The food was good and the service was top notch. They told us it would take about 45 minutes to be seated. It only took 10 minutes to get seated. They use a text notification system to let you know your table is ready. Jelly was our server and she did an excellent job. I had the chicken and waffles which was good. My friend had the catfish with collard greens and Mac and cheese. My frat bother had the shrimp and grits which was good also.

Rating: (3/5) We came to Lo-Lo’s for the food and it definitely delivered great flavor, good portions, and the waffles were on point. The ambience was relaxed and the place looked clean and well-kept. Unfortunately, the service didn’t match the rest of the experience. Our server was hard to find, and we waited nearly 45 minutes for our food. At one point, we honestly thought they had forgotten about us. It’s worth a visit for the food, but hopefully the service is better next time.

This place has been on our list for years.... Why we never made it sooner is beyond me because they were wonderful. The corn bread was delicious... Loved that it had little bits of corn in it and the chicken was crispy and crunchy. 🤤 Everything was just amazing from the food, the atmosphere ( live DJ playing music ) all the way to our waiter. Just observing, all the staff was so attentive to the customers. Long story short, we loved it and will definitely be going back soon.

This place is a whole vibe! The music, cocktails, and food were the perfect mix for a great time. We had the deviled eggs, blackened fish with shrimp, and chicken with waffles. We also had the Cadillac Margarita. It was PERFECT!! Our server was so friendly and engaging. We definitely enjoyed our visit to this beautiful restaurant.

Enjoyed the overall visit. When entering, the live DJ was playing the music really loud that we thought about leaving. DJ’s switched and the 2nd DJ turned it down and played a good mix! Waitress was nice and informative. Food was supposed to be delayed for up to an hour, but came in 20-30 minutes. Ordered Shrimp and Grits, full Wings and Chicken Strips. Had a glass of grape kool-aid with half lemonade. Food was excellent! Will return!!

We were referred here by our pastor and our music director from our church. Stepped out the truck and instantly smelt how good the food was. The atmosphere was really nice, our server was really great and accommodating. Our food was "just ok" felt as everything needed more seasoning. I got the 3pc chicken 2 side meal, chicken lacked flavor, greens was decent, fried okra was ok, and the cornbread was cool. My wife got the tilapia meal, the fish wasn't clean all the way as we could still taste the fishy taste. The dirty rice was decent, tasted more of brown rice instead of dirty rice. Her veggies were super oily and also lacked seasoning. Now the drinks were really, really good. I got the blackberry lemonade, and my wife got the Hennessy drop, which she said was one of her favorite drinks ever. That waffle was super good.

How do you squeeze in eating at three restaurants within a 12-hour time span? Travel with me and my spouse! I actually had Mrs. White's Golden Rule Café bookmarked for our last layover meal in Phoenix but because they didn't open early enough, we ended up at Lo Lo's. ATMOSPHERE: Established in 2002 by Larry White, the restaurant is located in a quiet but shady-feeling part of southern Phoenix. They proudly display their back-of-house operation with big windows along the sidewalk where you can see them making their biscuits. The space has a fun vibe with soul music pumping throughout. Brick walls and industrial décor made for a modern feel. Seating is plentiful with a mix of booths, low tops and protected outdoor tables. MENU: It's huge! Southern-inspired breakfast selections, chicken & waffle combos, catfish, shrimp, grits, burgers, salads, desserts, kids menu. FOOD: Lil Amadi This chicken & waffle combo came with a drumstick, a thigh and a waffle! What a deal!? The chicken was crispy, juicy and seasoned perfect. I'm thinking they do a dry batter as there wasn't that nasty undercooked film you sometimes find in wet-battered fried chicken. The waffle had a nice crunch and was moist inside but there was a hint of cinnamon coming from either the syrup or the waffle itself that I could've done without. Still, I'd totally order this again. Very tasty! One Buttermilk Biscuit It was a hearty portion with great flavor and just the right amount of moistness. Comes with a dollop of butter and jam to the side. Cheese Grits Talk about butter and oil overload. While it was tasty, there was way too much butter that crowned the bowl. The copious amount of cheese also left a big oil slick at the top. I understand that southern cuisine isn't healthy but they should be put on the side so one can regulate their cholesterol intake, LOL. SERVICE: Amanda was our terrific, on-the-ball server. She was friendly, professional and checked on us often. TIP: The entire menu is available from breakfast time, which is how they earned our biz! OVERALL: The best chicken and waffles I've had yet. Lively ambiance, nice menu, great service. A definite return!

