| - Let me start by saying the Reuben is delicious. Even at $15, it's worth the price, and is worth a trip to Lucky's all by itself. There's no sandwich that compares in Cleveland, and it's worth 2-3 stars alone.
However, the rest of the Lucky's experience leaves a bit to be desired. The food is good. Well above-average, even. But to wait in a line for an hour, and pay the price point that Lucky commands... I'm over it. There are plenty of other places within walking distance for comparable (if not better) food, at a more competitive price range.
And worst of all, I've come to Lucky's a few times for my 2:00pm coffee, and I'm amazed by the short cuts they take with their coffee service. Ask for a latte, and you'll get a "shot" of espresso from a pre-made cup sitting on their coffee maker. When was it brewed? Who knows. The milk is steamed quickly, and poured, and the frothing mug is left on the counter (for the next person, perhaps?). I'd say its because they're too busy, but this is what to expect even when there's nobody in line to pay. This special drink will run you just shy of $4.
If this is standard practice for a place that's supposed to be as good as Lucky's, it makes me wonder what else they'll do to save time.
