“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.“

“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.“
