Lucky Fox (est 2014) is a Diner based on Division St, Sheffield City Centre, famous for it's fried chicken - making their own batter and frying to order! They also serve some tasty sides and craft beer to wash it all down with. Be prepared for a messy one!
We went to Lucky Fox for a pre-Tramlines Festival lunch on a Friday and the place (holds about 18-20 people with outside seating if weather isn't playing up!) was already full, but staff were on hand to let us know that a table was soon becoming available and we could take a seat on a bench just outside the door, so we weren't waiting too long. The diner is quite a casual, hipster-style venue and I hear that the chicken is freshly battered and fried to order so already an initial thumbs up from me.
The menu consists of a variety of burgers or chicken "meals" such as: Fat Elvis Burger - "Our Famous Fried Chicken, topped with Cheddar, Slaw, Smoked Bacon, stuffed with our house cut fries, and served on a soft bun. A dirty burger.", Luckybox - "A large portion of fries, two of our wings, three chicken tenders, a side of our housemade gravy, plus hot sauce and BBQ sauce for dipping!", The O.G Club - "Our famous fried chicken sando with bacon, cheddar, lettuce and tomato on a potato bun. Served with a handful of fries." and more... including sides of wings.
Our choices were;
Lucky Chick Burger - fried chicken served with lettuce, pickles and hot mayo on a potato bun. Served with a handful of fries. - This was one big burger and big portion of fries. Wasn't sure what a potato bun was, pretty much a soft bread bun. The chicken was big and juicy and the batter was really tasty and unique, very flavoursome with a lot of thyme coming through. It was a little dry in parts and my only regret is not asking for dipping sauce. The burger was really good and a bit messy but aren't all good burgers? Fries were crisp and lovely.
Chick 'n' Fries - Famous fried chicken and fries with a sauce of choice. - A simple but classic and very filling meal. Again the chicken was cooked well in their homemade batter/coating. There was lots on the plate so another very filling meal. We chose hot sauce and this was your standard hot pepper sauce which went well over everything.
Wings - I didn't initially order these but I got greedy while waiting and asked if we could also have 5 wings to share, in the BBQ Sauce. The wings were fairly big, sticky, sweet and gorgeous and smothered in BBQ sauce - hit the spot!
For a filling lunch we probably didn't need the wings but really enjoyed them and we almost finished everything and were fit to burst. We washed everything down with a can of Four Pure Lager.
Our server was really friendly and attentive and the only thing to pick on from our visit was it seemed to be a long wait for some friend chicken, but the fact they fry to order meant the wait was fine. Apart from the batter being a little over-cooked/dry in parts, everything we ate was superb and I would 100% recommend a visit here.
