Happy New Year Everyone! 

Noon Year’s was beachball -frenzy-bubblewrap-cracking wonderful at all three locations. If this event is the barometer for how things will go in Gulf Shores, Destin, and North Myrtle this year, then I am sure we are in for a fantastic 2024! 

I promise to keep hosting the FUN and you’re all always welcome at LuLu’s! 

Much love, luck, health, prosperity, and gumbo in this new year. 

Having fun and looking forward,

And just like that, it’s back to school!

It has been a fantastic Summer season at all three restaurants. The beaches and waterways are still full of fun-in-the-sun seekers on the weekends.
As much as I love the frenetic and busy energy of the Summer months, I equally love the ‘big exhale’ calm after another crazy wonderful high season at LuLu’s.
As we head into the shoulder season and then into Fall, the lines and wait times at the restaurants naturally decrease. And, I think everyone will welcome the cooler temps on the horizon. Now that it’s (almost) Fall, come see us for lunch or dinner and literally chill out!
We can’t wait to host you at LuLu’s!
 

Gumbo love always,
