Lucky's Lunch Counter

The establishment provides excellent service and is an ideal location for breakfast or lunch. Its proximity to the nation's top-ranked ballpark is a notable advantage. The culinary offerings were delectable and served promptly while maintaining freshness. Additionally, the establishment is pet-friendly and demonstrated exceptional hospitality by providing water for our canine companion during its meal of pancakes and eggs.

Found this joint walking my dog early morning and tried their hotdog & fries. Well I had starbucks coffee and sandwich in my hand, but their deco and classic diner ambiance stopped me to try this place. Pros: Hotdog was so juicy and delicious! One of the best ones I've tried. Cons: trucks go by alot, loud, and sometimes disturbing. Perhpas this was because I set outside. Nonetheless, I would recommend coming here in the morning time to avoid crowd and possibly homeless.

Kind of a disappointing patty melt. The beef was overcooked so it ended up kind of dry with no sauce to help it along. I spent an extra $1 for a cup of thousand island to solve for the dryness but that's not something I should have to pay extra for to save a sandwich.

After the tour at Petco Field, we were quite hungry. Across the street was Luckys Lunch Counter. Breakfast and hot sandwiches. They have converted dining by the street. We decided on a Ruben with fries. The sandwich came out pretty quick and the fries were hot. The Ruben was delicious it just seemed to not have enough meat. Other than that I reccomend the Ruben. Close to the entry at Petco its convenient to grab a bite before or after a game.

A nice stroll down 5th Ave brought us to Luckys!! Not too busy for lunch we ordered and were served in 5 minutes. Portions were bigger than expected and super tasty!! The only downside is the homeless lingering. It's hard not to notice! I'd recommend eating inside as the fly's were pretty distracting while trying to eat. No fault of Luckys, great little Diner!!

This is a hidden gem in the Gaslamp. Great place to come for lunch or breakfast. Basic diner style menu, where you order at the register and they bring your food to one of the tables outside or the bar seating area inside. Very reasonable prices, considering you are in the San Diego Gaslamp district. And portions are very generous. I ordered a simple egg omelet, hashbrowns, and white toast. The food came out fast and was delish! Ended up coming back for lunch another day.

I highly recommend the Reuben Sandwich ($15.50) from Lucky's! Their pastrami is the absolute best! The meat is perfectly flavored and just the right thickness, it is not paper thin like most places. I also love their sauerkraut, it compliments the entire sandwich so well! I did pay extra for grilled jalapenos ($1) and added fresh tomatoes for free. I recommend the grilled jalapenos and forgo the fresh tomatoes. I also recommend getting the sandwich grilled because they do it really well here.This sandwich was enough to share with another person and it comes with a free side so I think that the price is justified. There is parking right at 6th and K Parkade garage, but you have to pay and they do not validate. However, if you're at the Petco Park or Gaslamp looking for great sandwiches, Lucky's is the place to go!

Placed a to go order and I didn't check before I left. Corned beef on rye with deli mustard only, no lettuce, tomatoes, onion, pickle or mayo. Verbatim order. Loaded with more lettuce, tomato and pickle than corned beef, and smothered with mayo is what I received. I despise the taste of pickles and mayo on corned beef so unfortunately really ruined sandwich for me completely. Have been here before and enjoyed so I'll give it another chance but I'll try to remember to check first if I've ordered to go.

Cute concept and decent sized portions at Lucky's in East Village. There is no table service unless you count the dropping off of food you order up front prior to sitting down. I was excited to try the Jalapeño Patty Melt because I love jalapeños and I'm somewhat of a Patty Melt connoisseur. I was left disappointed by the sheer lack of jalapeños on the burger. I wish I would have taken pictures with the bread off to show how few peppers there were. There was one piece on one half and three small strips on the other. Plenty of onions though. The burger was decent sized and cooked well with a nice healthy serving of fries. My partner got the Griddle Combo and said it was decent. The pancakes were large and served with butter. The scrambled eggs were pretty basic but hot sauce helped. Sodas were four dollars which is just highway robbery and upped our bill unnecessarily. Unless your super thirsty I'd say just get some water to save yourself ten bucks. Bottom line is decent food at a no frills diner but don't expect to be blown away.

Nice, clean lunch spot! Plenty of indoor and outdoor dining. Pet friendly. Within walking distance of petco park. We ordered the hamburger comes with fries and a club sandwich comes with fries as well but switched it for kettle chips. All sandwiches served with a side. The kettle chips taste homemade and fresh. They also serve breakfast and have a create your own salad/sandwich option. A little pricey but good portions, fresh quality ingredients and made with love. Minimal street parking available.
