I went here on a random weeknight when no one cared to cook and we were willing to drive the 40 minutes to get here. My family and I ordered a crab cake, crab fries, buffalo, and thai chili wings. Sade waited on us while there. The first thing to acknowledge is that the service was absolutely fantastic. We had just walked in and were greeted by the nicest people. Initially, the crab wasn't an option as they had run out and weren't sure they would be able to get any more for the night. However, while we were standing there deciding our order, Sade confirmed that they had just received crab and would be able to fulfill our order. Additionally, because we drove from so far away, she offered her personal phone number to be able to contact her directly the next time we order from them to confirm the ingredients and order. She went above and beyond and Sade deserves all the kudos. To the food. Delicious. I'm assuming since the owners are originally from Maryland, the crab was on point. I refuse to order crab cake from anywhere other than Baltimore because most places mix it too much and/or cook it "wrong". Every single thing we ordered we ate and were satisfied - happy about our entire experience. I will definitely continue to be a customer. I appreciate the customer service and the food. Last thing to note; don't expect anything fancy. It looks like a shady greasy spoon but looks are deceiving. Go there and expect great service and delicious food. read more

Food is amazing. My go to platter is the fried shrimp, yams and mac and cheese. I enjoy every bite of my meal when I get it. There's so much food and so much flavor. The shrimp are pretty big too. I definitely can't eat all of my food in one sitting. I've been wanting to try their banana pudding but, they only serve it on select days and I always miss it. Price is fair. Ordered the shrimp platter and a lake trout platter yesterday and total came out to $28. For the amount of food you get I think it's worth it. Parking lot is small as others have said but they have plenty of space across the street so I'd opt to park there instead of cramming in the lot. Downside: they never answer the phone. It's about a 20 min drive for me and I know wait times can get long so I'd like to order ahead but you call and call and no answer. I reached out to their IG account and they said they're working on getting the phones fixed and starting up and online ordering system so I'll be looking forward to that. read more

I feel like I just discovered a Charlotte gem coming here. It was absolutely AMAZING. I saw someone on Twitter mention they had the best crabcakes in Charlotte and decided to come ASAP. It is right down the street from Cuzzo's (another amazing place) and it is a small restaurant in the corner of the street. Thankfully we came before the dinner rush hit so our wait for our food was only 10 minutes and there was plenty of parking. Everything we ordered was perfectly made, hot, and tasty. The crabcakes really are the best crabcakes I've ever had around here. The yams were delicious and not too candied which is how I like them. Their Mac n cheese is wonderful and so was everything else, I really have no complaints or much to say other than to try them for yourself. Make sure to try their special Lulu's sauce too. The banana pudding was sooooooo good. They use chessman cookies instead of nila wafers and I will never make banana pudding with nila wafers again. You'll definitely leave super full and satisfied. read more

Filthy dirty restaurant. Cook not wearing gloves or hair net. Food heavy with salt. Both my husband and I ordered the crab cakes ($33/ea) and woke up with swollen eyes from the sodium intake. I did eat sides, the crab cake was so full of seasoning I could hardly taste the crab. read more

Filthy facility. Sticky counters. Overpriced. Rice was crunchy. The attendants were ok. Not rude, so that's fine. You place your order, then they text you when it's ready. There's very little room to wait inside, so, you have to go sit in your car. Wings were tasty, but not good enough for a 2nd trip. I ended up throwing most of the food away. I'd never return, nor would I recommend Lulu's to a friend. read more

Sign indicated they open at 12noon. I arrived and parked at 11:58 & was told to go back out until noon. My head spun at that, but gave in. At 12:02 people came out of nowhere and lined up to order. Service: the first young lady that gave me the time they opened was a bit abrupt. I chalked it to youthful indifference. Only 1 cashier but they do take cash and cards which is a plus. The owner bagged my to go order and was sweet as pie giving me utensils and 2 different sauces. Food: those crab fries are to die for. Very flavorful znd the sauce kicked ir up a notch. Ordered chicken wings fried hard, seasoned and juicy. Got some veggie sides: seafood mac n cheese very creamy, cabbage which was ok and collards which had turkey wings but not enough vinegar. I will go back for sure and maybe do a shrimp or whiting platter. read more

