"Good food and friendly service for first-timers! My husband and I shared the alligator bites, which were very good. I ordered the smothered pork chops and he had the Salisbury steak. Both were delicious with large portions. Dessert was also enjoyable with the chocolate cake and strawberry pie. We had a great server who knew what meals to steer us towards. The restaurant is a bit noisy so keep that in mind. Due to an unexpected three dollar credit card fee added after payment we will not return. Charging customers for card use felt very tacky to us especially with so many other good restaurants that do not pass this cost on to guests."

"I came for lunch once… and then promptly rearranged my schedule to come back the next day. I surrendered to the fried green tomatoes first. Lightly breaded, crisp, and savory, were a sheer appetizer perfection. Then came the Carolina ham biscuits. These beauties were stacked with ham, fried eggs, and sharp cheddar in a way that felt like a culinary mic drop. On my second visit , I repeated the green tomato ritual. Then I ventured into blackened Delta catfish territory. Tender, flavorful, with that subtle swampy note at the end that plays so well with the smoky spices and andouille sausage in the rice. And then there was the Green Mary cocktail. Imagine a Bloody Mary that went to finishing school and came back with a rebellious streak. Charred green tomatoes, a spice blend that leaves a lingering warmth—this drink didn’t just complement the meal; it demanded its own special mention. My personal favorite touch? A photo of what I assume is the original owner, paired with a disclaimer to call your grandma. It’s the kind of detail that makes you feel like you’ve gotten invited into someone’s home."

"Our waiter was great. She gave an honest assessment of the menu. The food was ok. Not quite the flavor I was looking for, but it was decent. The presentation was great. Everything tasted like it had vinegar and sugar. That’s not my preference. But the server was great."

"Sat at the bar and had a good experience. Service was quick and the food and cocktail was pleasant. I ordered the gumbo and it was slightly salty and packed a little punch with the spice but was overall good. For a drink I had the Bee Keeper that was light and refreshing. There were a number of other items that i saw come out that i would like to come back and try."

"Lula Southern Cookhouse was a mixed experience for us. Some dishes were better than others and showed a lot of promise, but the service was relatively slow. It may have just been an off day or a situation where they were understaffed, but everything took quite a long time from start to finish. That said, I’d probably go back to give it another try—especially to check out their brunch, which seems like it could be a highlight."
