lo-lo's chicken & waffles

get the #8 betty boop. succulent bigchickenbreast served with a golden crispy waffle perfectly seasoned. had the red kool-aid yal, its served in a big mason jar. i was in heaven!!!! its a small place, and the line was out the door. there's a reason for that. they're good! i only wished, they took reservations. get there early or you will wait, at least 30mins. but, its worth it!! the hell with my diet.

lo lo'schickenand waffles. went to lo-lo'schickenand waffles after church this morning. the food was good and the cherry kool-aid was great..but as soon as we took our last bite of food the waitress came over and said we needed to leave because the have other customers waiting...this is one place that will never get a dime from me again..if yo...u have that many customer then you need to rent a larger space......

phoenix favorite. if you like great friedchickenor catfish, run, don't walk to lo-lo's. the friedchickenis the best in phoenix. throw in a waffle - yes it's amazing - and a side of beans on rice, greens, mac and cheese and yams and you'll be set for the day, and left-overs tomorrow. yes the neighborhood is a bit rough around the edges, but that adds to the adventure. this is one of our favorite places to go in phoenix. highly recommended.

if you love hot, juicy, perfectly seasoned friedchickenyou have found the right place. lolo's has the best friedchickeni have ever had. once you take one bite you will be hooked. the crispy and savorychickenskin is a treat in itself, and the goodness doesn't stop there. the waffles are perfect everytime and are a lovely complement to thechickenand the all the delectable side dishes. hot cheese grits, eggs, red beans, greens, corn muffins are great and make place perfect for breakfast, brunch, dinner or just whenever you want the best meal of your week.

went to the lo lo's at downtown location last week, and they had the entire parking lott, corded off for valet parking, and if you did nt want your car valet for you , you were told to park out on the street. needless to say, there were no street parking, cuz no one was dumb enough to have their car valeted ( when the entire parking lott was empty!) so needless to say, we left and we wont be returning to that location. major turn off. its hard enough finding parking downtown, without achickenspot requiring you valet your veh, when the whole parking lot is empty, itmakes no sense. good luck to who ever thought that one up. i wont be frequenting that place.

tried coming here on a saturday afternoon and there was a lineup. no line but still busy on a monday afternoon! the catfish and fried green tomato apps were delicious, especially in the accompanying sauce. but you come here for thechickenand waffles. the #3 is the house speciality.

the waffles are like none i've ever tasted. delicious, cinnamon bread-like and definitely plentiful. this along with 3 pieces of chicken. thechickenwas fresh and crispy. flavorful without being overly salty. definitely homemade but not quite as down-home feeling as a couple of other nearby places we tried as well.

definitely glad we came and would recommend trying it out without reservation.

ok i don’t get it, what’s all the hoopla about lo-lo’s?! all the kudos given, the ratings issued – where is it? first off, it takes forever to get seated! second, the service at this (and maybe only) visit of ours, was atrocious – no good ole fashioned southern hospitality here… ‘get you in, eat it up and go about your way’ service technique! no hellos, how are yas’ or thank yous. third, the ‘southern-style’chickenwith eggs, home fries and toast and their betty boobchickenand waffles along with the corn fritters were anything but ‘southern’! from someone who knows and who’s fave food is just that, it is not. from our time in line waiting to be seated, through seating and departure the customer service (or lack thereof) was none existent, abhorrent, lackluster and downright appalling. we were uncomfortable throughout what should have been at worst a reasonably enjoyable experience. but overall our experience is bewildering and are stunned by it’s popularity! unfortunately, lo-lo is a no-no for us.

this is a specialty southern style foods and drink restaurant. on my visit they were on a half hour wait for lunch. we ordered and it took another half hour to be served. i ordered a soul food platter. i got a crispy skinned nicely seasoned moistchickenthigh, a very thickly corn meal breaded (slightly over cooked) piece of cod, above average processed tasting macaroni and cheese, spicy green beans with red potatoes (that seemed over cooked and not tasty) and a giant sort of sweet corn muffin and a very large ball of soft butter. my husband had the #3 lo lo's plate with 3 pieces ofchickenand waffles that was a better value than my plate. it was a nice touch that the syrup was served warm and the waffle was tasty. the service was above average because our server informed us that the food would take a while.

in my visit at lolo’schickenand waffles, was the most greatest experience for a first time customer. i went with friend of mine who has been there and told me that i'm going to love it. when we walked in the waiting area was a little small for busy days, but a really lovely displays and merchandise. when you first walk in you get to see the cooks and employees through a see through glass which is neat. the restaurant was very spotless clean as while the kitchen. the hostess had our table ready within five minutes.

