Got a lunch of Swiss steak, or was it Salisbury steak, with mashed potatoes, gravy, and vegetable. I sat at the counter behind the cook.

And that's just about what this meal would have cost in Minneapolis.

There are very few tables in this small restaurant, so we ended up waiting quite a bit and then had to push two tables together. It didn't matter much since we were still waiting for some of our other family members to arrive, but just know if you have a group larger than 3-4, you'll likely end up waiting at least 30 minutes. The food was overall satisfying. I got the cranberry, turkey, and Brie sandwich with the soup of the day, which happened to be bacon cheeseburger. Both were yummy! At the end, we got sold on the desserts in the window (me and my partner on the chocolate creme pie). They were all good as well! The only thing keeping this place from 5 stars was the service. From the time we entered, we felt like an inconvenience. A party of six shouldn't be too much to handle, but we were apparently too much. We didn't get much attention unless we flagged someone down. Overall, I liked the food and the feel of this place, but I wouldn't come back unless I was with only one other person!

They also have coffee drinks, beer and wine.

What's not to like? Lu Lu Beans coffee shop in Willmar is one of the cutest coffee shops I've ever…read more"bean" to. Ha, ha. The small sign outside says "Welcome home friends" which hints at the overall atmosphere you'll experience at this popular Willmar coffee shop. Old guys with bald heads and white chin beards gather around a small table on the patio to sip coffee, discuss their golf game and gripe about the rising cost of home owners' insurance. Nearby, a couple of moms in yoga pants catch up before launching into their busy day. Inside, a 20-something works remotely at a table not much bigger than her laptop. And there's me. A not-so-young-anymore dad from the cities with nothing better to do than hunt for a good espresso and write wordy Yelp reviews. I ordered a daily brew, my usual, which was fine. TBH not any better than coffee out of my Keurig. They had an espresso category on their chalkboard menu but I didn't see that a simple cup of espresso was an option. I could be wro Nevertheless, it's the vibe of the place that makes Lu Lu's so special. Set in an old house? Gas station? Country store? I don't know, but I love the friendly, homey feel. The different rooms have your usual tables and chairs, but also comfy oversized chairs, couches and love seats. Want to work remotely? No problem- tables and chairs of all sizes. Want to hang out and chat with your bestie or curl up with your favorite book (or electronic device)? Check! Looking for a cozy patio surrounded by potted plants? Got you covered. (Literally, the patio is covered by a lattice pergola covered in vines that crest a nice shade on a sunny day). I also love that the walls are covered in employees' artwork. Some of it is even for sale. The decor is well curated country chic with lots of live plants, cute antiques and I feel like there's got to be a cat quietly snoozing the day away somewhere around here. (Probably not really, but it wouldn't surprise me to feel something furry brush up against my leg). Lu Lu Beans coffee shop is as if your oddly hip grandma was a tattooed, big city barista who decided to start a new life in Willmar after working for Martha Stewart. It's a good thing.

I gave a $5 tip on my $4.50 coffee and there was absolutely no thank you or acknowledgment whatsoever. No 'have a nice day' or anything.

One problem is that they can run out so it's best to get in early. If you don't know what klub is then you should probably keep on driving and go to something you are familiar with.
