I love going in there. My dad is not a English speaker and the people in there try their best to communicate there's also some Spanish speakers. I love the thrifties ice cream they have. The workers are really nice. The food is very good. My favorite is the cowboy burger. 8/10 read more

3.5/ 5 stars. Ambiance: Small hole in the wall. It's is silent from the lack of music. There a a few tables as well as a few booths that line the wall. Tables always have leftover crumb and a sticky residue, which tells me they aren't being cleaned down properly. Ice cream Flavors: pretty standard. Nothing amazing. The names lead to you to believe the flavors will be good, but it's just decent. We like coming for the Sunday specials, where you can spin the wheel for a discount on a sundae. Other than that we frequent another ice cream parlor in town. Service: It's predominantly teens that work here. They are a bit awkward and don't greet you or ask if you're ready to order. Which is fine. I'm not expecting 5 star service at an establishment like this. However, it gets awkward since they simply just stare at you the whole time. read more

Lulu's Ice Cream Parlor & Treatery - Sundae - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Turlock, California

My husband and I go here occasionally for a banana split and usually it's great. This time was awful. Girl working didn't acknowledge us, we had to go to the counter to get the banana splits and there was literally one other table in the place. Whip cream was completely flat, and bananas were over ripe. Very disappointed!! read more

Lulu's Ice Cream Parlor & Treatery - Terrible example of a banana split - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Turlock, California

The service was terrible, we were ignored and not helped, workers were doing busy work and didn't even acknowledge us, there was no one in the shop. After 5 minutes of just standing there we left and saw them laughing at us through the clear glass window, very disappointed. read more

Door dashed from Here and they shorted our order one meal. Had to drive over to pickup what they failed to deliver and now apology or adjustment was made. read more

Walked into an empty parlor where two teenagers were talking behind the counter. In the meantime the dining room was an absolute disaster- food and garbage everywhere. The food wasn't good- fries and a burger and we had to get it ourselves and clean up after ourselves. We all regretted tipping at time of payment. This is what happens when unsupervised teenagers run the show alone. read more

I come here a lot with my family I love the ice cream their salted caramel is the best I always get a double scoop on a waffle cone. My mom also some here alone at times and they have Spanish speaking employees which is very helpful and even if there isn't anyone who speaks Spanish they try their best to accommodate. Their food is also very good. Staff is always very kind i often have conversations with them if it's not busy. I also like the pizza next door. I think it's very cool that they have a combined business. read more

Took my girls here after cheerleading and gymnastics. We ordered the patty melt, onion rings, kids grilled cheese, a smores sundae and two kids waffle cones. The patty melt was much smaller than expected for $12, but the flavor was decent. Nothing comes with sides for that price and you have to order them separately. The onion rings were your run of the mill onion rings. The but was not worth the $10. One someone normal slice of tomato on one half and a super tiny slice on the other. The bacon was hard and small and looked like precooked microwavable bacon. Wouldn't have ordered if I know that. The kids grilled cheese was just a slice of american cheese on white bread thar was hardly melted. My husband chose the smores sundae because he was craving hot fudge, but it looked like maybe a small squirt of chocolate sauce instead and he actually had to add hot fudge himself at home. The girls cones were both good with rainbow sherbet and cotton candy. read more

The food is delicious, p0rtions are good sized,service is amazing. And children love it,its so perfectly set up for young children! I love the ice cream. This family first went to Lulu's for my daughter's birthday,she took 3 friends along and it was great. But after graduation Daughter moved to Florida,but here for a visit. So we're going for dinner tonight. read more

The Lulu's that I know and love is back! It had been a minute since we had last dined at Lulu's due to the fact that they no longer offered the veggie burger I loved. I was so sad because I love Lulu's fries and milkshakes too. Fast forward a year or so and I had a craving for a Lulu's milkshake, mint chip if you please. We were also hungry for dinner so I quickly checked the online menu to see if there was an entree I would like. To my pleasant surprise my beloved veggie burger had returned! Needless to say we headed out the door and made our way to Lulu's. My veggie burger did not disappoint! My husband enjoyed his cheeseburger and we split the family order of fries naturally. Of course our meal was not complete without mint chip milkshakes for two! Everything was as yummy as I remembered! We will definitely be back. Thank you Lulu's for bringing back your yummy veggie burger and for another delicious meal! read more

