I’m a pig. A big, fat pig. I am also quite full. Had dinner tonight (Wednesday) with friend M.D. (Mister MD) We had previously enjoyed a quite pricey meal at Street and wanted a less expensive affair. We managed to decrease the bill by $10 bucks each. It’s a start! Lucky Devil’s is another in the line of upscale burger joints. And I feel the need to try each and every one of them. It’s my patriotic duty, for Pete’s sake! The crowd here is 75% hungry male, 20% dorky tourist (it’s located blocks from Mann’s Chinese Theater) and 5% Miscellaneous (us). Discovering there was a variety of things on the menu besides burgers, we finally were able to narrow it down to the following: 1. Kobe Bacon Blue Burger with Fire Slaw 2. Sweet Potato Fries 3. Sopressata Flatbread Pizza 4. 2 imported beers I, personally, feel we devoured the best of this place. Here’s a brief synopsis: 1. Burger patty was very thick, expertly cooked. Not as soggy as Kobe beef can be. The brioche bun did NOT fall apart. Success! Cole slaw was heavy on carrots (a good thing), spicy. I liked it. 2. A shitload of fries, many of them thin, short and crispy. We didn’t finish them. I couldn’t help but think of the poverty striken children of the world that don’t even get half the portion of sweet potato fries that we did. 3. I’m a lover of flatbread pizza. This was a good one, very crispy. The ends were burnt. I like it that way, my friend did not. I continued to consume it, even as my belly began to distend. 4. Beers were good. Mmm. Beer.

This place RULES for burgers. Honestly, I can't stop thinking about how badly I want to have a burger since we went there. It's not the cheapest burger in town, but oh my gosh...it's SO good. Go and have a burger. You will be so happy you did.

This place is awesome! Pricey for a burger but totally worth it if you love great burgers and want to treat yourself once in a while.And... you can wash it down with a killer microbrew. The desserts look absolutely amazing but I never have room for them as I'm always way too full from the burger. Go, give it a try, it's great, really.

Never heard of Lucky Vanous until now, but I could care less. This place isn't too good. The food quality seemed substandard, and the service was totally lacksidasical. Yes, there is a huge promotional push. My group of friends even wanted to go somewhere else. However, we chose here. We walked in and they were playing "Let it Be," the album. I commented that "Let it Be" is not a "drinking" album. It seemed to somewhat sour the mood, although I do like those songs. However, I don't generally get off drinking to "Across the Universe." Whatever. The waitress came over a half hour after we were seated. That was not so great. We ordered. The food took an hour to get to us, by which time I had lost my appetite. I did take it home, but it wasn't much of an experience there either. The waitress was kind; she did ask me if I wanted the burger "recooked" because "sometimes they have a tendency to overcook the meals." I declined. Yes, the bill was WAY overpriced. I think the group of 4 spent over $100 for 4 burgers, 2 fries, and 2 drinks a piece. I can go anywhere, get better food and service, and spend less. In an era where gas is $5 a gallon, $20 per burger is a rip off. The very young Indian lady who hands out fliers for this place on the Boulevard is the only bright spot about this; she is very attractive, but don't let that fool you. I would never recommend spending that kind of money for this food. Sure, the beer was fine. But if you're going to go to Lucky Devils, only drink and do not eat. That way, you'll be served in the first 40 minutes of your trip to the restaurant. Pass.

Got a flier for this place in my mail and so a friend and I checked it out one night. She loves her burgers and I like things that are a bit different and we were both quite satisfied. The burgers were delicious (and huge!) and for dessert we had one of their specialty cupcakes. Their cupcakes come in as many varieties as the Cheesecake Factory has cheesecake and it was a perfect way to top off the meal. The joint has a neat retro, 70s vibe to it.
