“This place is delicious! I ordered the Nana's Soul XL so I could try everything. The mac & cheese is creamy, the collard greens are tasty, the baked beans are full of flavor, and the fried chick'n (mushrooms) feels like a fried guilty pleasure. My least favorite were the wangz aka cauliflower. Not terrible by any means, but not as delicious as the rest of the items. My FAVORITE is the rib. It pulls apart like meat and has a wonderful smoky flavor. Who needs to eat animals when soul food can taste this great without them!! Updated from previous review on 2024-04-11“

“Never disappointed with Lo-Lo's. I don't really understand the bad reviews. I understand bad food/service but people that picky are better off eating at home. Our server Caitlyn (she was new I believe) was attentive and amazing on a chill Sunday afternoon. While I read the menu thoroughly every time I always get the same thing lol. Chicken was crispy and fried perfectly. Waffles are always my favorite. The new preroll appetizer was awesome too. Only small criticism was our seating. On a slow Sunday they grouped everyone in the middle tables. It's like we could hear all of each others conversations. Talking about nasty booty holes and what they did the night prior. There were several booths and other places open but we were grouped together. Next time we'll request to be at least a little apart from others.“
