| - So I've been off and on Lola's for several years now, since their former location at 401 N. Tryon Street. This is Southern food, served similarly like a cafeteria. They have daily specials and items served all week; but I recommend sticking with the daily specials.
For breakfast, they have the usual eggs, bacon, biscuits and such. The one negative I had was the toast with the liquid butter they used on it... the toast is better without butter.
For lunch, as mention... go with the daily specials. If Fried Chicken is the special that day, get it. The sides are the traditional southern sides you would expect, and they do rotate them; so if you wanted fried okra (like I did one day), you might have to come back another day for it.
Food quality wise is pretty good. Some of the items can be rich (in butter, fat, or other flavor device) and it can settle heavy in the stomach if too much. I don't recommend eating here daily if you value controlling your waist line; but once a week or two should be okay. The restaurant is clean with plenty of seating available (inside or out). Overall, it's very good and worth a visit (but not too often).
