Ate lunch here twice during my month-long stay in HHI. Lemme say that their NE clam chowder is the real deal! I was disappointed to learn it got removed in favor of Manhattan style chowder, which I will say was NOT authentic. It was super spicy & tasty, but overwhelming to the clams. It was more a minestrone in terms of flavor. Loved the shrimp Po boy and the fried chicken Sammy. My friend had the BLT. It gets busy at lunch! read more

Out with my 95 y/o mom after Thanksgiving and we decided to try LuLu - sure glad we did. Wasn't too busy. Seated quickly and the waiter was very nice. Mom had a Chardonnay and I had a Diet Coke. Menu was short and sweet, exactly like I like it and filled with comfort food. Mom had the fried flounder sandwich and I had the bacon cheeseburger. Both dishes came with fresh homemade Parmesan chips. Food came out after a short wait and the portions was very nice sized. Flounder sandwich was huge and cooked perfectly. Crispy batter rather than puffy batter. Mom said it was one of the best fried flounder filets she's ever had. My burger was stacked. Cooked exactly like I ordered medium rare/ medium. Bacon was crispy, and the onion ring on the burger was nice touch. Chips were very crispy and delicious. Service was very good and we throughly enjoyed ourselves. Will definitely be back! read more

Food is delicious! Staff are friendly, helpful and professional. Staying on Hilton Head or not this is a place of fine dining.

The sauces are too strong and over power the food. The shrimp and grits would have been good with no sauce instead of a bowl of Worcestershire. The menu said it had it in it, but did not expect it to taste like the whole bottle. Waitress was nice but slow and didn't refill drinks until end of dinner. Restaurant was nice but would not go again. read more

Wife tried two times to get the staff to understand that her French toast was not done properly. She returned the first time and the second offering was the same. French toast needs to be toasted on both sides of he bread and not just the top.. The middle was mushy and not "TOAST" My meal was good but the fact that both of us did not enjoy our brunch was a bummer. read more

AHmazing! What a hidden gem in the strip mall where there's plenty of parking. Great interior design & vibe but make a reservation. We had excellent service with our waitress and the person she was training. Food was phenomenal and they are flexible if you want to switch around sides. I wanted a dessert so bad but was too full! Next time for the espresso creme brûlée. Go and try Lulu Kitchen. You won't be disappointed. read more

Great place for a nice lunch!! The chowder and BLT are perfect together. The chips are fantastic! The service was great and prompt and the place felt very cozy and felt very clean and in place. Overall, this a was great experience and will be back whenever we visit Hilton Head!! Thank you read more

My husband and I went to Lulu's for Valentine's dinner. It's a really cute restaurant. We sat in a row of four tables, two people per table. The tables were really close together. I realize that the restaurant is very small and they need to get as many people in as possible, but it was a little too close for comfort being only a foot or two from the other guests. We started with Moscow mule and Prosecco, which was delicious. We then had the coastal salad, which was fantastic. Lump crab meat, scallops, and shrimp. We shared that appetizer. I then had the salmon which was delicious. It was perfectly cooked and had great flavor. My husband had the pork chop, which was quite dry. We will give Lulu a try again during our next visit to Hilton Head in March. But we will pass on the pork chop and give something else a try. Most likely I'll order the salmon again. read more

We just stopped in for a slice of key lime pie to go before we got on the road to go home. The staff too very good. We want to come back for dinner next time we are in town. The restaurant looks great and the bar looks like it would be a good time. read more

Ate dinner there last night, amazing food and service once again. The dinner monk fish dish brought back fond memories of my childhood fishing with my Dad. We used to catch Monk fish and toss them back until this fellow fisherman asked if we were crazy. He said that is the "poor man's lobster tail". And he was right! After the first bite all my memories came back in a flourish. Burrata salad was terrific as was that special dessert; key lime pie- incredible. My wife had that special London Broil. Totally outstanding meal and service seated in a quiet little corner in the front!! read more

