\"20170218_120457\"I love the big, open, garage-like space at Lucky’s 1313 Brew Pub<\/a>, a true homage to the former Foreign Car Specialists. However, other than grabbing a snack before or after a game at Camp Randall or the Kohl Center, there’s nothing on the menu that would bring me back otherwise.<\/p>\n

I feel bad for saying that, since I do like Kipp Thomas, who serves as executive chef. Take for example the ultimate grilled cheese ($9.75). It’s good in concept, with buttery Texas toast, avocado and bacon, but the cheese was only partially melted, and there was so little of it that I don’t think all four slices of cheese were included.<\/p>\n

For Friday fish fry, you may choose among cod, walleye, perch and catfish. The thin walleye ($14.50) didn’t have much meat to it, and it was dry and bland–you really need some salt and tartar sauce to get through it.\u00a0I did like the accompanying creamy coleslaw, which has a slight bite from the red peppers.<\/p>\n

Don’t get the tater tots as your side. You know how Ore-Ida tater tots taste when they have been under-baked? That’s what Lucky’s tater tots taste like, and they were served this way in two different visits.<\/p>\n

\"20170210_115757\"The Dayne #33 ($11.25) is quite messy. The bountiful pulled pork–which wasn’t tender–is topped with big strips of bacon and crunchy coleslaw inside a thick pretzel bun. At least all the flavors worked well together.<\/p>\n

Other menu items include Kaminsky’s Frank (a Chicago hot dog, $9.25), pizzas\/flatbread and tropical coconut grilled chicken ($14.50).<\/p>\n

Lucky’s also brews its own beers, including a Madtown Hops IPA and 5th Porter. I really enjoyed the Regent Street wheat. It had a good aroma, the flavor of the wheat comes through and it’s a beer that pairs well with anything.<\/p>\n

Lucky’s 1313 Brew Pub is open every day for lunch and dinner. You can enter the parking lot from either Regent Street or Bowen Court.<\/p>\n
