Reviews for The Lucky Well - Ambler in Ambler, PA
We visited the Lucky Well to celebrate my brother’s birthday. He has been there a bunch of times and loves the bbq wings... here. We had a reservation and there was no wait time. We were taken to a back room and seated. I liked the decor and thelayout of the restaurant. The ambiance was good but I feel like it was a little dark in the restaurant. I ordered a drink toget started. I asked the waitress for a recommendation since I like Heineken but they didn’t have it on the menu. Sherecommended a couple beers and I tried the Sterling Pig which was good. I ordered The Sandwich with bbq pulled pork and a sideof baked beans. My wife ordered the same, my one brother ordered the pulled chicken sandwich. My brother whose birthday it wasordered the wings (he loves the wings here). My sister in law ordered the bbq bowl. Overall I thought the sandwich was good. Iwish it was a little bigger. The bread was soft and bbq sauce was tangy. Overall really good. The baked beans had some pulledpork in them. I will say the baked beans had some heat to them. I’m not sure if they are using jalapeños in the baked beansbut it would have been good to know on the menu. I can’t eat a lot of spicy food due to a medical condition. Luckily, Inoticed quickly and I stopped eating them. I gave the beans to my brother to take home as leftovers. Everyone seemed to enjoytheir dinner. The recommendations I have are to make it a little brighter in the restaurant. It might also be good to indicateif a dish is spicy to help patrons navigate the menu. Read more
My girlfriend and I have been meaning to try The Lucky Well for some time. Head Chef Chad Rosenthal recently Beat Bobby Flay on... the Food Network show with the same name so there has been much local buzz about this place. Although it has been a staple onBulter Ave in Ambler for white some time, it is certainly harder to get in than it used to be. With that said, I was pleasantlysurprised to see the continued local vibes that exist here. We stopped in during restaurant week and they offered a fixed pricemenu fro $39 that offered generous portions of menu items and few seasonal specials. To start, you could either pick a CucumberGazpacho or Corn and Tomato Salad (unfortunately, I did not grab photos of these) but they were both really good. The Gazpachowas unique but the tomato salad was better. We also got an order of their fried green tomatoes. The main course is a selectionof their barbecue (we got a mix) and served with a huge piece of cornbread and a side (we all got Mac and cheese or collardgreens). This is where the problems started however, because we were served four meals for a different table. Chad came overhimself and told us to take a few things off these plates while they remade our food and was very apologetic. That said, ourorder was still not entirely correct when it comeback but it was nice for them to accommodate us. They also gave us a free roundof drinks to compensate. The barbecue was perfect though, I don't know that I have had better pulled pork or bbq wings inPennsylvania. They were out of the restaurant week desserts so we got Watermelon and Pineapple gelato and a huge piece of peanutbutter pie (that was likewise amazing). I am going to give them the benefit of the doubt that it was the Saturday of arestaurant week and they were just overwhelmed. But I can't give them 5 stars after the issues and shear amount of time spent atthe restaurant. The food definitely gets the highest marks though. Definitely stop here if you are cr Read more

I always have a great experience when I visit The Lucky Well. The food is well seasoned, the staff is always friendly. The... restaurant has a great look and is really clean. Read more
The place is very neat. It’s very spread out and such a friendly environment. The food was good, but a little pricey for what... it was. We would still come again. As we were leaving they had live music which was a nice bonus. We got the special chicken andthe jambalaya . Great experience again the prices were just high for the food. Read more
Any review less than 5 stars doesn’t know what they are talking about. This is hands down the best meal I’ve had in a long... time. I lived in Arkansas for several years and had my fair share of authentic bbq through Texas, Kansas, etc…the lucky wellcould go toe to toe. The smoked wings and ribs melt in your mouth. Warm corn bread with homemade honey butter. The friedtomatoes!!! Everything from the atmosphere, to the live band, the incredible service (who have those machines that allow you topay at the table), I am smitten. This will be a go to. Get your date night plans together! Read more

Not pictured... here are the appetizers, I had the shrimp and Hubby had the stuffed publano with sausage and rice. Amazing!!!!! The staff wasadorable very accommodating and fast.
