Breakfast Saturday morning. First time here, so when we walked in wasn't sure where to sit or wait to be seated. One server was on her phone and didn't say anything, so we asked the other server to get instructions. Once seated things started to flow. Ordered coffee which was good and refilled often. Pancakes were very good as was the breakfast bowl. That decor was very much just like a simple diner. The food was very good and I would be back. read more

Perfect breakfast dinner, Pancakes and potatoes were the best. Would fully recommend to anyone

Food was okay the cheesy potato is a hard pass. The server was nice. Clean dining room read more

Terrible. After Sunday church around noon. No order at all. We stayed in line to be seated and were not spoken to for Over 25 min. People were cutting in line and sitting down!! No one was cleaning tables and/or bothered to greet us. The food is good Here but this is intolerable and I won't be coming anymore !! read more

A small restaurant chain that knows its communities. I ordered the patty melt. It was probably a half-pound patty, properly grilled on the flat-top and served hot. I would have preferred more grilled onions ... Service is attentive and friendly. The dining room is not over-stuffed, so it is possible for customers and staff to move without any bump and grind. Dining room and restrooms are clean. Parking lot is a bit tight. Will I return? Absolutely, yes. read more

Lulu's Diner has been bookmarked to try for the last two years, and I finally got the chance to try. I love diner's and I especially love breakfast. I've heard this place does a great breakfast and has great eggs benedict. Those who told me this, were dead on correct! I came, I sat, and I ordered some eggs benedict one morning I was in the area. Service was quick and efficient, no complaints there. The place is small but comfortable. The eggs benedict were perfect, a little runny like i love it. Definitely will come back if I want some eggs benedict and don't feel like making them myself. read more

Don't expect them to add your name to their seating list and wait in your car for a table. They will seat people who wait inside first. Do yourself a favor, get back in your car drive to another Lulu's or another restaurant. The restaurant is not well maintained. The carpet looks like it's had a few grease baths. Not surprising considering table scraps are wiped off onto the floor to be ground in by food traffic. Food doesn't come out together. Everything we ordered was over or undercooked. Home fries, pancakes, grilled cheese, and steak undercooked. Toast was burnt. Silverware served wet after the food had time to cool. I stopped eating after a mouthful of uncooked pancake batter. The manager didn't even bother to come over. It's sad that our waitress was so let down by the rest of the restaurant. She was on top of her end. read more

Breakfast was delicious and great service. Also very reasonable in price. We ordered eggs, French toast, pancakes, fruit, bacon and sausages, and omelette. All very tasty. read more

We are originally from Lima and LuLu's opened many years after we moved away. When we visited this weekend, our hotel had free breakfast but we knew we wanted something more satisfying. I'm glad we chose LuLu's! The hubs had the corned beef hash. I had the traditional classic breakfast. They offer many ways to customize your home fries, including adding cheese, gravy, peppers, or jalapeños. The classic breakfast has choice of egg type, choice of meat, and choice of bread. I asked for eggs over medium and crisp bacon and both were delivered. The white bread is thick and grilled with butter. I could've just ordered the bread and been happy! Service was speedy and friendly. My coffee cup and husband's Diet Pepsi were always full. We will definitely come back to LuLu's when we need breakfast in Lima again. read more

Might be ok as a bar but a far cry from a restaurant. Place needs a good cleaning. During breakfast buffet there is no other food options. read more

first the place was not busy our table was sticky, took some time to get menu.waitress was nice food was under cooked plus they charge you .50 per egg on your order.so if you get lulu special its 10.00 something plus .50 per egg that $1.50 added to your price.should tell people first just in case. never again are we going back and will tell friends,not the proper way to run a resturant read more

A wonderful happy place! Good food, great pricing, fun, laid back, happy staff. They charge an extra dollar to split plates for orders which is a smart option! Fast friendly service. We so enjoyed the happy cook singing and dancing about a little while working. Just made you smile! History was a great read. Highly recommend. There needs to be more joy like this in business! read more

I should have left when the strong blast of odor (from carpet shampoo?) smacked me upside the head---but I had heard good things about this place. The frazzled waitress hurriedly wiped down my small booth with a too wet cloth, so the surface never dried. She didn't give any eye contact, nor did she smile when she asked in a disinterested monotone: "How are you? What do you want to drink?" The worst part was the food---a veggie omelet that was loaded with bacon grease and tons of goopy, gloppy cheese. The eggs were combined with the worst looking potatoes I've ever seen in decades of travel...undercooked, greasy, colorless discs. Even the cinnamon toast was slathered in grease! After I finally got the waitress's attention, asked for me check, handed her the cash with a 20% tip----I was able to get outside in the fresh air. I had barely touched the plate, but she didn't bother to ask why. She simply scooped up the money and off she went. This place is always busy, gets great reviews for the most part. Clearly, people like quantity over quality. Yikes. As someone commented: "A restaurant chain that knows its communities." read more

Delicious breakfast wonderful service and tons of food for a reasonable price. Will definitely be back read more

Food was only ok- lukewarm breakfast bowl and Caesar wrap was just meh... very cold inside everytime the door opened...

We were camping at Grand Lake St. Mary and couldn't go to our normal breakfast spot because of a marathon. Drove up here and came to LuLu's and I'm glad we did. The server was very friendly and attentive and the food was great. I particularly loved their toast and preserves. The toast is thick cut and they melt the butter in for you. It's served with strawberry preserves. Their home fries were also amazing. And the bacon is super thick. You get a lot of food for not a lot of money. read more

Great food and service. They will tailor the menu to your order (they're not afraid of substitutions). I've never had anything but a delicious meal served with a smile. read more

We found this place by pure accident. We were on our way to Nashville for a birthday. My wife said there's a place near here we should try. So off the highway we went and I'm so glad we did. This place is really, really good. We ordered the Bacon Jelly Burger, Rueben and a order of French toast. Everything we tried was just awesome. The Rueben was one of the best I've had on marble rye. The bacon jelly was out of this world. The funnel cake French toast was perfect. Whether traveling through or a local, I would recommend LuLu's thanks for the great food. read more

Busy noisy dinner in one location and quiet in the other. Both are near Jackson Center Ohio. Every time we go to Jackson Center to have our Airstream serviced, we go out to breakfast at LULU's. We have not been disappointed. The portions are huge and the food is good quality. The pancakes and omelets are our favorites. Staff is friendly and attentive. read more

Great food, good portions size, and fair prices! Two locations in Lima, same owners and menu. The Atkins Omelette and Western Omelette are not to be missed! Yum! Hubby and son love their pancakes! Short daily hours, no supper hours. You can get anything on the menu at any time if day so today I had an omelette for lunch! read more

Fantastic food, friendly staff. The sourdough toast and cinnamon raisin bread was fresh. Hidden gem!!! Also shout out to waitress Brandy.

Found this on Yelp . Nice little restaurant with good food. Definitely a " mom and pop " place.

Loved this spot. Got our order to go fun to watch the bustling energy. Great food and service. Friendly people!! Go there.

Haven't been for awhile. Went early, 8ish. Took a long time to get our order in, to get our food and to get our payment processed. Tried the biscuits and saysage gravy. Gravy was good but very, very little sausage in it. The biscuits we're meh. Husband got the Lulu's special. Said it was very good as usual. We will definitely go back. read more
