I had the Dawn Patrol. I really liked it. Service was great, too.

Terri W.

so nice we DID it twice. The hash browns were really good. I don't really remember what I ordered I just remember we went back the next day and ordered it again. Need I say more?

Colin O.

Lulus is awesome! Great food, beer, service, spectacular view of the beach! Great servers and bartenders, very friendly!

Kelly B.

Best beach food in Waikiki We had a tremendous plate of Kalua Pork Nachos at Lulus. The half order is more than enough for two and the selection of cold draft beers was good. We also had a Mahi-Mahi plate with a macadamia nut sauce that was very tasty. The rice pilaf was moist and the veges were steamed well. The service was very friendly and the view of the beach was great from the railing seats, although we preferred to sit at the high tables in the bar area.

Theresa A.

If you are wanting a nice quiet dinner don't go here. The staff was very busy and slow to return to our table to check on our drinks or to order food, though they were friendly. The bar was filled with young loud people and there were girls so drunk they couldn't walk straight. The food was ok, not the worst I've had but not the greatest. I guess if your looking for that it would be the place for you, but it wasn't for me. Though if you are wanting a good breakfast their hash is amazing and staff was very friendly and attentive. Also the 1/2 order of pancake was just enough.

Sara C.

my 15 minute (maybe 20) quick stop, 2 drink review: +1 = happy hour +1 = awesome bartender +1 = STRONG mai tai's +1 = beautiful view of the ocean

KA N.

Great little joint for breakfast! (Didn't do lunch or dinner) service good, coffee, & food. Definitely a change from the hotels

Heather J.

One of my favorite salads...north shore salad. Fresh mozzarella sliced with tomatoes atop a bed of fresh greens seasoned with evoo and ale sea salt. I have already been back for seconds and am currently thinking about a 3rd visit. Loved lulu's lemonade and coconut shrimp was good too...not so much on the quesadilla however.

Debra V.

Just like I wouldn't go to a bookstore to get a pedicure, I don't normally go to "bar"-type places and expect good food. (There are places like that...see Real and Yardhouse, but few and far between.) This was no exception. They were slightly busy, which is to be expected on a Saturday night. And our server was very nice. All of the bussers were on their game, so none of the tables stayed dirty and all of our plates were cleared very quickly. Why the low rating? The food was far less than stellar. A friend and I split an order of ahi poke. Fairly simple, nothing extravagant. We got it, and it looked huge! It was served in a crispy, wonton bowl over white rice. However, after the first bite, we realized it was mostly rice! Not only was there a scoop of rice on the plate (hence the "served over rice" in the menu description), but it was mostly rice in the wonton bowl as well! There were maybe, maybe, 4 bites of poke altogether. At the $14 price I would've rather gone to Safeway for my poke! We added on the avocado for $2 more...not much avocado, either. I was very disappointed. As far as taste is concerned, nothing special there. Just your every day limu poke. If you're looking for someplace for a good beer, and a place to hang out, Lulu's works. But I'd skip it if you're hungry!

Matt R.

We had a very pleasant work-day breakfast here. For breakfast, in contrast to days with sporting events (place was mobbed for Denver/New England football game), restaurant was not crowded, light, with a good view of the ocean. Restaurant is located upstairs, so view is beach, ocean, and trees, but not Kalakaua Boulevard. Staff was pleasant and attentive. Food quality is higher than Eggs and Things, plus real silverware, not paper plates. Now on to the food. Started with the papaya. The papaya was a half, served with lime. Papaya was perfectly ripe. We had the Longboard Benedict -- good ham, hollandaise, and eggs were cooked exactly as ordered. You can substitute fruit ($1) for potatoes and what arrived was fresh fruit in a cup (pineapple, cantaloupe, papaya) with toasted coconut and macadamia nuts. Bacon and eggs had good portion of applewood smoked bacon (regular, not thin sliced), and substituted fruit salad for potatoes. Prices here are about the same as Eggs and Things, but with a much better atmosphere. The restaurant had much more of a local feel than the tourist driven alternative. We have also been here for music at night. They feature local contemporary groups which are good.

Dave P.

I had a custom-specified omelette. Spinach, mushroom, and tomato ....it was light and fresh. Loved it. Home fries were tasty without being too greasy. Coffee was mediocre. Service was friendly but it take a long time to get our food. I went on a Sunday morning so I'm sure that had something to do with it. I'd still highly recommend this place for their breakfast fare.

Kyle S.

Skip lunch service or just stick to drinks. We spent way too much for what we got. We arrived at 12:00 on 9/11, didn't get out till two, and ended up leaving disappointed. Here are the "high"lights: Staff was nice but took 20 min to acknowledge us. I don't think they had assigned sections, so we were lost in never never land until we grabbed the hostess. Our server was good once that was resolved. Wings - the Thai sauce was really good, and the tzataiki was really good, but the wings were overdone. The chicken was way overcooked - fairly chewy and burnt (odd, maybe they're grilled and fried?). The drumsticks were salvageable, but the wings themselves were inedible. It's almost as if they refried some cold wings rather than cooking new ones. Aloha burger was cooked ok but the meat was blah and over sauced, and the garlic fries were greasy and soggy. My wife ended up eating 1/4 of it and losing her appetite. I got the side salad with my pulled pork - it was ok but clearly not fresh. They did have 1/2 off craft beer on Wednesdays with a decent selection, and the waitress was nice. We also didn't send anything back (we should have), so I'm not sure if Lulus would have been good about fixing things. The bill for food we didn't really eat was also a huge bummer, as was wasting 2 hours on lunch looking at the beach instead of enjoying it. Overall I'd give it a solid 2 and won't be back.

Jeromy W.

Fun place. Live music. Great view of the ocean. Staff could have been a little more attentive, but not bad. I will go back.

Sharen P.

My husband and I came here on two separate occasions -- dinner and Sunday pm drinks at the bar. The hostess were friendly upon greeting us both times. We were sat with a view of Kapiolani Park & some of Waikiki Beach and the waiter attended to us immediately. We had our drinks within 3 minutes and our meal within ten minutes. I had a Mai Tai and Blackened Mahi, my husband had a Lava Flow and the Slow Roasted Hawaiian-Style Prime Rib. The Mai Tai was served in a small glass, while the Lava Flow was served in a taller glass. My blackened mahi had too much pepper on it, but the mashed potatoes and fruit salsa was great. The Prime Rib was a big portion, but most of it was fatty. Overall the meal was okay. The live entertainment was great. I don't know who performed on the night we were there (9/6/13) but he was a really good vocalist and guitar player. We went by for mid-afternoon drinks on 9/8, sitting at the bar. The bartender was lively. I had the Shark Bite, which was topped off with a pineapple fin and red blood dripping down from the fin -- loved the presentation! My husband had a blue hurricane, which also looked tasty. The atmosphere can get really loud, especially when a good game is showing on the screens, so this is not the place for a quiet meal. You will also be seated very closely to other people if you want the beach or park view. The one big drawback is the smell when you first approach the entrance leading up to the stairs. We almost didn't go in because of it, but went in once we realized the smell wasn't coming from the restaurant.

Kat D.

This review is for lunch today. I have visited this place several times and I am often pleased with the service and food. Despite the overly touristy area, this place seems to hold a more local vibe. There are often large groups of people in the bar area watching sports. They also have live music, I believe nightly. However, today I was a bit let down. I loved the avo/bacon/pepper jack burger and cajun fries that I split with a friend. Our server was trying to be helpful, however we ordered a few double cocktails that did not seem to be a double after all. I don't mind spending the extra cash for a longer pour, but it is such a bummer when you do not get what you've ordered. Our server also took a very long time to bring us our check. I could see her doing side work at the front desk and socializing with her co-workers. My entire table stared at her trying to get her attention. I finally asked a busser to get her attention for us. Perhaps we caught hero n a bad day, I will return regardless. Next time I will probably sit at the bar. The bar staff has always been really friendly and attentive in the past.

Ross A.

Cool place. Live music. Food is pretty good. Being a burger guy, I was surprised to eat a great burger here. The steak and other entrees tasted good as well, just nothing out of this world. The only cons about this place are: pretty loud (music plus people shouting over the music), and crowded even on week days. After all, it is in the heart of tourism city aka Waikiki...

Amanda J.

Best breakfast on Waikiki. Service isn't that great though every time we went. Loved to go there for drinks. Great location across from the beach. The food is also great no matter what time of day you eat. Has great drink specials and a variety of beers. Moderately priced for Waikiki. I go there every time and will continue to go!

Emily M.

I would rather hang out here than at Moose's. Doesn't seem as crowded. You can still dance, but there is still a bar. Its open to which is nice, then it doesn't get as hot. Only had food there once and it was nachos-you know, the late night drunk munchies you get.

K B.

Sorry for this rant, but this is a horrible noisy place full of obnoxious sports fans yelling at the TVs and/or untalented musicians entertaining the drunk masses. You can hear the place from a block away. Food is yuck, essentially fried everything. Service is so-so, reminding me of a wannabe Hooters. Have given this place a try a few times hoping that it will get better, but it never does. Oh yes, it has a view, but so what?

Jasmine M.

Will never be back here. Came here for the bcs bowl and the server charges more drinks on our tab then we even drank. Over it! Completely over it. Go out for a smoke and they have the audacity to pull three full blue moon pints off our table and charge us for it! Ridiculousness. I will never ever be back. Watch your tab guys because all they care about is their automatic gratuity. Will never be back! Not worth the bad service. The manager took off two beers to make things better but the damage was already done. Don't waste your money folks! Save it for better service ! I was a regular until tonight!

Julia P.

Standard breakfast food, nothing special. Service is overall good. Extremely touristy with your standard nice old retired people and your semi-annoying visitors from middle America (no offense, I myself lived in Indiana and Texas). The view is about as good as it gets for a scenic view of Waikiki. Not a bad place to eat an omelet.

Cindy B.

Came here for breakfast and was greeted by a friendly staff. The view was spectacular overlooking Waikiki beach. My boyfriend and I ordered two different types of omelet, they were both good. However, the stuffed French toast were awesome! So delicious! A must try if you eat here for breakfast.

Nathan N.

Definitely tasty food. Plenty of good choices for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Crab Cake Benedict and Corned Beef Hash!! Awesome. Banana Mac Pancakes with Coconut Syrup, WOO!!! Loco Moco, the local favorite with hamburger, gravy, fried egg, on rice, YES PLEASE! Let's do lunch now, Kalua Pork Nachos! NICE!! I wish I had more meals to try more. My wife had some Crab Cake and fish sandwich thing. She loved it. Add a great view, and it's a no brainer to try. Now there are definitely a few trees in the way, so it's not a completely perfect view, but what can you do, start chopping down palm trees? No. Now we can see the food is amazing. The service, needs a little help. Reading below, yes, I saw a few customers that were there when we arrived and we got served first. Why? Beats me. Could be the waitress, could be the chef. They were mad though. Also, the place could probably smell a little more like Hawaii and a little less like stale beer from the parting the night before. But what can you do. Humidity is a bitch. Overall, an enjoyable experience and I'm ready to go back and have a few late night drinks next time.

Mikey B.

Our first breakfast in Hawaii. Tremendous! Made the short walk down the strip from our hotel in search of a good meal. We arrived shortly after they opened. Staff was friendly and very pleasant, especially for 0700 in the morning. We were promptly seated at a "bar-style" table side-by-side with a great view of the strip and the ocean. Our waiter was prompt, courteous and professional. The orange juice and coffee was pretty darn tasty. Wife had the french toast and I had an egg-white ham and cheese omelet with white rice and an English muffin. Awesome! The food was hot, fresh and served quickly. Her french toast had that "melt in your mouth" effect and my omelet was one of the best I have ever tasted. Please, bring this to the mainland!

Mike K.

Solid food at prices that are a bit cheaper than other places in Waikiki. The staff was very pleasant.

Butch M.

went here last night for dinner, had the garlic Ahi and the prime rib. Both meals were very tastey. Price was expensive but in line with the touristy strip. We did not go for the live music which was very very loud, making it hard to talk with each other. But, that was alright. Stop in for a good meal.

To B.

Good for what it was, overpriced tourist trap. Nothing special. We came for breakfast and supper. Pancakes were large and delicious - nothing special. My cocktail was terrible, watered down and not served cold. Service was mixed, 1 out of 3 times our waiter was friendly and warm.

Mike B.

Great food, good service and great views of Waikiki. The portions are pretty big and I have yet to have a bad meal here.

Shay F.

Went for after marathon bite. The food was oily and there was a spider crawling on the table. But food is good after a marathon! Yelp 365 Challenge #134/365

Elle W.

The food was good. The service was good also. Ordered spam and eggs and I think I can do a better job. Maybe it's because the spam was a little burnt. Would've given a four store but the server forgot my sauce after asking for it twice.

Rich M.

The best place to eat breakfast and watch Red Sox games! Great eggs and hash, great French toast, we recommend lulu's. We've eaten here the last two mornings and have not been disappointed in the service or food.

Joseph A.

Great breakfast used to have awesome crab cakes but it got discontinued. Eggs Benedicts here are one of the best I've ever had. My girlfriend and I love their stuffed French toast... also have awesome seared ahi with Cajun sauce is godly... $3 primos at night with weekend djs no cover. I am forever a regular at this place

Jennifer T.

Our go to place when we see a show at the shell. Or I should say post show place to keep the buzz alive. I have had the food, but limited to nachos and chicken wings. I used to live right up the street and would come here for a couple drinks at sunset, really fabulous place to watch sunset, but now I am all the way at the other side or Waikiki, so alas its just post-shell watering hole.

Juva G.

The live music is always spot on, never too loud, and always great. All the food here is amazing. Sometimes, it's more than I want to spend, but I do have my favorites that I am willing to spend money on. Pasta Primavera (Veggie Style) is fantastic. Loaded with delicious veggies and perfectly saucy. The Steak and/or Chicken Fajitas. Always grilled to perfection, and it comes out to you on a sizzling platter loaded with meat and veggies, and smells divine. The Teri Steak is soooo good, and the garlic mashed potatoes are an excellent side to go with it. The Macadamia Crusted Mahi is DELICIOUS and not too filling, but perfectly proportioned. Get it with the rice pilaf. The Nachos are HUGE and can feed your whole party, and they are fantastic. I could keep going (clearly, I come here a lot) but I will stop there. These guys are also great about substitutions, especially due to dietary restrictions or allergies, they will always accommodate you the best they can. They've got great sunset views, and they are even open for breakfast. I HIGHLY recommend these guys.

Casey D.

We had appetizers here the other day and they were great. Came back for dinner and it was TERRIBLE. I had the Macadamia Mahi and my partner had the Chicken Fettuccini. Neither were any good. I give them 3 stars based on our first experience. Great place for a drink but dinner was a disappointment.

Cristina I.

This was one of the best breakfasts I had in Hawaii, portions are large, service was good and it has a nice view. Get the spam- you're in Hawaii!

Nick C.

One of my favorite places to grab a drink in Honolulu. Decent sports bar with a great view. This place does a good breakfast too.

Jamie O.

Mai Tai's are not good and food is more like a chain restaurant. Maybe good if you are unaware of good food. The view was nice but the food & drink quality was no good. I think that there are much better places to visit while on the island.

Mitch K.

I'm giving LuLu's five stars as we stayed at the Marriott Waikiki for five nights and ended up eating here five times. We decided to try it for breakfast one morning and fell in love with the ocean view, service, music, and overall atmosphere. Definitely try the stuffed french toast and their blueberry pancakes are awesome as well. On our last day in Hawaii we went there for a late lunch and tried the nachos with pork. Oh my it was a huge plate of nachos with a ton of toppings and that got us through the ten hour flight back home. We miss you already LuLu's and hope to be back soon. Save us some stuffed french toast!

Annie K.

5:00am - Woke up to get ready. I couldn't sleep last night because I was soo worried that I wouldn't be able to wake up. 6:05am - Parked my car. Arrive at Kapiolani Park but too early for the event. My colleague, my daughter, and I decided to walk to Starbucks to grab a cup of caffeine. As we were walking back to Kapiolani Park, my colleague shared with me that the restaurant above Starbucks, Lulu's Wakiki, has the best omelettes. 7:45am - The Heart Walk begins. We walked for 4 miles, up Diamond Head and back down to Kapiolani Park. It was a great walk. We were all tired at the end and hungry. Where did we go? Lulu's Wakiki. 9:45am - We were sitted and we ordered. Do you just love it when the menus are short and simple? You don't get too distracted. I ordered the Dawn Patrol omelette. Portugese sausage, crispy bacon, sweet honey ham with carmelized onions and green bell peppers wrapped in a nicely cooked sheet of eggs and melted cheese to top it all off made my morning grand. Breakfast fried potatoes and toast were included. It's the best when assorted jellies are out on the table already. No waiting for the server to come around. Not that the service was bad, it was good. 10:50am - Walking away from Lulu's Waikiki with a happy tummy. I am definitely coming back. The omelette is by far the best that I've ever had. And guess what? They have RC cola. Yay!!

Nat W.

They have a live music on Friday night, which I found was a bit too loud. The service was quick and fast. They have an ad claiming they have the best loco moco in Hawaii...well not true. It was not bad but it was surely not the best, rather average. Almost every place claims that they have the best loco moco written in Japanese....do not fall for it. I found the price was pretty reasonable for the location.

Jon M.

I've been here a couple times and had a good time both times. The bar doesn't get that packed, at least neither time I was there which were both on weekend nights. So it's a pretty mellow spot to chill with your friends. Drink prices are very reasonable (rather cheap compared to usual Waikiki prices). And they make their drinks pretty strong. UPDATE: Finally ate here today. I had the pork sandwhich and it was pretty tasty. My only complaint was the fries, they were ok, but I was imagining more from the garlic fries. It was just piles of garlic-type powder poured on top of fries. Not exactly the minced garlic i was thinking of. But still tasty. Typical bar style food. There were a lot of people there today too, lively place to watch some college football. And sitting at the ledge overlooking the beach with the whole place being open air was a pretty sweet spot for the afternoon. They are usually showing surf or skate, FuelTV-type shows on the TVs and they have a shuffle board to keep you entertained. Overall we've had good experiences here and it's a good spot to chill with some friends right across from Waikiki beach. I'd imagine it being an even better spot to hang in the afternoon if we ever make it down there that early. So next time we'll aim for the afternoon and see how it is! +cheap-ish drinks +strong-ish drinks +shuffleboard -food is so-so

Alexandra Y.

Besides having the best poke on the island ( that I have tasted, and I went to poke stop which was on drive ins, diners, and dives and a few others) their service is amazing! The girl who was our waiter served us with a sync of humor and was awesome. Wish I got her name :(

Ginger H.

Probably should be a 4.5 but the location and memories push it to a five for me. Breakfast review only: This is my go to place for breakfast EVERY TIME I'm back home (1st in front of my other favs of Longhis, Tango and Sam Choys). Parking is convenient at the zoo, the view of the pier and Waikiki is just fabulous, open air seating and no wait if you sit at the bar or in the bar area. Beware during football season (football and breakfast in the islands) ... can get crowded but we've never had to wait. Food: Deuces wild is my favorite but I will say the pancakes, loco moco and omelets are all sizable, tasty and beautifully presentated at great prices. Wait staff: .. always friendly enough but the service time is not consistent but I've had much worse. Go hungry, patient and with a great island attitude so you can RELAX and ENJOY some great grinds.

Derek M.

Probably not an ordinary 4-star restaurant, but with all the tourist traps in Waikiki, this was definitely above average. Came here for breakfast twice. Gorgeous views of the water, not terribly crowded, speedy service, two meals and coffee plus tip came out under $40. The good: the hash was tasty with pork, the stuffed French toast was huge and pretty good (with coconut syrup even better), the ahi eggs benedict was very generous and had good flavor. All portions were generous. The bad: the salsa on my omelette was uninspired (i.e., canned), the fruit bowl had too much melon and was generally underwhelming, the bacon was a bit chewy. All in all, though, it was a positive experience, and we were happy to go back a second time. Probably closer to a 3-star place, but given the location, a little better than average.

Connie V.

Lulu's is the best for a great burger with a view and their spicy bloody mary's are awesome!!!!!

Karen F.

I have never seen Lulu's not busy so don't go there for a quiet meal! DO go though for good service, good food, good value and an imaginative menu.

Jose d.

The stuffed French Toast with coconut syrup is EPIC! It may have been the best thing I had in Waikiki in the entire week I was there. We came for breakfast around 10 AM on a Sunday, walking past a huge line at Eggs N Things (which we never ate at, because of the line), and got seated immediately. A waiter was at our table quickly and kept the (very good) coffee coming. After taking our order, we did have to wait a bit for the food, but the waiter kept us updated. Once the food arrived, all was forgiven: the aforementioned stuffed French Toast was the star, but the Loco Moco was also excellent (both were very large portions). The Kalua pork is a good side and good quantity for the price. The only NOT excellent item was the regular French Toast - it was just OK (or not Go for the stuffed French toast or Loco Moco and you won't be disappointed. And the SFT is probably enough to feed two people.

Judy W.

Tasty food, friendly staff, great view of beach from this second story open air sports bar. Breakfast was great.

Diane H.

While my Teriyaki steak was awesome and cooked perfectly, my husband's 1st prime rib was way over cooked when he asked for medium rare. The 2nd one came out better but ice cold. The vegetables are steamed but the broccoli is closer to raw and barely warm. They ended up giving us the prime rib for free so they did the right thing in the end.

Aimee C.

Came for live music by Justin James who was a semi-disappointment for me. Anywhooo.... Stinky rag-smelling menus? Check. Sticky floors? Check. Mediocre food? Check. Manager willing to change the tv stations for us? Check. Sunset view of the ocean? Check. I'm pretty on-the-fence with Lulu's, but I want to def go back and try their stuffed french toast that everyone is mentioning. I'll let you know how that goes!

Jennifer W.

Came on a Tuesday night in July. My friend brought me to Lulu's because I wanted to hang out where the locals hang out, you know get the most of my vacation on Oahu. This place is pretty chill: televisions, open mic night, full bar, $3 blue pints of Bluemoon. (The first time I tried Bluemoon on tap!) If I were a local, I would come back to Lulu's! We parked in a free lot about a block away and walked over.

Kanoa P.

Best Monday night party on Oahu. Beautiful women, great music, good times. And you know what day is today!!!

Michelle O.

Loved this place so much visited if twice while in town. Great view of the beach. And food was pretty great. Loved the concept of rice with my eggs!

Stephen R.

There are not a whole lot of places in the world where you can watch the best sunsets, eat quality food, chat with easy going staff, and enjoy your favorite team all at the same time! Lulus provides that and more. There is a panoramic view of the Pacific Ocean and a comfortable ocean breeze smacking you right in the face at all hours of the day. The staff is all very helpful, outgoing, and laid back. There are somewhere between 10-15 televisions throughout the place and each of them is tuned into a different sporting event whether it be a surf competition, baseball game, or rugby. I personally go to watch my Bay Area teams most of the time. The food is above average. You can't go wrong with their stuffed french toast, and I usually go with the Longboard eggs benedict for breakfast. For lunch/dinner I go with the burgers or pork quesadillas...like I said...the food is above average and I have never had something I had to turn back or did not care for. All in all, the place is one of my favorite hangouts on the island. Great live music, great staff, good food and a one of a kind atmosphere!

Walter F.

Awesome location and view, subpar food and slow service. I will give them a break on the slow service since they were hosting a charity run of some sort. Parking is troublesome - you will prbably end up parking at the Zoo across the street, and the meter machines werent working soooooooo, we didnt pay AND didnt get a ticket. Whew!

Amanda C.

Every meal of the day, Great drink pours, View of Waikiki Beach from every table:0 Great looking staff, We all loved our waiter and he was on everything. Half off EVERYTHING on MONDAYS if you are in the industry or can produce a Honolulu Liquor Card. The entire party of ten got half off!! It gets dancy after dark and there is live music. I love going!

Jen D.

Came here every morning for breakfast, sat night for dinner and drinks, and Sunday for football! Everyone is so friendly, great food, and drinks. They don't show any type of UFC but I still love this place!

April B.

I ate here 4 times during my week stay in Hawaii. Twice for breakfast and twice after 10pm. Open mic night was awesome, I came alone and I did not feel like a creep at all. The drinks are tasty, and the nachos are huge. It was the best breakfast I had while on the Island.

Ellie F.

We stopped in for breakfast at Lulu's a couple times during our vacation. I gave into peer pressure and tried a Loco Moco...and it was awesome sauce! The view is amazing, the plumeria trees right outside give it that fantastic vacation feel, and they open early. Surprisingly we had some trouble finding breakfast joints within walking distance that opened early. Very filling, and the price is right!

Linh P.

We went here for breakfast since it was walking distance from our hotel. We ordered the Big Kahuna omelet and the Loco Moco. The omelet was filled with Kahlua pork, onion and cheese, topped off with a slightly spicy salsa. I liked it. My husband love his plate, the ground beef that they used was premium quality because it was tender, moist and has a really good flavor. I wanted to try their stuffed French toast but was too full. Maybe next time...

Justin W.

We came here last night because as we were walking past we heard the live music so we decided to go up and see what it was all about. Well we ended up getting seated and I ordered a blue moon and the cheeseburger and my wife ordered the shark bite and the tiger prawn salad. The food was definitely nothing special, she said the prawns had no flavor. However, Lulu's prides themselves on 5 or 6 certain drinks and the shark bite was one of them. They say they can't tell you whats in it, but it will leave you wanting a second. I would say not with the shark bite, this thing tasted more like a medicine and my wife could actually bare finish it. I would not recommend this drink. The music was pretty loud as well. It is not a huge place so the music I believe did not have to be that loud. I could not even have a conversation with my wife because it was so hard to hear each other talk. The music was good though just a bit too loud for me. As for parking you can park at the metered parking by the zoo or hope you can get some street parking nearby.

George R.

Best waitress/bartenders, great beers, cocktails, very good bar food, great live Music. Vinyl Wine on Friday Nights What more does a man need?..

Kristine P.

Good breakfast, friendly staff and superb view. Breakfast selection was goo and prices were appropriate. Not full 5 stars since it wasn't that impressive, but good enough.

Hans M.

Very good service, extremely friendly, great view, tasty food. Split the Maui Wowie salad with my wife, followed by a half portion of Kalua Pork Nachos and the best Coconut Shrimp I ever ate.

Yummy P.

Sorry Lulu's. You fail me in so many ways! I liked the fact that it was a early / late night spot, so I gave it a couple of tries. I did like the atmosphere and view...but what I experienced was: 1. No hostess at the door (though it says please wait to be seated) 2. 15 minutes till we actually got seated 3. 30 minutes wait for our server 4. 45 minutes for our food to arrive 5. Bad food = Bar food 6. Bad music 7. Smelly trash as you walk to the restroom (which is next to the bar) There are much better options on the beach walk for a late night munch / drinks or an early morning breakfast. Please do not settle for Lulu's! Walk away! Just walk away! lol

Paul S.

Was on the island of Oahu for vacation. Came here with my wife for breakfast after a walk across Waikiki beach from our hotel. We are big fans of cocktails with breakfast. Not that we are drunks. We just like to get our buzzes on earlier than most especially on vacation. The restaurant which is located upstairs. Has a partial view of the water of Waikiki beach. There are big huge trees upfront so depending where your sitting your view might be obscured. If you can, sit near the rail on the corner. I thought the view there was the best. Well I ordered a screwdriver and the "loco moco". Okay, first of all. The person who created this concoction of rice, hamburger patty topped with dark brown gravy and fried eggs is a genius. I went nuts over the whole thing. The hamburger patty was grilled to perfection. The gravy was awesomely rich and the eggs were cooked the way I like it. Definitely a winner. They also serve more traditional breakfasts as well as lunch, dinner and late night meals. I actually had "moco loco" again on the last day in Honolulu before going to the airport. We are already planning for a return trip to Hawaii. Lulu's is definitely one of the reasons I want to come back. The staff is pretty friendly and the wait for sitting and getting our food was almost nil. The cocktails were great and the prices are cheap compared to other places you can eat in Waikiki.

Rating: 3.5 Came to Lulu's based on some good reviews on other travel websites stating this was a good place for breakfast. So my review is based on that alone. Unfortunately, we got there too late (8am) to be able to sit by the railing (if you want a view), but we were close enough. We ordered: Stuffed french toast - loved it. you didn't really need syrup. very moist but not soggy. didn't care to much for the whip cream that it comes with (i was debating whether or not to ask for it, but meh, i tried it) good if you like sweet things for breakfast. Spam 'n Eggs - you can't go wrong with that. Denver "type" omelet - not sure of the name but the folks enjoyed it, and since they were sharing the dish, they even gave each one a portion on their own plate. Hash browns were more like country potatoes. Still delish. I was eating that off of everyone's plate it was so good. After reading the other reviews on how the service sucks, I'd have to disagree (at least with my experience). Marlena was an excellent server. Friendly and always checked on us. Reasonable prices too! Recommended if you're staying in the area!

Great place for a good burger and beer with oceanfront view.

Everything was great for breakfast. Love the puffer fish lamps. We had the seared ahi Benedict and the stuffed French toast. Both were really good. The ahi was very mild and mixed well with eggs and hollandaise sauce. Highly recommend. Kinda gotta take a leap of faith with this one but you will be glad you did.

Lulu's is great if you like a loud, party atmosphere. The location is fantastic, since it overlooks the ocean and is situated on the corner of Kapahulu Ave and Kalakaua Ave on the second floor. If you like to people watch, this place is for you -- from the beachwalk to just regular foot traffic, you'll see all sorts. We ordered the steak and a salad to split. The caprese salad was probably one of the best we've had in years; the tomato was sprinkled with sea salt and the mozzerella tasted fresh. The steak was delicious. Cooked to order, juicy, and tender. The mashed potatoes were pretty basic, but the pineapple slaw on the side was fab. All in all, this is a great place for casual dining while in Waikiki -- especially after a day across the street at the beach. Edit: We also went back to Lulu's for breakfast and omg! We are so glad we did. The stuffed french toast is an absolute MUST. Bananas, macademia nuts, and coconut syrup... mmmm. The Portuguese sausage was great (although the side portion is only 4 slices and we could definitely eat more than that), as was the Big Kahuna omelette -- which was way tastier than we could have imagined. DEFINITELY a great place for breakfast.

I had breakfast and lunch here several times already and it never disappoints. I'm not sure if its luck or slow business, but I would always have someone available to take my order in a timely manner. Sadly, the wait for the food is a different matter. The menus are stacked with choices where a single visit just won't be enough. A vegetarian menu is available for you sexy beach-goers trying to maintain your ABodactyls. Prices are... Well, it's Waikiki. Most places are overpriced in the land of tourism so I'd say its satisfactory. This place is also a pretty good night club on Mondays. I'm not sure what time the DJs are brought out, but I do know they leave at 2am. They have a $10 cover charge and the place is packed. Like, can't-find-any-walkway packed. They have a dancefloor after putting away most of the tables and chairs. They also have a minibar at the corner (where the "sit downs" congregate) to order drinks instead of fighting your way through a crowd of drunk dancers. So for you party animals looking for a spot on a Monday night, I just drew a map for you. [Warning: experiences may vary]

Myke F.

I've only been here for breakfast, so this review is based solely on that. Price, food, and service is awesome. Get the stuffed French toast if you've got a sweet tooth! The view is also spectacular, nothing better than an ocean view in the morning. The cocktails are great... Especially the Bloody Mary!! The screwdrivers are also good, although not as impressive in terms of presentation. The ONLY reason I'm not giving five stars is because of the somewhat limited breakfast menu. Also, when you walk in, you can smell the bar from the night before, as it's open til 4am for drinks. Regardless, you get over it in minutes.

Mike R.

Ok here is the deal, I had a bad experience a few years ago at Lulu's and vowed never to come back. So my wife and I arrive back in Oahu and Friday we are looking for some nacho's. We tried every reason not to go to Lulu's but I decided it was time to bury the hatchet and give them a try. So we arrive and order the Beach Boy Nacho's with the Kalua Pork. In one word they were AWESOME! Our server Maggie was professional and friendly and enhanced our experience. We will come back again. I was pleasantly surprised.

Russell B.

We actually ended up coming here twice during our trip. The first time we found ourselves here for a few late night drinks after dinner to help keep the night going. There was a decent little crowd watching the Hawaii football game. They had a good selection of beers including some local hawaiian beer for me to try out. The wife got their red sangria which was nicely sweet with a bit of cinnamon like spice and not watered down at all. They also had a couple of guys on guitars playing that were pretty good and said they were there every saturday night. We ended up here the second time the next morning when we found we had a bit of extra time before we needed to head to the airport and figured we'd stop in here quick for some breakfast. We were worried when we saw the place pretty packed around 8:30 with everyone watching football (I guess the bad part about being so far behind on Hawaii time that early). Despite this we were seated within 10 minutes. I went for the spam and eggs which came with a yummy corned beef hash that used these soft orange potatoes (don't think they were sweet potatoes). The spam was also pretty tasty but it would've been nice to have a little sear on it. Overall this place filled both late night and early morning roles quite well. Ya its a pretty touristy place located in the prime Waikiki beach area, but you could do a lot worse.

Lauren S.

Breakfast! Dinner! Mai tais! But honestly I don't feel like the food is beyond amazing or wonderful anything like that. But half off Industry night Mondays...that I can handle. :) Oh, and these maitais are a tad sweet but mmm good!

Alan T.

Nice environment with great views of Waikiki beach. There was a live band, but they were loud, making it difficult to hear conversation. I had the Loco Moco and there was ginger or some spice in the gravy giving it a different taste. The patty was overcooked (med well instead of medium).

Dimitri D.

Great ambiance for lunch because you re almost out in the open with a good view on the sea! The service was alright and they had fair prices for Waikiki. Gotta go back at night when live bands are playing.

Rockie N.

This review is purely based upon the late night experience. Lulu's was the only spot within walking distance from our hotel that was serving food into the night. Inside, you will hear Jahwaiian and Skawaiian bands doing their best Bob Marley imitations. Frat guys and girls dancing in packs fill the floor. And with that, Lulu's could easily be the set of and "Spring-break-wooh" MTV style party show. The food? The nachos plate could feed ten teen-ragers and the sliders compare with that of the White Castle burger. And for desert? Heartburn with a heap of horrible music. That's what we get for forgetting to eat dinner, I guess?

Kalani C.

Sorry Lulu's, you disappoint me. It's difficult to find a breakfast place on O'ahu, period. After my 22 mile run ended in Kapiolani Park, I decided to meet a friend in the area for some much needed sustenance. Place was semi-crowded on a Sunday morning. No rail seating, so we were escorted to a table near the bar. We immediately were served waters. Perfect, I need hydration. 10 minutes passed and no waiter. Seats opened up on the rail with a beautiful ocean view, so we made our move. About 4 minutes later, we were waited on and placed our order. My friend ordered pancakes, eggs, sausage; while I ordered steak and eggs. 35-40 minutes later, we got our meal. What took so long? The waiter said it was because I orderd the steak. So that explains why the people next to us and next to them and next to them, who arrived 15 minutes later than us, got their meals before we did. Okay, I get it, not. The quality of the meal was inferior and very different than before. Their corned beef used to be awesome, now it was 1/4 cup with onion skins still attached and the country style potatoes barely equaled 1/2 cup. The steak was acceptable, but the pancakes were flavorless and the maple syrup was thinned out. The only redeeming factor was the view and the bloody Mary (nice peppery zing). I can only imagine how things will be on Marathon Sunday; better to avoid at all costs. In fact, avoid, period. You most likely make better breakfast at home.

Maryrose S.

I loved the Loco Moco and the Gidget Fruit Bowl. Excellent service and great vibe. We came on a Sunday to watch the football games and were relieved to see a perimeter of televisions to watch to our heart's content. Whew! Add the ocean breeze and a beautiful view of the beach and you've got a winner.

