Food critics call Lo-Lo's Chicken and Waffles the best soul food restaurant in the Valley.

And Larry "Lo-Lo" White's fried chicken and golden brown waffles back up those claims. The amiable family restaurant has been celebrated in publications from the Arizona Republic to the Food & Life dining guide.

Many consider the most popular dish to be KK's number one: three fried chicken pieces, two waffles, two cheese-covered eggs, onions, and a side of grits. However, save room for the delicious Sandy Sand's Red Velvet Cake.

This small hole-in-the-wall restaurant serves chicken and waffles all day, but Lo-Lo's also offers Southern favorites such as catfish, chicken gizzards, collard greens, grits, and the cheesiest macaroni in town.

Lo-Lo's has been featured in Phoenix Magazine, the Arizona Republic, and Food & Life Magazine.

Lo-Lo's walls are lined with pictures and autographs of famous guests including Amare Stoudemire, Charles Barkley, Curly Neal, former Governor Rose Mofford, Larry Fitzgerald, Too Short, Ken Griffey, and WWII Tuskegee Airmen heroes.
