| - I don't have the heart to give this place anything less than 3 stars because they're just so damn nice, but I found Lolo's to be sub-par. I really don't get the hype.
I ordered fried catfish, mac & cheese, cornbread, sweet tea, and a waffle. the catfish was bland and pointless. it just tasted like salt. season your food, dammit! maybe if I wasn't from Louisiana & had never had good catfish, I might have enjoyed it, but my standards are high, and unfortunately Lolo's did not deliver. I know I sound like a total snob, but it just wasn't good.
the cornbread was unnaturally yellow, almost neon, and it came already smothered in fake-tasting butter stuff. bleh.
the waffle tasted like it was made of air, so if you're into that kind of thing then you'll love em. I like waffles when they're somewhat crispy, so I was disappointed.
the mac & cheese was also pretty bland & pointless, and the noodles were overcooked. ALSO, there was a weird chunk of what looked like meat in it, which I did not appreciate finding.
the tea was pretty good. it comes in a gigantic mason jar, and it's sweet but not too sweet.
oh, and the ambiance is fucking terrible! turn some lights out, for goodness' sake!
all in all, I don't get it. the chicken must be really good, because there's nothing about this place that would make me want to return.
