| - I've been to Lo-Lo's probably close to 5 or 6 times. It is usually pretty decent, but last night (1/3/2018) was very disappointing.
It was my son's 4th birthday, and he's recently started an obsession with fried chicken, or "chicken-on-the-bone" as he calls it. We thought what better place to take him than Lo-Los, right?
We got there, Wednesday around 6PM, fairly empty. Probably the slowest I've seen it. The waitress immediately had no personality, and seemed bothered that we were even there. We ordered the fried green tomatoes, they were good, but really? $7.95 for 4 small tomato slices? That is robbery at it's finest.
Oh well, let's move on. I ordered a two drumstick & waffle plate for my son, 3-piece for me, and my wife got the mac&shrimp pasta. A few minutes later she came back and said they are out of legs. How can a chicken place be out of legs? Especially if it isn't even busy enough to warrant running out of food? Also, no apology or emotion from the waitress. Still seemed bothered we were in her section.
Ok, so we just had her bring thighs out. The food came, I notice that i have two thighs and a breast. The breast was so dark brown and dripping with grease that it looks like it was left in the fryer way longer than the other pieces. I could barely tear the meat with my teeth, so when i used a fork & knife, the chicken wasn't even glistening or anything, it was almost grayish and pale from being over cooked. I set the chicken aside, hoping that at some point, our waitress would come by and notice that piece was inedible. Nope, she could careless.
The only thing that tasted good that night was the shrimp inside my wife's mac&cheese. The mac itself was so dense that you had to drink after two bites otherwise it would lock up in your throat.
By the time we left, after tip, it was $63.00. What a joke, and waste of money. I'm just glad that my 4 year old didn't understand the problems so he could enjoy his birthday dinner.
I don't know if that means new management has taken over? Either way, I'll be thinking twice before returning. That's for sure.
