Stopped in for breakfast today , the experience was alright, the service was extremely slow , it took maybe 10-14 minutes to get my drink, the pea on spread was delicious and the croissant breakfast sandwhich with egg bacon and cheese was pretty good. Overall it was a alright experience . The wait staff needs more help for certain.

Great service. Fun selection of foods. Make sure to get beef hash on the side... A MUST! Drink selection was really good. They had a Carmel cider drink special that was delicious and perfect for the fall. Just a wonderful brunch experience!

I was visiting Richmond, and was looking for a good spot for breakfast. Lulu's had good reviews and I'm glad this is where we ate. The food was delicious and our server was very good! I had the Atlantic at our servers recommendation, and it was perfect!! They don't have any flavored coffee creamers, though. Not a huge deal. The only hiccup was that I had also ordered a meal to go, and when it was brought out, the order was incorrect. It was taken back and the correct meal was brought out. Definitely recommend this restaurant for breakfast!

Went for Sunday Brunch with a party of 6. Got reservations the night before because I was told they can be crowded. Was sat right away in the main dining room, it wasn’t very crowded, it took almost 10 minutes before a server came to get our drinks. After ordering the drinks came out quickly, the mimosas were tasty and in a normal bar glass, not the tiny flutes so that was a plus. We had to wait 35 minutes for our food and rarely saw our server in that time. The food was a sold delicious, it was the service time that I detest. Everything the group ordered was delicious, recommend the Shrimp and Grits and the Chicken and Red Velevt waffles! Party of 6 out the door was 134$.

the food was SO GOOD! the only issue i had was that the wait time was pretty long. we got seated fast but the food coming out and then ordering the check took longer then i thought. but again some of the best food i had in Richmond, if you have the time i would try it!

RESERVATION are a must on Saturdays!!!! I'm happy I did otherwise you may not get a table or have a couple hours wait. Went on Saturday and the vibe was great... Music was on point, food took a little long- expected with the sheer number of people and all orders are made to order! I had the Atlantic omelette 🤤 soooooo good and my gal pal had the red velvet waffle- which she loved! Oh! And if you order mimosa you can take the rest to-go!!!

Lulu's customer service is out of this world!! Their food is also out of this world!! We will definitely be coming back here next time we are in Richmond!! We had a pitcher of the Tropical Mimosas, a Bloody Mary, Shrimp & Stone-Milled Pimento Grits and Chicken & Red Velvet Waffle. Everything was absolutely delicious. Tropical Mimosas - were very refreshing and a perfect start to our brunch Bloody Mary - Bloody Mary mix is made in house and is absolutely divine Shrimp&Stone-Milled Pimento Grits - this is the star of the show! It was so creamy and perfectly seasoned! Chicken&Red Velvet Waffle - the chicken was perfectly seasoned and cooked, the house potatoes were something you could just eat a whole plate of all by itself, the sausage gravy is absolutely amazing, the waffle was good but a bit dense and dry the syrup didn't even soak into it (would have been better with a good pad of melted in butter in or something)

They say, "Vatiety is the spice of life." Lulu's dishes surely offer a spicy kick. We appreciate the fact that our waiter mentioned this prior to ordering. My 9-year-old son was able to substitute his meal to avoid Lulu's spicy potatoes. 🥔 In addition, the Chicken & Biscuit recipe included spices, too. Good thing I ordered an unsweetened tea to tame the heat. My father rated the croissant sandwich 6 out of 10. Three of my family members ordered the cheese grits. Unfortunately, the texture of these grits prevented us from enjoying it. The Red Velvet Waffles were a favorite at our table. My 20-year-old daughter said, "The scrambled eggs are delicious." Overall, we enjoyed the experience and liked the atmosphere and location.

