In short...this food fed my soul. It was so good. I door dashed it and it was still amazing. Everything was seasoned just right. I had the catfish plate and it's easily feeds two people.

This is my first and only experience with Kings. I ordered food at an event for a friend from…read moreKings based on what she saw others had ordered because it looks great. My friend and I waited and waited for the food. I opened the order when I got it before leaving the window and the lady working the window gave me someone else's food. Thankfully, and the other customer recognized their order and got their food just fine. The lady working the window apologized, gave me a water, and I waited longer. She apologized again and said that they'd bring the food to me. They didn't bring the food and instead gave part of my order to a different friend to bring to me. I went back and asked for the rest of the order. The lady working the window said that she gave me my order. I said no, we only got part of it. She then became unbelievably inappropriate saying that I'm lying, stealing from a Black man business owner, not well, and all kinds of things that were uncalled for because they were paid nearly $40 for the order plus a 20% tip! I told my friend what happened and to do a charge back. I went back again with the partial order to try and explain that this was all that was received. Instead, the woman working the window immediately started berating me, threatening to embarrass me, and other things that were incredibly unhelpful to reconcile the situation. Mind you, I am not the type to act a fool and was at the event representing an organization so at no time did I raise my voice or return the treatment I received from this business. She asked what I wanted her to do and I told her that a refund because I know how chargebacks are bad for small businesses. She said okay and asked for the last 4 digits of the card, so I had to get them from my friend. I went back to my friend to get the numbers, got back in line to give them to her, and I gave them to her. She asked why I kept getting back in line...well, how else was I supposedto get help because that line was the only line. Instead of refunding my friend, the lady shut the window, talked to the owner, and reopened the window and started taking more orders. I got back in line again to find out if the refund had been done and she said that they were not going to refund and there was nothing else that they could do. I told my friend this and she's going to move forward hopefully with the chargeback. Mind you if the order and had been fulfilled correctly, then I wouldn't have had to go back multiple times asking for the order nor would I be writing this negative review. Our other friends who actually got their orders said the food was good, so there's that I suppose. This type of exchange is why so many businesses fail. Simple things like decent service and order management. I was not the only person waiting for an extended period. I was not the only person whose order was messed up. I encourage this business to invest in an digital order taking CMS and not writing things in dark pen on the boxes themselves. If digital order taking isn't possible for now, and that's OK if it is, then invest in guest check server notepads. They are less than $10 on Amazon. The orders can be written on them with customers' names and phone numbers, the bottom can be torn off for customers to have while they are waiting for food, and, in order for a customer to receive their order, they must surrender the torn off portion. Doing something either electronically or handwritten like explained would provide a system for checks and balance instead of relying on someone's memory. Also, consider coaching, retraining, and/or replacing the woman that was working the window today as her behavior is bad for business. She was not able to or chose not to maintain composure, decorum, and handle the pressure of all of the customer traffic. Though I did not get loud, she did get loud with me and other customers saw this every time she did this. That affects business. Her choices and behavior today cost this business vending opportunities with me, my employer, the organization I was representing at today's event, and probably with other customers who saw her disrespect, treatment, and unkindness towards me.

We've been to Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles several times and make it a priority whenever we're in…read morePhoenix because we absolutely love the food. Unfortunately, today started off rough--we were seated and waited about 10 minutes without being greeted, offered water, or having our drink order taken. Thankfully, Neil noticed we hadn't been helped and immediately stepped in. He's actually served us before, and his service has always been incredible. He got us waters, took our drink orders, and even offered to grab the manager for us. The manager was very apologetic and appreciative, but Neil was truly the MVP. His attentiveness, kindness, and genuine concern for his guests really stood out. We were actually ready to leave and drive 25 minutes to another Lo-Lo's, but Neil completely turned the experience around. We hope he knows how appreciated he is and that he's being recognized for the incredible service he provides. Thank you, Neil!

They are currently open Wednesday - Sunday but definitely worth the wait. There was a gent named Stacy and the back accompanied by one of his colleagues and they were both very hospitable. Stacy even offered to let me try his jerk chicken that's not yet on the menu but it should be . I definitely ate with my eyes as I ordered Catfish, fried chicken, ribs, black eyed peas, candied yams, and the surprise add of the jerk chicken. Everything was finger licking good. I definitely recommend this location, but order directly through the business as Uber Eats did add an additional 10 charge even though I went in to pick up the food.

Had biscuits instead of corn bread The chicken was over cooked and the wing and drumstick was rather lean Potato salad was so salty it was inedible.

The location is accurate and your best parking option is the garage for 2800 N Central. It is a pay lot but CC's will validate your parking receipt. CC's is a soul food type of restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. I visited for lunch about 3 weeks ago. I read the fried chicken is popular so I ordered the 4 piece version with sides of rice and gravy along with some maque choux and a biscuit for $21. The food arrived about 15 minutes later on a big plate. The chicken pieces had a dark brown crust and were quite good tasting. Not too crusty and with hot and flavorful meat on the bone. The rice and light brown gravy were good and the maque choux looked different from the South Louisiana variety but I still enjoyed it. It had corn, tomatoes, onions and bell peppers in it. I'll bet few locals have ever heard of it! The tablevservice was good too. This was a lot of food and I didn't finish it all but it was all good tasting and very close to real southern style cooking. I would be happy to return.
