Lula Restaurant Distillery

I wasn’t hungry, but I wanted something to drink, so I decided to try Lula Restaurant Distillery since I had some time to kill before heading to the airport. I was immediately greeted when I walked in the door, and the host put my bag in a corner and seated me outside. My waitress, Diamond, was amazing. I initially ordered a gin and tonic, and let me tell you, it was really good! I asked what tonic they use, and they make it in-house… it's incredibly good. Diamond told me about the Sugarcane Pork Skewers, which I just had to order. I’m not usually a fan of pork or sweets, but you absolutely have to try them. They’re sugarcane skewers wrapped in pork sausage, grilled with a spiced rum glaze on cabbage slaw… need I say more? I’ll definitely be back to enjoy some of their great gin and explore the rest of the menu.

Last year my Mom and I went here the day after Thanksgiving and the food was great. This year, I came solo, my Mom passed away in May and it's my first Thanksgiving solo. The customer service was amazing today. It was quite a crowd, I sat at the bar. The menu was good, food was good as well. Thank you for feeding me on an otherwise rough day for me.

EAT HERE!! If you're anywhere near this restaurant and are craving delicious cuisine for reasonable prices, this is the place. I started with the Martha's Tomatoe Stack which is as an unbelievable take on Fried Green Tomatoes. It's the original classic but next level in so many ways. Sweet, spicy, bacon, jalapenos... believe me, it's killer. Also ordered the fried chicken sandwich. Be prepared for a hefty beast wedged between two pieces of Texas toast. Everything was so good and I was amazingly full. Also, my server was spectacular. She brought everything out promptly, made recommendations, answered my questions and was just a sweet person overall. Super friendly and very nice host as well. The rest of the staff that I spoke to were all good people. I only wish I wasn't leaving tomorrow morning because I badly want to try the rest of their menu.

We stopped in for Happy Hour on Friday, was warmly greeted by the bartender and sat at the bar. We enjoyed appetizers and wonderful service by the bartender Tony, who's great spirit made us want to come back for Bottomless Vodka Brunch on Saturday! The brunch was AMAZING and the drinks were even better. Could not speak higher in regards to bartender service by Tony and Haley

Great drinks & fare at Lula. Server could have been a little more friendly / attentive but we came at an off time so it’s ok. We loved the cocktails on tap and the fried green tomatoes. I was a little surprised to see the body/head on my shrimp in my shrimp boil, but perhaps that’s my tourist ignorance... I survived!

The food was amazing! So delicious and easily one of the best meals I’ve had in New Orleans. The happy hour was amazing. We had a friend visiting from out of state, and the atmosphere was perfect for the occasion. Service was a little slow- we waited over 20 minutes for the check. Other than that, I highly recommend this place!