I'm from Alaska originally and know good fish. So when the server/chef's wife/owner asked me how I'd like my salmon cooked, I knew I was going to be enjoying a good piece of salmon. Indeed, it was perfectly cooked! I asked for tartar sauce because the server had mentioned it was homemade. It was delicious! My husband kept dipping his chips in it and said it was the best tartar sauce he'd ever had. We were at Hudson's the night before (skip it and eat here). I thought the key lime pie there was good, but the chef (and owner) at Lulu's makes the absolute BEST key lime pie I have ever had! Truly phenomenal! read more

Our family has been to Hilton Head 3x now and we've been to many restaurants, but THIS restaurant has been the absolute best one. Someone recommended Lulu and we are so happy they did. The ambiance, the service and food were incredible. Every spot I've eaten has been beyond subpar and lacking color. Lulu has so many fresh and fun options with many flavor options. We cannot wait to come back. read more

Nice spot for dinner with a group. Parking easy & close. Inside winter dining is fine with many tables but too close. Noise level ok. Be aware this is not a reduced price restaurant. Menu has many items but limited popular choices. Lunch menu is better. Tried the duck egg rolls first just ok & not hot. Lobster Mac & Cheese was outstanding with a large portion. Pork chop was large, moist & cooked to perfection. Add a side of the very good succotash. A couple of servers handled our table & very good. Very strange tip on bill was for whole table not by couple. read more

Very good food and service was also very good. The downside is that it is not inexpensive but I feel it was worth it. We sat outside and it was very pleasant. read more

Great service. Perfect lunch. The drink menu is delightful. While inside is a very cute bistro vibe, the outdoor covered seating is very nice and cozy. read more

This is a hidden gem!! First of all, the name of the restaurant is named after the families dog, Lulu. As a dog lover I was sold before I ever walked in! But boy did they blow it out of the water with our meal, wow. The burrata was heaven sent, the fried chicken was blissful, and the souffle was the best I've ever had!!! I also love that a portion of their Lulu drink goes to help shelter dogs. The service was great, it was fast and fresh, and the ambiance on the porch was top notch so I recommend sitting out there! read more

Discovered Lulu during restaurant week last week. Loved it so much, we went again this week. As luck would have it, we had Jeannie once again as our server. What a delight! We have an inside joke with her on our wine selection (and availability) now. We look forward to returning on our frequent trips to HHI. read more

Great food & very friendly service. We plan on returning this weekend for some more amazing food!

Had one of the best meals in Hilton Head at this cute little spot. My husband was craving a lobster roll and boy did they deliver. It was probably one of the best lobster rolls I have had. My husband and I shared the short rib grilled cheese and the lobster roll, both were fantastic. The Buratta starter was also quite scrumptious. 10/10 recommend this place for the service, ambiance and food! read more

Holy crap Batman!!! We saw this place in one of the Hilton Head brochures, and happened to be playing putt putt next door, so we decided to give it a try. Absolutely the best meal we have had since we hit Hilton Head 3 days ago!!! My wife, had the shrimp and grits, and growing up in the south she is a real critic of that dish. She said it was one of the best she has ever had. I had the Monkfish Schnitzel, which was absolutely genius!!! If you haven't eaten here, what the heck are you waiting for, get your butt in here!!! read more

Went here after someone recommended it last year. So, very disappointed. Potatoes served with the steak were dripping with oil, oil had a burnt taste to it and just a flat awful. The steak was well prepared and seasoned per the menus with a garlic butter, I felt it was sugar garlic sauce as it was very sweet. Husband's meal was the well known chicken breasts fried with mashed potatoes and Brussel sprouts. Sprouts were fresh and cooked well but the sauce was a mayonnaise based something and strong mayo flavored sauce. Chicken was a sweet batter like a pancake or waffle mix of sorts. Cooked well and juicy but again, sweet. Overall, service was nice, restaurant clean and well presented. The meals were not all that great given the higher price point. $17 for a single glass of wine. The menu is pretty limited so look online before you dine here, a couple walked out after we sat because they couldn't find anything in their words simple without too much stuff. read more

