Food trends may come and go, but basic great food served with a smile will never go out of style. For the soldiers and families at Fort Cavazos, near Killeen, Texas, a diner with deep roots will soon bring fabulous farm-to-table classics for breakfast, lunch and dinner daily. Luckys Café, a renowned diner originally founded in Dallas more than three decades ago, will open on Fort Cavazos on Tuesday, Sept. 3.
The new restaurant, at 761st Tank Battalion Drive, will be operated by franchisee Gilbert Aranza of Java Star, Inc. The 4,917-square-foot space will offer 152 seats for diners. General Manager Brittany Williams is excited to receive guests at the new location.
Luckys Café is sure to become a neighborhood favorite because of classic offerings such as hand-breaded chicken fried steak and breakfast all day. The farm-to-table menu uses locally sourced, fresh, clean-tasting ingredients. Luckys will feature daily specials on the blackboard highlighting seasonal favorites.
Guests from around the region are invited to dine at Luckys. Civilians wishing to dine should stop at the Visitors Center before the main gate entrance. The desk soldiers onsite will be able to share access once guests share their ID, vehicle registration and proof of insurance. Continue straight ahead. Luckys is on the left at the corner of the second cross street.
The restaurant is proud to partner with local and regional farms that provide the freshest natural ingredients. Popular items include meatloaf, pot roast, chicken and waffle and one of the best grilled cheese sandwiches in the country. The team is excited about the impact it will have on the Fort Cavazos community.
“The soldiers and families at Fort Cavazos need a three-meals-a-day place like Luckys Café,” said Aranza, Luckys Café’s licensed operator. “Like the original Luckys on Oak Lawn in Dallas, the location on post will feature breakfast all day and diner classics for lunch and dinner with farm-to-table ingredients.”
