| - I've been looking for a decent bar and grill on the east side of Madison that isn't a chain. Lulu's 13 fits the bill. There are friendly staff, good food, great drinks, and TV's everywhere! This restaurant is located directly off of the food court in the East Towne Mall. I went with my husband and 5 year old daughter, and the visit started off great with my daughter picking out a toy from their toy bucket, which kept her busy until the food came. The waitstaff was very friendly and attentive. The kids menu was large, with each entree served with a bag of Oreos and your choice of sides. The regular menu was varied and had some great choices. My husband and I got burgers, and the only reason that this restaurant got 4 stars instead of 5 is that their patties were obviously pre-made. The toppings were fantastic - I got a Mac n cheese burger that obviously had Mac n cheese on top, but they added Cheetos as well, which created some great texture. My husband had a burger with BBQ sauce, cheddar, and bacon, and we both agreed the toppings were awesome while the burger lacked flavor. I got the L13 tots with mine, which were amazing - essentially potato croquettes with cheese and bacon in the middle. My husband got the largest onion rings I've ever seen, which had a great breading. All in all, this place is a welcome addition to East Madison and we'll definitely be returning!
