I loved everything about this place starring from the patio. I loved all the outdoor seating. The drink selection was great, a lot of tummy options. The food was the star (as it should be) I had the chicken, it was very moist and delicious. Plus I had some really tasty country style BBQ means, all topped off with some corn bread. Hands down one of the best BBQ spots I've been to in a while. read more

We had a good experience here! Went in a Saturday and sad outside- cute shop in a great location! Fun atmosphere and we were sat and served quickly- food was very good BBQ place food... I had a salad with BBQ chicken on top- my husband had the beef rib special- it was pretty awesome! Boys had spicy chicken sandwich with fries etc. overall good experience- service was spotty at times as they could have used less hostesses and more wait staff! Waited a while for water and the beef rib came out about 5 minutes after the other meals- but fun lively yummy place! The frozen marg beer mixture looked amazing! read more

I'm from Texas so I think I know a thing or two...about....BBQ!!! Came here on a Sunday afternoon and the weather was gorgeous. Restaurant's windows and doors were open and they had plenty of patio seating. The food comes out quickly so if you are coming with a starving group, PERFECT! The wings were not fried but so full of flavor and plump! From the brisket to the ribs to the sausage everything was tender, juicy, and delicious! If you like spicy sweet bbq sauce then lather up with their Lulu BBQ sauce. Did I mention they also have beer and sweet potato tater tots? Yah, don't worry...I'll be back...again and again. read more

Been here a couple times - our last time had some highs and lows. Long story short, we sat on the patio - and out of nowhere my husband passed out. Thankfully he came to rather quickly - but in the 30 seconds or so when he was unconscious it was the table next to us that was responsive enough to call the paramedics. The staff did come to check on us, and we ended up going to the hospital (mostly as a precaution and to check everything out), however I was a little upset that we got our lunch (we packed it to go and ate it later in the hospital), but we got charged for the couple beers we ordered, and I barely sipped on when "the incident" occurred. Overall the service (last time and previously) was just okay - I can't imagine coming here when it's much busier. The staff was fairly helpful in my little meltdown, the real kudos goes to the table next to us and the Louisville Paramedics. read more

Today I think I entered BBQ heaven. At a lot of BBQ places you get one good thing and some others that are "just ok" and everything today was fabulous so it's earning that coveted 5th star! Was visiting Louisville for work and stopped for a quick lunch. Service at the door and at my table was super friendly and efficient. I got the 1/2 1/2 dinner - ribs and brisket. Brisket was tasty, juicy, without being overly fatty. Normally the juicy briskets have to be super fatty, so I appreciated the texture/flavor w/o relying too much on fat. Ribs were the same. Plus, my portion was perfect. Super hungry eaters may be left wanting more but I appreciated the reasonable portion (and price - only $16!) Mac and cheese - normally this is overdone or overrated, but it was perfectly creamy and I loved the corkscrew noodles Veg - Not some throwaway. It was fresh and seasoned broccoli, not some BS overly cooked or frozen veg. Again, truly hit on all cylinders. I may have REALLY good something somewhere that also has some "meh" food but everything today was on point! read more

Went on a weekday afternoon and it wasn't too crowded, which was nice. Not sure if they are busier at night or not, but would be worth a short wait if they were. Our server was great, he told us about what their specials were in detail. Which actually sold my friend on ordering the gumbo. He loved it! He also, was good on explaining the beers they had on tap. I was in from out of town and wasn't as familiar with the local beers. We started out with the fried pickles.. a must try if you are here!! I got a combo plate of brisket and chicken and both were really good. They really have their meats down. The sauce options were pretty good. I was somewhat disappointed in the original. It seemed to me that they tried to hard to make their sauces different. I liked them okay, but would have been happier with more classic options. Overall I'd go back here the next time I'm in town. read more

