Hear from our valued guests
We went for Mothers Day awesome food and service have to visit if you are in the Tremont area the food is very very delicious!!!
Absolutely amazing food, if you are visiting and looking for some place get there early at 9 when it opens, it fills up is an understatement, but so worth it!!! Sierra was wonderful as well as the rest of the staff.
Service is awesome. The food is fantastic, delicious and plentiful. Seating is great and the coffee is excellent. Everyone there are very professional, friendly and very polite. Highly recommend this place.
Maybe the freshest places I’ve ever been. Our waiter said it was farm to table and it tastes like it! The flavors were great. The dishes were filling and a decent size. A really nice, cozy, and warm place to grab breakfast or lunch.
Nice quaint, cozy coffee shop vibe. As a photographer I was impressed with the presentation of the entrees. Food was good... but the biscuit and gravy could use a little more effort with the flavor to bring it out of the mushroom soup stage. Overall great experience, and waiter was attentive.
We had an amazing brunch at Lucky’s today! My husband and I got married at the courthouse this morning, and decided to stop in for a meal at Lucky’s after to celebrate. The food was incredible, as always (we had the biscuits and gravy, and the waffles!) The staff truly went above and beyond to help make our day even more special. They were so attentive, and even snapped some pictures for us! Unfortunately, we forgot to ask specifically for the names of the people who served us, but they were so kind and helpful, even down to helping us pick out which desserts we wanted. For anyone visiting Cleveland, Lucky’s is a must. :)
Delicious brunch, generous portions, friendly staff and great atmosphere. We really enjoyed sitting outside. Our server was welcoming and explained how everything is farm to table.
This place is awesome. A true hidden gem in the Tremont District of Cleveland. My server Tori was awesome. Very attentive, always checking to be sure everything was okay. I ordered the biscuits breakfast with a side of Pecan bacon. This place is small but the food is LARGE. Everything comes from local farmers and everything is made from scratch fresh. Definitely worth the wait.
Lucky’s Cafe is a hidden gem! We stopped here today for brunch and didn’t expect what we got. Great service, farm to table fresh food, seating outside next to their garden! I ordered the shipwreck, eggs with potatoes, and onions. You can tell each dish on the menu was well thought out and prepared with excellence in mind. If you’re in the area skip the traditional chains and go get yourself some delicious, homemade cuisine!
Me and my bestie decided to try a new breakfast spot and ended up at Lucky’s Cafe—and wow, I’m so glad we did. Yes, there was a bit of a wait, but it was worth every single minute and every dime. Every single thing we ordered was incredible. I’m a pretty picky eater (like, I need my sausage patties burnt exactly how I like them), and they nailed it. That alone impressed me, but everything else was just as good. And I have to shout out Tori—hands down the best server I’ve ever had. Even though it was super busy and a little packed, she still took the time to be attentive, check on us, and genuinely care about our experience. You can tell she really loves what she does, and it made our whole visit even better. I will absolutely be back—this is officially my new favorite brunch spot. Thank you, Tori, for being such a bright light!
