This place is definitely a diner but don't let the looks fool you. Had the jalapeño popper omelette and added ham and onion. Also added cheese and onion to the home fries. This was one of the best breakfasts I've had in a long time. Well worth the trip here from out of town. read more

It's been a while since I have been there, but I have been dreaming about the chocolate chip pancakes. The whip cream is beyond amazing... it's just dreamy!!! Thank you to the outstanding waitress Kelli who recommended them. I have to get back there soon. read more

Wow! Great food very reasonable prices and friendly staff! Very efficient and fast as well! read more

Really nice, clean diner with friendly servers. I am glad we stopped. Hot coffee. Do this!

Absolutely love coming here! I believe it is the best spot to grab breakfast in Lima. Prices are good for the amount you get. Personal favs are the Lulu's special or the strawberry waffle. Highly recommend adding things to your home fries (onions and cheese for me). Be prepared to wait if you come here on a weekend after 9am. Usually pretty good service even when they are busy. Ambiance is so-so, can be a little noisy when busy. read more

A coworker of mine recommended that I try this place. She said they have the best breakfast in town. I was a little sad to see that plates like the French toast do not come with any sides. Sides are almost $2 extra depending upon what you want to get. But even with the extras the price is still very affordable. Aside from that their pancakes are very good and huge! I do like the pricing compared to what you get on the "favorites section." I think I may come back for the biscuits and gravy sometime! read more

I did make it back to Lulu's Diner for lunch. Great sandwich choices and the food was hot off the grill. The atmosphere was the same, pick a seat and somebody waits on you in a short time. The staff is very friendly...that's a plus in my book because I have been to many restaurants that don't do that. I only have one complaint and it might just be dumb luck. I've been here four times and three of those times I received a coffee cup with food stuck on it. Needs to be cleaner from the kitchen side. read more

talk about hole in the wall. this place should be in tv, the food is excellent and the prices are beyond reasonable. The pancakes and waffles are the best ever, and the bacon is extremely big! best breakfast place I've ever eaten at. this is a must on a trip to the area. read more

Our waitress Haley did a poor job! Took 15 -20 minutes for some silverware & twice as long for water. Did not offer coffee warm ups. The French toast was ok, really thin pieces. read more

This place is always on my list of places to hit when we are in town visiting my in-laws! The last time I was there I had the eggs benedict and it was amazing. I've been craving it for weeks and nothing compares! The service has been super-friendly every time I've been there. The place itself is a bit small, so accommodating larger parties is doable, but if they're busy --expect a wait. In my opinion they are worth the wait! read more

Nice place, good and roomy. Place is clean. A little off the beaten path but worth it for a good diner meal. I went for breakfast, got the lulu Special. Filled me up and got me back on the road. read more

Amazing breakfast. Excellent service. THICK cut bacon, what else is better than that? Huge portions. I come to get my LuLu's fix every time I am in Lima. If you love hearty meals to start your day, this is the place to be. Clean bathrooms. Reasonable Prices. read more

This is my absolute favorite place to get breakfast! Today I took my grandma and two kids. They were getting a new POS system, something happened to our ticket, and our food took way longer than normal (they were extremely busy so I didn't think anything of it.) The waitress came over, as did the owner, and apologized and explained what was going on. The owner offered to pay for our entire meal but I explained that this was not necessary at all. He brought out some orange bread for us. Great owners, great waitresses, awesome cooks, great food, and over all a great place to bring the family :) read more

What a great find on our road trip that took us through Lima! I had the Lulu's classic (or was it the special?). Anyway, two eggs, thick bacon, thick sourdough toast, and the most delicious home fries since my dear old mother made them while I was growing up. Yum! My companion had the veggie omelet and he raved about his breakfast as well. Next time (And there will be a next time!) I'm going to try the bananas foster waffles! Decor is old time church basement-like. Would like to see an improvement there. Service was fast, courteous and charming. read more

Great spot - clean, service was just right- offered me hot coffee right away as I was there for breakfast - Food was served quickly and HOT - met some nice local Lima folks as well ! Eggs/bacon, and home fries ! read more

Four friends and I went to Lulu's today. We sat and waited 20 minutes without anyone approaching us, not even to get a drink order. We finally left. I have been there three times before. Although food never arrived fast, I always got a waitress pretty quickly to take my order. Even though I really like to support local businesses, I probably will not go there again. read more

On a road trip, came around the curve in the road and thought this looked like a good local spot. Ordered the patty melt and a cup of stuffed green pepper soup. 7.99 for patty melt and an extra 1.59 to have a cup soup instead of fries. In hind sight the fris would have been the better vaule. Soup was a total disappointment. No real taste except tomato. Very few chunks of green pepper and no rice at all. Patty melt was good, but needed two napkins to wipe off my greasy fingers. The booth next to me ordered breakfast it looked amazing. If I'm this way again I might try an omelet. Side note place is clean except carpet way over due for new flooring. read more

Lulu's Diner - Diners Near Me - Lima, Ohio

Although the food is amazing, they have the worst take out service I've ever experienced. I've had multiple times where they take your order, don't ask for a name and hang up. I've also had times where they say hang on and never come back to the phone. Don't get me wrong, they do have great food just terrible service. read more

Great omelet, fast and friendly service. Highly recommend! Place was clean and everyone was respectful of wearing masks and distancing. Delicious food! read more

Food was excellent, good portions and very flavorful. We had the popper burrito and popper omelet and they were both great. Service was very good, friendly and attentive. read more

Lulu's is a fantastic brunch restaurant where the food is well worth the long wait to be seated. There bacon is some of the best I have ever had! read more

