Revisit to LuLu's Cafe: Fell off

Recently I revisited LuLu's with a family member.

We were not impressed!

LuLu's Bakery and cafe fell off!

They have increased all of their prices, the fried mushrooms you can no longer get as a side...you can add it for extra, and the portions were smaller.

Usually we get a large portion of mashed potatoes, no we got a small scoop.

The chicken fried steak had more breading than steak, half of my steak was breading!

We spent double of what we would normally spend.

They have redone the entire menu, albeit that it looks nicer, they have taken off all of the history and the "Man vs. Food" part.

The flavor of the food was not quite as good as usual but it was ok, but not for the money spent,

They do not carry Coca-Cola products, and for 2 sodas it was $4.95.

I know that prices need to go up and LuLu has had the same pricing for a long time, however, to increase the pricing by about $3.00 a plate as well as giving out smaller portions is not cool.

The steaks are huge in appearance but now they are mostly breading on the entire outer edge.

Restrooms were dirty and smelled like urine, no paper towels or dryer.  This is an older restaurant and the restaurant itself was clean.

Our table was filthy and we had to clean it ourselves, the wait staff did not clean it. They did not clean after customers left promptly either. When we walked in 5 tables had not been bused and had no customers.

It was louder than usual but we usually go at night too and we went early evening around 3 pm or so.  However, it was so loud it was uncomfortable and we could not hear each other.

Our waitress was fabulous!

I will not be going back for a very very long time.
