The atmosphere balances that easygoing neighborhood vibe with a touch of spirited charm, making it a spot where both families and friends gather without rush or fuss.

Food at Lucky Duck Grill feels like a creative twist on classic comfort, with dishes that quietly surprise and satisfy. The menu gently invites you to explore—whether it’s a burger kissed with a playful edge, crispy waffle fries that accompany every order like a reliable friend, or housemade touches like crisp onion rings and the unexpected warmth of a Cajun ranch.

The service here was so good! Our waiter was very nice and consistently checked up on us. We got the B3 burger and Buff Chick sandwich and both were good. We especially liked the waffle fries! They’re in the Best Western hotel but it’s a totally separate business. Definitely give it a try!

This restaurant is a real gem! The food was fabulous & unique, the service friendly & very timely & helpful! We had different kinds of delicious burgers, queso fries & onion strings that were freshly prepared & perfectly cooked! We can't wait to go back!

Literally walked in with 3 children who desperately needed a bathroom and something to eat at 5 minutes to 2 on a weekday afternoon. No questions asked they stayed open for us and served the 5 of us lunch, even though we were the only people in the restaurant. We never felt rushed, and the food was great! My granddaughter tried a hamburger for the first time, and she loved it! Wish I could remember the name of the waiter and cook ( who came out to say Hi as we were leaving), but they know who they are! Thank you so much for your hospitality!

Everything was so delicious and amazing. I didn't save room for a shake but I'll try next time. The chicken and burger together were amazing!!! Seems like my fries could have been a little done before the rest the food but still delicious.

I've never had a bad experience here. Great food, great service. The owner is very active within the restaurant, the cooks are on spot, the wait staff does their best to give a welcome experience. I love the Brunch Burger!!!

My husband and I ate at the Lucky Duck Grill for the first time tonight. Excellent food. We had the chicken sandwich with homemade onion rings and the cheese burger with waffle fries. Large portions of onion rings and fries. The food and beverage prices are spot on. Great friendly wait staff and chef. We will be coming back here more often!