Ordered a Texas slush which is beer and a margarita mixed it was delicious and definitely packed a bang, I was litty after 3. Ordered a brisket melt with brisket cheese and mushrooms it was hangin, would eat 10 if I could, the side of Mac n cheese was good but it was a little cold, in all service was friendly, fast and food was as good as barbecue as you could get from anywhere! read more

Finally a place in CO that has good BBQ. I went here after it was recommended by a co-worker, and he shared a similar view of a rib place in Longmont to mine. He's also from Texas, so he's eat'n BBQ a time or two - But I wasn't hold the part about him being from Texas against him (well too much at least). I really dig the way the place is setup to look like a garage, fits a BBQ joint. The staff was friendly, however our waiter was... slow and not the most attentive person I've ever had wait on me. I wish they would have denoted that the beer we ordered came in cans, but as I said it was set up like a garage, so the cans fit - but not my favorite way to enjoy beer. Because I wanted to try a good variety of their BBQ my wife and I both ordered something different, and an appetizer. Which all of that was way too much food! However we both couldn't pass up on their fired okra - it was very good but needed a tad more salt which was easily cured at the table. We started by splitting an order of the smoked sausage. It had a very nice smoke flavor, reminded me a bit of Hickory Farms sausages. Considering they served it with mustard, I think they were going for that - but personally I think it went best with their BBQ sauce (more on that later). I ordered the brisket dinner with okra and coleslaw. The coleslaw as a bit peppery, nothing like I've had before. I really enjoyed it! The brisket however was a bit overcooked for my liking, and was starting to get flaky, but was still able to be sliced and not just fall apart; but this gave it a bit of a corned beef texture. It was later in the evening, so it is very possible this is just because it was kept warm for a long time. However the flavor was very good, and it wasn't unnecessarily fatty. My wife ordered the pulled pork dinner, with okra and green bean casserole. She said it was the best green bean casserole she's ever had (I hate the stuff). The pulled pork was... AWESOME!!! Really, some of the best I've had. One thing I found odd was that they only had 1 BBQ sauce. It was a very good BBQ sauce, and went well with everything. However it was a sweeter BBQ sauce, so if you like them spicier then I think you'll be disappointed. I admit I was disappointed that they didn't have a spicy one, but the one they had was very good. OOO And unlike that Longmont place, the BBQ sauce is on the table so you can use as much as you want... like it's supposed to be. Why 4 Stars? The combined total of the over cooked brisket, the slow service and the lack of but 1 BBQ sauce makes this a 4 star place. Honestly though, the 1st two will likely vary over time, but with out a little more variety in their BBQ sauces I can't every give them 5 stars. I will however go back to this place when I don't have the time to smoke my own BBQ or am suddenly in the mood for good Q. I am looking forward to trying their ribs the next time I go. read more

Great atmosphere! I sat at the bar, which was very small. I ordered the smoked BBQ chicken wings. They were really good. The bartender was very nice. I love the fact that this restaurant was recommended by my coworkers! I had to come and check out what all the hoopla! I'm glad I did. I enjoyed the BBQ! #SeñorFood read more

I was wanting to try this place for awhile so we stopped in tonight to try it out. Boy what a disappointment on so many levels. The coleslaw was flat and had no flavor. Whoever slings this slop in the back, it's ok to use some salt,sugar,vinegar and pepper. The beans tasted like someone accidentally dumped a Costco sized container of chili powder in it because that's all you could taste. Now on to the Burnt Ends BBQ sandwich I ordered. The meat was all chopped up and the meat was all dried up and over cooked. I figured I would try to put the bbq sauce on BOTH sides of the sandwich to make it palatable. That didn't work because it was so dry. The waiter came to give me the check and I said I'm not paying for that. He then asked what was wrong I said it was so dry and not edible. He said I should have said something sooner and he could have brought me another sandwich with moist meat on it. I figured when he initially asked us if everything was ok and we said ehh at which point he just walked off. No thanks if you are not serving your best from the start I'm not going to complain and hope the kids making this slop in the back wouldn't do something to my food. FYI I know what burnt ends are and what just chopped up dry brisket is. I was served dry chopped brisket. For what a person pays for BBQ they should be doing a lot better. read more

