    This place is a diamond in the rough! I buddy of mine suggested this place and we came out on a Tuesday evening. The place was semi-packed but we still got seated right away. The restaurant is a rustic building with an open wooden ceiling. Pretty cool!! Service was amazing! Our waiter made sure we were well taken care of and constantly checked on us. The food was another story! I wasn't expecting next level fried chicken in Phoenix!!! In other words the food was on point!!!! Overall, great spot! Great service, great drinks and amazing food!!!!

    We came here for date night this past weekend and we had a blast. The food is always amazing. Chicken is so flavorful and juicy, the waffles are so delicious and soft. Our server was great and got us taken cared of right away. Parking was easy. One of our fave fried chicken spots!

    Tried Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles and honestly... I don't get the hype. The grits were lumpy, the catfish was greasy and not well seasoned. Overall the food missed the mark. The cornbread was pretty good, and the Cadillac margarita tasted good, but definitely on the weaker side. Shoutout to our server for being friendly and attentive, but unfortunately the food didn't live up to expectations. Pretty disappointing experience overall especially with the hr wait.

    I only give it a 4 because they didn't have gizzards anddd the wait time from ordering food to getting the food was 40 minutes. Typically it's not like that... however the food is consistent and was bomb. I got the platter $26 (3 legs, greens, mashed potatoes, cornbread) everything was GREAT!! Friday lunch vibe was chill, music and good service. Would definitely be back and it's a great place to bring those visiting Arizona

    Came in on a Tuesday evening seated immediately. Order was taken within good time and bathroom was clean. Our order took a minute to come out and did not come out together. There was a few minutes between each dish but that seems like a lot when you're hungry! I got the blackened catfish dinner; the fish was blackened and seasoned to perfection and the garlic butter topping was tasty as well with a fluffy texture. I tried a bit of chicken which was yummy as well. No complaints and we took a couple bottles of hot sauce to go. Would recommend and return!

    If you haven't been to Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles yet, you're missing out. The food is undeniably good--crispy, flavorful chicken and waffles done right every time. Service was on point too, friendly and quick. And you can't go wrong with that Kool-Aid . Hands down better than Roscoe's House of Chicken and Waffles or any other chicken and waffles spot I've tried. 5 stars all day.

    Ambiance: Clean restaurant with plenty of seating and attractive decor. Service: We were served by a nice gentleman who was attentive. Food: 8/10 -- The chicken had excellent flavor. The greens were the highlight for me. The cornbread was unique; it reminded me of Jiffy. Candy Sweets were delightful. The catfish was also tasty, and I usually don't care for catfish.

    LoLo's Special

    As a longtime devotee of the brunch game specializing in the pursuit of chicken & waffles, I'm delighted to report this venue checks out with accolades. Known for their Kool-Aid (always on tap!), I saved my sugar for extra syrupy toasty golden waffles (just right) on LoLo's Special and 3 pieces of moist yet crisp Southern fried chicken. The breast was on the dry side, not to be overlooked with some LoLo's award winning hot sauce & syrup - finger lickin' sweet & spicy! Neal was managing the front door and team working multiple tables with a great attitude - a pleasure to behold!

    Delicious chicken and waffles! I highly recommend the catfish bites! We all enjoyed our food and were seated pretty quick for a group of 5. Our server was awesome! She recommended drinks for us and helped us save money! The restaurant is good for friends and/or family. The bathrooms are decent.

    We were greeted and seated quick. Very friendly staff. The whole place looks clean and inviting. The food is delicious as always. The whole group I was with loved everything they ordered. Sometime while we were eating a DJ showed up and started playing music. It felt like a party in there. But surprisingly not overwhelming.

    Double D
    Marcus H.

    Heard really good things about Lo-Lo's Chicken and Waffles so we had to stop by while in town. Would highly recommend making a reservation or calling ahead as there was a pretty decent crowd and we still ended up waiting even after calling ahead. Our server was great, very friendly and flexible with our groups many requests and adjustments to orders. Shrimp deviled eggs were tasty, they came with a hot honey sauce that really tied the flavors together. We all loved the chicken and waffles, and primarily ordered the Double D meal (two breasts and a waffle)but any chicken and waffle combo is likely delicious. Depends on your cut of chicken preferences. Kool-Aid and Lemonade were great, a little sweet but that's expected/appreciated with those drinks. DJ was great and overall the space was pretty large. Assuming they create a party brunch vibe on weekends and maybe even host night time events based on setup and menu options. Will definitely check out Lo-Lo's again next time we're in Phoenix. Probably 2nd best chicken and waffles I've ever had!

