   Southern Cooking with an uplifting flavor profile Appetizer Fried Green Tomatoes. This is generally not my favorite dish, but the waiter recommended it as one of the staples. Every slice of tomato was perfectly crisp with a consistent golden color and crunch exterior with a tender, tangy interior. The bold flavors that topped the tomatoes between the spice of the Voodoo Sauce, the creamy richness of the blue cheese dressing, and the smoky crunch of bacon, this was a perfect blend, creating a remarkable rendition of a classic that even I loved. Entrees Braised Beef & Egg Sandwich. The main ingredient of the dish – braised beef – truly melted in your mouth, coupled with the creamy texture and flavor of the Havarti cheese, creating the perfect base for this complex dish. The light and fluffy scrambled eggs, coupled with the baby arugula, brought a creamy, peppery freshness that truly balanced the richness of the beef and cheese. This sandwich was placed between two slices of toasted challah bread bun, which provided a sweetness that complemented the overall savory aspects of the dish. Bacon Wrapped Meatloaf. Comfort food at its finest. The meatloaf was juicy and full of flavor, wrapped in the crispy, smoky bacon, creating a nice crunch with every bite you took. The rich gravy poured over the meatloaf was a spark of deliciousness, paired with onions to add a touch of sweetness to the dish. The flavors were well-balanced and really raised the bar for a classic meatloaf. Nestled in a bed of mashed potatoes and a side of shaved brussel sprouts brought in all the necessary components to provide perfect harmony in the entire dish. Overall If you are in need of comfort food and don’t want the same ole dishes, you need to take a chance and go to Lucky 32, which really raises the bar and the expectations of a true take on classic southern cuisine.

   We hadn't been to Lucky 32 in a year or so but it has been one of our favorites in the Triangle. We weren't disappointed! We had smoked trout appetizer, delicious but huge portion. We both had salmon entrees, one on salad, one with grits and green beans. Both were excellent as was the bread Erin brought before the meal. Service was excellent and the restaurant was lively and pretty full. Great bar where I can stand up after sitting in the truck for hours. Prices moderate. We love Lucky 32. Highly Recommended!

   Another great dining experience. Everyone enjoyed their meal, especially the grilled salmon and grits and no one prepares better collard greens than these guys. Lucky 32 continues to be one of the best restaurants in the Raleigh-Cary area. Excellent service, very engaging and well dressed staff, our waiter Danny was very attentive and did a great job again.

   Our server was attentive and amazing, the food was delicious, and our special request to have drinks and appetizers upon our arrival due to a tight schedule was fantastic. L32 went above and beyond for amazing customer service. I was super pleased. The good is always delicious. This is one of my favorite restaurants.

   Lucky 32 is our go to lunch place when we visit our 97 year old friend in Cary. Food is always top notch and varies seasonally. Today was noisier than usual so next time we may ask for table with a little more less noise, if one exists.

    Loved the salmon, catfish and bean cakes. Service by Jesus was outstanding and the overall meal was a great value. We look forward to our return.
