First, the positives, then the bad!!! Server was super nice, but we had a 1 hr wait before being seated, then another hour to receive food! After the longest wait, we received our food. All of it was AWFUL! Pimento burger had hardly no pimento. Po'boy sandwich was dry, no sauces etc. SUPER bland. It was fried shrimp on bread, with a piece of lettuce, 1 pickle slice, and a slice of tomato. Dry as a bone! The gumbo had vegetables that weren't all the way cooked down, it was supposed to be shrimp and crab. NO crab in the whole bowl... FIRST AND LAST VISIT! The gift shop and waiting area was super cool. Too bad the food was TERRIBLE! read more

The atmosphere was very nice. But the time to get the food was over an hour and one of the kids entrees did not come out with the rest. Was told they were cooking a new batch still had not come out when we all finished. Had to get a manager and she brought it right out. So we waited for her to eat. Got some margaritas which were watered down and could not drink. To me for the money the food was not that great. Service was not so good since we only seen her a couple times and we had to get manager to get the whole order. We will not go back but like i said the atmosphere was nice. read more

Great dinner place in Destin if you are looking for a view and fish! I have been to lulus in gulf shores and Destin, and this was definitely the better location. The mahi platter was amazing and comes with very tasty hush puppies. The grouper tacos were good, but I preferred the mahi platter. Chips and salsa EXCELLENT, you must try. The mojitos were yummy. Excellent view of the water and live music. I don't have kids but would love to take them here if I did, since they have an arcade and a nice play area! read more

We visited in the evening of a Saturday There was a 25 minute wait but it looked pretty dead. Our waitress princess was super quick and very sweet while taking our orders and getting our drink she made sure that we had full drinks the whole time as well as checked on us promptly when the food came They have a very large parking lot and they do have busy times which would be prime time dinner They have live music, which is Bluegrass/country vibe We had the kids fish sticks, which were fried crispy sandwich, chips, or fries and ketchup, We also had the fish and shrimp dinner, which I shared with my husband. It was a little bit salty, but other than that no issues. read more

Fun night hanging out with our Caldwell Banker Realtor Blue Wave Group, treating us to drinks and buffet. Great way to see Our Friends and Lulu's together. Great Cocktails and the food was delicious! We hammed up the Photo Booth. We didn't have the nerve to try the TV Filming. The wait staff was on point and left nothing untouched. Thank you too Lulu's and the Blue Wave Group for such a memorable evening. read more

Was just OK for me. Service was nothing to write home about and the food didn't stand out compared to other spots in Destin. Not terrible, but I wouldn't rush back. Beautiful location though. read more

Great family restaurant, the kids had an awesome time playing in the sand area. Service was friendly and quick. The drinks are awesome here. We got the crab melt and it was good, could've used a little more seasoning but that's prob just my Louisiana palate talking lol was a great atmosphere and we'll def be back read more

The ambience and open air beach vibe is nice. The food, however, was not the best TO ME. Looked good but flavor wasn't great, needed more seasoning, and I would've enjoyed the fish grilled a touch longer. Waitress did the bare minimum. read more

Food was great. Loved the music. Service was right on. Love how it never feels crowded. View is spectacular!

Food was pretty good, but you really come for the atmosphere and kid-friendly environment. We ordered the fried green tomatoes as an appetizer and it was yummy! My husband and I shared the Big Fry Basket. The crab claws were good and we loved the unicorn fish (had never tried it before). My mom ordered the shrimp and grits - good but VERY rich. Again, this place is fun for groups with kids as they can play in the sand while waiting and there's an arcade. read more

Lulu's is a beach bar/restaurant with a big menu and bright colors - the food is what you'd expect from just that. It was all good and pretty standard. They have burgers, sandwiches, tacos, quesadillas, etc. so if you're with a group of people, it's a good option. Everything on the menu is super simple and felt generically what you'd expect for a beach bar and grill type place. One big tip - skip the hour+ wait and head out back to the bar area!! You can order food from the full menu, the bartenders are super friendly and quick, and you get the water/bridge view. 10x better than sitting inside and a huge time saver. read more

Really Great food, location was good too, atmosphere was really good. at the time service was great in and out with no issues.

We had lunch there today. As someone that requires dairy-free options I was impressed that Lulu's had a complete menu of allergen and 'free' options that they took very seriously. A manager took my specific order and brought the order to me. The options were excellent and my order of a fish sandwich was very good. This restaurant is highly recommended for this reason. read more

Awesome food and service. Had the lightly blackened grouper and the yellow cuban rice. Onion rings and fried okra for appetizers. Shrimp po'boy 2nd time with the chicken andouille gumbo (I rate it a 4). The wife and days had quesadillas first time and chicken tenders and crab melt. These were great. We came with a party of ten. Music was good but a little loud making it hard to carry conversation. The staff was friendly and very accommodating. read more

Fun place to eat. Indoor and outdoor seating. A Sandy play area for kids on the water. Owned by LuLu (jJimmy Buffets sister). Quick service. Good cocktails. Food was good. Appetizers were our "go to" as it was a late lunch. We enjoyed everything we tried. Shrimp, chips and dip, and fried blue crab claws. My pina colada was perfect. Live music in the afternoons. read more

The food in excellent but the service is awful. We quit going a few years ago but decided to give it another try. Yep, awful service.

