New to the area and being that I lived in Maryland for over 2 decades, I had to give this a go? this turns out to be a friends... Of mine cousin?s restaurant. Not many places do crab cakes right outside of Maryland; Baltimore to be specific. The crabcakewas great! I love how it came with the sides of rice and another of your choice BUT those honey-old bay wings is down right????. Do your mouth a favor?You can?t go wrong with that at all. The main drawback is wait times. They promote online orderingbut it?s never ?open? therefore, you have to call your order in or go to the restaurant and place an order BUT you?ll still bewaiting a minimum of 45 minutes. Now sure whether it?s staffing issues or not but when I placed my order, there was one cook andone cashier. Not worried about the pricing but inflation is real and it?s just the times we live in.

1st time in Charlotte and 1st time at Lulu?s. Food is seasoned and great portions. I had shrimp and grits, honey bbq chicken,... candied yams, and mashed potatoes w/ strawberry lemonade go wash it down. You won?t be disappointed Read more
I?ve never visited the Tuckaseegee location because accessing that restaurant is impossible. They finally opened a spot in my... neighborhood. I visit the Plaza Midwood location last Saturday at 3pm. No where to park so I park on the side street and walkup. Why they?d do this again is beyond me. Not busy at all but everyone waiting for food looked annoyed. Folk started walkingout. Red flag #1. White male with a white shirt and black slacks is walking around expressionless and not greeting anyone. Hewalks out with a line out the door that was standing 10 min before anyone acknowledged them, and says NOTHING to them. Notletting them know someone would be there to assist, nothing. I order crab fries and greens to go. An HOUR later, I walk up toask about my food. It comes out 10 min later. $23 crab fries with less than a spoonful of crab meat on it. I said NO MA?AM, Ididn?t just spend $23 for French fries. I?ll need more crab or a refund. The young lady was very nice and brought it back withmore crab meat. My first and last time visiting. Overpriced, too long of a wait for no reason, and the parking sucks again. Iwas really rooting for them. Two stars for the three friendly ladies who held down that nonsense with a smile on their faces. Read more
So glad I finally came here today. I got the fried catfish platter, which I got corn bread and greens with. Best greens I?ve... ever had! I will absolutely return to try more. Parking is tough currently because of road construction, but customer service isgreat. Read more
I had heard really good things about this place, so I decided to check it out today (2/7/22) for lunch. I ordered some crab... fries that were good, but it was basically fries with some sauce and barely had crab meat. I also ordered a platter that camewith salmon, shrimp, yellow rice and two sides. I asked for mashed potatoes, for one of the sides, but they were out of it, so Idecided on mac & cheese and corn bread. After 20 minutes waiting, they texted me that the food was ready, but the corn breadwasn?t ready so I had to choose another side ??????????? In general the food was good, just wish I?d had a better experience. Read more
Absolutely faultless - this place is the real deal! Greeted promptly and enthusiastically upon entering, and immediately felt at... home. This is a laid back, no-frills joint. Music was bumping and the energy is amazing. You know something special is goingdown in the kitchen as soon as you walk in. Good seafood is not cheap; if you want a container of FOOD for six bucks: go toCookout! If you want a MEAL, prepared with care and LOVE: LuLu?s has got your back! I will absolutely be adding LuLu?s to myshort-list of amazing CLT spots to recommend to friends and family in the know - it was my first time today, and definitely willnot be my last. I?ve been in Charlotte for over a decade now, and the first bite of that crab cake transported me right back intime to picking crabs with friends in Baltimore. Magical, truly. Read more
Fried shrimp, green beans, and Mac n cheese. Dang so delicious. The shrimp were so so good. The Mac n cheese though! Man that... was awesome. I highly recommend. I understand this places gets busy. I showed up around 1:15 on a weekday and no line. Lots oftheir food items were not available though. Read more
