Lucky 13

Such a beautiful night to stop by at this beautiful 🔥 lit place. We were lucky 🍀 to have found it. Well, my husband did of course🥰. This was actually our first time ever seeing or been to and it was a very busy night on a Halloween 🎃 Friday. As we are stopped by the nice lady at the front of the Restaurant. We were asked for our 🆔 or we couldn’t come inside. Rules are rules. I liked that very much. Keeping it safe and keeping the place from losing their licenses to me that was a good sign. The workers greeted us as they waved…, it truly shows you that they were happy 😃 to be there so the food has to be good 😊 right? I thought the bar was cool 😎 oh, they were also raffling prizes so we purchased some tickets 🎟️ and join in the fun 🤩 . Sabastian was our waiter for the evening and he was a delightful guy who helped us on our orders. It was our First time there so we needed guidance on what’s popular to eat. Burgers! 🍔 lol 😂. The waiters/ waitresses to the bartenders were hustling and bustling as they make the customers drinks and servings their meals. The atmosphere was very warm and welcoming. However, I did see saw a lot of people of all walks of life just enjoying themselves. It didn’t matter who you were or what you do. I used to ride Harley 07’ Deluxe black and white, fully dressed for 20 years. So it brought good vibes and a lot of good 😌memories. As our appetizers came out it looked tasty and delicious 😋 and followed by the burgers and fries. We munched on them burgers and it was delicious 😋. These two appetizers were so good 😊 fried pickles and jalapeños wrapped in bacons are my favorite 😍 appetizers. All in all, what matters more are the two guys that love their burgers and fries they loved it so much they want to come back for more as well as for me too. There shall be more date nights for sure! 👍

Having never been here, I tried the regular cheeseburger but added a side of barbecue sauce so I could try it both ways. It’s hard to say if I liked it better with or without the barbecue sauce, both were good! I paid extra for a side of Mac n cheese, and it’s not worth paying extra for. But the burger was pretty gosh darn good. My husband has been here a few times, so this time he opted for a Buffalo chicken sandwich and he was pretty happy about it. I don’t eat burgers often enough to have much of an opinion (thanks to my pizza-obsessed husband) but it was definitely one of the best burgers I’ve ever had, so it’s easy to see why they are famous. Also my husband got the peach lemonade and it was a very large portion, you get your moneys worth for sure. All in all a great experience and I would dare say pretty reasonably priced.

Word of mouth brought us here. Parking lot is very small, and surrounding areas were hard to find a space to park. Food was good and drinks are served in large mugs to ensure proper hydration. Staff was attentive and friendly! This bar/grill has the sports bar vibe and inside can get loud. The outdoor seating is good but gravel parking lot is tiny.

Easily the best burger and fries in the city. House black lager is phenomenal abd has a perfect balance of flavor between a lager and stout! Stop by and you WILL NOT BE DISAPPOINTED!

The atmosphere is very pleasant, good music, the attention and service are excellent. The food is very delicious. The chips with salsa are great, I loved the chips, the burgers are amazing, the fries and onion rings are very good. I want to go back to try other burgers that look incredibly delicious.

Needed a pick me up after Redwest Festival cancelled. This place did not disappoint! Burgers were huge and tasty, rosemary garlic fries were awesome, and our serve Luke provided some great hospitality. Highly recommend!

Delicious food. Might be the best burger I’ve ever had. Wife had the pastrami burger and I had the ol cowboy. Both were amazing. Their onion rings are also fantastic.

Got the Swiss and Pastrami Burger which was a monster, very good and cooked well. The bartender was able to recommend their bacon and jalapeño which added to the monster. Wish I could have finished the fries but it was a lot of food. Parking is absolutely atrocious so plan ahead as it is very limited.

Dropped in and Juan took care of me and my friends always a good vibe and will definitely be back! 100%

We recently visited Lucky 13 with a group of six and had a fantastic experience! From the moment we walked in, we felt well taken care of, thanks to our exceptional waiter, Jake. Jake was attentive, friendly, and on top of everything, despite our larger group. As for the food, it was outstanding! We ordered the chicken fried steak and chilaquiles, and both were delicious. The chicken fried steak was perfectly crispy with just the right amount of seasoning, and the chilaquiles had a great balance of flavor and texture. You can tell the kitchen takes pride in their dishes. Their hot sauce was super good, I recommend it! Thanks to Jake and the whole Lucky 13 team, we had a memorable meal. Highly recommend if you're in the area--definitely ask for Jake if you want top-notch service!