Great diner. My wife and I eat here every Sunday morning. They have great food and definitely know how to cook even the basic breakfast of bacon and eggs. I recommend the banana foster French toast. Delicious!!! read more

Kept hearing about how good this place was for breakfast. They weren't kidding. Food is great and portions are filling. You won't leave there hungry. Waitresses are so friendly and attentive. Definitely have been back several times. They are always packed which is always a good sign. read more

I don't know what piece of heaven you all put in those home fried potatoes because they are beyond amazing. I took my three children for a Sunday brunch and loved every bite of the buttery toast and Vegetable Omelet with those delicious potatoes. The boys had the Mickey Mouse pancakes which were also delicious. We love Lulu's (we visited the Bellefontaine Ave location). read more

Lets hope they can get it together fast, this place has went from a breath of fresh air to cheap greasy rather eat at the waffle house trash. it seems the owner rather hire girls with artificial looks than actual serving ability. Hey your "trying to run a restaurant" serve you customers! Go back to where you started when you first opened in Shawnee; at this rate I give you less than a year! Good Luck! Honestly good luck! read more

Decent local breakfast food. Quite reasonable. Food is very American. Decor needs to be re-evaluated. It is an interesting alternative for breakfast or lunch, but I won't eat inside again. Perhaps rather take food to go. I wouldn't recommend the corned beef... It came out being closely related to tin food. Other options can be tasty. read more

So my 5 star rating is relative to other options in the area. We Travel here often to visit family and couldn't take anymore chain restaurant food (and that is the only other option). Lu Lu's is the best breakfast in town. Great home cooked meal, like your mom would make. The only place we go when were in town. Oh and their pancakes are truly the best I have ever had! read more

The best breakfast in Lima !!! Omelet amazing, eggs Benedict is awesome. The portions are Texas big. Great place, we will be back. Great atmosphere! read more

For Lima, this place is pretty good. It's always been packed every time I'm here and is fairly small and very loud. But the food makes it worthwhile. The egg's Benedict is delicious and the omelets huge. read more

Exceptional breakfast place. Generous portions and a wide selection. Would recommend to anyone coming through the area.

My husband and I have been talking about this place ever since we returned to California. The breakfast was SO delicious. We came go Lulus at the recommendation of the local airport staff (we were traveling across country in our small plane). Service was great, restaurant was cute and clean, but the food. The food was amazing. Everything was delicious and my husband and I found ourselves eating off each other plates. I especially recommend their waffles. (I got mine topped with Strawberries....YUM!! read more

Lulu's Diner - Diners Near Me - Lima, Ohio

It is OK, nothing special. Food is decent, taste good, nothing you would go have to go back for weekly. Confused by pricing, 3 eggs, Home Fries and Toast $3.99, I asked for sausage as well, waitress said that was the special so I was happy. Revived bill, $6.99, $3.00 for two sausage patties that seemed like they were baked instead of grilled, crazy. No parking, no real organization when it comes to waiting in line. Overall it was decent, just nothing special!! read more

My wife and I like to eat breakfast here. As these type of eateries go, it's one of the better places for breakfast/brunch. We moved from Lima 10 years ago. On our last visit to Lima, I was glad to see a place like we use to eat at years ago had sprung up. My sister in law took us here last time we were in Lima and we were impressed. Really, their is nothing special about the food. It's just good down home breakfast food. That's all it needs to be. The portion size is good as is the taste. They have a good size menu with many of the dishes you might want. The wait staff are attentive, and that's a plus as the place is most always packed. I've seen businesses come and go in the spot Lulu's inhabits. I think Lulu's will have a long history their. read more

I am a fan. Their Breakfast is a great value and great taste. Every time we go in, the owner (Amy) always greats us and makes my daughter special princess pancakes. The service is super friendly and the place is always clean. You have not had bacon until you have had theirs. If you are attempting to go on a Sunday, go early or prepare to sit and wait for a seat. Typically this would be bad, but is actually a reflection on how good it is. So go ahead and wait, it will be worth it read more

Stopped here at the recommendation of our hotel staff. Definitely a small cozy diner. Great service great food. my friend and I split the eggs benedict and the bananas foster french toast (we couldn't decide on which one to get) and it was amazing. It was the happiest eggs benedict ever (creative plating). The French toast was perfect! Worth a trip to Lima!! read more

Lulus was everything we hoped it would be!! We began our vacation with breakfast at Lulus!! The food was delicious and the service was unbelievable!!! One super hard-working server was waiting on all the tables!! She was friendly, efficient, and never made a mistake or forgot a thing!!!! I wish I lived close enough to be a regular; but I highly recommend and I will go back!! Awesome!! read more

I go to this restaurant every time that I am in town and the food is pretty good . There is one waitress that is just terrible and for some reason I have gotten her several times lately. I was in today and watched several tables get drinks and orders taken before my waitress came by and said oh yah coffee. I ordered a carry out and when it arrived I asked for my bill so it would be hot when I got it home. She waited on several tables and brought their drinks and then disappeared for at least 5 more minutes before even letting me pay. Last time I told her I needed a carry out and she stalled so long that when she came back I didn't even have time to wait for it. It's a shame that this is what you remember instead of the quality of the food. I must say that the other waitresses are very good and if you get one of them I would highly recommend this place. Worst thing is she acts like she may be a Manager. If you get a big blonde girl expect the worst. read more

Can't go wrong with anything on their menu! Best place to get breakfast but go early cause they get very busy! Terrific lunch combos and sandwiches/salads. Staff is very well trained and friendly! read more

Ordered the special, Bacon, eggs, country potatoes, and toast. Average portions and tasty. Better than the chains for breakfast but nothing to note to set it apart from other breakfast diners. Would eat here again as I've not really found any outstanding breakfast diners in Lima read more
