Shrimp and grits: Elliott Muñoz
Luck opened in Trinity Groves last October and quickly gained popularity because of its 40 taps flowing only with local craft beer. Also on tap are a red and white wine, a rotating selection of kombucha, and Noble Coyote coffee from East Dallas.
Luck is a “craft beer-inspired kitchen,” so anything you order pairs well with brew.
The kitchen has its own smoker that turns out fire and smoke wings ($9) and pastrami that is moist and fatty and served on sourdough with caramelized onions, Swiss cheese and mustard ($12).
“We like to call our food ‘regional comfort food,’” says assistant manager Susie Olson.
That’s apparent in dishes such as the appetizer bierocks, which are meat and cheese-filled pastry pockets that come with beer cheese fondue and jus ($10). The menu also features pork schnitzel ($16), hot Brown ($12), shrimp and grits ($16) and pot roast ($16). But it’s not all heavy, cheesy stuff. The blueberry and raw butternut squash salad ($9) tastes amazing with citrus-honey vinaigrette, candied pecans and goat cheese.