Service: 5 Ambience: 4 (atrue burger joint) Cheeseburger: 4 Fries: 4 I am a tough grader. A 5 means the subject in question is among the best of its kind, but I don't cross-compare. That means a '5' for a diner is among the best diners but is not compared to something like a Michelin Star restaurant. A 4 means it is in the top 20% of similar items that I've enjoyed in my life. A 3 means it was good without any significant detractions. A 2 and it just wasn't worth it. A 1 means it's worth suing over! ;)

Loved this place! I am partial to burgers. I acknowledge my bias of really liking burgers (I think it's because in high school, my dad took us to get burgers every weekend and it's such a treat). Lucky 13 is so unassuming that it really did pleasantly surprise me. Fellow Yelper Daniella B recommended it (also my HS friend). I got the regular burger and the portion is generous. Everything was just generously portioned, well-flavored, well-seasoned, well-cooked. I loved their fries too. I also think the value (food taste/quality to price point) was really good. The ambiance is like a bar-esque atmosphere, casual, nothing amazing, but I weigh the food and value so much more. Bathrooms from what I can remember is pretty clean. They had a small parking lot for guests. I learned this coming here - it's very common to need to show ID in Utah eateries.

The service was awesome! Even with training in progress. I also had a Key Lime Pie Shot that was amazing. Very inviting intimate atmosphere with a very diverse staff which made me feel very relaxed and comfortable. Best Burger I've had in over 20 years!! Great Spot for All!

Definitely a Utah classic, must eat for anyone who considers themselves a burger enthusiast. The servers are always quick, polite, and well versed in the menu. I was personally so impressed and pleased with the accommodations they provided when we mentioned we were splitting a burger. When our food arrived it was two baskets with a half burger and fries. That little bit of convenience was SO nice. Parking is pretty limited and difficult, and there's lots of unhoused in the area - that's honestly the only drawback of the place.

This was THE place to meet up for a burger before hitting a baseball game or the nearby haunted house. Now that the ball field is moving, Lucky 13 might be a different type of place. That remains to be seen. Regardless of what's nearby, you can find a solid burger here. It's a sports bar vibe, with high top tables, large screen TVs playing different sporting events and high energy all around. If you're into spicy fry sauce, be sure to try their "tractor sauce." It's just the right combination of flavor and spice, not too over the top. And not a hint of tractor to it, I might say.

The vibes were chill, but it apparently gets busy on Saturday nights. The service was just okay - it was obvious that our waiter was pre occupied. The Celestial Burger was ah-mazing! Not a single bad thing to say about it.

My sister and I had just landed and looking for a good burger place. Lucky 13 was the winner. It is a dive bar, I guess. but all in all, you will need to show ID but apparently that is Utah's law. Buck was the hostess and he was AMAZING!! we asked for the recommendation for his favorite burger. My server, Lupe, was kind. Just know that allll the drinks are HUGE. The burgers were HUGE. I ordered the Old Man which is with jalapeños, green onion and Swiss cheese. The jalapeño weren't that spicy so don't freak out too much. There's bar seats, interior seats and patio seating. The parking lot is a bit small but there's street parking as well.

My brother took me here during my visit to Salt Lake City, knowing I love a great burger, great beer and the tavern scene. Lucky 13 easily gets 5 stars for all three categories. I loved the atmosphere of the old time saloon. Their beer menu was great, with several local choices on tap as well as many more in bottles or cans. Burgers were big, bountiful and very well priced. My brother and I shared the pastrami Swiss burger and the stinky bacon burger. Both were cooked to juicy perfection and very filling. The deep fried pickles were a great starter too. Utah fry sauce is awesome as well!

Lucky 13 in Salt Lake City is a must-visit for burger lovers! I tried the Celestial Burger, which was absolutely out of this world, and my fiancé got the Bacon Stinky Cheeseburger with buffalo sauce, packed with flavor and just the right amount of heat. The parking and seating are a bit limited, but they have outdoor heaters that keep you warm if there's a wait, making the experience more comfortable. The cozy vibe inside adds to the charm, and the friendly staff knows their stuff, offering great recommendations to help you pick the perfect burger. Can't wait to return!