Sherri L.

This is a great place to hang out. They have a counter that goes all around the restaurant with a view of the ocean across the street. I go there every time I'm in Waikiki. It's a sports bar so it can be a little noisy however their food is great and a very reasonably priced for Hawaii. My favorite is their Leahy's Ahi Salad! Yummy... Yes, they have Locco Mocco as well. I had to try it once! Yikes what a meal. lol Cheeseburgers are great too. Of course can't forget the killer Mai Tai. ;) Enjoy...... I did.

Sherryl C.

A+ view of the beach and conveniently located near the Honolulu Zoo. We were seated right away on edge of the restaurant that overlooks Kuhio beach. Ordered the stuffed French toast that was dusted with lots of cinnamon. And the loco moco was very filling. Con: random pigeons fly into the restaurant and sometimes onto the tables.

David F.

Went for breakfast. View is nice, as long as you aren't behind the trees. Great for people watching. I had the Longboard Benedict, which is basically the standard Eggs Benedict, and it was great. My wife had the Grecian Sunrise Omelette, and that was pretty good as well (lots of feta, if that's your thing). Orange juice was fresh ($4), and the coffee was great ($3). Prices were a dollar more expensive on the menu than listed on the website, but were the same on our tab. Wait staff was nice, not intrusive, and came by often. They had a tendency to hover, but were otherwise fine. We will go back, if we can afford it!

Norm G.

Just the facts, ma'am: 1. It's not air-conditioned, hence the occasional pigeon walking about the floor. 2. The menu is typical middle-American fare, which doesn't fit the view of Waikiki Beach. 3. The food took nearly 1/2 hour to arrive. 4. The children said the cheese in their grilled cheese sandwiches didn't taste good. They said they would rather have me cook some up for them! 5. My surf sandwich, which I thought would be mostly turkey breast and avocado was more greasy bacon than anything else, resulting in a net weight gain of three pounds in one meal. 6, The "oil and vinegar" dressing for my salad was just vinegar. 7. At 12 noon, the recorded music was already ear-splitting loud--another contradiction to the lovely scenery outside. 8. They apparently have waitresses tag-team each other, since there was one for the water, one to take the order, and one to deliver the order. 9. The waitress who delivered the food was friendly and cute, hence a good tip Hey, it's not her fault that the food sucked! 10. I felt like I was in an Orange County, California bar and grill on Waikiki Beach, which felt weird. I guess it would be wonderful if you were homesick for Orange County, though! 11. Last, but by no means least, I won't be returning until and unless they change names, owners, decor, and menu!

ray m.

. This place was awesome. All the way from the staff to the food, Lulu's is definitely one of the reasons I want to come back. The cocktails were great and the prices are cheap for Hawaii. The blackened Steak is to die for I do not know many places where you can order a steak that just melts in your mouth. The Bartenders all the way to the mangers were all A1.Met some really awesome locals as well. Can't wait to get back this fall to visit again.

Maxine M.

This review is for breakfast, and I have to say it's been scrumptious... Mimosa's all the way. Great spot to watch the people and day dream of the beautiful ocean. Ordered a tofu veggie egg white omlet and it was light and fluffy. Very clean and not heavy. The veggies were so fresh. Perfect. Had a side of bacon and it wasn't the standard cheap thin cut. Not saying it was Cracker Barrel southern or mid-western farm style, but very tasty and filling. The side of bacon was a nice complement to the omlet. This is my new breakfast club venue.

Deb S.

I will just have to repeat what others have said before me... the breakfasts here are amazingly delicious. Within walking distance of many of the beach resorts, across the street from the Honolulu Zoo, and great views of the gorgeous ocean. What more can you ask for? Well, if you are lucky they will create a new breakfast for you. Try ordering the Lulu's Loco Moco which is a traditional (delicious) loco moco with spam all mixed in under the gravy. Oh so tasty. We had to come back the next day and order it again. Their french toast is stuffed and propped on a perfect plate. The eggs benny (with spam instead of ham) is perfectly proportioned and prepared. Fresh fruit couldn't be any fresher, and the service is exceptional. The entire place is clean, and we loved the birdies flying in and out through the open air windows. Prices are decent. especially for Waikiki. Now... we returned late night (after 11pm) and had the kitchen sink fried rice. Also super super tasty and the service was still good, but... the drinks were awful. Note to Lulu's - hire a new bartender!! Still a 5 for us for food though. I love Lulu's.

Lyn L.

This place has a great view of the beach if you are able to get a seat in the area overlooking the street. It's got tons of TVs everywhere and would be perfect for watching sports. I came here for breakfast around 9 am on Tuesday and the place was not packed at all. We were seated right away, given menus and our drink order was taken. They offer orange juice, pineapple juice, passion fruit juice and guava juice. I had the guava juice and it tasted ok. I doubt it was fresh squeezed or anything, but it was still good. I had the dawn patrol omlette, which has honey roasted ham, crispy bacon, portuguese sausage sauteed with bell peppers, caramalized sweet onions and mushrooms, topped with melted cheddar and mozzarella cheese. I had it with the hash browns and sourdough. Was totally not expecting the hashbrowns to be mini potato bites, or the sourdough to be toast. I thought it was going to be a roll. Oh well. It all tasted good, but was just very, very greasy. It took us a while to get our food though. A couple of girls who came after us got their food before we got ours. Other than that, this is definitely a good place to go for the view.

Breanna C.

We stayed next door at the Aston for a week and ate here three times. The food is delicious, portions are good and worth every penny in the high priced Waikiki tourist area. Mixed drinks are inconsistent and could be stronger but we just ordered beer, which they have a good selection of. Great views of the beach and an amazing place to watch the sunset if you can snag a seat along the edge facing the water.

Ravena F.

If you love butt rock and sensitive-dude-with-tattoos music, then this place is for you. If you gotta have that average, tasteless poke appetizer that's served up and down the Waikiki stretch, well, come on over and get it. Can't stand another night without unknown well-brands in your happy hour drink? You know what to do. Looking for woo-hoo central? Ding ding ding! You found it! Of the three upstairs patio options on this end of Waikiki, this is my least favorite (see above). I will say that I do like the shuffleboard table. And the service is friendly and unobtrusive. But that's about it for good stuff in my opinion.

Michele R.

Recently hit Lu Lu's for breakfast with a group of six on a Wednesday morning. I was impressed by everyone's food. I got the blueberry pancakes with a side of bacon. The pancakes were wonderful--you get four, they were quite big (bigger than IHOP as a reference) and they were filled with blueberries. Syrup and even some whipped cream was served as well. I only had two of the pancakes, four was a bit much. The wait for the food was probably 15 minutes, which seemed too long, considering it was not at all crowded. The waiter kept the coffee coming. The only downside to our experience was we waited forever for the bill, as we wanted separate checks. I also really like their Poke, and for the view/location alone, it's worth just going in for a beer.

Maren B.

Lulu's is usually a pretty busy/loud atmosphere, sometimes has nice live music & $3 beers (Fri & Sat after 10, and some other weeknights...it's Primos on the weekends, and Blue Moon or Steinlager weeknights), but is always a solid choice for Kalua Pork Nachos (or quesadillas...or burgers)!!! I'm just a huge fan of the nachos...they're $15 when you add the Kalua pork, but they're a damn mountain of nachos! I prefer to sit at the bar, or at the tables in that area. They're usually good about service and getting your food out fast, but sometimes it's reeeally busy, that's for sure. I think I have an "good experience" track record here because I get to come back again and again....it's not the be-all-end-all of my vacation dining experience. So I can understand what visitors are posting. Late night eats are big for me, seeing as I get off work pretty late, and Lulu's serves a bar menu till 2:00am. If you try it once, just have it be for the Kalua nachos and cheap(er) beer after 10:00pm (even on weekends?! Come on, that's a drink special...in Waikiki much less!)

Monique R.

Haven't really eaten a main sort of meal here - yeh kind of touristy but a great location and view - nice atmosphere - kind of surfy - cas sort of bar - nice bar and variety of Beers on tap - didn't really go too much on their cocktails - love the dips and entrees - they are huge! But then again - coming from Australia - everything in the U.S is huge compared lol...great spot for live music and snack in my opinion - always go back there.

Drew P.

Second story ocean view... or you can watch one of the 15-20 flatscreens that was playing every single Sunday NFL game. Friendly wait-staff and decent prices. The Loco Moco is of course great... but the real dishes in this place are the corned-beef hash (with fruit in it- AMAZING) and the crab-cake eggs benedict. Granted I'm just a howlie, but I'll definitely be back. Yes I know it's a chain... I don't care.

priya r.

1. We ate here 3 mornings in a row. Who does that on vacation?! 2. You have a choice of sides: ALWAYS ALWAYS get the corned beef hash. If they forget to top your hash browns with the corned beef, that is even better because you say, "oh, you forgot the corned beef" and they come out with a huge bowl of corned beef and then, you are in heaven. 3. (Kona) coffee here is great. 4. Open to the outside restaurant, so a great breeze while you are eating. 5. View of the ocean. 6. Super close to the hotels. 7. Great, nice, service. 8. Cute surfboard beer opener for sale.

Brian B.

Shuffle board and beer and live music. They serve food too but I've never once tried it. I've always been too busy drinking and playing shuffle board. I'm not sure the schedule for live music, but some nights it's live, others it isn't. The place can get a little packed but it's always been a good time on Waikiki.

Jill H.

Overall very good experience. The breakfast is just so-so and a bit overpriced for what you get, but a decent bar breakfast. Dinner is pretty good for the price and the nightly live music was great (went back twice). Definitely recommend.

W Q.

This is just a typical bar, but with excellent live music; however, if you come here on a Monday night midnight-ish, it gets crazy crowded with locals. Monday night at lulus is the spot to be in Waikiki (other nights are just boring, with exception on Friday) If you come here on Monday, plan on getting drunk before you get here, because it's going to be pretty difficult to get drinks here Monday night they are craaaaazy busy. unless you know someone in the industry then you get drinks flowing plus discounts. On other nights it's just a normal bar, the female bartenders are BEAUTIFUL and very attentive. The service here with the waiters is terrible, they are the people giving this place a bad name. (lulu's is pretty much well known for rude service) i brought in 6 friends and ordered drinks at the bars, it was a sunday night, live music, but the restaurant is dead, lots of open tables. We sat down at one of the open tables, a waiter in his 20s/30s with facial hair basically yelled at my out of town friends visiting hawaii to leave the table because they ordered drinks at the bars. Pretty disgusting server (needless to say we did not order second/third rounds with this raging idiot), luckily i did a little damage control and moved my out of town guests to the bars and reassured them not all lulu's wait staff is like this. The bar tender said we are allowed to sit where ever we like and that particular waiter is just a major douche bag. We opt to stay at the bars and listen to live music and avoid the dinner tables patrolled by the table nazi. would i return? yes, on a monday only with my local friends. and i would definitely not bring any of my out of town guests visiting hawaii here, it gives a really bad impression of waikiki and hawaii. lulu's rude waiter is a really bad WTF moment for my guests visiting hawaii. p.s. for your out of town guests i would recommend bringing them somewhere with more upscale 'service' like Tiki's grill and bar next door, same price on alcohol, excellent live music, i can't say enough good things about the waiter/waitress at Tiki's. much better service and tourist friendly. you won't have any WTF moments at Tiki's.... YIKES LULUS!

Joe I.

On a business trip in the area and the concierge at the hotel recommended this place for breakfast. I liked it so much I came back for dinner that night. For breakfast I had the papaya as well as the eggs benedict. (If I can't decide between two breakfast items...why not have both?). For dinner I had the blackened mahi. Everything was delicious. Easy to find, great open area, wonderful views. Recommended.

funopher c.

Great view of the beach and good service. Perfect place for breakfast if you want to stick around the main strip of Waikiki...but our heart and loyalty stays with Kaila's Cafe for yummy goodness. Had one of their healthy choice omelette (it was huge! - filled with cheese, spinach, peppers, ham, and onion) served with corned beef hash (perfectly seasoned and a little crisp to the potatoes) and wheat toast...not so sure what was so healthy about it. =)

Alison F.

The food has that touristy taste to it. I've been here a number of times the past couple of weeks because this is the closest restaurant and I've been in a lazy mood. I've had the crab Benedict...it was ok it is enough for two people. The ahi salad and mac nut Mahi are ok as well. My co-worker had the prime rib which looked good and could feed two people. I have one complaint...the last time I was there my server spent a lot of time trying to sell his surf lessons to the couple next to me....I waited and waited for my appetizer and continued to be patient even after the two customers that sat after me received their dinners. It was getting late and I was so tired I was pretty much over it and proceeded to the hostess stand to pay for my glass of wine. I let them know that I hadn't received my appetizer and after waiting so long I didn't want to have to wait on that and then even longer for my entree. I just wanted to eat and opted to go to Teddy's. The manager apologized and offered to pay for my wine, which was nice. Tiki's is nearby as well, similar to Lulu's and the food choices are better....

Lauren K.

"Burgers good, musics good, decors good" - The boyfriend The food and service is pretty consistent, and it's a great place to people watch as theres a direct view overlooking the beach. It's decorated with all of Hans Hedemanns old surfboards (his surf school is located underneath). Theres a little sports bar area, a counter facing the beach, and a general seating area with a bunch of tables. The atmosphere is really chill and laidback. At night they often have live music, these two girls in particular play really good covers of popular songs. It can be a weird crowd- but thats a given in Waikiki. For breakfast, I would recommend the stuffed french toast or the eggs benedict with crab cakes. Keep in mind the large portion sizes when you're ordering. For dinner, start with the nachos and get the magnum pi burger with volcano fries. PS: They have wifi too *thumbs up*

tiffany t.

food is good and place is right across the street from waikiki! Amazing view. The only cons are that the menus smelled like a dirty rag and for some reason they always make the mistake of giving you white bread when you order wheat. (This has happened to me on three separate occassions). Other than that, the its good food, great prices and a great view. ** I also know this place turns into a bar at night. Go here if you're in hawaii!

Jay P.

Fish nachos were amazing.

Ryan R.

I am going to go ahead and 5 star this bad boy! Lulu's was our spot....my wife and I would hit this beach lookout after a rough day of beachin' it when we lived on the island of O'ahu. Really the 5 stars is for the location and atmosphere; in reality you just need to expect bar food but I liked the wings and my wife always got the nachos which were pretty top shelf in my opinion. We always, always, always made sure to get seated on the bar seats overlooking Waikiki beach otherwise the place loses it's magic. Make this a for sure stop if you are ever in Waikiki, especially after spending an arduous day of doing nothing on the beach. Walk in with your beach gear and leave them a little sand.....if not for the food or drinks, do it for the view and an unmatched sunset.

Alex K.

Something about the place seems a little off, and the happy hour ends at 6... It seems it's almost there but the smell is a little funky and it's open to the beach but still kind of dark. Not the greatest place to catch the game. The tv in the corner didn't rotate and also didn't play sound. They staff was trying hard to help us out though.

Jedd J.

Not bad for Waikiki. Good salad and fish tacos. Right on the beach, near the Marriott.

Denise M.

Stopped here for a quick lunch - were given a space at the bar seating around the perimeter of the patio and had a great ocean view. When we walked in, the smell of BBQ was overwhelming, so my husband had to get the "Angry Hog" - it was delicious! I wasn't as hungry, so ordered the grilled island catch salad - it was generous with the avocado (excellent!) but something was a bit spicy, which I wasn't expecting.

Mike I.

We were looking for a breakfast place in the middle of breakfast rush and heard about Lulu's. It was on top of a Starbucks so it had a great view of Waikiki beach. The menu had a good variety of foods at reasonable prices. The papaya with a squeeze of lime was the perfect balance of tang and sweetness. They make their own corned beef hash and it had a good ratio of meat and potatoes. Quick service had us in and out in 30 less than 30 minutes. Definitely will be back.

Lyra H.

This was my very first time to LuLu's. It was a popular place for my friends a few years older than me. Unfortunately by the time I turned 21, the LuLu's craze ended. I was interested to go to this place though. We decided to go here after a day at the zoo. The first thing that made not enjoy this establishment is the fact that there are SO MANY BIRDS. I understand that their establishment is open, so birds and such could fly in, but if that's the case I feel that they should make more of an effort to make sure there isn't food left on the ground for birds to fight over. The sole reason I can't give this place anything over a one star is the service. Our waiter was horrible. We waited for at least 5 minutes for him to even come over to our table. I understand it can get busy, but even if you have to just walk by with a tray filled with things, acknowledging you have a table would be nice enough. When our waiter finally arrived, he just took our order and left. We ordered drinks with our meal. Our drinks took a while top. The food itself wasn't bad. I thought it was tasty. I had the Magnum PI burger (drrooooooooooolll). My BF hadn't ordered a drink because he was considering dessert. But after eating his meal, he realized he wouldn't be able to finish the dessert he was eyeing, so opted for a drink. He ordered his drink and saw the waiter punch it in. After 5 minutes or so go by, my BF & his sister are wondering where the drink is. They look at the bar and see a drink (that they think is his). They aren't sure if it is, so they don't think anything of it. A few more minutes went by, and they started to look for our server. He was on the opposite end of the restaurant talking to his coworkers. My BF waited another 5 minutes till he got his drink. Needless to say my BF & his sister were very disappointed, and his tip wasn't too big.

Linda S.

We went in for dinner. It is right on Waikiki Beach with really nice view especially if you sit on the rail. Food was very good and portions were large. Wait staff was very friendly. The only negative is that it is very very loud in there. The talking was louder than the live music.

Mymy N.

Lulu's was right around the corner from where we stayed on vacation and we visited it twice. The first time while bar-hopping down the beachwalk where we encountered a live band that was pretty awesome. We didn't order anything to eat or drink but the band, the cool vibe and the outdoor feeling of the place with the cool breeze made it an awesome end to our night. We came back for breakfast on our last day and enjoyed the view of the beach while we ate. I got the eggs benedict and it was pretty standard. I like the fresh fruit option that came with it instead of potatoes. My uncle got a kalua and rice plate and only in Hawaii can you get rice for breakfast! A pretty solid breakfast spot and A+ for the view.

Noneya L.

My first beer on tap was flat as hell. I switched to a can of maui ipa beer. Beer was okay in the can. Nothing special. 2 stars for the partial view of the ocean. They had seats reserved but no one sat there for hours. Wth.

Bruce W.

Papaya, eggs, Portuguese sausage, coffee. Superb. Beautiful view of the ocean. Delightful service. Couldn't ask for more.

Corey C.

This place is just fantastic! I went here for breakfast maybe 5 times while I was staying in Honolulu, and I didn't have one disappointment. In addition to awesome food, the service is very friendly, and they have open-air seating that gives you a great view of the ocean and passers-by. They have a fantastic deal where for $10 you get 2 pancakes, eggs, 2 pieces of bacon, and corned beef hash. I'd highly recommend the corned beef hash as they make it themselves, and it is fantastic. Their french toast, eggs benedict, and waffles are also great, and they constantly bring you free refills for your coffee.

I stopped in here for a few drinks, while hanging out on the beach at Waikiki. My buddy and I walked in at headed straight for the bar. Had a couple of beers and a couple of other drinks. The bartender was pretty good. Quick service and just the right amount of conversation. Although we didn't have anything to eat, I gotta say the food that I saw coming out looked really good. The location is great as it is directly across from the beach. There are tables along the outer area which would provide a great view of the happenings around the beach.

I'm giving this 5 stars because we got an excellent breakfast with an awesome view and there was absolutely no line. The breakfast are huge and you will not go away hungry. This was a little hard for us to find using the map feature through yelp. It is on top of Starbucks on the corner.

Not gonna lie, my taste buds weren't working at full capacity when i ate here due to a booze cruise which had all but wiped my entire crew out. So somehow we ended up here and ordered the kalua pork nachos and some sort of crab dip thing. I'm pretty sure it was good because honeslty kalua pork nachos sounds awesome and we ate all of it. And there was alot. I recall the crab dip as being good but a little too salty. In any event midday drunkeness leading to midday drunk munchies had the providence of leading us here and i'm thankful for it.

Jane D.

Come here to drink, listen to live music and meet some locals (and tourists too, I suppose). I only ate 1 thing, the pork nachos, which were too big and fine enough, but I would recommend eating elsewhere and then coming to sit and hang out. Very fun.

I had to use "three" living social coupons worth $40 in one day. Here is a review for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. My brother and I had the dawn patrol omelet, he with corned beef hash browns and mine with rice. We both had a cup of coffee. The food was good, Kelly our waiter was great, and the seats we had by the rail overlooking "walls" or the kapahulu groin was unbeatable. It put things in perspective, and made us appreciate how specil itis to live in Hawai'i. For lunch, a business associate and I had club sandwich on wheat and a grilled chicken sandwich, both with fries. We also had a chicken quesidilla to go. Once again we were very fortunate to secure a seat on the rail. The "rail" is a counter that is filled with seats on the perimeter of the restaurant that enables you to have the most incredible views in Waikiki. You can people watch, see the surfers and body boarders catch waves after waves, and the sunrise and sunsets are gorgeous. For dinner, my wife and I had therib eye steak and a cobb salad. The rib eye steak was delicious. It was accompanied by seasoned zucchini and carrots, sauteed mushrooms, grilled onions and green peppers. The cobb salad was porportioned just right. Bacon, turkey, blue cheese, tomatoes, egg slices, sliced zucchinis, and a great house dressing. The manager, Nick, was very personable, and came around to ensure that his guests were satisfied and enjoying their evening, a nice touch.

Monique C.

Def the nicest/cleanest Lulu's in HI. Service kinda slow. We came in to watch sunset and go a seat at the bar overlooking Waikiki town. We ordered the nachos...pretty good...

Alaina R.

Great place that's in the heart of Waikiki but without the touristy nonsense. We ate here more than once on our vacation and enjoyed everything we tried. Nothing was exceptional, but everything was good. The staff was friendly and we were able to watch whatever games we requested on their big screen tvs. they have live music at night and the place has a great relaxed feel about it. the prices were normal which is hard to find in waikiki. Loved the local vibe. great view for any meal, but having breakfast along the rail is a great way to start the day in hawaii.

Mike Q.

If you are in a big group this place is not good. The manger is a giant a$$hole about splitting the bill.

Jason F.

I came to Lulus twice for breakfast, and it's great. Both times we sat on the balcony edge facing across the street to the beach. Great atmosphere and location. The service was a little slow, but the food was delicious. The corned-beef hash is awesome. Same with the khalua pork omelet. Menu selection seems a little lacking. I will absolutely come back, and always tell my friends about it when they visit.

Nicole B.

Came here for breakfast- terrific eggs Benedict with Cajun hollandaise sauce & Honolulu 's version of cornbeef hash. Plus all the college football you can watch - even had the big ten network! Will be back next time we are here!

Julia S.

You know when you go to tourist towns and the locals know the tourists keep them afloat but they resent them all the same? Welcome to Lulu's where they know they can be aholes to you because they probably will never see you again. We came in to watch the nba finals game and get some food because it ess close to the hotel and I was concerned about the poor reviews but the game has already started and it was close. The waiter seemed to go out of his way to be unfriendly and not helpful, letting us know we only had 8 minutes left for happy hour even though the clock said 15 and saying "I can't let you keep a menu because we're changing to dinner" instead of a more positive "why don't I bring you the dinner menu since we're switching over in a few minutes." Rarely do I not tip but why reward someone who is daring you to leave? Skip this place. So many better choices to enjoy your things in the most beautiful place in earth.

Katie K.

Let me just start me off by saying that I do not go here for the food! At all, seriously, not the spot to go if you're hungry. As often as I go here, I still never know what to order, when I need some food to absorb all of the alcohol I consume at Lulu's. But having said that, I am a regular at Lulu's and will continue to go their to watch baseball games I can't get on my own tv, and of course, football every Sunday at 7am! Mondays are also great--half off all day for industry people, amazing! And this review would not be complete, for my favorite bartenders, Mallory and Freddy, who are a big part of why I always have a great time when I go to Lulu's! They're the best!

William H.

I should take hotelier recommendations with a grain of salt. This place sure is a tourist trap with horrible service. It took forever and a day to take our order, they ran out of mojitos (their mai tais are decent), and they weren't even at full capacity! Food was average.

Gil A.

Loco Moco with a side of Spam... wha???? That's why I'm a fan. Great view too and above an ABC store no less.

H B.

This is a pretty cool bar and grill. Nice place to watch sports games. The bf and I stopped in to watch the Flyers game and made it just in time for HH. The daquiris were $4 during happy hour and they were mighty good. They don't skimp on garnish either, each came with a slice of pineapple, marachino cherry and purple orchid. We also got an order of wings which were pretty good. The service was good and the view is amazing. It's a cool place to have a couple drinks and enjoy the beauty of Hawaii.

Michael L.

My favorite place to eat and listen to live music. Atmosphere is great, with the ocean breeze with the open balcony style. Flat screens to keep an eye on the games. I like ordering the fried calamari and buffalo wings. Anytime I'm in Waikiki, this is my spot.

Caleb R.

My favorite sports bar in Waikiki!!! Great place for a beer, Mai Tai or whatever drink you desire. Great views of the ocean! Also great live Hawaiian and acoustic music in the evenings!

Bonnie S.

My boyfriend were on vacation and stayed in the Waikiki area..we wanted to look for a breakfast place to eat at and decided to yelp around the area..and we came across Lu Lus. We read some of the reviews that fellow yelpers yelped about and we decided to give this restaurant a try. I got the stuffed french toast and let me tell you, it was the best stuffed french toast i have ever tried! it wasnt too sweeeet, it was just perfect! It had whip cream and chunks of macadamia nuts sprinkled on top, it was amazing.! My boyfriend got the omelette which had bits of ham, mushrooms, and bell peppers and sausage..which wasnt too bad, a bit plain but still full-filling. He also had a glass of cranberry juice with it which was waaaayyy too sweeet. I guess that's the only complaint we had.. Our bill added up to about $27 with tax and tips so it wasn't too expensive either! If i ever go visit Waikiki again, I would definitely eat at LuLu's again

Seth A.

Nice view of the beach if you sit in the right place you can get some good people watching in. Service was good, they knew when I wanted the check before I even asked. Plates are massive, so bring you're appetite!

Patrick M.

Fun place with a cool view of the beach and chill vibe. Friendly and efficient staff. The band which plays regularly on Saturdays is really good. Food is pretty good with a lot of standard nacho and chicken wing options. Had some ahi poke which was really fresh. Another trip I tried some seared ahi which was almost cooked through. Cool spot in a fun area. Gets a little too crowded some nights.

Lauren M.

This is a beautiful location to enjoy breakfast! The stuffed french toast is delicious as is the beach benedict. The hashbrowns are more like homefried potatoes, which I personally prefer. Service here was very warm and welcoming. I look forward to coming here for the first breakfast on our next trip to Waikiki.

Darrin S.

Very pleasant atmosphere and staff. Loved the breakfast and the view

Bryon T.

I have been going to Lulu's for about 4 years! Decent comfort food: Burgers, sandwiches, salads, etc... Awesome garlic fries. Plenty of TV's to watch your favorite games! Cool Beach bar hangout spot with great views of Waikiki Beach. Live Music at Night! Good place to fuel up with drinks before hitting a concert at the Shell!

Inthira M.

The only time I come here is on Mondays when it's industry night and all you have to do is show your yellow/blue liquor card or a pay stub from a restaurant/bar/club and you get 50% off the entire food and drink menu. I know, right? Awesome!! A ribeye that would cost $24, is now $12 (it's a 12 oz cut served with your choice of starch, veggies, and horseradish and au jus and is mouthwatery good). The $12 nachos that are now $6 is a HUGE and I mean HUGE plate of corn tortilla chips, covered with melted cheese, tomatoes, black olives, black beans, Jalapenos, Maui onions, sour cream, homemade salsa and guacamole. The chicken wings are spicy (go for Lava hot) and come with a side of bleu cheese dressing and celery sticks. The calamari is drizzled in a chipotle aioli and marinara and is crunchy and good. The teriyaki steak bites is a great appetizer if you don't want to get a steak for dinner and is smothered with mushrooms and after the 50% off is only $5!! I know, it's less than Blazin' steaks. One dish that one should never order, The Tiger Eye Sushi Roll. It is the worst sushi I've ever tasted and the rice is hard and there's so much rice I can't even taste the crab, cucumber, and carrots that's in there. It's supposed to be dipped and then deep fried but there's barely enough batter to cover it it still looks like regular sushi. It's kind of funny because when it came to the table everyone said, "why'd you order that it sucks." And they were right. That 50% always seems to bite us in the ass, though. We always come in a big group and this last time, our bill was $500... after the 50%. So even though everything is 50% off, don't go overboard like we do!!

Steph v.

Now I have to be honest, the food here isn't the best. Well not all of it. the loco moco is good, the salads are huge, and the fajitas SMELL divine!, and the eggs Benedict! All delish, But what keeps me coming back is Freddy, Mallory, Mike, RJ, Sonny and FOOTBALL! They open at 7am for the games! It's our neighborhood watering hole. Industry night every Monday all day 1/2 off! you can't beat that! Thanks for all the great times!

KJ K.

One of my favorite places to eat in Oahu. A nice local feel to a tourist restaurant/bar. Excellent food (stuffed french toast), kick ash coffee and great service.... Aloha :)

Jordan L.

If you're looking for a great breakfast on Waikiki, Lulu's is a great option. The banana pancakes and ahi eggs benedict were delicious. Sit at the window bar for a view overlooking the beach.

Jenn S.

We had the most awesome burgers ever! The bun was fresh and the patty had such a great charbroiled taste. We've stayed at the Park Shore hotel (right above it) on 3 different occasions,and didn't know what was litterally right under our noses! The atmosphere was great, and you certainly can't get a better view! Our favorite burger joint when vacationing in Honolulu has always been Cheeseburgers in Paradise....not anymore! 5 stars all the way!

Michael K.

Plenty of TVs to watch a game or surfing highlights. A few cold beers on tap. Must try the nachos. Big plate of chips and they use Real Cheese! Great service... We did come back another night for the nachos and beer again.

A Y.

Compelled to come here on the last day of our trip because of the LivingSocial deal. We ate elsewhere and stopped by for drinks and snacks. Drinks were decent, no complaint. The full bucket of half spicy wings and half bbq was humongous. The serving was extremely generous. Crowd was rowdy and there was a band playing. Seemed like fun atmosphere and a good hangout. Not a vacation destination though.

Leigh A.

I'm giving it stars for the beach views and very nice staff. Great combo for when you want to kick-back on vacation by the beach. The food, however, I have found to be average. Nothing memorable, but nothing awful either. But for a beachview and beer served with a smile, that's fine by me. Next time I must try the Loco Moco the others mention here. Also, a friend I know to be a food snob tells me the prime rib is excellent. I love prime rib, how did I not see it on the menu?! I'll definitely try it on my next trip too.

Eunice F.

not a bad place for breakfast if you are in waikiki already... parking is tough... but there's usually paid parking by the zoo.... food took a long time to get, the morning we went the placed was slammed with people, but we only had to wait about 15 minutes before they sat our party of 6. food was pretty good and the prices were reasonable. can't beat the location, right across the street from the beach... great view!

Thao L.

If you want to go to a Bro bar and eat good food, please come to LuLu's.

An-Nhien L.

I feel that I must give this place two separate ratings. One for night life and one for breakfast life. 1. Night life: We came there one night as we were stumbling back from an unsuccessful night of "bar hopping" (you can read my review from those bars if u please) and peeked inside. Live band playing was pretty good--we only heard the last 10 minutes of the set--and apart from the creepy guy from.... o man i dont even remember where he told me he was from--it was a nice mellow way to end the night. 2. Breakfast life (more important anyway) This was on the last day of our trip to Hawaii and I was feeling my arteries clogging up from all the unhealthy foods i had happily consumed during our stay so I ordered the Papaya for breakfast. Just simple--half of a papaya with some lemon. It definitely hit the spot and I enjoyed every bite! My cousin's eggs benedict were also delicious! (yea that added to the artery cloggin) It was a great way to end the trip!

Celestina A.

You have to try the macadamia banana pancakes with coconut syrup!!!!!They were amazing!!!!The prices were kind of high,the location was great and if yuou sit at the counter, you get a view of waikiki beach!

Audrey S.

Lulu's was the first restaurant my mother and I went to in Hawaii that was actually packed. There was a half hour wait to be seated on a Saturday night and the place had a very cool vibe. We opted to get appetizers and I loved the honolulu hot tuna. My mom got the teriayaki steak bites. We liked the apps enough to come back to Lulu's the next day and try their breakfast. I had the black and blue benedict and really liked it, my mom got the crabcakes benendict but liked mine better. The service was really good and we had a cool table overlooking the ocean from the second floor. This was one of my favorites places in Waikiki. Definitely recommend this place! The prices are also very reasonable.

Eryka W.

We were thrilled with our lulu's experience. Michael was our server an he was amazing! The view from the restaurant can't be beat an the open air floor plan allows you to enjoy Hawaii. I had eggs and pancakes - it was delicious! There was so much food! My husband had the crab cake Benedict, also amazing. Everything tastes fresh! The kona coffee was the perfect compliment to the meal!

Jennifer F.

It was almost midnight and we needed to eat. Where could we go? Lulu's saved us. Best part about this place other than the location is the HUGE portions - again, rare in most tourist restaurants - and how quickly the food comes out. We visited twice and were pleasantly surprised each time. Thank you, Beach Boys Nachos. Service was good, live entertainment was just that, as some tipsy bargoers decided to break out the dance moves.

Michael Y.

This place is right next to the beach with an amazing view! We have been there for for their breakfast and lunches, both were really good. They have nice big portions and price is decent. Highly recommend their Loco Moco, one of the best I have tried!

Laura D.

It was fun and food was good!

Matt H.

Nice atmosphere and the service is good. The grilled ahi salad was really quite tasty, although another friend who was with us said his was cooked all the way through while mine was seared. They had a band playing, and they were good, but it made it hard to carry on a conversation without having to yell.

dorothy f.

I am giving this a 4 stars for service and view. We had breakfast this morning there. Not bad; the bloody mary's were good, had the spam rice and eggs. (we are in Hawaii) and the child's french toast. topical Waikiki prices but the view makes it all worth while. Again hope to make if back there before we go.

Bill Y.

Great ocean views at the far end of Waikiki is the only reason this former Denny's location get's 2 stars instead of one. Perhaps I'm being unfair, but tonight we were able to try 3 of the dishes, and none was great. All of them were a disappointment in some way. The Thai chicken wings were about the least interesting wings I've ever had. I guess if they were Chinese chicken wings, I wouldn't have expected something spicy. Thai? Really? There was nothing Thai and nothing spicy about them. If you order wings, perhaps try the OTHER wing choice. They'd have to be better. The teriyaki steak was so full of fat that I felt like the cook had just got fired and wanted to punish someone. It's just impossible for a steak to have as much gross fat as we got. I politely suffered through most of it. When the poke came, it tasted fine, but it was pretty pricey compared to similar poke dishes we've been served on this island. Of the three dishes, I suppose I could almost recommend this. Two women sat next to us and asked us what was good... I told them to ask their waiter because we couldn't really recommend anything we'd got. A few minutes later, I noticed they had burgers. Those burgers looked pretty good. Maybe we'll try those next time. Why is there a next time? you may ask. Well, we've got another $40 voucher to use. Regardless of the food and what MUST be our bad luck (no way everything could be that bad on a daily basis), this location has some great surf views. You'll want to sit facing outwards towards Diamond Head and the surfers. Unfortunately, I haven't finished. I need to note that we were pretty uncomfortable for the first few minutes due to the smell of stale beer (or worse) and cigarette smoke drifting up from the smokers on the street below. I think we must have gotten used to it because I only remember that bothering me the first few minutes there. But, something was definitely wrong... that combination of smells just wasn't natural. In any case, if you're looking for a happy hour facing the ocean with nice views, I can recommend the drinks. Some beers at $3, Longboards at $4, maitais at $5. It's worth coming here for drinks and the views. But the food? Zero stars. Sorry this review is so negative. I'm OPTIMISTIC it will be better next time!!!