Lulu's BBQ - This is their version of a Burnt Ends sandwich. This was just chopped up dry brisket and tasteless coleslaw. - Barbeque Near Me - Louisville, Colorado

I will preface this review with a disclaimer: my son and I are self-proclaimed BBQ snobs who enjoy really good BBQ and have tried many places around the greater Denver area in search of good Texas and St. Louis style BBQ. Lulu's BBQ was recommended to us by a regular, so we gave it a try, hoping to find another favorite BBQ joint to frequent. We loved the atmosphere the moment we walked in and were greeted and seated promptly. I ordered the three item sampler platter and my son ordered a two item combo. This allowed us to try four sides and all five meats on the menu. Between us we had the cowboy beans, sweet potato tots, mac & cheese and coleslaw. The sweet potato tots were greasy, loaded with additional sugar and tasted like funnel cake. The coleslaw and mac & cheese were bland and forgettable. However the cowboy beans were very flavorful and were probably the best thing we ate. As for the meats, my personal feeling is that good BBQ should be moist, seasoned and flavorful before you add any sauces. That wasn't the case here. The brisket, pulled pork and ribs were bland and dry, and the sausages tasted like brats you buy at the supermarket. The burnt ends were so tough and dry we couldn't eat them. We also had to douse the meat with sauces to give it flavor and make it edible. Perhaps we visited on an "off" day, but it was enough of an experience to convince us not to return. We gave one star for the cowboy beans and one star for the atmosphere and attentive service. read more

Great Texas style BBQ right in the heart of downtown Louisville. We love everything on the menu, no joke! Plus they have large TVs all over to watch games, and a large outside area to play corn-hole while drinking your favorite beer. We love eating here! read more

I used to love this place. While the vibe is still the same, ever since the pandemic, they habitually run out of SUCH a vast portion of their menu HOURS before they close. Hadn't been in 5 months bc I wanted to give them time to get situated to hopefully resolve this issue to some extent. Came back tonight with fingers crossed and, at 6:30pm, they were out of ribs, chicken, pulled pork, wings, okra... While I'm sympathetic to restaurants' post-pandemic inventory shortages, Lulu's is far and away the most-challenged re: inventory and they appear to be getting worse. Beware: before you plan a dinner outing here after 6:30pm, they will almost assuredly be out of most of nearly all of their entrees. UPDATE: as they continue to yell out items they're "86'ing," the bartender is high-giving the wait staff, all seemingly happy about it. Seems like the owner might not be present/invested or just might not care? Just weird... read more

Lulu's has some good bbq and nice outdoor space! I would recommend the nachos - so good and loaded!! The Mac n cheese was honestly just okay, but still overall delicious food! read more

My husband and I went here for lunch. It was better than I expected. I'm not a huge BBQ fan - in fact, there's only one place I'll go for BBQ. Now there's two! I had the Hot Mess and cornbread. The only thing missing was honey for the cornbread. The sandwich was a great mix of spicy meats and coleslaw. I added more mild sauce to my sandwich and it was delicious! My husband had the nachos and was not disappointed. We shared and I couldn't stop going back for more nachos. I highly recommend this place. My only minor complaint was that when my water was empty, my waiter took it and forgot to bring it back. read more

Very disappointed, the man behind the bar was not very polite, was about 2:15 pm, and place was not very busy. It was my 1st time there and he was impatient that I did not know what I wanted. Then as he waited for me to order he started spiting in a cup because he was chewing tabaco or something. Was totally gross that he spit in a cup off to the side of the he bar. At that point I just wanted to order about anything. I wanted a pound of burnt ends to go, but he said I could only have a half pound, and wanted to know what sides I wanted. I didn't even want any sides. I quickly choose 2 so I could just get out of there. Also, parking was a hassle. I will no go back, just can not handle the spiting in a cup. Just a bad experience. read more

