Lucky Break

When we pulled up, I was not happy my husband was taking me to a place in a strip mall for date night. But, we had a gift card from a charity event so I sucked it up.

To my surprise, once you enter this place, you have no idea you are in a strip mall - between a gun shop and Chinese buffet. It is a great atmosphere with wood paneled walls (that sounds terrible, but it's nice) lots of TV's large booths and pool tables. My favorite part is they offer a great selection of local beers.

Our waiter was Graydon who was fantastic. I had the chicken Philly and my husband had the chicken cordon blue. Both were surprising outstanding. I requested a side salad instead of fries and it came loaded up! Very impressive.

We were pleasantly pleased with the service, price and food. No complaints here - other than I wish there was a Lucky Break by us in north Phoenix!

Was there on a Sunday afternoon.  Not a bunch of people there at the moment, but I can tell this place probably throws down on a weekend night.  They have all the fixins for a good time - photohunt, darts, billiards, Mrs. Pacman/Galaga.  Only had a beer so I can't comment on the food.

As I attended a meetup at Lucky Break, it was my first time through the doors of this establishment. It is bigger than I anticipated and the bar is big, their menu is more than enough and of course they have several pool tables inside. But I wasn't here to play pool.

They have pretty good beer selection, where the local (Arizona) ones are cheap for happy hour. So are several of their dishes like sliders for $4, totally worth it and comes with sweet tater tots. This to me that's weird, but it's a great deal for someone to eat something while sucking down some awesome beers or margaritas.

I consider this place a dive, but then again I do enjoy a good dive bar. Every day they have a different happy hour special, and some days it looks to be a fantastic deal. Since I have a hard time turning down a good deal - I know I will be back here.

They have some music going, and I have no idea where it comes from but it played everything from early Kiss to Beastie Boys. Nothing to brag about, but the music is totally appropriate for the venue. Service was good - we had a new waitress waiting on us, and as she might not be the strongest person to recommend stuff, she didn't get one order wrong... and really that's what matters.

I would never have chosen this place to go to.. ever. But I am glad I ended up here, and I will be back. That is a certainty.
