Lo-Lo’s Chicken and Waffles, 10 W Yuma St. Phoenix Arizona.
Chicken and Waffles ? Yes we serve breakfast and lunch, only together !
A few warnings are in order here. Don’t come here during prime dining hours (that includes late Friday nights) looking for peace and quiet or atmosphere. Unless you consider being surrounded by hungry diners and the best rap music Southern Alabama has to offer.
Don’t come here if you’re in a hurry. Everything is made from scratch and if your order comes out in less than a half-hour your blessed.
Don’t come here if it’s 110 degrees outside and you need 5 star air-conditioning. Lo-Lo’s AC system creates a climate that’s more Alabama than Iceland.
My suggestion ? Go right for No. 1 ($9.95), which gives you plenty of food and flavor . Put together with a quarter-chicken, delightfully Southern-fried crispy outside, juicy and flavorful inside; two terrific waffles, thick and eggy with a perfect balance of syrup; two eggs scrambled with cheese and onions; and grits floating in a pool of butter. Prefer your chicken smothered in a hearty peppery gravy and onions? The heavenly smothered chicken platter ($10.95) brings three pieces of chicken, as well as two sides and a big piece of homemade to-die-for cornbread.
Every dish at this Phoenix soul-food kitchen is made from scratch (and memory) from a staff that loves family and loves feeding the community. The name suggests, chicken and waffles are the house specialty but they are available in an mind-numbing number of combinations. Fish platters are available for $10.95 and include two large pan-fried CORNMEAL!-crusted fillets. Side dishes (mostly in the $2.75-$4 range) include yummy candied sweet potatoes, mac and cheese, and the standard red beans and rice. Sadly no Okra or Collards but I guess the grits will do !
Open Tues-Thurs 10 am-7 pm, Fri 10 am-2 am, Sat 10 am-7 pm, Sun 10 am-5 pm.
Looking forward to more!
