I used to go to this place a LONG time ago for a period of about 4-5 months. Every Saturday. (And an occasional Friday) It was one of those places that felt like a pleasant stroll through a simpler time. An old-school diner type-vibe and I liked it. Prices were reasonable, food was good, and staff were mostly nice. Felt like I fit in as a regular right away. I liked the old box TV's in the corner and the sound of the grill. I'm not even one for hotdogs, not a fan to be honest. However, I decided to try the namesake and was surprised by how good it was. I was even convinced to get another one on my first visit. I tried multiple things each week, and was pleased with all of it. Then one day, I was surprised in another way. They had hidden a loose body part under my burger. It was so disappointing. I walked out and once I was behind the building, I gave it the old "Ehh!" gesture by brushing my hand in the direction of the place. That signaled the end of my quarter-year patronage. A few months later, I was at a different eating establishment on the other side of town. And one of the employees from Lulu's walked in and said: "So you're not getting hotdogs tonight, huh?" I was dumbfounded. I couldn't believe it. First off, they were closed at the time, and secondly, I don't appreciate scraggly surprises in my food. (Now to be fair, the place I was in that night ALSO gave me a fuzzy memory to last a lifetime, but that's beside the point.) So if you decide to go here, make it a regular haunt, then suddenly stop going for three months, they'll stalk you and mock your new culinary preferences. Or maybe it was just me they did that to. Regardless, I haven't been back and it's been over ten years. Needless to say, I'm not going to be pressing my tuxedo or sewing any buttons on my vest anytime soon, as I'm not worried about looking my best, because I don't care that Lulu's back in town. I'm not returning. read more

First time there. Recommend by a friend. If you liked Tony's Hotdogs back in the day than this is about as close as you are going to get. Staff was exceptionally nice. Would recommend read more

Excellent food everything we tried has been great! The staff is all welcoming and does a great job. The restaurant is always clean.

The service was good. It's a busy place for lunch. A lot of locals go there. The staff are friendly. Moderately oriced.

Friendly staff, makes you feel welcome. Food is fairly quick, but can be busy at times. Would recommend.

Love this little place it gives old time diner vibes. The food is always excellent and the service is fast and efficient. If you are in the area and looking for lunch this is a must try. read more

Best hot dogs and hot sausages in the area! Everyone that works there is so friendly. Highly recommend

Second time eating here and the food is amazing.the staff here is very accommodating with many different options. You gotta get here before noon, because it would be standing room.Only cause the food is so amazing. read more

Whether you get a tough skin all the way or you go for the all-beef boars head, you will be happy. Everything is excellent including the service. There are about five tables and then the rest is counter and stools--so the place isn't huge, but it moves quick. We had 3-All the tough skins, 1 boars head with chili and mustard, and a loaded navy bean soup. Couldn't have asked for a better lunch. Oh...the fries are heaven!!!! read more

This was the first time I've been to this restaurant, and I was truly impressed . I got to the restaurant about 1230 and the place was packed, and understand why. If you ever need a break from overprices food and bad service -you need to come to Lulu's... the 1st thing thang stood out when I walked threw the door, was the cleanliness of the restaurant, and noticed all the people were smiling. Then I looked at the grill, and I almost lost my mind l found the holy grail. Oh and one more thing, the service was impeccable.. read more

I love a good beef "HOT"! Lulu's is my new spot! The customer service was off the chain ‍. Very polite & welcoming. I also love the bar seating and "old school" atmosphere! One "suggestion".... Add Stella &/or Heineken Light (Corona Light will work too). I'll be back to try that burger ! read more

The French fries taste like used cooking oil that cook everything the hot dog was over cooked was not happy at all you can smell the restaurant on your clothes someone ask my wife had she been cooking she told my wife she smell cooking oil it wasn't funny read more

I love this place and the service is something to behold. the Hot dogs are great and so are the Cheeseburgers, and the fry's are just right.I have eaten there a few time now and it is like this every time i go. I am getting off here and going there now. Thank you to all the girls that work there. read more

Nice folks that work here! I've been wanting to try this place and now that I have I can say it was good. The hot dogs were of quality, I had a polish sausage and it was good, but it's just good. Nothing really stood out to me. I was totally shocked by how little of hot dog toppings they offered as well. They have some different ones like nacho cheese and sauerkraut but I was expecting a vast selection of toppings because it is a hot dog place. Also on my polish sausage I expected it to be topped pretty heavily with my toppings like with big grilled onions and lots of relish but I had to ask for extra. They go very light. read more

