| - It has been a while since I last had brunch at Lucky's. I was in the mood for some pecan crusted bacon, so off we went for breakfast at Lucky's. Even though we came later in the day to avoid normal brunch traffic, the wait was going to be 45minutes for 2 people. Womp womp...but since it was sunny and fairly warm (for CLE fall time standards), we waited outside in the patio area. Even after 40 minutes or so, we didn't hear our name called, so we moved to the inside cramped seating area to wait. We decided to get some coffee from the front coffee bar, but that too was another 10minute wait. After I finally flagged over the barista, and got my order we were finally seated. We got the Shipwreck, Biscuits & gravy, and Pecan crusted bacon. The pecan bacon was oilier than I remembered so I could eat half a slice. The biscuits and gravy were good, but I wish the dish was warmer when it came out. Seems like it had been sitting in the kitchen for some time before the dish was served to us. The shipwreck was ok, but I think the both of us lost our appetites by the time we got our food since we waited so long for everything. With a small menu selection, and us selecting the more popular dishes...I wonder why they don't just make them ahead of time in anticipation for the next orders it? Anyway, we ate a bit slowly, since we were trying to have a conversation over the loud crowds around us. The servers would keep interrupting asking if we needed anything else aka- hurry up we have the next herd to have to feed. I found it quite annoying, and almost wanted to say "yes I do need something...for you to give us some time to eat in peace." After waiting so long, I think it's quite rude to then rush us to eat. To be honest I think we ate in less the time it took for us to finally get seated! Next time I may have to think twice about whether this place is worth it anymore...especially with other restaurants around also serving decent brunch specials. Sorry Lucky's, you need to pull yourself together.
