Our Story

About Lucky Scottie

Lucky Scottie opened its doors in November 2023 with a vision to bring authentic hospitality and flavorful Italian-American cuisine to the heart of Waukegan, Illinois.

Family-owned and operated by David and Gina Kirk, Lucky Scottie was inspired by their deep love for Scottish Terrier dogs. The restaurant is proudly named after their beloved Scottie, Chloe — a symbol of loyalty, warmth, and the welcoming spirit that defines everything we do. Chloe represents the heart behind our name and the family values that shape our restaurant.

At Lucky Scottie, we specialize in delicious Italian-American favorites made with care, quality ingredients, and a passion for great food. Whether you’re gathering with family for dinner, meeting friends for drinks, or joining us to catch the big game, our goal is simple: create an experience that feels like home.

Located at 30 N. Genesee Street in downtown Waukegan, Lucky Scottie is more than just a restaurant — it’s a place where community, comfort, and flavor come together.

We look forward to welcoming you and making you part of the Lucky Scottie family.

— David & Gina Kirk
