San Diego Eagle

Simple breakfast at a great price. Lucky does it all himself. Takes your order, cooks it for you and then serves it.

If you want a mango infused chutney, mimosa craft brewed table tennis $20 bunch, please move on. We don’t want you. Please don’t ruin a perfect greasy spoon.

Lucky`s is a must eat, the reviews tell it all! Mr. Lucky was great everything was great!

Lucky provides excellent service and great humor!! He makes a terrific omelette. Coffee was great and he even refilled. Look forward to coming back.

Amazing place the older men spoke to us like family, cracking jokes and making it feel comfortable. Asking questions to get to know us as we eat, overall making our first time such a great experience.

Amazing food dished out by a local legend! Lucky has great jokes and a better attitude. Take your time with this place, it’s just him running the show but occasionally with some help! Great portions for the price. CASH ONLY!

Lovely greasy spoon. Coffee was perfect, bacon was crispy and the owner is charming. I’ll be back!

Luckys is no nonsense breakfast. It’s exactly what you need and nothing more. This place feels like it’s a Time Capsule, very clean and the owner does everything himself. Super cute north park gem that I hope sticks around long past lucky himself

Moving to San Diego 13 years ago was one of the best things I could have done. But as a New Yorker, I missed eating the way I would back home. I love the simplicity of the menu, speed at which it is cooked and the man himself. Mr. Lucky. You come here because the menu is only one page and is straight to the point. Remember to have cash. No cards accepted, and enjoy.

It's like having breakfast at your grandpa's house. Lucky interacts with you as if you were family, and he takes and cooks the order for you. The food tastes great and the prices are low, so make sure you tip him well!

An old man (named Lucky?) will make you one of four simple American breakfasts for under 10$. Cash only. He runs the whole diner by himself so it might be slow when there's lots of people. It's a good breakfast though.

Inexpensive and chock full of character. Counter seating only. It has charm, quirkiness, and plenty of breakfast options. It's not the best breakfast you'll ever eat, but the totality of the experience and low prices make it worthwhile.

Loved it. Nice, cheap, authentic little place. Old man gave us a whole bunch of gear too, a bottle opener, a calendar, free fortune cookies and an Italian almond chocolate cookie.

Such an amazing local breakfast restaurant. Truly a family atmosphere and Lucky is one of the nicest and most generous people in North Park!!! Definitely highly recommend this restaurant!!! Great owner, amazing food, awesome service and it's all about family!!! Thank you, as always, Lucky!!!

Perfect spot for a good breakfast and coffee, and the prices can't be beat. Lucky and his wife are warm and welcoming. This was our first visit, and they made us feel like a part of the family. Even the other guests were part of this sort of community experience. When we walked in, one nice man scooted down a seat so my girlfriend and I could sit next to each other. Service is at a very relaxed pace, which is actually nice in this context, as you can tell that Lucky and his wife really care about and enjoy what they do for the neighborhood. We'll definitely be back again and again.

Lucky was a true gem in the North Park community ❤️ He is so missed! It was always such a highlight of my week getting to have breakfast at Lucky’s ❤️

Long overdue review. Rest in peace Lucky! Good guy who ran a solid breakfast joint. I loved it here since I never had a grandpa and he filled that void whenever I went. Chill guy who offered me additional food without cost to not just me but other patrons. He’d say “you want more hash browns?” And I’d say “yes” and he’d give me additional hash browns free of charge, sausage and bacon too! Although sometimes I’d order a meal and he’d get me scrambled instead of over easy I never complained because it was delicious anyway! Rest in peace!

RIP. Was always an amazing experience treated every single customer like they were family. One of my favorite things is when he would Ask you want more toast? Sometimes even if you said no, he’d give you the toast. Then he would say that OK I eat toast for you. Such and amazing person. Gonna miss you Lucky.

Ordered the breakfast burrito with avocado, mushrooms and chicken sausage. The buritto comes with eggs and hash browns in a large flour tortilla. It was very good even with it having to last through the end of my run, me cleaning up and driving to work. Was not the best I've ever had but I would definitely give it another shot when it won't have to wait so long to be eaten.

Lucky is awesome! One man show! It takes a while to get service, and you have to be patient. I will say I was getting a little impatient, but Lucky knows who came in when...somehow. I then wasn't feeling like I needed to rush, Lucky is so calm and makes you appreciate the vibe. I would say this place is not for everyone, but the food was excellent and cheap!!!
