What type of services does Lula Mae Bistro offer? Restaurant featuring Southern Favorites with a little French Flair! How long have you been in business? The business was initiated in July of 2024 How did you get started in your business? After 47 years in financial services, I decided to pursue the passionate dream of owning and running a restaurant that embraces all members of the lovely community in which I wanted to live. Any fun facts or other information you’d like the community to know about you or your business / organization? Lula Mae will offer full service, “to go” or delivery within the Terrell community What is something no one knows about you or your business? My hope is to make each person feel special and to cater to their culinary needs with great ingredients, fun foods, and the best service possible.
