“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.“

“Lolo’s Chicken and Waffles is always one of my go-to spots when I’m in Arizona and craving some real soul food. The food here consistently delivers. The biscuits and gravy are unbelievable, the cheese eggs are fantastic, and this time we also had the chicken gizzards and catfish bites, which were both excellent. It looks like they’ve remodeled since my last visit, or maybe it’s just been a few years, but the place has a slightly different vibe now. There’s even a DJ booth, which isn’t a bad idea, except the DJ mostly sat on his phone the entire time while a pre-made playlist ran. Not like I’m making requests at a breakfast spot, but it does affect the overall ambiance a bit. That said, the food is still some of the best soul food I’ve had in Arizona, and I’ll definitely keep coming back.“

“I definitely recommend this place! Great food, great company, and a great time. We always introduce friends and family to this place and they become fans!“