Lulu's Hot Dogs - Polish dog - Hot Dogs Near Me - Chesapeake, Virginia

Really like this place. Food is always good and the service is sometimes good. I usually go there at least once a week. Unfortunately,too often,as happened to me today,you walk in,sit down,one or more servers look you right in the eye and then go wait on someone who came in after you. This happened to me less than a hour ago and I got up and walked out. Not going to spend my money when I'm treated poorly. By the way,they weren't even that busy. read more

I have been going to Lulu's for many years. The staff really hustles at this small establishment. The owner is often there and also works right beside the other ladies. They always welcome everyone, whether you call in an order or when you come in the door. They have a good menu for the type of business they have. Hot dogs and hamburgers seem to be the biggest seller but they also have BBQ, bean soup which I have heard is very good, french fries, delicious homemade chili. No one can compare to theirs. Their chili cheese fries are very good. They have different types of sausages and foot long dogs which many places don't carry. I have never had a bite of anything that wasn't fresh and tasty. If you go btw 1145 and 115 you may have to wait a little bit. They also have seating at the bar which is nice to sit at. You can watch the young lady who runs the grill cook and see how efficiently they all work together. I highly recommend trying Lulu's if you want a tasty lunch in a comfy and clean establishment. read more

I want to sob. I didn't think hidden gems existed anymore. Please go here if youre looking for a quick bite but also insanely tasty. Staff is so friendly. Small secluded spot with a bar and tables for four. read more

Great food, prices and service! Can't beat it. Give it a try, does get crowded but once you try it you'll see why.

Hands down the best hot dog place in the area. The good: Food It is amazing and you are not limited to hot dogs. It is all good. I recommend the chili cheese foot long. Amazing. Be sure to specify if you want nacho style cheese. Staff: If you want to go somewhere where you are an old friend from the very first visit this is your place. Staff is laid back and friendly, but also prompt and attentive. The bad. Seating While there are lots of tables and counter seating...this place is hopping around noon to two daily. You will likely have to wait to sit. Trust me. It will be worth it Spoiled All other hot dogs will taste subpar once you have had a Lulu's. read more

Mixed feeling on this review. Awesome atmosphere, friendly service, good chili. However, I'm not a fan of the hot dog used. Salty and thick skinned. If you like that type of dog you will love it. read more

The absolute best hot dogs in Hampton Roads. The regular hot dogs are tasty and the chili actually has spices. Most have a bland tasting chili. The fries are crisp . The two dog and fries run about $10. The best thing about the experience is the staff. This group of ladies makes you feel welcome and despite a busy lunchtime, they deliver the meal quickly. The restrooms are clean. The hamburgers are also great. It has a lunch counter and tables and you might have a short wait. read more

I enjoyed lulus. I tried the hormel hotdog.... all I can say is that hotdog is tiny lol. So order an extra one . But delicious and a great snap to the skin. I loved the coleslaw... it's sweet , just the way I like it but they only put less then 2 table spoons on a hot dog , I personal NEED more! Next time I will just probably order a side of coleslaw and add as much as I'd like on my hotdogs. I really enjoyed the buns , soft. Now the boar's Head hot is good too! French fries are krinkled, frozen out the bag, nothing special. Onion rings about Four or 5 large onion rings in a regular order. I prefer these over the french fries. The burger was mmmm mmm good. To give you a comparison it taste like 5 guys but better! Service was good , place gives you the locals vibes. And very clean. My only real grip was how they packaged my hotdogs. We ordered it to go, when we got home the were squished to dead ... I feel the bag was too small for our large order. Can't fit 10 pounds of sugar in a 5 pound bag they say lol. Not a big deal... but next time I go in I'll probably pack them up my self lol. We are definitely going back. And check some other menu items out. I like that the place is not all about frills. It's a good old fashioned hot dog and hamburger joint.... read more

Lulu's is the "Go-To" place for hot dogs. Since Hormel decided to stop making the beloved Norfolk Dog, they, after an exhaustive search, came up with a very tasty replacement. Their hot dog chili is some of the best around. Not too spicy, not too bland... Just right. They also will cook the hell out of your fries if you ask nicely. Their Tots are also great. Excellent burgers as well. If you want a seat, get there early! They tend to fill up fast. They offer off-street parking in the rear. read more

Cole slaw and the spicy sausages were great!! Wife likes the tough skin hot dogs. Service was good, prices are very reasonable.

