I may be tardy for the review party but I just COULD NOT hold onto this review any longer! During a business trip October 30, 2024, in Phoenix, Arizona, I did my research of Great Black Businesses (as I Always do!) to support and stumbled upon this Beautiful Gem: LoLo's Chicken & Waffles. Ya'll...Let...Me...Tell...YOU!! Food, Service, Atmosphere were All BEYOND! I walked into an atmosphere of nothing but my childhood from the Ali pics on the wall to the tv looping James Brown performances, Sanford & Sons, The Jeffersons, What's Happening, and many, many more nostalgic shows as well as the back-in-the-day Kool-Aid commercials from the 1900's, yup, I said it! Also, the music was BOMB! Walking in and immediately snapping my fingers and singing to Troupe and then get hit with some Parliament and Fresh Prince had my body popping, snaking, and prepping (dances, in case ya'll youngin's don't know 🤭). I have a video of myself rapping The Entire "Parents Just Don't Understand" and sent it to my friends but, even though we cool, Google Companions, I care not to upload and share, LOL. Now, I read some reviews prior to my visit regarding wait times and such but I did not experience this at all. And if I did, LoLo's is definitely worth the wait. If it's a wait, it's a good wait, Trust me 😉. Maybe because it was the middle of the week and about an hour before closing? Who knows but I did not leave disappointed at all with anything: wait, food, nothing. The Young Lady, Kat, who provided service, hipped me to game and knew the menu well. She also provided great suggestions when I was indecisive. I started with a Henny Drop, Fried Green Tomatoes, and Deviled Eggs with Fried Shrimp that were atop a nice spring mix (gotta get the veggies in). That Fried Green Tomato aioli is Superb...used it to also dunk my fries! The Deviled Eggs with Fried Shrimp came with a sweet heat type of sauce that I also used as the syrup for my waffle. I could have smashed all the tomatoes and the deviled eggs (one of my all-time favorite food groups) but I knew I needed room to at least sample my main course as well as get another drink. Of course I got the chicken and waffles (3pc), fries, and that melt in your mouth cornbread muffin, which I normally don't care for but LoLo's changed my mind. I took a bite out of everything to give my compliments to the chef in person. More than one person kept coming out to check on me, which made me feel Way Too Special and Welcome 😊. I packed my remaining morsels to-go for some midnight / 2am grubbing (after a nice nap...keep reading to see why 😏) and ordered one more drink, the Georgia on My Mind, so I could sip on it as I waited on a rideshare. But, let me tell you (again), one Young Fella (sorry, Boo, forgot your name and I do not even want to mess it up) opted to make my drink personally but said he would make it to-go because he wanted to make sure he brewed me some fresh tea; even put it in a cute to-go pouch for me and suggested I wait until I got home. He knew I needed to drink that in the comforts of my own hotel room because it was "turn-up juice"...well at my age now, "nightcap juice" in these older, club-less years I now enjoy! Folks, his Granny had to have given up the family sweet tea recipe locked in a vault somewhere because it was Dee-Li-Shush and it being spiked was EVEN better! All in All this was one of the best experiences I have had while traveling. I talked about LoLo's so high, that my friends and I are planning to visit Phoenix again for a girl's trip vacation. LoLo's, see Ya'll soon and Thank You, Thank You, Thank You for being so Dope!! I shall spread the word every time I get a chance!!
