    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

    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.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    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.

    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!

    So much waste

    Not once not twice but 3 times. I called and was disconnected attempting to place a order it wasn't until the 4th try i was successful. I should have taken it as a sign and not ordered. Placed 1 order they said 25 mins cool. I go in 4 ppl are in front of me I get to the front the girl seemed annoyed when I told her I was picking up. With a grunt and sigh sure let me grab it... ma'am im buying my food you arent gifting it. I pick it up head to my car to eat in the parking lot. DRY OVER cooked chicken. And my food was COLD MY WAFFLE dry and crusty. Yeah this place has gone down hill

    Good food, good friends and good music..you can't beat that. We had a great time celebrating a friends birthday. The service was great. Our server was very attentive and that made the experience so much better. The food came out hot and tasty!!! They do not skimp on serving portions. The food was seasoned well and was sooo tasty. The kool -aid especially Red Kool-Aid was delicious! We went on a Sunday afternoon and there wasn't a long wait. The music from the DJ brought added fun as we did a few line dances lol . Great place to go for great food with generous portions...

    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.

    The food was sooo good!! The chicken was nicely seasoned and crispy. The meat was juice and not dry at all including the chicken breast. Waffle was good and thin. Lemonade and drinks were huge! Mac and cheese was rich. Service was also fast as well!

    At the time I went to this location they had No DJ

    Does your fried chicken contain dairy?

    Yes

    Do they accept Apple Pay or any other paying app?

    Only cash and credit cards.

    Are there any gluten free options?

    This is definitely not the place to go if you have any food restrictions or are on a special diet.

    How is parking in the area?

    There is on site parking. We had no problem finding a spot.

    Are there good prices or expensive?

    The prices are a tidbit high but it's worth a try.

    Are the waffles vegan? Also, any other vegan options?

    Vegan? At Lo-Lo's? No, no, no. There is some form of chicken, cow, or pork in almost everything but the kool-aid. Great eating ;) Just kidding. There are fried green tomatoes, fried green beans and a veggie plate. Not sure if the cornbread is vegan.

    Sadly no. I wish though as my 9 year old loves LOLO's but was diagnosed as celiac over a year ago

    I was really excited to bring my parents here while they were visiting from out of town, as I've…read morealways thought the food at Valentine is fantastic and genuinely unique. We arrived without a reservation and were told the wait would be about 25 minutes, which was totally reasonable. We waited the full time and checked in once, only to find the wait continuing to extend while several outdoor tables sat open. When we politely asked about our table, the host (a woman with glasses) responded with a noticeably rude and dismissive attitude. At one point, she muttered under her breath something along the lines of, "If you guys are so anxious... you can head over there," which multiple people in our group heard. It felt completely unnecessary and unprofessional. We were eventually seated at a table that was partially in direct sun, and when we asked about moving to one of the shaded tables, we were told they were unavailable and "reserved". However, those tables remained empty for over 30 minutes, which was frustrating given the situation. To be fair, there was another older woman on staff who was warm, attentive, and fantastic, and the food itself continues to be a highlight. The menu is creative, thoughtful, and one of the reasons we've come back multiple times. That said, this isn't the first time we've experienced service issues here, and it often feels like the restaurant is understaffed, which may be contributing to the inconsistency. I really want to love this place and continue recommending it, but experiences like this make it hard. Great food can only carry things so far when the hospitality side feels off. It's one thing to occasionally be understaffed (I understand people call off in this business) but there's a consistency here which points towards management issues and then on top of it, when your hostess is unnecessarily rude, that's a real bummer. We live in the Willo nearby and I don't think we're going to keep coming here if this restaurant allows the constant service issues and the rude staff like this.

The food feels local yet innovative and most importantly, everything was delicious. Octopus: 5/5 The best octopus dish I've ever had. My seven-year-old son kept asking for more and more. Pretzel: 4/5 The whipped butter and honeycomb paired perfectly with the pretzel. If you're a pretzel lover, you'll really enjoy this. Gem Salad: 5/5 Fresh, bright, and lightly dressed with a subtle mustard flavor. Elote Pasta: If you love Mexican street corn, this playful pasta dish is a fun take on it. Charcoal Cabbage: 10/5 Incredible. The flavors were so unique. It tasted kind of like black garlic. Absolutely unforgettable. Pesto Sundae Dessert: 5/5 So creative and innovative. Fun play on pesto. I've never had ice cream made with pine nuts before and loved it. The basil granita was incredibly refreshing. Service: 10/5 I wish I had gotten their names, but our server (a boxer) and the hostess with long brown hair were fantastic. Truly warm and welcoming service.

I normally get the sunrise breakfast sandwich and it hits the spot. I love how they toast the bread with butter so it's extra delightful when you bite into the sandwich.

Perfect when I'm half awake on the weekend. The weekends can get pretty busy but there is a good amount of parking available. Coffee is pretty good for a fast casual restaurant as well + a fairly good price.

One thing to know is there is no table service. You order at the counter and they have a lot of choices so if you have never been there it's hard to decide while other people are waiting behind you. I came with my mom and we were craving pancakes so again didn't get any eggs which is what they are known for and their breakfast pizzas. So I'll come back to try those. We split buttermilk pancakes and a cinnamon roll. They do have real maple syrup but of course they up charge for the good stuff. The pancakes are ok but don't taste like buttermilk pancakes. They looked good but it definitely tasted like a mix and not a good one. They were way overly sweet. They weren't terrible but just not great. 4/10 on the pancake scale. The cinnamon roll also tasted like a store bought premade roll. It was also kind of burnt and didn't taste like anything. The only good thing was the coffee which I was highly skeptical about because it was serve yourself from a carafe. But it was good and strong. Nice views of the mountains and the patio is dog friendly. I want to like this place because it's in my neighborhood so next time I'll try the eggs dishes. Also they have several veggie/vegan selections so I'll come back for those too and to bring my dog.

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.