Omg FOODIES DO NOT WASTE YOUR TIME. this was my first time in AZ and I heard u have to come here to try this place.... I came in around 11am...I was the second table. I ordered the 1st option which is 3 pieces of chicken eggs and waffles i orderd Grits and gravy, it was around $26. The food took an hour and 20mins. Didnt get and update or anything, the waitress kept walking by nonchalantly. Then When I received my food I only received the eggs and grits. I asked her where they shell eggs she said yes but they looked extremely weird, ( look at the video) the gravy was straight out the can 🤢, like it had Gelatin in it. The chicken was ok, but the Breast was CLEARLY FAKE MEAT ( Check picture) the meat was in straight layers ....WEIRD. After about 2mins of not receiving my Chicken and Waffles I asked to speak to the manager, 15 more mins went by no manager after I seen him walk by a few times, then the food came out. By then my food was cold and I couldnt enjoy it together like a meal. Just awful. At that point I just asked for my check....no adjustments was made no apology no explanation....STILL NO MANAGER.. OH and the WAFFLE.....WAS SUBPAR...REGULAR HOTEL WAFFLES WITH A DAP OF CINNAMON.....JUST TRASH!!! This is pictures rating 2 /10

Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles - The Best Chicken Since Colonel Sanders, Believe Me Folks, let me tell you something very important--Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles in Phoenix is absolutely tremendous. It's the kind of place that makes you proud to be an American. You walk in and immediately smell victory--crispy, golden, deep-fried victory. Now listen, I've had a LOT of chicken in my life. Some of the best. Some say I even had a secret McNugget button in the White House--totally true. But Lo-Lo's? Next level. We're talking perfectly seasoned, fried to crispy perfection, and the waffles? Oh, the waffles. Fluffier than a CNN apology and sweeter than Melania on Valentine's Day. Incredible combination. It's like yin and yang but with butter and syrup. I ordered the "Tre Tre's" special--three pieces of chicken, one massive waffle, enough syrup to flip Arizona red again. Beautiful. And the sides? Mac & cheese, greens, cornbread--so good it should be illegal, but don't worry, it's not. Very legal. Very delicious. The vibe inside? Cool, relaxed, a little soul, a lot of flavor. Great music. Great people. I shook a few hands, signed some autographs--tremendous support. And let's not forget the Kool-Aid of the Day. That's right, folks--Kool-Aid. They're not playing around. This is real comfort food. The kind that makes you want to buy a pickup truck and vote twice. (Just kidding, only once. Maybe.) Service? Fast. Friendly. Very respectful. Called me "Mr. President" twice. I liked that. Bottom line: Lo-Lo's is what happens when God looks down on fried chicken and says, "Let there be waffles." It's a beautiful thing, folks. A true American institution. You haven't lived until you've dipped fried chicken into maple syrup while making eye contact with a biscuit. I give it 5/5 wings and maybe a presidential pardon for being too good to be legal. -- Donald J. Waffle-Lover

Went to Lo-Lo's Chicken & Waffles for lunch on a Saturday during our vacation. We read reviews that were pretty good so we figured we'd check them out. I highly recommend putting yourself on the waitlist through Yelp as they get busy. It was about an hour wait, but by the time we arrived we were 2nd on the waitlist and only needed to wait about 10 minutes. They have a small parking lot but we found parking without an issue. I assume this could be a challenge if they get too busy! First impressions: the place is a little tight, but the vibes were good. They had a DJ spinning rnb and old school hits and the crowd seemed to be enjoying it. It can get a little loud, so for folks with sensory sensitivity this could be a bit much. Our service was super sweet, but we noticed she often forgot things and messed up our order. She was apologetic and did what she could to remedy it. We started with the catfish bites and gizzards. The food took a LONG time. Almost 45 minutes for appetizers and 15-20 minutes after for our main meal. I will say the food was hot and fresh, so plan to wait a bit for your food. I ordered the blackened catfish with dirty rice and sautéed veggies. It seemed a bit bland to me about after adding some salt it was more edible. Our table also ordered chicken tenders and a waffle (which they loved) and a few sides to try. Overall, it as a good experience. The ambiance is super cool, but the service was slow, some of the food items were mediocre, and it just gets so jam packed plan to wait a long time to be seated and to get your food.

