“this ain't your momma's chicken”

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 restaurants have been celebrated in publications from the Arizona Republic to the Phoenix Magazine. Every Lolo's 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 Chicken and Waffles is owned by Larry "Lo-Lo" White, the grandson of Mrs. White, the owner of Phoenix landmark Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe.Larry began his career in the restaurant business as soon as he was able to walk, talk, and bus a table at Mrs. White's.Later, as an adult, Larry started preparing chicken and waffles after-hours at Mrs. White's Golden Rule Cafe to earn extra money.Mrs. White taught him well. It's not uncommon to hear customers say Lo-Lo's fried chicken is the very best they've ever had.Lo-Lo opened his own restaurant in the summer of 2002 in downtown Phoenix. Lo-Lo's quickly became an underground sensation. Soon Lo-Lo's was seating customers from around the world in addition to their loyal Phoenix area diners.Since Lo-Lo's has been open they've offered catering service for the likes of the Arizona Cardinals, Angie Stone, Mary J. Blige, Anthony Hamilton, The Whispers, Snoop Dogg, Allen Iverson, Steve Francis and members of the Chicago Cubs.In the summer of 2009, Larry opened the second Lolo's Chicken and Waffles restaurant in south Scottsdale. Shawn Marion, whose birthday cake was made at Lo-Lo's, calls Sandy Sand's Red Velvet Cake one of his favorites.