Veronica C.

Service seemed a bit slow even though there were barely any customers (we were there at around 2pm). I had a crab cake sandwich which was pretty good and very large. Too large for me to finish, but what really topped it off were the delicious garlic fries. They were just the perfect crispiness and the garlic wasn't too spicy or overwhelming. I also tried some of my friend's volcano fries (which I think they said they used cayenne pepper or something?) and they didn't taste that great. My overall meal was expensive... close to $20. Oh, and my friend tried the burger with peanut butter on it (the Dick Butkus one?)... He said that was interesting... and said he might try it at a BBQ sometime... but I wasn't sure if he was joking or not.... haha, you can decide for yourself. Ah yes, and my friends and I wanted fries again that same night, but apparently it becomes some sort of night club/bar scene with super loud music, so it was a no go for us.

Erin Y.

Just a block from my hotel, I got a tip on this place from a friend who used to inhabit the Lulu's in Kona before he moved to Hilo. My friend was totally correct. I hit this place up on a night where there was live acoustic music, and got a seat at the the railing, looking out over the waves as I sipped my drink and filled myself with delicious mahi mahi crusted with macadamia nuts. Perfect sauce, the vegetables were cooked to perfection, and we had great service. All together, a great meal. Only made better by the adorable merchendise i brought home. I'll be the first to admit it, I adore Hawaiian kitsch. Needless to say, I could not resist bringing home the pint glasses with the vintage hula girl dancing away.

Dan D.

It's A-OK, but just that. I don't find too many special things about this place, but due to it being away from the rush, but still in Waikiki I still make it there at least once a trip. The food is okay, and they do have music pretty frequently (although based on some of the bands I wished they didn't sometimes). Lulu's is best for when you get into town at 5pm, have a quick run to Genki because you can't wait any longer, then close a travel day with a beer out at Lulu's. Pretty nice draft selection too although a dollar or two more than they should be.

Stephanie B.

The food here is ono. We went with some guest from the mainland for lunch. We were seated quickly. There is a nice view of the beach, especially if you sit a the bar along the windows. Our food came fairly quickly, but we went really streamed over it since we were munching on nachos topped with pork. The crab cake po boy was delish. The server was very friendly and quick to make sure we had everything we needed. The one funny thing was the couple of birds walking around in there whom stayed at my toddler's chairside since he always drops food.

Jenni H.

This place has excellent service and mouth watering food. Did I mention the view is amazing! Thanks for making our stay on Oahu worth it. Don't change a thing. Some of your neighboring restaurants could learn a thing or two!

Clinton D.

Our first night in we ended up here for late night snacks and it was a great atmosphere. Food was good, nothing amazing, but the selection of local beers and the well-volumed music made for a great atmosphere. We ended up here for breakfast once as well, and I'd say the same thing. We had the SPAM which was pretty good and the stuffed french toast which was great. Good place, good people, decent food for a reasonable price.

Anthony A.

A group of us decided to visit LuLu's for dinner based on its high rating on Yelp. We entered the restaurant and waited to be seated and we were ignored and passed on by SEVEN employees/waiters. The restaurant was fairly empty so I know they were not busy. We tried to get the attention of the passing waiters, but they replied, "Uhh hang on." After waiting TEN minutes we left. We decided if the waiters pay no attention to detail, such as 8 waiting customers, its just not worth trying their food. I also overheard several customers walking away from LuLu's saying, "That wasn't that great." There are tons of places to eat in Waikiki, I do not recommend this one.

Danielle B.

I am giving four stars for this place as a tourist attraction. If I wasn't on vacation, I would give three stars. We ate here twice while on vacation a few weeks back. Our first meal was great - or we were just starved from a five hour flight, a no coffee detox after a 3 week caffeine binge during the holidays, and a two hour time change. I had a Happy Hour-priced Mai Tai that was so good and strong I got buzzed within a third of its consumption (likely due to the aforementioned condition I was in, but that's still a good deal for a $5 drink) and the Mahi sandwich, which came with a flavored tarter sauce and decent fries. I kinda think the ube roll was a little kitschy (it doesn't really taste different, it's just purple), but since it's a local ingredient I won't judge. Our group shared a bomb calamari appetizer dish (not listed on their posted menu online) with plenty of spice, citrus, and texture. Our server was apologetic for taking a while to greet us but was very accommodating and thoughtful throughout the meal from there on. When we went back for drinks and small bites the next evening (okay, my family is not the most adventurous set of diners and in our defense, we had an early morning the next day and didn't want to go too far), we had wished he was our server again. Instead we had a pleasant female server who was friendly but a little off on timing (getting our drinks to us, check processing, etc.). Also, the drinks were extremely watered down, which pissed us all off since each of us had several drinks and felt like there was barely any alcohol in them, which was the exact opposite of the previous drink I had had here. Our food choices were served quickly though, and my crab po' boy was satisfying if not leaving me wanting a little more (there is no way this dish is meant to be shared). Inconsistency aside, the atmosphere almost made up for that, as the open mic night on the patio hosted some great performers from town, and I usually do not like live music. These various artists were truly talented and I am happy we got to experience an evening at Lulu's. Check it out if you're visiting, just ask for a double shot when you're drinking in the bar.

K G.

This place was good. Loved the food! Nothing bad about this place. Nice view too!

Elle T.

We were seated at the counter top facing the beach and palm trees. It looked like a postcard, except for the birds flying in randomly to join us for breakfast. But what can you expect from an open restaurant like that. I'm not complaining because it didn't bother me one bit and was refreshing to have a nice cool breeze as we ate. My friend and I ordered the loco moco and banana nut macadamia nut pancakes and then split it so we could have the best of both worlds. I love loco moco's, but their meat was a little overcooked and burnt on the outside, so one star was deducted :( But the banana nut macadamia nut pancakes were SO GOOD! I usually don't like nuts, but this combination is hard to refuse. I recommend to all to try it somewhere in hawaii! I would go back here definitely because its affordable and delicious! The service was great and the view was even better! It was refreshing and fun.

Tara S.

Ate breakfast here on our last day in Waikiki. It had to have been one of our most memorable meals (for good reasons!). My husband and I ordered the stuffed french toast and the greek omelet and traded our plates back and forth when we felt we needed something indulgent or something healthier. It all was absolutely delicious and I wish we had tried it earlier in our stay. The place looks like your typical tourist trap (like everything else in Waikiki), but it turned out to be a nice experience. Service was friendly and prompt, the place was clean, and we sat at the bar-height seats at the perimeter for a great view of the beach (and the crazies on the street below). Aside from the food, my favorite part was watching the crazy dog lady with her 6 (yes, SIX) lap dogs and a baby stroller hanging out in the grass below. She kept spraying them with a water bottle every time they barked at something, but with all that fur and the Waikiki heat I swear they were doing it just to cool down.

J J.

Good food, decent coffee, great view, same cost as most similar places. Starbucks downstairs.....which is a plus.

Andreas F.

We went twice to Lulu's and had great service and nice food. We would definitely recommend it. It's a nice location with a great view of the beach and the service is fast and quick. The pineapple juice tasted a little watery for the price, the entrance smelled like sour beer, but the rest was good.

Timothy W.

Great location in Waikiki near the Zoo, Aquarium, and just across the street from the beach. Sports bar and Island vibe give the atmosphere a "high five". Service is good, food is ok. The menu consist of Sports Bar foods, burgers and such. I have eaten there several times, I must like it that much, but I do have a couple of gripes; food requested without dairy products by a friend of mine who is severly lactose intollerant was served with dairy products, food was promptly corrected by managment. On several occassions the type of beer I ordered was a different kind of beer on arrival, I happen to love beer so I just drank it.

Tara C.

First meal right after getting here at about 9 PM local time (12 AM for me). I'm so happy to be here, I love Hawaii! My sister and I shared the calamari (it's called a funny name- Bo Diddly Squiddly?) and it was great. Light breading, sizzling hot, drizzled with spicy mayo and sitting in a bed of marinara sauce. Mango mojito was tasty but not much alcohol. Sweet and refreshing otherwise. Kinda pricey. Nice location, service was pretty slow but they were very nice and apologetic about it. May go back for Happy Hour next week!

Michael M.

Solid breakfast. The food wasn't greasy at all. Would come back for sure.

Michael M.

typical tourist spot. nice happy hour. friendly service, fun decor

Conrad C.

I'm doing this in 'real time'. I am actually about to leave the restaurant. And from what I have gathered, based on my experience is this; unless you are a Japanese or white tourist, you will get CRAPTASTIC service. First, we were seated and waited 10 minutes for someone to attend to us. After that, we ordered our food. I ordered spam with over easy eggs. And my friend got loco moco. Anyway, 25 minutes later, other people around us who came AFTER us, got their food and some were already starting to leave. Our food comes and my eggs were scrambled when I asked for it over easy. Plus my spam was warm and seemed like it wasn't cooked for a long time. My friend's food was ok. I asked for coffee and but never came. Well, we just paid and left. No tip of course.... We're about to go to Starbucks downstairs and head over to Zippys after we see Diamond Head.

Kody L.

TGI Friday's adapts to Waikiki Beach. Our first restaurant stop is a tourist stop full of surf decor. Pretty damn expensive, but I just got here and probably just need to adjust to Hawaii prices. This, however, wasn't worth it. Service was kind enough to advise us to order a side of rice because the Ahi Poke and hand rolled sushi weren't very large portions. He was totally right. You get a view of the beach from the bar table lining the perimeter of the outside. Other than that I'm hoping for some better food on this visit.

Braden K.

lulu's is definitely a great place.. in moderation. don't get me wrong, its a dope spot.. i just think that everyone i know hits it too often. often enough that everytime i roll through i have high expectations and something throws off the night. the food is great, the people are top notch, and the drink prices are right. prime location, right before the aquarium by kalakaua. at times it can get a bit tacky, but who doesn't hit lulu's?

Service was good, fast and courteous, however the food was disappointing I had the fajitas, bland more onions than meat not much flavor, the guacamole was just a cut up avocado, no flavor, my daughter had the quesadilla that wasn't to bad, she doesn't care for much spice on her food and this suited her fine, the prices are not great for the value, you can do worse in Waikiki, but you can do a lot better too, atmosphere was ok, live music was ok local kids all the songs sounded the same, just different words, oh well this is a food critique, not an entertainment one, just needs a tweak in the kitchen, and I may come back, but for now, stay away, aloha from Kauai

Been here several times over the years and it rarely disappoints. On this trip however, it was only marginal. We were there for dinner. Swordfish with sweet chili sauce was okay, but slightly overcooked. Our child's chicken fingers were very good. Pork quesadilla was good, but they didn't spread out the pork evenly through the tortilla. Service was good, but meal a little pricey at $54 before tip. have had so many great meals there in the past, they get a mulligan for this one. Excellent view when sitting at window bar.

Jennifer D.

Lulu's was very good. There was something on the menu for everyone, from small bites to steaks. The drinks were good, beers were varied, and although loud, it was a nice place to break away from all the chain restaurants and extremely touristy areas. If we get to Waikiki again, we will definitely have to go back!

Amanda S.

breakfast at 3 PM? Uhm YES PLEASE! Ive been here late at night as well but the drinks seem pretty watered down... boo! Pricey but fine for the location. Good views of the beach, go around 5:30 so you can get there before the dinner crowd and stay around till about 6:45 to see the amazing sunset.

Donna N.

I had to try the Loco Moco, where else can you find a dish like that? My eggs were ordered over-medium and came out sunny side up and I hate uncooked egg whites. Our server seemed very busy. Maybe he had more tables than he could handle. But great view and the LuLu's iced tea was fantastic.

Marcela S.

The breakfast is delish. I had the Loco Moco (to die for!) and the hubby had the Big kahuna omelett. We both couldn't stop savoring each bite. We went again the next day for dinner. We started with the appetizer pork egg rolls and those were yummy with the sauce having a hint of spice.Unfortunately our dinner wasn't as delicious. I had the Mac nut crusted Mahi Mahi & hubby had surf/turf. My Mahi was a bit bland & the steak/turf was so so. The shrimp/surf part of the meal were plump & tasty. Overall, I would go back mainly for breakfast, apps, drinks accompanied by the ambiance

Joey S.

Really really good burgers. They just hit the spot. The smoked bbq flavor was esquisite. They also serve it on extra large buns that accomodate the massive patty that is as big as my hand. The live music was amazing as well, some of those acts should have been on american idol. This place did lose about 1.7532 stars for serving me $6 beers without listing the prices on the menu though. I know I'm in tourist trap Waikiki but its just wrong to swindle me for $6 more after a $13 burger.

Ethan H.

Just dropped by for "happy hour" I ordered a $4 Mango daiquiri. Girlfriend ordered a bloody mary. Mine had no alcohol in it whatsoever. Ordered a shot of myers rum and was charged $8 more. Girlfriend's bloody mary was severely salty, as if the mix was not diluted. Undrinkable. Bar tender gave her more tomato juice on request. No discounted bar food at happy hour.

Mayumi L.

The food's delish (tho some dishes are better than others), the view's spectacular, and the staff are charming. Relaxing vibe, love the live music in the evenings, drinks are mixed and served well. Good sports selection on-screen (though it's too bad they don't prioritize soccer and rugby as much as the more-mainstream sports). All in all, a great place to go after a few hours at Queen's or Kaimanas as it's completely casual without losing its charm. Appropriate for all ages and ethnicities, locals and tourists alike. Just be sure to watch your cholesterol levels! :-P

If you just come to Lulu's during the day for food, you'd never realize how the place transforms into a hotspot at night (and vice-versa). We came for both lunch and for drinks at night, so I'm going to review from both viewpoints. Restaurant: Came here for lunch on a Saturday. This place has a great vibe, relaxed and casual. It's kind of like an independent Hawaiian version of TGIFridays. Instead of American staples, it has Hawaiian, and its got Hawaiian posters and memorabilia around, as well as from various sports teams. It's open-air, giving it a beachy vibe. We ordered the nacho plate as a starter to share, as we'd seen it on another table. Delicious, like all nachos should be, with a very spicy kick! For my meal, I had the loco moco, which was excellent. It was my first time having it, and it was fantastic. Nightspot: At night, Lulu's is transformed into a clubby bar. We showed up around midnight on a Monday, and the place was packed with college-aged students. Everyone seemed to know each other, people were chatting to the other groups around them, and guys and girls were eyeing each other. To any coed on vacation in Hawaii, I would recommend this as a top spot to meet other singles and hookup. Plenty of people were really tipsy, and it was clear that a lot of people would be going home together. The music was fantastic--it was a great mix of electronica and party tunes (not much top 40 or rap, thank goodness). You can hear the music and the people from the beach across the street or the street below, where a lot of people were hanging out. If you're a college student on a spring break type vacation, you'll definitely want to go here. The crowd was a lot younger than we saw at other places, the space provided ample opportunities for chatting (which clubs often don't) while playing music at the same time, and the place had a fun vibe. We had read reviews and stopped into a number of different places in Waikiki, and this was definitely the best place we came across.

Ann M.

I come to this restaurant everytime I visit Oahu. The view of Waikiki beach is so beautiful if you are lucky enough to get a seat facing out to the ocean. The drinks are strong at a good price. I had one mai tai and was tipsy halfway through it. I do not like to eat chicken but I will at Lulu's. Their death valley chicken wings are fantastic. Also ordered the Bo Diddly Squiggly which was Calamari rings served with marinara sauce, layered with parmesan cheese and drizzled with a chipotle aioli. Sounded interesting so we ordered it and it was fantastic! I have never had that combination on calamari before. It was fried to perfection and not dripping with grease. The alaskan crab and artichoke dip was wonderful. Chips are light and the dip is so flavorful. Another memorable dish that I always order is the Ahi Poke. The sauce is just right.

Peggy C.

I came here because of Yelp. I didn't get as much banana or macadamia nut in (or on top of) the pancakes as I would have liked for $10 (or $15, I forget), but the portions were huge. Four ridiculously thick and fluffy pancakes. I could barely finish my third one. My boyfriend had the crab cake loco moco, which he thought was too heavy, but I rather liked the short-grain, perfectly cooked white rice with brown gravy. (Can you tell I'm East Asian? lol)

Mia L.

This place was pretty legit. I enjoyed the night time entertainment provided by some hawaiian girl singing and her talented guitarist. The ambience reminded me of Hooters since all the furniture seemed to be made of glazed wood. There's a sports bar on one side. The location was excellent. It was right by our hotel, Ocean Resort. I think Aston Waikiki is close to this place too. You have great open views of the ocean and beach right in front of you if you sit alongside one of the wall. Against one of the other walls will give you a view of a street that's right by the zoo. The service was ehhhh. It took a while for our food to come out and our drinks weren't refilled. It was a busy night, but still. Other than that, everything else helped give us that Hawaiian vacation feel! :)

Erin M.

Lulu's is an open-air, 2nd floor bar overlooking Waikiki Beach. We came here to catch the Laker game, and ended up returning several times during our stay. It's mostly tourists during the day and locals at night. The food blew, so stick with drinks only. My chicken sandwich was totally average and my cousin's philly cheesesteak was utterly disgusting. They didn't even melt the cheese!

Sean B.

Nice mellow hangout place. Great view of the beach and of Waikiki. Food is decent, not a homerun. Drinks are the same. Prices okay. But it's just too great a view to give less than four stars!

Britt N.

Dear Lulu's, Ah, you are a strange bedfellow. Nice view, great employees and food my cat would not like...and she eats mice. Since I live a few doors down, your view does not draw or awe me. Employees again, could not be cooler, although I did see one on the phone looking for another job with their resume out once, I kid you not....hum. Lulu's your food is god awful. Why is everything packaged and not cooked fresh? Are you even trying? I had a quesadilla and it was actually better that I thought I would get there which is good although I am not sure the chicken was cut by your "chefs" since they were in somewhat unnatural cubes. Your Eggs Benedict was a crying sensation. I know it is not easy to get right but yoke cooked through and 2 drops of hollandaise sauce, come on, are you even trying at this point. My 3rd and final dish. The chicken wings. I am not quite sure what was in the sauce, it was like something went bad. But I gave it a stand up chance and very unfortunately still tasted it days later. So to you Lulu's I say goodbye, like so many, you look good but just don't deliver.

Alex A.

My wife and I ate here on a Saturday night. We were seated quickly, and the place had a good atmosphere. I had a burger, which was good and reasonably priced (13$). My wife had a mahi dish, which was rubbery, not well seasoned, and had a lot of dark meat which had not been trimmed away. We saw some appetizers and entrees that looked good. If you stick to bar and grill food, you probably won't be disappointed.

christine l.

When we walked in I thought I was a little loud but it worked out great. What started as a "where should we eat tonight" nights, in so glad we read the restaurant reviews in the travel book we had. This spot is ideal - right across from the beach, live music, bunch of beers on tap, decent food, upbeat....it was great. Definitely would recommend for overall experience.

Ed K.

lulus.. accross from the zoo. upstairs of ABC/Starbucks. lots of excitement. lots of cheering going on. headquarters of everything good about mainland so i try avoid like kapu or jenga even. we have a lot in common and they have great taste n crack me up all the time. we like poke, nachos, burgers, omelettes, liquor, waikiki shell, sports, bicycles, half-marathons, nikki minaj etc. the list goes on and on. my buddies work there so i get the sense that they are ok with us being around sometimes. food is ono diner food, service is on-it like a feast at camp mokulea before you go engage in some kind of rigorous activity. something like that. good location, accessible to kaimana, kuhio or kapahulu w/ open air environment and nice ocean front view. lulus is one of the few constantly happening night time lively restaurants. put it on YOUR list. or say ur at walls playing volleyball and need to go sheshe or doodoo, haven't been turned away thus far! =)

Dave A.

What can I say, it's a passable tourist joint built to pull in the throngs that walk Kalakaua Ave. So why should you stop here? It's convenient, it's open late, the food is OK (we had burgers and fries), and it has a great open air bar and seating on the second floor that overlooks Waikiki beach. Ideally you're in walking distance (wouldn't say to go out of your way to make it here), looking for a relaxed place to grab a drink and basic american food and continue your decompression. On a side note, it has an open mic night, and if you play your cards right you'll run into some of the locals that were your tour guides, captains, servers, etc, earlier in the day as they knock off work, AND, just maybe if the stars align they'll remember and like you and pull you into their group and in an instant you'll have 20 of the most cordial and welcoming new friends you've ever had and make an unforgettable memory of a great last night on the islands. But no guarantees.

William M.

Eh...Your typical Waikiki hangout. Nothing really sets this place apart from the other restaurants on the strip. The view is good so long as you can get a seat by the perimeter of the restaurant. Would I eat here again, maybe not. But everyone should try at least once.

Laura F.

Very good view for sunset! The happy hour has okay deals on drinks, but it's too bad they don't have any happy hour specials on food. The nachos are very tasty. You will be stuffed. Very relaxed atmosphere with many TVs on to watch sporting games, but also has no windows so you can kind of feel that you are eating outdoors too.

Laci M.

Food was awesome! Prices were fair. Service was great. They sat us with an amazing view facing the beach. Fun relaxed darker atmosphere. The "secret punch" was a little funky but the amazing Crab Cakes made up for it.

Michelle M.

50% off everything including liquor industry night MONDAY's. OMG i f-ing love it. not the most delicious food but great place to go when looking for cheap eats and even cheaper drinks if you have a yellow card. garlic crusted ahi was actually pretty decent, service was pretty standard for casual waikiki. i was pleasantly surprised. and yes, i'll be back on monday :)

Mike K.

When traveling, I hate eating in chain restaurants, tourist traps (attractions) and other similar places. I saw LuLu's on the corner near the end of Waikiki beach and thought it looked like a decent place, but figured that it wasn't really my style...too touristy. Well, some friends said that they made reservations at another restaurant and when I reviewed it, I said no way...lets try LuLu's. The food was great, the atmosphere was fun and happy. Servers were attentive. We had the Maryland Mahi. Two small mahi filets sandwiching a crab cake finished with a lemon caper sauce. It was melt in your mouth good! Comes with choice of rice pilaf, mashed potatoes or white rice. Of course it also came with some veggies and broccoli too. They were nice as they kicked us out because they were closing down for the staff Christmas party (they told us ahead of time) but one server said, "hey, come back later, they wont mind then, have some drinks with us!" Now, it helps when you are with two really hot chicks, because I dont think he was talking to the two guys in the group. Overall, good time and good food. Reasonable prices, comfortable, and fun. If I ever get back to Waikiki, I will return. Aloha!

Love S.

Show them your Hawaii drivers license and receive 25% off anytime. If you work in the industry, go on mondays and show them your liquor card. 50% off everything. 3 stars for the food but I gave them 4 stars for the added discounts in high priced waikiki.

Mike P.

Good late happy hour menu. Great service ( as good as it gets on Island time LOL ). Great location. You have to stop by and have a drink or meal. Definitely recommend if your in waikiki

Malika L.

Food was good considering it was bar food, only thing is I ordered a Bearded Lady Burger..I had to eat it w/ a fork and knife because the bottom bun was so soggy. So 3 stars it is!

John K.

2.5 Stars. I would say that they have a very decent selection of appetizers and they do serve MARYLAND CRAB stuffed in Mahi. I'm not sure how fresh it is since it has to fly 5000 miles, but props to the Chesapeake. The RIB-EYE that I ordered was THIN (I think Waikiki is known for scamming people into ordering the steak that's about half the size of a normal steak) and it tasted like they purchased the meat from Safeway. Totally not worth it. They do have a ton of big screen TVs. Saw the Texas/Ohio State Fiesta Bowl here, but don't expect a very sports-oriented crowd. I mean people are on vacation, they air the games at 3PM (Live), and I don't think the Japanese follow football too closely.

Bayarea K.

Great view. So-so food. Good portions.

Alma R.

I highly recommend their Kalua Pork nachos!!! SOOO GOOD! The drinks are alright, nothing to be a big fan of. There' s a nice view of the beach if you're seated near the awning. And they used to have club nights for the 18 and up, which housed some really great music!

Lauren Y.

Can not say enough good things about Lulu's. The view of the beach from the sports bar is amazing. The food is good and the happy hour deals are great! The strawberry daiquiris are awesome.

Mary M.

Everytime I come to Hawaii I make sure I eat here... Lava flows are delish.. and the calamari is mouth watering! I also recommed their garlic fries and volcano hot wings!

Kate R.

I went to Lulu's for breakfast and had their crabcake benedict. It was really spicy - I wish I had been warned about that or seen something on the menu pointing towards that. I also thought it was pretty overpriced. But, my coffee was great, and I loved the fruit with coconut on top. Yum!

Howard L.

Damn good, best loco moco I've ever had. $12 for my girlfriend and I to share and we're both full, can't beat it. Then again I barely ever eat breakfast anyway. Server gave me an english muffin instead of the wheat that I asked for but im glad because it was great. After 8 days on the island and trying as much loco moco as i could, i have concluded that if i want loco moco, im going to lulu's. english muffin, over easy, and rice.

Jen C.

I went there on a Monday night. It was packed. Noticed that they have special nights on Mondays, 50% off the drinks if you are in their industry in Waikiki. They have tables so it's fine if you only want to hang out. It was just around the block from my hotel so it's convenient. Stayed there till 2:30am and it was still crowded. Not bad!

Dave D.

Great service. I loved the Poke with avocado

Ken G.

I've actually been here a few times and have always had a decent time. I've never had the food, but the bar is huge and they have pretty much anything you'd want. I was a bit disappointed with the cocktails since they didn't have much alcohol in them. The service was great and instead of windows they have open spaces so you constantly get that nice beach breeze coming through the place. It's a very relaxed and cool spot to spend a lazy afternoon. I don't recall it being a great place to watch a sunset, but you can view the changing colors when the sun does set, which is pretty cool.

James E.

The food was excellent and the service good. The coffee was odd though so bring your own!

Winnie W.

The view was beautiful and the staff was friendly. Ordered the fruit bowl which was delicious but the smell of the place was unbearable. Smelled like urine.

Courtney D.

We stumbled on this spot for breakfast the first day of our trip to Waikiki, and liked it so much that we ended up back there for three more meals. The view of the beach is just awesome, the food is tasty and reasonably priced and the service was good. We had the pancakes (the banana macadamia and strawberry were both delicious), the Longboard Benedict, omelette and the French toast. All very good, but our absolute favorite was the half papaya and lime. So fresh and sweet! Coffee's pretty good too. For lunch, try the BLT with avocado or the My Island Maui chicken sandwich. Make sure to ask for the garlic fries! Another diner at our table ordered the Ahi Poke, which was also very good -- and I'm not a raw fish fan! Overall a great find and a departure from the touristy chain spots you'll see on most of Waikiki.

Lanny H.

Came here for dinner, decent food. Wide selection. Fun casual atmosphere. Live music.

Garrett R.

Great bar food. Kind of loud, but its industry night so we get 50% off. (It's good to be a cook.) Best poke I've had so far. Open air, good view. Service is slow but very friendly.

j m.

We came early in the morning before the place got jammed pack. It had a great view and a kid friendly menu. The service was great and I highly recommend the hash browns with potatoes. My daugher and my niece loved their waffle. Service was great in that, they continued to refill my coffee. It was a great place to start our day!!

Jake S.

Lulu's Waikiki is just like the Lulu's Kihei and Lahaina on Maui, great service and wonderful bar tenders that really Welcome you with open arms. The food here I think is better then the ones on Maui. You get your money's worth here.

Carl P.

Our credit card was ripped off within the hour of a visit to LuLu's. Nice staff, not.

Nestor G.

First restaurant on Waikiki with an old friend. I ordered the pasta primavera, vegetable style, and we got spinach artichoke dip with chips and bread. The appetizer was good, but the pasta primavera was even better. It came out hot and ready to be eaten. A simple dish with an excellent sauce. Nothing screwed up and a delicious meal to fill my tummy. The atmosphere is filled with loud drunks sometimes, but the view at day time must be excellent. We ate at night. Service was good, no complaint. Overall: Great food, Great service, Good price

Fiona L.

Upon arriving to Honolulu, this was a great first stop. View was perfect and there was enough shade and slight air conditioning to make you feel at comfort. My boyfriend and I shared a loco moco and it definitely helped set the tone for us. Portion was at a good size. The best part was the sauce though. It's definitely better than back at home that's for sure. My first drink was a pina colada. It was refreshing, but lacked the alcohol and fresh pineapple taste that I was looking for. Food is above average with drinks so so. I see that Happy Hour gets cracking and drinks get cheap. Plus live music, too. Not sure if we were lucky, but our server was super nice and chill. Around the area, sure, you can go closer to the beach and grab the same food. It'll probably be packed though, and prices slightly higher. Why not come here and chill and avoid the madness for a bit?

Cecilè C.

What can I say about Lulu's.... Great service, no waiting, stiff drinks, great prices and YUMMY food. Great selections on the menus... Lulu's has great energy, wonderful views of the beach and an awesome happy hour. Must visit Lulu's when in Waikiki...

Sarah J.

I ordered the Dawn Patrol for breakfast with the rice as a side. This was honestly the best breakfast I have ever had. Really. The best. I got some gravy for the rice and it was amazing. I see myself going daily for this meal. Wow!!! It's football Sunday so we had to wait a bit to even share a table. No worries! We like making new friends. Service was fast and friendly. My one small complaint is that I was only about half done eating before we got pressure to vacate our table. I was rushed to finish my best breakfast ever. A little sad :-( I thought it weird because other tables were there for hours simply drinking beer. They weren't asked to vacate.

Jessica P.

LuLu's is located on the 2nd floor (above Starbucks) and is across the street from Waikiki Beach. We decided to meet up with friends here for dinner at 5:30pm, a party of six. They don't take reservations Sat-Mon, but we were told there shouldn't be a wait if we arrived between 5-6pm on a Monday. They were right. A nice long table was available at sunset. The slight problem was that the sun was in our guests eyes for a good 30 mins. In addition, it made for a very warm night. No breeze. I didn't feel A/C or see any fans running. So dress appropriately and bring a hand fan. We relied on Yelp for food suggestions. So, Coconut Shrimp and Loco Moco plates were ordered. I also had the Chicken Quesadilla. The shrimp came out a little on the burnt side. Not as succulent as I had envisioned. The red colored tortillas were used for the quesadillas. That plate was just okay. Nothing to brag about. The kids loved the Loco Moco plates. There's entertainment beginning at 6pm daily. The only problem with that was it was kinda too loud to have a regular conversation. I left with plugged ears and my throat felt like I had strained it the entire time. So, I wouldn't recommend this place if you're trying to catch up with someone you haven't seen for years. The live music was okay, just loud. As for parking, the easiest lot to get into was at the Honolulu Zoo. You have to pay in advance and decided to go with 3-4hrs for $4. Place the ticket in your dash. As for the view, it's a partial ocean view only because the palm trees on both sides of the street block it.

Raquel B.

Even though we have been here at night, this was the first time coming during the day. It was very hot and we were skeptical to sit since it is all but fans and open space. Surprisingly it was nice and breezy! The food was amazing. We sat overlooking beautiful Waikiki Beach. My boyfriend and I both ordered fish sandwiches with fries and it was so delicious, along with the drinks as well. Their lava flow was so refreshing and yummy, I definitely recommend getting it. Our daughter loved the chicken strips, it had this crunchy coating with great flavor. Our server was very attentive and we were given water right away. Great view and great food? This is definitely a go to place when you are walking around Waikiki or even when you are spending your day at the beach. P.S- They even have a spot to put your surf board!

Kari O.

We didn't eat here. We only came to drink. Monday night and i guess it was industry night so there were a lot of locals. My only complaint is the $10 cover charge. It wasn't like a club or anything. More like a bar turned into a crowded dance floor where nobody was dancing. Pros : -CHEAP drinks! -awesome bartenders and staff -good crowd Cons : -horrible bathrooms (broken all night) -no seats -cover charge Not a bad spot to come hang and have a few drinks with friends.

Kimo K.

Good enough food good atmosphere with live music until nine and disco music after 10 o'clock. Basically burgers fried calamari beer opener which is nice they paid a lot of attention to things like fans and lamps. Staff is really cute and good. The problem I really have at this place are the toilets. The restaurant is only as clean as it's toilets.

Nicholas C.

I loved coming here for breakfast. Due to the jetlag, I was to get there early and eat with the view of the beach. I have tried the eggs benedict and recommend asking to substitute the meat for the Kalua pork. This was an amazing decision. I have also tried the French Toast. This was incredibly rich but delicious. I didn't come here for lunch/dinner but it is a great breakfast place before hitting beach or going on a hike to diamond head.

Kaori I.

I had breakfast with my girl friend there this morning. I love the view from the counter. The service is always good but the food is just ok for me to be honest. I've been there for breakfast, lunch and dinner and I like breakfast and early dinner during sunset the best there. They change menu for lunch at 11am but I wish they can serve breakfast a bit longer. One time I went there for breakfast but couldn't make it by 11 and had to pick something from lunch menu which was mostly sandwich and burgers. Night time could be really loud with some live music and lots of people so if you hope to really talk it won't be an ideal place for you but otherwise you would enjoy the great music and lively atmosphere there! This 4 star is for the awesome ocean view and the extraordinary generosity of Monday Industry Day. Thank you Lulu's!!! I

Aaron Koichi C.

1st time visiting this restaurant. It was noisy, sandy because it is across the street from the beach, busy, and unfriendly. We went to listen to a local group sing and was disappointed to see half of the group there. The wait was 20 minutes, and when asking the hostess some questions about the menu and the music; she failed by saying "I don't really know, I've only been employed here for 3 weeks........ We left. We may need to try this place again, give it another chance.

Elso R.

So I showed up around 10:12 am and It was full. So when I asked how long was the wait time. I was told it was 15-20 mins for a table of 2. I didn't think it was so bad the football game was almost over so I went downstairs to wait. I wanted to eat their breakfast but sadly I wasn't able to try it. At 11 I went back up stairs to return the beeper and they were wondering how I had it. They were surprised when I told them they gave it to me and wanted to sit us down right there and then. I asked if they would still serve breakfast and they said no. So I said no. It was very disappointing!!!!

I usually try to stay away from Waikiki tourist spots because they are overly priced for us locals but then we were here for a gathering for someone who was leaving so there's not much of a choice. It's located right above the ABC store and Starbucks on the corner of Waikiki on Kalakaua ave. We parked at the zoo for a $1 an hour. We arrived there around 430 pm and had already reserved in advance for a party of 10. Although not everyone was there on time we still were able to seat the 4 of us while we waited for everyone to come in one by one until we filled the table seats. At least they were accommodating for when we needed extra seats. At that time it wasn't so busy and we still had an hour to spare off of the lunch menu which is a bit cheaper than the dinner menu that starts at 5 pm. Expect higher prices for bar food here than any other outside place considering this is Waikiki and a tourist spot. The view from the dining area what makes the experience more enjoyable and relaxing as you can see the panoramic view of Waikiki Beach and the beautiful palm tress swaying. It gives a Hawaiian Tropical feel while you're there. The ambiance speaks for it self as it has puffer fish lamp decors and surfboard ceiling fans, all little decors that makes it an island style atmosphere. I love open dining room areas as it's been so hot out lately, a nice breeze is better than being cooped up in a humid spot. We ordered off of the lunch menu first and started off with some Spinach & Artichoke Dip for $12 that had fresh spinach and artichoke that is mixed in with feta, parmesan and cream cheeses. Haven't tried artichoke dips with cheese before but it was pretty tasty. It came with some old fashion tortilla chips and garlic bread. Always a good appetizer to go to while you plan to spend a longer time at a bar. We also got some classic quesadillas for $11 that is mixed with cheddar and monterey jack cheeses melted in a large tomato tortilla. I haven't tried it but my friends said it was really delicious. I was just snacking on some regular fries while we were waiting for everyone else. They offer regular, garlic and cajun fries. Not too sure how much a side fries was since it wasn't stated on the menu. We had ordered LuLu's Surf & Turf for $24 that was described as a Flame-broiled 10oz New York Strip steak served with tiger prawn shrimp and mashed potatoes. The steak was a bit bland so A1 steak sauce was definitely needed to enhance the flavorless steak. The shrimp and mash potatoes was pretty good though. But in my opinion the quality wasn't worth $24. Service was good in the beginning but as the night busier food took longer to come, like even for a salad too over 30 min. At least my water was being filled up consistently. It gets pretty busy at night as you see people waiting out side for a table. Overall, it was an okay experience. If I was a tourist, this would probably be a stop I'd come to for the views and live entertainment. I hear its happening here on Monday nights.

