| - We had been in PHX for @ a year and mija was craving a Southern home-cooked meal, so we tried Lo-Lo's. 1st visit, she ordered the Chicken & Waffles. She loved the chicken, but said the waffles were "alright." She fancies the catfish as well, but sometimes she gets "gypped" on the size/portion. She since has become a fan of their chicken tenders, and she loves their Kool-Aid beverage options.
I like that they have a veggie platter, for which you may choose 4 sides. If you're vegan, you can eat many of the sides (they do not use meat in any of their vegetables): greens, green beans, home fries, and regular fries are my go-to options. The home fries are always amazing and tasty. The greens and green beans are hit or miss. Sometimes they are great, other times they taste like they've come from a can; I hate those times. Their fried okra is bland; needs more southern love/flavor. The cornbread, mac n' cheese, etc., are vegetarian, but not vegan-friendly.
Not cheap. I spend no less than $40 for 2 people, every time.
Some of the waiters and waitresses are very sweet.
Gospel music plays on Sundays; makes me feel like less of a heathen.
Large TVs can be seen from anywhere you sit, and it's always displaying a sport of some sort.
The wait on the weekend can easily surpass 60 minutes, and they do not take reservations.
Their Scottsdale location is within a strip mall with Chipotle, Smash Burger, etc, so you'll sometimes have to fight for parking with some of the surrounding eateries' patrons, especially on a Sunday or weekend evening. And it's hard to find if you don't know where you're going, so be on the lookout for one of the aforementioned establishments and you'll see LoLo's. Or GPS works too.