Honestly, I have been neglecting writing this review because they had such positive feedback and reviews - I thought I was a one off. However, we were just not impressed with this place. Me and my man decided to have a lunch date and picked this place as our meeting place. Parking is insane. Apparently there is an empty lot across the street you can also utilize but I didn't find this out until afterwards. It would behoove the business to put a sign somewhere stating additional parking is available in the empty lot across the street. Once I'm inside I already knew I wanted shrimp and grits but apparently it was at least a twenty minute wait time. So I was not able to pick that. I looked over the menu and for someone who had never been before - it was hard deciding. The menu's don't have descriptions of what each item is and i had no idea literally what they were. So I was asking questions and you get tired of asking questions. So we ended ordering a grilled fish sandwich, chicken wings with fries, fried shrimp with cabbage and mac and cheese. Our food took a long time to come out. A big group that came in about 7-10 minutes after us, had some of their food before we even had one of ours. I was pretty upset. They did apologize for our food taking so long, but that's not right. Especially since they came in after us. The order of chicken wings had four wings and a heaping amount of fries. The four wings - I wish I had taken a better picture, but two were completely baby size and the other two were normal size. Talk about mad. And the chicken itself had a weird flavor. Someone in another review said, maybe it was there grease. But I was there for lunch and if there chicken tasted like because of grease that early in the day, honey we got a problem - so let's hope it's not that. Anyways, we got said chicken wings because I wanted to try their Mumbo sauce with it. But being from the DMV area, eh - I was not impressed. It's very ketchup based and was not that great. Because our food took so long, me and my man only ate the chicken and fries and took our remaining food to go. When I got back to work, I tried the fried shrimp and yellow rice. My rice was hard and undercooked but decently flavored. I just couldn't eat it. The shrimp was okay but honestly I just wasn't impressed. It didn't have the bang of flavor I was looking for. I never even ate my cabbage or mac and cheese. My man said the mac and cheese was okay but I was underwhelmed with my other food, I simply had no desire to even try the rest of mine. It's a sad day when I don't even try to finish my food. read more

I finally got to try this place last night! I tried going when the article in the Charlotte Agenda came out raving about their Crab Cakes but the line was just too long. I made sure to call ahead last night for a pick up. It was a Thursday night around 7:30PM. Food was ready within 20 minutes! I ordered two Crab Cake platters. Each platter comes with two sides. Their Crab Cakes lived up to the article! I LOVE seafood and theirs is the best I've had so far in Charlotte. There was so much crab meat. It is a little pricier - at $25 a platter (MP at the time) but you do get a lot of food. I had to finish the platter in two different sittings. The sides I tried were greens, mashed potatoes, Mac & Cheese, and yams. I loved all, but the yams. They were a little too sweet for me. I highly recommend the mashed potatoes. It was so buttery and flavorful. The building is located near Lucky Dog in Wesley Heights. The parking lot is very small but you can park around on the street. You order at the counter and they have a few tables inside for dine in. I can't wait to try their other food! read more