Frank C.

Lulus is one of my favorite hangouts in Waikiki. It is far from the average tourist trap. It's the real deal. Bartenders here (Julie, Sarah, Cole, Tracy, Allison) are top-notch, hard-working, and take great care of their clients, especially their regulars. The space is terrific with a huge open-air seating area that overlooks the Ocean. They have great live music every night, especially Wednesday nights! And the food is better than many similar places in Waikiki. I especially like the Leahy salad (ahi) and quesadillas and Magnum PI burger. There's always some surfing on TV so it's a great place to hang out. Bottom line, great food and great service. A rare treat in Waikiki!

Lulu's is a great budget friendly breakfast option for families. Located on the corner of Kalakaua and Kapahulu, it is across from Waikiki Beach. You can stop here for a quick breakfast and then head out to beach. Lulu's has a terrific retro-surf open air dining room that's complete with a tiki to greet you at the stairs leading to the restaurant. Our family of four stopped in the morning of Good Friday and snagged the last table. We decided to share two omelettes and a stack of pancakes. Our server was so thoughtful, he split our orders so each of us had half an omelette and a side of corned beef hash instead of having us fuss over the food and divvy up the food ourselves. As the designated food divvy-upper, I was very appreciative of his initiative. The omelettes were very tasty and the corned beef hash was excellent. The pancakes were good, but as soon as we laid eyes on an order of the stuffed french toast, we developed a case of buyer's remorse. This was a great and affordable dining option for our family. We were in and out of there quickly so we could enjoy the rest of our morning at the beach. Don't forget to stop by the tiki for a photo opp!

Highly recommend here for dinner. The food is really good..best nachos I've had in my entire life. You ain't going to find nachos like this anywhere. The virgin lava flows are sooooo ono. The staff is great too,..excellent customer service. The Keiki cheeseburger is one too. My daughter loved it. The Paradise cheeseburger with garlic fries is also the best I have ever tasted. Can't wait to try this place for breakfast...stuffed French toast..o..m...g...can't wait.

Great place to watch NFL games with several TVs. 3 stars because the service is awful.

Jeff K.

2nd time here. Our server was great and the food was good but nothing special. Reasonably priced.

Julie O.

The breakfast options are okay. They are known for their stuffed french toast and eggs Benedict. Both options are good. Although they do need to improve on service. They make you wait over 45 minutes and it's probably due to poor management. They have open tables and still people are waiting. Then it takes another 45 minutes to get your food. Overall it's just not worth the wait.I think their are better options in Waikiki with better service.

This is a where you go for a mix of great scenery, sports, music, dancing, drinking and eating and hanging out with (making) friends. The staff is very friendly and full of aloha. It gets busy during dinner and breakfast so be patient and you will have a great time. They also have local beers on tap like "stewbum & stonewall " and other craft beers too.

Breakfast: -The Kalua pork omelet is SOOOOOO amazing. Much better than their benedicts which are really good. -The banana waffle is amazing but make sure you get the banana sauce on the sides because your waffle will be drenched. The banana sauce is like a buttery caramel banana fosters which adds so much to their already great waffle. Happy Hour: The drink specials are great here! They just end WAY too early (5 pm) and they need to add a good happy hour! Lunch/ dinner: Their burgers are amazing. Much better than their kalua pork sandwich

In the middle of tourist central in Waikiki. This is a decent place for breakfast or brunch. I've never been here for lunch or dinner so I'm just reviewing my brunch experiences. Location: Diamond Head end of Waikiki, directly across from the Zoo. Entrance is on Kapahulu up a flight of stairs. Stairs are right next to Tucker and Bevy. Accessible access is an elevator from Hotel lobby to the right of the stairs and T&B. So the actual restaurant is one flight up over looking the beach and the Zoo. Venue: Open air bar, restaurant with lots of TV's for sports and an area for a band when they have live music. Over looking Waikiki beach. Always fairly tame at breakfast/brunch times. Other reviews report a loud and rowdy vibe in the evening. I've never seen this in the AM. This is not a classy tourist hotel. It is a busy tourist cafe and bar. If it seems too "touristy" for you it probably is. There are lots of other options in the area. Brunch: Separate breakfast menu with omelets, loco moco, eggs benedict, pan cakes, waffles and similar items. Someone in our group had a Bloody Mary and it turned out to be a very fancy drink. One time we had a fairly large group. They accommodated us without blinking. For breakfast/brunch this place is far superior to the nearby "Eggs and things Eggspress". Skip that place and try LuLu's. Food: My friends report the Loco Moco, eggs benedict and omelets are pretty good. Each time that I went i got the meatless/eggless Tofu Benedict. This gets a few points for being a good light meatless option. The tofu part is a bit bland. This was fixed with some ketchup and hot sauce. I also had a half of a papaya. An excellent addition to my meal. Service: We had good helpful servers who provided friendly efficient service. Vegetarian: So at least there are a few options and the tofu benedict. I'll give them credit for that. Parking: Park at the Zoo and pay at the machines. Even the Waikiki Shell or Kapiolani Park metered parking is not that far away.

First place we ate at after arriving in Hawaii. The Chicken Wings are to die for! The Nachos were delicious. The service was good but it took a while to get the food. We were disappointed when we went back for more wings the morning before we left. They only serve them for lunch;(

Starr B.

The food was good and the drinks were good and view was great. But I'm pretty sure our server was extremely high. It took forever to get our drinks. The second round being beer. So we only had 2 rounds, wasn't worth the wait. Our food took forever (fish tacos and nachos) but it was pretty busy. 4 stars for the food drinks and view 2 stars for the service.

On the one hand, Lulu's is famous and their breakfast is good. So that's one thing to be excited about. On the other? It's crowded and crowds lead to slow service and confusion. After waiting forever for food I waited even longer for my bill. When it finally came I paid and left in a hurry. It wasn't for hours that I realized that they gave me the bill of a man and his credit card too! This turned out to be a huge pain and now I'm waiting on a new card in the mail thanks to the mix up. Had the service not been so slow I'd have not needed to race out of there and would have hopefully noticed that I was given the wrong card. I imagine the other customer is frustrated too. Nothing's worse than being on vacation and having to report that your card is missing. Next time I'm in town I'll consider eating elsewhere.

As a frequent visitor of Hawai'i, it's not unknown that often Waikiki restaurants are all about the "vibe" and the food quality is not fabulous as they are generally catered to big families just out to have a quick, large meal. However, Lulu's is probably the worst restaurant I have ever visited in the busy hub that is Waikiki. ATMOSPHERE: Whilst the décor within Lulu's is cute (but fairly standard), the live music was so loud it made it impossible to talk to each other; which wasn't aided by the loud drunk family next to us. Said family not only kept getting up to go to the bathroom but proceeded to get up and dance, knocking chairs and such over. FOOD: The worst part! The prices completely shocking for what you get, it's almost criminal. The fish was most definitely frozen and was even slightly COLD in the middle. My salad was literally a bed of limp spinach, some unripe tomatoes, cheese and dressing. No thought whatsoever. Despite asking for medium well, my brothers steak was red, runny and chewy. Even the Nachos were disappointing...How do you get Nachos wrong?! SERVICE: Terrible. A family of 5, with three athletes squished around one table? I don't think so. I advise you just don't even bother. If I had 50 dollars to eat here, or at McDonalds 12 times, I'd pick Mcdonald's, everytime.

Licie Y.

Good location and good drinks! The food is average. Great place to look over the beach and watch sports.

Elspeth L.

FOR YOUR SAKE (and your wallets) DO NOT EAT HERE! ATMOSPHERE: Super touristy! Loud obnoxious customers drown out the incredibly loud live "music." We couldn't have any sort of conversation! It's an open planned restaurant and they didn't have any blinds or shades so half the patrons had to wear sunglasses or suffer from the incredibly intense sun! FOOD: Was so not worth the price! The prices appeal to rich tourists and are absolutley extortionate and do not reflect the cooking in any way, shape or form! The Mahi Mahi we ordered was obviously frozen, even after it was advertised as being "fresh." The Ahi Salad and Caesar Salad was absolutely drenched in dressing and literally looked like it had been bought from a store. The garlic bread was rock hard and tasted like dirt! The nachos were okay but seriously any competent human can make decent nachos. The steak was tough and chewy and not cooked, despite being asked for it to be cooked medium well! all of our food took well over 40 minutes to come out and was COLD! It had obviously been sitting on the counter for a very very long time! SERVICE: Very average, not helpful at all, they squashed us (a family of 5 adults) on to a small table for 2 people! They were super slow and very pushy when they were trying to get around our table! Please don't eat here! There are much better places to eat around Waikiki and I hope with the help of yelp you find some!

KC C.

Went here for brunch on Labor Day weekend. They were busy and I didn't get my order for over 25-30 min. Service could be improved but the food was great! I ordered a Black and Blue Benedict; blackened ahi Benedict... Pretty tasty, it's a little pricey side $16 but I think it was worth it :)

Vicki s.

Lulu's is fantastic! We had breakfast here looking out over the beautiful Ocean! The food was fantastic, the service was great and the view was Spectacular. My only regret was not going back for dinner another night. It was very convenient as well, great location.

Debra G.

Visited Lulu's on three separate occasions during my first visit to Honolulu. To be honest, it is one of the closest full-service bar/restaurants closest to me and when you're in the heat wave we've been having the last two weeks, walking a 3-4 miles inland to grab something authentic or to frequent Dukes or something chain--Lulu's becomes the best option. First Visit I ordered: "Pre-Surf Breakfast" $9 - Two "any-style" eggs with steamed white rice, potatoes or corned beef hash and toast. Potatoes tasted as though the spud hadn't been completely washed off before they were cooked. No grit of sand to the bite but it had a dirt-like flavor added to the potatoes. The eggs tasted a but microwaved, but I was too hungry to think about it and the wheat toast came with butter on the side and as we all know the toast is the first to go cold which means it's unlikely they be warm enough to spread butter on once you receive them. (Common sense I guess). (The tap water was fine) Second visit i ordered a Cobb Salad to go. No complaints other then the fact that it comes with romaine lettuce. (Spinach & Greens suits this type of salad best) The lemon Balsamic dressing is unique and did the trick but again, with romaine it tastes a little to acidic for my liking...I also tried their basic balsamic vinaigrette on the side...JUST A NOTE its literally balsamic and nothing more...a little too tart if you asked me. Third visit I tried the "Deuce's Wild" $12 Two "any-style" eggs, two pancakes, two strips of bacon and your choice of steamed white rice, potatoes or corned beef hash. Same as above for the Pre Breakfast except the eggs tasted like home cooked eggs this go around and instead of the dirt taste, 60% of the potatoes weren't cooked to completion (Hard in the middle) stabbing on potato one by one to make sure before biting into them didn't always workout so well as I ended up eating raw potatoes (too nice to complain I guess thats my fault) the blueberry pancakes that i got with it were PERFECT! Overall i guess it just depends on who the chef is and if him/her and their staff does a thorough job preparing theirs food and executing a solid dish. Staff is very lazy and 60% of the time, you're sitting around waiting for something. If you're in a rush, best to go someone inland and less populated. Although all three times i went it wasn't packed they were still slow.

Amanda K.

Really liked this place even tho it's pricey. The kalua pork nachos were amazing and piled high with lots of delicious toppings including generous meat. My friends enjoyed their kalua pork sandwich and chicken quesadilla. It's a good location too if you're ever on the beach or at kapiolani park. The only negatives were very slow service and they need more fans blowing so it's not so hot!

Jonathan B.

Stopped here on a Yelp suggestion and loved it. By Waikiki standards we thought the breakfast was reasonably priced for what we received. The Big Kahana omelet was very good and my wife really liked the Eggs Benedict. We'll return for another meal... Maybe dinner this time. Good ambience for a beachside joint overlooking the water. Only downside I found was the lighting was lacking and made some of the menu tough to read. If that's the worst, they're doing OK in my book.

Cecilia P.

Stopped by for breakfast early so there was no long wait and it was delicious. . Staff very courteous and great view of the beach.. plus they have really good happy hour specials that make me want to come back later

Holly M.

One of my top three bars in Waikiki. First of all, the setting is gorgeous. It's an open air bar on the second floor with panoramic views of Waikiki beach, and great bar style seating facing out towards the ocean, as well as larger tables on the inside. There's surfing on TV all day long, as well as a classic Hawaiian beach vibe to the decor. I've eaten here quite a few times on my couple of vacations, and every time was great. The breakfast is especially amazing - get a half order of the stuffed french toast for $7. It's SO good and a half order is more than enough. My boyfriend also loves their omelettes. The kalua pork burger at lunch is delicious for around $11, as is their brilliantly large Magnum P.I. burger at dinner ($13). The cobb salad is great, as is the surf and turf. Yup, we tried a lot of their food. Everything is great value. Drinks are average price for Waikiki, with good happy hour deals from 3-5pm every day. I also loved the live music every day. I hope this place is around forever!

Angela L.

I really wanted to like this place. The food was pretty good. I had the French Toast and my parents shared an omelette. My French Toast were 6 cute small triangles served with butter and syrup. The omelette portion was small, but the potatoes were really good. The reason for the one star was the awful lack of service. We waited for our orders for over half an hour. The table next to us waited for almost AN HOUR. Our server never came by once to apologize for the wait or let us know why our food took so long. Disappointed, to say the least.

Kana M.

Came here for breakfast... Pretty good!!! Nice view... Our server could have been friendlier... Food was pretty good!!!!!

Troy L.

I arrived just past 11am and ordered an early lunch. The view is spectacular on a beautiful Waikiki morning. I tried the fish tacos which were grilled and healthy with cabbage and black beans - a little spice and delicious. The accompanying fries looked a little too fried, or this review would be for 5 stars. My server Andrew was fantastic - I can't remember ever visiting a restaraunt and feeling like the server genuinely and sincerely wanted to make sure I had a good experience. I look forward to coming back to try their breakfasts and burgers. Btw, there were 7 great looking salads on the menu for those especially health conscience. Enjoy!

Elaine P.

This is an open air bar/restaurant with beautiful views of Waikiki beach. We came here for breakfast. It has your basic breakfast options such as 2 eggs any style with meats, potatoes and toast to omelettes with toast and potatoes too. They also have acai bowls and comes in a pineapple. Overall the food was good. Service was ok.

Michelle G.

Visited for breakfast. Corned beef was great. Loco Moco was blah-beef patty was underwhelming. Service was awesome. Waiter encouraged us to add oj to our Coors Light. Nice! Don't knock it until you try it.

Celina G.

Service was just okay, nothing special. The food on the other hand was great. Ordered the Maui Wowie Salad and the Surf and Turf. The mashed potatoes were on point. Recommend!

Jacqueline L.

Checked out the place during our vacation on Oahu. We sat at the bar facing out to the ocean. The view was amazing. The drinks were ehhh. They do have happy hour from 2-5pm so that was a plus as well as daily drink deals. Hubby and I shared the nachos which are like a full meal in themselves. Definitely share this! Overall, cool little place, Waikiki prices, good view, OK drinks. I wouldn't say it's a MUST eat at while in Oahu... Much better places to eat but if you're already on Waikiki beach it's a decent place to grab a snack.

Kiana W.

Lulu's is definitely more of a touristy restaurant than a local diner. It's located upstairs near the Waikiki boardwalk, so the view is breathtakingly beautiful. However, the food wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. I ordered the Garden Isle Scramble with a side of fruit and toast. It was okay...the eggs were "watery" and there was too much cheese. It seemed like the presentation was rushed, like everything was slopped on a plate. But the fruit was fresh and topped with mac nuts and shredded coconut. It was ono... On top of that, the atmosphere is lively, and our waiter (though I forgot his name) was exceptionally patient and kind. I won't come back for the food though.

Dave U.

The food was good but I was hungry so that played a role. The meal was over shadowed by the rushed feeling imposed by a staff that kept reaching between me and my date during the meal including clearing plates without asking and before we were finished eating. I think this would be a good spot for drinks but not to sit down and enjoy a meal and the scene. The restaurant was only 1/4 seated. Not busy.

Randy S.

LULU'S IS A MUST WHEN ON OAHU We love it here. Try to be seated at the "bar" facing the beach It's one of life's requirements...at least in my book. Oh...and the food is good too...lol

Jae D.

Food is great. Seating available quick. Views are great. Service is meh. Overall good

Kris B.

Yum chicken wings and fajitas! The fajita steak comes out sizzling, and the chicken wings have the right amount of spice to them. Good variety of beer and alcohol. Super fun atmosphere, and they often have live music at night. Counter seating along the second floor outside wall overlooking Waikiki Beach - pretty cool, but I haven't seen it during the day yet. Awesome for people watching haha! Other than that, good amount of table seating and there's always the bar. Parking - I park at the zoo at night and cross the street. Again, I've never been during the day so I'm not sure how that'd work. You can still try the zoo, but you do have to pay. Also cool ...They have Industry Night on Mondays. So if you're in the restaurant business, bring your Industry ID for a 50% discount and come in before 10pm to avoid the $10 cover.

Family was there for a week on vacation. Decided to try Lulu's as we have been there before and had a decent experience. We arrived at 7:20 and had to wait to be seated, even though our party of 5 would have fit almost anywhere (the restaurant wasn't half full). Once seated we had our orders taken. We watched 3 or 4 other tables seated and received their food before us. When we questions the waitress about what was going on as it had been 30 minutes since she took our order she simply said she was doing the best that she could. Not really the answer we were looking for considering the restaurant had other employees serving food to tables. We had a manager come over and ask what was going on and if there was anything he could do. We suggested to him that he should not have his wait staff use the excuse of "I'm doing the best I can" as an excuse. Shortly after our food came out. We had 2 salads, a quesadilla, kids chicken tenders, and steak bites. They food was luke warm at best (so we knew it was just sitting in the kitchen) while our waitress was never anywhere to be seen. The steak bikes were suppose to be cooked medium rare, and we had rare to barely seared. They were the last thing to arrive on the table. While we waited for our waitress to come back and ask how the food was (which never happened) we again flagged the manager. We told him how under cooked the steak was and at that point we just wanted to eat the meals that came out on time, and one person in our party was not going to eat. He apologized and took the steak bites back to the kitchen. We received refills of water and soda approximately 1x. When our waitress came with the bill we noticed they took the steak bikes off (which they should have anyways given our poor service) and discounted the bill 20%. We paid our bill and left the restaurant. By the time we left the restaurant it was almost 9:00 at night. We had the feeling that nothing was going to happen to the waitress as the manager gave off the vibe of he just didn't really care. Really disappointing that was the vibe he gave off. We probably will never visits Lulu's again and hopefully in the future management changes hands or staff is better trained on how to be sympathetic or explain things a little better when there's a problem with an order or a disagreement on service. I could understand if a cook was sick or they were short staffed and said so at the beginning when we were seated but to not have a valid excuse other than "I'm trying the best I can" isn't the answer.

Dee P.

Decided to come for breakfast to try the Kaluah pork Omelet. It wasn't bad, but it certainly wasn't the best. However, They didn't skimp on the pork so it was quite filling for only $11. It also comes with a side. The open view of the Waikiki Beach is amazing!!

Vianey S.

We usually go to IHOP for breakfast but since we were limited with time and we stayed in the Aston Waikiki Beach hotel we decided to come to Lulu's for breakfast. Overall, it was not as I thought it would be. My husband and I ordered the deuce's wild. The potatoes were a little raw but well seasoned though. The pancakes were flavorless, expected a little more. We would come back again but maybe to try something different or even maybe for dinner and a couples of drinks.

Belinda A.

Breakfast is delicious here. I'm seriously surprised how good food was. I loved the service and the food was amazing

Willem C.

We are locals and always go for a quick lunch or dinner there...as we always sat at the bar and get served by a lady server who is always friendly and helpful.. But the biggest upset today was the manager that helped a bit in the bar.. We all sweat in this humidity weather and hot past few weeks...I'm also a manager at a restaurant but health and safety is a big thing as he should know by taking the servsafe class for managers. 1.wiping your face with your hands or the white towel that he also used and later placed it in his front pocket to wipe his hands off is a big Noooooooo. Touching your nose or ear is also a no.. And them to top it off making drinks and make garnishes for the drinks without washing his hands is a big hygiene issue. Hopefully someone will see.this and address it to the manager with the blue shirt and things can get sorted out cos it might be a different story from a guest eye

Monica O.

Food was fairly good, but waiting 35 minutes for food to arrive after ordering was disappointing, especially for a salad, burger and steak. Steak was 1/3 fat, coffee and tea never refilled. Other servers appeared to be working hard. We asked for the manager and he never arrived. Didn't feel like wasting another minute here so we didn't push it.

Peeyoosha H.

We had a wonderful vacation in Hawaii and very first day visited LuLu's for dinner. There was live music, atmosphere was cheerful, food was great, overall fun time! We had tomato quesedilla and veggie penne pasta. Hawaiian drinks were out of the world, Tropical cocktail -Ultimate Mai Tai and Paradise punch was literally exotic. After two days we visited again late night just for the same drinks, Paradise punch and Mai tai. Watched surfing championship on TV, enjoyed till 12.30 and then left.

Andrea R.

Good for breakfast but it's going to be crowded for sure! We've been here twice now (once for breakfast and once for lunch). Pretty standard food for a bar. Kind of long waits and they keep seating us at the bench thing where we both face out at the street

Clarence J.

This is along the lines of a beach sports bar ... or a "beach-sports bar," based on surfing -- competitions and documentaries -- being on all (or nearly all) the tvs whenever I've been here. The second-floor restaurant has a long bar with bar seating and nearby high-top tables, easily (from a customer's perspective) configurable tables in the main dining area, and counter-seating at the 'windows' along two sides of the restaurant where the upper half of the wall is open overlooking the south end of Waikiki Beach (Kuhio and Kapiolani Beach Parks). The place has an older, worn in feel, and the bright wood throughout the restaurant, the open windows, and the high ceilings keep things light and airy. The staff is friendly, and the atmosphere -- from the staff as well as the customers -- is fun and lively. The small menu seemed a little pricey for what was available, but you're paying for the location and view as well. The food was alright, but nothing I tried was particularly interesting. I don't know that the fun atmosphere would be enough to draw me back when I'd have no interest in eating, but Simple Souls plays here every Sunday evening and that duo is awesome, so I'll be back at least for drinks and entertainment.

John E.

Showed up at 1:10 pm fro lunch. Ordered 2 salads and nachos. Took nearly 30 minutes to get food. Cheese on nachos were cold. My shrimp salad had 3 shrimp on skewer for $16. Waited 20 minutes for check. No one ever asked if food was good. Asked bussed for check. Fail. Started chatting with a girl. Finally gave waiter my card to pay before getting check. Then girl shows up with check. Later get 2nd check with receipt to sign. Now normally I tip about 20% on average. But the waiter did not give a rip. My 4 year old melted down. " Sorry, got slammed". Lame. So turn and burn then. Tiipped 4 bucks. Mistakenly did 12%. Should have tipped nothing

Lupita P.

This place has a great view and amazingly good food....and great service! Loco moco was excellent. I strongly recommend it.

Kristine Marie B.

Oh my fucking lord.. ive had better prime rib and im a daughter to a chef and a girlfriend to another chef what the hell no taste what so ever!!!!!! Ive been around chefs all my life and the prime rib i just had must be a joke!!! Im so pissed off that my dinner sucked

Gio L.

Great view of the beach. The food is budget friendly. Steak and calamari was good but is not that great compared to other restaurants like Outback. The place was clean and atmosphere was peaceful. There were alot of customers but they alao have plenty of tables and chairs. The 4 star ia for the outstanding attitude of their servers who always check on us and kept refilling our drinks.

Cynthia T.

Eating here for breakfast for our last day in Waikiki. Good and large breakfast with a beautiful view. Very filling and tasty. Unable to finish my meal because the portions were so big. A must try when you visit. Its close to the hotels, the beach and you can see the zoo from here as well. Will visit again the next time I visit.

Amy L.

We ate here for breakfast only. The food was okay, nothing to write home about. I got the eggs Benedict. The hollandais sauce was a little runny and could have been more flavorful- not worth the $11. My husband got the banana Mac nut pancakes, which he liked and at least you get a large portion for the price. Because of the location and touristy nature, the prices are a little high for the quality and they do not offer any Kama'aina discount which is always disappointing. The waitress was friendly but paid way more attention to her other tables because they were her friends. Took forever to get a cup of ice for our iced coffees and again forever when I asked for a box. It was almost 11am and they were not busy. Open air atmosphere was nice and you do have a good view of the ocean from most of the seats. Not horrible, but probably won't be back.

George N.

A fun bar to grab a drink or a bite to eat. You are on the second floor, so you get a bird's eye view of the street below. They have a nice happy hour and daily food specials.

Azadeh K.

When it's my first time eating at a restaurant, I really expect to be like, "WOW, this is an amazing place! I can't wait to come back again!" Unfortunately, this place did not seem too fond on wanting my service here again. I am super aggravated to a mere utter disgust on the service that has happened towards my family. Yes, we are not VISITING here, we LIVE in Oahu but that does not mean you treat ANY CUSTOMER differently! So here is how it started off...... As we walked in (the opposite side of the restaurant by the bar area) , the hostess seemed irritated, not a smile or a peep of "Welcome" came out of her mouth, she directed us to our table & did not even ask what we would like to drink or inform us that our server would assist us soon. She completely just up's and leaves and greets other tourists customers with a smile and warm aloha's, okay strike 1, I am becoming irritable towards her attitude! Our server comes & takes our order & we decided as a family we would just order appetizers, which was they're Nacho's & they're 2 full sets of chicken wings (spicy & thai). We probably waited for a good 40-45 min waiting on JUST appetizers! I really wonder how long the wait would be if we each ordered a separate entree. It was completely ridiculous! & not to mention not once did our server check on us to inform us about our food wait or refill any of our waters until we asked & what's more worse twice when we politely asked for our refills, he nods then directly attends to other tables needs while we wait another 10-15 min for water, which I should mention was not iced and tasted like dirty tap water, which had me disgusted, strike 2! Food: Beach Boy's Nachos with extra guacamole ($15.00 + .50) = It was probably the WORST nachos experience we have ever experienced as a family. Cheese was not gooey but stale like its been sitting there waiting to be served, the guacamole was tasteless, and the pico de gallo looked more like pico de salsa! it was just a plain old glob of mush! if you want nacho's, this place is definitely not the place to order one! /: Kids Mac & Cheese w/fries ($6) Literally looked like someone grabbed a box & microwaved it so it could be quick and easy, and the fries looked okay, our boo was still hungry but once his 2nd portioned arrived he wasn't that much hungry to eat fake cheese again smh it was a disappointment. Classic Hot Wings - Full size ($15.00) - It was pretty good, not too much sauce, but it was really dry, if it was not for the blue cheese, the hot wings would not be such a hot item, but it was the only decent appetizer on the menu /: Thai Apricot Wings - Full size ($15.00) - Not my favorite, there was no Thai curry or Thai flavor at all when it came to the wings, super dry and super sweet...it was more Apricot tasting then anything! Plus the celery sticks that came with it was horrible!! the ends were not cut, it looked as if they were old celery sticks withering away before our eyes, it was not a appetizing sight or taste, it was a big fail, which became my last strike...yes STRIKE 3, and from there, I wanted out. Probably will never come back here again, the service was horrible, the food looked better then it tasted, and I just felt that because we were not tourist folks that they looked down on us in some sort of way, and I cannot nor will I ever support any restaurant that does or runs a business in that matter! I really did not want to tip the, at all, but its more of an insult when you tip them just a dollar! wish I could have written a long note of how unhappy I was from the beginning!! So definitely no happy eats here yelpers! /:

Great location overlooking the beach! The atmosphere was upbeat and the service was wonderful. I had breakfast there and the food was delicious. Try it out.

1. Verdict: Come for the view of Waikiki (Kuhio Beach)! 2. Food: (this review based on breakfast) - for starters, a $4 juice will leave you thirsting for more (see picture) - it's not worth it given the small size. The $3 coffee was saved by the free refills. But breakfast gets better. The Light Breakfast ($8) had two eggs, corned beef hash and one piece of toast - small, but decent. Same goes with the Duece's Wild - two eggs, two pancakes, two bacon, corned beef hash - it may be a better value for hungrier patrons and just as tasty. If you like Denny's or Zippy's, you're going to like breakfast here. 3. Service: the restaurant was about three-quarters full on this particular Sunday morning. Not sure if this is the norm, but our server was hard to get and we found him rarely passing by, even though we were in the middle-ish of the restaurant, one table away from the open windows. I would challenge advocates of tipping wait staff to be served by our waiter and see if they still support the notion of tipping everyone at a minimum of 15%. One hopes that our experience was not normal. 4. Atmosphere: from the neat flight of steps to the second floor restaurant to the wood decor, TVs everywhere, lights (the place must be neat at night) - props go to the decorating team, but the key feature during the day has got to be the view. Choose a seat along the bar-style surface and seats by the open windows to enjoy the view of Kuhio Beach and the people walking by on Kalakaua Avenue down below. 5. Value: 4 stars became 3 based on service. When it comes to breakfast, this is really Denny's or Zippy's with more TVs and a beach view. It's competitive given the other good (and better and more central options on Kalakaua for breakfast; however, this isn't a bad choice.

The food was good...the fish tacos were good and the spinach and artichoke dip. It is a little pricey but what do you expect from a bar with an awesome view of the beach.

Debbie H.

Club sandwich and garlic fries are absolutely amazing. Loved our waiter. Hit at happy hour and ice cold kona Longboard and friend said her frozen strawberry daiquiri was awesome!

We stayed at park shore this time around. This is upstairs in open restaurant with bar and tvs. Band played up front next to Bannister. We sat 6 chairs from them. Okay music. Our waitresses was wearing very tight pants. She was okay but not customer oriented. 3 stars not 4 or 5 we experienced in other places. Typical 3 star service. Food was okay but nothing spectacular. I ordered fish and told waitresses not veggies meaning no chopped green onions on top. Tried to pick off but eventually had to send back. Hope food did not get messed with in back. Wife had fish too with mashed potatoes. Mashed were good. Kind funny as I am writing reviews after a week their. Other than mashed being good no stand outs.

Had breakfast here. The food was delicious and the portions were great. The kids menu is lacking as far as options so we ordered a regular meal for my son. I ate the waffle with coconut syrup. It was yummy. Love that they put toasted coconut in the syrup! The view is amazing if you sit at the bar along the outside wall. What beats breakfast with a view of the beach?? Uh, nothing!!! All in all I would definitely eat here again, matter of fact I plan to eat dinner here tonight as well as their menu options looks fantastic.

Damitrus F.

I was very disappointed with the service. We ordered two beers from the bar and an appetizer. We received the wrong appetizer and still no beer. Finally after a few mess ups we received our appetizer and the beer. The server who had no sense of direction blamed us for the mix up on the appetizer. The place wasn't even busy I have no idea where her head was. Never again.

Martin Z.

A local suggested I try Lulu's. I'm very happy I did. The food arrived promptly and was very delicious. Nothing beats delicious, reasonably priced food. Their nachos could use a sturdier chip, but still was very satisfying. I also ordered a chicken Caesar salad. It's probably the best Caesar dressing I've ever had. 5 stars across the board!!

Mairead G.

This place is great for Breakfast, Lunch & Dinner. My personal favorite is BRUNCH TIME. The view is to die for, food is delicious & service is friendly. The nachos are HUUUUUUGE. We sat around one morning at 10:45 and our waiter didn't get to us until after 11AM (when lunch starts), but they were nice enough to give us the option of breakfast or lunch, this is the second time this has happened so I feel they are extremely accommodating. The manager is walking around checking that customers are enjoying themselves, making small talk and what not until your server gets there, I like that. Luckily were pretty patient people. What's a brunch without booze? The bloody mary's are the best on the island, & the mai tai's will definitely go straight to your head. And the decor? Where else do you see puffer fish lights? One downfall are the bathrooms, every time I've come there I end up waiting till the next place. They are pretty gnarly.

Paige H.

Food here is excellent. Customer service, not so much. We've been here 3 times this week and only once have we gotten a waiter that was nice. I've been a waitress before so I know it can really suck, but if you don't like it you need to find something else to do. I am not going to go back to a restaurant where someone talks to me like I'm stupid because I have a couple of questions about the menu. Two stars is for the good food and our one good waiter.

Jake W.

3-star for food, but after it arrived an hour later (smh). Eggs ben-ie and a meal for my buddy at bfast and we slowly finished two drinks before our food came. Otherwise not bad for a tourist spot in Waikiki. I could more or less do spam and egg musubis all day.

Tim A.

This review is only based on the bar and not the food. We did not eat here. This place has some pretty good views and the staff was friendly. The drinks weren't anything that good. Just typical of what you'd expect in a crappy bar.

Kevin Z.

Buddy recommended this place for a good place for drinks & bar food. Def a great place for sure. We ordered the wings, artichoke dip, nachos, & fries. The wings were not too hot so even someone who can't deal w/ hot sauces could deal w/ the temperature. The dip came w/ quite a bit of cheese on it, something I never have seen served w/. There was too much of it on it for my liking & felt it took away from the flavor or the dip. Their nachos are plentiful for a group to share. The servers were friendly. It's right on the main strip of Waikiki towards the end. I made the statement that if they cleared an area it would be great for dancing. They had a DJ while we were there on Friday night. Not sure if they were charging for entrance, but we came back on Monday for Industry night which they charged $10 to get in. Monday nights are NUTS! It was packed and the ratio is 3:1 or 4:1 guys to girls. They did make that area I mentioned into a dance floor, but because it was packed we left shortly after our drink.

Nick H.

Looking for a spot that doesn't seem so touristy? Lulu's is one of our favorite spots near Waikiki. Lulu's has a special place in my heart - that special place only reserved for banana macadamia nut pancakes - and every time I've been to Lulu's, that place seems to grow. My wife and I love Lulu's - it's a laid back scene on the end of the strip with great seating overlooking Waikiki. I should note that my mother in law's name is Lulu - so the fact that this review is so positive should hold extra weight - although I actually do really love my mother-in-law, unless she tries to stand in between me and banana mac nut pancakes, then she needs to go!

Abigail L.

I came here my first night in Hawaii, then a Saturday evening, followed by a couple mornings for breakfast. The atmosphere is beautiful here! It's all open to see the gorgeous beach and there's a great breeze :). Also, the prices are definitely affordable-it was actually comparable to back home, which made me happy because I was assuming it would be expensive around here due to it being a major tourist attraction! The food AND drinks here are yummy..especially breakfast :) I can't wait to return!

Erin B.

Came here on two occasions first time for lunch and discovered the happy hour specials. We had the coconut shrimp, fish tacos and the pulled pork sandwich. The coconut shrimp were delicious. Fish tacos were great with plenty of fish. The pulled pork was tasty but so large and filling it was too much to finish. We came here a second time because the mango daiquiris were so excellent the first time. I've read other reviews that were critical of the service. We had zero problems with the attentiveness of the staff on two separate occasions.