We came for brunch and were disappointed. We had the Corned Beef Breakfast Burrito ($18), Smoked Salmon Omelette ($17), Americano ($3), XL Biscuit ($3), and glass of milk ($3). The Corned Beef Burrito was good. However, the smoked salmon was way too salty and poor quality. The biscuit was just plain bad: dry, almost hard, with more of a stale cake texture. The only saving grace of this visit was our bartender, Aaliyah! She was very positive and constantly hustling. If you re the Lulu manager should pay her more. If you re not the manager, you should come hire her away.

November 22, 2024

My friend and I dined in a few months ago. We had a good experience until an hour after leaving and I started throwing up, it happened 10+ times all in the same day. He was also queasy throughout the day. I called the restaurant and let them know, an assistant manager promised a full refund. After a few weeks of not receiving a refund, the same assistant manager then informed me they won t refund the meal. She offered to comp a meal. Why would I go back and eat somewhere that made me violently ill?

We just had a SPLENDID breakfast at Lulus! Every little thing was peachy keen Josephine! Aaliyah, our server, was prompt and super friendly and utterly cool, without being cloying, which is a hard trick to pull off. The food was zippily seasoned to perfection, without being excessively overzealous, which is also a hard trick to pull off. I most highly recommend the red velvet waffle with pecan cream cheese and strawberries! I added a side of bacon and home fries to my order, then added a side of sausage gravy to dip my homefries in, which I feel might be one of the most triumphant decisions of my life. Judge me if you must. The atmosphere and music curation was peppy and fun and made me dance in my seat whilst eating. Lulus you are welcome to open a restaurant in Lancaster, PA anytime you are ready!

I made a reservation for 3 at 2pm on a Sunday. When I walked into the restaurant the first thing I noticed was how loud it was. I had to yell at the person next to me to be able to hear, so we sat outside. The server gave us our drinks and then never came back to our table again. We had to wave down a different server to place our orders. 30 minutes go by and we still haven t gotten our food and the server has yet to stop at our table since he gave us our drinks. We wave down the different server again and they tell us there is still at least a 15 minute wait. We leave without our food. We saw all the food ready under hot lamps, there just weren t enough runners to bring out the food in a timely manner. I m not eating food that s already been sitting out for 15+ minutes. If you can t get your food out in under 30 minutes you shouldn t have that many tables.

September 22, 2024

i would put 0 if there was an option, My family and I came here for brunch, we were served our drinks then waited 25 minutes before eventually finding another server to take our order. After we took our order we waited an hour before finally asking where our food is. I saw our order sitting on the hot plate so i asked if i could just grab it myself and they said no itll be out in 15 more minutes our original server who only took our drinks order didnt bother to come up to us once to apologize for the long wait. We waited 15 more minutes and our food still hadnt been served so we just left.

The staff is amazing. So many acknowledged us upon arrival. Brayden was excellent. Above and beyond. We had the chicken and waffles and shrimp and grits, washed it down with the tropical mimosa and house Bloody Mary. I m from the south and even New Orleans girts can t hold a candle to these. Absolutely amazing, well seasoned, excellent flavor profile. The chicken and red waffles come with scrambled eggs, potatoes, and sausage gravy. We were floored at how amazing it was. Again. Seasoned perfectly. The chicken was crunchy heavy on the smoked paprika but still absolutely delicious. The waffle was okay. Very dense. And we love waffles. We couldn t finish them.

She made us feel welcome and crafted our drinks perfectly. I opted for a Brazilian mimosa, which I highly recommend if you enjoy a mimosa with a kick. For my meal, I had the Atlantic Omelette, which came with house potatoes, and I added an XL buttermilk biscuit. The food was incredible, with generous portions of lobster and jumbo lump crab in the omelette, all seasoned to perfection. I also enjoyed watching the kitchen in action, and the pleasant music enhanced the great atmosphere. If youre looking for delicious food, great drinks, a fantastic atmosphere, and friendly staff, you must check out Lulu s.

