Lucky' Burgers & Shakes. You hidden little gem, you. All tucked into a little strip mall. With a name like that, I just knew this place was gonna be legit and I was right.
I got the 1/2 lb. burger which is a double quarter pounder, not a 1/2 lb. single patty for those who want to know. All burgers come with your choice of sauces...the staples, mayo, mustard, BBQ, ketchup and they have some homemade sauces, thousand island or ranch. Love that the dressings are homemade. Standard comes with pickles, onion, lettuce, tomato. I got a 1/2 lb burger with homemade thousand island, and the standard toppings, no onion. I normally get onion, but didn't want onion breath today. Lol. I added bacon, green chiles, fries and a shake.
The Burger was awesome. The fries were awesome. The shake, awesome. So let's start with the burger. It's char broiled. I love char broiled burgers if they're done right. These had the perfect amount of char and smoky flavor. Reminds me of a burger my dad made on the old charcoal grill when I was a kid. The double patties aren't too thick or too thin. Just right. Juicy not dry. Perfect.
The bun, nice and toasted. The homemade thousand island, outstanding. The bacon. Real bacon here. Not that microwaved soggy crap. Nice meaty slices of bacon. The way it should be. 5 stars on the burger.
The fries. I like all types of fries if done right. These fries remind me of how my mom used to make them on the skillet. Take a real potato, cut that mofo up and throw it into hot oil. These are real homemade, fresh cut fries. Just the right amount of tenderness and crisp. Perfect balance. I love fries like this that taste like my mom used to make. 5 stars for the fries.
The shake. They have 15 flavors for the shake and they let you pick up to 2 flavors. Oh and you can get a shake or a malt. Hell yeah. I didn't notice the malt until after I ordered, or I would have done a malt instead. A ton of possibilities here. I went with an Oreo and peanut butter shake and it was fantastic. These shakes are thick and made from real ice cream. The way it should be. Not some crappy fast food shake dispenser. This is the real deal. 5 stars for the shake.
The service - what can I say. The girl at the front was friendly, burger was served up fresh and pretty quick. Awesome experience.
The have dogs, gyros, chili cheese fries. I will be coming back to try the other things on the menu.
The price. It's pretty reasonable if you stick with the basic combo of burger fries and a drink. It's definitely worth the price.
Lucky Burgers and Shakes does it right. Burger fans, if you haven't tried it, you must put this on your list. I will be back.
