LUCKY Courtenay Place — Restaurant in North Island

Went there for a quick feed after being in town doing a couple things. Originally ordered a single bomber but later upgraded to have halloumi added. Only once I get the burger they put 3 pathetic little bits of chicken, no thigh as its meant to be with fried halloumi. Wasn’t even worth putting the chicken in as you could not taste it- meant to be the bulk of it incase the employees need reminding. Very disappointing that I paid extra and only got half. Only good thing which has always been consistent, the gravy and fries are amazing! Will not recommend to any of my friends in the Future which I previously have done all the time. This place use to be a awesome spot for a quick feed, guess the owners don’t care about quality anymore and just hire whoever they can with no customer experience nor cooking and would like to be able to rip people off. Luckily I was sober and noticed, this probably happens all too often with it being an establishment open when the clubs are closing, so wouldn’t be surprising if they mug more people off. Be careful and ensure it you go, you get...

Got the Jackpot Burger - Chicken and Halloumi. Unfortunately was less than average. Not sure if I got a one off average burger, but based on what we got, not planning on going back. Chicken dry, bun dry and average texture, halloumi so-so. Slaw was good but not a lot of that. Spicy sauce was ok, but the ratio of honey in it wasn't great and meant that there was weird pockets of the liquid syrup just sitting there instead of it having a light glaze through the burger (would maybe have worked at the slaw level). Fried chicken coating was decent so can understand why they do the poppers. Quite a bit of sauce, but when its not that great to begin with, thats nothing to be impressed with. Will maybe give another a go in a couple of years, but when a Big Mac (which i never eat anymore) can give you a run for your money, then its a bit of a shame.. was at the Willis st Pop up, so perhaps that made a...

Got myself a Single Bomber Burger and a small Poppers.

Bomber burger was just okay. I think the thigh fillet had been sitting out for a little while before being put on the burger. Most of the other elements were at a satisfactory level. The sauce though, DAMN. So so good.

The Poppers on the other hand were made to order and you could taste the difference. Delicious, juicy pieces of chicken topped with that delicious sauce and pickles. Pickles didn’t move the needle for me. If they were store bought, I’d change stores or better yet make in house.

The location we went to was a bid randomly placed in the middle of a square with no seating to eat the food (only public bench...