Delicious! I've drove by this place and bookmarked it several months ago and finally got to experience LuLu's! Located in cute downtown Louisville this place is a lot of fun and more importantly has amazing food. My husband ordered a canned beer which came with a camo LuLu's koozie that he got to keep. I ordered the chicken and brisket platter with a side salad and Mac and cheese. The brisket melted in your mouth and the chicken was very moist and cooked perfectly. The noodles for the Mac and cheese were a little too soft for my liking but overall was good. The side salad was delicious! My husband ordered the spicy pulled chicken sandwich which I had a bite of and it was so good! The potato salad was strange and had too much horseradish sauce in it and this was the only thing we didn't like but no biggie there are tons of other side dishes to choose from. Loved the indoor/outdoor atmosphere and the service was very friendly and great! I'll be coming here more often! read more

We were seated immediately, had excellent service, and the food was actually really good. We got our food very quickly after we ordered which was very nice. We got the sampler platter with ribs, brisket, and pulled pork with the garlic mashed potatoes; it came with slaw. All of the meat was perfectly cooked, the potatoes were delicious, and the slaw had great flavor. All of the sauces were great, but we enjoyed mixing the sweet and mild with the smokin hot the best. read more

So delicious! As a Texas native I'd like to think I know good barbecue, and Lulu's checks all those boxes for me!! Delicious sauces, tender meats and they even serve my favorite Texas beer - Shiner! Give them a shot sometime! read more

This place is off the chain! I love everything about it! Foods awesome, the atmosphere is great, and the employees are fun! I try and hit LuLu's up as often as I can! read more

This is the best BBQ in Louisville, but not the best in the area. I give it a 7.5 out of 10. If you are in the area and want brisket and pulled pork it will do, but its not a destination BBQ place. read more

The best bbq in the area. If you aren't hungry get meat on a side salad. To go Texas slush is well worth the effort.

Food is very good. We loved the briskets and ribs. The kid's serving size is huge. Took one star off as it is impossible to get ahold of them. The phone is always busy. read more

Good barbecue. Busy place. I went with a group (there were nine of us) on a Thursday night, and the food is pretty great. I got the spicy pulled chicken sandwich, and while there was a kick to it, it wasn't too intense (mixed feelings). The asparagus was underwhelming and could have used more seasoning, but that was easily remedied with the salt shaker. One of our group is originally from Texas, and she said it's good barbecue even by her standards, so that should tell you something. Since we were a larger group, we sat in the back where there was open seating and ordered at the bar, and my biggest issue was the timing of food. The first four of us got our food very quickly, but then the rest of our group didn't get any food until the rest of us had finished eating for a while. One girl placed an order to go before the second half of the group had gotten their food, and we all had to wait around for about half an hour for them to finish that order as well. Overall, it was a good place that wasn't terribly expensive. Just don't go if you have any time constraints. read more

Disappointing to say the least. I've heard great things about this local barbecue joint and yet I question if the regulars have ever had true barbecue.The service was really nice so it truly had nothing to do with the atmosphere or staff. The barbecue was quite dry and calling the ribs Texas style is a disgrace to the state itself. They claim their meat to be unbeatable but perhaps they meant unbeatable because it's so darn tough. read more

Delicious brisket sliders awesome cornbread tasty macaroni and cheese. Very good service. We enjoyed it very much.