We ordered the tuna two ways, burrata with sourdough, the lobster toast and the fried chicken breast. We absolutely loved everything except for the lobster toast. We only kind of enjoy lobster, if you love lobster that's the dish for you! Service was excellent and we sat outside because it was a nice night and their patio was lovely. Fried chicken breast is an absolute MUST if you come here. Like life changing. read more

Terrible service! We arrived on time for a Christmas Eve reservation. After 5 minutes with no server, a waitress rushed by to say she would be with us shortly. She seemed to be busy at the front desk. After 15 minutes we asked the busboy to get our waitress. We saw him talk to her but still she did not wait on us. We got up and walked out. We told her we were leaving because of the horrible service and she just shrugged. Our Christmas Eve was ruined. We will never come back to this restaurant. read more

We came on a Sunday and enjoyed brunch on the covered patio. The lobster roll was good. It wasn't super flavorful, but I liked that it didn't have too much mayo and it came with chips. I really enjoyed the crabcake though. It was packed with meat and came on top of fresh corn. Overall, the food is a solid four stars. But, Angela, our waitress, was five stars! She is the best. read more

What a nice little gem in a shopping center! As you walk in the interior is lovely and though close, the booths are private. Our party of 4 shared 3 appetizers and all were excellent! The ricotta dip was outstanding and my wife and sister-in-law loved the buratta. I had the surf and turf ravioli, they were outstanding. My lobster was a little tough, but the beef ravioli and sauce was excellent! My wife had a lobster roll and it was overflowing with meat, but it was dry and the chips it came with had been cooked a little long so almost had a burnt flavor. We finished with one of the best pieces of key lime pie we have ever had! Our server was efficient. The food arrived quickly. Overall the meal was a success and we would love to try it again!! Just a few minor changes could really wow!! No joke about the key lime pie - it was stupid good!! To those about to dine, I salute you!! read more

Food was very good, & reasonably priced for Hilton Head. Tuna Two Ways was great - (beautiful presentation) London Broil was tasty (nice marinade flavor), Shrimp & Grits (shrimp w/o tails as it should be, brown gravy barbecue sauce) also tasty. Service was friendly & timely. Hidden gem! read more

Key lime martini is the bomb! Tastes just like a slice of key lime pie. The rim is dipped in graham cracker crust. Perfect cocktail for a hot day. We enjoyed all our dishes, generous portions. Lovely soft jazz music added to the ambiance. We will be back for sure. read more

We were there at lunchtime and decided to go in. The lunch menu has many choices and the price is good. My husband got the lobster roll( cold) and it was loaded with lobster and a large bun so more than the usual size. My fresh tuna sandwich was delicious too. I didn't care for the parmesan chipps and should have just said give me the chips and spare the parmesan cheese that they shake over the chips. There was one server for the whole place that was about half full including an outside areea but he was amazing. Even replenished our sodas without being asked. He was so good- servers like this don't come around often. We plan to come back for dinner soon. read more

First time at LuLu's and it was amazing!! I had the Lobster Roll. Undoubtedly the best I've had and I traveled to Maine years ago to eat as much lobster as I could. Hands down LuLu was better. Entire chunks of claw meat intact! And more from the tail. (Gushing!). I told my husband I could eat that every day! read more

Lulu is in a great location right near a mini golf course which was perfect for the family before heading to dinner at Lulu. The restaurant is beautiful and the staff was very friendly the three stars were solely for the food. As someone who grew up in the south and love a great shrimp and grits I was excited to hear it was one of the favorite. So, I ordered it, but it was soaked in a brown gravy which was super rich and took away from the main stars - shrimp and grits! However, others loved their salad and steak. So, maybe just order something other than the shrimp and grits. read more

We had lunch here today. The fried chicken sandwich with pimento cheese was outstanding. My wife had a beet salad, also excellent. Unfortunately we had no room for dessert, so we'll be back soon and start with desserts! Ha! Cute place and great service to boot. read more

A beautiful setting at the end of a strip mall with ample parking. The decor inside is beautiful. We tried to order the butter bread but unfortunately they had run out.