So the review is not about the food. I rather enjoy their food. My review is about the facility itself. Seats are torn and worn out, table is broke. The place was dirty. Now one would say the place was busy but there was only two other customers in the place. No reason for this place to be dirty. We had to clean our own table. You would think the employee would step up and say they would clean the table but they didn't even bother to help. Who is running this business? This place is dilapidated. Not good for business. read more

Lulu's Ice Cream Parlor & Treatery - Yum in a bun. - Ice Cream & Frozen Yogurt Near Me - Turlock, California

The location is Lulu's best attribute. The service is decent. The facility isn't the cleanest and the smell inside isn't very pleasant. I would consider myself a bit of an ice cream connoisseur, and this ice cream is bottom shelf (think dreyer's or thrifty). The price however is top shelf. Today was $14 for a double scoop and a shake. The scoops are definitely the smallest portions compared to other ice cream shops. The spoons are the cheapest money can buy. Overall, not impressive at all. read more

The ice cream I tried was pretty good, the service is just bad. The workers were kinda just staring weirdly the whole time and honestly weren't being very nice, even when I tried smiling at them :( it's like they were trying their hardest to ignore and be rude to us, just not the best experience read more

The gluten free pizza and chicken wings here are absolutly wonderful! If you tell them you are "Gluten Free" they will make sure yours is done off to the side as well. Great job! Love this place! read more

This is a decent ice cream parlor. I try to stop in when with my kids in this part of Turlock.

UPDATE: I still love this place! The BEST part is that people like A P (who rated Lulu's 1 Star) WILL NOT COME BACK! Praise be! If you are a mom of "demonic children" THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU! The judgmental yelp trolls cannot handle all of the life and joy coming from a (gasp) ICE CREAM PARLOR FILLED WITH CHILDREN! The service is still amazing. You will feel as if you know everyone. Your kids can play, you can talk, you can laugh, and you can eat delicious food. Once again, if you're a parent that wants a cold beer, delicious food, and an ice cream for your kiddos...try Lulu's! It will not disappoint! (Unless you're an angry, child hating hipster that probably has a man bun. Then you should stick with your gluten/dairy/soy/happiness free froyo). read more

It's Thritys Ice cream which we love. Service was good. Prices fair for location. Seemed a little dirty inside the shop but it's a busy location near schools. read more

I honestly wasn't expecting much out of this small ice cream parlor, but let me tell you it was AMAZING. I thoroughly enjoyed the BLT sandwich and regular french fries. It also came out pretty fast considering the amount of food we ordered. I also tried the sweet potato fries and linguisa sandwich which were also really good! We weren't able to try the ice cream because we were too full, but I can't wait to go back and try some! Overall, I would recommend Lulu's to anyone that has taste buds!

This lady does amazing things, We have been going to lulus since it opened. My kids have had birthday parties at LULu's! They love the chalkboard that announces whose birthday it is today! She always has a wonderful staff, Ashley Faustino is the best! the food is great and the ice cream is generously scooped, way to go! read more

Love this place. It's become our weekly treat after gymnastics. Their ice cream and food are both delicious

Horrible service! My dad went in here and ordered the Cowboy burger last week and it was missing some of the main ingredients that made it a special burger like onion rings and BBQ sauce. He asked the cashier who made the burger if she had made a mistake and she said "oh ya I did, I forgot" he told her it was a good thing that he caught it or it would've been just his bad luck and she proceeded to just say "ya I forgot". She said she can remake it but he just asked if he could get some sort of discount for his next order and she told him she couldn't do that. So my dad was charged full price for a specialty burger but received a regular cheeseburger and the cashier was unwilling to give a discount for a mistake she became aware of but decided not to correct till she was confronted. read more

Wow, they don't play! Came here and ordered a milkshake and it was ginormous! The ice cream they put in the milkshake was rich and chocolatey, and I'm pretty sure that the straw could have stood straight up in the milkshake. The woman behind the counter was polite. We wanted to add some Reece's Pieces to the milkshake and she asked us whether we wanted it blended into the shake or add in after. We weren't quite sure, but ended up asking for it to be added in after -- she agreed that she thought that was the better options, but wanted to ask us just in case we had a strong preference either way. The one thing is that it seemed a bit short staffed, so even after people left, the tables hadn't been cleaned up, even though there were plenty of empty tables. We ended up sitting in a booth, where one end was a bit sticky with ice cream and the other end was clean (we sat on the clean end). read more