After work late lunch: Pastrami Swiss Burger, rings and a stein of Black lager. Sweet way of closing a day of work.

Lucky 13 first time diners today!! Excellent food, drinks, service and bar vibe!! My husband got a very generous iced tea and the Fungus Amongus Veggie burger. I got a refreshing Pacifico and the House Smoked BLT sandwich on fresh made sourdough!! By far the best BLT I've ever had!! Everything was great!! Can't wait to come back and try some more food and drinks!!

If you're a fan of great food, this bar is an absolute must-visit. It's no surprise that they've earned multiple awards for their sandwiches - they are truly in a league of their own. The quality of the ingredients is evident in every bite, and the flavors are perfectly balanced. Their burgers are another standout: generous in size, packed with flavor, and well worth every penny. Given the quality of the food, the prices are more than reasonable. The portions are hearty, ensuring you get great value for your money. On top of that, the staff is incredibly welcoming and friendly, making the whole experience even more enjoyable. Whether you're here for a casual meal or a night out, you won't be disappointed!

The hamburgers from this place are delicious, and you can get full with one for sure. You must bring a valid ID or passport to let you in, no matter if you're older enough, but if you don't have an identification, they won't let you in. Be patient as it gets full, especially on the weekends or game days, as the baseball stadium is next to it.

Lucky 13 is the best!! Food, vibes, and service are all outstanding! It is a bar so don't forget your ID! They have outdoor seating as well as indoor. I usually order a burger (the bacon guacamole cheeseburger if they have it) and the fries pickles. They are pickle spears and holy cow they are the best thing over ever had. They have a special in house fry sauce that I just can't get enough of, so highly recommend getting a side of that. This time I tried the buffalo chicken wrap and was blown away. It was so delicious and had crispy chicken tenders, tomatoes, lettuce, blue cheese, and buffalo sauce. Such a great spot if you're downtown and looking for a local bar vibe! Also right across from the Bee's stadium, so a great stop before a baseball game!

Haven't been in awhile but this last Sunday was a bit of a disappointment. Chicken fried steak used to be the best, now it's gravy is flavorless, it's smaller and the side of bacon we got was paper thin unlike the bacon they have been famous for. Bloody Mary and a breakfast plate was $30 - Yikes.

Food - like all the different varieties of burger and sandwiches . Service - the service is good . Ambiance - like that it's a bar and restaurant & patio .

I was so excited to try this place, as I had heard they had a great selection of game meat burgers. We decided to head there about 4 pm on a Saturday, hoping to avoid a packed house. There were only a few people there, the service was slow, and surprisingly unfriendly...almost like the server was annoyed to have customers. When looking at the menu, we learned that they only have certain meats on certain days, which was disappointing - but that's on me for not noticing that notation on their website prior to us going there. Overall, the food was ok; a bit pricey for what you get (like most things in today's world), and the atmosphere was just not welcoming. Add all that together and we likely will not choose to return soon.

I brought my team here because I heard they had really good burgers. We came for lunch and when we walked in, it was literally empty. The guy still told us that we couldn't sit anywhere inside even though 95% of their tables were empty. So he takes us outside and every single table outside is empty, but he says we can only choose from four. So I'm already taking it a little personally like OK I guess it's the way I look or something. Maybe it's because I'm in hospital scrubs he wants me out here. Then he comes to the table he's like what do you guys want to drink? I tell him Dr Pepper and then he asks the other person beside me and after the other person says something he goes "last time I checked, we didn't have Dr Pepper". I'm thinking to myself that couldn't have been your original response. But here's what takes the cake. This is the reason I wrote this review. They charged me $12 for root beer when he didn't even tell me that root beer was an up charge. So I tip him five dollars and it comes out to $42 and some change. Well, the amount just posted on my AMX as a permanent it's for $52. He added $10 to himself. That was an accident or whether he's trying to slip it on by so he can get 10 more dollars out of a tip is extremely shady. I would never go to this establishment because of that alone. How are you gonna charge me 10 more dollars and what the receipt says. I disputed the charge and I have a picture of the receipt that I sent to my credit card company so that they know that I'm not lying Update: in response to the owners response, the point was if you're going to tell me, you can give me something and it's not the same amount as what I asked then usually people go, that is a little bit different though because it's by the bottle, it doesn't come from a fountain at least they give you a heads up. As far as receipt claim to American Express already accepted it and I'll go ahead and I'll drop it in here as well. I'm sure if I challenged your business because your guy put in 10 more dollars and what it was you were notified about it. But I'll put the receipt here too so that it's not a "phantom "receipt like you're claiming it to be. Why would I want to contact you directly after all the problems ensued when I was there? Do you think if I would've contact you I would've expected to be met with friendliness? I mean this review proves that I wouldn't have been met with friendliness! You gotta be a certain kind of person to come on here and not even take responsibility for sneakily throwing money on peoples tabs or shade being thrown about where to sit in an empty place at 11:15 am. It's not an accusation. It's a fact I'll even post the $10 chargeback from AMX because of my challenge.

