The menu is small, but what you'll find is pretty delicious. The small plates include crispy and golden skin-on house fries with lucky spice, dill salt and cheese, the loaded rostis with bacon, chipotle mayo, gherkin and fresh herbs, and blue maize tortilla with chipotle cheese sauce. Yum!
Bigger plates, suitable for sharing, include the twist on a street food classic with elote corn ribs drenched in chipotle mayo with cashew parmesan and a wedge of lime, crispy oyster mushrooms in batter with a house caesar dressing and fresh lemon, and local cauliflower with hot buffalo sauce.
Then there are the burgers, all served on a high-quality vegan brioche bun with crisp skin-on fries. The classic lucky cheeseburger is made with a protein patty served with ranch, iceberg lettuce, pickled red cabbage, gherkins and Buckfast sauce. There's also a bacon royale and crispy oyster option, along with the lucky ch*cken and brunch burger. The SXSW burger is crafted from a house patty topped with BBQ brisket, smoked cheese, Buckfast BBQ and an onion ring, served with a fresh, crisp burger salad.
