Review: Lulu's Homeport - Gulf Shores, AL

Someone told me Lulu is Jimmy Buffet's sister and the website confirms it. While we were grubbin' an older lady came up to our table and we asked her if she was Lulu. "No" she said, "I'm Taylor Hicks's grandmother." BAM! This place is packed with famous relatives!

But how did it taste?















Atmosphere: Flawless
Definitely the main attraction is the place. Right on the intercoastal waterway, huge kid-friendly sandbox area, bright colors, musician stage, big picnic tables to sit at, etc etc. It doesn't get more beachy than this. You won't be dissapointed.









Service: Mediocre
Lulu's obviously has a ton of business because when I had a special request for my dish they said sorry, the kitchen doesn't do special requests. Sounds like the Apple of the restaurant biz. I guess when people flock to you, you can afford to set some limits. It wasn't even a big request so that suprised me. Other than that service was great.








Food: Just pretty good
I asked the waitress what the best thing on the menu was and without hesitating she said the Mahi Mahi tacos. They were ok, not amazing. Other dishes were the pineapple topped hamburger, which was excellent, and the blackened mahi mahi greek salad, which was just pretty good. Not terribly dissapointed with the meal but not impressed either. It's a solid meal, but the attraction isn't the incredible food.






Verdict: Go to have a good time, not to have your tastebuds amazed.












Lulu's is located just off Hwy 59 in Gulf Shores
