Lo-Lo’s Chicken and Waffles

Went back in on 6÷12÷16 and they have really turned this place into a well oiled machine. Seating was faster than the given wait times, food was fast and fresh, and service was absolutely top notch. Management was actively greeting customers and taking care of their staff as well. Great experience and I am glad to see his location running as well as the others. Best fried chicken in Arizona!

So I was hyped to come here. I read the less than stellar reviews but figured I like waffles, I like chicken (not my favorite protein but whatev) and the prices were extremely reasonable. I had told my fiancé all about this place, hyping it up, getting her excited for some chicken too so we came here for our date night. Driving up to Lo-lo’s I spotted the big neon chicken sign, increasing my excitement andddd turns out, Lo-lo’s is just so-​so. Came here on a Saturday night around 8:30 or so, waited maybe 5 minutes so that was good. Probes are super reasonable and the portions are decent. My fiancé ordered the biscuits with sausage gravy that came with two eggs and home fries. The biscuits and gravy were really good, the biscuits were huge like a biscuit cake and had a nice crunchy outside. I didn’t try the eggs but she said they were fine but the home fries were bland and unevenly cooked. They don’t allow substitutions but I wish they had so she could have ordered fries instead. Plus that’s super inconvenient since a lot of the orders come with grits and I hate grits. ANYWAY, I ordered the Toy Toy which was one waffle with two fried chicken wings and I added a side of mac and cheese. The mac was really good and the cheese sauce was really thick which I thought would throw me off but the flavor was great. But the chicken and the waffle were just okay. They honestly tasted like food my father makes at home so if that’s what they’re going for, home cooked food, then they nailed it otherwise it really wasn’t anything special. I ordered a Lo-lo’s punch which was I believe red kool-​aid, red berry vodka, and pineapple juice. For $ 6 it was okay, really watered down but I wasn’t trying to get hammered so it was alright. All in all, a decent meal but definitely not worth all the hype. I’m glad I tried it but I doubt I’d go back. I will say that I like the location of the restaurant because I’m just getting familiar with Arizona and in coming here, I found a whole bunch of other cool places to eat that I’ve already bookmarked.

I was hesitant to try this place after seeing some bad reviews but I was pleasantly surprised. Even though it was busy on a Saturday around lunch time, we were able to be seated right away. The portion of my husband’s biscuits and gravy was huge!!! We could have shared it! My chicken and waffles were awesome and even the smaller portion I ordered was plenty!
Huge shoutout to our server Janea!!! She was attentive and very friendly.
Great experience and I would go back. I only hope our next time won’t be disappointing!

The food was good and hot. The seating area was very noisy. Seriously could not have a conversation. Server was very good. Almost did not try this place with 3 star reviews

We had a good Sunday dinner. Our waitress (Ms. LaDonna) was very attentive despite being overwhelmed with a large party at her section. I think she handled the situation very well. The staff and management take pride in their work. I witnessed Them come together to quickly clean up a table full of plates, wipe down the table and sweep up the floor for a party of 10 in less than 5 minutes and arrange three tables to meet the needs of the party. They are very energetic and bring positive feelings to the customers. I can’t imagine a bad experience here.

Don’t go to this Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles location. We tried to for our first time and decided to cancel our order and go somewhere else.
They told us it would be $ 2 per shrimp for extra shrimp in our Shrimp & Grits.
What!!!
We’ve been going to Lo-Lo’s Chicken & Waffles for 5 years in Scottsdale and on Central and wanted to try the newest location in Gilbert. But we will NEVER get a chance to because of an obvious error and a rude delivery of information.
SMH. Y’all know I try to support all the Black Businesses I can and I just love good food but damn if some people don’t make it hard.

I read all the bad reviews, and it almost kept me from trying out this location. I’m so glad I didn’t listen!!! We went later in the evening after the dinner rush around 7:30. My son had the Oreo pancakes and they were amazing! Idk if they were $ 13 amazing, but really yummy. I had the Betty boob with Mac and cheese and cornbread. Everything was delicious, the cornbread was just eh… A little pricey for chicken, but worth it!

