   Our waitress was not very organized We ate 7 pm There were 4 other tables with people in the other area place was slow! Waitress forgot to ask what type beer, had to come back Then she served everyone's entree except my husband, he had to wait another 7-9 minutes After she cleared the table she didn't come back to mention dessert or coffee We dine there very often so was surprised that on an unusually quiet night service was sub par Trust if place was busy this would be okay

   What a mess. No one seemed to know what they were doing. Three people at the host station and took three minutes before someone looked up and acknowledged me standing there. Had a reservation and even though the restaurant was half empty they sat us right next to the kitchen which was not a pleasant sight. Food on the floor. Servers getting reprimanded by managers. Our waitress took dreadfully long to come back to our table once our party was all there. She forgot my drink order and tried to tell me I never gave her a drink order. We all ordered drinks to toast my birthday! The food was meh. Apparently they don’t have tartar sauce and weren’t capable of making it. Long story long. This place has seen better days. Won’t go back.

   What a fun lunch! We just love coming to Lucky 32! Today we were with a group of 7. Service was perfect. Restaurant is beautiful. And the food was fabulous. We enjoyed the soft shell crab sandwich. Fresh fab crab and the fresh cut fries were crispy and delicious. The shrimp & grits were just perfect. The sausage gave it such great flavor. The fried green tomato eggs Benedict couldn’t have been better. It just melted in your mouth. And the last dish our table enjoyed was the French toast-filled with strawberries and bananas and topped with hot fudge and 4 big slices of bacon. There are so many incredible dishes on the menu! If you enjoy a beautiful atmosphere and excellent food, this is your place! Lots of great outside seating available too!

   I had the pleasure of dining at Lucky 32 Southern Kitchen in Cary, and overall, the experience was excellent! The food was flavorful, well-prepared, and served in large portions, making it well worth the price. Our meal included the pork chop, meatloaf, fried rice, skillet-fried chicken, and the BBQ Cheerwine chicken—each dish had a distinct and satisfying Southern touch. The meatloaf was hearty, the BBQ Cheerwine chicken carried a great balance of sweet and smoky flavors, and the skillet-fried chicken had that perfect crispy texture. Everything came out fresh and hot, which elevated the experience. Service was friendly and efficient, adding to the warm atmosphere of the restaurant. Definitely a great choice for those craving Southern-style cuisine.

   My chicken sandwich was mostly breading. My son got the salmon cakes and it tasted like old salmon. It came with rice that was completely dry and inedible. Was here a year ago when we first moved to the area and it was really great. Polar opposite this time.

    Nice restaurant. Asked for a quiet location. Not really quiet based on the servers’ loud discussions with the table next to us. Food was good though the salmon cakes were too done and dry.
