Amazing food dished out by a local legend! Lucky has great jokes and a better attitude. Take your time with this place, it’s just him running the show but occasionally with some help! Great portions for the price. CASH ONLY!

Moving to San Diego 13 years ago was one of the best things I could have done. But as a New Yorker, I missed eating the way I would back home. I love the simplicity of the menu, speed at which it is cooked and the...Read More

Inexpensive and chock full of character. Counter seating only. It has charm, quirkiness, and plenty of breakfast options. It's not the best breakfast you'll ever eat, but the totality of the experience and low prices make it worthwhile.

Loved it. Nice, cheap, authentic little place. Old man gave us a whole bunch of gear too, a bottle opener, a calendar, free fortune cookies and an Italian almond chocolate cookie.

If you want a mango infused chutney, mimosa craft brewed table tennis $20 bunch, please move on. We don’t want you. Please don’t ruin a perfect greasy spoon.

An old man (named Lucky?) will make you one of four simple American breakfasts for under 10$. Cash only. He runs the whole diner by himself so it might be slow when there's lots of people. It's a good breakfast though.

Luckys is no nonsense breakfast. It’s exactly what you need and nothing more. This place feels like it’s a Time Capsule, very clean and the owner does everything himself. Super cute north park gem that I hope sticks around long past lucky himself

It's like having breakfast at your grandpa's house. Lucky interacts with you as if you were family, and he takes and cooks the order for you. The food tastes great and the prices are low, so make sure you tip him well!

Rest in peace Lucky. You will be deeply missed in this community. And for the guy who reviewed the place a month ago you're an idiot... this is the wrong business he's been on sick leave for at least 10 months. Also he has never...Read More
