Lucky's Cafe

I absolutely love Lucky's cafe for breakfast. Located in the heart of Tremont this quaint restaurant is a true gem. My friends and I went for a girls brunch on an early Sunday morning. We arrived within 5 minutes of them opening and we were able to walk right in and be seated immediately. Parking was available on the street but the spots get taken fast so prepare to walk if you have to. All the staff were so welcoming and attentive. Our waitress was so sweet and took great care of us. The food is so fresh and delicately crafted. I ordered the smothered cheddar biscuits from tv lol they were truly a star of the menu to me! A must try for sure. I also had a fresh cinnamon roll and that was tasty too. I will be back more often to try more menu items in the future. I rate this place a 9.5/10!

Go early to grab a spot! Or if not, you'll have to wait around an hour for a table.During my latest experience, I learned that parties of 6+ will require an additional gratuity and only one check to be brought out.

The BEST breakfast I've had in Cleveland! The biscuits and gravy will bring a tear to your eye they're so good! The canoe wreck was equally as impressive! The pastries we ordered to go were delicious and the latte will ruin you for all other lattes!The service was a bit slow but it was a very busy morning so it was understandable. My only complaint was that a table of regulars seated after us had their order taken immediately while our table and the seated before us had to wait almost 10 minutes to order.

Lucky's Cafe was a great experience. The environment was warm and welcoming and the food was made with love. I had the Omlet that included veggies and potatoes.

The food was delicious -- I forgot the name of my meal, but I remember it being a dual entree with a spinach egg bake and creme brulee oatmeal. The wait staff was courteous and knowledgable of the story behind the cafe, the mural on the side of its exterior and other fun facts about the space & community. I also love the charm of the restaurant formally being a house within the community, and the outside patio with a fireplace.

Lucky's is one of my go-to brunch spots. This time, I had the shrimp and grits, while my friend ordered the Shipwreck. Both dishes were delicious, and our server was warm and attentive. I also tried the cinnamon roll, and it was easily one of the best I've ever had. Lucky's has a casual vibe, perfect for pairs or small groups, but I wouldn't recommend it for groups larger than four. Be prepared for a wait--arriving right when they open is a smart move!

I was impressed with this place! The biscuits entree was amazing: there was a great texture contrast between the crunchy cheddar biscuits and the smooth and rich sausage gravy. The potatoes were not hash browns as advertised (they were diced potatoes), but at least they were crunchy! I tried my brother's eggs en croute (eggs baked in cream, spinach, and Parmesan) which was so rich and delicious - but it was a misnomer. En croute means it's wrapped in dough and baked. I think they possibly meant eggs en cocette (baked eggs in pots). This comes alongside the brûléed oatmeal, which was fancy and also delicious!I also tried some of the toast with blueberry jam. It had a great crunch and texture, and the blueberry jam was just the right amount of sweetness.Food was slow to come out (45+ min) and there was not a ton of seating room inside, but worth the wait. Not a huge menu to choose from, but I'd eat those biscuits again in a heartbeat!

What a great breakfast spot!This spot definitely deserves it's flowers and it's hype.My buddy and I were visiting in Cleveland and was recommended this breakfast spot. It's famous for being featured on the food network on several different shows so we were excited to try it. There was a little bit of a wait (15 minutes) to be seated, but that's to be expected at a good eatery. Our waiter was awesome. He really sold us all the food we got. Most of his recommendations were spot on. We started with the cinnamon rolls. That was my least favorite food item. It was just "ok". The icing was sparse and dry. But the roll was yummy. The candied bacon was also highly recommended. That was also just "ok". I felt there was almost too much brown sugar topping. Probably wouldn't order it again.For breakfast, I ordered the BISCUITS, which was the breakfast item featured on all the Food Channel's shows. It was really delicious, best thing I ate in Cleveland. I am a huge biscuits and gravy fan, but this was a great version of it.My buddy ordered the WAFFLES. Those were amazing too. Strawberry rhubarb with caramel drizzle over whipped cream was a great combo... highly recommend!Other than the cinnamon roll and candied bacon, the rest of our meal was phenomenal. The ambiance was nice and the staff was helpful.Have to give this a 5 Star review. One of the best breakfast spots I have been to.

Cute restaurant! A nice spot in Tremont for breakfast. Check the hours, they are not open for early breakfast or on Tuesdays. I went with my mom and we had a great time. The menu options for breakfast was a little limited, but we did enjoy getting a breakfast item and a Reuben before 10 AM to make it a fun brunch. I would like to give this a five but I'm giving it a four because of the limited breakfast options and I like to eat breakfast early and the restaurant only opens at 9 AM.

I was super excited to try this restaurant because of the many years worth of good reviews but I'm never going back sad to say. The experience was disappointing. They served me undercooked bacon, refused to take it back and cook it properly and, instead, placed it in a to-go box and charged me for it.I am giving two stars purely based on the biscuits and gravy which were delicious. However, the situation devolved quickly from there. The service was friendly at first, but slow because it was very busy. I went by myself first thing in the morning on a Sunday. There was a mix of people there, some of whom came based on the word of mouth and some of whom were regulars. The ambience was boisterous inside but reasonable conversational level, not sure how it was outside. I ordered the vegan soup, the famous pecan bacon, their biscuits and gravy that were featured on The Best Thing I Ever Ate, and a Reuben featured on Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives. The vegan soup never came, and when I asked to have it removed from my bill, I was shot an evil look, no apology. I took one bite of the bacon and, as you can see in the picture, it was flabby, chewy and undercooked. I spit it out in my napkin. When I asked to send it back, they said, "Well, since you already bit into it we can't take it back." Huh? They not only didn't apologize, they refused to take it back and cook it properly. The woman then said it's cooked in an oven and if I wanted it crispy, I have to tell them I want crispy bacon in advance. Could the server have shared that with me when I was ordering? I said OK, just take it off my check then. She goes, "The manager will not let you return it."Instead of cooking it correctly, the woman actually took the bacon, put it in a to-go box and brought me the check. It was as if they were saying, "Hey, you're not the first person who has complained we undercook the bacon and we have a plan in place for people like you."I've been dining and working in restaurants, all my life, and I've never, ever been told that someone wouldn't refire an order that was undercooked. When I got home, I tried the Reuben and potato salad. The bread was crispy, the corned beef sliced thick and meaty but there were only two slices of corned beef on the sandwich. Clearly, it's not the sandwich Guy recommended.My advice to people ordering (which I will follow from now on): always ask for well done or crispy bacon. Consuming undercooked bacon can be dangerous and it can cause problems like salmonella or tapeworms. Google "Florida bacon tapeworms" for a recent example if you're curious. I'm sure the bacon they serve is high-quality but when I ask for bacon, I personally want it to be cooked through and not flabby.From a place that has so much popularity and so many people waiting, why is this the experience that they would want any customer to have and be vehemently unapologetic about? I don't like posting a negative review, but you earned it.If you like slightly undercooked bacon and service that says "the customer is always wrong", Lucky's is your spot and you should enjoy it. Bon appétit.