    Shrimp & grits

    Omg....shrimp & grits were really seasoned well... and they give hearty portion! You won't be disappointed

    Service is always good here. I bring my out of state family and friends here. Lots of chicken options but also seafood and vegetarian as well. Good vibes and good music. Lots of parking!

    Here's a Short-cut summary: Exceptional food! Exceptional service! Cute place!…read more We dined here on a Sunday morning, late in September, in the year of our Lord, 2026...and It really was exceptional and memorable. Every beverage, and every entre' had layers of subtle flavor that had us all raving and passing around spoon and fork-fulls of samples that we shared together. My daughter had the breakfast sandwich and it was great (*beyond great, actually). I had just eaten the free breakfast offered at the hotel we stayed at last night, so only ordered the tomato salad (it had a catchy name that I think had something to do with a Bloody Mary, but I didn't take notes and my buhh...buhh...brain is not as sharp as it used to be, so I could be completely wrong about the name. Ask the staff and I bet they will know what I am refering to. It was fantastic and had others at a neighboring table asking what it was and how it was (I gave the "oh my gawd this is soooo good' eyebrows) to indicate that is was to kill or die for. Finally, my wife went for the mashed avocado toast selection, and I can honestly say that the bite I took to sample it was enough to have me come to the conclusion that it was the best avocado toast that I have ever had. When our waiter checked on how we were doing, the conversation lead to his sharing that almost all the offerings at VALENTINE are made with near-by farm to table ingredients. I hinted at how pleasant the beverages that we ordered were. Our waiter (who goes by the name, Jake and was super-personal, professional and caring) suggested the Cajeta Latte. I have never been let down by suggestions from staff at restaurants, so that was my choice. Muy Bueno! My daughter did the same, except that she went low and I went high (regarding temperature of the drink). My wife ordered a chai and kept saying how good it was as she sipped hers throughout the meal. To summarize, this place is fantastic and if you like food that is made by those with love of cooking in their souls--who appear to take joy in "wowing" others as they dine, VALENTINE should be put on your culinary bucket list. So stop reading this review and get your butt into one of their booths. Oh, I almost forgot... we had a pastry as a brunchy dessert after our late breakfast. I cannot recall exactly which one my wife and daughter selected, but it was really good. If you take a peek at the area where they keep their pastries, you will see that they all look amazing. And, based on the pastry that we sampled, I would bet my bottom dollar every one of those pastries you are looking at would taste great and satisfying.

    Well, I was born the day after Valentine's Day, so I was certainly intrigued by a restaurant with a…read morename like Valentine. I stopped by on a Friday evening at 7:45 with a friend. We had a reservation, but there were several tables open, so we probably would have been find. They have a complimentary lot, but it's not that big. Thankfully, I was able to find a spot. Ambiance (4/5): Valentine is a charming restaurant. Relatively small but comfortable. They have an open kitchen and there are also some couches in addition to your typical seating. We sat at a two-person table. It was a little small, but it was fine. And it was a little hot inside. Something to be mindful of, especially during August in Phoenix. Service (4.5/5): The service throughout was great. Attentive, efficient, and friendly. Our waiter did well taking care of us. No complaints. Drinks (4.5/5): Valentine has a nice wine and cocktail list. I ended up going with a Chilean wine. Potentially the first time I've had wine from Chile. My dining partner liked her cocktail. Food (4/5): We started off with the Sonoran what pretzel as an appetizer. It's served with whipped hen butter and honey comb which is an interesting take. A little mix of sweet and savory. And hey, I'll take a healthier pretzel every day of the week as long as it still tastes good. It did. Crispy on the exterior and soft on the inside just as you hope. One of their most popular starters. From there, I had the elote pasta which is their most popular dish. The presentation is awesome. The pasta is made to look like corn on the cob. And this was my first time having elote pasta. I love elote and I love pasta, so I was excited to try this fusion. Sadly, while not bad, both me and my friend agreed that it could have been better. We appreciated the creativity, including the dry corn kernels sprinkled on top, but the sauce was just too dry. It needed more creaminess to take it to where it could be. Pro tip: Valentine has a speakeasy inside of their restaurant. Stop by afterwards for a night cap. You can get in either through the restaurant or through the back. Our waiter took us there after our meal. It's called Bar 1912.

