    Not as good as the last time I went, which admittedly was over a year ago. Very load, biscuits are very large and very dry, somewhere between a biscuit and an English muffin. Omletes were good, sausage gravy and hash browns were very good

    Our waitresses was very friendly, and attentive. She had a great attitude, and was knowledgeable about the menu. The music and atmosphere were great. Our food was delicious, and the portions were ample...we had enough to eat some, and take some home! We both had the red velvet waffles & chicken. It came with eggs & potatoes! Delicious!

    Lulu's is usually pretty good but for some reason this time it just wasn't as good as I remembered. Our brunch time was relatively early and it seemed like the restaurant was fairly busy. We got our seats - which were outside, perfectly fine with that - our server was pretty quick to greet us and get our drink orders. After about 30 minutes of sitting, we realized that we hadn't gotten our drinks and the heat lamps weren't on. I had to get up and go inside to ask for our drinks and our server was super busy. All of these tables came out of nowhere and he forgot about us which is totally understandable because he suddenly had to greet all of these tables at once. He was super apologetic and got our drinks out to us and our food order. Food was not as good as I remembered, drinks came out fine, service was fine but it was so obvious that the two people in the back needed some sort of support and everyone was gathered around the host stand. I do not blame my server for the bad service. What I saw when I walked inside would be a nightmare for any server. One person can only do so much. I think if there were more people in the back part of the restaurant we would have had a better experience. It will be a while before I come back to Lulu's.

    What a surprise finding in Richmond, VA. Went for Sunday brunch and although there was a long line of "walk ins" we were seated immediately, honoring our reservation. The food was great - I had the red velvet waffle and fried chicken and thoroughly enjoyed this signature dish. Others had the eggs benedict, the breakfast taco and the crab omelet - all were great and the pitcher of blood orange mimosas was a steal at $35. We had superb customer service with just the right amount of light conversation and oversight. Next time I am in town I will absolutely return!

    Family of four went there for brunch. Ordered the Atlantic omelette with hollandaise sauce. It was overcooked and dry. The potatoes had a an odd seasoning. Maybe it was cumin? Not sure. The red velvet waffle was like cardboard. The chicken tasted like it had taco seasoning. I spent a lot of money and my food looked better than it tasted.

    The food was okay to good. Not exceptional in either direction- which was perfectly fine for what we were after. Service help, Honey (not her real name, but was the name on her shirt) was exceptionally good. Music was pretty loud for 9 am, but Honey took care of it. The potatoes were Luke warm, Honey was on it. Good place for breakfast if you are in the area.

    The food was out of this world. I couldn't make up my mind and, because of our waitress's suggestion, I had the perfect omelet. The Red Velvet waffles ordered by my granddaughter were light and fluffy. She ate two which is unusual for her. My DIL loved her LuLu's meal, too. The only drawback is that the service was a little slow and were were trying to get to a 2 pm show at the Altria. We made it, but it was close.

    I was really disappointed I heard so many good things about this restaurant. Our food came out cold after waiting 35-40mins for it, our server had so many tables it took him about 25mins to greet us and then waited another 25mins to take our order. I come to this restaurant out of town for my birthday, and was really disappointed. After we received our food we asked for the check and box it up. We were ready to go, took the food back to our hotel and warmed the food up. Food was good after we warmed it but overall the service sucks and food was cold.

    We visited on a Sunday morning for brunch, choosing Lulu's as a great meeting spot for family who were traveling through Richmond on 95 South. The location was really convenient for them to hop off and on the interstate. Our brunch was fantastic. Our server, Aliyah was attentive and helpful. We enjoyed our sausage gravy and biscuits, red velvet chicken and waffles, croissant breakfast sandwich, corned beef hash, coffee, and peach mimosas (for the locals, not the travelers.) And even though it was a busy Sunday morning brunch, we were never made to feel rushed while we visited and enjoyed our meals and each other's company. I highly recommend Lulu's and we'll be returning.

    We went during RVA Bruch weekend. The staff was very accommodating as we went from inside to outside seating. The food was pretty good. No one had any complaints about the food and we received good portions for the money. The only thing is they may want to have more bathrooms available.

    I’ve been here twice within one week and everything was perfect each time. I got the Atlantic Omelette both times, fully loaded. Definitely a 10/10 and I’ll be making this my regular brunch spot. Oh, the Tropical Mimosa, 10/10! Got the pitcher both times as well. 💫

    Great experience since I wanted to try something new. Reason for such a low review is when going out to eat, I expect food to have passion and taste when dining out. I ordered the Shrimp and Polenta, grits were watery with no flavor, turn off. Shrimp was cooked great but the fried eggs on top covered the flavored veggies underneath, should be on top to help spread the flavor around since grits lacked taste. Husband ordered red velvet waffles with fried chicken that was seasoned but missed the mark on cream, butter, warm syrup… honestly, experience was not enough to bring us back. Pitcher of tropical mimosa not worth $35 (mostly ice). Experience feels more like the 2nd or 3rd option when 1st option falls through.

    Lulu’s is one of the best brunch spots in the area, and definitely my go to for chicken and waffles! Service was a little slow this last time, but it was Sunday brunch so they were obviously busy. Server otherwise was absolutely great! Only complaint is they could use some work on their drinks. Not much variety on their drink menu and the ones served were definitely not the best. The blood orange mimosa was not great at all, espresso martini was eh, average, and I’m not even sure it was orange juice in my traditional mimosa. Mimosas also tasted premade as if they had been sitting in a pitcher for hours. BUT, you absolutely can’t go wrong with their food, so still highly recommend!

    Great Sunday breakfast (9am) with fun seasonal adult beverages. Ordered the special chorizo gravy with a cheddar jalapeño biscuit and added poached eggs. Decadent and lush: go dine with friends and enjoy great service from moment you walk in (efficient and friendly but not over the top). :)