The food is great. My server was nice. But as an autistic individual the music was way too loud. I put on my noise cancelling headphones and the music is so loud it didn't even work. Maybe I'll be back for just take out. But I wanted lunch not a club. It really is mentally exhausting.

Stopped here on our trip back to Tucson, for takeout. The vibe inside was nice. Quite a few diners and people getting take out. So, the food must be good. Got my food and when I reached my destination, I heated it up and ate. I had gotten the hot honey wings and collard greens. The collard greens were yummy. Great balance of flavor and spice. The chicken was good too.

The food was delicious and the chicken was so tender and tasty! I also had a cocktail that was delicious, a little on the sweet side. I would definitely go back for chicken and sides!

Came here for brunch on Labor Day and it was a surprisingly short wait to get seated. We ordered some chicken & waffles combos--I got the Toy-toy with a side of mac n cheese and collard greens. The waffles here are nice and thin with a little crisp. Chicken was moist and skin was flavorful. Our server said "can't go wrong with the collard greens" and he was right. Thanks for a good meal Lo-Lo's!

While on travel in Phoenix, I had a taste for some fried chicken. I saw a few good reviews so I decided to try Lo-Lo's and I was glad I did. I ordered the 3 piece dinner 2 wings and a thigh with zucchini and squash and mac-n-cheese. The chicken was very flavorful, the zucchini/squash mix was delicious, but the mac-n-cheese needed a little salt. I had my ordered delivered so I did not get to visit, but I would definitely recommend if you are looking for nicely seasoned fried chicken and good squash mix.

We stopped for lunch at the original location of Lolo's Chicken and Waffles on Central in Phoenix. You can never go wrong at Lolo's! I really love the look of this place. The exposed brick and wood beams in this whole building really add to the feel. There are pictures of the family all over which give it a very personal touch. As always, I check out wedding fixtures, and I love the ones here - - especially the mason jar lights. The old school r&b that plays in the background is a perfect match. There are some great murals on the outside of the building. We were served by Jasmine, who might actually be the best server in the world. She is super friendly and upbeat - - like a ray of sunshine! I made sure to order dessert first so I wouldn't risk not having room for it. That was a good move because the portions here are HUGE. We had: *The Little Amadi (chicken& waffles) *The Phat Azz Sammich *Banana Puddin' Everything was so good. I have to mention the fries, which are sooooooo good. I normally don't like leftover fries, but I brought home some fries with my Sammich and and they were still so good reheated. This place is always a good bet, and even though I was sad when the Gilbert location closed, I have to say I like this location better anyway.

We enjoyed #1 KK's, and #3 Lo-Lo's. The fried chicken was good but the cinnamon vanilla waffles were lovely, these were nice. The grits were good, and the soft scrambled eggs with onions were even better. Their sweet tea was nice. Big and hardy meal overall. Enjoyed the fun atmosphere and music too. Good service.

I'm dating myself as I've been coming to LoLo's Chicken n Waffles when it was just a house and Larry was working the kitchen and always conversing. Over the years, this place has been my go-to spot when I need some southern comfort food here in the valley. I'm always been a big fan of chicken, wings, waffles, and drinks and always find a way to mix it up. From the Toy-toy, Double D's, the LoLo's, it all depends on my hunger (or greed). I'm a fan of a crispy waffle so I also make this request when ordering and it delivered again. 2 of favorites sides here are the Mac & Cheese & Collard Greens. Pricey sides, but worth it. If your in the mood for a lot of sides, I would recommend the Soulfood Platter. As for a cocktail, the Blackberry Paloma... I think I sucked it down like my daughter's Blue Kool-Aid. This time around it was daddy-daughter quality time after a long day of sports. The DJ was on point and blended the right old skool jams that my daughter recognized. The classic was Slick Rick & Doug E Fresh joint that had all the old heads in there doing the lyrics and my kid was looking at me like I lost my mind. Love the family vibe, love the culture & always a great experience. One suggestion, make sure the customer service stays on point with promptness and follow-up, I'd like to see them help each other out to provide the best customer experience for guests. It didn't impact our service, but noticed it did for a few other tables.