I was highly disappointed! I ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich online and this is what I received. When I drove back to lulus to show them what I had received the response was oh well we weigh out the chicken and that the girl making it was new. I'm sorry but this is not worth 12.00. I did get my money back and will not be ordering again anytime soon. read more

I really like this place! This is one of my daughter and her friends favorite hangout place as well. The ice cream & food are good and at a reasonable price. Employees have always been nice to my family and I the times I've been there. Super cute ice cream spot, feels like home :) read more

This place is just alright to me. The set up is awkward. You order your ice cream away for where you can show the teeny boppers what you want. Having never been here before, I was over looked and cut in front of by somebody else. Having gotten over the counter incident, I was eating my average tasting ice cream while I observed someone come out from their back kitchen, hang her head into the ice cream window (hair hanging down), took a spoon and spooned herself a nice large scoop which she proceeded to put into her mouth and eat right behind the counter. I don't intend in returning. The ice cream is...well, anything you could get elsewhere, and the girls hanging their heads into the ice cream have me uneasy about hair, dandruff, and anything else that might drop into it while they serve themselves. read more

Came to Lulu's this evening with a few friends and had a great time. The staff was helpful, friendly and served up some delicious food! We would certainly go back if we are in the area and need some ice cream or a sandwich and fries. read more

Next to Starbucks, I'm sure this place gets business from those who weren't sure they wanted coffee. They have a couple of doors, although we entered through the one labeled "exit" on the inside. They have a number of tables and booths. It's bright and antiseptic-looking. We were greeted quickly as we entered. As we came to look at photos and video, the other two grabbed a booth quickly. I thought that this was odd since I wanted something cold to eat. After asking, they were still full from lunch--I didn't eat many of my fries. I got the computer working on the photos and got a rainbow sherbet of some sort. Having orange, blue, and red together looks odd, but I chose it anyway. Some of the descriptions/names were missing from the case. One scoop in a cup was $2.00. It looked big as he was scooping, but it didn't seem so big when he handed it to me. It was probably close to what Baskin-Robbins does. The taste was good and worth the money, and the staff was always friendly. The restroom was fairly clean. read more

So disappointed in Lulus. Have been going there for years with grandkids. Hadn't been there in a while because grandkids moved, went in tonight and it was filthy inside. The gal that was working at the counter was less than thrilled when customers walked in. Ordered two scoops, got one. Unfortunately won't be back for awhile. read more

Got two chocolate malts, and French fries. It was all great. Friendly staff as well. Great experience overall.

The service is horrible here and the food is not all that. The ownership needs to step it up and train their employees on professionalism and customer service and quality of the finished product. Word of mouth goes a long way! read more

First time coming here and we had take out. Everything was bad. We ordered 3 burgers and they were supposed to be done by 5:41 but they didn't have it until 6:10. The burger buns were burned and hard on the outside. Mine was supposed to have tomatoes, lettuce, they all just had meat cheese and mayo. The curly fires were completely cold and soggy. Maybe this is an ice cream place but it was not good at all, we threw it away. read more

Love this place. Very friendly staff, I come in almost every evening for one scoop of ice cream

My hamburger was ok but my seasoned fries were not seasoned. All they had was salt, which isn't considered seasoned. Seasoned salt is considered seasoned. The chocolate fudge sundae was great. But anyone can make that. What I was shocked about was how one of the workers went to join one of the tables and laid there with her pants almost coming off (because of her pose) acting like she owned the place as she sarcastically went back and forth with her conversations with one of the girls from the table. They obviously were friends and obnoxious ones too. This is a joint for young people but it doesn't mean that the service (or young customers) should act unprofessional or be equally obnoxious. This is why it's not good to mix friends with pleasure. Or, have young workers working in an environment where it's geared towards young clients, unless they've been taught about ethics and morals. I wouldn't go back there to eat but maybe just to get ice cream for my kids. read more
