We were there on our way to airport and had couple of hours to kill. So we stopped by this place early on Saturday for brunch. The place was reasonably packed but we were promptly seated. The place looks really quaint and cozy with a lot of farm related decorations. The coffee was good. We ordered Chicken and waffles and standard breakfast platter with pork links.The Chicken and waffles are amazing. The gravy portion was a bit small. But it tasted amazing. The chickens was really well done and savory. The breakfast platter was good. The pork links were good. The only issue was the hash browns. They were soggy and bland. Everything else was really good and the price was very reasonable given the portion size.I definitely recommend this place.

My family and I left this place satisfied and happy with the great service they put out and their delicious plates. When we walked in we were received with open hands and and a warm welcome. We were attended quickly and within minutes we were enjoying some pancakes and omelettes, their specialty. The waiter would be attentive and insisted if we were good or needed anything else, whatever we asked for was brought to us without hesitation. We did not encounter any problems but there was a complain by another family about them messing up orders and they resolved the issue without any problem or did not cause disruption.

This place was just what we needed! The food service and atmosphere was stellar. The food was excellent and didnt take long to make. Everything (and we ordered a lot) was so good! It was clean and social distance complient.

Visited from out of town while near the airport. The service was excellent. The menu is varied and creative. The food was rather bland for my taste. I’m pretty sure it wasn’t seasoned at all. This is a nice little independent, local diner.

The was here was ehhh. My table ordered two sets of eggs Benedict and all 4 eggs were over cooked and the potato pancake was undercooked. My friend ordered eggs and stake well done but the steak was medium rare and we had to sent it back. For dessert we ordered the crepe with caramel sauce and apples and there was maybe a few drops of apple cutouts and very little caramel sauce.

Should have gone with the waitresses recommendation - a skillet.Coffee was good and plentiful.I had he hungry may breakfast, the eggs, bacon& sausage were good but the rest of it was a bit diapointing... The biscuit and tiny dollop of gravy was just sad, pancakes & french were under cooked.

We used to go there for breakfast almost every weekend before pandemic and we loved everything. First time ordering to go after covid and the price for breakfast for 2 people came up to over $50! Like what?! Who can afford a $10 orange juice and $10 side of bacon? Thats crazy pricing. Hopefully they come to their mind when they come back to opening the inside of the restaurant.

Delivery was quick, food was OK not great. benedict sauce tastes sweet like made from box, potato pancakes are definitely need work and less raw onion.

My only complaint is the small amount of gravy for the biscuit. The biscuit is really big, which is great, but without gravy for it, I wasnt as interested. Great place, though!

What a gem! The atmosphere was quaint and we felt we were in Grandmas farmhouse! The food was excellent! We drive about 45 minutes to try this place. We simply did a Google search for brunch and this popped up. Worth the drive!! It did take a while to get served while the restaurant was half empty but, the food and decor made up for the lack of attention!

Review №47

This service was poor. From the greeters desk to the person that waited my and serve my food. The food is ok but not the greatest. I feel like they gave me old food. The mayonnaise that they gave me was old and you can tell by the way there were different colors. The avocado that they told me I had to pay extra for had dark brown spots all over it and when I told them that I did not eat it because I didnt like how it looked. They told me I had to still pay for it and that avocados do get brown due to being exposed to the air. I dont know if it was because I was the only black person there. Whenever I give reviews I try to be positive as I can. But this was not the best experience that a place could give. Customer service is key as well as how you prepare peoples food.

In the area to dog sit. Decided to stop for breakfast. Very cute place. Loved the decor. Had Strawberry waffle and side of ham. Was very good. Next time will have to try lunch. Waitress and other staff were very nice and personable. Unfortunately they are only open till three so guess will have to have late lunch/early dinner. Will definately be back.

Our family just moved to the area and were looking for the perfect family restaurant to share meals with our loved ones. We came across Lulu Belle’s, read the ratings, and decided to come. It is our second visit and it never disappoints. The food is amazing, the service is cordial, and the atmosphere is warmth and welcoming. So glad we found our own place for our families to share many more memories on Sunday morning breakfasts. Thank you!

Service was good but food was not, flat scrambled eggs, burned toast, ham dry and husband said cornbeef on his sandwich was dried out, the toast it was on was hard all around edges and fries were re-cooked. Would not recommend and will not go back.

Menu had a great variety. Customer service was excellent. The speed and temperature of food was phenomenal. I’m not much for a sweet breakfast; eggs and bacon always my go to, but ordered the Farmer’s boy crepes and it was delicious! My son ordered The Big Hungry. Tons of food, delicious flavors and great prices.

Its not good when you tell someone your allergies to onions and your food comes out with onions. I didnt realize there where still onions in it till I started eating it. Then they dont even remove the item from the check when they messed up. Dont come here if you have allergies.

Local family dining here. Nothing impressive at all. Food is standard and breakfast seems to be the busiest. If you order bacon, expect the freeze dried boxes of bacon from jewel. Coffee cups ...these may have come from s thrift store or donated by local businesses. Staff is super friendly and yes there are slot machines.

Cute little place with a country feel to it even though it has some modern things like a slot machine room. Good food that is decently priced. Fast and attentive service. We come here every week!

My husband and I are from out of town and found this cute breakfast spot this morning the food was AMAZING and a great price. They were very well staffed and every one we encountered was very friendly. You could taste how fresh the fruits and vegetables were. The appearance of the restuarant was very cute and unique. We couldnt of found a better breakfast place. We will definitely visit again next time we are in town. Thank you.

Lulu belles is probably my favorite breakfast spot. Food is always consistent. Servers are pretty unfriendly though. Feels like theyre just putting up with you. Food takes a bit long sometimes but its worth the wait. I love their mismatched coffee mugs. Very cute commodity. Has a cozy farm house feel. Everything is cow themed. So happy theyre open for dinner now.

Review №89

Had the hungry man, and 2x2x2x2 with hot chocolate. The hot chocolate was hot and was made with milk. My French toast was light and fluffy with edges crisped to perfection. The hungry man was also good but the biscuit it comes with was not the best. Prices were very doable. Service was prompt and accurate. Loved this restaurant! Will come back next time I visit Chicago.

We stopped by to get some food to go. The hottest/server was very friendly. The place has cute country/antique decorations hanging around with the cow spot motifs.My wife (her second time here) got the veggie potato sack and I got the Greek potato sack. We were both pleased with the results. Essentially these are scrambles wrapped up in hash browns.This is a pretty standard breakfast place. I was informed that the corned beef hash was out of a can. However, I do appreciate the honesty. Im sure we will be back.

Not good food. I had chicken and waffles and the waffles tasted weird. Chicken was good though. Someone ordered blueberry pancakes but there must have been a blueberry shortage when they were made because the pancake only contained about 4.But I gave two stars because it was edible. The staff was nice and the aesthetic was authentic 70/80s country western.I think they will be hiring a new chef soon though, so that might change things!
