Great meal at Lucky! We explored the Prix Frixe option. Excellent experience! Enjoyed the Brussels sprouts, gnocchi and steak frites. Great atmosphere too.

Stopped in here on the way through a road trip. Our server, Kyle was so sweet and attentive, the food was outstanding, and the drinks were innovative and tasty. Best restaurant experience in a while!

Lucky is a hidden, literally, gem in Roanoke! The one-pager menu narrows down your choices, but fear not, everything is spectacular, you cannot go wrong. My and my crowd’s favorites are the brussel sprouts & the fried chicken. The brussel’s rival any I’ve ever had. Nonetheless, the staff is exceptional and makes every experience worth coming back again. My only slight-knock comes in the lack of choice in alcohol-free beverages and the price point for mock-tails rivaling those of the cocktails, ouch! I had to dig deep for that one, but I’ll be back 😉

First time here, and we were impressed by the selection of food. Cool atmosphere, super friendly staff, and the food was divine. If you are looking for a magical place look no further.

First time here and it did not disappoint! Even better it was restaurant week in Roanoke so I was able to do the 50.00 person three-course dinner! Could not have been happier with my choices! For starters we got a charcuterie board, then the 1st course was a amazing take on French onion soup, 2nd course was a roasted bone marrow, and we added (menu price) Kim-chi roasted oysters, and 1/2 dozen oysters on the half shell that came with cucumber-kimchi, spicy relish,

Neat, bistro style place with stellar service and great, local food choices. Service is top notch and the freshness of every bite is apparent. Love the choice to source as much as possible from local places. You won’t be disappointed no matter what you decide to eat, but the flank steak and brussel sprouts are a must. Was a little loud for my liking, but that just means others were enjoying themselves as much as we were.

One of my favorite restaurants I’ve been to lately. We just spent one night in Roanoke and enjoyed a lovely creative meal. The cocktails are out of this world! Service top notch. Thank you for making our visit a memorable night!

Dawn Evans
Food was tasty. Service was on point. The atmosphere was lovely as it was an anniversary dinner. Only drawback was that it was hard to have a conversation because it was loud. It must just be the acoustic of the space. Loved my drink and the glass it came in! It was a great evening!
