I was impressed with the quality of the gluten free subs and it was only $10 for a foot long sub, not much more than the regular one which is nice considering gluten free options elsewhere are always so expensive. I definitely would stop here again!

Our server was awesome! My biggest issue is that there is no gluten-free breakfast bread.

It’s sort the of unfair to say “rate Lulu’s.” There are 5 locations, 4 in Allen county and 1 in Logan county. The one in Logan county is at Indian Lake and is the only one that is open all day, it becomes a bar at night; the rest close at 2pm. Let’s start by saying they are all really good. They have a decent breakfast/lunch menu that will satisfy any age. There is plenty for those on Adkins or gluten-free. Meals are primarily $5-$15 and are filling. Again, rating them as a whole would be unfair because of staffing, parking, cleanliness, but I have been to them all and can easily rate them from 1-5, 1 being the best. So… 1. Lulu’s at the Lake, best for staff, room, and parking 2. Lulu’s Wapakoneta, cleanest, nicest layout, most modern, and good parking 3. Lulu’s Bluffton, best food, good layout and great service 4. Lulu’s Bellfountaine Ave, good with a couple of great waitresses but when that are off, it’s average. Parking is good but can be tough to get there n and out of 5. Lulu’s Sencerville Rd (the original) It’s tight and parking is the same, especially if it’s full. It’s up and down but is by far the lowest rated of the 5. Mind you overall, I gave Lulu’s 5-stars as a while. So, there it is. If you stayed to the end, you got it all
