Comfort food with unique twists, craft beer, and patio
"Lulu’s has one of the best beer selections in Boston, and it’s one of our favorite places to get brunch, especially if you’re sitting outside near the bocce court. The menu is mostly diner stuff, but it gets the job done, particularly in light of the fact that the main reasons you’re here are the drinks and the atmosphere. If you’re getting brunch after a night of drinking too much, then you should probably get the white trash hash with egg, short rib, and tater tots)." - dan secatore
"Fun Dad always orders another round, makes bad food puns in front of the waiter, and talks about wanting to “close the place down” even though everyone knows he’s going to be back at the hotel by 9:00, and asleep on the bed in front of HGTV by 9:30. Take him to Lulu’s in Allston which not only has one of the best selections of craft beer in Boston (Fun Dad’s official drink of choice), but also a bocce court on the back patio where he can challenge any takers while waiting for his smash burger." - dan secatore
"Lulu’s has one of the best beer selections in Boston, and it’s one of our favorite places to get brunch, especially if you’re sitting outside near the bocce court. No matter what meal you come here for, you’ll find a menu of diner food that was sent to an etiquette coach - so a lot of things that are fried are served alongside a lot of things that came from a farm or a local bakery. If you’re here for dinner, the fried chicken breast with honey butter is a good place to start. And if you’re here for brunch after a night of having a little too much to drink, you’re pretty much legally obligated to get the white trash hash with egg, short rib, and some great tater tots." - dan secatore
"With its nice shaded patio, Lulu’s may be the most pleasant restaurant in a part of Allston where red Solo cups usually litter the sidewalks. If you haven’t been here since graduation, know that they now have a bocce court in addition to a menu of comfort foods that could cure any hangover. Order the White Trash Hash, toss a few bocce balls outside, and reminisce about all the nearby bars that once confiscated your fake ID." - dan secatore
"Good brunch, good beer, good outside seating: Lulu’s Allston is an asset to the neighborhood. Brunch is available seven days a week (until 3 p.m.), and the kitchen stays open until 10:30 p.m. (11:30 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays). On the menu: duck confit poutine, short rib mac and cheese, loaded burgers, and more." - Rachel Leah Blumenthal