Went last night with friends for dinner. It was a Thursday evening around 5:30 and our wait time was 1 hour 45 min . The kids had a blast playing around which was great and it was a fun atmosphere to catch up with old friends. However... 35$ for the half & half seafood combo was a joke! Small portions and DRY fried unicorn fish !!! My husband says Captain D's has better fish than this place!! He said it was the worst meal he's had on vacation all week. read more

The food was good, our fish was a little overcooked but still good. Service was fine. The vibe is great there, on the water, fresh air.

Tatter waiting 2.25 hours on a 1 hour wait we finally turned pager back in. Been there a few times in the past but went way down hill.

The food was amazing along with the service! There is a whole outdoor area for the kids to play and the live music was great! read more

AVOID shrimp and crab gumbo is TINY even if you order a bowl. It is served in a TO GO PLASTIC CONTAINER. It is EXTREMELY SALTY and tastes DAYS OLD. Waitress was very sweet and kind. The burger and drinks were good. read more

Great food - great service- great view - great times! What's not to love? Shop while you wait.

Food was terrific and the wait staff was super helpful and friendly. We always had our drinks filled and they came around checking on us just enough that we weren't bothered or neglected. It's a fun and easily recommended place for tasty food after a long day at the beach read more

Nice atmosphere and customer service. Got the grouper salad. Fish was cooked well (not over/undercooked) and the house made salad dressings are very good - better than any bottled dressings. Also got the smoked tuna appetizer and really liked it. Could taste the dominoes without it being overpowering and the tuna was fresh. read more

The service & food was very good. The shrimp tacos were great with taste shrimp. The wedge salad was excellent. Great entertainment We'll be back read more

Food was just ok. The service was bad. First, sat down at a table it took 20 minutes to get a server to come to the table and it was not busy at all. After placing order sever forgot to bring the salad(s). When she did bring it, did not get silverware I had to get my own. It took a long time to get food. Sever stated that the kitchen was backed up however, it was not busy, many open tables. I live in the area and will not go back. read more

Great place for kids food ehhhh. I'll save you $40 and recommend not to get the crab claw app. All I'm gonna say.

Very fun atmosphere. The live music is seasonal apparently and there wasn't any when we went unfortunately. They have their own little side beach with some games like corn hole and chairs to sit. I just had the crab dip appetizer as my meal and it was Soo good! Filling enough to be a meal if you don't share. Also had the key lime cocktail drink but virgin. It was huge. I think with liquor is the same size. I would recommend to others. read more

This is a fun atmosphere and definitely a place for a great time. The staff was friendly and professional and the drinks were cold. Lulu's has three locations and this particular location is in Destin, Florida. Overall, Lulu's is a fun, cool place. read more

Just go in knowing this is in the Jimmy Buffet franchise and therefore it is what is... The view at this location is spectacular, especially at sunset! But the food is a mass produced somewhat bland. We had the Shrimp Tacos and Crab Nachos and you really had to search for any kind of spice or flavor in both dishes. Our server was friendly but absent, not checking on us at all. This was the off season in September '22 and the restaurant was far from packed. I doubt I will be back to this or any other location of LuLu's. read more

If your looking for a good place to eat litteraly right on the beach next to the Mid Bay Bridge, this is the spot, pretty much have anything you can want to eat here, would give it 5 stars but service is often pretty slow even on non busy days, still would highly recommend. read more

We were so excited to try Lulu's! We arrived and the bartender at the main bar was great! The drinks were great and the atmosphere was fun. We loved the outdoor area while we waited. The wait was 60-90 minutes but it didn't feel as long because of the outdoor seating area & fun things to do. But when we got to our table things went way downhill. We were at our table 1 hour and 40 minutes for dinner. In addition to the time where we were waiting for a table (over an hour). Our waitress brought our food out before the other half of the table and we finished completely before they got theirs. I asked for a to-go box before they even got theirs. Our waitress looked overworked to be honest but her attitude completely ruined all of the sympathy I had for her regarding being understaffed. She was incredibly combative when we mentioned the poor service and long wait times. She circled around our table multiple times ignoring us, and helping other tables while we were left without water and half of us were without food. It was just terrible honestly and I love to go out to eat and usually am very easy to please but this was bad. read more

Came back for the second time on our trip because my family forced me. I just wanted Taco Bell. But anyway, I got the cheeseburger and a sweet tea. Burger was very good except for the sweet pickles which is just nasty to put on a burger and I think I might press charges. Sweet tea was very good! Will be back on our next trip to Destin! A/C was working a little bit better this time. A little slow service. read more

This place had the best coconut shrimp I've ever had. The cost was very reasonable and the staff was so nice and knowledgeable.

LuLu's was ok. Beautiful setting on the bay & being a Sunday night in mid-October, there was no wait. Daniella was friendly, possibly new, but gave service with a smile. Still, as w/most Destin seafood spots, prepare to lay out some money. $32 for fish/shrimp combo, slaw, fries & hush pups. Fish is termed black grouper & and was nicely prepared but not our favorite consistency. The shrimp were good but fried maybe 30 seconds too long. Wife got shrimp-corn bisque, which was very good. read more
