| - I am a fried chicken fan.
In terms of fried chicken, Lolo's doesn't even make it to my top 10. Nothing against the shop, which is run by really friendly people, but their yard-bird is not that flavorful once you get past the crunchy, salty, skin. It may well be the best thing in Phoenix but that's not saying a whole lot. Now mind you I'm comparing it to the likes of Price's Chicken Coop in Charlotte or the Scotch House in New Orleans - and compared to those esteemed joints - Lolo's is just bland.
That said, Lolo's will do you right: good waffles, solid collards, a tasty mac n cheese, grits, eggs. If it was aiming to be a breakfast joint it might score higher with me. And their service is really welcoming.
But a drawback is their price. For being the only game in town - Lolo's will stick it to your wallet. It's very very easy to walk out of there 40$ lighter for a dinner for two.
Next time, I'll stick to the sides.