Oh man I never finished my review when I was eating this but sheesh the jalapeño poppers are AWESOME! This particular day they were flaming hot out of control and I loved it! lol. But that's the nature of fresh jalapeños is you get mild or hot based on the harvest. I think they might be off menu but either way they hand make them and run out. So get them when they're available! Cool bar, nice vibes, plenty of seating, and staff pays attention to get to know each patron.

Lucky 13 is probably the best burger and beer joint in SLC! Come in, sit down, order The Celestial Burger and a brew, and have a great time. Staff was nice and the prices are fair. I highly recommend Lucky 13 for your next cheat meal!

Straight up best burger I've had. I've come in a few times now. Manis and Chris. These guys get it done. Great service. Cool dudes. Greta burgers. If you don't come in for a burger and a beer then who are you ?

It's a great bar that serves really good food. I loved their pastrami. Servers are very friendly and care about what they serve. Exceptional!

We have been saying we have to try Lucky 13 for a while now. We just did and boy are we happy! The service was great. Everyone was very kind and made our visit fun. The burgers were terrific. The onion rings seemed hand battered. The fries had rosemary. Everything was hot and delicious. I have a cucumber cabron, Well, I had two. I need to go back just for this drink! My husband had a mojito. We enjoyed every single thing.

While visiting SLC got a chance for a late night dinner with family. Luck 13 provided a great opportunity to try SLC cuisine. We were seated quickly and was able to sit outside. Lucky 13 has an extensive drink and beer menu. Portions served were smaller than expected but your in SLC, so you go with the flow. If your interested in a creative take on burgers and sandwiches, this is your place. Didn't have to worry about burger temperatures as they were all served medium well. All meals were perfectly seasoned and served with a house aoli with fries, yummy. If you're interested in sitting inside, beware of the loud music, but again Lucky 13 is a rustic brews and burger joint. Overall very impressed with our experience, if you in the SLC area, check out Lucky 13.

Wow! That's all I can say! My colleagues told me to try the peanut butter burger, and I was a bit skeptical, but believe it or not, it was one of the best burgers I have ever had. Hands down. The burger was fresh and delicious, the peanut butter wasn't strong and it was just right. I was really surprised how delicious it taste. I will definitely be coming here again. The service was great; all the servers were nice and friendly and the restaurant had a great vibe. I really liked the ambiance of everything. Hands down the best burger ever!

The burgers are amazing! Must try the deep fried pickle spears! OMG!! There was an event going on when we went, and the service and ambiance was still on point! This is a must try place when in Salt Lake City! Especially if you want a melt in your mouth burger!!

Good service and alright food. If you come here expecting a bar setting its great, but for the best burgers in Utah? Not so much

Food was delicious. Burgers were perfectly cooked with great flavor (Celestial and Breath Enhancer) Fries were crispy and flavorful (Cajun and Rosemary-Garlic). Best fried pickels I've had between California, Nevada, New Orleans, Florida and Utah. Will definitely make it a regular stop in spot when I'm in Utah.

This was about 5 years ago on my way to bird hunt in South Dakota. Being after 12am in the morning I was hungry after driving 7 hrs all ready and didn't want truck stop or fast food. Googled places to eat. Found this place just off the interstate. Pulled in. They were open. The places is kind of rockabilly, which was awesome. Waiter was awesome and polite. Their special was a buffalo or ostrich burger. I ordered the double bacon cheeseburger with fries. Order came out on time and was delicious. For a bar/restaurant wasn't very loud. Ordered the buffalo burger to go. Which I ate later down the road. Was also awesome. Couple years later passing through again. My buddy's and I decided to drop in again. This time it was lunch time. No problem getting in. Took a little time ordering but it was packed due to lunch time. Ordered and food came out hot and delicious. Great atmosphere and kind employees, awesome food & not over priced. I would definitely recommend this place. The food is great and it leaves some cash left in your wallet for other things. Keep up the great work Lucky 13.

