lo-lo's chicken & waffles

get the #8 betty boop. succulent big chicken breast served with a golden crispywaffleperfectly 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.

phoenix favorite. if you like great fried chicken or catfish, run, don't walk to lo-lo's. the fried chicken is the best in phoenix. throw in awaffle- 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.

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 moist chicken thigh, 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 of chicken and waffles that was a better value than my plate. it was a nice touch that the syrup was served warm and thewafflewas tasty. the service was above average because our server informed us that the food would take a while.

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 of chicken andwafflethe chicken was perfect thewafflewere so so no cooked enough we can tell they mess up at the kitchen and rush to put uncookedwaffleto 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 !

lo lo's. lo lo’s chicken and 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 of chicken i made sure to get a bite of waffle. thewafflechicken combination 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 the chicken and waffles. thewafflewas delicious and the chicken was 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.

wow!!!!! try thewafflewith the dark meat leg and thigh with onions and gravy!!! i love this place. the kool aid is awesome too as well as the red velvet cake! great job and the service is down right southern hospitality!

ghetto bird awesomeness!. this is not some trendy chicken and waffles joint - this is a real deal "hood" joint that has all the fixins done right too - just like the bird! southern fried (which means battered bird but not over battered, ok? don't get crazy, holmes!) chicken served with somewaffleaction and syrup. i for the two winger and awafflefor like $7.99 and a side of cheese grits and a tea. super wonderful and when they brought it out in aboot 5-7 minutes, i was like "ok, heat lamp mess - yuck!" but get this - it was hot and crixpy like i likes it and they brought me some hot sauce and my 1/2 & /2 tea was dead on too. serivce can be oftentimes lacking at places like these (ahem) but not here - the 2 young guys - one black dude and one hispanic dude - were all over me with helpful tips (this is really good today - try the colored greens (a joke from the ofice) et. i will go here again in a minute! better than any of the other yard-bird wanna be's around. if you go to kfc, you are a loser if you like it better tha lo lo's!

a little pricy but double dawg dammm it be good!

wow!! i loved this place. fried chicken, waffles, mac n cheeses, collards, kool aid and sweet tea- what more do you need on a beautiful sunday afternoon. if ever in phoenix, put this on your must do list! bestwafflei ever had.

great soul food. i have driven through this location many times never realizing this place was there. a co-worker had spoken highly of the scottsdale location so i decided to try this one in the downtown phoenix area as it is just a few miles down the street where i live.

i ordered the toy-toy which is 1waffleand 2 chicken wings. i added a side of scrambled eggs. the order took a while to come out. the eggs arrived cold. the waffles and chicken were good.

what i noticed is that when we arrived there were not many people, but just a few minutes after we arrived about 5 new parties arrived. so my assumption for the delay in our order was that they must have delayed frying the chicken for our order to get all the orders in from the other parties, because everyone else's food arrived almost at the same time as ours. so we got to wait.

i would definitely go back but solely for chicken and waffles.

update: the above review was written review by me on yelp back in july 2010. since then, i have been back and the chicken and waffles were delish. i have now also ordered the fried okra, which were yummy. very tasty and almost like the ones i have had in texas. also, the collard greens are pretty good. you should definitely try this place.

wow! amazing!. i was here about two weeks ago, and all i can say is "amazing". i had the waffles with grits and sweet potatoes.

i've never had a betterwafflein my life. i mean that literally. i'm from mi, where we had carbon's maltedwafflemix. these were better than those. i dont know what they do to those waffles but they taste like god himself touched them. best waffles ever!

the sweet potatoes are great! not too heavy with enough sweetness to make them good without overpowering them.

definitely try this place if you are in the area!! or even if you're not!