I was visiting my family in Virginia. My niece, who lives in Richmond, said that it had great reviews. So we thought we would try it. As we arrived, a big bridal party was leaving, and there was a good size crowd of people eating on the patio. All good signs. The food was good. I tried some of my nieces, and the chicken & red velvet waffle was really good. I had French toast, bacon, eggs, and home fries. It was really good also. The home fries had a slightly spicy side to them. I dont do spicy well. However, it wasnt enough to make me not enjoy it. I tried my other nieces cheese grits. So that was the only thing i didnt care for. It was very bland. I was surprised because everything else was good. My sister had a cheeseburger, and she said it was great. She thought it came with avocado slices, but she said it actually came with a delicious guacamole on it. Our sever was Excellent! I feel bad that I forgot her name so that I could have given her a shout-out. The atmosphere was nice! I would go back again the next time I visit there.

Ok, so the waitress was as sweet as she could be. This place required reservations and honestly, that built up my expectations. Needless to say, I was not impressed. The tables on the floor are too close together and not conversation-friendly. The French toast was a bit over cooked and oily the bacon was wide and thin but decent in taste. The fried potatoes were ok but not rememberable. The strawberries on the side were tasteless and skimpy. I wasnt mad but sad about the flat taste. Now to be fair everyones taste buds are different and I am hard to please especially since my husband and I 99.99% of the time cook at home and Im always ready on the rare occasion I eat out to be impressed. Hats off to the popularity of the place.

The highlight of our visit to Richmond on a gloomy and dreary weekend. Great service, and I loved the food! The house potatoes were exactly the amount of spice I wanted (Im Indian, and we spice our potatoes the same way back home, it might be a little too spicy for other nationalities), and they were well balanced by a fluffy and soft croissant egg sandwich. The Lulus Benedict was also super delicious, with crunchy seasoned asparagus on the side. Great coffee as well. Thanks to Kayla for checking in with us regularly to make sure we had everything.

We had Julie as our Server and she was Attentive, Professional and Polite. The Seafood Omelette, Red velvet waffles, House potatoes and chicken was cooked to perfection. Our food arrived to our table in a reasonably amount of time, didn t wait long. The atmosphere was friendly with soft music playing in the background. It is a go to place for a nice and relaxing Brunch.

I have been here before with my best friend so I decided to take my husband for our anniversary trip. He agreed this was the best food spot we went to. It was our lunch and the food is amazing Parking: Accross the street. We went on a Friday and it wasnt crowded. However I went on a Saturday the first time and after we arrived it got crowded to park.

So delicious! Our server was too charming- however he was inattentive/ distracted- we let him know we had to leave and found him him hanging out sitting with other guests instead of taking care of our bill - took about 20 minutes to be able to leave- actually took our bills to the counter to get checked out

I was in Richmond for a medical visit, wanted breakfast, Googled for a place nearby. Boom Lulus! The food was outstanding! And service was good. Only complaint was that Google map had me go down the ally. Check Lulus website for parking info if you are like me from out of town and dont know where you are. Bottom line, worth the effort!!

We went here for brunch on Sunday and while busy was so good! I just got a couple of sides as a meal(fried chicken, scrambled eggs, and toast) and my husband got the chicken and biscuits. Chicken was great eggs were great, and my husband said the biscuits were some of the best hes ever had they soaked up the gravy perfectly. Definitely would recommend and go back next time we are in Richmond.

Avoid!!! Great presentation but Overrated! Worst Brunch margaritas in town ! French toast was great, bacon was crispy/burnt potatoes was over spicy with blk pepper. NoT for kids. wayy too spicy! Only half a Waffle per order, Under cooked Grits were lukewarm and uncooked asparagus didnt make it any better. The bartender was upset cause I didnt like my drink and became very unprofessional and decided to voice her enthusiasm about my horrible margarita! Arron was great he tried to help, just wish we could choose our level of spice. Will never be back! Friends and family AVOID!!!