This popped up on my Yelp search while I was looking for a new place to check out. This spot has a tight parking lot but that is not stopping customers from walking in to check it out. I walked in and I was warmly greeted by 2 ppl. I loved that they was playing my type of music...urban jazz. It does has some seating...5 high tops and 3 4 top tables. They even have Street Fighter arcade game in here. They are brand new, and mostly everything is cooked to order. Save time and call ahead. I glanced over the menu and saw some goodies. Judging from the crab cakes and mumbo sauce, they gotta be from the Maryland area. I was glad to see lots of hair nets and gloves on the staff. The owner came out and and checked on the customers. You can tell he was busy, but he was everywhere. I ordered the crabcake and shrimp, and I was delighted to have a choice of the shrimp grilled or fried. I chose grilled. It comes with rice. My 2 sides were greens and yams. I wanted asparagus, but I didn't want to pay extra. I waited almost 40 minutes for my food. I saw somone else order the crab cake and specialty lemonade like me, and she got her food before me. Little did I know, it was mine. When I was called to counter that my food was ready, I asked for my Kiwi Strawberry Lemonade. I was told strawberry was all out. I told them I ordered it when I paid over an half hour ago. So the food and drink they gave out recently should have went to me. The owner Jay apologized and said he thought I was already taken care of. He wanted to refund my money but I refused. I told him I know it can be hectic the 1st week open. I got my food and a regular lemonade, (which costs $1.70 less than what I paid for) and it looks good. Jay offered me some homemade sauces. I took his Special Sauce. I challenged him to make a spicy sauce. He took me up on that! He asked me to please come back, and call him before I come. He offered to take care of my next meal. I thanked him and I left. There were small things that could be addressed, like the front door not closing all the way. That can lead to bugs,etc. Also, having someone making sure the dining area is consistently cleaned. And to get the ceiling fans cleaned. There are some old cooler doors in the lobby. I hope in the future they can find some creative way to decorate them. I would give 3 stars, but the taste of the food moved it to 4 stars. Only the yellow rice was a tad bit salty. Everything else was on point. I'm sure I'll call Jay to place a future order. read more

Yams were bland like fresh out the can bland, Mac and cheese..... bland, fish tasted like they just threw it in flour and thats its. Shrimp was overcooked The best thing I had was the cornbread everything else wasn't no flavor at all paying over $10 for a plate should be a federal crime! Don't waste your money read more

I should've took better pictures but I was too excited to start eating. I was in the area after taking a long trip to Ikea and I have been wanting to try this place for a while. When I get there the parking lot in front of the store and the side parking lot were both packed! Inside there was a line but it moved fast. My friend and I waited in the car about 40 minutes for our food but when we got it we were definitely satisfied. The guy working there apologized for our wait and gave us complimentary desserts. (The Apple cake was AMAZING) The platters come with yellow rice and 2 sides. The portions are more than enough and we both had plenty of leftovers. The star of the menu is definitely the crab cake! It was huge and there was so much crab meat. I would definitely try more of the menu on my next trip back. If you do come here don't pass on the crab cakes! read more

When I arrived at the location and walked in they stated they didn't have any salmon at the moment, And some was coming soon. I left and came back like 3 times until they finally got some. When I opened my box I seen they gave me THE smallest piece they could find out the box. The salmon was alright but it was dry. The rice wasn't soft and the mashed potatoes wasn't thick enough. Almost like a soup. read more

Visiting the area and craving seafood for lunch. Food was made to order and worth the wait (order ahead, if you are really hungry). We were offered drinks due to the wait (about 20 minutes): lemonade and 1/2 & 1/2. Both could have used a bit less sugar. We enjoyed the music that was playing, while we waited. I ordered whiting fish, lump crab and grits. My husband ordered Lulu's steak & shrimp hookup. Both portions were rich and plentiful and we could not eat them in one sitting. The hook up comes with broccoli, rice, strips of beef, seasoned shrimp and a sauce. Delicious flavors but a tad salty. There were two large pieces of fish over my grits. The grits, sauce and lump crab tasted amazing. I added the lump crab when asked and I'm glad it was suggested! We spoke with the owner who said the restaurant has been open for two weeks and they have already outgrown the location. Small parking lot in need of repair, about 10 tables with fresh painted walls. Service was friendly and restroom was clean. read more

Decided to try this spot while in Charlotte. I wanted the crab cake but they were out. I got the lump crab and shrimp instead. The fried shrimp was great!! The crab meat was fresh.

