Remember the old Ranch House on Concord Pike?
Hadn't been in years. I recall the food always tasted better late at night, after tastebuds have been obliterated by too much beer.
Well, the Ranch Hous is gone and it's been reincarnated as Lucky's Coffee Shop & Restaurant. The interior got a facelift - it needed one! - with cool red leather chairs and soft green booths, but it's not completely unrecognizable. Stopped by the other day and had a great chicken salad sandwich ($6.95) - all chunky white meat- and a surprisingly good crab cake sandwich $9.95 . (Lumps of crab meat, little filling.)
One of the owners is Mickey Donatello who also owns the nearby Corner Bistro.
I grabbed a booth for a recent lunch, but next time, I want a seat at the retro counter.
Still diner-esque menu - breakfast served all the time - but Lucky's also has a complete vegetarian menu with interesting offers like Asian dumpling soup and chilled japanese soba noodles with peanut sauce and eggplant rolantini. Small dishes and starters include pierogies and chicken satay.
Wow, at the Ranch House...uh, I mean, Lucky's.

Was there in early October. Real good and very crowded.
