Lucky’s Cheesesteaks
Lucky’s Cheesesteaks is a classic Cheesesteak & Sub shop on Charlottesville’s Historic Downtown Mall. Its signature dish, of course, is the Cheesesteak, but the menu also includes other regional favorites like Chicago Beef, Roast Pork, Italian Subs & Parms for dine-in or takeout.
Inside, the space has an edgy, urban feel that mixes well with a sound system whose playlist is recognized for its groove. Lucky’s Cheeseteaks is the latest production of UVA alum and restaurant entrepreneur Patrick McClure, who made numerous field trips to Philadelphia to learn what it takes to make the perfect cheesesteak. The result? Liscio’s Rolls. Cooper Sharp American Cheese, and of course Cheese Whiz. And ribeye steak, shaved thin and piled high, that, with grilled onions, may well convert you into an Eagles fan. Indeed, a Lucky Cheesesteak could be as good as a tush push!
We’ll say it again: Lucky’s Cheesesteaks serves the “Best Damn Cheesesteaks, Subs & Sandwiches” in town.
Whether you’re a night owl looking for great tunes & a cold beverage or interested in ordering takeout, this spot should be on your list.
With a full bar, the joint is wedged into a righteous bank of drinkeries on the Downtown Mall. Just a few examples include Whiskey Jar and sister bar, Brightside. Everything necessary to cool your heels after an intense meeting in the CODE building is right here.
