   Food was very good quality for the price. Wednesdays had a $3 discount per meal which was a nice surprise. The separate pastry shop, everything looked delicious but I found the frosting was too heavy and greasy.

   Haven't been to the Lucky Dill for months because food and service weren't very good. What a pleasant turnaround. They have upper their game considerably. We'll definitely return.

   Most expensive lunch meal I've ever had. Not worth it. Used to be good and affordable. $94 for two sandwiches and an appetizer is highway robbery. I could have gone to Burns instead.

   Was greeted nicely and shown to table. Attentive staff. Took drink order for 4. My wife and I had iced tea only. Took 15 minutes for drinks. Basket of breads was good but was 20 minutes before first waitress took orders. I had corned beef on I toasted rye. The heat lamp dried out the bread. They replaced top bread only but bottom slice was saturated in juices. While tasty it was messy and kinda gross. The rest of meal was good. We ordered a salad to go for relative that stayed home and that was ordered with all foods yet took more than 20 minutes to get that as well. So wife and I had no booze and two salads and a plain corned beef on rye, the bill was $75 plus tip which put the bill damned near at $100 for a sandwitand two salads! I’m old enough to know that’s outrageous. I doubt we’ll be back as this is just nuts to accept this level of food for that price! We could have had steak dinners for that! As 1:00 pm approached the place was very loud!

   Was exactly what we expected. NY style deli, had good soup and sandwiches. Pricier than we remembered but what isn’t? Service was efficient The women’s bathroom was utterly disgusting, filthy yet has a strong bleach smell.

   The food is great but it seemed like they did not have enough servers to go around. Our server was great and apologized for the delays. This used to be a really busy and fun place but now it feels drab and lifeless.

   Two hosts could not find our reservation. Thankfully they were able to accommodate our group of 8. Multiple items were not available on the menu. The waiter mixed up beverages and desserts. We visit Lucky Dill with friends every 6-9 months and sadly this was not a positive experience for our get together.

    Been going to lucky dill since 2009. Very disappointed I am thinking the original owners sold. I always order the Reuben. I ordered the half Reuben it came out cold, bread was toasted not grilled (makes a big difference) the Russian sauce was kind of runny and bland. My server was very nice and efficient but when he brought the condiments the deli mustard had old dried up mustard around the top on the outside so I twisted off the top and it had old mustard all around the top of inside of cap. I was very disappointed. The booths around my section where I sat the upholstery was torn. It just didn’t feel like Lucky Dill to me!
