| - Lolo's is a local soul-food joint where you'd find all your AZ professional athletes from the Cardinals and the Suns eating here while reminiscing their childhood and talking about their nana's cooking! Or so I assume... haha. But it is an authentic Southern style fried chicken and waffle place. Their chicken are not like that of Church's or Popeyes where they deep fry their chicken. Lolo's lightly bread and pan fry their chicken in a shallow oil and the result is that crispy yet chewy texture on the skin. Wonderfully seasoned and almost caramelized on the outside, it is just dang good chicken! Their waffles are thin and dipped in their maple syrup, it's delicious!
Menu is straight forward an self explanatory. You can add more parts of the chicken from their a-la-carte menu if you feel like that order with two wings and a waffle is too dainty for ya! :) Service is VERY friendly and sometimes too good! This last time I was there, three different servers came around alternatively asking "Is everything ok with you guys here?" That last time one server asked, I almost felt like saying "Do we look like we're not ok?" LOL But it's all good. They take good care of their customers and make you feel at home!
They have their original location in Phoenix on Central, but this location is more "inviting" for me and the neighborhood is not so sketchy if you get my drift... :D
Fried chicken: excellent!
Fries: so-so. Could be crispier
Cheese grits: creamy, smooth, yummy. Could use some more salt.
Collard greens: not my thing, but if you're into it, go for it!
Phat Azz Samich: Better than their burger. Ask for the sauce on the side, cuz if you don't, you'll gonna need 10 napkins +!
Kool-Aid: C'mon now! You gotta have their addictive drink! I don't know what they do to it, but it's soooooooo delish!! I don't wanna know how much sugar they put in it either!! :)
