Lulu's Restaurant

Went here last Sunday after a long walk at Balboa Park. We did not have to reserve and was seated as soon as we arrived. They have an outdoor seating and I remember bringing my pet dog here one time. Service was great and the food was really good! I highly recommend trying out the Corned Beef Hash and Egg because it’s one of the tastiest meals we had during our visit. The serving is huge and make sure to ask for a box to go if you cannot finish it in one sitting. They’re not lying when they called their Big Chocolate Cake big because the size of that slice was enough to fill me up until dinner. Highly recommend and will definitely come back.

Honestly, the food here is disgusting and waay overpriced for how gross and flavorless it is. This is a glorified Denny's, and the service is horrible every time. I don't know if they don't have enough people working here, but I came in twice and had a horrible experience both times. I had the Eggs Florentine, and the hollandaise sauce was not very good, and the spinach tasted chalky, like it came from a can. The Belgian Waffle was flavorless and cold when we got it--not good at all, and the Orange Juice was spoiled. The French Onion soup tasted like it came out of a bag, and they use gross, dry, croutons that are definitely not home made. They top the soup with so much cheese, and it was cold when it arrived. How disgusting. Then I asked for a Beyond burger, but they didn't have one, so instead of telling me, they just switched it out with a dry, disgusting black bean burger patty, and it tasted like cardboard. The mozzarella sticks were okay, but honestly I would never ever come here. Both times I came in here, my server ignored me and the person I was with, and forgot multiple things on our order. Oh, and when I walked in the restaurant, they took 15 mins to greet/seat me. The employees all saw me, and were right at the front, but they just ignored me. Honestly, this place is a joke. Do not come here. Anyone who leaves this place a decent review must not know what good food is.

Was pretty upset about the fact that the food was not as good as I had heard from the reviews. Me and my boyfriend got to try three different dishes. They were all very poor quality and taste. The crepe was overfilled with filling which was way too much and ruined the crepe…The strawberries tasted and looked like they came from a can. The eggs Benedict was also really poor as far as taste and quality. They overdid it with the sauce and added way too much ham. There was no balance and it was very bland. Only thing was descent were the country potatoes.

Staff super helpful to me, someone with various allergies....kind and willing to check for ingredients to help me out. Btw -their gluten free pancakes are very tasty - smell and texture so real I (nor my hubby who does eat gluten) didn't believe it was GF until they checked and for name of brand/mix. Again, many thanks to the kind staff. Great breakfast place.
