“The customer service is the best we've had in the valley, we never had to ask for anything. I had the porkchops with gravy, dressing, and greens. My wife had fried catfish, mac n cheese and cabbage. The porkchops were good tender, dressing was good I think the geeens were the best. The fish was good the cabbage was good but very spicy mac n cheese was good. Corn bread was was very good“

“This is a solid restaurant and wasn't too expensive. The chicken and waffles were outstanding, and the drinks were well made and reasonably priced. We waited a bit for our table reservation, but our waiter made up for it by covering one of our drinks. He was also responsive and made sure we got out on time for the Magus show.“

“I always have a great experience eating at Lo-Lo's. When I entered I received a warm greeting from the hostess Ms. Danita, she sat me at a booth with a great view of the TV's. Ms. Misty was my server...she did a great job, very attentive to my order. I ordered my usual soulfood platter with chicken and fish, greens w/turkey meat, yams and cornbread. They delivered as always. I really enjoy patronizing this restaurant, it has a great atmosphere. I highly recommend LoLo's without a doubt.“
