| - Go get Lucky's. Hangover or not, this place will heal you.
One thing that I've noticed (and have grown to love) about Lucky's is how consistently great the experience is. The food is prepared with the same degree of care every time. The wait staff is polite, knowledgeable, and will always ask if you've been to Lucky's before so they can make sure you order what you want and have the best experience possible.
The floor plan is small (but they'll open up outdoor tables when the weather is conducive). I want to count the wait against them, but I can't. I mean, it should say something that everyone and their mother comes to get Lucky's brunch on the weekends. Lucky's does everything they can to get you seated in a timely manner (without trying to rush other patrons). And when they tell you how long the wait is, that's usually pretty much exactly how long it's been. If they tell you it's an hour, believe them - set your watch, go for a walk, make a few calls, get a cup of coffee and come back.
Their coffee is some of the best I've ever had. Dunno why... it just is.
My favorite thing on the menu is the burritos. It took me about 10 trips to figure it out, but they are awesome. Their hash browns are substantial and don't appear to be deep fried. Their multigrain toast runs a bit extra, but I like to get it to slop up some of that sauce the burritos are swimming in. Their house-made hot sauce is more flavorful than it is hot. Other tasty options are the Waffles, The Omlette, Also, the shipwreck is their signature mound-o-goodness. Price is consistely $12 or so for a brunch, but it's worth it.
Lucky's opens at 9. The wait for a table begins at 9:30. If you get there after 10, you could be looking at an hour or more. And they don't have much waiting room, so you might be tempted to leave or go outside. But know this - there is no substitute for it, and it IS worth the wait.
