Luke's Sports Bar & Grill

Went here last night for video trivia and it wasn't too bad...

The food was decent enough... We ordered the fried pickles were spears and they were pretty good, but I have to say I think they would be better as chips... The batter was great, but the thickness of the pickle and the batter was a little off... More pickle than batter, but it was still a good eat...  For dinner, I had the fish basket which comes with a side... The fish is a flounder, dipped in the same batter as the pickle from what I could tell, so it was okay, but I felt like I was eating the same thing twice... lol  The fried okra I ordered wasn't deep fried long enough, in my opinion, so it wasn't really crispy, but it was completely cooked... I guess I just like my okra a little well done...

Love finding a "locals" place when anywhere, and Luke's definitely fills that bill.  Being very persnickety about buffalo chicken wings (and having found another good source for wings in Rock Hill) I decided to test the waitress' claim that Luke's were the best in town (and she named the competitor!).  Being a Buffalo-area native, the first thing I liked about Luke's wings was their size -- nice and meaty, definitely pleasing.  They were fried to being slightly crispy, and the sauce (I ordered "hot") was pretty spot-on, except that there was simply too much of it.  To me, wings need to be tossed in the sauce rather than having sauce poured all over them (leaving the ones at the bottom of the pile swimming in sauce).  More definitely was not better, but don't let that mean they didn't taste great.  One recommendation for the folks at Luke's, give folks a few more sticks of celery beyond the four measly ones I got.  Soft drinks are served in cups with accompanying full pitchers for refills -- nice touch.  Above all, Luke's is an economical choice for dinner.  It's definitely bar food, but don't sell the place short.  In the "wings race", I'd pronounce it a tie.

I agree with the other reviewer on most of what he said.  There are an abundance of tv's, but I'm not sure they are situated in just the right places for some of the tables.

They have a pretty big menu of items, your typical bar food.  I too have tried the fried pickles, they are wonderful, they aren't the chips, but the sliced style and they have a little kick to them.  Worth the try!  

I typically don't stick around Rock Hill for Sports Bars, but this would be the best in this area.
