| - Being born and raised in Nashville, Tennessee, it has made it extremely hard to be lenient when it comes to soul food and my southern favorites. I'm from a city that is known for their music, hospitality and food (especially the hot chicken). In other words, I know good chicken like a choir director knows his keys.
After my experience at Lo-Lo's (twice now), I can definitely say this is as close to good soul food one is going to find here in The Valley. (that I have tried at least).
The chicken and waffles were pretty good, chicken could have had more seasoning and been crunchier but it was still edible and decent, waffle was alright but it could of been much fluffier. My side items were also lacking a little seasoning but like I said, this is Phoenix, AZ so we gotta accept what we have when it comes to soul food.
Lo-Lo's is not the best in the food department but the service is OUTSTANDING. My server my last visit was extremely friendly, all smiles, and provided GREAT conversation. Bartender was also very pleasant and the food runner was a delight as well. I didn't have to ask or want for anything. My only complaint is it took them FOREVER to finally send our server over to take our orders and the restaurant wasn't packed.
However, I still have yet to find somewhere here in the valley that fills the void of my southern heart. I will probably be yearning for good chicken until I go back to Nashville one day, but until then, these lackluster places will have to do.
Lo-Lo's has a wonderful vibe though and great interior, they even have a DJ playing all the old school jams making you and your party feel like you're vibing at a bingo night.
In my opinion, Lo-Lo's is leaps and bounds better than tacky, overrated, poor-service Roscoe's Chicken N Waffles of Los Angeles.
