Thank you very much! Not a single thing I wouldn't order again. All great! Highly recommend! Sock it to me cake recommended, tried (not shown) was amazing!“

“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 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.“
