    Always a great little place for comfort foods, especially breakfast. Awesome diner with multiple locations. Food is great, service with a smile all the time. Great atmosphere for diner type food. Ambiance is is great for coffee or a meal.

    Lu Lu's Special. Three eggs over easy with wheat toast, think bacon, and home fries. Strawberry, blueberry, banana pancakes & smoked ham.

    We enjoy a good weekend breakfast. The hubs recommended we try a trip to LuLu's, in Lima and it didn't disappoint. You walk in to a very simple and clean dining room. There was one table available that needed bussed and within seconds of sitting down it was being cleaned. The staff were efficient and friendly. We got our black coffees and as daily coffee drinkers it takes a lot impress with a basic coffee. Well they did. There coffee is worth going back for on its own. Our meals were fast and hot even though they were at capacity our entire visit. LuLu's closes at 2:00; a true sign of a good, authentic diner.

    Awesome breakfast. Great value and portions. Visiting from out of state. Found on Yep but friend recommended. Definitely would return and highly recommend !!!

    The food was really good! The waitress was very pleasant and attentive. We paid 21$ for two meals and drinks, it is well worth it, the portions are huge. All the waitresses need to keep a better eye on the doors and greet customers more promptly, they lost a few angry customers while we were there. All in all a wonderful meal and we will return. Also Incase the owners read this, please consider replacing the styrofoam to go containers, they have a million year lifespan. A small paper or cardboard (pizza) boxes would suffice.

    Real hometown comfort food! Though the space is tight and there is self seating the atmosphere is homey. Amazing food , cheap , and cozy!!!

    Strawberry Banana waffles, A+!  Our order wasn't prepared right, they were awesome about fixing it.

    New location, new menu and great service. I always think of Lulu's first for Mexican cuisine in Richmond, Indiana.

A friend of mine recommended that I should try The Grind since he knows I am really into coffees, breakfasts and brunch. The morning I came to The Grind, was still frigid even though it was supposed to be spring. I was looking forward to a good cup of coffee and a good breakfast to warm my up. I brought my brother along because, I needed help carrying stuff for the shopping trip. There was no wait even though the place was beginning to fill up to capacity. We sat down and ordered our drinks. One thing I didn't like from the get go was that this place is almost siloed into a coffee shop and a cafe. There is an area in the front where people who want to get coffee to go can order, which is smart and efficient. But, when you sit down, you do not get a coffee menu along with your food menu. The coffee menu is located in the front which would either require you to get up to see what they have or just make a random order. We chose the latter and just asked for two white chocolate mochas. My brother ordered a breakfast skillet, while I ordered the Grind special. I added pictures of the menu to the review so anyone unfamiliar with these items can look them up. We waited quite a long time for the food, think it was about 30 minutes. You could tell they were understaffed. Eventually we got our food. My brother liked the skillet, i mostly liked my meal. The breakfast potatoes were bland and lacked any seasoning. The rest of my meal was good though. One thing we both did not like were the coffees. Usually when I go to a cafe they present the coffee to you in a certain way. They have some design made with foam on the coffee, not here. The coffee also was ok. The taste didn't wow me. Maybe the time we came it was just off because of how many people were in here. Still overall, I did enjoy my meal here.

    The outside looks like something from a 70s sitcom set…read more. The inside is dated, but I love the vibe! It was packed on a Saturday at 10:30 in the morning. But they move fast! We were sat in under two minutes, and had our food in less than 10. This place runs like a well-oiled machine. Some of the waitresses here had to be at least 60 to 70 years old, and it looked like they came with the building. I'm not saying that as a bad thing. Is it really a good diner if at least one of the waitress's hands don't shake a little as she sits down your plate? The portions are enormous... The pancakes are the size of a plate. We watched the food come out and everything looks really good. Our waitress was fast and friendly, can't ask for anything better. It was one of the best experiences I've had in a long time.p

The service was quick and the prices surely won't break the bank. Support small & local businesses! A+ We look forward to coming back as it's only about an hour and a half from home.

I love the no-frills vibe of the venue, staff and customers. My first impression? Dark! I arrived at noon:30 because a passing acquaintance mentioned Lombardo's having the best BPTS. The staff and regulars numbered five and were bantering about nothing at high decibel. I sat at the bar and grabbed a menu. It is a perfectly useful, simple, no-frills list of food and prices. The bartender/waitress was a tad slow to engage this newcomer, but finally got around to taking my order and delivering a glass of water. My second impression? Still dark. The BPTS arrived after the usual wait and was hot from the fryer. It comes with nothing, but the usual garnishes are available for an up-charge that seems a tad rich. $1 for a slice of winter tomato? Pass. $1 for a slice of cheese? Pass. $1 for a slice of onion? Pass. The bun was fresh and the pickle spear was beginning to trend from crisp and crunchy towards a hint of limp. I enjoyed the porky goodness and flashbacks to my childhood BPTS memories. Will I return? Probably. I hope that the kitchen will do breakfast-for-lunch. I am also curious about their hamburger ... $3.50, but the double hamburger is more than 2x the regular burger. What's with that?
