Click here: https://loloschickenandwaffles.com/menu
We literally discovered this place by accident. After flying back from another food tour in Los Angeles, we researched more fried chicken spots in the DFW area while on the plane. LO-LO’s Chicken and Waffles kept popping up everywhere, and we couldn’t believe we hadn’t heard of this place located in Grapevine, Texas. I told Jana that as soon as they brought us our car, we were heading to meet LO-LO. Once we jumped in the car and they shut our doors, we sped off to meet this famous chicken joint.

As soon as we got out of the car, I could smell the aromas of southern fried chicken wafting in the air. The scent of fried chicken is always recognizable to me, like the flavor gods are raining down chicken goodness. I knew I was about to chow down! When you add a fresh, fluffy waffle into the mix, well, things get O.S.A – Oh, So Addictive.
If you ask LO-LO’s which came first – the chicken or the waffle – they’ll tell you that it doesn’t matter because one isn’t the same without the other. Their obsession with creating the juiciest, most flavorful fried chicken and the fluffiest, melt-in-your-mouth waffles has sparked an underground soul food revolution.

We sat down and ordered, and I was extremely impressed with the service, the extensive menu selection, the Texas-sized tea glasses, and the wide array of cocktails. It’s truly “hood certified.” How can you go wrong with that? Soul food deliciousness is always on tap at LO-LO’s!
The fried chicken was cooked to perfection, slightly crunchy on the outside with soft, succulent, flavorful meat on the inside. It was so juicy that I couldn’t help but let some drip down my chin with each bite. The waffle was fluffy and absolutely delicious. The fried chicken and biscuit combo is simply stupid delicious; it’s stacked and packed with golden-brown perfection, combining savory and sweet flavors.

Everything we tried was bursting with flavor and absolutely delicious. LO-LO’s is a must-visit if you love soul food and award-worthy crispy fried chicken. Don’t forget, it’s hood certified with service provided with big smiles.