While visiting home I like to try new places with my mom. So my family members said this was a great place to try. Cons: They were out of the recommended items (crabmeat/poundcake) but we went for the shrimp platter with mac and cheese and yams. The wait time was crazy long. Especially for just fried shrimp, ordered placed at 12:47, food out 10 mins shy of an hour. It wouldn't be so bad if the cashier didn't say 15-20mins, she should've just said 30mins or more for the wait. Pros: the food was good but the wait kind of turned me off a tad but I'm willing to try it again; hopefully the full menu will be available to try. read more

Arguably the best soul food spot in Charlotte. I've had the fried chicken platter as well as the Honey Old bay and Honey BBQ wingettes. LISTEN, every single time it SLAPS!!! I don't even know which is my favorite because they are all elite lol. The yams are very good!! If you don't like super sweet yams you may not like them though. The greens are great Cornbread was amazing Garlic mashed potatoes elite. All platters are served on a bed of yellow rice and the rice is cooked to perfection. Honestly what sets this place apart to me is, it taste like you're at your grandma's house. The food taste like it was cooked with love (IT IS A DIFFERENCE). I love everything about this place down to the old school R&B jams that play while u wait for your food (and u WILL wait because there's ALWAYS a line). Place your order online if possible. Get both their special sauce and the mumbo sauce, don't forget! Yum! You will not be disappointed here. I've been over 5x now and i will soon be a regular since it's 5 minutes from my house lol. read more

Day two, stop number two on our Girls Trip itinerary and we are headed to LuLu's Maryland Style Crab Cake so this had better be good since you have 4 Marylander's here to see what all the fuss is about lol. LuLu's is located in an area of town that you would not expect the restaurant to be. When we arrived, we parked and decided how to tackle the very long line outside. We are definitely thinking ... this must be good!! We divided and conquered and sent 2 in to place the orders. We ordered 3 crab cake dinners, crab fries and I ordered fried shrimp. So lets talk about these dinners because I didn't know what to expect. -- Crab cake comes on a bed of yellow rice and you get 2 sides, Mac and cheese and yams. Definitely NOT a Maryland style crab cake. Way too much filler and wasn't grilled golden brown, it looked a bit uncooked. The sides were very good, just too heavy for a crab cake dinner. -- The fried shrimp comes on a bed of rice and the 2 sides were Mac and cheese and cabbage. Couldn't go wrong with this one, everything was good -- Crab fries were good but lacked crab topping My opinion of LuLu's is it's a soul food restaurant that claims to have the best Maryland style crab cake. Other than that deception, the food is good and I can see why they would have a line because they have a soul food menu. I just hate when restaurants say MD style crab or crab cakes and it doesn't live up to it. I'm glad we tried it but I think some additional veggies on the menu would be a nice addition. read more

Yummy, Yummy in my tummy! Finally got to try LuLu's after a few failed attempts because the line was too long and I'm so glad and I'll go back. The place is a bit divey and could probably use a good once over but it's these types of places that have killer food. Ordering was hard because I wanted to try so many things. I decided on the crab fries, the Baltimore a lemonade and iced tea drink and my daughter got the fried shrimp, yellow rice, cornbread, grits and a fruit punch drink. The fries on the crab fries were hot, crispy and fresh with plenty of crab meat for the price and yummy sauce drizzled all over. So good. My daughters shrimp was perfectly seasoned and fried, the rice was well, rice but the cornbread and grits, OMG, yes! The grits would have been even better if they were hot. We ate in the parking lot so they didn't have time to cool down so they just weren't served hot. Her drink was pretty tasty as well and when we got home she took the leftover, added some water and it was still good because it's so concentrated and sweet. I can't wait to go back and try the wings, crab cakes and some other things. Definitely go between lunch and dinner to avoid the crowds. A gem in the city of Charlotte. That is all! read more

Ate dinner before a concert at The Milestone Club. Amazing food! Menu selection is a plus. Lots of options. Although prices may initially surprise, the food quality justifies the price. Crab cakes were out of this world. Salmon was very good. Sides were macaroni, collards, sweet potatoes, and cornbread. All very good. Dessert was limoncello cake--spectacular. Inside was a little hot, but there is outside seating to the right. Service was very good. When picking up the order, the server opened the containers and proudly displayed the food--ensuring the accuracy of the order, while showcasing the quality of the food and ample portion size. Highly recommended! read more

