| - A chicken and waffle place? Based out of Arizona? I know what you're thinking. "Dont knock it til you try it" right?
So I come in on a thursday night about 7:15. Place was not all that busy but enough for the the staff to stay busy. We got a table right away which should be expected for the restaurant was only half full.
As I go over the menu I see that a lot of the food names are in relation to "Da Hood". Things like Baby Ray, Betty's Boob, and Tre-Tre's. That's for the chicken choices. I find it funny because when you're in "Da Hood", good food usually does not cost an arm and a leg. And it tastes good. What im saying is the food here does not taste good at all. Compared to Roscoe's Lo Lo's chicken does not have as much flavor.
So what I got was the Sheeda's Special ($11) and Fried Okra ($4) and Home Fries ($4). The Sheeda's Special was a chicken breast and wing along with a waffle. The chicken was bland and extra greasy, like they were in a hurry to serve it and didnt really give it enough time for the grease to drain properly. The waffle was plain bad. It was soggy and you can taste some cinnamon mixed into it. Putting a lot of syrup on it almost made it taste ok. Since thats all you get for the Sheeda's Special, I opted to get a the side of fried okra and home fries. The okra was soggy and literally had grease dripping from it. I guess it was the same person who pulled it out of the fryer and didnt give it enough time to drain? The fried okra at Dickey's barbeque was way better. The home fries were tasteless. The only thing I could taste was the onions and green peppers that were cooked with it. The potatoes were dry.
Service was almost non existent. I think I only interacted with my server twice. Once for taking the my order and then the second time bringing out my food. I take that back. Actually 3 times but the 3rd time didnt really count. The iced tea that she gave me literally looked like mud. I took a sip and I swear I could taste tea grounds. So I had her change it out for a diet soda.
Some things I wanna mention. One of the servers there look like they could be a Jonas brother. Only this guy was cut. You guys should take a pic with him and say he was helping out at Lo Lo's that day. After I ordered I went to the bathroom to wash my hands and they were out of paper towels so I mentioned it to one of the servers. After we got done eating about an hour later, I went to wash my hands again and STILL no paper towels. Fail.
Overall, this place is way overpriced, overhyped, and the service is terrible. I am definitely not coming back. On a side note if you want really good chicken and fried catfish, go check out Sunny's Chicken and Fish over towards North Las Vegas off of Lamb and Washington. You can get a 2 piece breast and wing with waffle for $3.99! For the price of a Sheeda's Special you can almost get 3 orders at Sunny's! His chicken and fried catfish taste way better and it is what I use to compare other chicken/waffle/catfish places! Plus the location is actually in a "hood" part of town so Lo Lo's got nuthin on this place! Sunny's is probably the best kept secret in regards to great chicken and catfish. If you go, tell him Roger sent you! Matter of fact, I had to go there the very next day just to get over the bad experience at Lo Lo's! I dont usually mention other restaurants in my reviews but in this case I feel bad that you guys are missing out if you havnt been to Sunny's! Plus your wallet will thank you!
