Mr Lu's Seafood & Burgers [19]

"If you've walked by the outside of Mr. Lu's, you realize why its taken me 53 restaurants to get here. However..."- Mike McEvoy

Maybe it's all of the neon colors in the restaurant. Maybe it's the cultural rift that seems prevalent between seafood, Mr. Lu's, and burgers. But, it took a day like today for Mike to make it up to Mr Lu's. A day where not much was going on and he could leave half way through the day if he were to become sick from burgers and seafood.

Mr Lu's is located at the Ave and just south of 50th. When they walked in the owners were tapping away on their laptops and then jumped to work at the sight of new customers. It was more funny than representative of bad service. When Mike first looked at the menu the $1.95 onion ring basket was staring him down. They specialize in 3 things at Mr. Lu's: Beef Burgers, Chicken Burgers, and Fish Burgers. All of them are reasonably priced at around $5.95 for a burger and fries. Their specialty though is the Blackened Salmon Burger and it was priced at $7.75. It was interesting tasting in a good way with a lot of 1,000 island sauce. Mike enjoyed his choice but he wouldn't get that same thing again.

Mike would go back to Mr Lu's and it far exceded his expectations. It was no Chipotle, but it's no Best Of Bento.