Ryan L.

We ate here 2 days in a row. 1st day we ate lunch. Service was great. The drinks were great. And everyone was super friendly. I would have given them a 4 rating. Fast forward to the next day. It seems everyone other then the 2 bartenders were hungover. No one seemed to be wanting to be at work. If you asked for silverware to eat it almost seemed as though you were putting them out. The hostess was way to hung over to even contemplate the request for an extra seat. Anyway I wouldn't say don't go cause all in all food was decent. But service in the AM sucked.

Trent F.

So yesterday I had the opportunity to try out Lulu's. Great place with a chill atmosphere and even better view of the pier, beach and park across the street. The people that work here are extremely pleasant and the service was great. I had the ahi poke and the coconut shrimp. All I can say is that I don't always eat ahi poke but when I do I eat it at Lulu's in Waikiki . I would recommend this place to a friend or a family member for sure. It was so good that I went back for breakfast and ordered a plate of corn beef hash with sausages and eggs. My first complaint would have been the cleanliness of the restaurant but with the volume of traffic that frequents this place on a daily basis, I'm not surprised. The second issue was that the corn beef hash was greasy (to my liking anyways) This is the reason for the removal of 1 star. Still all and all great place to hit and try if your in the area. Cheers

Jacob H.

Lulus is always great, the only downside sometimes is the loud band. I absoulutely love that they have live music but when im trying to enjoy the sunset and a drink I dont need speakers in my ear super loud the atmosphere is already loud enough.

Amber S.

Lulus is great their Nachos are every mans Dream even though I'm not a man (beach Boys nachos ) , come with tons of meat and all the fixings !!! And all the bartendresses are amazing and beautiful !!But since I've ordered the most drinks from her.. And been here the most while she is bartending ; Sarah is my favorite!! She made me feel So welcome to Hawaii when I had just gotten here and is just AMAZING!

NOTE: industry night is not for the faint of heart. Every Monday lulu's offers 50% off for people working in the food service industry (proof is required). Pretty good deal because otherwise the food is actually pretty pricey. Came here around dinnertime with a friend that could get us the 50% off and I think we got there right before the dinner rush. I imagine late at night it gets way more chaotic but even while we were there it was pretty full up. They had live music from about 7p and that seemed to be around the time people started piling into the place. Started with beers, they have your typical blue moons and heinekens on tap but also a few from local breweries. We started by splitting the Maryland mahi and a side order of fries (I was craving, so sue me). The Maryland mahi was really tasty. You can get it with white rice, mashed potatoes, or rice pilaf and we opted for the rice pilaf which seemed to be a good choice. The dish is basically a piece of fish sandwiched between two crab cakes with lemon caper something sauce. Whatever, it was delicious. Pretty ok portion too though if I'd been paying $26, I might have been a little underwhelmed (for $13 it was great though!). Table next to us ordered the prime rib that arrived on a sizzling plate smelling like it came straight from garlic heaven so OF COURSE we had to get one too. It wasn't as good as the mahi in my opinion but the smell didn't lead us astray; the meat was flavorful and soft albeit with a few fatty pieces I opted to cut off. One thing I really liked is the seating along the edge of the restaurant that allowed us a view of kalakaua ave and the beach beyond it. Open air allowed a nice breeze but it was so hot it barely made a dent while we were there. We parked at the zoo. That's probably your best bet and if you're spending an extended amount of time there, the meter thingy has an app so you can add more time remotely. They fancy, huh??

Jessica C.

The loco moco I had today for breakfast was amazing. The egg over medium was perfect, the gravy was just creamy enough and salty enough to give the hamburger and white rice mix meld perfectly each bite. Some places over salt the hamburger but this patty was definitely made by hand (no factory frozen patty here) and lightly seasoned, juicy and really tasty. This meal is perfect if you're going out to surf, hit the water, walk around or just about to hit the beach in general to sightsee. Guaranteed to keep you full for a while to avoid any "hanger" issues. We actually has breakfast here all week- three other occasions. Each time was delicious, service was great, food was solid. Will come back again the next time I'm back in Waikiki.

Jeremy K.

2nd floor so the view is great. Lunch goes until 5pm. Happy hour 3-5, and they are open until 1:30am! Fast service and good food. The Volcano fries are not that hot. But ranch is a good idea with them. 3 adults 2 kids 5 adult beverages cost $115. We would definitely go back.

Kristine C.

I've been here several times and they haven't disappointed me. It's only about time that I do leave a review for them. It's a great place to hang out with one friend up to a whole party. For out of town guests and friends that don't go to Waikiki often, they are located next to Tiki's on the corner of Kalakaua and Kapahulu Ave. You can't miss this place due to the action that happens here. It's really happening that like any other good places, they get guests waiting out the door. My friend and I went here on a Monday night, during Monday football. Since there was only the two of us, the wait wasn't too long. After 5 minutes of hardly waiting, we were seated on the front side with the view of Waikiki beach. (Always on Vacation) Regardless of how busy they were, we've not had to wait 10 minutes to get served. The quality of service was on point. I've had lunch and dinner here and I've been content with the quality of their food. I would highly recommend their Surf N' Turf and BLT. My steak was prepared just to my liking without it having to be sent back. I've had the same dish 2 times and I've been satisfied each time. I can definitely say the same for my BLT for my lunch choice. 50% off Mondays (All Day) for people working in the industry. Now I wish I work part time for the serving industry!

Christoph I.

The food: Best nachos in town! Try them with the kailua pork. Good selection of beers. The service: Friendly but the nachos took 23 minutes to table after the order! Way too long. We also had to wait 10 minutes to order. The place wasnt crowded. Unfortunately its always slow here (last 3 times before too).

Dave M.

This place had an amazing atmosphere, really liked the decor and wow so this is Hawaii. We instantly felt alive. It was never my intention to give reviews based on an employee, but you know what...the more I thought about it...employees are a critical part of the experience. Our waitress was awful in every way. There's no other way to put it. She was so unpleasant, that we actually left the restaurant earlier then planned.

Ed L.

First time here at LuLu's Waikiki! Yup, I can feel like this is where the tourist folk and locals meet here for pau hana and just hang out. I was fortunate to hang out with a marathoner friend of mine, whom happened to be here on vacation with his wife, and we met up for dinner here at LuLu's Waikiki. They were staying at the Waikiki Beach Marriott, so it was just a simple walk on over for them, but I met them at the hotel and we just walked on over. We entered at about 6:30pm on a recent Wednesday evening. The ambiance was loud, since there was live music, but we got a table away from the the band. Still, there were speakers almost everywhere, so it was just loud regardless. This place is stereotypical of what Waikiki eateries have become, mixed in with local flavors that cater to the tourist. Not that I don't mind, it was a change of pace that this kama'aina was used to. LuLu's Waikiki is located on the corner of Kapahulu Avenue and Kalakaua Avenue, overlooking the pristine iconic Waikiki Beach. The physical address is on Kapahulu, but the entrance and stairs was on Kalakaua Avenue. It was a perfect setting for dinner, after a challenging day at the office, where I just partook in a Kona longboard (draft beer). The server didn't even card me, so that was great. There are limited parking spaces in the surrounding area, but best bet is to look at street parking wherever you can find it. If you are like me, bus routes #2 and #13 come through Waikiki and stops close to LuLu's, so there is really no excuse not to come here at least once. The prices here were reasonable, I would say. It ranged from $11-$26, depending on what you wanted to eat. LuLu's has a wide range of plates to choose from - from tacos and pasta, to steak and seafood. This place pretty much runs the gamut of food choices to be had. They even had poke too! The ambiance, as mentioned before was loud with live music, but without it, it can be mellow as a doctor's office, when it wants to be. The service was quick and the server gave us two menus with the drink menu in tow. I ultimate chose the Magnum P.I. burger, which came with bacon and my choice of Swiss cheese. Serviced with French fries on the side with ketchup. The burger was cooked evenly, even though I wasn't asked how it would be cool. I guess they would know! The burger was tasty and for $13, it was worth every penny! I also had the Kona Longboard (draft beer) for $6. The beer did hit the spot, honestly. It's been a good while since I had a beer, I think. The server was Professional and LuLu's takes credit cards, which is always amazing! Overall, this place is nice for anytime of the day. Perfect for just hanging out after a challenging day at the office or take in a good meal without braking the budget in the heart of Waikiki. Nice beach views, depending on where in the restaurant you are sitting. Support local! B

Garrett Kaeo W.

Came here with a friend that was in town for work. After his long shift I figured we would hit this spot since it has an amazing view and live music. No wait for a table (countertop to grab the view) and we ordered drinks right away. I wasn't to hungry but he ordered the coconut shrimp and a steak. He said both where very good. The drinks where great as well, strong and ice cold! Overall its a great place but like everything in Hawai'i, its expensive.

daniel R.

I had the Magnum PI burger with Cajun Fries and a Black and Tan beer. It was tasty. Although it came with a slice of onion it needed more of a crunch. Perhaps I should of asked for a toasted bun. The burger did look very good. But the fries were cold. The Black and Tan tasted as if it was really watered down. I could finish it or the fries. But that's my doing. The burger filled me up. It's a good sized burger.

There are a million expensive places to get brunch on the beach. This is the place to get a great breakfast with your friends/family for a reasonable price. The food is very good, and the view is great. Bring a big group... they sit you at long tables... (so you might sit by a stranger if that bugs you). It doesn't bug me. You are across the street from the public beach... not right on the water, but close to water, open air (all under cover), and a good view. Plus you are at the end of the strip closest to Diamond Head, so you get a view of that too (rare).

Daniel C.

Monday is industry day/night here! Parking: This is located in Waikiki so expect to pay a premium if you park in a hotel. For those who are Chinese like me, you can park at the Zoo which is pay to park at the pay stations or look for street parking (2 hour maximum). There are stalls on Kapahulu Ave. but if you really want to save some money and don't mind the walk, you can park along Kapiolani Park (beach side) for free. Food: My friend invited me to lunch here because it was industry night here so he got a generous discount off the check. This was my first time dining here and it won't be the last. Food here was good and with the discount, you can order up a storm! We started with the Ahi Poke w/Avocado ($16.00) and it was flavorful. The ahi is over some rice in a fried shell over a bit more of rice. Great plating! Since we've been trying to be healthy, we both ordered salads with the dressing on the side. He got the Leahi's Grilled Ahi Salad ($16.00) and the balsamic vinaigrette was legit! I liked it more than my dressing that my salad came with. The Ahi was grilled just right over a huge serving of organic baby greens. I ordered the Maui Wowie Salad (15.00) and the Tiger Prawn Shrimp was the best! It was the best part of the salad next to the avocado. I wasn't too big of a fan of the baby romaine lettuce it came with. It was very generous in portion but I only ate about 85% of the salad because I ran out of shrimp, red onion, tomatoes, cucumbers and cheese to eat with the lettuce. We did share the Teriyaki Steak Bites ($14.00). It was very good and had very little fat on the meat. The mushrooms soaked in the teriyaki sauce was the perfect compliment to the steak. Ambiance and Service: Service was a bit slow but very good when our server was there. It was busy so very understandable because he had a lot of tables to serve. My friend knocked over his beer once he got it and the server quickly helped us wipe it up and brought over a new beer within minutes at no charge! That stood out to both of us because he didn't' have to because it was my friends fault for knocking over the beer. 4.5 stars out of 5 on service! All the food came out promptly but I can't stop thinking about the view overlooking Waikiki Beach. It was beautiful! Since it was next to the beach, everyone was very casual from beach attire to shorts and slippers. When you walk up the stairs and into the restaurant, you immediately feel relaxed with the very local themed decor. They have a nice bar and tons of LCD flatscreen TV's that you can watch from all over if you're not enjoying the view.

Jackie B.

This place is cool! I liked the layout of the restaurant. I had a good view of Waikiki. The food is reallly good, i had the loco moco and split the stuffed french toast with my friend. Really yummy. Left off one star because the service wasn't really good. I didn't get one refill on my coffee and no one kept up with our waters. Other than that it was a good experience.

Shan M.

Loved this place!! It's conveniently located on the beach with a gorgeous view. We are here 5-6 times on our week long vacation. Breakfast is delicious, no complaints whatsoever. And the wait staff is quick and friendly. Lunch and dinner was dynamite. There spinach artichoke dip is the best I've ever had. Okay beer selection. I heard they have a craft beer night or something but we didn't make it then. Would have loved to see more IPA's but it's Hawaii, can't be too picky lol. Overall, Lulu's has great food, good staff and an excellent atmosphere. It was very much enjoyable

Oscar G.

This place is packed but they sat us within 10 minutes. They are also very accommodating with kids. We had a stroller and bags because we were going to the beach. Great stuff... Thats about it. Everything else was pretty much washed away because we have been waiting for over 1 hour and our food is nowhere to be seen. So much potential. So disappointed. --- After waiting.... just when we were ready to walk out. A bit of redemption. The black and blue benedict eggs were great. The rest of our dishes were ok. The "sourdough" is not sourdough, keep that in mind, it's just white bread toast. Raising 2 stars because the food was fine but still not happy with the time. Definitely not worth the wait. We have missed most of our activities for the day due to the delay waiting for our food. --- From the rest of my party: Mile high omelet... "no wow factor, nothing to write home about" Tofu benedict "was okay too." Banana pancakes "I've had them before, very disappointed this time. Dry and bland"

Jason C.

Go for convenience, like after going to the zoo and dont feel like finding another place or staying near by. Don't drive to go here! Food 3 star, but the view is nice Nachos with Kalua Pork is good. Do NOT order the Thai wings or the bread pudding.

Jennifer R.

Mediocre at best. Called earlier today to take a reservation, was informed that they weren't taking them today. Was told for a party of 3 the wait would be about 20 minutes. My husband and I show up around 9:30 (when we wanted to reserve a table) and walked into the more than half empty restaurant/ bar. We were told our table would be "ready" "soon". Don't get me wrong? The views of Waikiki are beautiful. That's what you're waiting for. The service isn't great. The food is bland. You wait forever for your check. I'm forced to look at SF Giants pennants on the walk. Welcome to Lulu's.

Nicole W.

My family and I received a gift card for the restaurant, and found ourselves utterly disappointed by the experience. While we were seated quickly, the food took an additional 35 minutes to reach the table and the kitchen made slight mistakes on the order to top it off. Our waiter was nice, and the view was spectacular. However, we all agreed that we've had better food for a better price elsewhere.

Cara A.

If I could, I would give this place zero stars. The service was terrible. We waited about 40 minutes then the hostess comes to us saying our table is ready but we have to wait 15 minutes because they're too busy. Umm theres like 5 tables open. Then the waiter told us if we wanted separate checks, we couldn't move seats and only one of our friends switched seats who by the way wasn't even going to order anything. Also didn't make sense that he said that because he didn't even serve the food. When he saw that one of us switched seats he scolded us and told us he's doing us a favor by separating the checks and then walked away shaking his head. If you want a name, his name was Dominic. So if you get him as a waiter, tell them you wanna move to a different section. He always goes by the hostess desk and we saw him wiping menus instead of getting our food. So after waiting like 15 minutes to finally get our order, the food comes out about an hour later and my arichoke dip was cold which by the way came out with the entree. It's an appetizer so it should've been out a looonnngggg time ago. To top the night, our checks finally came and noticed there was an automatic 18% gratituity which was BS because we were forced to tip on such terrible service. I hope this place either gets their employees attitudes straight or just shut down.

Colleen K.

Again, this is a hidden treasure for breakfast! The stuffed French toast never disappoints. I ordered the whole serving but probably would have been just fine with the half serving, and avoided the food coma that followed this delicious breakfast. The location is perfect, serene, and great for people watching. Don't miss out on this gem!!

Bill T.

Tonight we enjoyed dinner at Lu Lu's Waikiki. The place was almost packed but we lucked out with a table in front of the wonderful entertainment (no waiting for seating). The service was tops (server was John) and the food was tasty for a reasonable price. The surprise was when our bill had 18% gratuity PLUS 18% service charge, so a 36% tip. Sneaky trick threw away the otherwise 5 star rating. (I've been properly corrected that the restaurant only helped themselves to a 18% tip (which they also call a service charge). Still worth noting but indeed not the 36% I'd thought.)

Shae C.

During our vacation we came here twice! There was a party of 6 at dinner time, and we had a great time! Our server was on top of it. We were overlooking Waikiki beach and was beautiful. Our server checked up on us constantly, our group was drinking like no other. I had the New York steak with grilled shrimp and mash potatoes. it was ONO!!! Steak was cooked just right, with amazing flavor. My sister had ahi poke bowl, and she loved it. Fresh fish! My husband had a burger, and was quite for about 10 min. (He's a talker) so he loved it! Would definitely recommend!

Sadie P.

I love coming here on Mondays. Drew was out server today and was on point. Drinks came out fast frequently and the food was good. Thanks drew

We got here at at 10:00am and drove into the zoo to look for parking which we knew would be a challenge by the looks of the lot. So after an HOUR of circling the zoo parking lot and finally getting a stall a little after 11:00am (yeah a fricking hour) what was supposed to be a brunch turned into lunch. When we checked in, the place was a little more than half full so we were seated quickly. We were pleased where we were seated too. Right on the corner looking out to the ocean with a clear view of Walls. When the waitress came we asked if they were still serving breakfast. She said they were just about to serve lunch but you still have time to order breakfast. So after looking at the breakfast menu and thoughts of not pissing off the chef with last minute breakfast stragglers I suggested we opt for the lunch menu. (I have a tendency to look at things in a different angle) We ordered the Teriyaki Steak Bites and the Fried Calamari Strips to share. The wife had the Longboard Cobb Salad. I had the Hot Lava Burger with fries. The calamari strips were thick and soft. A lot better than being cut into rings in my opinion. Teriyaki bites were perfectly prepared medium rare. Both dishes were good size portions too. The burger looked dry when it arrived but looks were very deceiving. It was moist and juicy all the way through on a really soft burger bun. The cobb salad was excellent. According to the wife everything was fresh and the salad is huge. We ended up taking the leftovers to the beach. Customer service was friendly from the get go and the wait time for our order was not unreasonable either. The waitress was great by keeping the ice water and ice tea filled. The only drawback I can think of is trying to find parking. I lost track track of how much times I circled the zoo lot and it started to wear on me. One thing that kept going through my mind was patience, its something you need when everyone's looking. Regardless of the situation I definitely would come back.

Marc A.

Great food with a spectacular view of the ocean as well as a great perch to people watch as the day wakes up.

Xia V.

Ordered the kuala pork nachos and let's say they know how to cook their pork here in the island, but bit skimpy on the pork. Couple of top bites and the meat was gone. The chips were not top chips, soft and chewing a bit. And I guess the delivery was not speedy or something because the cheese was so what harden. And the second order was fresh " catch" salad, perfect fish and cook, but a bit bland. It is always a great place to meet with a whole bunch of friends and hang and drink. I would definitely come back.

Jessica C.

Such an awesome place for breakfast. This is the second time the hubby and I have visited and we were not disappointed. He had one of their special omelets and I had to try the stuffed French toast (ask for a half order unless you are really hungry or have a big sweet tooth). Mimosas, Bloody Mary and coffee were excellent also.

Felipe S.

The only reason to go to Lu Lu's is because of the view. I went for breakfast and the only thing that made things tolerable was the sunny view of Diamond Head and the Pond in Waikiki. The Dawn Patrol omelet was pretty bad, my coffee was worse (both overlooked/brewed). The prices are ok for the location but I did not see anything that made this place worth visiting again.

Lulu's has the chillest ambiance out of all the establishments that I've been to during my stay in Waikiki (Hula Grill is a close second). The decoration is kind of... interesting? They have blown up pufferfish for lighting. Portions are extremely, extremely huge. We got a thing of nachos to share between 6 people and it was enough. It's really good if you get it with the kalua pork. Be careful though, the jalapeno peppers are really spicy. My boyfriend and I also shared the pork quesadillas which, again, came in a large portion. Pork was tender, and it was really good, but it cost extra for sour cream. I don't know why, but I was so pleasantly surprised that the T.V.s were showing surfing competitions instead of basketball or baseball or football or soccer whatever. It sounds pretty obvious because, duh, it's Hawaii, but it really contributed to the Hawaiian ambiance. Server was really nice and food was prompt. Beware, the place gets busy early in the week and during rush hours. tl;dr Anything with pork here is good. Ambiance is fantastic to just hang out at.

LuLu's made it right and cheerfully so. Good music and good martinis by the way. Boisterous and open to street and beach below, Lulu's turned out to be one of our better dining experiences in Waikiki. Our food was of good quality, not remarkable, but frankly, it's a tourist locale so one has to temper one's expectations. Dinner could have been most disappointing due to the fact that a rib eye I ordered was not at all to my liking for several reasons, including being well over-cooked. When I complained, the waitress was immediately accommodating and asked if I'd like something else. In short order, an excellent cut of prime rib cooked to perfection arrived. Matter resolved in a polite and expeditious manner. Good for LuLu's. The duet that constituted a band that evening was notably delightful. The bartender knows how to shake a martini, a talent that escapes many in the trade.

Francois G.

Wow! Definitely better than what I expected. The place is straight in front of the Waikiki Beach, view is amazing, Live band was great and the food... outstanding. I had the new york Strip with Jumbo Shrimp, it was delicious, steak cooked perfectly and the shrimp tasted like a little piece of heaven. Definitely reommended

Angie G.

Meals are small but very good. Good beer selection and happy hour. Nice view of the ocean. Service was ok!

Jen J.

A friend recommended LuLu's to us and we wanted to try it. We saw they had poke on the menu so we took a walk from HHV to LuLu's (about 1.2 mile walk). We were seated quickly, the waiter was nice and got our orders in quickly. My Mom ordered the Jalapeño Burger. It looked delicious and she said it was excellent. I had the Kahlua pork quesadilla and not only did it have great flavor (most kahlua pig I ordered was too salty, this had perfect flavor), it was huge and I had to share. My husband got the ahi poke. He said that it was only ok and was disappointed in the size for the price. Don't let the picture fool you, there was rice underneath. I would guess there was maybe 4 oz. Good thing the quesadilla was huge and I could share or else he would have left hungry. Cool atmosphere, with a great view and 2 out of 3 of our party was impressed with their food.

My boyfriend and I went on to Lulu's twice on a recent trip to Waikiki and I would definitely recommend this place to anyone! For breakfast, I ordered the black and blue Benedict-- ahi tuna on an English muffin with hollandaise sauce. Holy hell, what a way to start the day! I'm honestly not THAT big on ahi tuna so I had a hard time finishing it (that and it was massive), but absolutely amazing flavor and quality! After that great of a breakfast experience, we had to make sure to stop back on our last day on the island. We missed breakfast, but lunch was just as good. We couldn't resist the nacho appetizer...I honestly thought it wouldn't been very hit or miss putting fish on nachos. Definitely a hit!! We had to wait longer than usual for the nachos, so they hooked us up with a full order (even though we only ordered half). SUPER filling! Id recommend only going for the half order. After the nachos and a beer we could barely touch our actual lunches. I got the Mahi Mahi sandwich and my boyfriend got the fish tacos. I probably wouldn't recommend the sandwich because the bread was a little too much, but the fish tacos were really tasty! The view alone is reason to go here. You can sit around the window and look right out at the ocean. Prices are reasonable and they cut all their fish in-house. With so little breakfast options in Waikiki, definitely opt for Lulu's over eggs n things! No wait, awesome menu and friendly service...gotta check it out!

Brooke O.

Came for lunch tho I would have rather made it for breakfast. But lunch was good except this place only serves straight coffee, no latte's or mochas which I don't get in todays time. Waiter told me I was free to run downstairs and get a Starbucks...yea, I never give Starbucks my business. But remember, byo-coffee. I got the cheeseburger and french fries, it was very good but the guy at another table got the club and made me wish I'd gotten that instead, it looked amazing. Hub got philly cheese steak and really liked it too. The service was ok, not the worst ever but not the best. I'd go back, next time for breakfast and I'll know to bring my coffee from McDonalds :).

Susie T.

Lulu sucks! Do not order any chips and salsa taste nasty and if you order the coconut shrimp is very dry with no sauce on the side

Peter K.

Came in for late night drinks. Had so many Paradise Punches I lost count. The server was super friendly even though she had to deal with rowdy group. Had a great time there!

Jessica M.

Walked past this place a couple times and finally decided to try it based on the amazing view of Waikiki beach. Great prices, delicious food, but extremely incompetent wait staff (and possibly kitchen?) after waiting for our food for what seemed like forever we overheard a waitress take an order of the table next to us and explain that "our kitchen is extremely backed up due to how busy we are so the food is going to take awhile" it was 9:30...there was no wait...and several tables available. I have no idea why the food took so long but having two hosts for a non existent wait probably didn't help.

Kevin P.

I love there maitais especially during happy hour. ;) make a reservation if you want an ocean view. They also have live music often. Great vibes all around.

Dara U.

Great restaurant on the beach. We watched World Cup games here and ate and drank here. Great food, great bloody Mary's!! Service was awesome as well.

Shannon S.

Came here for breakfast the other morning.. Very good! I ordered the Waikikian omelette with the side of corned beef hash. Amazing! The staff was very courteous and friendly. Has an amazing view of the ocean, and very reasonably priced. I'll be moving to Honolulu within the next month, will come back again!

Marissa A.

What a great atmosphere. Called in to make reservations, we were seating right away, in a table that faced the ocean. Server was nice and efficient. Food was excellent. We ordered the ahi tuna with avocado and the blackened mahi with garlic mashed potatoes. Best garlic mashed potatoes ever! Try 'em! Live music was awesome too!

Cerena G.

I love this place. We have to come here every time we come to HI. Love the atmosphere and openness of this place. Service is always great. Nachos are the best here! Happy hour has good drink specials, but no food specials. Coming tonight for industry night, which I hear is a good time.

Ingrid H.

Great open air second story tiki shack with view of the ocean. While its a large area it gets really busy right before sunset so come early if you want a seat at the edge. Otherwise, the atmosphere is casual and you may be sharing a table with other vacationers. The service was really good and all the appetizers were delicious. We had the seared ahi, the steak tips and the quesidillas with mai tais and mojitos. Everyone really enjoyed it!

Joe F.

Spin dip is really good here, definitely worth snagging. The prices are a bit over the value, but its the main drag in Waikiki so that's to be expected. They did some nice drink specials for St. Patty's day and had decent Hawaiian two person band playing. Our waitress seemed a bit off when she told us the kitchen was concern about our dinner wait time. I asked why, she told me because they had to cook the chicken from raw to fully cooked...so you don't always cook fresh? It came great and fast, don't know what that was all about.

Jack W.

Me and the wife went for dinner and then the next morning for breakfast. LET ME TELL YOU IT WAS ONO! Bomb poke bowl (It melt in your mouth) , choke nachos, and ono drinks! We do not come down to town often but we wanted to hit up some spots we hear good things about. Well Lulu's was so damn good we decided to come back for breakfast. They cooked my Ahi just the way i do it at home, the poached eggs were perfect! My wife got the grecian omelet and the texture was amazing, beautiful colors, and prefect balance between tart and salty. The view is nice it your sitting on the rail, for being intown as well the prices are not as bad as one would think. Over all great service, great food, great prices whats not to love.

Ann B.

On our last day in Honolulu (*sniff*sniff*), we decided to have breakfast here. The dining area is one huge open floor with a variety of different-sized tables in the main center and bar-like seating along the perimeter, which has open views (no windows) overlooking the beach. Nice corner location! We were seated at the end of a long table that probably seated about 8-10 people on each side. Hubby settled on traditional-style pancakes with coconut syrup, kiddo got the stuffed French toast, and I ordered the spinach, tomato, and Monterey Jack omelette with potatoes plate. The pancakes were about what you'd expect for pancakes, I suppose. Hubby really liked his coconut syrup, but it was just good to me. The stuffed French toast was incredibly rich and very satisfying. The omelette was a good size and delicious. Coffee and water were served generously. The staff was friendly and courteous, and we had a couple of other people who were not our original waiter come by and offer refills for our drinks or ask if we needed anything else. If you don't like pigeons walking around freely in dining areas, this may not be the place for you! There are no windows, so pigeons (and other flying creatures - no dragons the day we went) are allowed to come in freely. I didn't mind them at all since I quite like pigeons, but I can understand how others can get turned off about it. In the cleanliness department, Lulu's could definitely use an upgrade here. The bathroom stall doors were icky, and the entire bathroom seemed dingy. Parts of the restaurant looked like it could use a facelift or a fresh coat of paint. All in all, a pleasant last-day breakfast experience. While the food was not to-die-for delicious, which lends the -1 star rating, it was very good. We would definitely go back again!

Jeff K.

Very casual, table sharing, fans and breeze from the ocean so it may get warm. Service is friendly, but it's busy so it was average. Food is good, drinks are good. Seats at counter looking at the ocean make for a nice time. Loco Moco was very good. Mojitos were good but LOTS of mint, needed a strainer. Would definitely go back.

Amy C.

Liked it here, as the view from the restaurant's edge was beautiful. Food was good too - I had the veggie scramble and hubby had the waffle with strawberries. The scramble was good, albeit a tad heavy on the cheese, even though I asked for "light." Potatoes were scrumptious. Waffle was super crispy and only came with one. Biggest qualm were the incessant birds flying through the windows, landing right next to us. I sat with my feet up on the chair the entire meal because the birds kept grazing for food underneath my dangling toes. Ew.

Jennifer E.

I am very pleased with this place. Excellent coffee. Very nice waitstaff. View of course is gorgeous. Here for breakfast. Had the stuffed French toast with pineapple lilokoi and Mac nuts. Delicious. Unique to Hawaii so have stuff you cannot get back home. Take out box came with utensils. How considerate! I will return for dinner.

Marien Y.

Went for happy hour. The drinks were watered down and simply tasted horrible. Also ordered the coconut shrimp which was okay at best, too much breading overpowering the shrimp. Maybe their dinner is better but I will not be returning

Rebecca S.

You know that pasty, gummy, heavy, bland, sticky taste of eating a soggy bowl of day-old newspaper? My friends, let me introduce you to Lulu's clam chowder. I seldom meet a soup I don't like, and I couldn't bring myself to choke this down on a recent visit to Lulu's. Maybe I could throw them a bone if it was the end of the day and the soup had been sitting on the line for 6 hours, but we went for lunch literally when they opened. Service was miserable too. We got seated at a high-top in the bar that wasn't clean and had like 8 jelly dispensers on it, which the hostess joked about and then left there. It took 10 mins for someone to notice us. In fact, we were about to leave when the waiter was like, "oh, hi." We already knew what we wanted and proceeded to order two salads and the cup of chowder. Before we even got our orders out, the waiter gave us a random forewarning that lunch would take a while because they were switching over from breakfast. Shouldn't they have this down by now? And what exactly is "a while?" The soup and salads were delivered by an expediter about 25 mins later and my boyfriend said his cobb was pretty sub-par. My maui wowie salad was just ok too. By now, we were in a rush to leave and had our credit card waving about, but our server was too busy watching basketball to close us out. Add another 10 mins. I used to like this chill, beachside place and thought the food and service were decent in the past (although always fairly slow), but I wouldn't going back after this last visit. It barely eked out two stars, and those are only for the atmosphere and beer.

Claire R.

My fiancé and I go here often. The view is fantastic. The food is decent (today we had delicious ahi poke which was big enough for a meal). They have really great live music sometimes. Some of the hostesses are unfriendly and it seems like they'd rather be anywhere else but at work. Their breakfasts are great. As are their coconut shrimp and calamari strips.

edward k.

This place is clearly for tourists. The food here combines Hawaiian classics with some American flair. Our family came here twice during our trip. The first time was for breakfast because we wanted something close by and decent. For breakfast, I had myself the loco moco with a side of portuguese sausage. The loco moco, was ok. The gravy was tasty but the burger patty wasn't really flavorful. On our last night here, we came back here because my parents were being difficult and I was fresh out of ideas and had no car. I had myself the Surf and Turf with a rice pilaf. The steak was cooked pretty good. I ordered it rare and it was the first time it came out not medium rare. My only complaint is the rice pilaf it came with. It was pretty much mexican style rice. Kind of dry and almost crunchy. If it wasn't for the perfectly done steak, I would've had a field day. The beauty of this place is that it has counter seats on the edge of the restaurant where you can enjoy food/drinks staring out at the beach front. Quite an amazing location and a few. I suggest coming here for some appetizers ore breakfast and sitting at the counter so you can take in the view.

Hannah V.

How do you mess up a chicken quesadilla?? Talk about total shite for flavor and quality. Not to mention, where was the chicken in my chicken quesadilla?

Cameron S.

My GF and I come here all the time. It's good food for reasonable prices and that's not always easy to say in waikiki. When we come on industry night, it's even cheaper!

Sally E.

We stop here after our gym session, still in our gym clothes. Hahaha...We were talking about how to celebrate our daughter's 25th birthday this weekend and what not. Ordered salad with prawns to share with hard cider, special on the menus today. They put them on separate plates so beautifully. Thanks to all the wonderful staff, especially Mahalo to 'Evan P' for treating us with beautiful leis. (We were wondering if you've over heard us?!) We usually go on an industry Monday, but it was such a great idea to go there just because. You guys are AWESOME!!!

Cassie E.

Michael was our waiter this morning. And he was FABULOUS! My dad, two uncles and I shared the banana pankcake and we also had our main breakfast. After we finished the waiter brought us new plates and syrup! He was just so awesome! Would defiantly recommend this place and waiter if you decide to come here or are looking for a really good and good priced meal!

Amanda D.

Spinach, feta, tomato omelette. English muffin and white rice. Great food, a little slow service, but they were busy during breakfast time. I'd go back again.

Paige L.

31 Yelps Review Challenge 16/31 What's not to love about this place? The food is delicious and they have plenty of vegetarian options. Prices are pretty good for the amount you get. Service is really friendly and contributes to the laid-back atmosphere of the place. Best of all, no cover and the drinks are strong!

William M.

If you're looking for cuisine, i.e. hoity-toity vittles, this ain't the place. If you're looking for American chow with a Haw'n twist, come here. Solid chow, lots of choices. The breakfasts are always good, and the coffee is very good. Service can be a bit dodgy, but this is Hawai'i and there's no need to rush. If there is, tell your server. Always busy, and a very good value. Enjoy!

Greg T.

This place is amazing? Gourmet level prep and great ingredients. Top notch service. Great drinks. Unbelievable reasonable price.

Dave B.

2nd day in a row visit.... slow slow bar service again on a weekend little crowd..no more

Louise P.

I had a nice breakfast here of papaya with a little lime juice and coffee. Our server was really nice and attentive and I didn't want for anything. There were two spots open at the ledge facing the ocean, but rather than squeeze in there, we took a big table in the naturally lit dining room. Only negative point was the bird who flew down right by our table and was having a feast on some nearby crumbs... street birds in Hawaii are still gross street birds, after all. I ended up meeting friends there a couple hours later. The server seemed to be purposefully ignoring us at times and rolled her silverware at the front while we sat there waiting for the check. The burgers were great for our hangovers though!

Jocelyn A.

This restaurant was recommended by a hotel receptionist, and it's actually pretty good! I got the magnum PI burger, it was so big I could only finish half. The atmosphere is chill, the view is amazing!!!! Service is ok, could be better but the food makes up for it. Overall delicious, 4 stars because of the service otherwise would have been 5.

Andrea P.

The only thing I can say is they need more people on shift for football Sunday. Our waitress was horrible, maybe because of the short staff. It would take up to 30 minutes to get our drinks so we would order a couple for each person at a time. Also, I asked for a menu 3 times before someone brought me one, who was also NOT my waitress who I asked. On another note, the food was amazing! I am sad I missed breakfast though because that is the top meal of the day here I have been told. The food came out hot and delicious. If you are coming down here wear light clothing because there is no air flow and gets seriously hot really quick.

Alecia B.