once we sat down we had a warm welcome from our server with a great smile, and ready to get our drinks ready. he said there’s pepsi products and kool-aid. i was shocked that there was kool-aid which i got. the kool-aid was just right and not watered downed. and served in a mason jar which very unique. once the server came with the drinks he started right away with our food! he was nice and pleasant by giving us time to decide. he as while suggested some plates to try for this first time customer.

later, when the food arrived which i had ordered the classicchickenand waffles plate that came with 2 waffles and 3 crispy chicken. the wait for the food was not long at all and came in really hot. often the waiter would suggest if we need anything, he even came and sat down just had a nice conversation with us. he was always there when we needed a refill for our drinks. so my experience at lolo’schickenand waffles was great!!!!!!!!!!!

i ❤chickenand waffles and this place is the bee's knees. i love the atmosphere, the music, the people and of course the food. i've tried different items on the menu and i try to taste something new every time. it doesn't matter what i order, they always nail it. i'm not a huge fan of the new parking situation, so for that i have to give it a 4.5. but the food itself is a 5.

mix feeling ?!?!?!?!. yesterday our first time @ lo-lo's . 4 of us sat on the little room at the end right of the big dining room .our waitress very nice ask for our drinks order and we were ready to order our food because we already sate at the table for 15 minutes. we wait for 35 minutes for our food to be served we even joke about it with our waitress and telling her nicely we saw 4 other table ( 1 of 4, 1 of 3 and 1 0f 2 ) people who sate way after us and had already there food on the table we don't want to bitch at the waitress most of the time is not there fault is the kitchen who mess up .finally the food arrive look good smell good we had 3 pieces ofchickenand waffle thechickenwas perfect the waffle were so so no cooked enough we can tell they mess up at the kitchen and rush to put uncooked waffle to get the food out as fast as they could .

p s it was 11:30 am we tried to beat the lunch rush
so we are going to give another try !

bad customer service not 2 but 3 times! on over priced dry chicken

lo lo's. lo lo’schickenand waffles was a fantastic experience. walking up with my stomach growling a glorious aroma filled my nose. as would be expected, this brought joy to my soul. my heart sunk when i gave a second look and say that there was a large group of people waiting outside. they told my family the wait would be up to 45 minutes! this wasn’t lo lo’s fault; their food is just too dang good.
after the wait outside, i walked in to find a very charming atmosphere. despite the business, the wait staff were welcoming and smiles all around. after being shown our table, our party of 14 was able to put orders in rather quickly. the food came out with reasonable speed, and i was presented with one of the most beautiful plates of food i had ever laid my eyes on. it seemed to be well worth the wait.
i didn’t hesitate to dig in, and my mouth was met with moist flavorful, classic, down south fried chicken. right after indulging in an oversized bite ofchickeni made sure to get a bite of waffle. the wafflechickencombination was like no other and didn’t fail to satisfy. the waffles were fluffy and had a ting of cinnamon which put them over the edge. this cultural experience let me have a little taste of the south, and let me tell you it was good.

southern hospitality. i went here with some friends from georgia. they had fun 'educating' me on soul food. i love this place! of course i got thechickenand waffles. the waffle was delicious and thechickenwas nice and crispy. i also ordered a side of fried okra. i tried the cheese grits and collard greens from my friend's plate. the greens were ok (an acquired taste) - i guess they are served with almost every meal in the south. i'm glad i got to try some new foods. i grew up on kool-aid and loved having it as a drink. i really enjoyed the southern hospitality. my fear is that they are opening multiple locations and will eventually lose it's flare and become a chain.

lo lo'schickenand waffles. m-m-m-m good! i was very happy with the service, atmosphere,and most definitely the food! not only was it tastefully prepared and served hot, but the quality of the food was very good. i know fresh collard greens and yams when i taste them. nothing tasted like a canned or frozen item. even the chicken, though fried, was not overly greasy, but tender inside, crispy outside, and the onion gravy was light in consistency, not starchy, and complemented the flavor of thechickenwithout being overwhelming. one more thing. i was exceedingly proud of that black-owned business. it was well-run, professional, clean to a fault, and most of all the attitude served up with the meal was nothing less than super hospitable. and we all know, that is not easy to find, no matter where you dine. i will be proud to take our frequent out of town visitors to lo lo's at the first opportunity. p.s. this was the scottsdale location.
