| - Been to this location and the one in Phoenix. I'll break this down into two parts.
1. Non-food
Woah, $8 for two wings and a waffle. That's expensive! Family of 4 for lunch, $50. Really?
Service was good, but not stellar. Our waitress had a bit of an attitude, but I expected that. My wife wanted greens, but... absolutely, positively, no substitutions! Cm'on guys, would it really kill you to just let us have what ever side we want if they cost the same?
Both my kids enjoyed their drumsticks, mac-n-cheese, and red beans. But, both wanted more and left hungry.
2. Food
Pretty good, but not great. The chicken is crispy and well seasoned. Maybe a hint of buttermilk in there, not sure. The waffles are just average.
Mac-n-cheese is very good. Fried okra is excellent too. Green beans, meh.
I like sweet tea, but I was not prepared for the sugar saturated version they serve. Even 1/2 sweet - 1/2 unsweet was too much for me. Kids loved the kool-aid.
Conclusion
I would love to go here more often, but they need to lower the prices and allow you to pick your side if the meal comes with one. I think LoLo's is mostly a fad, "oh, look, Scottsdale has soul food, we are so cosmo!" I'm from Chicago and have eaten enough soul food to know good when I have it. LoLo's is just a tad above OK.
