July 18, 2009 - Doesn't like it - I was excited when I heard there was a place known for it's fried chicken. I grew up in the south and it doesn't come close. Chicken was bland and dry.

"Did someone say burger?" by Alaskankingalex (34 reviews)
March 25, 2009 - Likes it - Lucky Wishbone is one of the few restaurants where the waitresses still call you "Honey." A very friendly atmosphere with lovable waitresses. For over fifty years Lucky Wishbone has been serving Alaskans their irresistible burgers. Lucky Wishbone is a great place for lunch with family or friends. Tends to be busy at noon and is extremely busy during the summer season, but worth the wait!

"Almost like home" by Caleb Newville (9 reviews)
February 11, 2009 - Likes it - Having just recently moved here from Oklahoma, I was looking for a place with good home fried chicken.  Lucky Wishbone comes _very_ close to my southern tastes.

"Great Chicken" by Mike H. (9 reviews)
February 04, 2009 - Likes it - Has to be some of the best fried chicken I have enver had.  Make sure you call ahead if you plan on take-out, the place gets busy at lunch hour.  The malts and shakes are also good.  I would stick to the chicken tho, wasn't thrilled with the other items on the menu.

"Great Chicken" by Broccoli (38 reviews)
November 05, 2008 - Likes it - Looking for great 'home' cooked chicken?  Look no further.  Pan fried, buttermilk batter - great.  Be sure to save room for the strawberry shortcake!  Warm buttery biscuit, covered in strawberries and soft ice cream.  Phenomenal.   I hope Mom & Pop are able to keep it going for years to come.
