Lucky’s 13 Pub

We ate yesterday at Lucky 13’s Pub and it was wonderful! I got the Birria grilled cheese, and my boyfriend got the Cajun hash! Both were so yummy and fresh! From the time that we sat down, ate our food and left- It was less than 30 minutes! Our server was extremely sweet as well and they have a huge popcorn machine and you get free popcorn so that’s pretty cool! Definitely go check them out!

Dinner here was good, the nacho plate is huge, we ordered the 1/2 and it was very large can’t imagine what a full would be!. The Curd burger is delicious.

Stopped before heading to the airport. I loved the Monte Cristo! Fries were a bit lack luster and unseasoned, but they forgot my ranch so the time I got that they’d been sitting a bit. But the sandwich was fantastic! Batter fried vs French toast type bread. Good flavor with more meat than I was expecting (and good quality). Lots of powdered sugar. French toast Benedict was good (maple hollandaise on the side) yet if that was a poached egg I learned something new today. Ha But the sunny side up medium hard egg sure made the dish look visually appealing! (Ate all of it!) Cheesy hashbrowns needed salt, but they were flavorful outside of that. Little cold. Bloody Mary was solid, and I saw they offered a bloody flight on the menu. I hope to try that next time. We had to get up and steal silverware and utensils from another open table to eat. Weren’t offered refills or another round of beverages. Server was probably just busy… Lots of parking. There was some construction in the area so getting there was a little different. But nothing that was a show stopper. We weren’t asked for a seating preference: they had open booths, tables and bar seats. They put us in a booth in the corner, so I cant really speak to what the place looked like. Popcorn they served us while waiting for food was really good, too! I would go back for that and the Monte Cristo!

It’s really crowded during their happy hour time, so plan ahead. They have music playing, which is nice, but it was too loud for me to talk to the person across from me. The server was nice and checked up on us regularly. The bang bang shrimp was not real spicy but had a cream base to kt which was favorable.

The wings were really good and the black and bleu burger was very decent. Love the free popcorn. It tastes just like the movie theater kind. I despise sweet potatoes but their sweet potato waffle fries were absolutely amazing. I highly recommend.

Lucky’s has affordable tasty food, solid specials and happy hour, great service, and a good environment for weekly bingo and brunch bingo with FREE AYCE popcorn! It’s a slam dunk all around. Friends and I have played bingo elsewhere but we find ourselves coming back to Lucky’s for all the reasons stated earlier. Nowhere else seems to have this winning combo – which makes Lucky’s one of our favs in the Twin Cities.

Needed a quick lunch near our hotel. Seems like a place where a lot of regulars go and when people who work nearby go for lunch. Server was very friendly. Favorite part was the popcorn! The food was fine, nothing amazing. A bit expensive for what it is. Would go again if in the area but would probably seek out other options to try first.

Had a work dinner with a large group and the hosts did a great job accommodating (and quickly)!

Ran the typical gambit: a drink, apps, and a main.

Drink: Vanilla Old Fashioned; 3.5/5; there were hints of good flavor but was pretty watered down.

Apps: Cheese curds and pizza rolls: 4.5/5; cheese curds were delicious and the pizza rolls are what Totino’s dream about becoming when they’re older.

Main: Minnesota Bowl (pictured); 4.5/5; the walleye was blackened and cooked perfectly, the portion was generous, and the hollandaise was great. Only wish was a little lighter on the rice and a little heavier on the veggies.

Bonus points for an exceptional server as well!
