Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen

A delicious brunch spot! While it's not the largest brunch menu, what they do have is quite good. The heirloom tomato breakfast sandwich was a personal favorite providing a hefty amount of egg paired with a decent serving of arugula and tomato, this sandwich is a great pairings of fresh flavors that leaves you satisfied. If brunch isn't what you're going for the burger gets the job done as well! Other great standout items are the fried okra and pimento cheese

Had a lovely meal at Lucky 32, happy to visit this location in Raleigh after missing the one that closed in Winston-Salem years ago.Had two delicious drinks, the Lavender Smash and Black and Blue Mule. Bread service was a hearty brown bread. Chose the salmon with heirloom tomatoes for my entree and it was perfectly cooked. Wish I'd had time and room for dessert but noted Affogato was an option on the dessert menu.Pleasant, upscale atmosphere and attentive service.

I ordered several things online this afternoon and picked it all up in the curbside area. I've had good experiences with this restaurant mostly in the past, but not today!! The corn and potato soup didn't taste fresh like I thought it would be from a restaurant that's supposedly using all fresh ingredients, and so the soup was just subpar, The "grilled summer vegetables" entree was a disaster!! It was supposed to come with basil pesto, and roasted tomato relish, but did not come with either of the two.....and on top of that the vegetables were literally hard as a rock, with only one having slight grill marks! To say the least I was extremely let down, surprised and very disappointed, especially considering that I paid $21 for this practically raw entree that was 100% unpalatable!!The fried popcorn okra was good with no problems there, as fried foods are hard to mess up. Lastly the garden salad was good also, very fresh!. Unfortunately all in all the order was a fail, because the main entrée part of the meal was horrible!The service I received at the pick up area was excellent though, so that was nice and I tipped her very generously. The service part of this review however will consequently be responsible for the increase of the overall rating.I do sincerely hope that I'll be hearing from someone who's wise enough to make an effort to correct this huge blunder, making it worth my while to come back. Otherwise I don't think I have any reason to go back. Thank you, Tamara Kiernan919-801-3127

Pre-concert dinner at Lucky 32. We were seated very quickly and our waiter was attentive. I had the Jambalaya, which was very tasty. The waiter recommended getting it spicy versus mild, and that recommendation was spot on!

Lucky 32 was so busy and our server was not as tentative as I would have liked but she was taking care of many tables. The lunch menu has many tasty and appealing items. I ordered a house salad with grilled chicken. This was okay but I wish they would have had a few other salad items to choose from. Others enjoyed their lunch.

Our first brunch spot fell through (doors locked), and we were disappointed to say the least. Upon some deliberation, we decided on Lucky 32. I'd like to think of Lucky 32, as southern charm meets upscale casual. Upon entering, you are greeted with a warmly lit restaurant - hostess service to your right. Music was comfortably playing as a backdrop and we were immediately seated. I've eaten here several times, but not recently. I believe the menu is seasonal. We ordered the southern delight, and broiled salmon. We substituted the grits for mashed potatoes in each instance and I regret it. I've tried their shrimp and grits before and thought they were good. The salmon came with a beet relish. I thought it would be served on the side, and was concerned I would not enjoy it. The relish is actually served on top of the salmon, but fortunately I did enjoyed the beets. The beets appeared to have been lightly pickled (not horrible supermarket beets pickled), but enough where it retained it's sweetness and accompanied the salmon well. I thought the eggs were great! Large fluffy curds that were not overcooked. The sausage also was a standout for me. The sausage come in a patty form and could possibly be made in- house. The sausage has a sweet finish and included maybe sage or thyme? So good! The mashed potatoes were also very good!Final thoughts - Lucky 32 has maintained a competitive price point in a full service / fast casual market. Service was professional, knowledgeable, and courteous. Food quality was good. Would recommend, and look forward to future visits. Americana Full Service- 4.4

Four of us came here for lunch after church on Sunday. There was a wait of about 15-20 minutes. The decor is nice with low lighting and comfortable seating, both tables and booths. Soon after we were seated a young waitress came and took our drink orders. She was very kind in answering several questions and returned with our drinks quickly. Three of us ordered the lunch salmon with pesto. You can get it with hot sauce too. One got the avocado toast with fruit. We also got an appetizer platter with pickles, pimento cheese, trout spread, strawberries, almonds and a spicy cracker. We asked for some bread instead of the spicy crackers and she brought it with some butter. Our lunches came out in a reasonable amount of time and were all as ordered. The salmon came with green beans that were very good. One of us got cheese grits that were very nice and I got the whipped sweet potatoes. They were just ok, would not get that side again. It was a comfortable place to have a good meal and good conversation without having to yell at eat other. Our server filled our drinks without being asked. She was great, but didn't give us her name.We will probably return.

We came here after the fair to grab a coffee and a treat and sat at the bar because we didn't have a reservation. The place was really nice and the service was great and oh my the desert was off the chart.I got the Cheesecake that was rich and decadent and shared with the group. I would definitely come back here for dinner and the server told us there is a location closer to us so we might venture over there.

We were exhausted from the fair and wanted to sit down to snack and talk to our good friends. This place was classy and had a great menu. It has one of the best truffle fries I've had in a while with side sauce and minced garlic wonderfulness. We got a few desserts as well. My favorite was the peanut butter pie. It was surprisingly light with a great sweet balance. I would come back for this pie.

Went here with my husband. Ambiance good. Service very good. For appetizers we ordered fried okra ( yummy) Fried green tomatoes ( husband liked I thought too sweet)Husband ordered shrimp and Grits. He loved it. Ordered side of collards and sweet potato mash. Collards were some of the best!I ordered the corn meal crusted Catfish came with creamy grits and buttered green beans. Man was this a great meal! Highly recommend! Fish was light and flaky, grits creamy just an amazing dinner.No room for dessert.Will definitely return.