My favorite burger joint of all time. Over the years I've had like 4 or 5 burgers here and they all rank up in the top 6 burgers I've had in America. They use proper thick 1/3 lb juicy patties always grilled perfectly medium. They e always had a different special which I've tried a few times, and I still have dreams about this jalapeño cream cheese lamb burger The place is classically scuzzy in the best way, very Road House vibes. Hope they don't ever change.

The parking lot fills up fast but there's lot of parking on the side street. Just don't block driveways. Every time I come there is a line to get in. When it's cold out they have space heaters near the front. It's not super big inside but it's fun atmosphere! They have an awesome beer list and really fun mixed drinks! In the winter they have hot chocolate/coffee cocktails and they are amazing!! The burgers are SOOOO good!!!!! I haven't had one I don't like yet! This is one of my favorite spots to bring out of town guests!! Delish!!!

Soooo I got the Buffalo chicken wrap.. and considering it's a burger place, I will not be ordering that again. So besides my wrap not being the best, I wanna give another shot for sure. The fried pickles were great! The atmosphere and servers are nice. They kinda make the place feel like a club or something with the security outside so I was a little shocked to see during the day but it was still a nice place and good outside area. Not for kids.

All though small, the food and service were exceptional. Several tv's to watch and the music playing was enjoyable. The only con is parking.

So far I have been loving all the different Pub Burgers I've tried in SLC. Lucky 13 did not disappoint. My burger was served with a thick juicy patty, crispy thick-cut bacon, and freshly cut veggies on a brioche bun. I liked the dive bar environment with a great craft beer selection as well as creatively crafted cocktails. It's common to have to wait for a table at this popular spot. Located near the Salt Lake Bees baseball complex so plan ahead on game days. Service was nothing special but I guess I shouldn't have high expectations from a dive bar. Definitely recommend for Pub Burgers

This used to be THEE spot for burgers, but since my last visit, it has gone down for me. The only options for condiments are ketchup, mustard, salt and pepper. They used to have a 6pack full of condiments including malt vinegar and Tabasco, hot sauce, etc and it's all gone. If you want hot sauce, they have habanero sauce which is way hot! The bacon chicken wrap was just ok. There was such small pieces of chicken in the wrap that I was basically eating a wrapped lettuce. There's a buffalo chicken wrap, but they can't give me that buffalo sauce as my hot sauce which is disappointing. I wanted to try their Bloody Mary which typically comes with bacon, which I didn't realize was an extra charge now. They also charged me for ranch and didn't tell me it was extra. She just asked if I wanted ranch with my fries. The #1 pet peeve I hate about service at restaurants these days is finding "hidden fees" on my receipt.

What. A. Burger. Probably one of the best restaurants in SLC. Prior to entry they do card you which was something I found interesting as a visitor. You then enter into a lively and inviting restaurant with plenty of bar and table seating. Service was prompt and friendly. When I have a burger, the most important part is the patty itself. Let me tell you, this burger was juicy, thick, flavorful, and cooked to perfection (medium for me). I ordered the Ring of Fire which packs a punch with roasted Jalapeños AND roasted Habaneros. The bacon was smoky and crispy. Caramelized onions were on point. I upgraded to the rosemary garlic fries and highly recommend it. Returning to the foodie paradise that is SoCal, I'll remember this burger.

Love this place. One of the best burgers I've ever had. The flavor of everything is just so good. This last trip I tried the Nut Butter Burger which I couldn't even order with a straight face. I was a bit skeptical but I was too curious and had to try a burger with peanut butter on it. It was so good! I'd definitely get it again. I may even try making it at home. We went on St Pattys day. It was super fun with everyone in green, drinking green beer. We got the Irish nachos for an appetizer which were a special for St Pattys Day. They were really good, they should offer those all the time. They had a mix of beer cheese and some other cheesy goodness. I don't remember what all it had but they were super good.