Service always great and dogs where always good, but it seems like they changed up the bun- way to much bread on the bun. Bring back the old buns. read more

Customer service was great when I went in for a to-go order..friendly. Hot dogs were okay...probably better to dine in and eat right then rather than take order to-go. May be back to dine in and try their sandwich options if out that way again... read more

I have been there many times over the years. I have always had an very good experience there. Good food and a good staff. And the new snap dogs are better than the Hormel dogs. read more

BEST HOT DOGS IN HAMPTON ROADS! I have only had the Norfolk Dogs at one other place and there was nothing special about them, but Lulu's dogs seem different in a very tasty way. Everyone is super friendly, prices are fair, the place is clean, well maintained and very charming. I also ordered a cheese burger, just so I could give a better review and was also very good. I wanted to give them five stars more then anything, but there where two very small issues. They have a small grill, so when it's busy (and it get's busy) things back up a little and you may have to wait. Also as tasty as the hamburger meat is, the burger bun was a little lacking, it's still a good burger but the hot dogs are better. I highly recommend this place for a tasty lunch, but avoid busy times if your in a hurry. C/ read more

Incredibly rude staff. I got a cheeseburger with just ketchup and one of their wait staff that it was okay to say "awe you want a little kiddi burger." She quickly back pedaled when I told her I was pregnant and trying to not upset the baby. Honestly why was that remark even needed to be said?!?! read more

Agree with others who like the hot dogs and burgers here. I work in the neighborhood and would be a regular except it takes WAY TOO LONG. I could eat lunch at Bakers Crust in the time it takes to eat here. Slow to take your order, slow to get the food up, slow to give you the check. I've only been here three times and the obvious chaos behind the counter simply drives me nuts.. I think the problem is 1) no system and 2) grill, fryer, and other equipment is inadequate to keep up. The folks who work here are going flat out, it is def not their fault! I will say KUDOS for all the hot dog choices they offer. read more

This local establishment is a totaly top notch! They're friendly and their customer service and food keeps me coming back for more! If you love burgers and hot dogs don't cheat yourself, stop by and see for yourself! read more

We have been here many times & have never had a bad service, no matter how busy they were. They were packed & loud yesterday, but It's a small friendly place. You can call ahead your order & have it ready when you get there or take it to go! The burgers are fresh & juicy, no pre-packaged burger there. My husband's favorite is the Smokehouse burger, I prefer just cheese, mayo & mustard. Any way you like it they are delicious! Hot dogs are good, love the chili! I've even tried the grilled cheese & BLT minus the T, all very good. The fries are always crispy! read more

Home-style cooking at an affordable price. Hot dogs are just one of many great things on the menu. Egg salad sandwich was great and apple caramel streusel superb. Thursday's (today) special is fried chicken with two sides for $7.25! Caters mainly to the nearby shipyards and its packed at lunch cause of the great food. read more

Classic American establishment with great food and prices. It's a shame there aren't more like it around.

Today was my first time eating at Lulu's, not only was the food good the staff was amazing, I will definitely be back!

We've been coming here for quite a while and for the last 21 years it's been consistently wonderful! We call ahead and then hubby will drive by and pick up our lunch. We usually get some hot dogs or maybe hamburgers. What I really appreciate about them is that the quality never wavers. It's been wonderful since I moved here. My husband grew up here in Norfolk Highlands and he has said it's been the same since he could remember. Plus the ladies are so pleasant, and never seem stressed or out of sorts! In today's world, that's a total win! read more

This is a nice little place that every neighborhood hot dog place should be. Clean, food is great (and I like the dog choices). Chili supposedly was hot but I can eat Southern Indian food, so I didn't think it was. Fries weren't burned or undercooked, they were perfect. Lots of personal attention. I will definitely be back. Friendly atmosphere. read more

I've had hot dogs, a hot sausage & a cheeseburger from here. All good. Small place. But they're making it work during Covid. Good food, prices & service. It has a regular clientele & it's easy to understand. I'll be back for sure. read more