Even though there was a longer wait, the food and experience made it feel worth it. The smoked brisket Benedict is the standout. The brisket is tender with a deep, smoky flavor. The eggs are perfectly poached, and when everything comes together on the English muffin base, it hits that rich, savory-sweet balance without feeling too heavy. The French toast is Thick-cut and caramelized on the edges, without being overly sugary. It's well-complemented by fresh fruit and just enough syrup so it doesn't turn into dessert overload too early in the day. Overall, Brunch Snob feels like a spot that knows how to do comfort brunch.

    Great Group Dining Experience, But Reservations Are Highly Recommended…read more I recently visited Brunch Snob with my fitness group after our weekend session. For anyone planning a visit, please be aware that the wait times can be significant if you do not have a prior reservation. Fortunately, our large party of over 10 guests was able to utilize an indoor corner space to wait comfortably until our table was ready. Once we were seated, the service was excellent. The staff was incredibly patient and attentive while managing a table of our size.The food and beverage options were generally well-received, though there were a few minor details to note. One guest mentioned that the options for mimosa flights were somewhat limited. On the food side, my order of the Mexican Cowboy Bowl was excellent and prepared exactly as expected. While most of our group's orders were correct, one eggs Benedict arrived overcooked despite a specific request during ordering to avoid this. Given the size of our party, the guest chose to accept the dish rather than send it back. Billing Tip: For transparency, an automatic 20% gratuity was included in the final bill for our large group. I recommend double-checking your receipt to keep this in mind before adding any additional tips. Overall, it is a great brunch destination with quality dishes, but making a reservation ahead of time is highly advisable.

They do have valet parking at this establishment or you can park on the side street about two blocks away for free. We opted to just park two blocks away. On this occasion, our server was very sweet. She was also a cancer zodiac sign, so very nurturing and she insured that we had a great experience. For food I have no complaints. I really enjoyed the grits and catfish and also a birthday pancake that was given to me by the establishment. I thought that was a really nice gesture, and it was delicious. The vibe and the food for this establishment is five stars. What I take issue with is the lack of glassware. I think if you're gonna offer sparkling wine or mimosas or even champagne, you should have the proper stemware. I thought that the mimosa flights came off very low brow and there was no way I was drinking out of what looked like glass baby bottles. When asked for a wine stem glass, they didn't have any. And I actually believe the server which they need to do better IKEA is not that far you can get some wine glasses. This is essential. I did also see that they had some upgraded bottles for bubbles and I wish I would've saw that on a menu as I would've purchased an upgrade it Prosecco or champagne. However, I would've been livid if I purchased an upgraded bottle and had to drink out of thick cognac glasses. Anyway, I would come back here, but I just think they need to do better on the actual glassware. It would elevate this establishment.

The interior is pretty long with a large number of seating inside the building so we had no trouble getting seated right away by the hostess. We decided on food relatively quickly due to previous experience with the business, however, our waiter never came around to take our orders or even give us water at the table. We saw one girl with dyed hair who unassumingly could have been our waiter since she was in our section but only worked with one particular table and ran to the back after each time, but never addressed our table or came by. We eventually had to flag a different waiter down who was able to help us place the order and service us for the rest of our visit, she also informed us that this other "Waiter" was supposed to help us but she wasn't sure why she never made an attempt to do so after having us wait 20 mins and other tables were being serviced. We ordered Flordian French Toast and Elote Breakfast Burrito (plus a couple sides and drink) which were both really good, and filling. Prices weren't too bad for what we ordered and was able to take our mind off of the rather long wait to get helped. Not sure if we'll come back to this particular location again, but it was nice trying the restaurant out another time.

It was my first visit to this OHSO location because I don't get to the Sunnyslope part of the Valley very often. OHSO & Little O's North Central has only been open for a couple of years and resides in an old historic building. It took them some time to renovate the place before they opened. OHSO makes their own beer and distills their own spirits. They also have a full food menu. The Little O's market has grab-in-go food and offers breakfast, donuts and coffee in the morning. We came here during the later part of summer. My Summertime cucumber vodka cocktail was the perfect drink for the hot summers that we have to endure here in AZ. The Ensalada Del Sol was my main entrée for the evening and was tasty. Overall, we had a fun and relaxing evening here at OHSO.
