Hunger, unlike ambulance sirens, meningitis, and restraining orders, is not something you can safely ignore. Answer the mighty call of a bellowing belly with today's Groupon: for $12, you get $25 worth of classic pub fare and drinks at Lucky Dog Grille, located in Mason. Today's deal is not valid for happy hour. You must purchase at least one food item with your Groupon.

Lucky Dog Grille's inviting environs serve up a menu of flavorful pub fare in comfortable noshing quarters for the whole family. Their plump, aromatic Big Dog wings send tongues aflutter, being slathered in one of your choice of 14 sauces and served with a side of palate-cooling ranch or blue cheese sauce ($5.49 for an order of six, $10.49 for 12, $15.99 for 18). Sample the lightly breaded fried pickles, golden brown and sidekicked with ranch ($5.49), or prove the conservative cheese forecast wrong with crispy, skin-on potato skin flats ($6.99). A host of handy handhelds like the spicy feta wrap ($7.99) and BBQ bacon steak Philly sandwich ($8.99) are equally capable of quelling vicious hunger pangs, or doubling as makeshift melee weapons during unexpected Plesiosaur attacks.

Friendly, attentive servers underscore the welcoming and casual vibe at Lucky Dog. Wooden tables and chairs bedeck a spacious floor, which is surrounded by arcade games, bright neon, and television screens broadcasting sporting events. A cozy outdoor patio enhances bites with a gourmet breeze that combines the best elements of dining in the embrace of nature, and slamming the door in nature's face.