The construction in west Charlotte can easily take you right past this place, but no worries! The construction workers have let me drive through. I ordered fried shrimp with rice, collard greens and cornbread. Shrimp- 2/5. Good flavor with my sauce at home, but no flavor otherwise. Greens- 3/5. Decent. I could eat again. Cornbread- 5/5. Perfect sweetness. Definitely stole the show. My friend got the salmon and it was delicious and flavorful. I'd come again to try something new! read more

So, Maryland style, really? YEA REALLY. This is the real deal. I met the owner Jay. He knows crab cakes. So first look, you think huh. This place is a hole in the wall. Yea. Those are my favorite. The reviews were good. Should I try it? Oh hell yea you should. You will miss a great meal if you just try to judge a book. I ordered the spice chicken and my friend ordered the catfish. We also got the crab French fries. (See picture). OMG. I could have just eaten the crab fries. That was some awesome lump and plentiful. Everything we got tasted so good. This is quickly going to be a Charlotte favorite place. This place survived the year of covid and is going to be opening some new locations. That should tell you something. Stay tuned. The staff was really nice and they greeted everyone with a big "Welcome to Lulu's. There were two girls that came in behind me and it was their first time also. They also commented about how good the food was. You gotta try this place. Guaranteed you will love it. I recommend it. Thank you Jay. It was a pleasure to me you bother. read more

Had the awesome pleasure of finally trying the oh so popular Lulu's!!! My friend and I ordered takeout and enjoyed it safely at home. It. Was. So. Amazing! We ordered the honey old bay wings, Mac and cheese and fries. Super fat with the double carbs right? Triple if you count the yummy bed of rice underneath the wings! Ha! But sometimes you gotta go all out! The wings were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Nice and hot and crispy! I dipped them in a sauce they provided, didn't catch the name of the sauce but it was a sweet chili type deal. I absolutely needed more than one sauce because it was so also scrumptious! The Mac was so tasty too and I'm a Mac snob. It was seasoned perfectly and so creamy gooey good! My goodness! I can't wait to go back and try other food from the menu because this meal was perfection! Definitely a Lulu's fan! Cannot wait to try more! read more

Got a late flight to Charlotte and wanted some soul food at 10p. This placed popped up on Google Maps and said it closed at 11p so I came through. I was kind of hesitant because most Soul Food spots don't open that late and a few websites and their Instagram page said they closed at 10p. I got there, the "Open" sign was lit up so I pulled in. The parking lot is very small. The cashier, Iesha, was extremely nice and very upbeat. She explained all the food options for me since it was my first time there. I ordered the Whole Wing platter with rice, Mac and cheese, and yams, the 7oz crab cake, and sweet tea. I wanted banana pudding too but they were out. Food took about 20 minutes to prepare. The crab cake was good but I was chewing on shells and that killed the experience. It was nice to know I had fresh crab but that's like eating an omelet and you're crunching on egg shells. I actually was spitting shells out and actually unintentionally ate a few. The fried chicken in the platter was good and the wings were huge and meaty. The yams were sweat and cooked just how I like. However, though that Mac and cheese and rice looked appetizing, it was actually very bland to me. It's like it didn't have any taste. I thought I had COVID for a minute because I ate the Mac first. I don't say that to be funny but that's exactly what happened. I sipped that sweet tea and realized that my taste buds were just fine because boy that tea was sweeeeeet. It was good but not worth $5 for that cup. I gave two stars because for the price I paid for that plate, it should have been A1. I paid over $50 for that meal and I definitely felt cheated. read more

Lulu is a to go spot for seafood. Everyone was super friendly and helpful. You can place your order on line I believe is what it said at register or you can order and wait at LuLu's. We had the shrimp and grits, fried shrimp and Maryland crab cake platter. Shrimp n grits was ok, shrimp was fresh it was a little heavy on the sauce. Least favorite of my plates. Fried shrimp was good, perfectly battered and was not greasy. Mac n cheese was a little of the dry side. Crab cake by far was my favorite. Lots of crab meat and fresh. Also had the pink lemonade it was very refreshing. Highly recommend for good food and service. Be prepared to wait in line outside, no dine inn service. Pick up ONLY read more

