Lucky's Prime Time

While visiting Petoskey Michigan, we thought we would drop into Lucky 's for lunch, we have 5 different Lucky's restaurants closer to home and have been patrons in them for probably 20 years. We were surprised as we approached the restaurant that there was few cars in the parking lot at 1:00 on a Saturday. Once we were seated we noticed barely 25 % of the tables were occupied.After our soup and salad dishes were cleared , we awaited at least 30 minutes , before our house specialty Luckys French dip sandwiches with fries arrived ... cold. We sampled them a little, and waited extensively for the non return of our waitress.We eventually flagged down a waiter , who managed to get the manager to our table a few minutes later. I asked the manager if Mr Lucky was grumpy when he visited, she r

The food is good for the price range. I really liked the stuffed crab grouper. However, that and most of the food that we ordered was pretty greasy. The restaurant is pretty crowded, and it felt like everybody was close together. The service was great, and we didn’t wait too long for our food. Because the restaurant isn’t downtown, the parking is easy.

My husband and I had an absolutely wonderful lunch and our server was friendly and attentive. We started with the dynamite shrimp appetizer. At least a dozen breaded and fried shrimp with a unique and spicy sauce. My husband had the perch and it was a literal tower of 5 filets on mashed potatoes with a lemon cream sauce, a side of coleslaw and a cup of French onion soup. I had the shrimp and crab stuffed grouper smothered with a creamy lobster sauce, macaroni and cheese and a cup of French onion soup. The portions are large so we took a lot of the food with us. Next time, yes we're planning on going back this weekend, we'll order about half the amount. I highly recommend Lucky's Prime Time restaurant.

Food was good. We had stuffed mushrooms , delicious! I had ribs that were huge full rack and very tender falling off bone the way I like them. So much I took most home for a couple more meals. My husband had the Prime rib au jus which he said was good. My only complaint is on the table was a three sided folding card showing for example, Monday burger special and the daily drink specials of which was Tuesday martini for $7.00. No where on there did it say happy hour. Each day a different special. When our bill came my martini was 9.25. I asked the waitress and she took it to the manager and said no that’s only happy hour! If that’s true they need to change the placard to read happy hour or take it off the table after happy hour is over!

2026 Review: Wow! Its been a little over a year since we had eaten here, but I have to say I am very impressed with our dinner tonight. The garlic bread is still VERY salty. Portions were large and we left stuffed. I had the crab cakes and shrimp again (not remembering I had had them last time I was here). I managed to eat 2 of them and only stopped because I was stuffed. They were salty, but not as I had experienced my previous visit. My husband loved his rib eye. Everything is reasonably priced, especially for the portion. We left with plenty of extra food to snack on later. 2024 Review Below: We had a brand new waiter. He was SUPER friendly and we enjoyed our interactions, however we did get the wrong entrée and an incorrect drink. The atmosphere is nice. I had the crab cakes