The food was rubbery and blandly flavored. The drinks were fine, the service was good. I wouldn't return to eat but it's an OK spot for a cocktail with some friends. All in all, it was a pretty typical tourist experience-- like a Hawaiian TGI Fridays's.

Trista S.

Ahi poke is AMAZING! Great fast & friendly service! I also had LuLu's Lava Flow to drink! There was a live band playing for entertainment! I highly recommend LuLu's!

ash r.

Great food and service. Try the corn beef hash and the ahi poke. Fun place to watch sports - lots of screens.

Britney L.

Spent a few hours at the high tables facing the beach. So relaxing, such great service! I only had the cheesecake but it was great! Thinking of heading back for breakfast in the morning.

Emily H.

I've been here a few times and the view is nice but the service needs help! We went the other day and the place was probably 1/3 full if that. We waited awhile for service and food. I know there were people at the bar who came in after us who ate and were done before we even got our food. Very irritating. The prices seemed OK for the area but I would not recommend this place to someone else or come back by choice.

Andy K.

Stopped in last night for hospitality night. I was with a few other crewmembers and we enjoyed a lovely meal. Our server unfortunately I can't remember his name was excellent. He was very attentive and always Johnny on the spot. I had the surf and turf which was delicious. The steak was perfectly cooked and the shrimp were the delicious. I would've gladly pay full price for this meal. However the 50% off for airline crews on Mondays made the deal so much sweeter. I will certainly be back anytime I park my jet on the 50. I only hope it's on a Monday :-)

Rick L.

Went on a Sunday to watch football. We ordered ahi poke which was the raw tuna on a bed of wonton chips. It was a 5* dish in my opinion. Loved the flavor of the ahi and the wonton, and both together was amazing. Ordered the Thai peach chicken wings. I'd give those a 2*. The wings were fine (they're wings after all) but didn't have much flavor. Should have gone for buffalo or spicy or whatever the other option was. Still with the food, our beers, friendly staff and consistent service, and a win by the Seahawks we left very happy. A waiter dumped a tray behind us, glass crashed, beer flew, the waiter kept on walking like "it wasn't me"... Nobody was injured or covered in beer. The staff was nice and offered us a free drink (if we could get it off the floor lol.... j/k). Very nice. Yes, parking at the zoo just down and across the street. So many screens throughout the bar there isn't a bad seat in the house! On top of it all, the location across the street from Waikiki provides a great view even from the bar. Will go back when on Oahu again.

Adrian B.

Good enough. But nothing extraordinarily special. It was part of the hotel where we were staying so we got it over and done with on the first day. We realized then the best thing is keeping walking up Kalakaua Avenue and eat at much more reasonably priced and better quality restaurants. I had the wings which were great. My wife had a salad which was also good. I wouldn't bother going back, unless I was lazy. But there is nothing wrong with the place. Just not awesome or anything - unless you are maybe 21 or something.

Eric F.

The food here was great! But the service was something to be desired. It took us about 10-15min just to get a water!!!! I will definitely be back, but maybe on a less-busy day.

Scott B.

Solid breakfast. We got to sit by the window looking towards the zoo, which was nice. My stuffed french toast was huuuuge & more like a dessert than a breakfast. The place felt a little dingy & dark when we were there. The pigeons roaming throughout certainly didn't add to the cleanliness...

Marissa W.

Just ate the pork nachos! So bomb! Big enough for two as a meal! Ordered the Maui wowie salad and that was alright. Wish I just ate Noah's nachos. Which is weird cause nachos aren't my thing. Service very friendly. Parking as expected,metered waikiki. But all in all everyone ate most of there food. Accept for a quesadilla. My gf said it had too much cheese. Is there such a thing? So she ate some of the ginormous tasty nachos and all is well! Can't wait to visit again. Makes me feel like I'm in 50 first dates. Love that movie!

Chris G.

My review is for breakfast. I would frequently go for a jog along the Waikiki beach front and stop here for breakfast. The view is awesome and the service is good. My server (Joe H) was a good dude with plenty of suggestions. I settled on the Waikiki omlet and a glass of OJ. For about $15, I was stuffed and enjoyed a PRICELESS view of the Waikiki Beach while people watching.

Keoni U.

I went here for breakfast with my family. The place was about 1/2 full. We were seated right away but our server took 15 minutes to take our order. My wife and I ordered the eggs benedict and my son got the pancakes from the kid menu. Our food didn't arrive til 35 minutes later. The eggs were overcooked and the hollandaise sauce was sour and nasty. The only thing that was good was the corn beef hash. My son's pancakes were hard to cut and not fluffy. What pisses me off is that another family that came after us got their food out and left before us. If this place was full it would probably take over an hour to get your food. This is probably the first and last time I'll be here.

Summer D.

Stopped in while walking along the beach. Like many places here it's very open, giving a connected feeling to the outside. (I love this) As for the service, there weren't any overtly rude issues but the hostess was very curt and we were ignored for quite some time, after being seated. The waiters were bustling to all the tables around us and no one greeted or acknowledged us. We were wondering if we were going to be served at all after awhile. Just as a side note, it was not busy at all at that time. We didn't have any more problems with service once our waiter made it to our table. As for the food, we tried the pork egg rolls and fish tacos. I personally loved the egg rolls but we both agreed the fish tacos left much to be desired. It did come with yummy salsa and once I drenched the taco with the salsa I did like it. Overall, nice atmosphere, ok service, and hit or miss for the food. Would come back but wouldn't make a trip just for this.

The Rau Ranch R.

Our go-to place for awesome food and great entertainment! Manoa DNA is a must-see band! Joe

Julia W.

Lulu's is right on the Waikiki 'strip' and overlooks the beach. It was a pretty popular location since they have several TV's which show NFL/football games on Sundays. Our meals were pretty fair in price for 'Waikiki' under $10 and I loved having spam/eggs and rice for breakfast. Our server was great and seated us near the TV's so we could watch the game. Overall, quick service and good food. I'd come again.

mong linh n.

decent food with a good ocean view. all i liked here was their pastrami... only ate here because it was attached to the aston waikiki hotel which is where we stayed.

Ann L.

Came here for drinks only we ordered a paradise punch, a shark bite and a kona longboard draft. Beer was not super cold. paradise punch and shark bite were very dissapointing, a little watery tasting. There was live music and lots of tv's, probably a great place to watch football.

Sarah S.

Great place to have lunch with the view of the ocean. I had the blt and coconut shrimp . Delish. My sister had their salad and chicken wings. Fast service and friendly staff.

Matt E.

We ate at Lulus twice; for breakfast and lunch. On both occasions the food was four star tasty, but the breakfast came out lukewarm for all four of us. The real downers started with the sour smells of stale beer as we entered -- think nasty frat basement -- on both visits. Clearly the floors hadn't been washed in eons. The waitstaff were attentive and quick to take orders, but the wait for food was unreasonably long. Staff seemed understaffed and overworked. The bathrooms were disgusting, and my daughter reported smells of vomit and dirty toilets. My experience wasn't much better. The place has a five star location and beautiful view of the beach and ocean. My guess is that Lulus rests on its laurels, but gets a decent pass because of its food, bar, and locale. Better attention to a deep clean and general service would do this place much better.

Tiffany S.

We come to lulu's several times every time we visit Oahu. Always Great food great service. Good drinks nice view. Good place to watch the game.

Yuko A.

This review is solely for Industry Night..... I can't believe its taken me almost a year to check out Industry Night - a 10 minute walk from work. Well anyway I finally did last Monday and damn, looks like I've been missing out. If you have a liquor commission card, cover ($10) is free and its 50% off drinks. Yes, $3 drinks....And I was happy to see that the bartenders didn't skimp in putting plenty of alcohol in the plastic cups (Make sure to go to the bar, and not the satellite bar - drinks are weaker there) The crowd mainly was made up of waiters/waitresses/bartenders, etc in the industry who live and work in Waikiki and are definitely from the mainland... Attire is super casual so don't make an effort and go looking cute in heels and a dress because you'll stick out like a sore thumb. People go in after work and I saw plenty of girls in shorts and a tank top. Music is nothing special but hey, as long as the $3 drinks keep coming, I'm happy. See you next Monday! YELP 365: 176/365

Dan M.

I was searching for a good breakfast place and happened upon some good Yelp reviews. OMG... the Stuffed French toast was more than enough to share for two... it had bananas, macadamia nuts, and pineapple and whipped cream and was quite good. They offered coconut or maple syrup, but you really didn't need any more sweetness to this creation. We also shared the Deuces Wild so we could try the eggs and bacon. We liked breakfast so much, we tried lunch later in our trip (it was standard/fresh sandwiches and burgers, but still quite good. Thanks Hawaiian Yelpers for turning me onto this place.

Vanessa N.

It's an ok place to get a quick eat but nothing fancy or unique about the menu. However, the view is spectacular during lunch. I enjoyed eating my loco moco with the view of the beach.

Raj G.

Great local but very poor service.

Todd S.

Probably my favorite breakfast spot in Waikiki. I'll jump on board the stuffed french toast bandwagon, and say its great. It's like eating dessert for breakfast but totally worth trying. ProTip: share it with someone, youll feel better about yourself afterwards. Also tried the standard eggs, sausage, and potatoes breakfast here, it didnt dissapoint. Lastly, the view and vibe here are awesome. You can just imagine the surfers carbing up here before hitting the surf across the street. This is definitely my go to spot for breakfast here now, Sadly, I never tried lunch or dinner here. It looks like a great place for Happy Hour.

Sean M.

During my vacation to Honolulu, this this the place I visited the most! Not only is it a great place to eat, relax and take in the views of Waikiki beach, but it's transformed into a rockin night club, after hours! The nachos "appetizer" is actually a meal for two. I had breakfast here a few times and was surprised at how good it was! I HAD to try their STUFFED FRENCH TOAST after seeing the many reviews of how good it was and mannn, was it good!!! Good thing I waited to try it during my last morning of vacation, cause I would have definitely had it again and again! It's that good! The pineapple-lilikoi marmalade isn't too sweet like I thought it might be and the Golden brown-grilled Pullman bread is simply perfect! The coconut syrup is to die for! It's a must try if you're at all enticed by a completely satisfying breakfast. The location of this place was a perfect middle point between the beach and my hotel. Also, I loved that there was a Starbucks, directly downstairs. I always had great service from the servers to the bartenders. The alcoholic beverages were made just right too. You MUST get here early for breakfast if you want an available chair at the "bar" which faces the open air. Unless you're willing to wait. I got lucky had had a place available there, every time I visited. Even when it was completely packed at night. I will definitely be back during my next vacation and will be sure to try more of their delicious foods. Enjoy this short video I too after a much satisfying breakfast: youtu.be/JrtgjmFj3Qs

Matt H.

Awesome food, location and drinks! Jenna is the best bartender there!!

Nicole J.

LuLu's came recommended by a local for a good place to watch a football game with great food and customer service. They did not disappoint! The Big Kahuna omelet was amazing!

Derek P.

Love this place, I go here every year and I love the view and the food, it's what I look forward to while on the plane ride over. Great food and atmosphere! Mahalo for reading :)

We went for the ahi poke but ended up staying for the pork nachos. The hubby and I both agree that these are probably the best nachos we have ever had before. If you hit up this place, you gotta get the pork nachos! Tons of tender and well seasoned pork + perfectly spicy salsa + guac = LOVE. Usually the problem with nachos is there isn't enough ingredients... LuLu's nachos don't have enough tortilla chips for all the tasty goodness on your plate! We've been here a few times on our travels and the food and service is consistently good. Add the great view of the beach and LuLu's is one of my favorite happy hour spots in Waikiki!

I hear Monday nights are pretty awesome for industry night... ...but if you're coming here for pupus and drinks on any other night, prepare to be a little disappointed. At first, I kind of expected a laid back, chill kind of place, where I can listen to Hawaiian music, look at the beach, and enjoy some good eatin's. There's the beach, and then that's about it with this place. We ordered the Chicken Nachos and Chicken Quesadilla. Or should I say...nachos. They forgot the chicken in it, yet we were still charged for it! Also, the nachos became a soggy mess and looked pretty bad after just a few minutes. The quesadilla wasn't bad, but it wasn't anything special neither. It was a little greasier than I would have liked it, but it got me full. After those two items, we didn't dare try anything else. Our server was pretty nice, but it was difficult to get her attention. Enough where we had to walk up to her and then ask her to help us when she wasn't busy. Not her fault, I think...but it took a while just to get the check. Overall, a pretty disappointing experience. For drinks, it's not a bad place, and I can forsee myself coming over on Monday nights. But any more than that, I'd might as well go elsewhere. 31 Yelps Review Challenge - October 2012 #13/31

Stopped in just to try the loco moco. It was ok. Really didn't care for the grilled onions on the rice. Had a great server, nothing wrong with the food or service. Probably has other good food. In terms of loco moco, just not above average. If I were in the area I would probably stop to try something else.

I think Lulu's is a great little spot to bring tourists visiting the islands, or also to just have a meal or drinks with friends. The breakfast foods are yummy (good coffee too) and it's nice to get a seat overlooking the beach and just have a laid-back people-watching kind of start to the day. The lunch foods are less exciting in my experience, but not bad and seem to be popular with tourists (especially those that might be less adventurous eaters). All in all it's a pretty chill restaurant with a nice view and laid-back atmosphere.

Stephanie S.

Came here twice on my recent trip to Waikiki and was pleasantly surprised both times. For breakfast my friend and I split an omlet, simple but very well done, and the stuffed French toast. The French toast was out of this world!! Highly recommend for a local treat. When I returned for lunch my friend got a salad which she said was fresh and hit the spot while I had the French dip and wasn't disappointed. Plenty of food for around 10 bucks a person, really couldn't ask for more. The gorgeous view of the ocean doesn't hurt either.

Rey L.

This was an ok place. It's across from the zoo and the beach. The tables overlooking everything are all single bar seats. Not very convenient for families. But, the view was pretty cool. Breakfast was pretty packed but seating was easy. The food was okay. Nothing spectacular. The homestyle potatoes/hashbrowns were a little burned. I had eggs and corn beef with rice. Mama had pancakes with bacon and eggs. The prices were okay. Not too bad. They have a pretty nice looking happy hour. Might come back to check it out next time we're in town.

Hideyo K.

Came here during Industry Night so we got a pretty good deal off the menu, but regardless, I was pretty amazed by the quality of the food. We were a group of five and we each ordered individual platters. I got the Slow Roasted Hawaiian-Style Prime Rib, medium rare. 10 ounces of meaty goodness. . . For steak lovers, this is a must! The meat was tender and spectacularly juicy. I could taste a hint of seasoning in every bite, but it was tamed well enough to preserve that wonderful meat flavor. Everyone else at my table wanted to try a piece and of course I shared, but deep down inside, my inner-carnivore was screaming "Nooooo!!" at the tragedy gluttony must endure in the face of kindness and sharing. A lapse in sanity might cause you to say, "who needs friends when you can eat this good?" I never took Lulu's as a steakhouse, but I'd definitely go back just for that hunk of meat. Per Dan C.'s recommendation, I also tried the Coconut Shrimp. With a coconut-crust and lilikoi-mango vinaigrette topping, the shrimp couldn't have been more tropical if they were dressed in mini-aloha shirts. It was a sweet and interesting mix of flavors, but at thirteen dollars a plate, I can see how it might be a bit of a gamble for some people. Personally I liked it, but I'm partial to saltier, garlicky or minimal flavoring when it comes to my sea food. It's a very touristy appetizer to say the least. My Lulu's experience would have been much better had it not been for the long wait, but I suppose I can't blame them for being so crowded at dinner time. I can't say I enjoyed the atmosphere either, though. . . When this place is packed, it's extremely loud and very high-school cafeteria-like. I can't relax in this place because it's so noisy and usually full of rowdy college kids. The ocean-view location is about the only thing I like about the joint, but the prompt and attentive service makes up for the deafening racket, which makes you just wanna eat and get the heck out of there. Late at night, this place becomes more geared towards entertainment. They have their Tuesday open mic nights from 10pm, and live performances on the weekends. Do check out their events calendar for fun times: luluswaikiki.com/events.… Graduating HPU students get live music and drink specials!!

Lala H.

Be sure to sit at the rail so you can enjoy the view; one of the best views on Waikiki. Can get pretty crowded for happy hour, so come early and grab a seat at the rail. Great loco moco!

Asha S.

Nice view of the ocean, located at the end of Waikiki. Staff was friendly and helpful. Food.... That's where the low score comes in. We went for breakfast and were thoroughly disappointed. The coffee was the worst coffee we have ever had. Even four sugars and three mini creams didn't help the "taste". Our food items were ok, nothing noteworthy but basic and lacking much flavor. I will say the price is cheap and reasonable but I wouldn't go back based on our experience!

Michelle J.

The BEST nachos I've ever had!! Seriously, it was suggested we order the nachos and they were SO good I never even got to my meal!!! I'm giving this four stars rather than five because the service is extremely lax, but than what would you expect from surfer dudes!

R M.

I went to LuLus yesterday for a late snack after my husband and I brought our Son to the zoo. It is a very touristy area, what can you expect it's Waikiki? It was crowded and noisy at around 3PM with late lunch goers filling the tables. My husband and I decided to share the nachos and it was good to fill the both of us, but I didn't like that the chips tasted like they weren't fresh. $4.00 on certain drinks for Happy Hour 3PM-5PM which is nice. What I didn't like were the other patrons yelling, screaming, and clapping at the bar area "YEAH! WHOO!" We were seated close to the bar and I was afraid my son would get irritated by all that noise. I would of asked for a different table, but it was very crowded. Also, my son wasn't irritated after all. Whenever the other customers screamed and rooted for their favorite NCAA basketball team; my son clapped and smiled LOL. For the price and taste of the food, LuLu's is okay. Would I go back there? Probably not. I like to steer away from the noisy and big crowds.

Jami P.

It's a good spot to people watch if you sit along the "rail." Warning though, wear your sunglasses or you'll be blinded. Don't sit there if you have more than two or three people though or else you won't be able to converse. I prefer the high tops in the "bar area." Wednesday nights they have live music and all their "craft bottle bears" are half price. Service was pleasant and expedient. The meals, while some appear to be a little high priced, are good portions. And they have 2 happy hours a day, what's not to like! :) Their bar menu specials are outdated, I've found going to the website provides the best updated event/specials, or you could just ask your waitress. Bathrooms are super clean!

Jennifer N.

Delicious breakfast food! Plus for Waikiki it was pretty affordable. I had the french toast with a side of scrambled eggs - SO GOOD!! My husband had the stuffed french toast and ate the entire thing (it was giant, this is a big feat) so that was great as well! Definitely recommend for your breakfast needs in Waikiki.

Irene Y.

A breakfast-must in Waikiki. Ignore all the touristy places with long lines and come here instead! This cafe is tucked awak right next to the beach, on the second floor of a shopping center, commanding a fantastic view of the ocean! We came here towards the end of our stay in Oahu, and I regretted not finding this place sooner. At 8:30 on a weekday there was no line and we got choice seats facing the beach. We both got coffee which was pretty good, and they gave us an entire pitcher to help ourselves to. We shared an egg-white tofu scramble and and the pineapple stuffed french toast. Such a good breakfast!! I think cost came out to about $30 with tax and tip for the two of us, not bad at all. Would definitely come back again.

Karen C.

This place has a great happy hour. From 3 to 5 you can get super strong $4 mai tai's along with other tropical drinks, beer, and wine. Grab a seat looking right at the ocean and have some cheap strong drinks. I had the spinach dip which was served with chips and garlic bread. Super yum!! Great value for happy hour!

Claudia C.

Lulus - yum yum. Cali wine, Deschuttes beer, Hawaiian shrimp, New England clam chowder and a Cobb salad. Plus a very sweet waitress from Mexico City whose name is Leticia. Every Leticia I know has a great personality! The managers - Michael and Nick - were amazing. They really care about the ambiance and exprience their patrons have. You can go to chain restaurants (even the nice ones) anywhere USA (and I do) but in Waikiki -- experience where the locals go and where service and experience is why they exist. Thank you Michael, Nick Priooletti and Leticia. We will come back -- it is too amazing to only experience Lulu's once. I wouldn't go on Monday's though as that's when Lulus hosts other restaurant workers for half price - great idea and great karma but probably not the best night for dining. Lulu's serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner and has a beautiful view of the ocean without the pricey beachfront bar cocktail prices.

Mandy C.

I came here for breakfast, and knowing how big American-style breakfast are, I ordered a bunch to share family-style. So...I got to triy the Stuffed French Toast, Big Kahuna Omelette, Black & Blue Benedict, and a fresh Island Papaya. The Stuffed French Toast was my favorite!! It's like a lightly toatsed and egg washed sandwich with pineapple-lilikoi marmalade, banana and macadamia nuts in the middle. It's not super sweet, and it's delicious and filling! I also like the Black & Blue Benedict, which has ahi tuna in it. It wasn't fishy at all, and it goes very well with the poached egg. The Big Kahuna Omelette was just okay, the pork was way too smokey, all I tasted was char. They were super busy but the service was still great. Water was filled, and our waitress often stopped by to check on us.

Melissa L.

We went for breakfast. The view was great, the food was great. I would recommend this for a good brunch with great Hawaiian atmosphere.

Maureen B.

Terrible food, overpriced. Pigeons trolling on the floor. View is great. I would only recommend this place for drinks, without kids. Otherwise, it was gross. My husband had the loco moco, very disappointing. I had the shrimp salad. It was meh.

Kenneth C.

The view here is good, the staff is nice enough but they lied to us about the seating. I don't know how you get to sit by the window. The food is just OK. The orange juice taste like water. Just another tourist trap that relies on there location.

Michelle M.

I love this place! My husband and I come here for breakfast whenever we are in Oahu! We always get the corned beef hash ( one of the best I've ever had) and the stuffed french toast ( THA BOMB!!!). I loved the stuffed french toast so much that I've recreated my own version at home :p You can't beat the view or the food! I would of given 5 stars but the last time I went, one of my poached eggs was overcooked... Not a big deal though, I still love the food.

Johnny C.

Bomb. Best food when you are hammered after a booze cruise. I love the wings, nachos, artichoke dip, steak bites and I swear they have the best loco moco in the world!

Deb C.

5/9/14 9:21 pm: after being seated by hostess, sat at table for 15 minutes without being waited on. So we left, on the way out, told the hostess, who sat us at the table and gave us waters and told us that our waitress would be with us, that we were leaving because no one waited on us. She had the nerve to ask whether we seated ourselves. I told her no that we did not and that she sat us. Why can't I give zero stars?? Oh and by the way it wasn't very busy for Friday night and they were plenty of servers milling about talking with each other rather than waiting on customers.

Stephen F.

Not great...not horrible. The girl who seated us wasn't friendly at all. We asked to be seated close to the open windows (where there was open seats), but instead she tossed the menus down on a table in the middle of the room and walked off. I didn't ask you to wash my feet! I just wanted to sit near the fresh air! Anyway...another thing I didn't like was the community seating. I do not wish to share dinner conversation with the family from Dayton, I just want to eat and have a few drinks in peace. The waitress that actually took and delivered our food was friendly and the food was decent.

Jessica T.

A large group of Hawaiian men verbally threatened our lives several times and was not punished at all from the security at the establishment or the Honolulu Police Department, instead WE were asked to leave. We do not know what kind of biased terms or inadequate policies this establishment runs, but we do know that it is not fair, is shameful, and does require improvement. If you are not local, or do not have connections, I would highly suggest not going here and/or being very careful who you speak to.

Michelle T.

Can I just start this off by saying: THE HECK WHY IS A DRINK $4?! Food: 2 stars Grecian Omelette: this omelette consists of spinach, tomato, and feta and on the side of country potato and toast. It was okay. Wasn't wowed, but it did its job as food, it filled me up. Didn't taste orgasmically, it was on the bland side had to add my own salt/pepper and asked for ketchup to add more taste to it too. Maybe it was my fault for ordering a dish without a salty meat in it to flavor it up... Service: 4 stars Alright. My server was pretty on it. Kept checking on me frequently and was pretty nice. Didn't rush me in anyway. No complaints. The biggest highlight about eating here is that it had open walls so you could see the beach and feel the breeze. I had a direct upfront (literally upfront) view of the beach and watch the waves crash while I waited for my food.

James N.

Nachos were enormous, fajitas were great. Drinks were great. Cafeteria style seating. Noisy, poor service. I would go during the daynext time.

Diana B.

Started calling around 5 pm for dinner reservations on Sat night- everything booked. Staying at the Marriott, so LuLu's super close walk..decided to try. Awesome surprise- great atmosphere, live music, service, and incredible food! I had the mac nut mahi mahi, hubby had prime rib- both dishes very flavorful, ample portions. Will def go back!

Lena M.

Nothing too special about this place. It's a typical bar and grill. It is also extremely loud. Went there for pupu's and drink around 6:30.

Vicky H.

Arriving to Hawaii was amazing! The people, the weather, and the beach. However, we were forgetting something..and that is the food! Our first destination besides the endless encounters of the "ABC" Stores was Lulu's. The waitresses were really friendly and very down to earth. This is the spot to come and eat lunch in the afternoon, I recommend getting the burgers because they are ono(delicious). The food came out pretty quick. I wouldn't order the pastas because it tastes like any other pasta dishes you can order any where else. But I must say, the appetizers are killer! My family and I really enjoyed Kalua Pork Spring Rolls they had. ~ Pricing was reasonable and the view was pretty.

Russ J.

I only have good things to say about LuLu's. I like the food, atmosphere, fruity cocktails, and beer selection. I've been for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and drinks and have never been disappointed. I think I've tried everything on the menu and their poke bowl with avocado is the single best item - unrivaled on Oahu! My other favorites are the Loco Moco for breakfast (with a bloody mary) and the Pork Nachos. The service has been great and everyone is very friendly. LuLu's does a great job of feeling like a local's spot - hard to do in Waikiki where everyone is a tourist. People are always coming and going with their surfboards, and the shuffleboard table is fun and not too crowded.

Gemma E.

For our last meal in Hawaii - my friends and I decided to stop by Lulu's near Waikiki Pier. For a breakfast bar - the atmosphere was casual and laid back. Although I wish we sat near the outside bar - we ended up sitting in the middle of Lulu's - the view of the outside bar looked amazing! With a view of Waikiki beach right at your fingertips, can't complain there. Our server was Michael - he was very attentive and clear spoken. I ordered the Garden Isle Scramble (egg whites, spinach, tomatoes, basil, mushrooms, bell peppers, onions, and grilled tofu). My friends had the Classic French Toast and the Strawberry Pancakes with a side of home-style potatoes. The Garden Isle Scramble was tasteful - the mix was colorful and tasteful. It came with corned beef on top of the homestyle potatoes which was an odd mixture but for the most part edible. Although I expected more flavor since there was a lot of seasoning on the potatoes (especially mixed in with the corned beef). The prices were inexpensive compared to eating at regular dining places such as Denny's or IHOP - which was surprising but nothing to complain about :) The service was good, the price was inexpensive and the beach is right in front of you - no complaints here!

Jen H.

Lulu's is a place to be on Mondays! The locals were saying on certain days there are only certain spots that are happening and this is one of two. The place is located south of the main strip and on the second floor. The bar is spacious, but be warn...it's EXTREMELY stuffy inside. I felt the heat just outside the door when I was getting my ID checked. The crowd here seems to be filled with college crowd and folks under 25. There is no cover charge here and the DJ was playing hip-hop and techno. This place had a good crowd, but it's too crowded for my taste. If you want to meet some hot surfers, this is the place to be on Mondays! Have fun!

Frank F.

Breakfast of the gods, man! Stuffed french toast? Good golly miss molly! Waikikian omelet with house made corned beef hash? OMG. Banana pancakes? Flabbergasted. Spam with two eggs any style? AlooooooooHA. And a side of kalua pork? Sign me up, I'm a fan. Freaking salty and juicy and awesome. The corned beef hash was made from fried slices and chips of corned beef, pan-fried with chunks of potato and big slices of onion. This was NOT the stuff you get in a can! We opened the place at 7am (jet lag from NYC, dude!). By the time we left 45 minutes later, it was crowded. Under a roof, but open to the air, on the 2nd floor overlooking Waikiki beach. Totally Hawaiian surfer kitsch decor. Big Annette Funicello beach movie posters, surfboards, and lamps made from dried pufferfish. Varnished wood everywhere. TVs over the bar with ESPN. Too calculated to be a true surfer dive bar, but it screams "nightlife" in a good way. While the breakfast scene was big and hearty, we suspect the dinner and cocktail scene will be even better...and we plan to go back tonight to find out.

Miguel C.

We went in for dinner and got out into a really out if the way table an asked to be moved, we were told even if we waited there was nothing that could be done. Fine. We waited 20 min before our server came. After that she was great, the food was mediocre.

Sarah W.

Awesome vibe, good service, amazing food! I recommend the poke bowl.. Hands down, best around! Their loco moco is also awesome if you go for breakfast. Also, make sure to get the super nachos with Kalua pig...sooo good! Great place to watch the sunset! If I lived here I'd be a regular.

Gary H.

We love this place! Usually sit on the rail overlooking "the wall" at Waikiki Beach at sunset. Thursday nights are our favorite. Sam Adams, Kalua nachos and Local Uprising! Great service! Mahalo Maggie S!

Sara S.

Was looking for a local place to eat breakfast and came across this location on Yelp and thought I definitely need to try. They have a great view / bar type tables that overlook the ocean. Very wonderful and def recommend sitting there. I ordered the Stuffed French Toast and fresh pineapple juice. It was delicious and the coconut syrup pared up nicely with it. Not too sweet! Staff/service was great. Would definitely recommend if you are in area.

Eduardo R.

This place wears many hats. It's a chill bar one night, a crazy dance club another and serves awesome food for breakfast, lunch and dinner. It is an open air venue that get an awesome ocean breeze with a spectacular view! I ate here on 5 different occasions and had drinks 4 other times. My favorite things were the nachos which could easily feed more than 3 people. Other notable items are the eggs benedict, french toast, and the loco moco. Their coffee is nice and strong with a full flavor. Don't let the tropical sports bar feel fool you... this place is awesome!!!

Stu S.

Once upon a time LuLu's was actually the best Denny's in the world, partly because the location is on the 2nd floor above the uber busy Starbuck's at Kalakaua and Kapahulu on Waikiki looking out on the beach, Zoo and Kapiolani Park and Diamond Head. People the world over seemed comfortable with Denny's occupying one of the most beautiful and heavily passed by corners on Oahu, and LuLu's came along and must be paying a King's Ransom for the location and exposure. It's kind of like a Mutt dog, a sports bar, a live music joint, a singles bar, a late night diner and a place thousands come to to use the facilities. I'm here today for probably my 20th visit over the years and I'm going to focus on only the burger because I just wouldn't be coming here if it wasn't for my friends because it's noisy and the service is ala sports bar which means to me that on a good day you will get your food before you die. They offer an ambitious diner type menu and almost all their reviews tout or at least talk about breakfast or booze, and everyone of them mentions the NOISE. Service came out way and I ordered a cheeseburger with fries and felt safe and secure. Not long after out if came and it looked pretty good, a generous (half pound at least) burger patty with cheese melted on an open face toasted sweet burger bun, with some wilted fixings and a big handful of fries that were unfortunately cold by the time I tried one. The burger was suffering an evening chill too, but I put it together after spreading a little mustard and mayo and took my first chomp and the downhill slide started. The bun wasn't designed to contain all the juices, condiments and moisture from the fixings and first fell into pieces, then a mush type mess. The meat was good, and well cooked, but they served it and seem not to have a clue that balance in everything is important, and with a burger balance is critical. The bun has to hold the juices, condiments and moisture or you've got a disaster. In N Out gets away with a messy burger because they wrap it like a baby in diapers, but here at LuLu's you're going to face a dripping, squishing mess, and that's a shame.

Matthew F.

First thing I do when I come to Waikiki is, go to Lulu's and get an order of kalua pork nachos and a Maui Big Swell IPA. Portions here are big. I've experienced a meal here at all times: breakfast, lunch, dinner, and late night drunk munchies. I have left here disappointed. Prices are more than reasonable. Great view of the beach. Only downside is the group of disrespectful bums that hangout downstairs on the street . Must haves if you've never been: Kalua pork nachos and Loco Moco(eggs over easy or sunny side up)

Ro C.

Tried this place after checking reviews. Ordered garlic crusted Ahi tuna. Meal arrived and tuna filet was very fibrous. Needed to be cut with sharp knife and left behind strings of fiber that made it look like a tiny mop on a plate. Could not eat it and asked the waitress (very nice) to check with the kitchen about it. She took plate and returned it saying kitchen would not replace. She did take meal off tab but I left hungry. Husband's meal was edible but he said it was tasteless and arrived cold. Tourists are rarely repeat business and they do business accordingly.

Kris L.

UM how can you NOT love slow roasted kahlua pork?? AMAZING in an omelet. Absolutely loved it. Licked the plate. Will be back. Otherwise, the view from the bar was fantastic [could see the beach], there was no wait to be seated, and my server was da bomb.com . What more can you ask for?

AustinSLin ..

Right across from the beaches off Kalakaua Ave--keep an eye out for the LuLu's Waikiki sign as it doesn't quite jump out at you--follow the signs and head upstairs. Upstairs, competing with the hotel-intertwined brunch spots on the Waikiki beach front, Lulu's on the second floor is as good and convenient site as any to grab breakfast or brunch. Bar by night brunch phenom by day, LuLu's is a nice place to grab a breakfast on the go. If it's just a few of you, try to grab one of the rail seats looking out onto the Waikiki Beaches and watch the beach edge in and out while you devour your brunch. The Stuffed French Toast, as advised by other Yelpers, is rich--just as satisfying without the dollop of whipped cream as with so you can focus on the cream cheese stuffed bread and banana slices. A side of kalua pork is tender for the traditional smoked pork--the same as high quality smoked pork on other parts of the US (and just as similar, minus the true fumblings of an underground oven---at least if you want a juicy side in time for breakfast anyway). Lulu's has great service that allows you to make a quick in, quick out, so you can focus on being decisive on which of the numerous places to hit up after breakfast. The stuffed French Toast is ~$10, coffee is! $3. The side of kalua pork is !$4.

Marchessa D.

Came here for breakfast and sat facing the beach. I had 2 over-medium eggs cooked perfectly and cornbeef hash, which was delicious. Bf and I also split the stuffed french toast. Best stuffed french toast EVER! It was stuffed with a creamy, custardy filling that was soooo good. Service was fast and friendly as well. I will definitely be coming back here on my next trip to the island.

Terrence M.

Nothing special about this place except its location! All three of our meals in our party of three were unremarkable and could have passed for middle of the road bar food at Anybar USA. The service also lagged, but it's a busy place (location!) and the slow response from our server was a bit understandable. Great place for watching sports and having a beer at the bar, but with so many food and drink options in Waikiki, LuLu's really isn't worth the trouble.

Michael K.

The TV's around the restaurant are pretty ghetto.. but there are a lot of them and they also have cute waitresses here. :) When we went to go watch the NBA playoff game, this blond waitress came to serve us and she was super nice and cute! She turned up the volume for us on the TV since we were sort of in the corner, and gave me happy hour prices on two drinks that I ordered which were actually not at a happy hour price (their menu was confusing). Andddddd they have really overpriced food. $17 for nachos? WTF!? Obviously we didn't order food.

Steve W.

Good breakfast , sunday morning 10 o'clock no line , I had eggs Benedict better than I was expecting, definitely come back !

Veronica L.

