This Fat Tuesday marks 27 amazing years of LuLu’s. And what a ride it’s been! It’s hard to believe that what began as my beloved little dive, LuLu’s Sunset Grill, at the mouth of the Fish and Magnolia Rivers on Weeks Bay has grown into a family of three joyful restaurants that I’m so incredibly proud of.
From those early days to now, every plate served and every laugh shared has been part of the adventure. I’m endlessly grateful to everyone who has ever walked through our doors – our guests, our crew, and our community. You’ve all helped make LuLu’s the warm, happy, vibrant place it is today.
Mardi Gras has always been special for us. When LuLu’s Gulf Shores reopened in its new, bigger home on Fat Tuesday in 2003 , we knew we’d found our rhythm. One that rolls straight into spring break and then the big fun of summer. Around here, the celebration never stops! We’ve been keeping the party going before keeping the party going was a ‘thing’. 😉
So here’s to 27 years of sunshine, coastal cuisine, music, and magic. And here’s to many more ahead. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for being part of the LuLu’s story.
