Lucas Coney Island

I wanted to like this place. South Lyon doesn’t have a lot of really good, leave your house to eat there kind of restaurants. Went there with my kids and I actually think the food came out too quick (bizarre and unnatural complaint). I ordered a tuna melt and sweet potato fries, kids ordered chicken tenders and fries. Nothing tasted like it was thoroughly heated through. I wasn’t satisfied. Nothing really special.

Delicious Greek salad with gyro meat. Very moist gyro. My daughter had the patty melt & I ordered a Reuben to go. Great place!

I’ve been coming here and enjoying the food for years. Food is good and the staff is always nice.

Food is always good. Service is exceptional. Today Ilona took my order and she is so kind. I’ll be back.

Good food And nice staff! The wait staff is great always on top of refills and checking to make sure everything is okay. My favorite is the philly works!

Good food. Great service! Love the fact that there is a drive thru. Everyone is always friendly. I work in the area. and we pick up for lunch often. Their milk shakes are the best

Best coney place I have found in S.E. Michigan. First, owner (Tom) is experienced and holds food and staff at higher standards than most coney joints. This coney actually doesn’t burn their eggs on omelets. Cooks care about what they plate, not just wham bam thank you ma’am attitude. Quality & cleanliness shows at every turn. Thanks for the great food and service!

First, let me say, I’m not much of a coney island fan. To me, they’re all the same with the same, mediocre food. But, as coneys go, and in South Lyon there are three, not counting one in nearby New Hudson, this one is our favorite. One reason is that it is pretty clean which matters a lot to me. Also, their breakfasts are good and that’s what we usually go for. I typically get their French toast, which I rate pretty high on the French toast scale, and I really appreciate that they are happy to bring me warm syrup. I haven’t had too many of their other menu items, but I did have their fried cod dinner once and it was very tasty. The dishes I’ve seen other people order looks pretty darn good, too. The staff is always friendly and remembered us after our first visit or two. Oh, and another nice touch is their drive-​thru window where you can pick up your carryout order.

Good food, good for kids, good prices. They serve breakfast, lunch and dinner. Closes early on Sunday’s. It is generally busy on the weekend but tables turn quick.

This is a good coney– diner. My Mom and her BF like to eat at this place so my Wife and I have been here a half dozen times in the last year or two.
The salads here are huge. I’m a big guy and I need to remember to order a med salad next time because the large was way too much food.
The pink greek dressing is really good.
I have also had the meatlaof and a few other items, all pretty good. I prefer tomato gravy on meatloaf but I suspect I’m in the minority so minor gripe that theirs is beef gravy.
I’m sure we will be back soon.

Lucas is a bit of a greasy spoon, so don’t expect a world class dining experience, but the food is consistently good, the staff is friendly, and the restaurant is always clean. As far as Coneys go, this is one of my favorites in the area.

Only giving a two star because the food is good.
We order carryout from here quite often and after our experience today, we will not be going back. I ordered an item that has always come with fries (without being asked), but they were missing from our meal. When I called to inquire about the missing fries, I was rudely told that it isn’t supposed to come with it when I explained they always have when I’ve ordered in the past. Instead of handling it professionally and offering a way to resolve the reason I called, he continued to argue his point. I would have gladly paid and obviously wanted the fries or I wouldn’t have called. When I asked for a manager due to the attitude on their end of the phone, I was shocked to discover it was the owner speaking so rudely to customers. With 3 coney islands in town, I will happily take my business elsewhere if that is the way the OWNER is going to treat paying customers. I will also be sure to pass along our experience to all of our friends, family, and our contacts that work with the city of South Lyon.
Edited to add: after posting my review, the owner’s oldest son (whom I had the confrontation with) further proved the point that customer service is not his strong suit by sending me a nasty private message. Very unprofessional.