THIS PLACE DOES NOT DISAPPOINT!!! We were visiting from out of town (Colorado) and a local recommended this place to us.. literally the best burger I have ever ever had! And the fried pickles and onion rings, to die for!!! I will never forget this place!! *children not allowed, it is considered a bar* BUT was super great vibes and clean! I wished I could give 100 stars!! The service was also top notch! Stop reading and go!!! Now!!

This place was good but not great or amazing. I came here with my Dad seeking out a great burger. First, even in the middle of the day the pub is really dark and it didn't seem very clean. I get it's a pub but it smelled really bad inside and if it hadn't been blazing outside we would have moved. Our server was okay. We had to ask for things like straws, refills, and when we had questions about the menu they didn't really seem to care. I got a bacon burger. They don't do lettuce wrapped which I always hope places have for preferences and allergies. The flavor of the meat was good and it was cooked well. The fries were very soft so if you want them crispy you have to ask. My dad got their blue cheese burger and the blue cheese really overpowered all of the other burger flavors so the flavor balance was definitely off. This place was fine and the burger was average. I would come back if someone else I know really wanted to but I wouldn't seek this place out. Much better burger spots available in salt lake.

The food was great. It's definitely giving pub dive bar energy and it's great. Such a good option for a late night food run. We needed somewhere to eat semi close to the bars we were going to go to so it was good. The service was alright seems like they are short staffed but nothing too crazy just timing wise took a long time to get out food and get to leave so only complaint but honestly great late night option especially if you like burger and american type food!

The food was great, good price and staff and ambiance was so kind and helpful, I'll get back this place!

I enjoyed the Pig Pen burger, the fries, and the fry sauce was very interesting. This was our first time visiting Salt Lake City and this was probably one of the best places we tried. Service was excellent. I just thought the prices were a tad expensive (particularly some of the local canned beers which were over $10 per pint).

Lucky 13 is a great place to go and get your yummy, juicy burger on!! Everybody knows the best place to go get a burger is at the bar! Lucky 13 to be exact. There was a bar called the office lounge but they're closed. The best burger around is at lucky 13. The place is a dive, But it's not a dive. Everyone who goes there, goes there for the good beer, the good drinks, the music, the atmosphere, the friends, the party and MOST especially the food. I asked for my bun toasted and they toasted it very well. We had to go back the following week And do it all over again.

Soooo good! Once you pick up one of these giant burgers you really can't set it back down so be ready to dive in. I had the Ol' man with bacon and while I may need a coronary bypass afterward it was totally worth it and I'll do it again. The Cajun fries were also delicious. Even better than the food though was the atmosphere. It was very laid back with good music and a California feel. All around I had a great experience here and the beer selection was pretty good. They had plenty of options and a sour beer on draft which is all I can ask for. Great service too. I'll definitely be back

This is probably the. Umber one recommended burger shop in the valley. It's definitely an institution for a good burger and a cold drink. The wait staff is fast and the kitchen has been pretty quick in my experience. I don't make it here often enough, but always enjoy the burger when I do. I had the caprese burger, which was a special, and it was great. I would definitely order it again. But it may be limited time, as it is not on the printed menu. Portions are good, and price is reasonable. The main cons with this place, it is official a bar, so no one under 21 is allowed. The seating feels like a bar with less comfortable chairs, but get the job done. The interior feels almost more like a restaurant, and there is a heated patio to site at. The only other critique I have os that the fries have always been just ok, nothing incredible.

We took my son to celebrate him turning 21. We have always enjoyed the food here. We got the breath enhancer and celestial burger and my wife got a burger without the bun. The breath enhancer has a really good garlic flavor to it. The garlic fries were not lacking in garlic flavor either, however, they could have been crispier. The celestial burger was also very tasty. I like that it includes the bacon. The onion rings were cooked well and tasted good, but some may be disappointed that there are only six served with the meal. As a point of feedback to better cater to those with a gluten allergy or preference, when the burger is ordered without a bun, it would be nice to optionally have a lettuce wrap. It would only require having a single head of butter lettuce on hand. Instead, it came out with pieces of green leaf and didn't make it so you could pick it up and eat it. As there are more and more people preferring the option, it would be a nice touch.

Food took awhile to come out, but it was a busy weekend with pride and a bees game across the street. Staff was friendly and helpful. Place was clean.
