“ So, I grew up in Tucson in the 70's. Whenever we took field trips, the school provided Lucky Wishbone Chicken for our lunch. We all got the steak fingers box. So on our visit, I was surprised to see that it was still there! And other locations as well. We went to the original one. The staff were very nice and helpful. The food was hot and yummy. Made me feel very nostalgic. ”
“ We got a family feast sampler with shrimp chicken strips and steak fingers (we did switch the coleslaw for onion rings), two orders of wild fries (one without the hot sauce so basically just ranch). We also got a large root beer and an extra order bread. ”
“ I ordered a double cheeseburger. Which was really good better than McDonald's for less money. I really enjoyed the french fries that were unsalted but not bland and very crispy. Definitely recommend and will be coming back for some more burgers and fries in the future. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The music was slightly loud but not overly so. ”
“ These stores are Icons of Tucson. Been around forever and they do one thing, sell fried food. If you like chicken livers, look no further, this is the place to go. I think their fries are probably the best around and they make damn good fried chicken as well! ”
“ Food/Taste/Flavor: 5/5 - absolutely delicious food for the mains but the sides were not that impressive POP (8 piece) Gizzard with Onion Rings, Garlic Toast, and 2 sauces. The gizzards were fried well but didn’t have much flavor other than the batter. The onion rings were nicely fried but not much flavor either so needed ketchup or sauce to help it along. The garlic toast was very oily/greasy especially as you get closer to the center. The lucky wishbone sauce tasted of cocktail sauce with some more horseradish 7 piece Dark Special with a mix of legs and thighs. The fry on these chicken was amazing with such a crunch on the outside but the inside was deliciously moist. The batter is on the saltier side but still so good Ambience: 4/5 - older restaurant that smelled slightly of disinfectant and not at all of the food. Pictures that showed its history and lots of sport posters. The windows are slight scratched and some tiles had holes. The tables and chairs were clean but it felt a bit dusty overall Service: 5/5 - friendly but couldn’t give much details or recommendations for the menu. About 15 minute wait for our food Value for price: 5/5 - delicious food overall but the pricing is a bit odd… for example, it would have been cheaper to get a Jr Gizzard with 4 a la carte pieces (7 + 3.8 = 10.8) rather than the POP Gizzard (11.50) ”