I came here to celebrate a friend's birthday. This was my first time and to be honest, I never even knew it was here! I come to this part of the island quite often and never noticed it. Parking was very convenient as the Honolulu Zoo parking lot was right across the street. Parking at that time was only $1 per hour. The establishment itself was very loud - there was a "live" band there that night. Even without the band playing, I still felt like I needed to yell to be able to communicate with the others at my table. It was very open so you could see out to the beach and feel the breeze. The bar and restaurant had numerous flat-panel TVs tuned to sports (of course). The waitress was very friendly and the food was pretty good. I ordered the Maryland Mahi which consisted of mahi stuffed with Maryland blue crab topped with lemon-caper butter sauce. Our table shared the spinach and artichoke dip and many more but this one was the only one I tasted. It was very good and very feta-parmesan cheesy. My overall food experience was very tasty and I wouldn't mind going back again. I also ordered a Lava Flow which was of course delicious. What really ended the night on a good note was that although our party was about 12 or so people and our bills included gratuity because of this, our waitress told us we didn't have to pay the gratuity if we didn't want to. Needless to say, I went ahead and paid it ;)

Rob H.

Dinner and drinks several times during our stay. We thought the food was very decent for the price. The prime rib was "YummY". We where the also for the NCAA and met some very friendly locals. They said this is the place for Sunday NFL Football. Staff was very friendly and professional. Steak teriyaki appetizer was excellent.

Stefan G.

Waikiki has a lot of fairly expensive, touristy places. There are only a few bar type places that I know if. Lulu's is one of them. I really enjoyed the open air setup (as a lot of places in Hawaii are). They have live music sometimes. Drinks, of course, are delicious, and the food is decent too. During peak season, it does get a bit packed, and service slows down....but it's peak season...in Hawaii....so that's to be expected. Prices are reasonable for Waikiki. If you want a good place to unwind a bit. Definitely take a stop here!

Robert C.

Great happy hour, cheap Mai tai which was pretty good. Volcano fries were awesome! We got them as a side (not on the menu) which was perfect between meals. Will definitely come back next time we are on the zoo side

Morgan G.

Really good place for a homey bfast or lunch. Breakfast until 11, lunch until 5. My friends and I spent many a meals here due to its convenience and low prices. Right on the water too!

Eric A.

This place has a great view if you can find a seat along the edge of the restaurant. I kept my eyes on a couple and when they finished, I told my waiter we wanted to move to those seats. The food was pretty good. The service was great. The only thing was that the drinks were not strong. I had a rum and coke and it was mostly coke.

Claire M.

We ate breakfast here on our first morning in Honolulu. I'd heard about it beforehand and I'm so glad we stuck to our plan of eating here because once we got to Hawaii, a lot of the planning/itinerary-making I'd done had gone the way of the wind. It was like a block away from our hotel and I'm usually really good at direction but it took awhile for us to find the place, totally based on our own stupidity. Either that or directions for the Yelp phone app really suck! It kept telling me to go to Lemon street or something which was the next street in from the ocean (maybe it got confused because it's on an upper level?). I did better off on my own and we eventually did find it, it was kind of tucked away on the second floor and my glasses suck so that was kind of an adventure. We were seated at a long counter-style table that overlooked the beach and the ocean with a gorgeous view of Diamond Head to our left. How can you beat that??? They served our orange juice in a glass that had a flower tucked in it! Maybe it was an orchid, I don't know, I suck at flower identification. It was white and purple and had petals. That's as good as I get. I got the Pre-Surf breakfast and my dining partner got the Waikikian. Both delicious. Our waiter was also very nice. Probably some dude that transplanted over from "the mainland" looking for paradise and was livin' the dream working a couple jobs, one as a waiter here at Lulu's. I've been in that position, I can empathisize. Hell, I kind of want to move to Hawaii now too. Start over, stay far, far away from the family. Ahhh... All I could think about while I was there was wow, this food is really good and I can't believe I'm here! HIGHLY recommended. I can't wait to go back.

Great view to have a meal. Too bad their food is unworthy of the great view. This place should be on Bar Rescue. Tables are sticky, the smell of mildewy feet around you; just made me not want to touch anything. The food was a joke. No one on our table even ate half of what they had on their plate. It was unappetizing, our waiter didn't even notice, oh wait, he didn't even come by to ask us how was our meal. As we walked out, the manager and a hostess just stood by the door and didn't even thank us or say goodbye. Bad service and bad management. Sorry LuLu's you get one star!

Had dinner and breakfast here on our recent trip to Honolulu. We were staying at Park Shore Waikiki, so this place was convienient. Dinner was yummy, and my mai tai was strong. Had the eggs bene (but scrambled) for breakfast and it was DELISH. I also liked the band playing when we went in the evening. I will go here again if I am ever in the area.

Andrew G.

Awsome place, always go here for some food and drinks after a day of surfing. Staffs cool and it's pretty awsome when they have a live local band playing. You can see the water while your eating and the wait usually isent bad.

Ed V.

Have eaten here several times and always enjoyed the food. I had the combo fajitas which are great! They use ribeye and chicken breast for them which makes them so special! I have also enjoyed the Magnum PI Burger which is a meal by itself. Not impressed with their drinks which seem watered down. The service was disappointing as one of the young ladies who greeted us was rather rude. I chalked it up to her having a bad day and let it go at that. Overall a good place to have some food but drink somewhere else.

Rachel C.

Black and Blue Benedict is amazing, its a great breakfast place that I have to go to at least once when I'm in town!

Nina B.

What a great view of the ocean! Even though it's in the heart of tourist central in Oahu, my two local friends took me here, because they knew the happy hour drinks were very affordable. They make some great Mai Tais, and their Ahi Poke was pretty good, too. I liked the fact that the waitress was very honest about how fresh the Poke was. When we asked whether it was caught that day, they said, probably not, since she didn't see any come in. So, we took our chances, and felt pretty good after eating it. Very tasty, even if the sashimi is a day old. :-)

James L.

Super good breakfasts! Creative combinations, very attentive staff. Reasonable prices for Waikiki. This is a winner, seems to have a mix of locals and tourists. Great ocean view, too. I'd go again (and again).

therese m.

WORST SERVICE EVER!!! Our waitress (Maggie) never came back and we had to track her down to get the bill.

Brian Y.

Good view/atmosphere, got one of the burgers (forgot the name) fresh guac. etc. but the patty was a little odd. Fresh beef patty or chicken breast would have made it excellent.

Ruth C.

We decided to grab a late breakfast here (wooed in by a buy one/get one half off coupon) on our last half day before heading home. Highly recommend this place for a basic breakfast. We didn't try any of the fancy pancakes or omelettes - just the more basic stuff. Good food and attentive service. As an added bonus, we sat at a back counter and enjoyed an amazing view of the beach.

Mike M.

Decent food. Nothing to write home about and not inexpensive. My recommendation, pass this one and go to a traditional Hawaiian restaurant.

Mark J.

I come here at the end of a work day to relax and see the sunset, beautiful view. I love the Maui Wowie salad, I've had it a couple times now. drink some beers, watch the surfing channel. Can't say what it's like a little later in the evenings as I have seen musicians setting up and the staff all look island hip lol. I enjoy coming here.

Kai R.

This place fits the typical "better view = marginal food & service" model. It is right across from the beach and offers nice views, but the fun ends there. We went for lunch and the service was REALLY slow (place was not full at all). The food quality was average at best / nothing to write home about.

Jonah E.

Good drinks and no cover how can you go wrong? It was a little packed but a good atmosphere. It's a good place if you like a chill place to go and listen to live music.

Jack L.

We stayed right around the corner during our vacation, so lu lu's was very convenient. And the food is good enough we actually came 3 times, once for breakfast, once for lunch, and once just for drinks. Their eggs ahi benedict is very good, and their fish tacos are surprisingly delicious with the mango salsa. Oh and they had the best arnold palmer i've ever tasted! Doesnt hurt that you can get a ocean view, and the price is right too.

Ninja S.

A nice stop to have a drink on the rail and watch the beach. The drinks are made of powerful well-drink paint thinner, so be like me and get a blue hawaii as pineapple juice can tame the fiercest of bad alcohols. By the same token, the mai-tai will burn off half of your face upon the first sip. Eating not recommended. Just have a drink and re-hydrate for a bit.

Michael K.

We were told at the hotel that lu lu's was like Denny's so we did not go. on the third day we decided to give it a chance. it is nothing like Denny's. friendly service. good portions. good selection. tourist prices is my only complaint. nothing is cheap on Waikiki.

Nissa G.

Decent food, live music, good atmosphere. Do the nachos (huge) and the caprese salad, yum!

Andrew S.

Great place for a sunset drink. Nice staff and they have a suffleboard table so we we spent some extra time here. Can't comment on the food but Friday nights primo lager 3$ is a fantastic deal!!

Sara W.

Lulu's is a casual indoor/outdoor divey restaurant bar. The food is what you would expect...greasy, a bit sloppy, but also on the cheap side for Waikiki. Overall a decent place to have breakfast while looking out on the ocean.

Jason P.

Mag PI Burger on point

lori l.

Enjoyed lunch at Lulu's this week while attending a conference at the Marriott. The service was attentive and quick, which we needed on a lunch break. I ordered the "Han's" ahi melt. It came with a sizable piece of ahi which was indeed pleasantly rare as it stated. The portions are large and a good value for Waikiki. You can't beat the view and breezes. A good stop for lunch with a large choice of appetizer and lunch items.

Brandon B.

Pretty chill place. Good food and live music.

sherrie n.

i love the atmosphere of this place! it's awesome because they play surf videos on the tvs, have lots of tables for groups to gather, and they keep the drinks coming. plus their nachos are amazing and loaded with stuff. the main reason i love this place is because i had the pleasure of seeing the Deadbeats perform. They are a ska hip hop band with an amazing sound and funky lyrics, and they're from Houston! awesome guys all around, but i particularly love the sax sound and the lead singer is really fun to watch. i believe we caught them on a friday night around 10:30. try to see them if you can! it'll be a dance party for sure!

Oskar R.

Great place for live music and to just hang around. if you are looking for great atmosphere and plenty of locals with cool, relaxed attitudes this is the place. You can't beat the view and the bartenders/ staff kick ass! Super friendly and cool!

Wayo Y.

I forget what the crazy french toast with coconut is called, but this is what you want for breakfast. Not particularly expensive, either.

Edwin M.

Came in for breakfast one day and I got seated along the balcony. awesome views of the ocean! I got the stuff French toast and a side of corn beef hash so good! If you come here you have to get the stuffed French toast.

Jenn B.

Good hot wings (not breaded, and Thai heat). The fresh catch when I went was swordfish, and turned out to be some of the best fish I'd had on our week long trip in the Hawaiian islands of Maui and Oahu. Breakfast looked out of this world, but it ends at 11. So, roll outta bed and go to Lulu's instead of your hotel's continental breakfast.

Veteran B.

My review is strictly based on breakfast. I haven't been to LuLu's any other time. Everything about LuLu's is average (including the food) except the cool views of Waikiki Beach. I will only come here again when family comes in.... the views are that cool... other than that... no dice.

Linda B.

I was at Waikiki Beach for a wedding, over what was basically a long weekend. We did not have much time to explore restaurants and thankfully we found this gem a few blocks away from the Marriott. Lulu's became our favorite spot for breakfast, lunch and late night snacks. The staff is outstanding- friendly, helpful and seem genuinely happy. If there was anything we needed, they were pleasantly responsive to our requests. The restaurant itself is open and airy, with a great view of the beach. The food offerings are diverse, always fresh, with many of the items geared toward healthy choices. The prices were surprisingly reasonable for the quality of the service and food. I wish they would open a place here in NJ! Thanks Lulu's for making our stay a lot easier and more enjoyable. Great job!!

Maddie O.

How great is this place, came here for breakfast with my sisters the other day and it was the bomb. You have a view of the waikiki beach and hella of a good hawaiian style breakfast. If only i could bring this place home. Anyways 5 stars for an awesome waitress, nice view, and delicious filling breakfast to start the day.

Stephanie F.

Tried the loco moco breakfast. So good!!!! Great service and good prices.

Glaiza B.

Came here for a light dinner with my husband. Our first time in Waikiki. The location was great considering that our hotel was just right there. We looked at the menu online and gave it a go. We walked in to a loud scene (they had a live duo act, and they were pretty good), we waited a little bit and was seated 10 minutes later. We ordered with our first waitress... Our food came about 15 minutes later brought by a different server. We also asked if we culd get a straw and the waitress immediately said okay. We waited and waited and still nothing came. I mean we get it it's busy, but they are in the food industry... And customer service. Then our original waitress was M.I.A for 20 minutes just as we had finished our food. She then asked if she could get us anything else, and by this time my husband and I just looked at each other and was ready to leave we totally felt unwanted here. Our check was brought to us by yet another waitress. Hmmm ... Whatevers... Im guessing one gets better treatment when alcoholic beverages are ordered. Oh well. Not coming here again. Thank goodness they're food wasn't that great.

Ikaika T.

"Yeah, I'll have the burger without the roach wings, thanks... (and yes, they're roach wings, you dumb waitress)." Enough said...

Wayne L.

I woke up this morning in the Marriott after spending all day yesterday in an airplane not eating any normal meals. I walked in and got a seat looking out towards the ocean. Everything was excellent, had the stuffed french toast which was excellent and a side of kahlua pork. Great start to my visit.

Denise N.

Seems like a good place to come for lunch and to people watch! We had dinner but decided on a few appetizers as our meals- chicken nachos, kalua pig quesadilla, ahi poke. All were delicious. Service was good - place was loud, there was live entertainment. Sports bar ambience with tv's all over. I'd come back for lunch one day.

Patrick G.

I've debated about my review of Lulu's for some time now. The bar staff was really friendly. Mel was super cute and wore a really short skirt and pig tails...yeah, it was hot. Rick, the dred locked bar back, was really cool and took us out to see some reagge band. The drinks flowed well and were mixed apporpriately. Some of the locals that were there were tools though.....I'm just sayin'.... We went there for breakfast on our way out of town also. Food was average, but I couldn't tell if our server, the one who was texting so much that she couldn't remember our check or to pick it up, was pregnant or just shouldn't have been wearing that small tank top. At night time, the bathroom attendant will creep you out...and he goes in to the ladies room to see his counterpart....

M M.

Lulu's became our hangout on Waikiki when we weren't on the beach. The big, open-air "surf-club" environment, the fantastic views from every seat, and the great service we received made it one of the highlights of our trip. The only downside: it was too tempting to eat every meal out and exceed our budget! :)

Joan R.

Lulu's had a great menu. I ordered the Tofu scramble which came with egg omelet and hash browns. The potato's were nicely seasoned as was the omelet.Very filling and very good. I would highly recommend this restaurant. The only suggestion I have is that they carry Chai Latte. Otherwise it was great and I would go back again to Lulu's.

Kate S.

Breakfast on the balcony overlooking the beautiful Pacific Ocean could not have been better than it was at Lulu's! The food was wonderful, and there were so many choices, we wished we could have tried it all. Next time, I will definitely sample their fabulous french toast (stuffed with cream cheese!). Instead I had my usual breakfast fare anywhere I go (two eggs, toast and coffee), but tried the corned beef hash in place of spuds). ALL of it was perfect in taste, presentation and temperature! The corned beef hash, instead of mushy stuff you usually get, had actual lean sliced corned beef mixed in with the potatoes. The coffee was hot and delicious. The cream is real half and half and the butter is real butter! Our server, Michael, was wonderful, doting, sincere and friendly. We sat at the long narrow table which winds around the east and north edges of the establishment, directly above the famous Kalakaua Ave. It's like a sushi bar, except instead of the chef, you watch the gentle morning waves of the ocean and feel the seabreeze, too. Hint: be sure to make a reservation to be seated there...the whole restaurant was jam packed when we arrived at 8:00AM for our feast. We will definitely go to Lulu's again on our next trip to Oahu. We only wish we'd gone there more than once during our week-long stay, but we were visiting Waikiki for the first time and wanted to try other places. This place ranks among the best in breakfast for me.

Liz A.

Lulu's was great. My husband and I actually went there twice while on vacation last week. The fish tacos are AMAZING! It's a casual bar setting and the side of the restaurant opens up to the beach. They have delicious locally brewed beer on draft and actually offer a happy hour (which apparently is hard to come by in Waikiki).

Bill K.

The view at Lulu's is spectacular--beautiful ocean view and great place to people watch...while enjoying food or beverage. For me, Lulu's is a nice place for breakfast, sometimes lunch in Waikiki. I haven't gone at night because the lines are too long and it looks way to crowded. I HIGHLY recommend the stuffed french toast. It's so good, that you want to make out with it! On the otherhand, the service is slow and you'd think being in Hawaii that the coffee would be good. 3-stars only b/c of the french toast.

Beecher W.

Just kept disappointing me. Cold food , slow service, definitely not a breakfast place. However, the mahi sandwich was pretty good. I would like to come back at night because appears to be an excellent party venue. Great view of the beach area....

Leslie C.

Great breakfast place!! Was close to our hotel. Affordable, staff was all super helpful of each other, friendly.

Scott D.

Unfortunately I did not get to experience the food here. I can only comment on the service. My friends and I went here while on vacation. We walked up what we thought was the entrance to the restaurant and looked around for a hostess or anyone to ask where to be seated. It is a bar type of restaurant much like the Tiki bar next store which is open seating so we assumed we needed to find our own table. It was pretty packed so after making a couple rounds around the restaurant we finally found seats together at a counter that faced outside the restaurant. We were then "greeted" by a man who told us that next time we needed to go to the host stand to be seated before I could explain why we sat there he dropped three menu's and was gone. Then the server came and took our drink order left and returned without the drinks to lecture us for the second time about seeing the hostess to be seated I again tried to explain what happened but I was ignored again and she left. At this point we were no longer felt welcome and decided to leave. For us service was a fail.

Jo-Ann L.

I think the reviews for breakfast is better but we came here for lunch. I can't complain about the view and service. Loved the open air sitting with the view of Waikiki beach and the service was wonderful! My Loco Moco was not hot (barely warm); husband's blackened mahi sandwich very good; and the boys burgers were big and good. The fries, volcano and garlic, that came with the burgers were tasty.

linda c.

YES to everything at Lu Lu's -- great food, fab service, good prices and great location and atmosphere -- good music too! Particularly recommend the Cesear salad with steak or the Ahi salad -- delish! Sometimes when busy, be sure to double check your order before the server takes off to put in -- some of the entrees are similar -- but all in all, after checking out several eateries in Waikiki, I would highly recommend LuLu's

Life music, 3$ Primo Drafts. Nothing wrong with that!

Michelle O.

Location is fabulous as previously noted. They're perched above street level, with great views of the ocean and breeze from the open air design. It's even better when you have an opportunity to watch the fireworks on the beach. The night I went started a little sparse but was packed by midnight. The DJ played a mix of hip hop (including some old school) and reggae. They may have had a few pop songs but not many. The crowd was chill & drama free. Thumbs down for the lack of wait staff. Anytime we needed a round, someone would literally have to go to the bar. Boo! The mixed drinks were well made & the prices were average. No clue what the cover was/is. The door guy we knew snuck the entourage through the back.

Dianne C.

It's right in front of the beach, which is, of course, littered with hotels and tourists. But, hey, you know, I do the tourist-y thing. It wasn't particularly a clearly decided choice for us to go to Lulu's but the bf and I were STARVING. We had walked, almost non-stop, for about 4 hours, it was hot, and we kept our breakfast to a minimum. We couldn't really see anywhere else to go (hunger can lead to peripheral blindness for some), so we went in. So here's why I had to point out "tourists". After waiting for a while, what with a REALLY packed restaurant during the lunch hour, and waiters and waitresses trying to fulfill the needs of the masses, our waitress found a spot just for 2 right on the side (because the set up doesn't really allow you to have your own table... unless you have a party of 8-12 and can fill up a whole long table), facing the beach. She prepped it just a teensy bit for us, and just as we were about to get there, a couple of people who were sitting on the other side, sped right by us and plopped down. She tried to tell them that the seats were meant for us, but they ignored her. RUDE! And, yes, English is their first language. We had to sit right on the table just a little behind them. Even if the customer is always right, WE are customers, too. But, you know what? Food is what we were there for, and we wanted it, stat. We'd have a better view of the beach ON the beach anyway. It did take a while to get our orders with the busy buzzing crowd, but our server was pretty nice about it. (They weren't quite so nice in noticing that we were running out of water, but, again, with the busy buzzing...) Quite honestly, I thought that the food was rather overpriced, though they were decently tasty. Nothing too special, but alright. (Then again, we also didn't order the island fish). One thing to note: Because it is open-windowed and it's right in front of the beach, quite a few birds fly in... to eat some of your scrappings off the floor, and conveniently unload on the same floor to make more room in their little tummies. Sometimes this goes by unnoticed. If we're talking about experience here, then this really would be 2 stars: I've had better. Rude people ruin my time, especially rude people who blatantly steal my spot. I'll put in the extra star just because our servers were nice (despite the lack of water to quench the thirst), and the food was decently tasty. I think I may just be thankful that it was the only day we spent by Waikiki Beach. Actually, it's been a couple of months, and I'm getting irritated thinking about it. I take that star back anyway.

Chris W.

Went twice - breakfast was better than the long line at the RIPOFF. And just as good a view. Dinner was a fun crowd and the fish tacos were excellent!!

Sue T.

I cannot say enough about this restaurant and their employees. We (10 people) were staying at the Moana Surfrider prior and after our cruise and a family member recommended Lulu's. It was a hit. Shane, from Maine and Michael were so accommodating to a party of 10. They were also so much fun. The food was DELICIOUS and if you left hungry, something is wrong with you. My husband had the Big Kahuna Omelet not once but three times during our stay. Let's say his plate was cleaned at the end. The rest of us has the Stuff French Toast!!! This plate can be shared if you like. I have not had a breakfast that was so Yummy and the presentation was beautiful. Now add the ambiance of the open aired restaurant. You can relax and enjoy every bit of your meal without being rushed. Lulu's lets you take in the whole Hawaiian feeling. The party of 10 from Chicago, loves LULU's!!!!!

Scott R. D.

I ate here two Sundays in a row and both times I felt like I was being punished for not going to church. The food was disappointing. Stick to the burgers. Update: went back this past Saturday and had a burger. It wasn't bad, but not great either. Service pretty spotty.

Dan A.

Clean, excellent service, and a great view. We got the loco moco and it was great. My partner got pancakes, eggs and fruit. The server was very helpful. We'll definitely check this place out again.

Joanne S.

I had a quick lunch at Lulu's on the way to Kapiolani Park for a pre-game Pro Bowl event. Lulu's was good because it was only a block away from the park and right across the street from the beach. We were served quickly and the food was pretty good. I had an ahi wrap and my bf had a kahlua pulled pork sandwich. Both meals came with a choice of sweet potato, garlic or spicy fries. The garlic fries were really yummy! I'm from SF, where we're serious about our garlic fries, and these have been the only garlic fries I've ever enjoyed outside of Gordon Biersch or AT&T Park! The cocktails were also very good, but might've been a lil too strong for a lunchtime drink...but that could also be a plus! Since it's an open-air restaurant (open windows) and is on a 2nd story, you get a nice view of Waikiki Beach. I haven't been here for the nightlife, so it's on my list for my next trip to Oahu!

A. N.

I meant to write this review back in May (2012) when my boyfriend and I were there. Awesome place and best service we had during our whole vacation...not sure why it's compared to Duke's, because Duke's sucked in my book.. long wait and terrible service there. Liz D. was our waitress at LuLu's and she was great, couldn't ask for a better server! The view is amazing and the atmosphere was fun, minus the Red Sox decor - I'm a huge Yankees fan! Overall, wish we found this place before our last day there, will definitely be back when we're on the island.

Doug K.

Awesome views of Waikiki beach and the ocean. Excellent food and lots of it! The portions are huge. The menu offers a wide range of options from burgers to their amazing nachos. Try the Mai Tai!!

BoiseFoodie A.

The calamari arrived with dollops of nacho cheese and ketchup all over. Eeeew! Loud inside with sub-standard food. Cannot recommend. Conveniently located so you might be tempted. Don't give in. Go to Furusato Sushi just a little ways up the street (@ Hyatt) or Seafood Village (try the duck).

Jon M.

This is the place to go when you don't want your night to end. I remember eating back in the day when this was a Denny's not its a local night spot. A bunch of the bartenders from the local hotels and restaraunts drop in here after their shift, the party gets started here late. This is the place to blend with the locals. That hot bartender you saw at Duke's will probably finish out her night here and you should most definitely buy her drink if you have the courage.

Patrick A.

I like Lulu's and have been there many times. I enjoy the location and the atmosphere - comfortable, casual, and fun. This is a great place to grab a drink and get some decent food. They have a good variety on the menu and I have always found the food to be good. I recommend sitting at one of the seats along the rail on the sides of the restaurant that overlooks Waikiki beach. Great view of the ocean and good people watching! Like many places along Waikiki Beach; show up in your bathing suit, t-shirt, and flip flops and enjoy a nice break from the beach at this popular restaurant / bar.

Salem T.

One of my most missed memory is in this place, by far the best French toast EVER! I sometimes think of going back to hawaii just to get some, but sadly thats not gonna happen anytime soon. Great service, staff was very friendly. One lady even recommended to go to the swap meet for great deals. I only had their breakfast so i dont know how the rest of the meals are, but if they are anything like the french toast than it ha to be THE BEST

John O.

On the far end of Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki, right before Kapiolani Park, you will find this restaurant located on the second floor. Right on above Starbucks. The best thing this place has is the view. As for the food, they have all your standard favorites, and yes, you can order breakfast at all hours of the day. I never had a full meal here, I am partial to their Kailua Pig Quesadilla. Yummy! It is so good and they give you plenty of sides. They have all your beer favorites, most in bottles, and they always have Steinlager on draft and with a special price. They have a couple of happy hours throughout the day. Don't forget about SHAKA SUNDAYS! If you happen to be here on a Sunday, check out their Shaka Sundays! They have drink specials and a band that stops by playing island music. It is fun! If you are here at the right time of the year, you can watch a band play music, eat some grinds and drinks some brews all with a fantastic sunset!

Rock S.

Awesome Black and Blue Benedict. Will come back here every time!

Charles B.

I had just arrived after a 2 hour bus ride from the airport and was in dire need of a pina colada. Lulu's delivered well on the drink and I was immediately and officially on vacation! The meal that followed was right on par for a bar restaurant overlooking the beach. Emphasis on the bar rather than the restaurant. I had the Ahi Tuna and my wife had the crab cake sandwich with garlic fries. A good meal, but I left with my socks firmly attached. However, I did not leave hungry.

M B.

Had the dinner Ahi Tuna. It was a perfect size portion and cooked just right. I asked for double veggies instead of the side starch. Wait staff all pitched in. Seated immediately and enjoyed fast service. Was there around 530pm.

g p.

came here for dinner before bar hopping. nacho appetizer is HUGE, 3 or us couldn't even finish it! it's partially outdoor no air con so if you get hot easily try to sit near the windows. great place for casual drinks.

Eric G.

This is definitely a dinner and drinks kind of place -- with very cute waitresses. The food's not bad. In fact, the calamari was excellent. But stay away from the cold "mashed" potatoes, they were dry and not mashed very well.

Mark a p.

Our last stop of the evening. We tried the Kahlua pork nachos. It was a hit. We could have stayed and assisted our server who had to close , 4am and back for breakfast at 8. Next time. This place also has a great breakfast from what I hear. Another good food place with character and price. Yet, you have to expect it for a place across from a beach. **Stopped in Sunday morning. This place opens at 7am for breakfast. I stopped in to watch the Colt/SD game. I had some coffee Irish style. The breakfast menu was short but looked taste.

Kris C.

This place is hella cute, with ocean views! This was my first stop for food on my first trip to Hawaii. My philly cheese sandwich was a bit greazy but who cares, I was in Hawaii! I had the philly cheeze and some volcano fries. Chased down with 2 ice cold beers. Resonable prices, Hawaii isnt so expensive after all. This place was only a one minute walk from my hotel, what a great place! I also came back later to do some pre-drinking before a night of partying. Hooray for Lulu's.

K B.

Lulu's was a great place for breakfast. It was our first time in Hawaii and after sampling the watered down pancakes (yes pancakes, I don't know how you can mess pancakes and waffles up, but they weren't good) at our hotel, we decided to venture out. After our first visit, we ate breakfast there for the rest of the week! What made our meals was our server, Mike. I can't rate the service from anyone else because every morning we requested Mike's section. He took great care of us and was so personable and gave us tips about the island and fun things to do. Most of the breakfast menu was excellent - especially the stuffed french toast, which is good for sharing, but probably a bit much for 1 person. The Loco Moco wasn't my fave, but the Deuces Wild more than made up for it. The atmosphere is very casual - think open sports/tiki bar where the birds easily find their way in, which suited us fine because we weren't looking for a fancy, champagne brunch. We just wanted good, comforting breakfast food and we found it at Lulu's.

Mitchel E.

Well I hate to write this but feel it needs to be done. I have eaten here many times. This most recent visit, I was seated and given a menu and water and waited. I waited with a friend for some time without acknowledgement. I went to the hostess to inquire and she was surprised and would get someone right away. He came by and apologized but stated he was busy at the bar. I was present when the hostess got his attention. He was not busy but chatting with work colleagues. He took our order and again we waited and other customer sat next to use later, got her meal, ate half of it and we were still waiting. The waiter came to her and asked how her meal was, looked at us without acknowledgement and walked away. Not any communication to state he would figure out what was going on. Finally we got up and went to the hostess and she grabbed the manager. He essentially said, in a very brief interaction, I am sorry to hear that and said we did not have to pay for our ice tea. My friend works for United Airlines and will ensure that the word is spread that it you want service then best to go elsewhere. The waiter stood there as I spoke with the manager and offered no apology or any response for that matter. We ate at Burgers in Paradise and had excellent service and will take our business elsewhere. By the way, it was not busy at Lulu's and there were plenty of staff.

The quest for the ultimate burger continues with a fun filled jaunt to Waikiki. There really isn't much that isn't there along the promenade, but a great burger joint, indeed! We actually received the tip from the local surf crowd, always a good place to start for recommendations on good eats when away from home. Located across the street from the beach, open air dining, casual and very friendly service. The burgers are great. Good quality, charcoal grilled, very nice. I knew I would return, return I did indeed. I look forward to visiting Lulu's again in the future.

food was ok douchey guys again dirty birds flying around the place, so I decided to feed them... xoxo

At the corner of Kapahulu & Kalakaua is this nice lil gem that is surprisingly versatile from a breakfast spot to a nightclub. The dance space leaves something to be desired, especially when it gets super crowded, but if you get here to eat dinner and have a drink, it's perfect to just stay around and wait, because then you don't have to pay a cover fee. Try and snag a chair on the railing, so you can watch theh ocean and if you're there at the right time, one of the most beautiful sunsets ever. The drinks are strong, the food is good, and the waitstaff is friendly. Definitely a great place to go before you start your heavy clubbing for the night!

Defiinitely will go back. Went there twice, first time had the Ahi Poke- really good but suggest as something to share with others and NOT as a main course. The second time I got calamari ceasar salad and it was excellent. Lots of calamari on a nice bed of lettuce. yum. Boyfriend had the chicken quesadillas and cheesseburger, both were pretty standard. Views are nice but try to sit on the edge parallel to Kalakaua Ave and bring sunglasses. Prices are reasonable, a meal for two including two drinks and tip will cost about $50. Live music was pretty good : )

A R.

Highly recommend the salads. They are so good love any tuna salads or you can even make them into a wrap love the blowfish lights too.

Steve A.

Just down the street from the Marriott we ate breakfast here four times (yes it was that good) and stopped in for drinks and appetizers one afternoon - also stellar. Really friendly staff no matter when we went and we got someone different every day and time we went. Usually got one of the seats with a view of the ocean across the street, which you can't beat when you start your day - so try and get one of those seats vs. the tables, which didn't look as much fun. Menu is really good - on Christmas I had the stuffed French Toast and it was not only a work of art on the presentation, but a real delight on every bite - splurge and get the coconut syrup which really completes that meal. They also do a good Loco Moco - a Hawaiian favorite for breakfast - with rice, grilled burger in brown gravy and topped with two eggs. We had the Kailua pork Nachos and drinks one afternoon and they are HUGE! Enough for four people easily and the two of us could not finish them. It's a keeper and when we are back in Waikiki this is on the list to visit again.

Helen Y.

Connie C and I came here for breakfast since we were staying right next door at the Resort Quest Waikiki Beach (previously called Aston). The kahlua pork omelette was delicious as were the banana macadamia nut pancakes! Unfortunately something must've happened with our order because guests that came after us were served before us! Also our server messed up my order -- he gave me rye toast when I asked for wheat. At least he comp'd the OJ.

Lissie B.

We had dinner here once when we were in Waikiki. Thought the atmosphere was young and fun, they had a live band and the view was nice. We were a group of four, two of us had the cheeseburger with different toppings, and I had to keep sending mine back because it wasn't cooked all the way through. Each time, I kept praying that they don't spit on my burger, but I absolutely couldn't stand seeing the pink meat!!! I take out two stars for that, but dude...do you not know what well done means??? After the 3rd time, I gave up, I decided to share with my BF instead. Although I had problems with my burger, everybody else enjoyed their meals. My sister's BF had the Kalua Pork dish which he loved, so much that both of them came back the night after and stuck around for the night life after wards. The only downfall was that it was a long walk from our hotel (beachwalk). I would go back, but next time I'll stay away from ordering a burger!!!

Ric M.

Good food. (Nothing outstanding) Good service. (Nothing outstanding) Good prices. (Very reasonable) Good view of the street and the beach. Overall, yeah, a good place to grab a good breakfast.

Paola R.

My partner walked in here randomly one Saturday morning in search of breakfast. And boy, did we find breakfast. We ordered the french toast (the full order, not the half) and their regular eggs benedict. It was heaven, especially the french toast. The food came quickly, and the host and servers were really nice. Free refills on coffee! And the view is gorgeous. Yes, this place is crowded with tourists, but the crowd died down as soon as we sat down at around 10am.

Ayla W.

Nothing special but not bad either. The daiquiri was good, the ahi tuna salad was surprisingly bland compared to the coconut shrimp and kalua pork nachos we had, both of those items were really great. Service was good, the view would have been nice if we hadn't gone after sunset and the love music was alright.

Nishita V.

What a nice place for breakfast with a great view of the beach! My husband and I decided to pop in for breakfast on Sunday morning on a recent visit to Waikiki. We were both happy with the choice. I ordered the pineapple fruit bowl and a POG juice. Unfortunately the POG juice wasn't fresh. You could tell it was probably from a carton and watered down. My husband ordered an omelette. We were both happy with our food choices. We were seated on the bar facing the beach. Great seats, but unfortunately the wood was falling apart so it was covered in black duct tape. You can see it in the picture beneath my plate. Cool little place by the beach. I'd go here again if I was walking by and hungry. I don't think I would go out of my way to come back though.

Stephen B.

Great, affordable option in Waikiki and they have probably the best weekly specials in the area, highlighted by INDUSTRY MONDAYS! The food is consistent and I have been here many times and will definitely be back. Great beer selection and the parking is easy too, either at the Shell (free) or Zoo ($1/hr). The wings are very weird and have a bone protruding from the drumsticks. The service can sometimes be painfully slow but in my mind, none of this really matters as it's a place with a great vibe and tasty, affordable options.

Adam N.

It says they have shuffleboard... But they don't. Little bit of a let down. Service wasn't spectacular, but it really wasn't anywhere on this trip. It was so bad across the board, my family is never coming to this island again. Drink specials are what gave this place three stars. The nachos were lack-luster at best and their khalua pig is just meh. Go to the tiki bar and get better food and service.

CA-Tour T.

The shrimp Alfredo was delicious and the live music was great. My friend order Fajita which came with rice and bean. She felt that the rice and bean was hard and had no favor. Nice atmosphere and customer service was suburb, we received Aloha's when we entered and when we left. The Piña Colada's were watered down so they lost a star for that. The Brownie cake was good and they sung happy birthday. we recommend this place if your looking for great music and good food.

