Since moving to Chicago, I've created a certain tradition for the past 3 years and that's to watch week 1 NFL football all day on Sunday and order Lucky's wings. Because FOOTBALL IS BACK BABY!!!!! I first heard of this place from Man vs. Food and I inspire one day to be like Adam Richman and take on the Lucky's stuffed sandwich challenge, which is to finish 3 sandwiches in under 1 hour. Lots have tried and many have failed.
Lucky's is known for their massive 1.5 lb sandwiches stuffed with slaw, tomatoes, and fries. My favorite is the Two Bagger because I love Pastrami and Corned Beef. Their sandwiches have great flavor and are a great bang for your buck. Other go-to's are the Roast Beef and Blue Demon.
But I came here for the wings. The wings are pretty underrated at Lucky's because of their sandwiches. I like to order them extra crispy because sometimes they aren't crispy enough. But I love their sauces. My favorites are the Garlic Parmigiana, Chipotle BBQ, Honey Mustard, and the Teriyaki. The OMG isn't overwhelming spicy, but it is their spiciest. Take that with a grain of salt because I have a very high spice tolerance.
Lucky's is very small and it seats about 30 people. It is a nice bar in Wrigleyville and they have about 6 beers on draft. Service has been great and Ryan, the Bartender, is a cool dude. If you have ever heard of Primanti Brothers in Pennsylvania, Lucky's is very similar to them and that is a compliment!
