    My favorite brunch spot! When the weather is nice, I like to sit on the patio and bring my dog. The workers are always so nice, and bring a water for my dog too! They answer any questions I’ve had about their specials menu, and they’re very friendly. They’re always booked and busy so I like to make a reservation before I go. My favorite things to order are just a bunch of sides, which are large portions and I always feel satisfied. Reasonably priced menu, with a variety of options. The only drawback is that they’re still upcharging for every egg dish the last time I went a couple weeks ago. Hopefully their prices go back down soon, now that eggs aren’t $15 a dozen anymore. Definitely recommend as a cozy brunch location!

    Went to Lulu's for breakfast, I would encourage using the website and making reservations. You can absolutely walk in but why take the chance of having to wait for that delicious food and unparalleled service. The atmosphere is great with the open kitchen, it makes you feel right at home. I would definitely recommend the red velvet waffles as well as the croissant breakfast sandwich. You really can't miss with their menu. If you're in or around Richmond get down to Lulu's, there's no better place to start your day!

    Stopped in for brunch and dining room was full so we snagged a couple seats at the bar. I'm so glad we did - our bartender Aaliyah was fantastic. The bar stayed busy but that didnt impact service at all. Aaliyah was hustlin!!! And their personality and work ethic showed in their hospitality. We ordered the huevos rancheros, shockoe bottom florentine benedict, cheese grits, and a biscuit with sausage gravy. All were excellent! The benedict had a delicious garlicky depth of flavor, and the heuvos rancheros was seasoned perfectly. The cheese grits were some of the best I've ever had, and I may need the larger order of biscuits and gravy next time. Come hungry, the portions leave you full to the brim! We polished off a couple of bloodys, but dont forget you can get some to go. Thank you Aaliyah and Lulu's for an excellent experience!