Due to COVID, this place is only doing takeout, but have made their service above and beyond. Greeted with a friendly atmosphere, all takeout orders were placed in the restaurant and then your order was then hand-delivered to your vehicle. I ordered the spiced shrimp. Delicious with lots of flavor. Decent sized shrimp sitting on a bed of rice. The fries are what you expect of fries, and the Mac and cheese was good, but felt as though I got the last bit of it from an old batch. Nonetheless, it was still good. The second order was the crab cakes at MKT price with garlic mashed potatoes and yams. It was great, but not too much crab. Great as a "I'm glad I tried it" kind of meal. Overall the meals and experience were excellent and would recommend to my family, friends, and all the other locals. read more

We recently visited because we heard great reviews about this place. We almost didn't make it because they were doing road construction and the detour said road closed.

What we ordered: Fried chicken wings, yams, mac-n-cheese Crabcake & fried shrimp platter with greens and cornbread This Black-owned establishment is take-out only so be prepared to eat in your car or at home.

So I ordered this food from DoorDash after having a long day and wanting to end it on a high note. I was quite disappointed by my food, and my Photos reflects what I thought I was ordering versus what I actually got. I thought I was gonna get a nice chunky crabcake, but I believe what I got was just leftover crab at the end of the night. My sides were good very flavorful. The candy yams were literally like candy. So, if that's your thing, you would definitely enjoy them. But the crabcake, which is not cheap, was supposed to be the star and they let me down. I did reach out to them on their social media to express my disappointment on my food, and whoever was handling their social media, Account was very nice and very accommodating, they took accountability as they were going to make it right not sure how because we never got to that part. We were kind of playing phone tag but overall I will give them proper credit for not blowing me off and actually taking the initiative to want me to be pleased. But I do still want to be truthful in my review and share my experience and encourage you to have your own. read more

I recently moved to Charlotte and with so many positive reviews Lulu's has been on the top of my "To Try" list. There is a great deal of construction going on in the area so my first attempt at tasting Lulu's was thrawted but I returned on the weekend and avoided the construction and congestion. Lulu's is a small takeout restaurant located on the corner of Berryhill Rd and Tuskaseega Rd. There was a line of at least 6 people ahead of me and a few others inside waiting on their order. (Despite the line I ordered and recieved my meal in about 20-30 minutes) Apparently, there is a nationwide crab shortage and Lulu's posted for all to see at the entrance. I placed my order of grilled salmon and shrimp with Mac n Cheese and Yams. Platters comes with yellow rice. I requested that Cajun Cream sauce be added to my order, cost an additional $3.50. The counter person who was very nice showed me my order number and told me to return in ten minutes to pick up the order. Somehow my order was given to someone else but the counter person offered a free cake for the inconvenience. Lulu's offers an ample serving of their dishes. The platter can serve more than one person or provides enough leftovers for the next day. I was pleased with the effort of customer service and serving size but a bit to be desired in the taste area. The mac n cheese was bland to me, I won't say that yams were from a can but they are similar in texture and taste of canned yams. I ordered the cajun sauce and had hoped that would have given a spicy kick but it didn't give much flavor at all. Definitely not spicy at least. Lulu's is known for their crabs so I will give another try once crabs are readily availabe. read more

The crab cake is delicious but if your on a budget you may want to ask what the market price is before ordering, when I went it was close to $30 for a the crab cake and shrimp combo. The shrimp are nice and crispy and the crab cake is jammed packed with meat! It should be noted that the shrimp are highly seasoned. The seafood Mac and cheese and yams are flavorful and delicious! If your leaning toward Mac and cheese I suggest doing the up-charge for seafood Mac and cheese, it's about $2 and so worth it! Now, the only thing I had an issue with was the rice. I don't know if I got the bottom of the pan or if the rice was old but it had hard bits of rice in it. It made it hard to eat. I suggest checking to see that your rice fresh before leaving. Despite this, I do suggest giving this place a shot! It's really great! read more
