If soul food is what you want then Lo Lo's is definitely the place to go. The down home food and the urban atmosphere are the main attractions. Although, I recommend the Scottsdale location, don't expect an upscale restaurant. You're going to find great food, very basic tables and chairs, decent service and a very relaxed atmosphere.
LoLo's takes me back to when I was a kid when I used to drink koolaid out of a mayonnaise jar! Yes, they serve Koolaid & other beverages out of big jars! It's great! ;) I've had The Catfish and The Chicken (both fried and the smothered chicken-shamefully) they were both Amazing! I've also had the collard greens, the macaroni and cheese (OMG! So Good!), green bean & red potatoes, sweet potatoes, rice and gravy. I must say Everything I've tried was Amazing!!!!
If you've never had it ,you must give it a try! Don't be scuured! Lol the crowd is very diverse! There has been a wait most times I've gone. However, the food is definitely worth the wait! Don't plan on sticking to your diet! I sure couldn't ....but, they do have salads. But, what's the use in going to a soul food restaurant if you Don't Experience The Soul Food?! When you go let me know how it was!
