| - Love it, but wish they were gluten-free (the only reason I'm holding back a star). I've been a Clevelander since 2007, and was diagnosed with Celiac Disease in 2012; that leaves 5 lovely years as a frequent patron of Lucky's, home of the most delicious macaroni and cheese I've ever tasted / devoured / bemoaned as both too much and not enough for hours later.
No, they don't serve standard diner food; nor is the fare anything you'd describe as greasy-spoon. That caveat notwithstanding, Lucky's manages to make organic, locally-sourced and downright healthy Lunch/Brunch fare accessible in the extreme. Their Sunshine 'Cocktail' (Pellegrino Aranciata mixed with OJ and ice) is a delightful non-alcoholic mimosa, and the Shipwreck breakfast, though not my favorite, was a repeat performance.
These guys are masters of their crafts, do quick and handy work, and while I don't expect them to mess with the formula or go to the time and expense of conversion, dear lord if they ever decide to add a gluten-free menu, or send me the recipe for the sauce that makes their mac-and-cheese, I will die a happy, if morbidly obese, woman.