I was really looking forward to Lolo’s, it had been on my breakfast bucket list. I like the concept of southern food, mason jars, gospel music on Sunday, but the food & service fell very short. The chicken was ok, the waffles I felt were just like eggo waffles. If that is what you are known for, it better be amazing. I’ve had better at Hash House in Vegas.

From Cali to visit our grandma (93 yrs young!) Had the most AMAZING lunch!!! LOVE this place! Our waiter, EJ was the best!!!

Sad experience today, Lo-Los’s is no longer our favorite. Had bad service and not great food. My husband and I ordered the same thing (chicken sandwich) and they looked totally different. A friend’s chicen was dry. The waitress seemed like she would have rather been anywhere but there.
We wondered how a restaurant in Gilbert had immediate seating… guess now we know.

I’m originally from Cali and our thing was Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles… If LoLo’s came to Cali, Roscoe’s would be done! I loooooove this place! Large portions of that down home southern cooking you only get on special occasions. Paired with a large mason jar full of hella sweet Koolaid that makes your ears pop.
I love the family pictures on the walls, and the old school 90’s R&B playing. Just a great atmosphere!
Only cons I have about LoLo’s is the wait, the smart ass duo who work the front, and the need to ask for the chicken to come out of the fryer a little earlier. Other than that, I love this place!

This was the BEST soul food place I have been to. The food and hospitality was ahhmazing. We were greeted by Roman & Kj who just showered us with greetings as if we were family. All of the staff members worked together as a team following up with us that we never had to wave anyone down to ask for anything. They anticipated the need and filled it. True customer service.
The décor was a setting with comfortable booth seats table and chairs. There’s also a bar with tvs all around making it a great place for a family gathering /​sports bar. Rool up glass garage doors allows for easy access to outdoor seating.
The menu which includes Kool aid has something that will please everyone. We all ordered something different so we could taste a little bit of everything. The chicken gizzard stole the show. The catfish was so full of flavor providing a light fresh taste that you will never forget. The aroma of the fresh fried chicken was was so good your mouth immediately starts to water.
This will definitely be a regular stop for us whenever we come to Arizona.

I ordered the chicken tenders and waffle basket. The chicken tenders were juicy– but my issue is more with the waffle. It was a tad under done for my taste and covered in butter.
I also ordered the fried green tomatoes– they were delicious. I was hoping that the chicken would have the same coating as the tomatoes, but they didn’t.
I’d come again, but I’d probably trying the normal breakfast and stay away from the chicken and waffles.

Can’t believe I’ve been here a million times and have yet to review! This Lo-Lo’s is the closest to home and the food/​service has never done me wrong (despite what other reviewers have experienced). The deep-​fried chicken is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside — much better than the pan-​fried chicken you’ll find at Roscoe’s. The waffles are absolutely delicious with a hint of cinnamon. And don’t even get me started about the Kool-​Aid! Bomb dot com with all options (Grape, Fruit Punch Red, Blue & Green Apple!!). For dessert, I recommend the banana pudding which includes Nilla Wafers mixed in and whipped cream on top.
Adding to the awesomeness is the music choice, a nice blend of soul/R&B. In fact I have Lo-Lo’s Scottsdale to thank for getting me hooked on Raheem Devaughn back on date nights with my wife back in 2010.
Next time you’re around downtown Gilbert and your stomach is rumbling, come straight to Lo-Lo’s. Despite what the Rolling Stones say, you will get some satisfaction here!

****** I think they hate Dutch bros *** No drinks from Dutch bros allowed in**** They said «drink them before coming in.» Lo lo’s you can keep your food.
Seriously kicked 4 paying customers out… Oh well. there’s a few places around here.

Being tourists from LA, we decided to walk around Gilbert for food. The last restaurant on the mini strip was Lolo’s Chicken n Waffles.
From beginning to ending our food experience was amazing. Andrea was our server and she could’ve easily complained about my party changing our orders multiple times, but she happily made any changes we requested to make our time easy and enjoyable.
I ordered the chicken n waffles with fried okra and collard greens — the food was hearty and tasted amazing! The whole vibe about this place, the FOOD, and the service of Andrea contributed to one of the most enjoyable eatings of my time in Arizona. I wish LA could take notes.

