ate at the bar where the service was decent.
Overall the food is surprisingly good, the management just needs to replace or retrain some of the staff.

They have breakfast on the weekends and it’s fabulous! With a group of 6 and we tried everything from the Super Taco, Huevos Rancheros and Banana Pancakes! Definitely recommend!!!

Really sucked !! Order some food Togo took them an hour to cook some burgers and fries. Really rude manager lady! After asking about our food couple of times, only thing she said was well u know we have a 20 top ‘and it takes a while. Really I spent almost a 100 bucks for some burned burgers. I could have burnt them my self and wouldn’t have costed me nearly that much. Show some pride in ur quality of food and customer service. Go have some drinks at the bar. But if u get hungry go to the gas station and get some thing from there to eat. The food is horrible.

Food is good SOMETIMES. Just went there Saturday and onion rings and fries were less than GOOD…
Need to beef up the food and get away from the BAR THINKING to keep locals…

Delicious! The wings are very good and so is the cob salad with the homemade salad dressing. The restaurant is very clean and the drinks are good too happy hour 2 – 6 have a bubbles shot!

I was cautious about eating anywhere in Canyon Lake but my husband Hunter and I had some business in the area and he asked me to Unilocal somewhere to eat lunch. Lucky’s was nearby and had several decent reviews. The place is neat and clean inside and also offers outside seating. We opted for air conditioning. Lucky’s had probably twenty draft beers and ten bottled beers to choose from, so I knew I had chosen the right place for my husband.
Hunter chose a green chile cheeseburger with sweet potato fries, along with a draft Ziegenboch. He said that although the chiles were too mild, the burger and fries were very good. I chose the black bean and cheese nachos with sides of pico de gallo, guacamole and sour cream. When the waitress brought my order I was a little disappointed that there was not more food on my plate. (My stomach lies to me a lot!) Well, I ate every last bite and should have left a couple of them on the plate so that I wouldn’t feel as stuffed as I did. Needless to say, the nachos were very, very good.
I was very satisfied with the food and the service at this establishment and will definitely recommend Lucky’s.

Wow! I can’t believe I have not eaten here before., the food is outstanding!!! And the service is stellar. Andrew was our waiter and he was great. I highly recommend this place to any one staying in canyon lake!!!

Don’t get the fried zucchini, the queso is the
. The fish is super flakey in the fish and chips & the chicken fried ribeye is a little greasy but still very good. The Maui slaw though has to be some of the best slaw I’ve had, it has pieces of fried noodles, it’s definitely memorable. Best place in Canyon Lake in my opinion.

We stopped by Lucky’s for a bite to eat and some drinks after arriving at Canyon Lake. There were only a few people at the restaurant so I had expected pretty fast service. All food and drink service was pretty slow. The food was average and the fried appetizers we got were somewhat warm. Big label beer outnumbered the craft beer selection, but there enough craft beers to keep me satisfied with a couple local selections. The bar tender was fun and entertaining.
Overall my experience was pretty average

Very fast service. Ordered French dip and fries. Others ordered fish and chips. Generous portions and very tasty. Definitely will be back when staying in the Canyon lake area.

Food is good but small portions.
Charge for EVERYTHING (extra dressing or sauces etc)