I m giving this a 5 because of the service. They should always check the temp of food. Honestly I appreciate the service. Our waitress/server was Julia I believe that s how you would spell her name she was kind enough to ensure we were served well. There was a guy who also brought our food out and made sure to correct my food. I had cold potatoes, an undercooked runny egg ( I wanted it cooked hard) and my grits were stiff. I returned the grits they weren t edible and not to my liking. They refunded that. I told them to please reheat my food they made a whole new plate and I appreciate that VERY much. I never usually rate low on food. Prices were good especially for the mimosas. I d say just ensure the food is not cold and question would you eat it before serving it. Other than that thank you for correcting my order and being so kind! I m still coming to this place for my brunch dates because they have amazing red velvet waffles and the potatoes are seasoned so well.

The asparagus tasted unseasoned yet were grilled to the black-maximum! The shrimp was the only thing remarkable and they hit the spot with culinary marksmanship!!! The poached eggs were blah-- I know I have had a tangy hollandaise sauce that made poached eggs taste great!! SHAMEFULLY such tang was absent. A touch of vinegar in the cooking process would have done wonders! This dish looks far better than it tastes. The waitress was very attentive and helpful.

Lulus was fantastic.. we went on the morning of the marathon so I expected it to be crowded and it was.. but they were super efficient, they quoted us 30 minutes to sit outside in the heated porch and it only took us 10 minutes to get to our very warm table.. the food was excellent (we had the chicken & biscuits w sausage gravy...and the crab and goat cheese omelet...bith were spectacular) as were the drinks, both adult and otherwise (great bloodys and awesome coffee).. and the service was Top Notch as well.. really worth a visit

We have heard so much from our sons about LULUs for the past year so we decided to make a reservation on for a Wednesday morning. Upon arrival in the area we did get lost because if your not looking on hard, its difficult to find the building only due to it being a Market place area downtown and the restaurant is not on the corner of the block so you can visibly see it. But we called the restaurant and the host kindly guided us to the establishment. Upon arrival we were greeted very friendly by the host and were seated. Right away I loved the ambience and decor not to mention the nice rb tunes they had playing. Our waiter Aaron promptly greeted us friendly and professional to take our drink orders. He also informed us of any specials on the menu for that day. We also had a couple of questions about the menu. We both decided on the shrimp and Grits with a side of potatoes. Food was brought out in a reasonable amount of time, which I loved. No lets talk about loving something else, the food was amazing. The Grits had just the right amount of cheese with peppers and onions. Although Im not an onion and peppers on my Grits type of chick. I found the combination to be quite delightful. Also had my eggs over medium. What I loved about the eggs is they were not heavily salted. Which is a plus because everyones taste buds is not for the salt. Anyway, the potatoes were fabulous but I didnt know that they had a kick of pepper to it. Couldnt finish it all because of this. Ya girl is not with alot of spice. But I still would give it a 10. Aaron checked on us and made sure everything was to our liking. The bill came and was reasonably priced. All in all. We absolutely loved LuLUs and will be back again to try their famous red velvet waffles and chicken. A++

I thoroughly enjoyed my time at LuLus. I ordered the Atlantic Omelette and it came with house potatoes. I also ordered half of the red velvet waffle Kareem told me they are known for. And a sweet tea to drink. Before I could even order the food though, I asked Kareem about the grits. Im leery about pimento. He offered to bring a sample and it was a decent portion size for just a sample. The omelette was recommended so I went with it. The portion sizes for all of the food was delish. The sweet tea was perfect-no bitter aftertaste. The only reason the food rating is not five stars is because the omelette and sauce didnt seem to be seasoned. I tasted all of the components it should have but there wasnt anything bringing it together-I ate some then and later. But. The potatoes? Dont get them if you arent a fan of spicy. However, so good. The waffle? I didnt even use the syrup. The cream cheese, strawberry sauce, and whipped cream along with the strawberries was enough for me. I definitely recommend brunch. I would go again or go and see what the regular menu is about based off of this experience. And Kareem. One of the best servers I have EVER had.
