At the heart of LuLu's Gulf Shores lies a treasure trove of culinary delights, a menu bursting with fresh flavors that celebrate the richness of coastal cuisine. 

Diners are consistently abuzz over Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Gumbo. This Louisiana staple is a LuLu's family recipe that's been passed down from generation to generation. The Roux is hand-stirred... "until your arm falls off!"

It is served with your choice of LuLu's Ginger Lime, Mojo Sauce, LuLu's Sassy Salsa, or LuLu's Wow Sauce. Choose grouper, jumbo shrimp, chicken tenders, mahi mahi, or slow-smoked pork for protein.
