They never disappoint! The food and staff are above par every time! My visit last night was for the all you can eat crab legs and it was amazing! Best boil I have ever had! The peach vinaigrette salad dressing ⭐️! Everything in the boil including the crab legs flavortastic🤩! The service was outstanding! Everyone who brought something to our table and the waitress, best customer service! We had one of the later reservations and you all never ran out! Cobbler was gone but that lemon bar substitute was delicious! 🍋 We will be back!

Went for a birthday celebration. Company 10/10, a few dishes/appetizers were tasty but the sides were not tasty or cooked well, was charged for an extra side ($10), made several attempts to contact management to resolve. Never received a return call or funds. First & last time, would not return. Very disappointing because the food looks delicious.

We ate there for the first time today and it was excellent! We had the blackened chicken sandwich with home fries, the cornbread, the chicken and dumplings and we shared a piece of fried chicken. It was all delicious! We will be going back on Sunday for brunch to try that. The best part … NINA … she was one of the best waitresses. Not only is she friendly, kind and very knowledgeable of all their menu items, she’s just one of those people that you are blessed to meet. She should be a trainer for all their staff. It was a great experience and I would highly recommend it. Third review … ate there this morning for brunch again and it was amazing. Requested Nina and was terrific as usual. She even remembered how we liked our eggs. 😉

We had a Family Outing there for Brunch. The food was delicious 😋. My Daughters recommended it. This was my Mom and I's first time there. Two of us had the catfish and the other two had the fried chicken. We started with Mimosas and Tea. We had an appetizer, fried okra and cheese curds. I'll definitely go back again. The service was great. I'd recommend making a reservation if there are 5 or more people.

It depends on what you are used to. The decor is wonderful. It's not terribly big, but is the perfect size for a cozy experience. We were seated promptly and the host and hostess were incredibly friendly. The food, however, was a great attempt at soul food. I really liked the macaroni and cheese, the shrimp appetizer, but the chicken could be seasoned better as could the greens. It was a bit on the bland side. But presented well. If the food had more "taste" I would easily give it four stars. Also, they were out of oxtails and something else another diner requested. Our reservations were at 5:30, so that was a bit surprising. After inquiring, the waiter did comp a free dessert for my fellow diner. I think Lulas has lots of potential and the dining experience was far from horrible. Also, one meal, one iced tea and one appetizer was a $95.00 meal with grautity included. I wouldn't mind that had the food been better. I don't think I'd go back, but give it a try.

First time coming during a family style dinner. Me and my family of four were sat towards the back of the restaurant and completely ignored throughout the night by staff. Would not recommend this restaurant to anyone so far.

We ate at Lula for this first time this weekend and loved it! Everything we ordered (biscuits, gumbo, chicken and dumplings, mac and cheese) was all delicious and the staff was delightful. My husband is from North Carolina, so it got a southern boy’s approval!

This is the kind of place you walk out of with a toothpick in your mouth and your hand gently patting your full belly, while you contemplate whether or not you want to order anything to go.

Today was my first time going to Lula’s. As soon as we got there my fiancé was waiting to get sat and they decided to skip over my fiancé to sit a 6 top that came in. Obviously not a good start. Then after she did get seated the lack of personal was apparent and the two workers that were on the clock did not seem to want to be there and treated us like we were a bother. While we were sitting there we heard another group say that they have been waiting for 20 minutes and hadn’t got to give their order.

The reason I am writing the review is due to the attitude of the bearded gentleman who was sitting people down. Speaking under your breath and being rude when we decided to leave due the environment that said bearded man created is extremely unprofessional. Making people uncomfortable due to being understaffed is unacceptable.

I wouldn’t recommend this restaurant to anyone.