A big group of us cyclists showed up at 1:30pm with no reservation or advance warning. The friendly staff immediately pushed some tables together to accommodate all 12 of us. The waiters were quick with the drink orders and very patient as we all had modifications to our food orders. Everyone seemed to like the meat, and the three vegetarians were thrilled to find lots of non-meat options. I had the tofu, which was hearty and savory, while my friends raved about the veggie tacos. And when it was time for the check, our waiter was again Superman - he had a portable register that printed out all the different single checks or combo checks necessary, and ran our credit cards right then and there. None of the usual awkward calculations usually associated with large groups splitting the check. It was a super-smooth ending to a wonderful lunch. I wish I lived closer to go more often! read more

Awesome customer service and relaxing atmosphere. We went for the ribs and the brisket sandwich and loved both. Juicy and perfectly smoked! We will definitely be back on our next trip to Louisville. Thanks for a great lunch! read more

Absolutely outstanding menu and Friday night specials. The smoked wings are dynamite as is their beer menu. Great patio and they close it in during the winter. Great downtown Louisville restaurant! read more

I really like their hot sausage links, they were spicy with lots of flavor. Ribs were good and flavored with their sweet and mild sauce. I preferred their hotter sauce and the mustard sauce was also very good. Their brisket had very little fat attached to it. Their fried okra were delicious, like tiny tatter tots. Cornbread was a little burnt, but it was good. Not to sweet, pretty good texture. Personally I like it a little more fluffy with jalapeño and honey. read more

I heard great things about LuLus. Billed as Texas BBQ I was excited to try it out. The place has a cool vibe, but the BBQ didn't cut it. We started with smoked wings. They were good but not served very hot. I had brisket and sausage. The BBQ had average bark and very little flavor. It was also not very hot. As another dinner wrote, the sausage was over processed and mealy. My wife said the pulled pork lacked flavor as well. My son had the smoked meatloaf which he said was very good. I had a side of green beans which were very good as well. I really didn't like the sauces. They were more Kansas City than Texas. Overall the food was just average and on the expensive side. The service was good and the atmosphere was lively. For better Texas BBQ try Rudy's in Greeley or Springs. read more

Best bbq in Louisville! I work nearby and have had several lunches here including take out for dinner. I have tried all the meats and everything was fantastic! read more

Trendy restaurant in Louisville that has both indoor and outdoor seating. There's a wood fence with license plates in the outdoor seating that would make a cute background to your next Insta post. Service was great with very kind and attentive staff. If you're vegetarian, they have a tofu bbq + avocado + 2 sides option that looks great. I really enjoyed the garlic mashed potatoes and BBQ sauce they had. read more

Lulu's has never disappointed. I've gone multiple times and always enjoy whatever I get. It tends to get crowded, especially on nice days, but is worth the wait. Last time I went, we started with an order of the fried pickle spears and the sweet potato tots. I liked the pickles, though they were a little spicy for me, but my braver siblings really enjoyed them! I have to say, I think the sweet potato tots were my favorite thing that I've ever had there (which is saying a lot). The sauce that they come with was so good I'm still dreaming about it a couple weeks after having it. I always enjoy getting their 1/2 N' 1/2 plate, its a good option for someone who doesn't want to make any decisions-- you get your choice of 2 meats and 2 sides. Its tons of food but so good its worth the guilt of eating it all. I usually do the pulled pork and sausage which is great. The sausage is slightly spicy to me, but I admit that I am a wimp when it comes to spice. The cornbread is absolutely delicious. I got the fried okra which was also good, but unless you are a huge okra fan I probably wouldn't recommend it over some of the other sides. The beans and the coleslaw are both great too. Will definitely be returning, many times over! read more

Love this place. The dude that waits tables and is wearing the blonde flop hair, he has a personal service way about him that is good, to very good.

Two of us visited this bbq joint after reading all of the positive reviews on Yelp. We weren't all that impressed. First off, this place is pretty small without much seating. We went there on Saturday afternoon. There were probably only about 10 other people eating, yet it was still crowded. We were placed at a table where the wait staff kept bumping into us and the sun from the open window kept blinding us. We wanted to be moved, but there were no other tables for us to move to. As for the food, the sweet potato tots, mac/cheese, and mashed potatoes were all pretty good. The chicken and the brisket, however, was extremely dry and tough. We ended up just taking most of the meat "to go" to feed to our dog later on. One positive thing to note about this place, however, is that they have some very cute wait staff! :-) There are much better bbq places in the area than this. read more