Devin O.

They don't even deserve a star. Terrible hostess, bad service, moody waiter. Ordered a Loco Moco and it was cold, my eggs were suppose to be over easy but the yolk was fully cooked. Also waiter hardly came to check on us for drink refills. Just a horrible first experience would never go back and would not recommend anyone to go. Also had to wait for our table for about 40 minutes and then the hostess said our table is ready but we have to wait 15 minutes because they were too busy. They had like 4 tables empty.

Diana F.

Horrible & filthy. The buser used a filthy rag to wipe tables down & places it in his back pocket. I got really grossed out! Ordered a child's meal, spaghetti-o's and it was literally from a can. I've worked in restaurants and cleanliness is one of the top priorities that goes along with health.

Ivy Lou H.

A good solid 3 stars for today's experience. Portuguese sausage is tasty but not too salty. Eggs Benedict (classic longboard) tastes better than what I had yesterday but needs more hollandaise sauce. The downside of this experience? I think they need to change their mugs. They're super scratch and looks dirty

Bennie Ann K.

Is it me or was I dreaming....we were in the Waikiki area for the 15th Birthday Celebration for Jamba Juice which was being held at the Honolulu Zoo. Being that we were there earlier then expected, we decided to to give Lulu's a try. We entered Lulu's through the Kuhio Ave. entrance and upon entering found a sign which said to check in at the front entrance; no problem, so we walked through the bar/dining area to the front entrance and....wow! I swear one of the hostess there gave me the look like wth! "Front entrance" was meant you're supposed to walk up the stairs from the front NOT across the room. Oh well! We ordered my grandson's food first before deciding what we would like to eat, and that was a good thing that we did....because it took them forevers to get our food to our table. Now these weren't full meals, all we ordered were appetizers!! We ordered the full order of the Big Surfer Nacho's @ $15 + extra guacamole $0.50 1 full order of Regular Hot Wings $15, Full order of the Apricot Thai Wings $15 and my grandson meal was the Mac/Cheese with fries $6 Like I shared earlier it's a good thing that my grandson's meal was ordered first, his meal was way smaller then what he usually recieves at other restaurants! I'm not sure the exact time it took for our order to come out but, it did take awhile! Everything was brought to our table at one time, the Nachos seemed like it was sitting on the line for awhile due to the fact that it was cold and the cheese was stuck together already! Both chickens weren't what I expected either, they were also on the cooler side, and for the regular hot wings, the spice was the only thing that was what anyone would consider hot and talk about being dry...they were dry!!! They should also take a note here, if you're going to serve celery with that, at least trim the ends so that they at least look decent enough to eat and not brown and old! I took a picture of that too! Don't get me wrong because, I know that some of you are saying that "I should have sent them back" let me tell you, I thought about it but, I was afraid of them doing something to my food before bring it back out to us again. We also had to ask for refills for water even though they passed our table a few times and it was obvious that a refill was needed! Ask me now did we leave a tip & will I ever return there? NO WAY!!!! They are too overpriced for the quality that they serve! If only I could have given 0 stars I would have done so!!

Gary C.

Lulu's is consistent every time I go there. Good views, good mix of locals and tourists, cute friendly staff, decent fair priced pub grub and workable drink and food specials. It's a good spot to catch up with friends and/or catch a game. I'll keep heading back.

Kim S.

It was really busy and we waited 20 min which wasn't bad. It took a long time to get our appetizer and food. The food was good but the Artichoke dip appetizer was Killer. Drinks from the bar were weak!! Our waiter was totally cool but not sure we will come back.

Sabrina J.

We had a great time listening to the live band. Their drinks were strong and the food was good. Great experience to start our night of bar hopping.

Shaina A.

Went here one night for drinks and a small bite . Their drinks were pretty bad. It tasted very funky. My husband got a corona and I got a sangria. He didn't finish his corona, said it tasted old . My drink was bitter, which I thought from the alcohol but I never got a buzz . Just a bad taste. We also ordered their calamari , which was awesome! Their view is amazing also!

Brad D.

Absolute blast! The bar has a cool Tiki decor and awesome pufferfish hanging that double as lamp shades on the weekends. The service is great, always on point when our party of 8's drinks were creeping up on empty. Did not have any food but the sis-in-law stated then sliders were "Money!" Mainly a positive experience but nothing over the top to deserve a 5* review. That is, until we returned the next night. Firstly, our server (whom we referred cheekily to as 'Boston') is an absolute delight. I wish I made notation of her name as she deserves some accolades from the manager and/or owner. She was the 95% reason we returned in anticipation to see her the next night. (5% was location to the hotel, but hey). Always pleasant, very polite, prompt and accurate service. And the cherry on top? She could switch to full Boston accent on us without missing a beat! Me thinks she could make a great actress! Now for the real surprise. About 1 in the am, the music starts gearing towards a more dance, old school beat so our crowd starts feeling it. Apparently we were not the only ones. One of the cooks emerges from the kitchen, and commences one of the most epic dance-off's that most of us have ever seen! Who knows if the other guy was in on it and it was staged, but really who cares?!?! I crap you not, this 10 min wave of epic proportions left us all 300% more satisfied than the luau at the Hilton Hawaii Village that we dropped $130/ea on! If you are in town on a weekend, get here late and get a good spot. And be sure to sit in the middle area so that you are graced with the presence of the charming Boston. Right on LuLu's and thank you!!!

Ashley G.

Stumbled on this place this morning. Walked up the stairs and had an amazing view of the ocean. Ordered the Dawn Patrol Omelet, delicious. Server, super nice. Love it. You should eat here.

Erin H.

Came here to watch the SEAHAWKS play and was wonderfully surprised by great food, a fun crowd and decent service. The view is beautiful, definitely a place worth visiting.

Fred D.

My traveling companion was adamant we eat at Lulu's, so fond was he that he was willing to eat here 3x a day. So once we got settled into our hotel, we went downstairs to get something to eat. Definitely one could eat here often as to the variety of menu items here. I wouldn't complain as the view is fantastic, the food is tasty and the service is excellent. The downside is it can be pretty pricey with appetizers and drinks -- thus I'm not sure about eating here 3x a day, but it's definitely worth visiting and enjoying a meal when in the Waikiki area. The French Toast was something of a disappointment as I was expecting it to be made from bread similar to King's Hawaiian, instead it was a bit tough and chewy and not really special. My friend had the Loco Moco and it looked really good -- he also said it was. Hopefully when I'm back here I'll try it. Definitely try the coffee with your breakfast and if you're back for lunch as we were, try the coconut shrimp. Both were delicious. Also, very cool t-shirts!

Christyna B.

The view is amazing. We sat along the rail and was able to see the beach perfectly. I had the Puka Puka Burga and it was so good and cooked to perfection. The calamari though; beyond amazing, I now know what good calamari is supposed to taste like. In CA every place over cooks it. My husband had pulled pork and it was gone before I even started eating. Staff is very friendly and responsive when ever we asked a question or needed anything. I would eat here all the time if there weren't so many other wonderful places nearby. Most definitely will return!!!!

Lynae L.

HIDDEN GEM! This place is perfect for a Hawaiian breakfast. It's reasonably priced with an AMAZING ocean front view. We were surprised that there weren't more people here. Maybe some found it hard to find? It is located up stairs on the building at the corner of the street. I got to try their stuffed French toast, which was good...but honestly so fattening that it made me want to throw up by just looking at it. I would defiantly recommend the macadamia nut pancakes with coconut syrup instead if you are craving something sweet. Their black and blue ahi Benedict was off the walls and paired perfectly with my favorite, the corned beef hash. GET THEIR CORNBEEF HASH!!!

James W.

Located in Waikiki beach in the heart of the tourist trap, we decided to give this place a chance since our family members, who are locals, heard good things. However, Lulu's falls quite flat. One of their main breakfast entrees is "fresh papaya," which is literally HALF a papaya with a squeeze of lime that is an astonishing $6. I ordered the stuffed french toast, and despite their description of a lillikoi and pineapple flavor, was simply half-dipped french toast with regular cream cheese inside. So, high prices for less than mediocre food. Avoid this place!

Kristy N.

This is my secondtime here. The first time breakfast was good!! We ordered the black and blue benedict and it was awesome! The service was amazing as well. The second time around we came a little later so it was a bit more crowded. We were able to be sat in 10 minutes but our food took more than 30 minutes. This time we ordered omelettes with egg whites and potatoes. Very disappointing wait for eggs. It's discouraging when the people next to you sit get their food quicker than you received yours. So was the food worth the wait? I had the Big Kahuna omelette sub egg whites and potatoes. The Kalua pig was dry and bland. I wished there was more pepper jack cheese. The eggs were cooked perfectly but there was water under my omelette which my toast ended up soaking in. I rate them with 3 stars for they're okay service and okay food.

Friendtasia R.

I LOVE THIS RESTAURANT! I've been here 3 times out of the 5 days I've been here and I plan on coming a few more times before I leave. The prices here a affordable and the quality of food is amazing. Coming from New York and not really liking commercialized restaurants like IHOP or outback. This restaurant fits my liking! Their happy hour drinks also are great! 4 dollar sangria Mia tai 5 dollars ( I don't know the other drinks but they ran for the same price) I suggest if it's your first time coming to hawaii and want to eat and have a nice view this is the spot!!

Richard M.

Awesome view, cool vibe and excellent food at a reasonable price. Bonus -- we went on Wednesday night and had half-price beer. Deschutes Fresh Squeezed IPA for $3.50/bottle is pretty fantastic.

Robert R.

Really liked this place. I was a single (business traveler) but they put me at the "tourist rail" where you can watch the sunset. it was pretty cool, but the sunset was a no show. I was quickly seated and got a drink on the way within about 3 minutes. I ordered pork egg rolls (very good) and the loco moco. If you haven't had loco moco, you should give it a try. hamburger, over rice, with gravy and a fried egg. It was as good as it sounds. will be definitely returning on subsequent trips.

Stacy H.

Came here for dinner during happy hour and breakfast. Prices are fair and moderate while the potions are pretty large. The beach boy nachos were fantastic and definitely worth sharing. The view is right of Waikiki beach and beautiful. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Geno P.

Lulu's is one of my favorite breakfast spots in Waikiki. If you're visiting, make it a point to walk to the Zoo end and get a seat overlooking the beach for one of the best wake-up dining experiences available! Lulu's does it right. There's a distinct surf vibe here and a menu that's in touch with the locals. In particular, the breakfast is bang on. Lots of healthy and organic choices here, plus this amazing French toast: yelp.com/biz_photos/lulu… Breakfast is especially filling after an early morning swim or any of the activities in Kapiolani Park or Diamondhead. And don't forget to start yourself off with the papaya. Squirt that lime and you're good to go!

Bethany S.

I never complain. I have never actually pulled a server aside to say I cannot eat my meal. Lulu's is my first. To begin with the "fresh" cantaloupe in my fruit cup was soggy and had a terrible moldy flavor. Their toast was not toasted and only had a stale texture. Which I had 3 bites of and didn't touch again. But most unnerving was the Eggs Benedict that I received. I LOVE Eggs Benedict but I'm not snobby about my love for it. All I ask is the eggs be runny and to be loving with the hollandaise sauce. I had a pinch of hollandaise sauce and to throw salt in the wound my poached eggs were totally solid. Not even a drop of yolk. Finally a complaint was made and when our server brought me two new poached eggs I was just over this place. Yep. They were completely solid again. BOTH OF THEM! Unfortunately our server was not much better and offered no compensation for the continuous disappointments. So good luck and I suggest not getting the toast or eggs benedict!!

Craig R.

Came in here for breakfast because the restaurant attached to the Waikiki Marriott is so insanely expensive. I ordered some Banana and Macadamia Nut Pancakes, the portion was gigantic (see pictures). I couldn't finish it. It came with a bunch of whip cream too which was a nice bonus. My wife ordered some kahlua pork with potatoes and a small omelette. She said it was 'Yumm.' Very descriptive. But she's more picky than I am so I'll take that as a positive review. The staff was nice and on top of it and we got a great view looking out from the bar near the window. Would definitely return!

Andreas L.

It's a little run down by waikiki standards but oh well as long as the food and drinks are good, right? Bleah!!! I sat at the bar and ordered a hard lemonade type of drink that was awful and mixed with pineapple? ??? Lemonade and pineapple?? Then I ordered the wings. I want expecting much but they were clearly frozen wings and had way too much sauce on them. I get so tired of restaurants using frozen food products.

Sonia C.

Ratchet!!!! Enough said.... DJ was wack mixed house with hip hop who does that... definitely not in LA. Its one or the other...get it right so bad

Chyanne O.

Regular bar type, American food. It's ok... Tasted better. However, great view of the beach! Happy Hour Sangria's are great too.

Adriana M.

The drink are ok. The waitress wouldn't come back with change so leave exact change!!!

Jackie M.

This place had great views, open air but out of the rain, and the food was among the best we had during out stay in Waikiki. Service was great too. Come early on a game day - it got full quickly. The only reason I gave it four stars was the bathrooms. They were dark and stinky. And the sink was an old fashioned hot / cold separate handles kind. So - you touch it with dirty hands and have to touch it again with clean ones. Grody.

Jackie W.

After a friend's wedding down the street at the Aquarium, my friends and I wandered down to LuLu's. Coming from SoCal where the bars are packed to the brim on a Saturday night, it was nice to walk into a bar that was busy but not packed (and had plenty of places to sit!). For those who are ability challenged like me, there's an elevator in the Pacific Shore hotel that will take you up to the bar too. The bouncers were rather rude and crabby when we came up via the elevator though and had to check our IDs separate from the crowd coming up the stairs. Our waitress and the bus boy were really nice. The lava flow was fruity and delicious. At 11 they start late night food hour too. Highly recommend the fries and the nachos (with Kahlua pork). Yum! All in all a really fun vibe right across from the beaches of Waikiki. If you were driving here, I have no idea where you would park because the closest lot is the zoo lot across the street or the hotel lot but other than that, a good place to stop if you're visiting Honolulu and want some good tropical drinks and a nice beachy vibe.

Helen K.

Food was ok, pancakes came out cold so had to ask them to warm them up. View alone gets a 5 but service and food get a solid 3 so give them 3.5 overall. Its not a must if you're a tourist.

Chuck B.

Superb place with fantastic food, great service, and a cool location. One of our favorite spits.

EL H.

I was not impressed with LuLu's. The food and the service were both mediocre at best. The omelette was bland, the waiter's personality was bland, and the wait staff moved in slow motion. We waited five minutes for a menu and ten minutes for our water. The hostess was pleasant, as well as the view, but that was about it.

Ashley B.

Very cute spot, in a very popular/touristy area. The space is big, and kind of what you would expect but I'll just say it again, it's so freakin' touristy. We went here a couple times (probably only worth going to once in my opinion) and it was great for some of the friends we were with that were kind of picky eaters as the food was very American. My fish was good, but not nearly as good as other things I had while visiting Honolulu. Basically, I think if I were to go back, it would be for a drink and I would definitely sit along the rail to do some people watching as the location is probably the best thing this place has to offer.

Francois G.

Wow! Definitely better than what I expected. The place is straight in front of the Waikiki Beach, view is amazing, Live band was great and the food... outstanding. I had the new york Strip with Jumbo Shrimp, it was delicious, steak cooked perfectly and the shrimp tasted like a little piece of heaven. Definitely reommended

Jens J.

JP schlepped me from idyllic Waianea in evening gridlocked traffic on H1 to Waikiki to meet up for dinner with friends who live in Waikiki. They picked Lulu's, not me. Lulu's is located at the far east end of the Waikiki strip, near the zoo. I probably could sum up this review by telling you that this is a bar & grill with loud live music (conversation was difficult to hold) and TVs everywhere. You can likely fill in the rest of the details. On the bright side, prices were quite reasonable. Example: a rib eye steak for $22. Also, service was decent, though it did take a while to get our orders. Richard ordered chicken fettucini, Joe a ribeye, JP the poke, and me, the Maryland mahi mahi. Joe's ribeye, while nice and tender, was very rare and very very salty. All you could taste in JP's poke (raw tuna) was sesame oil, and then, more sesame oil. My Maryland mahi mahi was simply dreadful. Everything was oversalted. I couldn't even eat the mashed potatoes on the plate due to their excessive sodium chloride content. The mahi mahi was fresh, but was ruined by the salty caper sauce. Ditto on the crab cake. I have a theory that many Waikiki restaurants don't place much focus on food quality because most of their customers are tourists who will never return anyway.

Vanessa S.

Was a pleasant breakfast with my daughter we came for vacation to Hawaii and I like this place the only problem there was not enough place to have eat at the ocean view section :(

Rene W.

Great views over the surrounding beach area! Food was OK, nothing to special. Ordered the volcano burger hoping for heat, but was let down on that front. The burger was still good as was the garlic fries.

Daniel L.

Great place to overlook the beach by Kalakaua and Kapahulu. Also the food isn't bad either. Service was great. Good vibes. Best time to go is monday nights (if you're in the industry). They have plenty of drink specials, views of the sunset, and live entertainment. They once had club night but now that often happens mondays during industry night. Otherwise going there to watch the games (esp. sunday football) is a good option.

Lynette T.

Lulu's has became a tradition for the husband and I. I HAVE to have my stuffed french toast & REAL corned hash brown! and it tasted just exactly how good I remembered it. This time we brought the whole family! The kids loved the atmosphere and environment. I have told my kids about these french toast and corned beef hash every time we came back home. My kids finally got to try it and they were hooked! Our server was awesome! We definitely will be back!

Andy G.

Nothing special.... More of a tourists' trap with some nice eye candy of the servers. Menu is typical Hawaiian, expensive and run of the mill bar food. I'd keep exploring around the area or go further back in the streets, a couple blocks from the beaches and find something more authentic, fun.

Sean O.

Nice bar and grill, very good location. The food is awesome and there's rarely a wait time. One of my favorite places!

Mike F.

LuLu's is located on the second floor of the Park Shore Hotel, where we stayed at for the first several days of our time out there. So, of course, we had to check it out! This place has that "hang loose", festive atmosphere to it! They also have the whole open air, facing the beach thing going to it as well! We requested to sit near the edge where we could have a great view of the beach as we took in our meal and our gracious hostess was happy to oblidge us! The service was here was pretty good! The waitress checked in on us several time during our meal and our drinks never reached the bottom of the glasses! I decided to grab a "bucket" of wings, as I had been craving some wings for a while. Half a bucket for $10, or a full bucket for $15. It doesn't take a math wiz to figure which one is the better deal! The wings were tasty and fairly meaty and left my tummy feeling satisfied. My friend grabbed the pork nachos and wow! was that a MASSIVE portion(see pic)! It took him a while, but he managed to put it away. I managed to grab a few bites and it didnt disappoint as well! Didn't partake of any of the drink specials, but they always seem to have something running! Maybe one day... I liked this place enough that I would certainly recommend it to anyone staying near or in the Park Shore..or hell, even if you're not! LuLu's provides generous portions of good food at affordable prices right by the beach! 4 stars!

Elsie W.

Poke with avacado & rice was good. Quality of green salad wasn't good at all, I had to send it back. The greens were going bad/wilting. Dressing to salad was horrible.

Ariel R.

My husband and I went here for lunch and then for drinks and an appetizer. The food and drinks where good and the view is great. The pork quesadilla was the best I've had (good flavor and texture) and the cobb salad my husband had smell good enough that I noticed when it passed by my head when the waiter put it down). The coconut shrimp was amazing. The drinks were mostly good (my husband liked the lava flow and that it was stronger than a lot of other places. I had a boozy lemonade that was refreshing. The mai tai was disappointing. I'm all for strong but it was pretty much just straight rum and it tasted like it.)

Gary S.

Beware of food poisoning. Boyfriend and I ate at Lulu's for the first and second meals (dinner and brunch) while in Honolulu. After the second meal, my boyfriend was not able to keep food or liquids down for more than 5 minutes at a time. This lasted for about 8 - 10 hours. We called the American Association of Poison Control Centers who said he was exhibiting classic signs of food poisoning. I researched online and it appears that this is not the first time that this has happened at Lulu's. I will give it to Lulu's, the food was really good, the staff was friendly, and the drinks were great. I would be giving a 4 star review if it hadn't been for the food poisoning.

Sara K.

Standard fare for Waikiki, there are some dishes that were surprisingly good- the teriyaki steak appetizer was well seasoned & cooked a perfect medium rare- and others that were surprisingly mediocre- their loco moco was one of the least flavorful I've had. I might try it again just for appetizers, but I wouldn't hurry back to do so.

Rebecca S.

I can't tell you anything about Lulu's food, sadly. We arrived at 10:30am. As we walked up the stairs, a family of six was leaving and we noted many open spots. No one was waiting for a table when we got to the front. We told the hostess there were two of us and she said there would be a 15 minute wait. We looked out at the empty spots then looked back to her, asking, "Really?" She said, "No, we should have something ready for you in five minutes." As we waited, the line gradually grew out the door, then down the stairs. We noted a couple vacating the coveted seats looking west over the beach. We asked the hostess if we could get those seats. Another staff cleared the dishes, the host wiped the bar down, then seated us. We received water right away, then a server came to take our order. My guava juice came out promptly, then the waiting started. I can't tell you exactly what time we ordered, but I'm guessing it was around 10:45am. Our server did circle with us around 11 and said he'd check on our order. He circled back with us to say there were two orders ahead of us. At 11:20, we left. We understand they were busy, but we were hungry. I had a smoothie within a few minutes from a place around the corner.

Not gonna lie- Waikiki is scary. Way too much for me! Busy restaurants and a ton of tourists. For a surprise date night, Lulu's is the furthest in I wanted to go. Beautiful view. Food wasn't awesome but it wasn't poor either.... what sold me was our waitress! MAGGIE WAS AWESOME. Super chill girl, wonderful to have as our server. I ordered a poke bowl, and it came out crazy spicy [other times I've ordered that had never been a problem]. Maggie was more than happy to take it back to the kitchen and grab me something else, for no charge. She suggested great drinks and made the environment comfortable. Next date night is more likely to be at Uncle Bo's for food quality and diversity- but just had to give 5 stars and hope Maggie hears us saying thank you again for a wonderful night! Lulus has a great crew.

Wonderful bar. Sarah bartender is the best. Friendly and a great bartender. Delicious bloody Mary's and good bar food. Right across from the beach. A perfect hangout!

Marifer S.

Service is terrible. Food is good. Industry night every Monday night. Half off pupus and drinks. Always packed.

The atmosphere is great. Overlooks the beach and is open aired. We enjoyed breakfast twice and we were seated quickly. The staff is kind and attentive. We enjoyed their stuffed French toast which is absolutely amazing!! A must! Do know that it is very decadent and can be shared! The other dishes we enjoyed were the eggs and bacon, pancakes, and omelet. Very tasty!

Solid breakfast and food is served fast. Must order the corned beef hash with the potatoes. Good variety in the omelets. It also has an amazing view on the second floor.

This place serves standard bar/restaurant type fare: burgers, wings, beer, steak and shrimp, soggy/overcooked vegetables and five servings of mashed potatoes on one plate. Good thing I like mashed potatoes. There are many TV screens up showing various sporting events but for my dining pleasure, there was live music which was one single guitar player amped for a simple acoustic set. When he played One by Metallica, I wanted to join in to play the heavy rhythm guitar section of the song, while making that classic James Hetfield gnarled/growling facial expression. The guitarist was a bit out of tune, but he eventually figured that out by the time he played Tracy Chapman's Fast Car. Eventually all his acoustic versions of songs sounded like Tom Petty's I Won't Back Down (or is it that Sam Smith song). It did provide my niece and I fun moments of "Name That Tune" while we dined. The restaurant is situated (2nd floor) with a great view of the beach. Unfortunately for me, the sun was just setting and I was seated in a position where I could stare directly at it. The hostess was extremely accommodating when we asked to change tables. Not great, not bad. It served its purpose in bloating my stomach with lots of mashed potatoes.

If you're looking for tourist food, this is your place. It's slightly more expensive for what it's worth. I ordered Kailua pork on a ciabatta bun with Asian slaw and fries. Good but not meme table. My husband order the volcano burger and fries. He said the jalapeños were too mild and the whole thing kind of fell short. On the plus side, the do make string drinks. My Mojito was strong enough to taste the rum but again, wasn't memorable. They have a great upper floor dining area that over looks Waikiki beach. It's a great view and the fact that dining room is technically outside adds charm. In the middle of tourist town, what you see is what you get.

Possibly my worst dining experience ever. Waited an hour after ordering before the waitress approached us to inform us that our order had been lost. Should have left at that point, but we were hungry and decided to stay. The food arrived fifteen minutes later and was mediocre. You will have better luck finding a proper meal at a fast food establishment. I will be sure to never return again.

Tommy M.

One of my favorite places in Waikiki!! I feel lulus embodies everything Hawaii. The look casual board shorts and surfboards. The cuisine light and local fare. If your in the mood for coconut shrimp or poke with a cold beer and a great view this is your place! Lulu's has live music in the weekends but always a cool crowd and pleasant service. One of the best times to come is any time but if you want to save a few bones the happy hour special offers cheaper beers! I suggest lulus for a really chill time!

My mom flew in from Europe and we stayed at the parkshore hotel. She was jetlagged and neither of us wanted to walk too far to get breakfast. We found Lulu's RIGHT next to the hotel and ordered some delicious food. I ordered the "Dawn patrol" and she ordered pancakes, eggs and sausage. The servers were 10/10, the food got to us FAST and was very tasty! The atmosphere was lovely as well, in general the whole experience was excellent. :)

Hông-Ân C.

The nachos are really great but as usual the service is really slow. It took 20 minutes for the waitress to notice us because we had to waive to her, although we were seated at the entrance and other waiters ignored us. Then another 25 minutes for our dish to arrive, which is not even a cooked dish. While the Kalua pork in the nachos was really tasty in doesn't make up for the slow service.

Laura C.

Lunch menu was really good , food was very well done, very flavored and good presentation. Went back later to try diner and next day breakfast since location was very convenient from our hotel... Breakfast menu is not special... You can get the same thing at IHOP . But I highly recommend to dine out here, very nice atmosphere.

Lynette W.

We ate here 3 times when staying in Waikiki. The food is good the customer service is good and there's a great view of the ocean while also being able to watch sports games. Very consistent place to eat.

Christian H.

Very awesome place to spend the Fourth of July at. The wings are a little weak as far as size, however they taste just delicious. I will say this the volcano fries are really just fries with Cajun seasoning still very tasty. Considering all this and four dollar longboards at happy hour from 3 PM to 5 PM, DAMMMMMMMNNNNNNN!!!!!

Stephanie T.

I'm here on a rather frequent basis because Simple Souls plays on Sundays from 7-10pm so I go to watch them as often as I can. A handful of their staff is stellar at what they do and are very friendly but the rest make you kinda wonder and be frustrated. One of the best servers at Lulu's is Dom he puts everyone else to shame :) The prices are high, but it is Waikiki so what can you expect. The portions are big though and the food is tasty. Some of the better items on their menu are the quesadillas, nachos (be sure you have someone to share with or order a half order), the strip steak.

Christopher S.

I've been here multiple times, and food is always good (and the beer is cold). This is a second floor lookout Hawaiian surf bar - complete with views of Waikiki Beach. Burgers, nachos, sandwiches and beer are the mainstays here. Always a chill atmosphere, great sandwiches (BLT), fresh salads, and good burgers (with bacon and avocado - the Magnum PI). Friendly staff and reasonably priced for a bar/restaurant in Waikiki. Kid friendly.

Todd H.

I'll keep it simple: burgers and beer. Good selection of both plus sports on tv. Friendly staff and a great view of the water. Waikiki priced of course.

Judy L.

Friendly staff. Poke was yummy. Happy Hour specials. Don't face the bar the whole time. Beautiful view when you turn towards the ocean.

Dede C.

The main reason Im giving lulus 3 stars because yes, i do come here every monday night with my friends for Industry night BUT the music absolutely sucks Me and my gals cant get down to trap, we want some old school hip hop or even mainstream if thats what it has to come to. anything but the music they play now.

Jason G.

My favorite place for Pau Hana on the island! Staff is out of this world and the food and drink is awesome especially when it is accompanied by a great sunset! Great music makes it an all-around truly amazing vibe!

Ariana M.

I have been to Lulus once for lunch and once for industry night. Being a local, I honestly try to avoid Waikiki as much as possible. Too crowded, too many cops, too many tourist, not enough parking. My lunch experience was good. Very casual atmosphere. Service was good and so was the food. Definitely wouldn't mind trying more stuff on the menu :) HOWEVER - my industry night experience was just ... irritating. First off, I love the idea of industry night cause its free entry and super cheap tab. However..... 1- I do not like how they took away our tables and made us stand around with food. They should leave SOME tables around 2- I do not like them confusing my tab with someone else's 3- I don't like how I have to hunt down a waitress to order a goddamn drink 4- I don't like how it has to be the SAME waitress that I need to order with It was just super frustrating ordering drinks. I mean seriously, if my original waitress doesn't come back to check on us - why cant I just order with someone else -___- you people don't want my money?

Had lunch at Lulu's the day after the hurricane was supposed to hit the island. We were told the wait for our food would be 20 minutes because they were one of few restaurants that were open. Food was very good, soup was warm so I sent it back and it came back hot. Bryan was our server and was very polite and a great server. Had breakfast the next day and we requested to sit where we could look over Waikiki Beach. Had steak and eggs and the steak was of great quality and price. Bryan again was our server and again was a great server. Vacation period 8-4-2014 to 8-14-2014

Craig W.

Went for dinner, wasn't that busy -after 1 1/2 hours still didn't have food in front of us. Party next to us had the mother fall asleep waiting to be served. We left before food arrived.

Sarah W.

Your average beach bar, good food, great live music but really crowded! They have a good happy hour with reasonably priced stuff but $10 drinks normally just like the bars that are actually on the beach.

Watah H.

Worst customer service ever. Thought I lost my wallet there before paying my tab and they demanded my cell phone as collateral for a $70 tab....I need my phone to get home....wtf? No aloha spirit at this tourist trap. Now I hear from the owner...with all the facts wrong. I offered my cell phone as collateral? Iphone5s Gold for a $70 tab? Who fricken would offer their last connection to the modern world for a bar tab? I'd rather go to jail with my phone. Lying staff, bad food...and there were tourist witnesses to my account...we may live on an island, but our info goes all over the world. Thank you Yelp.

Jeremy S.

We have been to lulu's several times but it had been a year since we visited. The food was ok this time but the drinks were horrible. The margaritas tasted like flavored water and the Pina cola da was good but I think it tasted like a virgin drink. Wondering if something has changed with ownership. Used to love it but would hesitate to recommend it now.

Grace B.

This was the closest breakfast spot to our hotel, and we wanted something with a view. We liked the open airiness of it too. Sat down at the counter area with bar stools overlooking the ocean, our server was OK, not that friendly, just quick to the point. Only came to us when he really needed to, like taking our order, serving the food, and dropping the check. Started off with an overpriced half of a papaya with lime for $6. It was not in vain though cause it have us the brilliant idea of just buying papaya and limes at the grocery store and doing it ourselves. I ordered two eggs with Portuguese sausage, toast, and corned beef hash. Simple, yet fulfilling breakfast. Hubbs ordered an omelette which had Portuguese sausage in it along with other things, and corned beef hash on the side. Overall what stands out is the corned beef hash, and Portuguese sausage. It was my first time trying breakfast sausage that wasn't the standard, and it was so good, the only way id order sausage in the mainland if they had it. The corned beef hash was also a unique side that no other breakfast place I've been to has, and who doesn't love meat and potatoes? Yum! All in all id come back here at least once if I was visiting the area again. The view and corned beef hash would bring me back.

Patrick R.

Love this place. Great location overlooking the famous Waikiki beach. Great open restaurant, very inviting and comfortable. Nice staff, amazing breakfast. Check it out.

Laura S.

Perfect! Total locals' bar kind of feel...awesome views if you can snag seats along the outside. Unique menu and super efficient staff. Would happily go back for more meals -- and definitely drinks!

Victoria H.

My first time here was on a Monday night and let me tell you, for a Monday night this place sure is happening. It was "industry" night, whatever that means, with about a 5-10 minute wait line and the cover was $10 unless you're on the guest list. The crowd is young, like barely 21 with braces from high school still on kind of young. There was a live DJ and getting a drink took a while, but the bartenders were snappy making multiple at a time. It was $14 for a vodka & red bull and an amaretto sour, so prices were decent. Something to note: it gets hot! So many warm bodies dancing around, it's okay to sport those shorts and flip flops. The attire is in between slutting it up and indie beach bum. It's a fun place to spend a Monday night, but expect to get cozy with some strangers because everybody is packed in tightly.

Shawn E.

The view of the strip and ocean were great but our server was not very attentive and was extremely forgetful. I had the "Angry Hog" pulled pork sandwich which looked to be a well prepared sandwich and nicely portioned, but it was almost too salty to eat. If you're looking for a beer and a view, this is the place; but if you want some good quick food, keep walking.

LV N.

Try the Ahi sandwich! Like a grilled cheese with a big chunk of Ahi inside. Yum Yum Yum Yum Yum.

Platinuminkoc R.

This place was fast and amazing with food to die for ... the view here is awesome .... thank you Lulu's

Unfortunately, entirely based on the service, this restaurant gets just 3 stars. When I arrived, knowing it was a tourist trap, I had already lowered my expectations. The view of the ocean is beautiful and obstructed only by the plumeria trees. The sign in the doorway said to see the hostess at the other entrance. I walked over and no one was there. I milled about for a few moments before walking over to the bartender to ask what the situation was. The hostess finally came over. If you see a customer walking around your restaurant with no apparent destination, someone should ask if they need help. When I was finally seated my waitress came over and took a drink order. I asked for coffee with regular milk. A few moments later I got coffee, but no milk. She told me they had creamers on the tables and asked if I wanted milk. I said yes. She came back with a small glass of regular milk. I ordered the black and blue Benedict with corned beef hash. However, I ordered my poached eggs hard, and they came extremely runny. When I try to signal my waitress, or any of the wait staff, there was no one around. There were a few talking at the bar, my waitress talking to someone at the other side of the restaurant, and the hostess at the hostess stand. After a few minutes trying to get someone's attention to no avail, I walked over to the hostess stand. I understand that Hawaiians are typically friendly, but you have a job to do. Breakfast this day was not very busy and there is no excuse for the wait time or inattentiveness. After speaking to someone I presume is the manager, service picked up greatly. Not just for me, but for the other patrons as well. The wait staff and hostess all seemed to be more engaged. The food was better than I expected. The second time around, my breakfast came out exactly as I ordered it. The fish was spicy, the English muffin toasted well and the eggs poached hard. The house made corned beef hash was quite good. Coffee refills? Check. Milk? Check. They did not just reheat or reuse my original breakfast, they remade it completely. Yes, that is what supposed to happen, but we all know it doesn't always. If they could have provided that level of service from the beginning, I would have been a much happier patron. They seem to have pride in what they do and the food they serve, but they should do it without prompting from an unhappy customer. I would love love love to come back here and be able to give them the four star rating. Definitely worth a try, if you are in the neighborhood.

Beautiful place over looking waikiki beach. The best wings, 20 of the best wings for $15 Nice servers and a good selection of beer. Not crowded at all!

This review is for their breakfast, of which I recommend you eat while enjoying the views of the pacific from the counter under the windows. The prices were fair for the location, in my opinion. Their "big kahuna" omelette was stuffed full of kalua pig ($11) and came with a choice of side and toast. The "bacon and eggs" was just as it sounds with applewood bacon, choice of side, and toast ($9). Both were quite tasty. Coffee is diner-grade and $3 a cup, but our server did a great job of making sure our cups were never empty. The wait for a table was less than the wait for the food, but we were content to sip the mediocre coffee while people watching.
