Around 620pm this evening we thought that "CHICKEN & WAFFLES" sounded fantastic!
LoLo's is just south of downtown PHX & with DBAX traffic only about 5 minutes away from our house. NW Corner of Central Ave & Yuma St.
When we arrived we had a parking spot right outside the door, no meter parking here. We unpacked the kids & walked into a warm "Southern Greeting" hostess asking us how many. We said 3 adults & 2 kids, the hostess said: "Sit anywhere ya like" so we found a 4 top table over to the left side & sat. About 5 minutes later we were handed our menus & asked for our "JAR OF DRANK" order; we also gave them our food order as well.
They offer Sweet tea, homemade lemonade, soda, & Kool-Aid on tap. "The Red" is so sugary you wonder if a diabetic attack is going to hit you after your 2nd sip; exactly what a "KID" or "29 YR OLD KID" loves! Unlimited refills & big jars as glasses: $2.50.
The wife ordered 2 side items: a chicken breast $4.00 & Home fries $3.50. The home fries have red & green peppers along with onions diced & sauteed on top of them. VERY TASTY!
I ordered the #3 LoLo's ($11.00) which comes w/ 3 pieces of chicken & 2 waffles. I prefer dark meat so I asked for 3 thighs & 2 extra sides of (BOILING HOT & FREE) syrup. I poured the syrup on my waffles while allowing the chicken to soak up the extra on my plate. As soon as I tasted the mix of fried chicken & maple syrup I thought I had died & gone to heaven! I will tell ya I was STUFFED to the max after my gallon of Kool-Aid, 3 thighs, & 2 waffles but that meal was...
For lack of a better phrase...
SOME SEXY PHOOD!
The "OLD MAN" ordered the "LoLo's Famous Soul PHOOD Platter" ($13.00) which comes with either 3 pieces of fried chicken or 2 pieces of catfish w/ your choice of 2 sides (Waffle & 2 over easy eggs w/ cheese & onion) & cornbread; oh, don't forget the extra side of chicken gravy. The old man chose the catfish & was raving from the 1st bite to the last "Plate Lick"; plate looked like it had just been washed it was so clean.
Service was good: 7 out of 10
I did get up & refill my own drink once without anyone asking to fill it for me. There was NO WAIT AT ALL & we had our food in less than 15 minutes after sitting down. The staff was friendly, helpful, & Larry "LoLo" White was in great spirits as always!
PHood was AMAZING: 9 out of 10
The taste of that fried chicken is unlike anything I've ever tasted in THE PHX! Waffles are good, similar to Waffle House, the HOT HOT HOT syrup is wonderful & makes it far better the the WaHo. The dranks are an old-fashion energy drink w/ double the sugar you'd expect...
I'll keep ordering every single time as well.
I love it!
Comfort was good: 7 out of 10
Older table & chairs no big deal, a little cramped but it's worth it for the PHood.
We had a highchair for our 7month old & everything worked out good.
Over all grade: 23-30 & highly recommended!
I WILL BE BACK, MAYBE WEEKLY!

Great place to eat! I'm a real phan.
I would like you to compare Gladys Knight's chicken and waffles with Lolo's. Tell your boss to fly you out to Atlanta for a business trip.
