“Google Maps said this was a restaurant that was open late. And that's true, but it's also the restaurant for a hotel, so if you come by, you should know that.

The tacos and house salad were good, if a bit pricey. If you're coming in late looking for a meal, though, I recommend it.

The staff was nice and friendly as well.“

“We had our Sunday lunch at the Cracker Barrel in Phoenix (I10 and Chandler Blvd). The food was fast and yummy. I was craving pancakes so I got the Mama’s breakfast. The BEST THING that day was your greeter/person who took our name. Meredith was SO KIND. I had a sudden wave of exhaustion hit me. She immediately saw that I was struggling. She came to our table to check on me and spoke to me as we were leaving. She even helped me pick out a soft, comfy sweater. Please let her know how appreciated she was. I could not thank her enough.

The drinks were good too. We sat at the bar with Gabby and she was super hospitable to us. She always checked on us and even replaced the string beans when they were too spicy.“

“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.“