Place probably would have been a super chill spot, but you need reservations :) Esp. on a Sunday. The wait time for a table of 2 was an hour. Dope, live music and dj. food looked and smelled good My friend and I ended up leaving because of the wait time, but i would def come back! A lot of people were also coming in and getting food to go. it must be great! free surface level parking near a metro/train stop

This place is was slow. It took 40 minutes to received my order and when I got it was half cooked. Bad customer service and they don't really have black people working there. In a black establishment they employed mostly all Mexicans

This was our first time in Phoenix and we wanted to patronize a Black owned restaurant especially during the economic blackout on 28 February 2025. We (a group of 5) were seated pretty quickly and enjoyed the live DJ and classic Black tv show clips while we waited. The food was GREAT!! I had the platter with 3 piece dark, candied yams, collards with smoked turkey and cornbread . Everyone in my group got a variation of the same. The sweet tea was EXTRA sweet so I had to water mine down which was fine. They even had Kool-aid (red & purple)!! My sister had a Henny Drop Our waitress was great and had excellent recommendations!! Most DEFINITELY will return when I come back to Phoenix!!

On the morning of our flight back home, we decided to get a quick breakfast here. Our girlfriend who lives here and has a past with Lo-Lo's wanted us to expereince the best chicken and waffles. I didn't get the chicken waffles but I did get their biscuits and gravy, homefries, and eggs. I couldn't believe the portion I got and how delicious the biscuits and gravy were. They scrambled the eggs just perfectly. The potatoes were yummy. I saw that my friends' chicken was of good portion and one of them had deviled eggs with a shrimp on top. Our server was super nice and patient with us. I loved the playlist playing. This place was wonderful! Love. Love. Love.

This plays was SO GOOD. You can tell its good when its full. The seating time was normal; not super long but not quick either. My sister got an alcoholic drink and with a waffle and 2 pieces of chicken while i got chicken wings with a side of fries. They give you water too before you get your drinks. The vibes were really nice and the workers were attentive. 10/10 would recommend

Stopped by to grab a quick lunch, their waffles and chicken was really good. They had a nice combo for 3 piece chicken with sides. Their portions are quite large. However, if you are going for a quick bite , it may take time. I felt the service on the day we went was a little slow. They did appear to be quite busy as well. The food on its own was really good, the waffle was quite thin and light. The chicken was very tender and crunchy.

We came from Virginia and our host here in Arizona couldn't stop talking about it. So we made sure we get to go there on the morning the day of going back. The place is kind of away from the main city but it was easy to find. The place is nice, clean and they have a lot of staff. We got seated right away and orders taken. It didn't take long to get our food. Our server is so nice and got it right on our orders. The best one is the Lolo fried Chicken with waffles. Fried chicken is crispy, delicious and the waffle is just delicious. We finished off our orders and we are all satisfied. Thanks Lolo. We love it.

I've done a review already but I just needed to shout out our server Ebony. A group of us just dined here and as always the food is bomb. The service is amazing. All the staff is really friendly and make you feel welcome. The music is bumping and the ambiance is ...well Lo-Los. We just happen to get there right as a huge group of people showed up so the restraint went from a few tables taken to the whole place filled. I can see it became chaos in the back. Our server Ebony maintained her cool her smile and still gave us great service. Kept us abreast of the busyness in the back. Apologized for the delay and our food arrived hot fresh and tasty. Didn't taste rushed. Thanks Ebony and the staff in the back.

The food was soooooo good! I haven't been in years due to some of my last experiences not being the greatest. The only thing I could complain about is how long it took for my food to get to the table...but the taste was definitely worth it. I also really like that the greens don't have any meat, because I don't eat pork and I feel a lot of soul food places use that in their greens. Mac n cheese TASTE JUST AS GOOD AS IT LOOKS.

Our server was amazing! Even though she got sat a large party her coworkers made sure we were good! We sat outside and it was a nice day. The DJ was playing great music! The collards with turkey were good but it was a little spicy. The catfish and chicken were both seasoned really well and tasted great I just wish they were both hotter. I like my fish and chicken hot out the grease! Lol the potato salad was really good as were rhe yams. If you're in the area definitely stop by! Not to mention on weekends they have $4 mimosas and they do great pours!

