Lunch - NO WATER

Wife and I stopped in Lucky Frog on Cortez for lunch. Asked for water. Was told they don’t serve water due to problems with TAP WATER. But they will sell a plastic bottle of water for $1. Rip Off! If water is not safe to...drink what are they washing dishes and hands with! I think it’s a Health Department inquiry as to why water is not safe to drink.More

We’re not serving Tab Water but if you don’t want to pay $1 for a Bottle you also could choose Ice Tea, Soda with free refills, Juice or Wine and Beer which fits perfectly with our German Food. Florida has the worst water quality in...More

Everything a Great Restaurant should be

We've eaten here many times. I've never had a bad meal. Actually, I've never had a meal at the Lucky Frog that was less than superb. It's a small, locally owned place that serves delicious German fare. The chef cooks behind a half wall to...keep an eye on the patrons. We sometimes chat while he cooks. Everything is just right - the schnitzel, the sausages, the German beer - even the side salad is special. If you want something different, ask for potato pancakes with a sliver of salmon. Perfect!More

Fantastic food served fresh and hot!

Very welcoming and pleasant. Our server was friendly and helpful. The food is cooked to order and was served piping hot. We were stuffed with the lunch portions, I’m sure dinner would necessitate a to-go box! Everything we ordered was delicious!!

Excellent Dinner

To find this wonderful German restaurant within walking distance of our hotel was a great find. We had a great dinner accompanied by several German beers. The food, service, and owner's attention to detail was top notch. It is a small restaurant and reservations were...offered. A great evening.More

Super friendly

Went in for a beer and a snack and will be back for more. Crysta was very informative. I and very interested in returning for a special dinner of pork shank that needs to be ordered the day before. Read about the history of the...place. Have been to a number of old established German restaurants such as The Berghoff , in Chicago, Metzgers, in Ann Arbor Michigan and this one should be around for a long time also if the continue to hire people like Crysta..More

Great Lunch

Four of us tried the LF for lunch and had a wonderful time last Wednesday. The German beer was good & cold and the food was hot and scrumptious. Our waitress, Crysta, was very pleasent and helpful. Only two tables were occupied so we ended...up having nice conversations with Crysta and the chef about the homeland and food. We plan to return asap.More

Gluten Freee

Vacationing in Bradenton, Fl for 3 weeks. My sister is on a Gluten Free diet. This restaurant came up when we did a search. Not easy to find locations that take gluten Free serious. What a surprise - the best restaurant by far we ate...at during our 3 week stay. German food was delicious and served steaming hot. Staff was very knowledgeable about Gluten Free selections. We went back for a second time during our stay. Highly recommend.More
