Beepa and Lulu’s restaurant — Restaurant in Peterborough

This was our first time visiting. The couple we came with has been here before for breakfast & lunch. However, the establishment has just recently started dinner service 3 nights a week.

We did not order cocktails, but the other couple did and said they were outstanding!

We opted to order onion rings as an appetizer ( listed as a side on their menu), and they were crispy, hot, and tasty.

One of our party ordered a side Ceasars salad and stated it was quite good.

Main courses ordered were:

The dinner special - chicken medallions on orzo with sweet pea puree. Her portion was so large she could not finish it however, she stated it was quite nice.

Fish & chips - a huge piece of battered fried halibut that was almost the size of the entire plate served on top of seasoned French fries and a side of coleslaw. Tartar sauce was included. He stated it was quite tasty, but the fries were a bit soft. Perhaps from the steam/ heat of the fish laid on top. Otherwise, he was quite pleased with his meal and left a good portion of fries behind.

My hubby had the meatloaf. 2 large slices served with mashed potatoes and seasoned asparagus. His only complaint was that as he ate his meal the asparagus cooled off too quickly and wasn't as tasty as the first bite while hot. He finished all but the asparagus.

I had the chicken piccatta with lemon butter caper sauce on thin spaghetti and two slices of griddled toasted garlic bread. I was happy to see they did not go crazy on the capers. The dish was only served with one piece of chicken and a serving for 4 of pasta. The chicken was tender and tasty, and personally, I would have liked 2 pieces of chicken and less pasta. The sauce was a bit too thin and was quickly absorbed by the pasta, so it was more like having buttered noodles. A bit of cream in the sauce would help with that. The griddled garlic toast was excellent.

Service was...

The first thing the guest sees as they enter is a full wall assemblage of the US flag, police flag, & firefighter flag with the caption “We proudly support our military & first responders” This affirmation conjures the popular belief that the cop milieu includes purveyors of quality diner fare. Regardless of their politics, the guest expects delicious food & service. But Beepa & Lulu’s is a microcosm of contemporary America generally: more energy & resources seem to have been allocated to the cop-themed decoration (including ornamental cameras), cop-themed conversation between the staff about cop husbands & cop friends, and (if their assertion that they support cops is true)donations to police departments, than the basic functions of a restaurant. It took 10 minutes to be seated, another 15 minutes to get a coffee (mediocre at best) 5 more minutes to place an order, and 20 minutes for 2 eggs, hash, and toast to arrive. The eggs were cold. The toast was soaked in some kind of vegetable oil. The hash was uninspired. The only reason to come to Beepa & Lulu’s is to observe peak police-state-depleted culture. Go somewhere else if you’d like to eat decent food in a hospitable environment. I wrote this whole review in the time it took for the server to pick up and charge my...

I have no words for the experience. When I entered the business something seemed off. Started off alright but after having to wait for cream for the coffee and asking two different people for it and when my husband asked for the third time received an attitude from the waitress and was told that he yelled at her. NOT seems to me someone was overly sensitive. An then for another waitress to come over and apologize for not bringing the cream and then saying he was being disrespectful in his request. I guess you have to whisper when talking to the waitstaff? Then as we were discussing the situation, she said she could pull the film to see if he was yelling. I don’t know how you would determine that unless the camera has sound. I was happy to leave there and go somewhere else to enjoy my breakfast. I hope the staff doesn’t treat other customers that way. Apparently they don’t as long as you don’t ask for something that should have been brought to you with your coffee. All together this has been the strangest experience I have...
