Lucky’s Texas Red Hots

Lucky’s is known for Texas Hots but I usually went there for breakfast. They’re a family owned business for half a century and I love their breakfast which is homemade, good,
and cheap. Their home fries are excellent so I’m surprised no one else online seems to notice. I have visited the Clinton St. Buffalo location and especially the Transit Road at Clinton St. location in West Seneca before the building was destroyed by a flood and Lucky’s soon after took over the Sunnyside Grill location on the opposite side of the intersection. I like french fries with Texas sauce. Lucky’s sauce was the best in town for decades that I know about and very well may still be, it’s just that I haven’t been there in awhile. When I was in high school and you wanted to dip French fries in sauce, Lucky’s was the place to go.

If you like small, thin sausages inside you, maybe you should skip Ted’s Footlong and forego Dog E Style, and instead, maybe you can Get Lucky.
Lucky’s dogs are probably my least fave of the non-​chains in Buffalo. They’re similar to Louie’s but not as good, however Louie’s themselves are not all that amazing either. So that’s not saying much. Zorba’s and Abbott Hots are probably my fave of this type of dog. I’ll have to come back here at some point soon and try it again because it’s been awhile since I did, but when I did, I remember not even being able to finish it because it wasn’t very appealing.
However, it is your quintessential Buffalo dog place, and for tradition alone, and location (right across from the amazing Weichec’s bar, in Kaizertown), and the fact that it is family owned and cheap, it does score 3.
And if you want to «score a 3» as in inches (hey, it’s your life), then definitely come here, and Get Lucky at Lucky’s.
I dunno if you’ll even be able to feel this wiener in your throat though. It really is that thin.
