Loved our waiter. Loved the food. However, I had my heart set on some gluten-free spaghetti and I was informed that they did not have that anymore, but it's still on the menu.
Lulu's is great for a casual delicious meal and has an extensive menu. There is something for everyone! Service was efficient and the environment is fun and lively. Burgers are great and the fries are fantastic! Chicken Pot Pie was wonderful (and huge!) and the creamy mushroom soup was a great starter. We've been to Lulu's before and we will be back again.
A local staple, great food, great service in the middle of town ... drinks are to die for!
Ordered the Turkey Burger with Cheddar Cheese, came with no cheese. Waited 7 minutes for the server to come over, took my burger, brought it back, Food was cold, Never came back to refill my ice tea. I have been to Lulu prior and never had this experience. This time was horrid!!!!
A friend recommended this place, and I can see why. It was a fun place for dinner. The food offered was varied and delicious. Something for everyone. The service was exceptionally good too.
New Year's Day lunch was awesome! I got the steak frites and the mushroom soup... so warm and filling for the rainy day. Our waiter Thomas was incredible! Looking forward to going back just to get served by him again.
I made dinner reservations for four people because we had guests coming from out of town. We have been to Lulu several times so I thought this was a good choice. We specifically chose Lulu because they had an open menu. When we sat down for dinner, we were informed that it was a prix fix menu and because we were in between seating times I assumed we would pay the lower price. Unfortunately, we were charged the higher price and ended up paying $400 per couple for a very mediocre meal.  The lobster bisque tasted like I had been left on the stove too long, the Seabass was a gelatinous mess, and the dessert was a glorified Jell-O. Then they tacked on a 20% gratuity and charged us $70 for three drinks. When I informed the hostess about this, she just shrugged her shoulders and said that they were trying to call people to let them know about the menu change, I never got a call, so she just said sorry and we left.  i've never had an $800 meal, but I certainly hope it would be better than what we got last night. Unfortunately, we will not be back to Lulu‘s.
I hadn't realized it was a prix fixe menu and received a whopping $350 bill for the two of us. The soup course lobster bisque was not very good, very salty and lacking flavor. The pear salad was delicious as well as the seabass. The desert was bland. Service was spotty.
Food was delicious. Staff was great. The 4 course New Year's Prix Fixe menu offered a wide variety food choices.
All day Happy Hour, gluten-free pizza crust on request, wild mushroom soup. The drink and food menu has a wide variety and they have a great location.

Our waiter was outstanding, so was the busboy....they both enhanced our dining experience, thank you
Food was mediocre at best. Took a long time to come out and forgot our soup. No ketchup for the fries. Service was non-existent.
Fun atmosphere, nice staff. Much of our food was very good, but the meatloaf was a disappointment - dense, baloney-like texture.
Highly overrated tourist hotspot. Food was meh at the very best. Wife's “lettuce wrap” was a small whole head of iceberg lettuce that tasted unwashed and dirty. Side salad was no better, and they didn't add or supply the dressing despite asking what kind she would like. The hummus came with two carrots and two celery, the rest cracker, FYI, as I'd like to have known I wasn't going to be getting my vegetables in prior to ordering. Had a reservation and when asked for a vacant booth, was told it was reserved...I wasn't offered a choice when booking. A mother and loud toddler occupied a booth so not sure it was about numbers.
Had the prime rib that the waiter indicated was popular but lacked flavor and seemed to be not a quality piece of meat. Waiter did not notice very little was eaten and did not ask if I would like to take home.
