Full-Service Restaurant & Bar Located in the Lakewood Neighborhood

We opened in April of 2023 in the former Davis Baking Co. building. We are delighted to breathe new life into this historic and beautifully crafted architectural landmark here in Durham, NC.

Did we mention we have a full bar and rooftop? We named the bar “The Davis Baking Co. Lounge” as an homage to what was here before.

Durham Says…

  • Lula & Sadie’s is such a treat. It’s a great date spot day or night. We sat on the roof top at the end of September and it was such a vibe! My husband and I truly enjoyed the experience and can’t wait to go back! I have loved the meatloaf at this spot for many years and it never misses. My husband can’t wait to go back and try the cowboy steak! The staff was so helpful and welcoming!

  • The brunch here is SO delicious! Best brunch spot we’ve been to in the Triangle. The menu is very creative while still paying homage to classic Southern fare, and the pricing is very reasonable for the portions. We loved the breakfast poutine and red velvet waffles, and we especially loved their living wage model for their employees!

  • We had an awesome experience at Lula and Sadie’s! Our waitress was kind and attentive, and she offered a great recommendation for the mac and cheese. We loved the catfish plate and fried green tomatoes, and we’ll definitely be back to try out more menu items!

  • The food is fresh and delicious and gives you an unforgettable experience of flavors. The Staff are friendly and attentive. Easily one of the best southern cuisine spots I've been to in this area of the south.

  • Excellent service, delicious food, great vibes. The Biscuit & Sausage Gravy dish is out of this world!!! I loved the first visit so much, I brought a large group with me a week later for a bday brunch. They were very accommodating for us and everyone left anticipating their next trip. Lula and Sadie’s is now one of my Durham staples.

  • I have yet to have a dish I do not like! The food is delicious and has an updated take on Southern cuisine. The catfish is phenomenal, the red velvet waffles are to die for, the rice and beans have a nice flavor, and the "Angry Yard Bird" Mac-N-Cheese is my favorite item on the menu. The servers are always in a good mood, and the atmosphere is chill. I can't wait to go back and try something new.