Lo-Lo’s was bumpin on a Wed night at 8pm… and it was a rainy, dreary night. That’s gotta be a testament to how much peeps be loving the place.
I had to wait about 10 minutes for a table, but the waitress was very apologetic, acknowledging my patience, which was very nice.
I ordered the KK’s with 3 thighs, because I’m not afraid of the dark. When it arrived, my cheesy eggs looked a little runny, but the taste was all that, especially with the onions.
You may want to temper your use of the hot sauce. The Lo-Lo’s brand is very similar to Tabasco.
The hot and fresh fried chicken was better than my grocery store’s, and I think Fry’s has a pretty good product.
The waffle was reminiscent of Waffle House. Why they gotta call it Waffle House? They’re not that good. Truthfully, they should re-​brand the «house» as «Waffle Bungalow».
You know who makes a great waffle? Me! So stop on by the next time I’m at your local Homewood Suites, and I’ll whip you up a Belgian to remember
Everyone was incredibly friendly. No less than 5 different people checked on me during my stay, one even patting me on the pack, but Christian was eggceptional!
I got 3 high-​fives on my way outta the joint! I felt like Aaron Carter, that time he beat Shaq

I finally stopped by their Gilbert location yesterday on Halloween. The place was super busy. I guess everybody decided they wanted chicken and waffles while dressed in their Halloween costumes. Even the staff was dressed up and it was great! It’s nice seeing people being festive. Anyways, it took about 30 minutes to be seated and 20 mins for the food come out. The wait honestly wasn’t that bad but I can only imagine dining on a weekday would be faster. Service was excellent as the hosts apologized profusely for the wait and made light conversation as did the servers. They were always a happy and quick to get you anything you need. We were even asked by the manager how things were going. Very classy.
Still the same great taste on their fried chicken as their Phoenix location but the waffles aren’t quite the same. I love the crispness of the waffles in Phoenix. The waffles in Gilbert are more soft, fluffy, and spongy. I got the usual Betty’s Boob [one chicken breast and one waffle] since I could never finish my small platter as is and I finally got to try fried gizzards for the first time ever! Interesting stuff. I should have stuck with the mac & cheese though. All-​in-​all, the Gilbert’s Lo-Lo’s location delivers the same great taste but Phoenix Lo-Lo’s has the better waffle. I’d probably be back since it’s a lot closer than the Phoenix location.

The brother wanted us to try this place. Well, we wanted mom and dad to try the waffles and chicken dish since they have never had it. Based on the reviews, we must have hit a good day. We didn’t have a lunch wait at all. Our server seemed busy, but he made sure to check up on us throughout our time there. It also felt like a sports bar because of all the TVs around.
I can’t remember exactly what my dad had, but he didn’t go the waffles route. He had chicken and a side of the mac and cheese. As a side, it looked like a pretty decent portion. Mom went for the #13 (two chicken pieces, rice and beans). Important thing to note: they don’t allow substitutions with any of the sides. Me? I wanted a mimosa. As soon as I saw it on the menu, my mouth began to water. For $ 8, it was served in what looked like a stemless wine glass. It didn’t seem like much, but I guess if it was served in a champagne glass, then it was. I also got the Aunt Portia’s omelette, which included fried chicken pieces, cheese, red and green bell peppers, and onions. It was a large omelette, but I barely had any chicken. It was kind of disappointing, but the omelette overall was not bad. It’s what I would make at home.
There is a location at the airport. I quickly glanced at the menu, but options are definitely limited there than at the restaurant. Good thing to know if I get stuck at the airport again.

I was here early on a Sunday morning, and was immediately seated and ordered my food within 2 mins of walking in the restaurant. Within the next 10 mins my food had arrived and I was chowing down on some of the best chicken I have had in awhile, and a good (not great) waffle. The syrup was really really good, and the hot sauce, while not hot enough for me, was very flavorful.
The service was perfect contrary to what others have posted and I had the 2 piece breast and wing with a waffle and I think it was about $ 11, not a bad price at all.
