Lucky's Sandwich Company

I went to Lucky's today as a suggestion from my cousin.  Despite the fact that the place was packed and there was a pre-St. Patrick's Day pub crawl, my friend and I were seated pretty quickly.  I ordered a "Diet-Rite" to drink, no Coke or Pepsi I guess.  For lunch I had the "Double Bagger," which was a corned beef and pastrami sandwich.  The thing about Lucky's is that it serves "Pittsburgh-style sandwiches," which has fries and the cole slaw on the sandwich itself.  I wasn't a big fan of this style however, and couldn't really tell what kind of sandwich I was eating, all I could taste were the fries.  The portions were huge, definitely worthy of being on Man vs. Food.  Great service though, and very speedy for a busy place right by Wrigley Field.

I went to Lucky's with a great deal of skepticism.  I am from Pittsburgh and thought this would be a very poor imitation of Primanti's... let's just say that I was pleasantly surprised!

I ordered the good ol' stalwart, the "cap and cheese".  When the sandwich came out and was actually a bit bigger than Primanti's, at least from what I recall.  The quality was definitely there as well.  This is one of the best sandwiches that I have ever had.  

Let me be clear though, it is not BETTER than Primanti's, but it is just as good.  If you get the chance to stop by and grab a sandwich, don't pass it up.

A whole meal in a sandwich! Fries (good alone), slaw, meat, etc all in a fluffy white bread. To top it off this place is quick and cheap too!

I had the Cajun chicken - was very tasty. It paired perfectly with an old style :)

In a typical Wrigleyville fashion this place can get crowded (think Cubs games and weekend nights). But I have still had a good deal of fun here then and was able to get drinks easily.
