“I hadn't had some spot on fried chicken for as long as I can remember. The fried chicken was so damn good and cooked to perfection!! The crunch and seasoning were just absolute heaven, the sides(mashed potatoes and gravy, Mac n cheese,corn bread and Mac salad were all perfect and hands down just delish!! My taste buds were loving me for taking them there and I was so happy they were happy!! The restaurant was nice and cool, absolutley spotless and clean, service was great and warming, prices were right in for what I expected. My wife ordered the Moist Succulent Pork Chop and she said it was perfect and so delicious!! She also raved about the sweet tea and how fresh it tasted and brewed to perfection. I would've tasted her pork chop but I was elbows deep in my fried chicken and sides!! Needless to say I will 100% be returning again and cant wait to devour some more of that fried chicken. 🤤🤤“

“I was skeptical at first but the chicken was great the greens and baked beans weren’t my favorite on flavor side but they’re super good if you fix it up a bit or I recommend the snack combo if you just want the chicken and add a extra piece (edit: forgot to add the chocolate pie was amazing)“

“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.“
