How can you say anything bad about Lolo's? This place has it all figured out. Decor, service, food & atmosphere are all part of the experience.
I think certain restaurants really get you into the mood to eat there, and Lolo's is one of them. The location in Scottsdale is bright, cheery and has great music (jazz & hip hop when I was there) playing from the counter in front of the kitchen. Plus, we have great service every time we go.
The food here is king. I've had the chicken & waffles and the fried catfish platter. I will admit I am not a fried chicken connoisseur, but this was the best I've ever had, and I've eaten at some great places in Georgia and South Carolina. The waffle is actually thinner than you might expect, but it's darn tasty.
My favorite is definitely the Catfish. Their seasoning in the batter and the quality of fish made for a killer meal. AND, if you love cheese, get the mac & cheese. There is no fake cheese sauce in there. It was real cheese, and it was thick! The fried Okra was the perfect finishing touch.
Please keep in mind both times I ate here, I was with petite ladies that ordered on the lite side (who watched me devour the greatness & have been back since to eat what I had), and I wish I wore stretchy pants.
One more thing... They serve real Kool-Aid (OH YEAH!)...
