Lulu’s of Gulf Shores

Thanks to a tip from Ruth Givens, we knew to try Lulu’s of Gulf Shores when taking our beach vacation.  We were so thankful for the tip!  I could not find another non-chain restaurant to accommodate us.  Given the sheer number of visitors, I was quite surprised at the utter lack of awareness about gluten intolerance.  Thinking that the more upscale restaurants would be more likely to know about gluten, I called a few, including Wintzell’s.  Apparently the Montgomery restaurant is more progressive, as the manager at the Orange Beach Wintzell’s was not interested in accommodating us.  After speaking with another manager, she seemed flustered and asked, “You do know that we are a seafood restaurant?” 
So enough of the discouraging news and let me give a big plug for Lulu’s.  I do not know why, but Lulu’s is all over multiple allergens.  A manager personally takes your order and retrieves your order from the kitchen.  We ate there twice and the whole family was happy!
