Lucky’s Cafe is a retro diner with black and chrome décor on Oak Lawn Avenue that presents a famous weekend brunch of American comfort food. The spacious ‘50s-style restaurant serves a comprehensive menu of huge sandwiches, veggie tacos, and fresh salad as well as signature dishes of crispy and juicy chicken-fried steak and chicken-fried chicken and hot cornbread with sides of mashed potatoes and steamed vegetables smothered in rich cream gravy. For semi-healthier options, try the gluten-free blueberry pancakes with cinnamon brown sugar butter or the banana cognac pancakes topped with roasted cognac bananas and 100% pure organic maple syrup. Service is friendly and quick-thinking even on Sundays, when tables and booths are packed to the brim.
