I Ate At Lolo's Chicken & Waffles | Las Vegas

All the food at lolo chicken and waffles looks delicious!!!!

Hmm...as a 3rd generation entrepreneur, I encourage brick and mortar business establishments as a priority over a KZbin channel. The main three reasons: 1). Buy the land to build your own brick and mortar restaurant; 2.) Establish your brand and recipes so that there is a chance of franchising the restaurant; and 3). You will have the opportunity to pass the business to your family members so that you can establish generational wealth. This was my time watching your channel. Thanks for reviewing Lo-Lo's. I will be going there next week as a first-timer. Even though, I have been visiting Las Vegas for 43 years.

[@Marlene-oc2oz]

I’ve seen four business that had to end because the owner expired or became too old and NO ONE from the next two generations wanted to carry on that business! I’ve been told that it was not unusual. They were successful businesses and I really miss those businesses. I could understand if the next generations had good or enjoyable careers already. One was an extremely successful catering service that had years long contracts and relationships with fortune 500 corporations.

Well he is a gay drug addict so no kids to pass it too 90's xpills flipped him out lol

I live in Phoenix and I've been to Lolo's many times and thank you for the review. It was very honest and it was very fair and I love you're honesty and openness to supporting this black on business. Amazing ❤❤

The one in the white tee had body language that, to me, indicated that he was adverse to something. Did anyone else pick that up? What ?

[@lolanono1117]

[@TheManFromKansas]

That is so well put together & spoken. I agree 100 %.

[@TionnaSmalls]

Darius, you got to take the food off of the big plates and put it on the smaller plates. The one with the locks was upset at first looking at y'all eat out of the plates. Good video none the less...

[@GratefulOptimist-mv2ex]

The guy beside him, Kareem, appeared really uncomfortable after the first few minutes and began sliding away from Darius; at 26:26, when Darius asked him why, it appeared he answered he had not been informed that he was included in the camera frame or on camera beforehand. Darius responded, "Too late, you're already in it." ???

Good review! Just curious as to why the other guys couldn't get their share of the food right away? I like my food fresh and I don't want it sitting! I know you pay for the food @darius but I'm just wondering

[@ashleysharp7082]

Love Lolo's. Chicken yams mac and cheese collards and the cornbread were all very good to me. The koolaid was way too sweet.

[@destiny2092]

UNDERSTOOD 💯👍🙏

[@donnabush3065]

My daughter and I ordered the food to our hotel room. We didn’t receive the Kool-Aid. I didn’t see for the shrimp and grits that it included bacon which I no longer eat, and the whole dish was a greasy mess. My daughter got the chicken and waffles and it was not good either. I told her we must’ve gotten a bad Chef, because although these reviews weren’t perfect, some stuff sound like it taste better than what we experienced.

[@stefanietrimiar9565]

Heyy Darius, The food looks delicious at Lo-Lo..

[@PAPERBROWN12]

Food is great waited 45 min for table it was worth the wait

[@sydneec8478]

Can’t order online anywhere. You add to the cart and then it tells you “no longer taking orders” AFTER you spent time making selections. Called two days before my birthday to place a catering order and was told I would get a call from the manager as they are the only ones I can order catering through. NEVER got a call, it’s been 3 days and my birthday is gone. Called the day of my birthday 10 minutes after they opened and was told to order on Yelp. Didn’t have the full menu to order from, what’s the point? Unless you are going into the store to eat, they don’t care about you wanting to order PERIOD. Seeing as this is money down the drain for them, let’s see how long they stay open.

[@jeanfoley3266]

It would have been more interesting if they would have reviewed everything @ the same ⌚🧐

[@SheRunIt2]

Agree! And the cameraman didn’t pan the table so we could see all the food nor did he show the plate as Darius was sampling the food.

[@pamelacunningham9471]

Hi Luther! I ate there a couple weeks ago...but the one in Arizona I loved them! Hope you enjoy!