I was so looking forward to eating here hearing such great things and really enjoying the food few years back at their other location. 6 of us went here before going to a comedy show. I thought it was just me but none of us were impressed. Our waitress was fantastic. The regular fried chicken and strips were moist. Those were the 2 stars. 1. To start the area is not safe a homeless man was changing his clothes and washing himself across the street as we were walking in. Its right off the lightrail Ok not the restaurants fault. 2. Walking in the music was so loud it was more of a club loud then dining loud. Sitting at the table we were not able to hear each other. 3. The website showed the appetizer 3 for 21 they no longer had that so I just got the Okra and gizzard. 4. The gizzard had no seasoning it was bland overcooked and over battered. They were nice enough to take them back and not charge me. 5. One of my friends who did get the waffle with her chicken..... the waffle was so sad limp and came about 10 min after the test of the meals. 6. We were looking forward to the banana Pudding...... it was watery and yucky. 7. After the dinner we went to the ladies room one of the toilets had dried up pee all over it.... an employee walks in to use the bath room says ugh and walks into the other one. You work there how about cleaning it? 4. No sugar free Kool aid options.

This is my 3rd here and once in Las Vegas. Everything I like to try new items from their menu. This time I decided to go with Biscuits and Gravy. These meal is meant for two people. It was good but a lot of carbs. No meat besides the eggs. I wouldn't recommend this as a stand alone item but has a shareable item. Do get some chicken and the cool aid.

The best service from our server Kat. It was our first time and she made sure we felt welcomed. I showed her a picture I saw on yelp on what I wanted and she knew exactly the combo! She constantly checked in and made sure waters were filled. It says it gets pretty packed but we didn't have much of a wait at 4 pm. Portion sizes are good. I could have shared my plate ! Overall great atmosphere and food

This Lo-Lo's Chicken and Waffle is located in an industrial area. Also there is a lot of construction around the area. The restaurant is a brick and mortar literally. The decor is fun, modern, and filled with family pics. The service was ok. There were times when there were a few customers waiting to be seated, and nobody was around to help them. They had about 5 servers that day. Troy was good as he took care of us and was training a new server also. The menu has a lot of interesting and delicious items. You should find something you like. They have Kool-Aid! Breakfast All Day, Dessert, etc. Lil Amadi: One thigh and one drumstick or two thighs & one delicious waffle (4.5/5). The golden fried chicken was nicely seasoned on the outside. The skin was crispy and delicious. The meat inside was juicy as you would expect dark meat to be. The waffle was crispy, and it came with whipped butter and a nice maple syrup that was perfect in sweetness and not overly sweet. Poached eggs (3.5/5) - nice and lightly poached where the yolk was runny. Beans Over Rice (4/5) - flavorful, smokey, tender beans in a delicious sauce over steamed white rice. I am glad a friend recommended this place to us.

A popular local spot with solid fried chicken. Potatoes were great too. The drinks here are very popular - different kinds of (very sweet) kool-aid mixtures. The corn bread was very dry and flavorless. Prices are a tad high compared to a Waffle House but I'd say it's worth it. The ambiance inside is nice and lively. The service was ok, with surprisingly long wait times even when it's empty.

The OG downtown Lo-Lo's always takes me back to when it first started in that little house. I have some great memories tied to this spot, and no matter how much time passes, it still holds that original soul food charm. My go-to order? The Soul Food Platter--catfish, yams, mac and cheese, and two sides of chicken drums. It's the perfect combo for a true comfort food fix. One thing I love about this place is the mix of people--locals, out-of-towners, all walks of life coming together over some classic Southern eats. The vibe is always there. That said, the food consistency can be hit or miss, which takes away from that full soul food experience. But when they're on point? It's unbeatable. I still come back every so often, hoping to relive that magic again.

I'll FOREVER be a STAN for LoLo's! And the Keith Lee Effect is REAL!!!! I've been a fan since the owner worked with his Grandma at Mrs. White's. I remember the OG house from the 1st location and all. Truly inspiring to watch it grow to what it is now! Great food! Great service! AMAZING ambience. Family friendly and welcoming to ALL. My usual is the "Toy Toy or Tre Tre" but today I had the blackened fish with eggs and grits and was blown away!!!! Perfectly scrambled eggs, buttery fluffy grits, and the fish was plentiful and well seasoned!

Omgggggggg! I miss this place so much! I came here for a concert weekend in Phoenix and boyyyy was it amazing! They were really packed and I went on a Sunday morning, the day Chris brown performed in town and I actually admire how Lo-Lo's handled it. We waited around 40 minutes and when we came back everything was ready. Everything was rich in flavor from the crispy breading to the sweet drink. My Mac and cheese was great as well. My waffle was flavorful, but waffles aren't the best to get to go so I recommend staying in to eat the waffles. When we went in, there was good music playing and good vibes in general.

