Lucky 8

My friend had been waiting to bring me to Lucky 8– I’m from the New Orleans area and have been wanting a real Cajun or creole restaurant in Sarasota for years. They didn’t tell me it was NOLA food and I didn’t look it up for once before we met up at this spot— I was pleasantly surprised from the …

Austin was very accommodating and helpful with my husband and I being new to this place. Austin explained the menue and what the place was all about. Had a great time and the food was awesome too!! Mini smash burger ✌🏻

Lucky 8 in Sarasota was a delightful surprise. The shakshouka had us in absolute bliss — rich, flavorful, and perfectly done. The service was attentive and genuinely welcoming. Paired with the beautiful decor and warm, inviting lamps, the ambiance was wonderful. Definitely a spot worth visiting.

What a fun place and the food was great. The New Orleans vibe is wonderful here and it feels like a place that would fit right in the downtown of NOLA. The sandwiches were great with lots of flavor, the fries were typical of that area of the country, not crispy but good flavor and hearty.

As an avid burger fan, when my buddies said this was a must try, I immediately got excited. It definitely lived up to the hype. A top notch smash burger in a dive bar setting. You can’t beat it. I recommend it and I will definitely be back
