If you want a good steak, this is not the place to get it. I ordered a KC Strip. It was a tough gray tasteless piece of meat. Seasoning was non existent. It may have been acceptable at a lesser price, but for $18.00 I expect something edible.
Best place in Carthage to eat and good entertainment too.
My good friend of fine dining,
Dining at the Lucky J reminded me of a tricky blind-date.
Initially, we were unimpressed by the Lucky J's exterior, but then found the main dining area warm and welcoming. We also found the staff friendly.
The first sign of trouble was the fact that the Lucky J makes no accommodation for non-smokers. We then discovered that, for reasons never made clear, we would not be given a single waitress. Instead, two servers alternately visited our table, making for confused and spotty service.
The food was mediocre at best. Combined, our meals were typical of something you might find at a road-side cafe. For example, my wife's steak barely passed muster, my son's mashed potatoes were tasteless plaster, and my order was not properly filled. All this might be OK if one is paying cafe prices, but the Lucky J demands relatively high prices. If you are looking for fine food, or good value, you might want to dine elsewhere.