After hearing people recommend this restaurant for years, I finally had my first chicken & waffles. Wow! It seems to always be busy, especially in the weekends. It just shows how good the food is! Can't really comment on the ambiance due to it being SO busy, but the team worked really hard. They are certainly used to the pace, but they still had great attitudes. We'll be back soon!

Very limited parking, The restaurant looks lovely. The food is just okay, quite pricy $$. TURN DOWN THE MUSIC - It would be nice to be able to hear the conversation while you're eating a meal with your family and friends.

The food was incredible! I split the waffles and chicken with another person and still had leftovers. We all did! The service was really good too. Our server Diamond was friendly and communicative about the food taking 30 minutes. They were busy! I love that the vibe didn't reflect how busy they were. The DJ was great and nice too. Definitely worth the drive and wait!

Just passing through I was delighted to see this well reviewed soul food spot . My delight was quickly deflated when I received my food. First off , can we talk about how the cornbread is just half done pound cake? Or the fact that the potato salad consist of only one ingredient that makes it identifiable as potato salad? ( the potatoes) There were huge chunks of red pepper in there but no egg or pickle of any kind. The greens , I could identify anywhere. Glory greens with sugar and red pepper flakes added. The fish while may have been seasoned fine, was wayyy too heavily breaded and hard for my liking . This is one of those awful situations where you pay for a meal and instead of feeling full and satisfied you are just left with questions and regret . And STARVATION.

Pretty good chicken and waffles. I like getting the chicken strips. The fries and corn bread is delicious as well.

In town for our 87th Grand Chapter Meeting and I researched this establishment. My first recommendation is to run don't walk to get some really great food. Both times we ate there the food was great and the staff were friendly. I wish we had this restaurant back home. Great job and keep up the good work

Crispy chicken. Check Fluffy Waffles. Check Cold grape Kool-Aid. Check. Tried & true recipes I love! I have never had a bad meal here. If you go, especially after church on Sunday, make sure you get there early as it gets busy. #KK's IsTheBest

Hard to go wrong with chicken and waffles plus the most sugar-saturated kool aid you have ever had. Classic Phoenix restaurant.

My family and I come to Arizona every year and this is the only restaurant that we eat at. The staff is great, the food is delicious and above all the restrooms are clean. Thank you to the owners, the cooks and the wait staff. The women from Reno, Nevada appreciate your business and your service.

Lo Lo's was hitting!!!! That grape kool aid drink put me back in my childhood. We have a little waiting time but it did not feel long at all. We sat down and when the food came out it was fresh and hot. We were able to listen to the music, sing, and talk; without feeling overwhelmed or trying to yell over it. We started with the Chicken gizzards. They were tender and delicious but they can intimidate some people, due to their size. We had to cut them up. The waffle beats all waffles. Perfect blend and crispy !! The chicken was seasoned lovely ! Even with me throwing the syrup on them did not take away the flavor. The eggs were just okay. That Cadillac margarita has my sister on her backside lol. The yams were amazing. Catfish was seasoned to perfection. The green were a little too spicy.

The chicken and waffles are delicious! My friend wanted to try this place for lunch so we decided to give them a try. They had a wing special on the day we went so we ordered a few dozen for the table and some sides as well. The deviled eggs were delicious, along with the collard greens, waffles (so soft and fluffy), and mac and cheese (it was ok). The server recommended a cocktail (Hennessy and grape koolaid) that packed a punch. Apparently koolaid is a big hit at a lot of soul food restaurants and they had all the flavors (and identified them by color 'red', 'blue',etc.) and even a few cocktails with koolaid.

Best soul food plate I've had in a really long time. Chicken was fried to perfection, crispy and juicy. The waffle was fluffy and still firm enough to hold itself with butter and syrup. The sides were all delicious, the broth on the greens was seasoned to perfection, Mac & cheese was amazing. The catfish could have used a little bit more seasoning, but was cooked perfectly. The music was a great selection of upbeat R&B, it was a tad loud, which elevated everyone's speaking volumes. However it was a Friday night, so the vibes were appropriate. Staff was friendly and attentive, I would definitely return.