There are plenty of Coney Islands to choose from in this small town. This is my favorite. They have good service and food. Again it’s a Coney Island so don’t set your expectations to high. They have a large menu and serve breakfast all day. My favorite thing about this place is that they have a drive through! Makes picking up dinner on a lazy night so easy.
The Reuben sandwiches are one of our go to meals. They have good Salads and Chicken. The Spinach Pie is not the best I’ve had and I think they use frozen Spinach wish is disappointing, but it is good and I do order it. The Fish and Chips are good but by the time you get it home it’s always soggy :(. Most of the meals come with a vegetable which is a nice bonus except that they’re just canned veggies. I wish they would use more fresh ingredients. There red sauce I usually like to order when I go to a Coney for the Rice Pilaf or Spinach Pie always has a metallic taste to it so I no longer order it. I’m assuming it it’s also from a can. If you’re in the mood for dessert the rice pudding is great.

Visited for breakfast on a monday. The interior is very nice, but the seats could use some new cushions. Food was alright but nothing exciting. It took some time for our waitress to warm up. Overall nothing extremely negative or positive. Just another coney island.

I go here a lot. The food and service is very good. And If you like Corned Beef sandwiches, this place will surprise you. They stack it very thick and the meat is quite tasty., something you wouldn’t expect from a family coney.

I usually head to Southfield or W. Bloomfield for deli food but it’s quite a hike from the South Lyon area. So after putting it off for over a year, I decided to try this place for the first time yesterday and found it pretty amazing. My wife ordered fried fish which arrived tasty and NOT over-​cooked or dry at all. I ordered their Reuben sandwich and a Greek salad and both were delicious. The service was top-​notch the salads are fresh-​there simply were no disappointments. Of course I will return and, if necessary, revise this review but it’s as 5-​star for now.
Still A+ and our «go-​to» South Lyon restaurant as of 4/​13/​2015-​Good consistent food and service.

Luca’s is always a hit or miss with everything except the coney sauce (which i always give that 5 stars)… Often i will run into town & just grab the coney sauce to go for hotdogs at home… but today i also picked up the greek pink dressing & it was such a hit the dressing was AMAZINGLY tasty! Today was a win, let’s keep it going!

Since moving to South Lyon 2 years ago, I’ve tried all the coney islands in town, and this is by far the best!
The service is fast and friendly with a small town feel.
Some of my favorites…
Chicken Melt: grilled nicely with plenty of cheese and sautéed onions
Cheeseburger: I was not expecting to like this as much as I did. A simple burger that is well seasoned with all the right toppings.
Chicken Gyro: can’t beat that tasty cucumber sauce!
Grilled Cheese: If there’s bread, cheese, and butter involved, it has to be good.
I’m not big on traditional breakfast foods, but I can say that the coffee is perfect diner joe, and my husband loves the French toast!
This place is always packed on Sunday mornings, so sneak out of church 5 minutes early to avoid the line! Well, maybe not. But know that even if a wait does form, it’s generally very short

Hey, it’s a coney island, so don’t expect anything gourmet. But it’s consistently decent. The servers are pleasant and attentive. The place is roomy and clean. The bathrooms are OK. There are a few TV screens showing the news, but with the sound very low or off.
Salads here are based on head lettuce and bland (refrigerated) tomatoes. The ranch dressing (very good!) saves it. The fries are super-​crispy, better than the onion rings, even. You get a generous portion of either fries or rings. The ketchup isn’t thick enough for my liking, so I switched to the ranch. They have green tea, but it’s from Lipton.
I have eaten here a few times. We have had the chicken and rice soup when we weren’t particularly hungry. Warm and filling. My friend really liked her chicken salad sandwich. The sandwiches seem like a safer bet at this place. One time, the fried chicken strips on the top of my salad were dry, but the ranch dressing saved it. Hey, it seems like everything I eat here is «saved» by ranch. It really is very good. I’ll have to find out if it’s home made.
The «Hani Special» is like a fried-​chicken gyros. You get a lot of chicken, though I think wider strips would stay in the sandwich better.
The quantity of food you get is a good value for the price. You could get away with splitting soup and an entrée between two people, if you are not huge eaters.

If you are near South Lyon and looking to eat at a coney island this is the place to go. They have great food, good service, and it’s reasonably priced. My favorite is the Hani special, which is the standard chicken finger pita and it automatically comes with delicious ranch, mmmmm, I’m getting hungry just thinking about it! Oh and their fries are amazing! A sure go-​to
