    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!!!!

    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.

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

    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.

    Very mid. Went on a Monday afternoon & waited an hour for food. The place is nice & plays good music service was good. The food was also okay. Just chicken & waffles. My friend however, got catfish & mac and cheese& it looked good.

    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.

    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!

    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!

    What days and times do they have a DJ?

    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.

    Gluten free chicken n waffles or no?

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

    I can't believe it's taken me so long to review but Valentine was an amazing weekend brunch spot…read more They have a really unique menu that features a lot of Sonoran cuisine and it's attached to a vintage antique store? Heck yeah. For brunch, we were treated to a complementary squash sticky bun. This was delish, highly recommend. I also ordered the masa almond tea cake. The flavor of this was yummy but it wasn't evenly distributed. The cake was kind of dry and flavorless on the outside and moist on the inside. For my meal, I got the Tres leches French toast. Do not get this unless you're like me and have a major sweet tooth. I think this was one of the sweetest meals I've ever had, it was basically slathered in syrup. V yummy. It was fun to explore the vintage store after. It was a great way to walk off a big brunch and discover some cool pieces. If you're looking for a brunch spot in Phoenix, highly recommend Valentine. FYI: no parking lot, street parking only.

We had family visiting from…read moreCali and they know one of servers working there, so they asked if I have been, I said no but I would love to go. I always planned to go for dinner, I didn't even know they were open for brunch. Well now I do, and it was SO delicious that I would like to come back to try other menu items. The ambiance of Valentine is like being in Palm Springs at a resort enjoying brunch. It's very mid-century modern and I love the decor. They have a large outdoor patio that is probably nice when it's not summer. We sat inside and noticed there is a vintage market (Modern Manor) attached to the restaurant, we went there after eating. (A cute place with some pricey items. I'll post a separate review of the store.) Our server Pete, he was exceptional. He knows my cousins' husband and he gave us the grand tour of the menu. His recommendations were spot on, and we wanted for nothing. We started with handcrafted drinks, I really enjoyed the coffee menu options, with unique flavors. I had the iced Cajeta latte with oat milk. Cajeta is like a Mexican caramel and was very good with espresso. I also tried the chiltepin shakerato (a slight spicy mocha) and golden milk (turmeric latte). I really liked all of them. Then we had a fantastic sampler plate of pastries-- piñon croissant, morning swirl, and churro croissant roll. Baked fresh, these are really great! My fave was the morning swirl. I would come back to try the other pastries alone. Next we had the chula seafood crudo with a delicious agua chile sauce. Then onto our entrees-- avocado toast, breakfast sando, tortilla espanola, tres leche French toast, tater tots, and for good measure the Sonoran dog. I was able to try all the dishes and everything was awesome. The toast used is a thick Texas toast type of bread that is called squash brioche-- so good! Everything tasted fresh and flavorful, you can tell that Valentine cares about using fresh, local, high quality/ interesting ingredients with unique flavors. I mean they add trout roe to their Sonoran dog and serve with house made allium-nori chips... how fun is that?! And mesquite-pecan butter with sorghum-sage syrup for the French toast is so rich and sweet. That's a dessert type brunch dish for sure. We had so much food, we couldn't finish so we boxed up leftovers which heated up and tasted great the next day. I fully intend to come back for the dinner menu and have cocktails at Bar 1912. I look forward to it.

Went there on a Saturday morning. There was a little bit of a wait, but not too. Had a wonderful waiting area to sit with great vibes great music. Lively atmosphere. Being in Arcadia Neighbourhood, you see a mix of people. Everything from hipsters, to aunties and uncs, and people looking like they just left the set of Pop the Balloon or Find Love. As for the food, I had the catfish and grits. The catfish was cooked perfectly, well seasoned. Hot crispy fresh. The grits were a bit lacking as they were pretty runny but overall a good bite. Other people in my party got a short rib hash said it was delicious. The French toast and the pancakes are not anything different than what you get at any other high-end brunch spot.

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 music and atmosphere were energetic maybe a little loud for my personal taste but the overall vibe was fun and social. I also noticed a nice patio area in the back of the restaurant. The layout of the restaurant was unique. I had never been to this location before. There is a counter-service area near the entrance where you can eat casually or order food to go, while the full-service dining area is located farther back. I I also enjoyed reading the historical displays throughout the restaurant that shared the history of Sunnyslope and the building itself, including its former life as "The Arbor." It added a unique local touch to the experience. I ordered the Ensalada Del Sol, which was generously sized and made with fresh ingredients. The chili-rubbed chicken was tender, and the food arrived quickly. My only concern was the consistency of the chicken. It was much saltier than expected and overpowered some of the other flavors in the salad. There also wasn't quite enough cilantro dressing for the flavor to come through. This was actually the second time I've experienced overly salty chicken here on the same salad, My bartender/server was friendly, attentive, and offered helpful drink recommendations. Even so, I enjoyed the atmosphere, service, and character of the restaurant and would return to try other menu items.

If you arrive early, there's a large parking lot; later in the morning, valet takes over.

The food holds up: the breakfast burritos are phenomenal and exactly what you want after a workout, paired with solid coffee. Overall, it's one of those dependable spots that just works--casual, accommodating, and well-suited for both groups and post-run refueling.
