Lobster Benedict
Summey F.

Brunch with my mom and dad! We sat outside even though it was pretty hot but the deck was really nice. My dad ordered the breakfast plate and pancakes with blueberry compote. He enjoyed his meal but we both agreed the blueberry compote tasted funky. The pancakes without compote were yummy! My mom had an omelette and she really liked it as well. I had the lobster Benedict and wasn't a huge fan tbh. There were canned peach slices on it which was such a weird combo. I'm all for a crazy food combo but it just didn't work. I also need to stop doing seafood Benedict's... they just are not for me!!! The breakfast potatoes were good and the cornbread was too but Benedict was not :/ service was good and staff was attentive.

Fried chicken sandwich
Susan R.

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!

Beautiful ceiling
Tracey D.

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.

Shrimp and Grits made with Worcestershire sauce.  Not a good combination.  Sauce was awful!
Mary A.

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.

Pork chop

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.

Golden beet and citrus salad
Nicole D.

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.

1st time here, and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. The Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake made w/Super Amazing Love by the Owner is way freking delicious! If you desire Cheesecake Factory and wish to save a 2 hours, Jacksonville Florida drive well COME ON DOWN to Hilton Head SC. Of you're in Savannah area for sure. Make your way down yonder over here @ Lulu's Restaurant. The salad was Oooh'Yeahhh OooouWee Good! The Lobster Sandwhich was Hut the Darn'it Table Smacking OooouWee Goodness Good! The Wagamu Burger w/Bacon & Onion Ring on Top was BombDiggedy Wondrously On Point. Well... Coodo's to the chef up in there and Lulu... Real name unknown. Girl, you go, hunny! You duh Bomb Scoop Dear!

Flounder was very good, with very generous portion. Chips were also good. Would recommend for lunch or dinner!

At peak tourist times and dining times (summer, holidays, etc), often a 1.5 hour wait. Non peak season, you can usually get seated right away! Love that you can order sushi rolls and a variety of entrees--big menu. Kids get to choose a prize at the hostess stand after their meal. Also there's a shared playground with Dockside (pirate ship). New--they now have a separate ice cream shop! You can watch the forklift/boatlift haul boats in and out...kinda fun. They also have a gift shop. 5 stars!

It came with crinkle fries, cole slaw, and hush puppies. Cole slaw was perfect. Fries reminded me of a school cafeteria, but the seafood was the best we've had on the island in several years coming to HHI. Hubby got the catfish. (My dinner was better:) I also got a bowl of their seafood chowder. It was excellent ! View is beautiful. Seats inside are a bit uncomfortable and wicker-like. There are so many tall chairs in the bar area for seating, the only comfortable seating for folks that don't want to get up on a chair like you're riding a horse, I would recommend either one of the very few booths they have inside or the outdoor seating. They had live music that night. Our server was very nice and checked on us often. The manager also checked on us, which is also a good practice. I also told him how much we were enjoying our meal.

Lowcountry Backyard was one of those places that feels like it's been there forever in the best…read morepossible way. Quirky, unpolished, a little tucked away, and absolutely full of character. It doesn't feel corporate or manufactured at all. More like you've stumbled into somebody's lovingly chaotic backyard dinner party where the food just happens to be genuinely top-tier. The mismatched charm, handwritten feel, and warm atmosphere are part of what makes it so special. There's this brilliant contrast between the laid-back hole-in-the-wall vibe and the seriously refined cooking coming out of the kitchen. We started with the fried green tomatoes which were incredibly tender, fried perfectly, and drizzled with a lovely house-made ranch. The sweet house pickles alongside were such a good touch. We also each had a cup of she crab soup which was beautifully seasoned and packed with tonnes of crab morsels. For mains, we shared the shrimp and grits and completely understood why the recipe has won awards, including being recognised as the 3rd best in the world. The recipe is rooted in traditional Lowcountry cooking but elevated with layers of flavour that somehow still feel comforting and homemade. The grits were unbelievably creamy, and the shrimp and sausage were perfectly cooked with fantastic flavour throughout. We also split the seafood purloo with blackened grouper, and it was equally impressive. Everything was cooked perfectly and tasted incredibly fresh without trying too hard to be fancy. What really made the experience though was the staff. Everyone went above and beyond. They took time to chat with us about the area, paced the courses perfectly so nothing felt rushed, and by the end we were leaving with handshakes feeling more like guests than customers. Places like this are getting harder to find. We'll absolutely be back and would recommend it to anyone looking for authentic Lowcountry food served by genuinely wonderful people.

Disappointing. The reviews were stellar, the food was not. The derive was good, but that's kind of…read morewhere it ended. Except for the fried green tomatoes- those were very good, dipped in blue cheese dressing (ranch was bad, tasted like plain mayonnaise with a parsley sprinkle) The pimento cheese appetizer was so disappointing! Tasted like cream cheese mixed with packaged shredded cheddar and 3 small pieces of raw red pepper; served with stale corn chips and uninspired pita. Was so looking forward to good homemade pimento cheese in the south! The grouper sandwich was sad, my friend only ate the fish and left the bun and tomatoes on the plate. The mac and cheese was even sadder, described as baked mac and cheese it was more like old leftovers, cold, separated noodles that were really dry. The shrimp blt salad- the aforementioned fried green tomatoes were the best part. The bacon was cold and floppy and kind of unchewable. It was served on wilted arugula. I'm so confused by all the rave reviews! Maybe this was a one off.

They have huge windows, so even sitting inside you get a great view. For drinks, we all had The Ultimate Bloody Mary. It's delicious and comes with bacon and shrimp, only $12!

Service was friendly except for one thing that I'll get to later. Apps that were loved were the spicy fried shrimp with really spicy slaw- delicious! The brussels sprouts were fantastic, well cooked with a great Parmesan sauce- even the little kids fought over that plate. Calamari was too chewy for my taste. The baked oysters were well liked by those that eat oysters~ I'm not one of them. Fried seafood platter was excellent. And crab cakes got rave reviews. Everyone enjoyed their meals. The green goddess salad could've used more dressing but otherwise was presented beautifully and was very yummy. Hiccups included a wedge salad ordered with balsamic instead of blue cheese came smothered in blue cheese, and a kids filet that was ordered medium and came out way too rare. Service hiccup was trying to tell us it was the lighting and not actually undercooked, but no, it was red and uncuttable. Salad was replaced and meat was re-fired so everything was fine. All in all would recommend, and definitely come back.
