Take the kids and enjoy a couple hours at LuLu's! Eat some seafood , take the rope climbing challenge, shop at the gift store , and enjoy a nice specialty drink while viewing the intercostal waterway.

15 min wait wasn't bad especially with the gift shop to browse. Live music was awesome. Got the blackened shrimp and LOVED IT. Best server we had during our whole trip.

Brian Bell

Greatest..place...ever! My zen spot. I'm usually here around 10 times a year (since opening in 04). Has gotten VERY touristy , but still wonderful. Thank you Lucy for making my happy place! Fins up!

Daniel Tanner

The fish tacos were great and the Gouda grits were outstanding. I think there the same they use in the shrimp and grits . Also try the Cadillac margarita its yummy.

Christina Bell

It is my favorite place! A must try is their chips , salsa , & queso !!! And of course a cheeseburger in paradise goes great with a jet ski killer on the rocks!

Betsy Andrews

Get there early to avoid a long wait . Fried crab claws are the best you can get anywhere. Great service too. Our #1 favorite place to eat in Gulf Shores!

Amy Davis

Had a long wait but there was so much to do we didn't notice. Shrimp tacos were great. Service was good and the live music was the best!! He was hilarious.

Kacie L

I have a bunch of food allergies and they were VERY accommodating.. A manager walks the food every step of the way- greatly appreciated! Service was great, food was great, atmosphere was great!!

Jon Thompson

Cheeseburgers were great, quesadillas were good, get the Bushwacker! Kids had fun on the ropes course.

David Luna

Love the location, the atmosphere, the food, and the drinks! Awesomeness! We come here every time we vacation in Orange Beach .

Sally Anne

Get there early. We got there around 430 on a weekday, less than an hour wait. Food was awesome and so was the service. Really a neat place for the whole family.

Kari Pettit

After reading tips we had the crab melt and smokes tuna dip . Both were AMAZING!! I don't really even like tuna ! Try it with Lulas hot sauce .

Rhianon DeHart

Everything was great! The crazy sisters crab dip . Fried green tomatoes . Onion rings Key West bowl… fish tacos !

Alabama Year of Food

LuLu's menu is full of fresh seafood and other fried favorites, but don't pass over on some Lulu's originals: Lower Alabama Caviar and LuLu's version of the Cheeseburger in Paradise .

AL.com

Their commitment to quality is reflected in the decision to buy locally produced items whenever possible. Everything from the tomatoes to their grass-fed beef for the cheeseburgers come from nearby. Read more

Daphne Broadway

Best atmosphere at any restaurant ANYWHERE!!! We love that Crazy Sista!!! Gotta go every time we are in Gulf Shores!

Jimmy Buffett World

Owned by Lucy "Lulu" Buffett , Jimmy's sister, Lulu's at Homeport is a popular restaurant on the Intracoastal Waterway serving up delicious homecooked seafood and live music every night!

CJ Strickland

I'd suggest the smoked tuna dip as an appetizer . You will NOT be dissapointed. Such a succulent flavor that compliments all of the other dishes LuLu's has to offer.

Susan Harris

Excellent time. Great fun and family atmosphere ! Band was awesome! Worth the trip.

Daniel Tanner

The grits are awesome as well as the fish tacos . Try a Cadillac margarita as well yummy

Tim Goyette

The guacamole & chips and mahi tacos were both good. A fun place!

Taunya King

Atmosphere is with the wait to eat. Great fun for the kiddos. Love the live music . Hush puppies are amazing!

Gulfscapes

Don't miss the Fresh Air Market - happens each Saturday Memorial Day through Labor Day - only three Saturdays left to come out and enjoy this great showcase for local and regional artists .

Allen Jolley

Very popular. My family loves it. I'm not a fan. I like a more authentic feel. It's forced.

Daniel Tanner

Once again always good from the food (shrimp& grits ) to the alcohol (skinny margarita ).

Jeanna Chandler

Fried green tomatoes are pretty good. This place is fun to hang out, have a drink or play volleyball . Food is pricy and wait is LONG.

Mike Oakley

Appetizers, seafood and the entire atmosphere!

Aly Sutton

This place is AMAZING! The entertainment they have for the kids is AWESOME! If only every restaurant was like this:)

Nick Wepel

Great food great view , give the craby melt a shot

John T

Everything is awesome!! Super family friendly , great food at reasonable prices!

Meika Mcclendon

Never have I waited for 2 hours to be seated but my son loved playing while we waited and the Long Island Teas made the wait enjoyable. The burger was off the chain.

Anna Italiano

Great food & service. Crab melt was to die for! We say outside and was able to see the dolphins too. Best part of my trip!

Lesley S.

As a native Gulf Coast res. I wasn't impressed. The gumbo had a sweetness to it....yuck, shrimp poboy was pretty good, gouda grits were chewy...grits should NOT be chewy. Atmosphere was great.

Cate Crandell

Let them know if you have a food allergy and the manager will serve you! There's live music every day of the week!

JenKudu

After a very long wait , the food does NOT disappoint. The fish sandwich is so fresh and delicious.

Larry Cooper

The atmosphere. Plus, the have good music playing.

Al Brown

The seafood basket for two was really good, so was Lulu's ale !

Kristen Channel

The complimentary bottled water and popcorn are great for hangry kids while you wait for a table.

@MisterHirsch

Looking for a good frozen drink ? Try the Jet Ski Killer , a refreshing tropical drink that you won't be able to have just one.

Alyce Jennings

Excellent service ; get Taisa as a waitress ! Try the crab melt and the mahi tacos ; they are amazing!

Kevin Westbrook

Their shrimp and grits are proof that God loves us and wants us to be happy.

Crystal Nettles

Manager comes out to take allergy order to make sure it's correct. Awesome. Gluten free menu :)

Naiomi Ingram

Based on reviews I ordered the Mahi Tacos . Worst meal I've ever eaten in my entire life. No exaggeration. 3 bland dry mini tacos with half a bag of corn chips on my plate. Such a disappointment.

Hakimm Rashid

Shredded cheese burger with fried tomatoes , and the gumbo

Laura High

The setting here is fun and just how it should be on vacation! The Fried Green Tomato BLT is fab!

Jessica Thelen

Long wait but totally worth it! Try a Landshark (bottle or draft )! It's the beer of Jimmy Buffett !

Aaron Grebner

The food is good, but expensive for what it is. The restaurant is hot and not enough fans to keep it cool. My margarita was pure tequila . If it wasn’t $8 I wouldn’t have drank it.
