Its a drive through but don't miss out on the deep fried Zucchini. Top tier. I try to hit them up anytime I'm in the area

Tried Lucky Greek today and got a sausage breakfast burrito with eggs and potatoes and it was well worth it. Not only was it the tastiest breakfast burrito I ever had but it was also the biggest. The combination of flavor is very satisfying. I plan to go back to try other dishes on the menu. The restaurant has a great family vibe to it and the staff is friendly. Highly recommend.

Greetings Earthlings, Our Sunday routine after church is to try out new restaurants. We were invited to give Lucky Greek in Riverside a try. The establishment is well kept both inside and outside. We were greeted warmly by the person behind the counter. My husband placed the order and we sat down. The wait time was not long at all. Our food was brought out to us and it was delicious. The pancakes melted in my mouth. The Philly cheese sandwich was steaming til the last bite. You absolutely must try the fried zucchini and fried mushrooms. They are a hit!! Trust me, you will enjoy great food at a reasonable prices.
