Unfortunately my dining experience wasn’t great at LuLu’s. It took over 45 minutes to receive our food, eggs were runny when asked for fried hard and they charged me for the correct/replacement eggs. Also the quality of food was not on par with other local eateries.

Our first visit at Lulus for breakfast. Food was amazing and surpassed our expectations. We chose the dishes that we've read in other reviews and it did not disappoint. Red velvet waffles are definitely a hit. My son loved them. And I chose the Atlantic omelette and it was delicious. My favorite is the home fries. I truly enjoyed the spice on them. We most definitely will be returning soon!

Had brunch with my mom and my two Aunts. The waitress was very patient and everyone's order was correct. The food was delicious and the service was great. I had the Atlantic Omelet and the pimento grits. I was pleasantly surprised to find that the grits were actually good (because I never tried pimento). My Auntie C and Auntie M had made to order omelets and they were very pleased. They were complaining that the couldn't eat it all. The restaurant is in Shockoe Bottom and the parking in on the street (paid). Worth the trip.

This restaurant has brought a new ambience to the City. When dining there, you feel you could be somewhere else, where for me, that's great!! The food is wonderful, the cocktails are great and the overall dining experience leaves you with a very good satisfaction of food and drinks. It's wonderful!!!

LuLu's was AMAZING! The food was all delicious, the mimosas were in FULL GLASSES and the drinks were just amazing. Not a single one of us had a complaint (other than wishing we had bigger stomachs to try more). We had a reservation and they were extremely helpful n getting us into a seat so we didn't have to wait too long. Our waitress was the BEST and just it was a great place. Hands down going to be my brunch spot whenever I make the trek down to Richmond.

We went because of the rave reviews this got on opentable and yelp - unfortunately sorely disappointment. I ordered chicken and biscuits. The chicken, was barely chicken and I couldn’t even cut into it. I took one bite and it was chewy, inedible. The biscuit was so dense and the gravy was so salty and the sausage was also super rubbery. Overall, I didn’t eat the meal and wouldn’t recommend.

Our bacon was not cooked thoroughly and the food was not warm. One of the members of our party's eggs squirted all over her and it took more than 10 minutes before our server came to our table, and at that point she was already in the bathroom cleaning up and no longer needed napkins.

Host did not look up at us while checking in. Just kept nose buried in computer. Red velvet chic and waffles not fresh. Fried chicken ‘off’ in flavor and waffles were spongy with no flavor. Microwaved leftovers? Booth shoddily constructed and shook noisily when we got in and out. Bathroom dirty. Server went MIA while needing check. Crash between hurried servers -one of which was bringing our dishes ending up on floor. Chaotic.

I absolutely love this little gem. This was my second time dining here and I can’t say enough wonderful things about this restaurant. The menu is so creative. The specials are so good too, as are the regular items like the hamburger, red velvet waffles, etc. Too many amazing choices to choose from. The service is truly impeccable (I wish I could remember the name of our waitress bc she deserves the accolades). If you have a chance, stop in to try this wonderful little spot. Thank you for a wonderful lunch!
