From Lucky's to Mom's: North Park diner space finds new life
Lucky Wong was a North Park legend, serving breakfast at his diner for nearly 50 years. He died last year, and the diner closed its doors.
In June, Grimm Avenue — where Lucky’s stood — was ceremonially renamed Lucky Lane. Now the space is getting its first new tenant since the 1970s. Brian Foxworth Jr. and his family, who run Mom’s Chicken and Waffles, are taking over the spot.
“The old school dining look of it, that’s gonna stay. The seating’s gonna stay. We’re pretty much just getting new flooring and putting some paint on the walls … we’ll keep that going for the locals and just to honor Lucky’s legacy,” Foxworth said.
The restaurant is set to open by December.
