"Friendly local lunch counters still exist. This small indoor/outdoor neighborhood favorite offers an assortment of sandwiches, specials, and the unusual root beer of the month. The entire space has about 30 seats and has a mid-morning two-hour rush, but after that, you'll see the space empty and waiting for you. Enjoy their Reuben or build your own breakfast burrito if you get hungry early." - Fifty & Fifty

"Open seven days a week for breakfast and lunch, this place offers up a selection of satisfying handhelds. The menu includes overstuffed sandwiches stuffed with pastrami, corned beef or tuna salad, soups and salads among some of the choices. Don’t overlook the specialty sandwiches like the Midwest crispy pork tenderloin served on a buttered bun." - Darlene Horn

Solid. Come hungry because Lucky's packs it into your order. The omlette with bacon, cheese, potatoes, onions, sour cream, a faucet and some plumbing will have you walking away satisfied. The pancake is heavy and filling if you're into that. Tasty!

We drove downtown to go to a 1pm Padres game at Petco Park and we were about an hour early. I didn't really want to go inside the park to pay 400% markups on beer and hot dogs and there are plenty of restaurants in downtown so we went to one of the closest ones: Lucky's. It was amazing to me there were a couple of empty tables outside, completely shaded. We grabbed one and went to the counter to order. There is no server or host. You order at the counter and they'll give you a number for your table when the food comes. We ordered a couple of beers (two Salty Crew Blonde Ales - which were great), the big 1/2lb cheeseburger ($16.75), a french dip (also $16.75) and a Coke ($5). Total was $54 before tax/tip. $54 won't go very far in the ballpark, so coming here was a great idea. The burger was massive (1/2lb!) and the french dip included the au jus. Both were very good. Fries were tasty too. They even brought the food out to us in to-go containers, which was very handy! Overall this place gets a thumbs up and we may stop in here again for future games.

Hands down the best breakfast burrito! The bases loaded burrito name says it all!! This place was recommended to me by my brother and it did not disappoint. It’s a big burrito, so if you’d like to share half of it, you can and it will fill you up. I will definitely return. I also liked that it is super close to the petco stadium, just feet away. That’s a plus !

Like a gameday bar but they serve food. Quick and no-nonsense diner for burgers or breakfast. Order at the counter and go or grab a seat at the counter. $20 for 3 item Omlette and coffee.

Cute concept and decent sized portions at Lucky’s in East Village. There is no table service unless you count the dropping off of food you order up front prior to sitting down. I was excited to try the Jalapeño Patty Melt because I love jalapeños and I’m somewhat of a Patty Melt connoisseur. I was left disappointed by the sheer lack of jalapeños on the burger. I wish I would have taken pictures with the bread off to show how few peppers there were. There was one piece on one half and three small strips on the other. Plenty of onions though. The burger was decent sized and cooked well with a nice healthy serving of fries. My partner got the Griddle Combo and said it was decent. The pancakes were large and served with butter. The scrambled eggs were pretty basic but hot sauce helped. Sodas were four dollars which is just highway robbery and upped our bill unnecessarily. Unless your super thirsty I’d say just get some water to save yourself ten bucks. Bottom line is decent food at a no frills diner but don’t expect to be blown away.

Ordered a bagel egg sandwich and extra hash browns online, stopped in to pick it up, everything was ready on time. If you want midday breakfast, food, this is the place for you. Took my order back to my hotel room and loved every bite. I'll definitely be back the next time I'm in the area.

The Breakfast burrito tastes mostly eggs, few sausage, vegetables and cheese. So it can hardly be called a burrito. Plus, it was 17bucks, which wasn’t acceptable. I don’t understand why it has such high ratings.

A charming establishment conveniently located a mere block from the stadium offers good food at reasonable prices, distinguishing itself from many other establishments in the vicinity.
