“10/1/2022 just ate breakfast this morning. Had make your own breakfast. Sausage overcooked hard to eat even to cut. Looked darker. Haah brown overcooked. Both sides dark and brittle. Just breaks apart. Egg whites scramble still watery. My granddaughter same sausage patties. My wife same breakfast as mine same problems. We have eaten dinner there so many times. Just awesome. No problem. But this morning don't know. No more breakfast.“

“We had brunch at Lo-Lo's on a quiet Wednesday afternoon and were pleasantly surprised it was not busy. The chicken and waffles were a hit, the grits were seasoned just right, and even the fried okra and catfish bites were better than expected. A few drinks were too sweet and some thought the chicken was a little salty, but overall the food was solid and I would definitely go back.“