The staff was attentive and helpful. read more

Wow! Looking at the menu and the interesting mix of ingredients coming together that provides a world of taste you really are not going to find in many places locally -- if any -- I would call this a chef driven menu. I thought about getting the Seafood Salad - Scallop / Shrimp / Lobster / Lemon / Citrus Infused Extra Virgin Olive Oil to start, but I was actually saying to myself that it sounds too good to be true. Well, with someone else ordering it at our table, it was that good and it certainly was true! I, instead, ordered the Burrata - Grilled Peaches / Port Wine Reduction / Prosciutto / Crostini to start and was super happy with that. For dinner I thought about the Fried Chicken - Twin Breasts, Whipped Yukon Gold Potatoes / Sweet Corn / Cabernet Demi / Corn Bread but instead ordered the Short Rib Grilled Cheese - Caramelized Onion / Imported Provolone / Garlic Pickle / Parmesan Chips. I was happy doing that just because of the size of the entrée as the chicken would have been too much for me! I wish I had taken a photo of the Lobster Mac & Cheese side ordered for the table as well. The portion size was not only generous, but the lobster was perhaps the most plentiful I have ever seen for this combination. Bottom line, everything our table ordered was perfect and this place will be remembered as one of the best meals to be had in the Hilton Head Island area. read more

Saw the good reviews online and looked forward to a great meal--unfortunately, that didn't happen. The "starter" salads are huge -- entree size. Should never be listed as starters. The pear and Gorgonzola salad featured pears that were not ripe -- very hard. We were perhaps halfway through our salads and the entrees arrived-strange. My halibut was overdone - dry. My wife had the tuna over noodles. The noodles were so salty she sent the dish back-first time she has ever sent a dish back. The restaurant comped their "famous" key lime pie but we found it heavy and bland. Nothing like true key lime pie that you find in Key West. FYI-the bread at $8 (really??) had a consistency similar to cornbread. Overall, very disappointing and overpriced. read more

We can't put our finger on it, but despite all the great things we heard about this place it just didn't hit for us. We made reservations for dinner and sat in their semi enclosed porch. Aesthetically, this is a very pretty restaurant and the staff was very attentive and friendly. As a dinner spot - great for a date night, girls' night or families without very little kids. Brunch may be different? We ordered drinks while we looked at the menu. Maybe it was just an off night for us, but the dinner menu is small and nothing really spoke to us. We decided to split 2 appetizers and got the Spanish octopus ($22) and the seafood salad ($24). The octopus was grilled and had good flavor, but it was very sparse. The seafood salad was a heftier serving with a healthy variety of seafood, but we just didn't care for the dressing it was marinated in - it was a bit too sweet for our tastes. Bread is $8 for what looks like a medium sized muffin-looking "loaf", which was disappointing. The whole bill was as much as we spent at other same quality restaurants for dinners and a drink each. There was a large party sitting behind us and they were raving about their food, so perhaps we were the ones having an off night? Lulu was just a miss for us, but you should check it out and judge for yourself because it really is a lovely place with a nice staff and perhaps your experience will be more successful! read more

An outstanding find on the Island. Tried the popular choice of fried chicken dinner, which was delightful with a Cabernet sauce, accompanied by Brussels and mashed potatoes. Dining partner enjoyed the halibut. We both loved the house made bread appetizer, very much like a croissant. Key lime pie and banana "tiramisu" were good and service was solid. Will definitely be back to try other items. read more

Went for Easter brunch, which was a limited menu, which we didn't realize until they handed us a one-pager with only 10-12 options. Quaint little spot. I had the bacon cheddar chicken & waffle which was divine. Wife had the baked Virginia Ham and she liked it, as well. Couldn't figure out what type of vibe they were going for. Food was great, atmosphere seemed relaxed but also a bit stuffy. I'd like to go back when their entire menu is available. read more