[@natashajsworldovercomers266]

[@2KGrind09]

last time I was in Vegas, i searched for all the hot spots & didn't find out about LoLo's until I got home & was upset. We have one in Tx so I'm not too upset.

[@robynharrison7631]

Darius, what is “instant” rice? I’ve seen instant AND parboiled. They are different aren’t they?

[@Senoj1]

The Grapevine location is a NO. Visited for the first time after hearing all the hype and from the time we arrived the experience wasn’t pleasant. 1 1/2 hour wait, took 40 minutes just to get water, the food came out in pieces….for example the sides came out before the meat, the waffles we hands down terrible (thin, no flavor, half of the waffle was light and the other part was dark and was room temp when it came to the table). It was so bad that the manager came to help serve our table. We couldn’t get refills on water……we had 3 different waiters, they were very slow. We ate half the food, left the rest paid out tab and never went back. I wrote a long review and pleaded for management to make some changes to improve.

[@jetit]

Oh please you want them to know who you Are... 😂😅

[@monib7493]

I've watched a few of these, never commented before....with all due respect, the two gentlemen did not appear (and I dont mean visually) to be professional chefs. The critique language was that of a lay man. I do agree w other comments that although this is your review, if you bring guests, why not everyone eat at the same time, you can still speak first. It was weird that they sat and "watched first.

[@GinaGeeILuvu]

When I go to Las Vegas I will look up Lolo's. I loved the review with the two other chefs. The restaurant looked great but the music was too loud and the tables seemed a little small to me. I feel like they were a bit "low-end" with the dining furniture.

[@blackempress200975]

The one in Dallas is amazing ❤

[@tlauzon8426]

It's kool aid of course it's sweet duh cray crst😅😅😅😅

[@DiaryofanNDA]

Can we get into the soundtrack though the music in the background made it feel like the club back in the day!

[@CherylL.-to6qb]

Do you think about the people that can’t have salt and maybe that the chef be thinking about people that cannot have the salt in the food😊😊

[@SheRunIt2]

No offense, but we don’t want to see the other ppl on the team review the food…it dragged. If they do, Darius and the chefs should’ve sampled the food at the same time.

[@goodgivingG]

Ask for serving spoons! I was grossed out each time they used their dirty forks to eat from the same plate. Wiping food unto a napkin does not clean the fork. I dine out and share multiple entrees with friends often. I simply ask the waiter or waitress for however many serving spoons we need. I also ask for a couple of extra knives as well. This is basic dining etiquette. By asking for serving spoons no one is grossed out like how the guy to the right in the white t-shirt was grossed out 😂😭.

[@charleeceejay8543]

Darius, treat your chefs better, with more respect. You can't possibly NOT know this but the chef sitting to your left dislikes you to the point that it's palpable. Maybe bcz you treat them like 2nd class ppl. For example of course you cant put words in their mouths bcz you asked for their opinions.

[@imreadii]

The music is too darn loud. I’d want to take my food to go.

[@kinathomas5028]

Btw...I don't disagree with tasting vs giving rating. Recommend everyone put portions on their plates individually and eat everything while hot (for accurate review) then give reviews in order. Sounds like a yummy restaurant!

Very disappointed live here in Vegas every time I go there is always more than a 3-hour wait which is ridiculous because everybody's in their partying and dancing and singing and clowning around instead of just eating and being mindful of the other people that would like to come in and enjoy a meal. Yesterday on January 21st of 2024 we were told it was going to be an hour and a half wait which we agreed we would wait I gave the the girl standing outside taking names and phone numbers to message you when your spot was available after waiting 2 hours I went up to the girl again and she said there was nine parties in front of myself and my daughter a party of two needless to say we went to bonefish grill sit down and ate and never received a text from the restaurant. It is now the next day and I still haven't received the courtesy text to just say I'm sorry will never go there again it's overrated and it's ghetto
