    The food was pretty good. I had the lamb chops. My partner had the chicken & waffles. The waffles were pretty mediocre and weren’t truly Belgian waffles. We ordered food around 4:00pm, not knowing that the restaurant closed at 5pm for an hour long break. Our food didn’t come out until close to 4:50 by 455, the music had turned off, and right at 5pm, the bouncer, I guess, began telling people they needed to leave, which was understandable. By 5:05, his chants and mannerisms became visibly frustrated, as he began to come around and collect our completed food items. At 515.. again, very frustrated, he yelled out “it’s 515, we’ve been closed for 15 minutes, and you all need to leave, it’s time to go.” For my partner & I, it would have been nice to get a heads up that we would basically be getting kicked out at 5pm, as that’s exactly what it felt like with all the shouts and aggressiveness. I’ve also never been to a restaurant that literally didn’t allow you to finish your food & drinks. We were rushed and kicked out of the building. Had to guzzle down drinks, weren’t offered to go cups or anything. it was truly a rude experience. The reasoning for the food taking a long time was because they were “short staffed”. Tips are included in your bill, which my waiter deserved.. she was excellent. But it’s situations like this that will most likely keep us from supporting this business and coming back. As the customer, there could have been several different ways to the approach we received to leave the restaurant.

    This was my second time visiting LulaBelle’s. My friends and I came for the NYE celebration. It was a good vibe. Customer service was great from the security at the door, the hostess, and our waitress was the sweetest. The food portions were good, but we thought the food was heavily seasoned. Drinks were good too. We’ll definitely be back for brunch sometime in the new year.

    My 2nd experience at Lulabelles was very disappointing. They were out of basically everything on the main menu. I had my appetite set for a steak. Out of steak, no pasta, no fruit and other items. I brought a friend from out of state , bragging about how awesome and delicious the food was only to be disappointed.

    This was our first time visiting Lulabelles. We had the best time ever. Our server was Jalisa, she was so very accommodating to us. She made us feel at home. Great attitude, great service, she is a keeper for sure. We will definitely be back!!! Thank you Miss Jalisa.

    Always a good time at LulaBelle’s. Portions could be a little better but the price matches so no complaints.

    Didn’t have good experience can’t stand smoke or vaporing. Wasn’t aware that they allowed that.food wasn’t cooked to our satisfaction. Waitress had to be reminded of certain things. Worse experience I had in a long time especially when that’s considered a upscale restaurant
